Chapter 62. sacrifice
It was noon, and the fiery sun hung high in the sky, and the golden sunlight sprinkled the earth, as if gilding the world with a layer of gold.
Everything seemed so peaceful, the tentacles of the shadows seemed to have shrunk into the darkness beyond the reach of ordinary people, and there were countless white stone-level and black-iron-level dimensional beasts living in the awakening space, but under the sweep of the shadow wave, these creatures seemed to have become extinct, and it was difficult to find their traces again.
The dense foliage obscured almost all the sunlight, but compared to the dark depths of the forest, it was still bright at the edge of the forest.
It can't be said to be the same as in the wilderness, but the darkness here is just ordinary shade, and the cold that spreads from the depths of the forest makes it not really hot, and even if the clothes are too thin, it can make people feel a little cold.
In the shadows under the tree, it can be clearly seen that a man and a woman are sitting side by side under the tree, and the girl is leaning on the boy's shoulder with her head slightly sideways, her eyes slightly closed.
The majestic breeze blew, and the girl opened her sleepy eyes, with a little sleepiness on her face, stretched her waist, and looked at everything around her in a daze.
"Awake?" Ning Xu seemed to sense the girl's movements, woke up from the meditative state, picked up the kettle on the side, and handed it to the girl, but his tone was faintly cold.
"Hmm, what's wrong with you? Are you now a legacy of your previous dreams? It looks like it feels inexplicably cold and said. ”
The girl took the kettle, there was still a little bit of temperature left on the kettle, it seemed to be covered by human hands, and after twisting the lid of the kettle, the soup inside still emitted a trace of heat.
The girl took a slight sip of the soup inside, and her eyes, which were still sleepy, instantly brightened, and she stared at Ning Xu with a judgmental gaze.
Ning Shen's soup entered her stomach, and she was a little more awake in the dark night, but it was just the abnormal behavior of the people around her, but it caught her attention, after all, Ning Xu before, cough.
"Well, that's not just an interrogation of your heart, it's me."
These words seemed to evoke some bad memories for Ning Xu, he didn't say anything, just left a perfunctory sentence, then half-squatted up, cautiously approached the bushes, and turned around to make a silent gesture towards the girl.
The atmosphere instantly became tense, Ning Xu stretched out his hand to push aside a bush of dense bushes, his eyes pressed forward, and his eyes looked through the crack towards the camp in the distance.
"Fire Phoenix, Ice Phoenix."
It was already noon, but in the camp, there was not a trace of cooking smoke wafting, so many people, and after a night's march, it was definitely not enough to eat only dry food, not burying the pot to cook, eating some hot meals and hot dishes, it was very annoying to recover the lost physical strength.
If this is just concerned, there should be no one in the camp in front of him, but Ning Xu doesn't think so, he stares at the camp in front of him, and the corners of his mouth hook up a sneer.
"False and real, real and false, this is a trick to increase troops and reduce the stove, and this kind of means dare to be put in front of me?"
Ning Xu sneered a few times, a little spiritual power condensed at his fingertips, and as soon as he pointed out, the spiritual power contained in his fingertips instantly turned into spiritual power fluctuations and spread in the direction of the camp.
"Sure enough, it's still in the camp! Is this trying to waste time with me? Well, the last thing we lack is time, see who can spend whom! ”
Ning Xu confidently closed the bushes, took out a piece of dry food and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it slowly and methodically, but there was a little confusion in his heart.
As soon as he thought of everything that happened last night, Ning Xu couldn't help but sigh slightly, and a little confusion appeared in his originally unwavering eyes.
Recalling everything in the dream, Ning Xu's facial expression suddenly distorted, becoming extremely hideous and terrifying, and his mouth kept letting out meaningless roars, as if he was venting some pain.
The dark night on the side did not find that Ning Xu was wrong, the time of squatting was extremely boring, coupled with the fact that there was too much medicinal power left in her body, if she did not refine it in time, it would become a hidden danger, and at this time, she had already fallen into a state of meditation.
Time goes back to midnight.
The night was dark, the wind was high, the roar of the night demon in the jungle came and went, the swishing wind blew in the jungle, and everything exuded a terrifying atmosphere.
In the shadows on the side of the road, there seems to be a demon that devours people's lives, as if people will be devoured by them if they don't pay attention.
In the shadows in the distance, the weary crowd squirmed, lonely and silent, everyone numb, expressionless, like a dead corpse, constantly moving their legs.
Ning Xu, who was carrying the dark night on his back, was far behind the crowd, unhurried, but always biting at the back of the crowd, like a small tail that could not be shaken off.
The speed of the crowd was very slow, so slow that it couldn't compare to Ning Xu's own speed, even if he had the dark night on his back, he could easily catch up with this group of people.
Obviously, there are many humans in the crowd who have not yet awakened, and these people are far behind the professionals in terms of physical fitness, which seriously slows down the speed of the collective.
It stands to reason that so many humans should cause a large number of night demons to hunt and hunt, but until now, as far as Ning Xu has seen, there are only a dozen ordinary night demons in total, and only one or two ordinary night demons appear at a time, and it is impossible to break through the defense of a group of black iron level professions at all.
In other words, the secret method mentioned by "Wu Yuan" before exists, if it weren't for this, this group of people who escaped in the dark would have already been torn to pieces by the night demon group.
The crowd walked out of the distance intermittently, it was already far away from the wilderness where they had set out, and even Ning Xu could already see the edge of the forest from a distance.
The crowd walked out of the forest, and the bright moon hanging high in the sky shed a cold light, and it was a whole grassland in front of them!
Seeing the crowd in the wilderness, as if a hungry man had been hungry for several days, suddenly saw the sumptuous feast, the group of expressionless people, like dead corpses, their eyes instantly burst with hope, and they rushed into the wilderness.
Ning Xu frowned, the actions of this group of people were too abnormal, after the previous defensive battle in the safe zone, this group of people even dared to camp in the wilderness! This kind of place without any strategic detours, once surrounded by the night demon horde, no matter how many people have to die! Even if that "Wu Yuan" is the incarnation of the person behind him, isn't he afraid of being exposed if he does this?
You know, even walking in the jungle will come across a few ordinary night demons, let alone stationed in the wilderness, at that time, the aroma of human flesh and blood is like a light in the night, which will attract the night demons in a steady stream.
Ning Xu didn't say anything, let alone try to remind him, even if it is the legendary deduction of the heavenly machine, it needs enough clues, if there are no clues, it is not called deduction, that thing is called divination, it is called prophecy.
And all the abnormalities shown by this group of people will become the basis of his reasoning, and the more abnormalities there are, the more information that can be deduced!
Even if it is a quasi-professional at the Hu subordinate level, in terms of physical fitness alone, it is much stronger than the vast majority of ordinary people, so to speak, the Hu Cong level strong is the peak of the physical fitness of ordinary human beings.
With this group of would-be professionals and a group of Black Iron Professionals using their full strength, setting up a temporary camp can be said to be a breeze.
When the last person finished the work in hand, everyone gathered around "Wu Yuan" and sat in a circle around him.
It's just weird that everyone has their heads down, their hands crossed and interlocked, and they put them on their chests, as if they are silently praying and chanting something.
"Wu Yuan" stood in the center of the crowd, leaned down, reached out and picked up a handful of soil, and stared at the soil in his hand with bright eyes, as if he was staring at some peerless treasure.
As if they were being pulled, everyone's eyes hit the large handful of dirt in the hand of "Wu Yuan", and their eyes showed fanaticism, as if the believers had seen a divine object that spread God's will.
"Ladies and gentlemen, offer your blood, it will deceive the perception of the night demons, and it will help us to avoid calamity, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and a blood for a blood!"
"Wu Yuan" held the clay that he regarded as sacred, his eyes were full of enthusiasm and kept shouting, the crowd around him seemed to be infected by this emotion, his crossed hands were released, and they all stretched out to the top of their heads, making a surrender form, and shouting loudly.
"Blood for blood, blood for blood, my Lord came and cast out evil."
Bright red blood droplets poured out from everyone's eyebrows, with a little luster, and the blood droplets seemed to be pulled by something, and slowly flew towards the dirt held by "Wu Yuan".
Drops of blood dripped into the soil, and the originally ordinary soil was also dyed with a strange blood-colored light, and the blood color became more and more abundant, and gradually, a strange energy fluctuation came out of it.
Seeing that the soil had absorbed all the blood, a strange look appeared on Wu Yuan's face, and his smile became more and more crazy and distorted, and he kept chanting towards the soil, reading a spell that was not at all a language already on earth.
But the incantation fell on the ears of the surrounding crowd, as if it was some kind of guidance, teaching, and caused a group of people to bow down to the dirt and perform the great bow of the five bodies to the ground.
Although there was no spiritual power attached to the voice of "Wu Yuan", the beautiful sound seemed to sound in Ning Xu's ears, as if there were countless demons roaring, countless ghosts neighing, full of fanatical sounds, it seemed that every time it sounded, it would arouse the most primitive desires in people's hearts.
Although Ning Xu's current state, whether it is desire or emotion, is quite indifferent, but this voice makes him feel extremely painful.
"Despicable human beings, submit to this king, lowly ants, it is your supreme glory to let this king use your body, quickly, quickly submit to this king."
A distorted and crazy voice sounded in Ning Xu's ears, faintly containing wisps of power that affected people's hearts, and in a trance, it seemed as if a troll sitting on the throne was constantly scolding Ning Xu.
Ning Xu's eyes flashed, and a piece of firelight spread, and black and red magma continued to spread out from the huge cracks on the ground that were like an abyss, and bursts of hot gas spread between this heaven and earth.
In the center of the earth stood a high mountain, and the mountain was sunken into a large chunk, and the bottom of the mountain was carved into a huge rock lotus platform as if it had been transformed by some kind of power.
On the lotus platform, there is a statue sitting upright, just like the Buddha statue placed in the temple, but the corners of the Buddha's eyes are raised, destroying the original Buddha's sense of compassion and adding a bit of viciousness.
What's more different is that this so-called Buddha is not like an ordinary Buddha statue, which is plated with a layer of gold lacquer, but is covered with a layer of black, which makes this Buddha statue a little more evil.
This? It seems to have been seen somewhere. Ning Xu frowned, but soon, a name came to his heart.
Demon Buddha Bo Shun!
The rebuke of the Demon Buddha, the flow of magma, and the noisy roars of countless demons formed a symphony in Ning Xu's mind, which kept coming like a magic sound pouring into his brain, even if he covered his ears hard, he still couldn't stop the inflow of that sound.
The sound was extremely noisy and distorted, making people feel very painful when they heard it, as if it was an extreme torture of the eardrums, and that kind of sound was a kind of torture for human beings.
"Surrender? I'll let you go
Fuck the bullshit, get out of my head! No, no one can affect my consciousness! Get out of here! Get out of here! ”
The threats of the Demon Buddha Phantom Again and again not only did not make Ning Xu succumb, but even had the opposite effect, in the face of such coercion, Ning Xu's consciousness began to be a little confused, and a trace of scarlet spread over his eyes.
Ning Xu, who was in a state of madness, constantly exuded a kind of madness with a bloody aura on his body, and the madness rose into the sky like a pillar of smoke, and even the demon Buddha phantom was faintly affected and had a tendency to dissipate.
Ning Xu's consciousness was bathed in madness, and at the same time, he kept roaring and roaring in his heart, and in reality, his expression became extremely distorted and weird, like a devil crawling out of hell.
"You dare to resist me, you dare to resist me, you damn ant, damn it, you damn it, you damn it!"
The owner of that voice seemed to be offended, and roared more and more frantically, and the more distorted sound continued to rush into Ning Xu's mind, and the enchanting power contained in it also became more distorted and tricky, and in the end, it even directly condensed an illusion, which slowly unfolded in front of Ning Xu's eyes.
In the illusion, the eyes of the Demon Buddha became deeper and deeper, and the dark black flames like the void slowly burned on the Demon Buddha's body, exuding a wave of destructive power.
Immediately after, on the towering lotus platform, the Demon Buddha raised his palm, and black flames were still burning on his palm, and the flames were filled with bursts of blasphemy and depravity.
The Demon Buddha stood up from the lotus platform suddenly, his hand clenched into a fist, and he was about to smash it down, and the target of that fist was Ning Xu, who was constantly roaring at the Demon Buddha.
It was not very clear from a distance, when the fist was wrapped in gusts of wind and howling, Ning Xu could clearly see the black-red magma flowing on the fist, and the reason why it seemed black from a distance was that after most of the magma solidified, it formed one piece after another and cemented on the fist of the Demon Buddha
In the red lava, there are countless bones buried, and the skeletons with strange postures are frozen in the lava, some are struggling, some are wailing, but all the skeletons make the lava giant fist look even more terrifying!
The ghosts kept flowing in the lava, as if this was their natural hunting ground, and Ning Xu even saw some ghosts swimming out of the bottom of the lava and roaring at him.
Crimson magma flowed from above his fist, and drop after drop of lava fell on Ning Xu's side, instantly scorching and melting the black-red rocks around him, turning them into pools of magma amber, bringing a thick hot atmosphere.
Not far away, a drop of lava fell, and a huge mountain peak thousands of meters high was instantly burned through by the lava, and the cracks on the mountain were all over the place, and endless black-red magma gushed out from the cracks, and the entire mountain was filled with black-red light, like the scene of the end of the world.
"Roar!" Seeing the lava fist, Ning Xu's body burst out with a wail, and he became more and more crazy, as if he had seen something that made him extremely angry.
Scarlet instantly climbed up Ning Xu's pupils, and it was only a moment when they surged up, but this red instantly buried Ning Xu's pitch-black pupils together, and at this time, Ning Xu's blood-colored pupils looked very strange.
What's even more bereaving is that the hideousness and distortion on his face also disappeared at the same time, leaving only a trace of coldness in his eyes when he looked at the lava greatsword.
Ning Xu soared into the sky, endless flames pouring out of his body, condensing into a flame cloak that flowed down his shoulder.
He stretched out his finger and looked into the sky, and endless flames flowed out like a long river, turning into an incomparably brilliant phoenix feather, and slashing at the lava greatsword that hung high in the air.
Although all this is a collision at the level of consciousness, in reality, Ning Xu looked at the sky with his mouth open, and his eyes became a pair of blood pupils that were exactly the same as those in his consciousness.
I don't know when, the dark night slipped from his body, the girl's soft body hit the ground, as if awakened by pain, her beautiful eyes opened almost instantly, but in those eyes, there was also no look, just bursts of blue brilliance, as if it was a puppet being dominated.
It stands to reason that Ning Xu, who was caught in the struggle of consciousness, should not have noticed all this, but the moment the girl's eyes opened, his body trembled violently, and among the pale eyes, black pupils reappeared, but it was only for a moment, and he was covered with blood, his lips trembled a few times, as if he was muttering, but he soon fell back into the struggle of consciousness.
The Demon Buddha who stood up saw Ning Xu with an expressionless face, roared angrily and waved his fist, and blasted towards Ning Xu mercilessly.
Even if it is a god, in the face of the real demon Buddha body, it will be terrified, and even frightened by that coercion, and dare not move forward for half a minute.
But Ning Xu seemed to ignore all this, he wrapped his hands around the phoenix feather, and rushed towards the standing Demon Buddha regardless of it, as if a mosquito was not afraid of death and rushed towards the giant that could blow him to death with one breath!
The Demon Buddha's fist fell slowly, as if it could blast a world to pieces, and the Demon Buddha at this time was like a powerful god standing on the side of a planet, with his body standing up to the sky, and a planet was just a ball the size of a watermelon to him!
And the fist that shattered everything fell in the air, and Ning Xu was like an ant struggling in the sea of fire, waving a huge phoenix feather and showing off his might at the giant.
And the phoenix feather is huge, but in fact, compared to the fist, the phoenix feather can only be regarded as a small toothpick, but on top of this small toothpick, it exudes an aura that is not weaker than the demon Buddha!
"Whew!" Ning Xu roared angrily, and the huge feather slashed out diagonally, crossing a blood-colored arc of light, and the huge scar remained in the air forever.
And that fist seemed to be extremely powerful, with the power of destroying the world and opening the stars, but Ning Xu held the blood-colored demon sword in his hand, and slammed into the fist of the demon Buddha with a simple upward slash, forcing the fist to freeze in the sky.
Furious, the Demon Buddha raised his head to the sky and let out a roar, and a ring of black flames spread out from his body, and the black flames exuded a thick aura of destruction, as if they were about to incinerate everything to ashes
"Chirp!"
The cool sound of the phoenix bloomed between the heavens and the earth, the light blue frost continued to spread, and a phoenix with a whole body carved like ice crystals drilled out of the air, sprinkling bursts of coolness, completely freezing the surrounding magma.
The beautiful phoenix hung in the air, and the overwhelming coldness instantly froze the Demon Buddha's fist, but its pupils were empty, and it seemed to act only by instinct.
The coldness made Ning Xu quickly calm down, and the raging fire on his body wrapped his body, rushing into the sky, and in the midst of the flames, an equally beautiful, but condensed flame phoenix from the flames drilled out.
Clusters of flames not only flew out of the magma, but were absorbed into the body by the fire phoenix, making its power stronger and stronger.
Fire Phoenix, Ice Phoenix.
The two divine beasts that also possessed the power of Nirvana were suspended in the air, and the two powers of frost and flame did not conflict in the slightest, but were perfectly fused together, like a Tai Chi.
