Chapter 35: The Night Demon
I don't know how long I walked, Bai Dongqing turned around and found that he was far away from the area of the dead wood forest, so he slowed down. I don't know what kind of creature is the thing with wings on its back, and it is not a long-term solution to walk aimlessly at the moment, the time of the polar trial is as long as a month, and the current priority can only find Li Erguang to make plans.
After a short rest, he was about to set off immediately, when several figures swept by at dusk. Bai Dongqing frowned slightly, and said in his heart that this sword was repaired and he didn't know what to do, so he chased after it relentlessly, and without saying a word, he took out the green ruler and slashed it back.
"Senior brother, stop. ”
The person who spoke was a woman. Bai Dongqing retracted the green ruler strongly, stared at the few people who caught up with him with his eyes vigilantly, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
The person who is the leader, judging by his dress, should be an outer disciple of the Taoist sect. Bai Dongqing saw that there was no malicious intent, so he took back the green ruler.
Na Kun Dao then said: "Dare to ask Senior Brother Bai Dongqing?"
"You know me?"
Behind Kun Dao, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked out, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Kun Dao, which should be a brother and sister relationship. "Senior Brother Bai's name is thunderous in the outer gate. The young man paused for a moment and then continued: "I didn't expect to meet Senior Brother Bai here, it is really a blessing for a few of us. Let me introduce myself, my name is Zhao Wudao, and this is my sister Zhao Yazhi. Since we met, it is better to go together, and it is better to have a response. ”
Bai Dongqing's heart moved slightly, which reminded him of Zao Wou-Ki in the Boundary City, the names of the two were only one word apart, but their appearances were very different, and they should have nothing to do with Zao Wou-ki, it should be just a coincidence.
It is also because of the name Zhao Wudao that Bai Dongqing has a good impression. When he hugged his fist, he said, "That's fine." ”
A few people chose a direction and continued to move on.
On the way, we exchanged ideas from time to time.
"I don't know how many friends who have seen me, they are sword cultivators, and they are fat. Bai Dongqing asked.
Zhao Wudao smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then responded: "Don't hide it from Brother Bai, I have just met a few people, and I haven't met anyone else before." ”
Bai Dongqing didn't expect a few people to know Li Erguang's clues, and was now considering whether to tell the matter of the humanoid demon. Zhao Yazhi spoke first, "Senior Brother Bai, there are many dangers in this polar region, and people are unpredictable, otherwise how about we form an alliance." This way we can also share what we know. ”
"Senior sister!" Zhao Wudao glared at Zhao Yazhi, quite reproachful.
Zhao Yazhi didn't think so, frowned, and said, "I believe in Senior Brother Bai's personality. ”
Zhao Wudao sighed, and then said: "It's okay, Brother Wei has also heard about Brother Bai's deeds, and knows that Brother Bai is a person worthy of deep friendship." Let's just tell Brother Bai what we have. ”
Zhao Yazhi got Zhao Wudao's permission and said happily: "Senior Brother Bai won't hide it from you, in fact, the situation in this polar trial, our family also knows some secrets through relationships. It is said that the polar trials are not only about staying alive until the end of a month, but there are also many unspoken rules that ordinary people simply don't know. It's up to us to figure it out, but from what we know, there is a private bat-like monster in the Polar Trials, which we call the Night Demon.
One of the secret rules of Polar Trials is to kill the Daredevils as much as possible. Only if you kill enough Daredevil will you be able to accumulate enough merit points to go back when the Polar Trials are over. ”
"Is that night demon a human monster with black wings on its back and horns on its head?" Bai Dongqing asked in a low voice with a grim expression.
Zhao Yazhi exclaimed, "Could it be that Senior Brother has seen it?"
Bai Dongqing nodded, and told all the things about the encounter with the night demon in the dead wood forest. After hearing this, several people suddenly came to their senses, and Zhao Wudao said even more excitedly: "It's really good to be like this, I didn't expect to be able to find the clues of the night demon just after coming here." ”
Bai Dongqing was puzzled, and then asked, "And what is that merit value?"
Zhao Yazhi's face was a little embarrassed, and it took a long time before she said, "Actually, I don't know much about this thing. I also heard from the elders of the family, they told me to kill as many night demons as possible and accumulate merit points, and they also said that merit points are the key to our return, if we wait for the end of the polar trial and fail to meet the standard, it is very likely that we will never go back. So, this merit value is really important. ”
Bai Dongqing nodded, but he really didn't expect that there were so many unknown secrets in this polar trial. This is also thanks to meeting the Zhao brothers and sisters, otherwise Bai Dongqing is likely to wait for the polar trial to end, and he doesn't know this rule.
At that moment, Bai Dongqing couldn't help but complain fiercely.
"That's right, Brother Bai. Can you take a few of us to the place where you met the night demon to find out?" Zhao Wudao proposed.
A few of them were able to share this secret without hesitation, Bai Dongqing naturally trusted a few people, so he nodded slightly and said, "Then naturally there is no problem, but how much do you know about this night demon?"
Several people looked at each other, obviously knowing about this night demon only from the family. Bai Dongqing saw that several people looked embarrassed, so he asked and answered: "I have had a short fight with this night demon, and its strength is not bad, besides, it can fly, and it is not easy to kill." ”
As soon as Zhao Yazhi was about to speak, she was stopped by Zhao Wudao's look. Bai Dongqing saw it in his eyes and did not speak. When they met, Bai Dongqing didn't expect a few people to be able to share it without reservation.
"Forget it, let's go over and have a look. Zhao Wudao put down the next sentence and took the lead in speeding up. A few people followed, and after a while, several figures came to the place where Bai Dongqing first met the night demon again.
Just as he was about to go deeper, a slight cry for help came.
Bai Dongqing listened with bated breath and found that not far away, a monk was leaning against a tree and was dying.
When Bai Dongqing took a closer look, his face suddenly changed. This monk came with the sword cultivator not long ago, and it was also this monk who opposed the crowd's encirclement and suppression of Bai Dongqing, but he didn't expect that he would be separated for such a while, and this person had already suffered a misfortune.
"Senior brother, come closer, I have a few words for you. ”
Bai Dongqing saw that this person was on the verge of dying, so he lowered his guard and leaned over. The monk said with difficulty: "Senior brother, Liu Chen wants to be unfavorable to you, and has already gone to unite with other fellow sects, you must be careful." I ......"
After finishing a sentence with difficulty, he was already out of breath, and his eyes were still staring at him, not blinking. In fact, he still hasn't said the last sentence, probably because he wants Bai Dongqing to avenge him.
Bai Dongqing sighed, closed the monk's eyelids, and then said silently: "Don't worry, I will make Liu Chen pay a heavy price, you can go with peace of mind." ”
Needless to say, Bai Dongqing also knew that this Liu Chen must be the previous sword cultivator. Originally, Bai Dongqing was suspicious of it, but now after the monk's words, Bai Dongqing's idea has been confirmed.
It seems that these people should all be instructed by Dugu Xianyang.
Bai Dongqing buried the dead monk on the spot. Then he said to Zhao Wudao and the others behind him: "This is where the night demon went west, I have something important to deal with, let's leave it at that." ”
"Brother Bai, this..."Zhao Wudao wanted to speak again and again, because he also heard Liu Chen's name just now. A Liu Chen would not make Zhao Wudao timid, but it was Dugu Xianyang standing behind Liu Chen.
Just when Zhao Wudao was in a dilemma, Bai Dongqing's figure was already far away.
Zhao Wudao looked at Bai Dongqing's distant figure, but in the end he couldn't catch up. On the one hand, he admired Bai Dongqing's clear grievances and grudges, and his courage to value love and righteousness, but on the other hand, he didn't want to offend Dugu Xianyang because of Bai Dongqing.
Zhao Wudao sighed, and then said, "Let's go." ”
At that moment, the monk's words before he died made Bai Dongqing deeply aware of a problem. In this polar trial, names are really worthless.
Bai Dongqing chased in the direction of Liu Chen and the others this time, not on a whim, in order to avenge the dead monks. Instead, Bai Dongqing suddenly realized that Li Erguang was also a sword cultivator, and it was very likely that he would meet them, and Li Erguang's relationship with himself could be known with a little investigation.
Therefore, Bai Dongqing must find Liu Chen and the others as soon as possible, otherwise it is very likely that Li Erguang will be in danger.
