Chapter 142: Strange Things
Night, silence, slaughter.
This is the darkest hour before dawn, and the bright starlight in the sky is shrouded in demonic fog, and it is also like the magic eye of a dark night ghost who covets people's hearts.
Why is the mist in mid-air red, this kind of mist makes Xu Ning's heart a little hairy.
He slowed down as hard as he could, and forced himself to move forward, and the silence was worse than the cemetery, without the breath of life.
The Blood Pool, which was blocked between Juling Peak and the Demon Wind Mountain Range, and was also the terrifying place he had to pass through to Zhuping Village, turned out to be more and more terrifying before dawn.
Chen Jin had told him not to pass by this place at night, especially in the period before the morning come, which is also the time when the demonic energy is at its strongest. The old man of Zhupingzhai also told him many terrible rumors about the blood pool.
It is said that in the ancient war of gods and demons, countless demon soldiers were desperate and hid in the deep pool, and the Celestial Clan found this pool in the chase, and imprisoned them in it with extremely cruel means, slowly rotting and dying, and since then the souls have been deposited in the water, and a pond of clear water has also turned into blood.
Xu Ning didn't know if it was true or not, but in short, he had personally thrown stones into this blood pool, which also stirred up a terrible demon mist, and almost brought great disasters to Zhu Pingzhai.
It was the dawn of the morning, and he wasn't sure if he should wait until dawn before passing through the pool of blood.
However, the terrible scene he saw tonight really worried him, and he was now anxious to tell SΓΉ Yanbing, and perhaps he could find a trace of comfort in her warm arms.
"Isn't it just a little more demonic? I hesitated like a woman, and looking forward and backward was simply a loss of face for Master and his hometown. Xu Ning said to himself, "It's just that there is really a monster appearing, I'm really good to clean him up, it's disgusting to look at this ghost place." β
He was resolute, and remembered that if he could destroy the monsters in this blood pool, the Yan people would be able to enter and leave the wild forest safely in the future, and a courage rose inexplicably in his heart. So he ignored it and continued to approach the pool of blood.
He was depressed at night, and he didn't like anything, and he saw a pool of blood looming in the red mist from a distance. Today, he passed by here three times in a row, and compared to the previous one, the scene near the blood pool was obviously very different.
When we reached a distance of several hundred meters, this strange feeling became more and more obvious. The demon fog is really intense, showing a strange red color in the faint moonlight, and the fishy stench in the air is so strong, fortunately, Xu Ning is not uncomfortable with this kind of demon qi, and ordinary people would have been hit by the demon qi and died.
"Goo-goo-goo-goo......"
The blood-red pool continued to bubble outward, and the scarlet blood-like pool water shot up several meters high.
Xu Ning's heart rose to his throat, and he couldn't control his curiosity, so he slowly walked to the edge of the blood pool and looked at it through the faint sky. Soon there was a convulsion on his face, and he hurriedly lifted his body, turned around and found a boulder nearby to hide, and secretly exclaimed in his heart: "What kind of strange thing is this Nima?" β
At this time, the crescent moon was sometimes hidden in the clouds, the light flickered on and off, and several red arms stretched out from this dim pool of blood!
Xu Ning shook his teeth, made up his mind, and was determined to see the truth. So through the gap in the stone crevice, he secretly forgot about it, and saw a few dark red figures crawling out of the pool of blood.
Sticky blood continued to drip from his body, his limbs were more slender than normal humans, his body was rickety, and his mouth kept making a low "ahhhhh
The fog here was too thick, and Xu Ning didn't know whether these bloody people were heading towards the Demon Wind Mountain Range or the Ancestors Peak, and his heart was even more anxious. Looking at these weird and disgusting things, they must be some kind of evil things, if you sneak into Zhupingzhai, you really have to be careful.
"No, I have to follow secretly, in case it is an extremely powerful monster, Bing'er and them will be in danger."
Xu Ning made up his mind and was about to sneak out from behind the boulder, when there was a sound of "cooing" bubbles in his ears, so he had to shrink back and hide behind the stone, and he didn't dare to take a breath.
Sure enough, a few bloody people kept crawling out of the blood pool, and they walked into the night again.
Xu Ning calculated, there were fourteen or five people in these two groups of bloody people, and he didn't know where he went. He waited in the dark for a while, until there was no movement in the blood pool, and then he tiptoed around the blood pool and headed towards the road leading to the Ancestral Peak.
The night was dim and the fog covered a qiΔ in layers, and the road was full of blood stains and blood marks, and the air was also fishy and smelly. The further he went, the more frightened he became, and it seemed that this group of bloody people must be going to the peak of the ancestors.
There were fourteen or fifteen of them he had seen with his own eyes, but he wasn't sure if there had been bloody people coming out of the pool earlier.
After walking for a while, several red figures faintly appeared in front of them, and the people of Lisen were terrifying in this desolate wilderness. Xu Ning didn't dare to appear rashly, so he had to slow down, follow from a distance, and look back from time to time, for fear that another bloody person would come.
Just walked and stopped for a hundred miles, and it was estimated that after walking for more than half an hour, I saw the Xianmin Peak hidden in the darkness in the distance, and several red ghosts disappeared from Xu Ning's eyes after bypassing the mountain pass, and it seemed that it was almost in front of the cliff "high wall" in front of Zhuping Village.
Xu Ning sneaked to the height of the valley and peeked over from above, and sure enough, the dozen or so bloody people were sneakily swimming under the cliffs, as if looking for the entrance to the cave.
He felt a little relieved in his heart, it seemed that there were only a dozen bloody people, and he knew that the secret passage mechanism was extremely exquisite, and it would be impossible for outsiders to open it if it were not for the people inside who understood the mysteries.
Xu Ning didn't dare to move for a while, for this kind of strange and chaotic thing, anyone was stunned when he saw it, Rao is kind of courage definitely didn't dare to act rashly, just held his breath and observed the next move of these bloody people.
More than a dozen bloody monsters wandered around under the cliff for a long time, and after finding that there was no way in, they gathered together, whispered to each other, and then dispersed again to do something unexpected to Xu Ning.
I saw the bloody people jumping onto the steep rock wall one after another, as if their hands and feet were tightly attached to the stone like suction cups, and climbed up like ghosts, and the miserable white night was reflected on the blood-soaked body, which was very strange. Originally, Xu Ning followed behind them, and felt that these monsters were slow, but at this time, seeing that their speed was far faster than that of apes, he was surprised that they had climbed hundreds of meters.
Xu Ning frowned and thought: "These monsters are obviously in a hurry to enter the village, I don't know what they are going to do?" There were so many weird and terrible things that happened tonight, where did he figure it out, and suddenly he looked up again, and the monster on the cliff had disappeared from his eyes, and the speed of going up was unbelievable.
His heart froze, and he exclaimed, "Looking at the speed of these monsters, it will take less than half an hour to reach the top, in case the guards at the top of the cliff can't find it in time, it's really dangerous." β
At this point in the year, he flew and jumped underneath, took a deep breath of air, and let out a sharp sound from his throat. This voice pierced through the sky with his Yuan Force, resounding and high through the sky, echoing throughout the valley for a long time.
Xu Ning sounded the alarm, and the dantian qi and sea vitality were tumbling, ready to go, waiting at the bottom of the cliff, to cut off the retreat of the bloody man.
Sure enough, not long after the sound came out, several chirps of birds and night owls were heard in the sky, and the sound became more and more dense. Xu Ning was horrified, and he stepped back and looked up, but this cliff was as high as ten thousand feet, and there were clouds and mist in the air, and he could see something anywhere.
He waited patiently for a long time, but the sound of birdsong above became more and more terrible, and he couldn't help thinking, "What if the above can't resist it?" β
Finally, he couldn't wait, and returned to the stone wall, just as Xu Ning was about to run his body method to climb up, there was a strong wind howling in the air and something fell, and he hurriedly avoided it.
"Bang!"
There was a dull impact on the ground, and some rotten things splashed on Xu Ning's face, and it turned out that the thing that fell was a bloody man, and it was shattered and turned into a puddle of flesh.
Xu Ning wiped his face, his hands were sticky with blood-red liquid, and the stench emitted made him want to gag.
"Bang bang! Bang bang bang! β
Several bloody people kept falling from the air, all of them fell to pieces, and the smelly flesh and blood flew everywhere, which was extremely disgusting. Xu Ning only cared about dodging, afraid that he would be contaminated with this nasty thing again, where could he take care of anything else.
At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, but the demon fog here was thick, so it was still pitch black and blurry everywhere. When the terrible birdsong in the air gradually quieted down, a large area of flesh and mud was lying under the cliff, full of the corpses of bloody people who had just fallen from the sky.
Xu Ning counted it slightly, there were fifteen in total, and all of them who climbed up just now fell to their deaths, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. However, there was a strange itching pain on his face and hands, and when he raised his hand in front of him, he was immediately shocked: the blood-stained places on both palms began to be red and swollen, and they must soon fester.
He hurriedly sat down to breathe his luck, and used the thick True Yuan Qi in his body to force out the venom, and the situation improved instantly, but there was still an itchy feeling coming from time to time.
"Kara Kara ......"
A gap was opened in the stone wall that was originally seamlessly connected, and a group of figures with weapons jumped out of the secret passage, Xu Ning looked at it, and the first person with a petite body holding a silver-white longbow was Yan Bing. He was followed by several other people, most of whom Xu Ning also recognized, it was the three brothers of Elder Sun and the other strong men in the village.
"Brother Xu Ning!"
A gentle and crisp voice sounded in the darkness, Yan Bing ran to Xu Ning, helped him up from the ground, and saw that half of his cheeks were clearly red and swollen, as if he had been stung by a poisonous bee, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Three elders, help me see what happened to Brother Xu Ning's face?" β
The "Three Elders of Yanshan" were very anxious when they heard Yan Bing's words, and hurriedly checked closer, and they were all scared into a cold sweat, and the Great Elder said: "Quickly take Gongzi Xu to the stone hall to meet the old patriarch!" β
The other two old men hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Xu Ning's arm.
Xu Ning shook his head and said, "It's just a little symptom outside the flesh, I can walk by myself." When he said this, he clearly changed his voice, the muscles on his face were swollen, and his mouth was slightly crooked.
Yan Bing jumped to his feet and cried: "Then why don't you hurry up and go with me." With a whistle in her mouth, a black shadow rushed in front of her, she pulled Xu Ning up, and drove the night leopard through the secret passage between the stone walls like a lightning speed, and ran towards the stone chamber in the back mountain.
Except for a few others who stayed behind to clean up the corpses of the bloody men, the three elders also hurriedly carried their hands and followed the night leopard forward.
