On this night, people all over the world were immersed in the joy of the festival, and the Thunder Light Regiment camp outside Sanchahe City was no exception.

The barracks were lit up, and the mercenaries sat on both sides of the long tables, gulping down wine and making loud noises.

Whole goats and calves are grilled over the fire, which is warm and fragrant.

However, compared to the bustle in the barracks, the large camp in the middle was cold and dark, and it was lonely.

"Uh, uh!"

The bright moonlight shone through the skylight, and a vague shadow could be seen struggling on the ground, with a low roar from time to time.

"Zizizi!"

In the darkness, a circular mark suddenly lit up, like red-hot charcoal, flickering and dimming, accompanied by the smell of burnt flesh.

"Ahhh

Every time the imprint is orange-red, the sound of pain will be superimposed several times and become heartbreaking.

"Big brother, why don't you drink two cups during the holiday today?"

"The brothers are waiting for you."

A sturdy figure walked into the military tent, looked around, and then found the regiment commander on the ground, and hurriedly ran over.

When he turned on the nightlight on the table, he saw that Tie Nuo's face was pale, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his hair and back were wet with sweat.

"That mark has flare up again?" Fire's eyes widened, and he was very concerned.

"I'm fine." Tieno struggled to sit up and waved his hand at him.

"Holy shit!" Looking at the eldest brother who was about to collapse, Huo Chew was angry, slammed his fist on the ground, gritted his teeth and scolded, "What a fucking ghost!" ”

"It's good to get past it." Tieno patted the torch on the shoulder and comforted.

The fire spike helped Tieno up to his chair and asked, "Have you been having more frequent seizures lately?" ”

Tieno nodded. The mark on his body was the one left by the Gluttonous Monarch that day. As long as he is alive, he will be entangled until death, and he will never give up.

With each attack, the mark will heat up and burn the flesh. And his consciousness fell into boundless darkness, cold to the bone, as if a pair of eyes were staring at him in the depths of darkness. The terrifying aura is like an abyssal sea, bottomless.

Even if he is as tenacious as him, it is difficult to resist. Under the huge pressure, the spirit is like a taut silk thread, which will collapse and go crazy at any time.

He didn't know how long he could hold out, but if he lived, he would resist to the end until the moment the flame of life was extinguished.

It was precisely because of this mark that he who had already advanced to the Holy Realm did not dare to communicate with the undercurrent of time and space. Once communicated, he will be targeted. The other party will gain access to this world by devouring him. He would rather give up and become stronger than let the evil existence succeed.

"Is there no other way?" Huo Tsui clenched his fists, full of grief and indignation, "Can we just watch as a big living person is consumed alive!" ”

He felt sad in his heart, facing the existence in the undercurrent of time and space, how small they were.

"Don't worry, I won't die so easily." Tieno gripped Flame's shoulder hard, his gaze firmly on his old fellow.

"Otherwise, let's go to the White Tower Academy and find Ramsden, he is the guardian of humanity, he will definitely have a way." The fire spout was like grasping at a life-saving straw.

Tieno Wenwen smiled, shook his head and said, "We are not related to him, so there is no reason to trouble others." ”

"Moreover, the Great Sage is the Great Sage of the world, the guardian of all mankind, not the guardian of our small mercenary group. His time is far more precious than our lives. ”

"But......" Huo Tsui stopped talking.

"If you can solve it yourself, don't trouble others." Tieno got up and said, "Let's go, go drink, I haven't had a good drink with you this year." Then he walked out of the tent without looking back.

Looking at the broad shoulders that disappeared into the door curtain, the fire spit out a deep breath, got up, and shook his head and chased out.

"I'm going to drink you down today!"

"Hahaha, it's up to you? Let's go in the next life! ”

Just as the two men hooked their shoulders and provoked each other, in a place in the north of the Longshi Mountains, on the former battlefield, torches burned, illuminating the scorched earth with no grass.

A huge six-pointed star was painted on the ground, and a black-robed man stood in the middle, chanting words from his mouth.

"Powerful, proud, and invincible King of darkness, hear the call of your faithful servant."

"We have prepared a grand feast for you, with a head as a cup, blood as wine, bones as a plate, and flesh as a meal, and we look forward to your visit......"

In the midst of the chatter, a truck slowly backs away, raising the rear support, and the corpses in the compartment are dumped out, piling up in the middle of the six-pointed star.

It was all fresh corpses, and the blood was still warm and flowing everywhere.

They were young and old, men and women, with their eyes wide open, and they did not blink to death. A tribe of displaced people, all here.

"Young Master Qin, no, Young Master Qin!"

An old man stumbled over, threw himself in front of the pile of corpses, and kowtowed desperately, "Evil, evil!" ”

"Teacher, this is a necessary sacrifice." A young voice came from the black hood. The tone is gentle, but it can be heard in the ears, but it is creepy.

The old man was grief-stricken, trembling his hands, pointing at the young man, crying, "Qin Wu, Qin Wu, how did you become like this, these are all living people!" ”

"Teacher, you can't keep up with the times anymore." The voice in the hood was calm and indifferent, as if it had no feelings, "If you want to achieve great things, you have to make sacrifices." ”

"What are you sacrificing?" The old man said abruptly, "You are sacrificing other people's lives!" ”

"So what? As long as you can gain power, why not? ”

"They live in this world, and they suffer by sin." The young man folded his hands and proudly said to the moon, "They should thank me for making their rotten lives worthwhile." ”

His voice was cold, as if he were giving alms from above.

"Qin Wu, you're crazy, you're really crazy!"

The old man opened his hands, looked up at the sky, and cried, "God, open your eyes! How did I teach such a beast-hearted student, what kind of evil did I do in my last life, you have to do this to me! ”

As he spoke, the old man's face was hideous, and he struggled to get up, he had lost his mind, and his hands grabbed the young man's neck indiscriminately.

"Poof!"

The tip of the knife peeked out from behind the old man, and it became more and more pale in the moonlight. The old man's eyes widened, and he slowly fell, not blinking.

"Teacher, rest in peace." The young man knelt down, smoothed the old man's eyes, and sighed, "Teacher, you don't know about my sacrifice......

"I sacrificed my time for the holidays and had a reunion dinner with my family. Isn't it enough to come here on Chinese New Year's Eve and come all the way? ”

"Teacher, I'm not crazy, it's the world that's crazy."

"You always tell me that if you want to be a big man, you have to take the people of the world as your own responsibility."

"But if it's not mine, what's the point?"

"Why should I meddle with other people's business? Why should you care about the lives and deaths of others? ”

"If this world is not mine, it will be ruined, what does it have to do with me!"

The young man drew his sharp knife, wiped it on his clothes, and withdrew its scabbard. With a casual kick, he kicked the old man's body to the edge of the pile of corpses, and started talking again.

"O mighty, proud, and invincible King of darkness, hear the call of your faithful servant......"

Blood flowed into the grooves drawn on the ground, and a bloody six-pointed star pattern gradually formed.

The wind was blowing, the stars were dim, and the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds. The dark world seems to be draped in a deeper layer, becoming dark and deep.

Obscure whispers sounded in his ears, dense, far and near, as if he was in the depths of purgatory, and there were malicious eyes everywhere.

At the same time, Tino, who was drinking with his brothers, felt the mark grow hot. In a few breaths, it became unusually hot.

Under the pretext of relieving his hand, he got up and left the table, walked out of the barracks, and when he reached a place where no one was looking, he immediately accelerated and strode towards the outside of the camp.

"Zizizi!"

A large amount of white smoke came out of the mark, and the smell of burnt flesh came to my nose.

"Uh, uh!"

This time, the attack was more intense than any before, and the pain in the mark was so severe that it seemed to be about to be burned.

He gritted his teeth, and his body grew rapidly, turning into an iron giant, and striding wildly through the fields.

After running for kilometers in one go, Tieno fell headlong on the weeds, panting like a cow.

Looking back, there was only a spark left in the firelight of the Thunder Light Regiment's camp.

The burning of the imprint continued to intensify, as if it was about to come out of the body, but the consciousness was like falling into an ice cave, so cold that the teeth trembled, one cold and one hot, making people about to go crazy and collapse.

"Uh, uh!"

Tieno endured the sharp pain of the burning, stood up, and pulled out the battle dagger at his waist.

The shiny blade reflected a bearded and scumbag, tormented by illness and an inhuman-shaped face.

Only those eyes are still deep and bright, resolute and resolute!

In the boundless darkness and coldness, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly opened.

The terrifying aura is like the abyss and the sea, like the huge waves of the flood crashing against the rocks and gravel, the sea of knowledge is dark and gloomy, and the crystal wall of consciousness is crawling with cobweb cracks, and it has reached the verge of collapse.

"I'm not afraid of you."

"I was not afraid before, I am not afraid now, and I will not be afraid in the future!"

Tieno said in a deep voice, holding the dagger behind his back and slowly raising it.

"Shen Guangming, I did my best."

The scarlet eyes gradually enlarged, and the outline behind him became clearer and clearer.

"Roar!"

There was an earth-shattering roar from the void, as if the whole world was trembling.

The dark shadows on the ground grew larger and larger, and the tiny human beings were like ants under a boulder, watching the entire sky press down.

It's just that the waist of this ant is straight, and it stands up to the sky with its head up.

Under the moonlight, the phantom of the giant beast was thick and pitch black, gradually transforming into a physical entity. The wind rose suddenly, the grass and trees flew sideways, and the huge coercion was overwhelming.

Tie Nuo's muscles were full of anger, he looked up to the sky and roared, and his heart was resolute, and he stabbed himself in the chest.

He is the passage, cut off the passage, and the other party will have to roll back.

But at this moment, a crisp cry resounded through the sky.

The sound of gold and jade pierces the clouds and cracks the stone, like a sword piercing the sky, and the rainbow runs through the sun, invincible.

In the darkness, a little green light flew out, as small as the fire of a firefly, as fast as a meteor flying lightning. In an instant, he cut through the sky and pecked fiercely towards the huge pupils.

"Whew!"

Blood splattered from his eyes, and the Gluttonous Monarch seemed to have been greatly harmed, letting out a howl of pain.

It was furious, and its six arms flapped wildly. The fluorescent light was extremely nimble, flying up and down in an arc, deftly dodging all attacks, and pecking at the pupils again.

When I looked at it, it turned out to be a small bird with a whole body of turquoise.

After several successful attacks, the six palms of the giant beast slapped continuously, and the birds avoided one after another, but the slap of the giant beast was too big, and after all, it was weak and could not fly out of the palm.

"Smack!"

With both palms together, the fireflies are extinguished, and the world returns to darkness.

The beast roared, and the shadows on the ground rapidly expanded.

Tieno felt something in his heart, and looked at the giant beast phantom above.

Suddenly, a crisp cry resounded throughout the world.

Countless birds flew out of the place of the mark, and the sound of the waves rushed, and the flock of birds turned into a hurricane and swept towards the giant beast.

Divine Bird Qingluan.

Where there is darkness, there will be light.

Legend has it that it is the messenger of God, the predecessor of the phoenix, the sustenance of ideals, and the testimony of true love. The place where the bluebird flies is the land of hope, and those who see the bluebird will be happy.

There are countless dangers lurking in the undercurrents of time and space, but there are also warm and kind corners.

They wander in the cold darkness, searching for the light of the past, and the hero's twilight song is like a light in the night, attracting them to help.

In an instant, tens of thousands of blue birds pecked at the giant beast, and the blood flowers flew over, as dense as stars. The beast howled in pain and flapped wildly, but to no avail, like a black bear chased and bitten by a swarm of bees, screaming and screaming, and its voice became farther and farther away.

At the same time, in the mountains and forests thousands of kilometers away from here, a huge magic array appeared, and countless birds flew out, desperately pecking around the black-robed man.

"Ahhh

The black-robed man was pecked to the point that the cloth was sparse, covered in blood, and crawled with a roll, and fled in the wilderness.

When it was all over, the bluebird flew back into the sigil, its blood-red texture covered with a layer of cyan flowers.

The last bluebird rested on its broad shoulders to welcome the dawn and illuminate the earth.
