Chapter 27: A Desperate Shot

The fire was extinguished.

Darkness reigned around the crowd.

"A few years ago, I rode a dark horse on an adventure near the Great Snow Mountain, and the cold and hunger gradually ate away at my sanity. The snow is vast, and it looks the same everywhere. Just as I rode around in a rage, the wind became stronger......"

The energetic sound of the district washing dust echoed in the dark night, and everyone listened quietly.

"There is also a strong wind in this peach blossom valley, but it can't be compared to that day at all. The wind seemed to be able to overturn me and the black horse at any time, and the reins had long since disappeared, and I clung to the black horse's shiny sideburns and lay on the horse's back, and the black horse struggled to plunge its legs into the snow, wailing in pain. ”

"Suddenly! The snow rolled down the mountain, and there was snow everywhere in front of and behind me, more and more, bigger and bigger. Eventually, bad weather caused an avalanche, and the surrounding area was like the end of the world, and the sound was deafening. After a long neigh, I was swept into the snow and lost consciousness. ”

In the darkness, the peach trees also seemed to be listening silently and making a rustling sound.

"I thought my adventurous career was over. But when I opened my eyes, I saw an incredible picture, surrounded by piles of bonfires, warm and bright. Between the campfires are silver plates filled with fruits and fragrant roasted meats, delicate copper kettles filled with wine, and many people sit around the food, singing and laughing. Seeing that I had woken up, a man who looked like a patriarch came over and motioned for me to go to the hot springs first, and two young men came to show me the way, and I finally saw clearly that I was in a huge cave. Walking through the winding cavern, a clear pool of hot water appeared in front of me, with three springs bubbling with hot water. ”

The description of the dust washing in the district made several people in the cold and dark Peach Blossom Valley yearn for it.

"The water was so warm, my frozen body seemed to be reawakened, immediately full of vitality, my consciousness gradually became clear, and the smell of food was very attractive. The two young men put a few clean clothes on a small blanket by the pool, and told me that the water had a special curative effect, and that my horse was fine, and let me soak in peace and go to their dinner party. When I changed my clothes and sat down by the campfire again, I enjoyed the most fabulous dinner yet. I don't know how the meat is grilled, but it's delicious, and the wine is even better, with the smell of spring flowers. The patriarch told me that this is a cave inside the Daisetsuzan Mountains, where they have lived for generations. The hot spring I just soaked in is a sacred spring that their family has always guarded, and it is said to be able to cure all kinds of diseases. I lived with them for five days before leaving, and it was a very happy day of my life. The cave is very huge, not only hot springs, but also a vast lake like the sea, dense jungle, neat cultivated land, although in the cave, but I don't know why it seems to have day and night, everyone works and lives happily. ”

The night wind howled, and a few peach blossoms fell from the peach trees.

"To be honest, there was a moment when I really didn't want to leave, I wanted to live there forever. But after a few days, the blood of the adventurer in me boiled again, and one fine day I rode out of the cave on a black horse, and the patriarch gave me some gifts with enthusiasm. ”

Ou Xichen clenched the long knife in his hand and continued, "Later, I returned to the Great Snow Mountain several times, but the cave was never found again, as if it had evaporated from this world. Everything was like a dream, and as time passed, the memory gradually blurred. Sometimes, I wonder if it's just a dream. ”

When the beautiful story was finished, Amau lowered his head silently. Rey and Liu Min glanced at each other silently, not understanding why Xichen suddenly said these things.

"Let's go." Ou Xichen silently glanced at the person who fell to the ground for the last time.

The crowd shuttled through the dark night and the dense peach forest again.

Rey and Liu Min walked in front, their hands still glued together. Ah Mao walked in the middle, and Ou Xichen walked in the back.

"Those who live in caves are small in stature, but they are unusually agile." Ou Xichen's voice was low, but it came from behind him very clearly.

It dawned on Rey.

It turned out that the deceased was the one who lived in the cave.

In that beautiful paradise, do those who live happily by the miraculous holy spring also yearn for eternal life?

The wind was bitterly cold, stronger than before, and the beaded peach trees swayed in the wind, making a whimpering sound like crying.

A cold mountain wall appeared dimly in front of the vision, like a huge monster in the dark night.

Above this mountain wall, there is a huge cave. A few flashes of fire, a few wisps of green smoke were faintly emerging from the cave.

"This, this is ......" Rey excitedly stared at the fire in the cave in the distance.

"Hmm." Liu Min clenched Rey's small hand.

"So, that's the Dragon's Cave, right?" Ah Mao also came to Rey and Liu Min's side.

"You can't be wrong, we're finally here." Washing dust also stopped.

After a lot of hardship, the Dragon Cave is finally in front of you.

"Don't move!"

Just when everyone was excitedly preparing to rush to the side of the mountain wall in one go, Xichen suddenly stopped everyone.

"Look." The tip of the dusty knife pointed to the ground in front of him.

Between the crowd and the mountain wall, there is a distance of almost ten zhang.

The ground is no different from the land under the peach forest behind it, but the color is slightly lighter, and there is not a single peach tree, which looks empty.

Not only was it empty, but it was also unusually clean, not a single grass, not a single flower, not a single peach tree, not a single peach blossom, and the whole ground was like a clean gray stone.

"Don't you think the ground up ahead is weird?" Ou Xichen said.

"Why don't you give it a try." Rey lifted a foot to step on the gray ground in front of him.

"Be careful." Liu Min frowned, very worried.

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the peach forest behind him!

The peach blossom petals flew one after another, and when they fell to the ground, they seemed to have been sucked dry of all the essence of life, turning dead black.

Not only the peach blossoms, but even the entire peach tree withered.

"Kill you, kill you......"

Han Fatzi stretched out a hand forward like a zombie and emerged from between the two withered peach trees!

"Everyone, be careful!" Ou Xichen held a long knife in his hand to protect everyone behind him.

Han Fatzi, who was covered in a faint black gas, slowly approached everyone, his eyes were scarlet.

"Poof."

The tip of the long knife was inserted into Han Fatzi's body, like a ball of black cotton.

"Kill you ......"

Dark red blood flowed out of the blade, and the blade became even darker, but Han Fatzi still took a step forward as if he had not been harmed.

The body was about to approach the hilt, the tip of the knife had already penetrated the back, and the hand that reached forward was about to touch the head of the dust.

"Run." Ah Mao rushed over and pulled out the handle of the knife with Xichen.

However, the knife was like being sucked by Han Fatzi's body, and it couldn't be pulled out.

"Let it go!" Rey and Liu Min shouted anxiously at the same time.

Ou Xichen suddenly shouted, held the knife in his left hand, and struck at Han Fatzi's body with his right palm.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, Han Fatzi's short and fat body stepped back, a full five or six steps back.

The knife was finally drawn.

"Ahh

Ou Xichen touched the ground with a single knife and let out a miserable scream, and the right palm that he hit had turned black and gray, as if it was rotten.

"Kill you, kill you......"

Han Fatzi, who was repulsed, seemed to have no pain nerves, and walked towards everyone with slow steps again.

"Big brother, let's go." Ah Mao supported the dust with one hand and retreated towards the edge of the gray ground.

"What to do, what to do?" Liu Min was frightened and overwhelmed.

Everyone had retreated to the edge of the gray earth, and one step further would set foot on the eerie ground.

Han Fatty's aggressive body is about to attack!

"No matter!"

Rey was about to step on the ground with one foot.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

Suddenly, three sounds piercing the night sky came from behind him.

"Smack, smack."

Under the effect of Ou Xichen wielding the long knife with all his strength, the two short knives that were speeding changed direction and crashed into the gray ground behind him......

"Poof."

The last short knife pierced Han Fatzi's back deeply.

Just when everyone was stunned, Zhou Gang, who was only one one-eyed, slowly walked out of the peach forest behind him with a cold smile.

Han Fatzi, who was hit by the flying knife, suddenly stopped advancing, and he stood motionless.

The wind howled and galloped across the empty grey ground ahead.

"Boom! Boom! ”

The two throwing knives that changed direction instantly burrowed into the gray ground and disappeared, as if they had not encountered any resistance.

The gray ground was like a few soft, fluttering clouds, and it could not bear any weight.

Rey's forward foot stopped in the air.

What to do? What to do?

There is really a moat in front and a chasing soldier in the back.

If you had taken a step in a hurry just now, then you have disappeared without a trace like a flying knife.

No wonder the grey ground is so clean.

It's like a big gray cloud covering the abyss!

"Kill you...... Kill you ......"

Han Fatzi, who paused for a moment, did not look back, but re-uttered a demonic voice and walked towards everyone.

"Don't rush forward, let's find a way to return to the peach forest behind you." Xichen pinned his injured palm behind him, and held the long knife in one hand, blocking everyone again.

Zhou Gang seemed to be stunned by Han Fatzi's abnormal behavior, standing between the two withered peach trees, staring at the people in front of him with one eye.

"Big brother...... I'm here to help......" Ah Mao's voice trembled, and he took out a knife from the package that looked like a small knife for cutting herbs, and stood beside Wash Dust.

Rey and Liu Min were protected by the two.

"Rey, we, we can't ...... like this"

Seeing that Liu Min beside him was also trembling and wanted to get out of the protective circle, Rey clenched the short sword in his hand.

CD time, right?

Please!

Let me be the main character!
