Chapter 19: The Mystery of Life
The impact of the black light did not stop, the snake body hit the barrier behind it, and it was still violently pushing backwards, and endless dark forces fluctuated and oscillated within the barrier, forming bursts of hurricanes, and the barrier shook like a lake under the stormy waves.
Ling Xiaotear gritted his teeth, clasped the knot seal on his hand tightly, and firmly planted his feet on the ground, trying to support the enchantment.
Seeing that the body of the big snake was about to break through the barrier behind her, and the dark power was about to overflow, she stood firm again, her eyes fierce:
"Enchantment Stacking - Rashomon!"
I saw that behind the broken barrier, three huge gate-shaped barriers suddenly stood up, once again resisting the impact of the dark power that broke through the boundary, until the last door was erected, the dark power gradually dissipated, but the hurricane and flying sand and rocks had turned the world upside down.
Ling Xiao's tears shook a few times as if in collapse, and her body collapsed, she had exhausted all her mana. The barrier shattered, and the fragments fell one after another, reducing them to nothing.
The giant snake had been swept out of a hundred meters by the black light, and all the vegetation and trees had been razed to the ground on this wide trajectory along its path.
Black Feather looked at the scorched ground, the area protected by the barrier, the dark power did not leak out, and the place outside the barrier area, especially after the first barrier was broken, the surrounding grass and trees were contaminated with the dark aura and quickly withered and withered.
Black Feather waved her black wings and landed slowly beside the corpse of the serpent. On the top of the dead snake's head, a spirit with powerful mana was levitated, and it was enough to cultivate for a hundred years. Hei Yu reached out and took the essence soul, and after absorbing it, his breath gradually stabilized, and a steady stream of energy was flowing in his body.
"The spirit of this big snake is really powerful, it is worthy of a hundred years of cultivation, and its mana has improved a lot!"
He flew to Ling Xiao's side again.
"It seems that the Twilight Forest is the right place! In the future, this is the place where we cultivate, we will take classes in the academy during the day and hunt demon beasts at night, and it won't be long before the mana can be improved to a realm!"
Black Feather reached out and twisted a leaf beside him that was entwined with a dark aura, and the leaf was already showing signs of decay.
"Your enchantment isn't very good, you can't resist attacks of this level, and you have to hurry up and cultivate. ”
Ling Xiao rolled his eyes with tears and continued to collapse to the ground.
"Don't take me with you anymore......"
The dark forces are banned and excluded on the continent because of the devastating effects they have on their surroundings. Assuming that the move that Black Feather used just now, if there was no barrier to block it, a large area of the forest would be infected by the dark aura and quickly wither and rot.
"You're too wasteful, that's all for today's cultivation!"
Hei Yu looked at Ling Xiao who collapsed to the ground and said with tears. He stopped his waist and picked up Ling Xiaotear from the ground and carried it on his shoulder, like carrying a sack. Spread his wings again and fly back to the Holy City.
It was late at night, and Black Feather landed on the spire of the Holy City Magic Academy building, and after landing smoothly, he put down Ling Xiao's tears and retracted his wings.
The academy was silent, the dormitory lights were dark, and the playground was empty. In the distance, I saw that the lights in the dean's room on the top floor were still on.
"Isn't Dean Yunlan asleep...... Hei Yu thought to himself, "Maybe I'm still working, I heard that Dean is very serious and responsible for his students, it seems to be true." ”
He reminded Ling Xiao tears:
"Let's go to the Twilight Forest secretly, don't let the dean and the others find out, or I'm afraid I'll be expelled." ”
"Maybe it will hurt me again!"
Ling Xiaotear's physical strength had recovered most of it, and she patted the dust on her body.
"We're on a thief ship now. Black Feather smiled slyly.
Ling Xiao was dizzy in tears, "It's really scared to death, that big snake is not a demon beast that can be seen in ordinary forests at all, you really plan to cultivate like this all the time......"
"Can't you trust my strength?"
She thought back to the black feather who had just fought the great snake: her eyes were red, her body was full of unfamiliar dark aura, and there was a sneer on her lips that enjoyed the battle. It's very different from what he usually looks like. "Maybe that's the real him. Ling Xiao thought to herself.
"Can you tell me in advance before you use any move......s? What's that?"
"Oh, this. Black Feather raised his right hand, "I have ten seals on my body, and each time I unlock one seal, my strength will increase by one stage. In the past, he was too young to even open a seal, but now he can only lift a seal. Until all these seals are opened, I will be able to regain my original power. ”
"Then what else are you cultivating, directly break all the seals, and reach the level of the Holy Demon Master in one step!"
Hei Yu tapped on Ling Xiao's tearful head, "It's not that easy to ......"
"I won't unlock other seals in advance unless I have to, and if I open them early, the load that will exceed my ability will cause serious damage to my body. In the light case, it is a loss of consciousness and a violent outburst, and in the heavy case, the skin and flesh are opened, and the body may explode and die. ”
"That's ......"
Ling Xiao tearfully broke his palm, wanting to see what was going on, but as soon as she put her face up, Hei Yu withdrew her hand.
This birthmark seems to be a source of strength for him, or it may have something to do with the mystery of his origins, which he doesn't want outsiders to see.
"What, the light is too dim to see clearly......"
The two of them walked down the slope of the roof, jumping over the roofs and balconies one by one, and their movements were as silent as cats.
"I've never heard you mention your life experience, I only know that the city lord of Chiyan is your father-in-law, and Yi Xin is your brother, how did you get to the city lord's house?"
Ling Xiao asked cautiously, trying to follow the footsteps of Black Feather's dexterity. The night breeze ruffled her long hair, like a small net spread out, always blurring her vision, so that she could not see the back of the black feather in front of her.
When it came to his life experience, Hei Yu was silent again, and his back was cold.
"Hey, you don't talk at the mention of this. ”
In fact, he doesn't know his life experience. Memories before the age of 8 were dark, and when he was 8 years old, he was taken out of the institute by his stepfather.
The thought of this made his mind explode, and several images flashed quickly before his eyes: in the pale light, some researchers in white coats and needles in their hands slowly approached him, with malicious grins, and each with the same scorpion tattoo on their face. As a young man, he struggled desperately under the chains, his eyes wide in horror and his breathing becoming more and more rapid.
He pressed his forehead to calm his emotions, and the images dissipated. His feet had landed on the flat ground, and there was nothing but darkness and silence around him.
