Text Act II: The Six Paths of Demon Beings_Chapter 71: Bad news came
Dongfang Ziyan and the four of them finally passed the difficulty of the Demon Star Houqing and came to the river basin. Although Ziyan wanted to know what Rhine said to Houqing in the end, Rhine didn't speak, so he had to give up. After leaving the boundary gate, the snow-white world came into Ziyan's eyes, and the howling cold wind hit his face, which made him hurt, he didn't expect that the temperature in the river basin was much lower than the North Pole of the human world.
"This is the snowy region, the first place to enter the watershed." Rhine wrapped his collar and crouched down to grab a handful of snow.
Yan Wei's healing technique holy light was still faintly shining at Shangguan Yuanji's wound, but Yuanji's face was still expressionless, his sharp eyes had already discovered the strangeness on the snow, he glanced at Ziyan inadvertently, obviously Dongfang Ziyan and he had found it, and the spot of light on the snow not far away said everything.
"Signs of someone coming in the snow." Dongfang Ziyan's eyes glowed with purple light, mysterious and phantom.
"Although there is a lot of snow here, and the footprints will be buried quickly, there will always be traces." Shangguan Yuanji said silently, kicking away the snow with his foot, "The Hainan here has not completely dissipated, and the person should have just left." ”
Rhine stared at the handful of snow in his hand for a long time, "The time for the spiritual power to dissipate is about two hours, it seems that people have just walked for less than an hour, we must catch up with them before they reach the new prison." ”
"Time is urgent, let's go to the direction of the new prison as soon as possible." Yan Wei looked at them and said, the temperature here is very low, and no one can stand it if they stay for a long time.
"Yan Wei is right, no matter what, let's go first." Shangguan Yuan helped the Shadow Demon to bear the brunt of the advance.
Dongfang Ziyan was thoughtful, he asked Rhine as he walked, "Uncle, if we catch up with the law enforcers, can we defeat them?" Their strength shouldn't be below the Houqing, right? ”
Rhine smiled faintly, "This, you will know everything when you see them......" He approached Ziyan and whispered, "At present, it seems that it will be difficult for us to catch up with them." After saying this clueless sentence, Rhine kicked off the ground.
"Young Master! What do you want, keep up! Yan Wei floated in the air and waved back at him.
"Oh! Come to Vivi now! ”
Dongfang Ziyan followed, leaving a series of footprints on the snow when he stepped on the ground. The four of them had walked for less than a quarter of an hour, and the wind and snow smoothed out the footprints, as if no one had ever come. A white shadow suddenly stood up from under the snow, the man had been crawling here all along, but the white world had camouflaged it. It was a man dressed in a snow-white fur coat, tall and carrying a carved wooden cane, and a thick, gray beard as pale as the snowflakes stained on it.
"Rhine ...... Ruth? The man muttered, but reached out and patted his head again, "Looks like Gus, no...... What the hell is it......" He muttered while groping for something in the snow, and suddenly he grabbed something from the snow, and his two short hands pulled out hard, pulling out a black iron chain, and pulling hard, a large pile of snow was brought out, and under the continuous pulling, a heavy black iron cover was also pulled up, and a pitch-black hole appeared, and the iron chain was thrown aside, and he got into the slope under the snow layer in embarrassment, and his body was unable to exert his strength in the soft snow, It took a long time to come to the hole below, there was a hidden lid under the hole, he reached out and touched the handle on the lid, and lifted it up hard, he jumped in without saying a word, and the flap was immediately closed, and after a while, the black iron cover was pulled back under the iron chain, and the black iron cover on the upper layer was re-sealed, making a loud metal collision sound.
The wind and snow are howling, and the black iron cover is very dazzling embedded in the white snow layer, and gradually a thin layer of snow accumulates on it, and two words are clearly engraved on the black cover: New Prison.
Dongfang Ziyan couldn't open his eyes in the wind and snow, because the wind was too strong, and the temperature here was much lower than the temperature of the Arctic Continent and the Ice Land of the Demon Realm.
"Yuan Ji! Slow down! We can't keep up! Dongfang Ziyan shouted loudly with his hand blocking his eyes, his eyes were almost all white from the wind and snow, he couldn't see Shangguan Yuanji's figure, originally Yuanji was flying at a low altitude, he thought maybe Yuanji was walking too fast.
"Yan Wei! Uncle! Let's ......" Ziyan turned around and just called out to the two of them, but Yan Wei and Rhine in the back were gone. He hurriedly looked around, the boundless white felt a little desperate, and a sense of fear arose, "Weiwei!! Uncle!! Yuan disease!! ”
Only the sound of wind and snow responded to him, Rhine and Yan Wei were gone, and Dongfang Ziyan was alone in this snowy region, lost.
"Weiwei......" Dongfang Ziyan walked urgently, he didn't know the direction, but he still walked in a hurry. You must know that the scope of this snowy area is too large, and there is snow everywhere, and there is nothing but snow, so it is easy to get lost.
At this time, Dongfang Ziyan suddenly stopped, he squatted down, ready to calm down and think about it, the most important thing when he is in danger is to calm down, Dongfang Ziyan knows that the more impatient he is, the more he will get lost, and he will be killed by the fear in his heart in the end.
"In this kind of weather, I can survive for a maximum of twelve hours, and then I will either freeze to death or starve to death, but fortunately, there will be no beasts in this kind of ghost place." Ziyan felt the Quartet with his mind, and once there was danger approaching him, he would immediately feel it, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up. Dongfang Ziyan clasped his hands together and was just about to summon the Flame Demon Dragon Emperor, when he noticed that someone was approaching behind him, he flashed forward reflexively, but there was still a hard thing hitting the top of his head, like a wooden stick, he looked back violently in pain, but he didn't see anything.
He thought he was hallucinating, but just as he was about to continue walking, his heel was poked by something like a wooden stick, he looked down again, but still found nothing, the same way, he was just about to lift his foot again to leave, his back was poked again, this time his reaction was very fast, the moment his back was poked, he reached out and grabbed the stick, and by feeling that he Jude seemed to be a carved wood carving.
Dongfang Ziyan grabbed the carved wooden stick tightly, and looked back to see a short old man wearing a white animal skin coat who was stunned there.
"Oops, it's been discovered." The old man stared at Dongfang Ziyan with small round eyes, and took a few steps back.
"Huh?" Dongfang Ziyan looked at this person who was a head shorter than himself, and his face was shocked, "Who are you?" ”
I saw that the strange old man was about to run, but Dongfang Ziyan had already grabbed his animal skin coat with his right hand, this little old man was definitely not as strong as Dongfang Ziyan, and the old man struggled a few times and finally didn't escape. Dongfang Ziyan asked him, "Say!" Why are you hitting me?! ”
"Don't hit me! I'm an old man of the corpse demon in the snowy region, don't bully the elderly! The old man yelled at Ziyan.
"Old Man of the Corpse?!" Dongfang Ziyan's expression immediately became alert, "Then why did you hit me?" ”
The old man didn't speak, he turned his head and looked to the side.
Dongfang Ziyan became expressionless, and the Red Emperor Charm in his hand swiped on the neck of the corpse demon old man, "Say it or not!" ”
"Because you were with the wicked Rhine, I thought you were wicked." The old man spoke.
"How can Rhine be a wicked man?! If you talk nonsense, I'll kill you! Ziyan said.
"What prisoner in this new prison is not a wicked man? What's more, Rhine is the highest level repeat offender in the New Prison Tower of Babel, he is not a wicked person, who is a wicked person?! The old man said.
"Uncle Rhine killed so many people...... There's a reason for that. Ziyan said silently, letting go of the hand that was holding him.
"In short, there are no good people in this basin, even if Rhine is forced to kill people, he can't be considered a good person." The old man of the corpse demon put his hands behind his back. "Young man, you're here to save people, aren't you?"
"How do you know?" Dongfang Ziyan suddenly felt that this old man was still relatively kind and approachable.
"I can see it, and now I can see that you are not a wicked person." The old man said, "My eyes can see through the good and evil of all things. ”
"Can you see everything?" Dongfang Ziyan thought to himself, isn't that just the same as my Qiankun Eye?
"I know you have a pair of eyes, but unfortunately it's not hot enough." The old man of the corpse demon said happily.
Dongfang Ziyan immediately respected this little old man, and he understood that this old man, like his teacher Sereant Disch Dragon, had the ability to read the hearts of others. And this old man doesn't look like a watershed man either.
"I was separated from my companions...... I'm lost. Ziyan's body shrunk into a ball, trembling.
"I see where they are going, if you want to live, come with me." The old corpse demon turned around and lifted a manhole cover from the thick snow as if he was playing a trick, "If you want to live, come down!" ”
Dongfang Ziyan suddenly trembled with excitement, he pointed at the old man and the deep hole and opened his mouth wide, "You, you, you...... I know who you are...... You are the Lord of the Land!! ”
"Die! I'm an old man! ”
"What a nasty name! It's better to call the land lord, right?! ”
"I'm going to close it if I don't come!"
"Wait for me! Old-timer! ”
