Chapter 132: Mounts
"I'm tired and want to sleep for a while." Li Hong shrank inside, curled up, bowed like a cat.
Ding Ruoyu hurriedly pressed his shoulder and shook it, "Don't be in a hurry to sleep, I have something to ask you." ”
Li Hong barely got up and looked at her listlessly against the cabinet.
"When I came back, I was in a fantasy and even the time was out of order......," she recounted, recounting her nighttime experience.
Li Hong's half-squinted eyes gradually widened, and a black gas suddenly emerged from his palm, slapping directly on the ground, sensing something.
"Impossible, he was already ...... five hundred years ago" He withdrew his hand and beckoned to Ding Ruoyu, "You come here." ”
The girl in white was stunned and moved closer to him.
Before he could sit down, his arm was grabbed, and he fell into his arms.
Ding Ruoyu's face was embarrassed, he wanted to say something but didn't know where to speak, first the whole person was fixed by him, and then there was an extra palm on his neck, and the other party's face was getting closer and closer.
"This ...... Isn't it a bit sudden? She muttered quietly.
"Don't move." Li Hong looked at her expressionlessly, her black and white eyes were so clear that there was no trace of unusual emotion.
His hands unconsciously grabbed the placket of his clothes, and in the next moment, the two of them met their eyebrows, and a scorching air stream pierced through the barrier that enveloped her divine sense, probing the truth of what happened to her at night.
Dizzy and chaotic, accompanied by a tingling sensation of repulsion in the airflow, I don't know how long it took to fade away, and Ding Ruoyu finally relieved himself.
The other party didn't let go, half of his body was supported by her strength, motionless, and after a while, there was a slight sound of breathing in his ears.
Ding Ruoyu was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand and shook him, but there was no movement, and suddenly his head tilted away from Hong and leaned on her shoulder, and the weight of his upper body was all on her.
"I slept so fast and didn't answer my questions!" Ding Ruoyu was about to push him to the ground roughly, but he smelled the faint fishy smell on his body.
Slightly sweet with a rusty taste, it's blood......
She hurriedly helped him to the closet, and blood slowly gushed from his half-open mouth, dripping down the corners of his mouth and chin and onto the sleeves of her snow-white coat.
Seeing that the blood was flowing more and more, she hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped it, but it was quickly soaked. Li Hong suddenly pushed her away, coughed heavily, and spat out a piece of iron half a finger long, like a small blade that had been broken.
Ding Ruoyu picked it up with a handkerchief and handed it over.
"It was put on a ......" black smoke burst out of Lihong's body, wiped his face, and took out a knife from the cabinet.
Seeing that he pushed the door open with a knife, Ding Ruoyu followed.
"What are you going to do?" She followed, went out of the building and the flower street, crossed the small bridge, and headed to the suburbs.
Li Hong walked quickly, dispersed the demonic qi, and the aura of the whole person became extremely eerie, so that the pedestrians passing by around him did not dare to look up at him, and they all cast their eyes on the girl who was running all the way behind.
It was only at this time that Ding Ruoyu realized that he had gone in the direction he had been chasing Duan Hongzhu before.
Outside a leafy forest, the two stopped. On the muddy ground, there are faint half uncleaned hoof prints.
The yellow leaf pieces drifted down with the wind, swirling in one place and bending at another angle. Li Hong pulled Ding Ruoyu behind him and grabbed the space that looked indistinguishable from usual.
Ripples appeared in mid-air, like the surface of the water being stirred, and there was a burning crackling sound, and sparks splashed everywhere, and black smoke rose outward.
There was a smell of burning, and a crack was torn open in mid-air. The crack soon expanded and widened, shattering in the shape of a spider's web, burning and falling to the ground to create charred fire pits.
The barrier vanished, and wisps of purple smoke erupted from the hidden space, smashing towards them.
With a loud bang, a wall of fire rose on the ground, dissolving and devouring the purple smoke and demonic qi together, revealing a man and a horse that had fallen in the forest behind.
Ding Ruoyu had already bypassed Lihong and ran forward alone.
"Set up defenses." Li Hong said behind her, wary of the demonic qi that might continue to attack at any time.
The wind shield rose and covered the two of them behind, Ding Ruoyu walked to Duan Hongzhu, who had been lying on the ground for an unknown amount of time, and reached out to probe her snort.
The breathing was normal, but it was as if he had fallen into a dream that he couldn't wake up, and the horses next to him had been burned by the demonic fire and had lost their breath.
"Carry her on your back and don't wake her up in advance." Li Hong turned a sharp knife in his hand, cut a bloody cut on the unburned horse's leg, stood up and whispered.
Ding Ruoyu picked up Duan Hongzhu, glanced at him uneasily, didn't say anything more, turned his head and left.
In the mud, a trace of light purple gas came out, silently wrapping around her ankles.
After a few steps, the movement became more and more difficult, as if it was being pulled tightly by something. Ding Ruoyu looked down and swung out a golden ray, cutting off the demonic qi. There was a strange sound behind her, and she looked back to see that a small piece of forest had been destroyed by the demonic fire, and it was scorched everywhere, as if all life had been drained in an instant.
Lihong held on to a black dead tree, and the hand holding the knife was bloody, but he couldn't find his opponent.
The wind suddenly rose, and a cloud of mist scattered and fluttered in all directions, leaving three long paw prints on his back.
Demonic fire erupted from the scar, and he turned around, his hand that had turned into a demon's claw blocked in front of him, and the knife in his other hand scraped a gap in the mist from the bottom up.
He got up and peeked out of the opening, and the black smoke of the flames spread out in all directions, burning the mist up and down, and letting out a ghostly whimper.
Ding Ruoyu put down the woman in red on his back and rushed to him, ignoring the scorching demonic fire, pulling his sleeve and asking how the injury was.
"That beast is the mount of the First Monarch, and it can swallow poisonous gas and cause hallucinations. Step back and don't get too close. Li Hong tore a long strip of cloth from the hem of his shirt, wrapped it around his palm, held the knife and shook his wrist, and the sudden outbreak of demonic energy forced Ding Ruoyu to take several steps back.
Then, he rushed in again.
The fire with the black and purple demonic qi spread and spread, blazing hot, burning black and pressing in the air. In the scorched forest, the dark fog condensed into a hazy bear-headed human monster, waving its huge hands like a fan and pressing down heavily, and the accompanying impact blew all the broken branches and rubble around it into the distance.
In the dust and smoke, Li Hong passed through the smoky man-bear, desperately spreading circles around it at the risk of being scratched.
His speed was so fast that he could barely distinguish between the figure and the afterimage, and the black demonic qi blended with the man-bear, and then peeled off in an instant, splitting and disintegrating a part of the man-bear.
The separated mist exploded and disappeared in the formation, and the man-bear became smaller and smaller, and finally only a gray-black and cloudy ball was left suspended at half a human height.
Li Hong stopped his body and remained motionless, staring at the orb, and the fireworks on his body gradually turned into a strange silver-white, flashing with an incomparably holy light.
Without warning, the ball flew towards him, so fast that he almost had time to react. He folded his hands together, blocking the ball from shooting into his heart, and the black magic armor with his claws and hearts gradually cracked apart from the attack, and his metacarpal bones were knocked out and deformed.
But that's only the extent of it.
The ball was embedded in his palm and stopped spinning. Under the scorching of silver-white flames, it became docile and docile.
After a long time of incense, the gray-black mist compressed outside the sphere disappeared without a trace, leaving only a refined blood-red bead.
The cold and cold atmosphere in the small forest was also gone, and only the charred branches and loess remained. Ding Ruoyu was liberated from the suppressed feeling of suffocation, smoothed his breath, and looked at Lihong, who was laboriously pulling the beads out of his palm.
The scales on his hands were gone, and the already injured hands were even more bloody and scarlet, making people feel pain when they looked at them.
The beads were so deep that they almost sank into the flesh. Li Hong reluctantly pulled out a sharp branch and stabbed it down from the back of his intact hand before it fell off and fell to the ground.
Picking up the beads, he couldn't see anything on his face, and his bloodstained hand put on Ding Ruoyu's shoulder and said to her, "It's over." ”
The white clothes were stained red with blood, Ding Ruoyu raised his hand and sighed: "What a fierce battle." ”
"It's fine, minor injury." Li Hong actually laughed, raised the beads in his hand, pinched the fingertips and turned to the sun and said loudly, "It's just a beast, kill it." ”
He seemed to be speaking to someone hidden in the same space, and as soon as his voice fell into the forest, another gust of wind arose, but there was no movement.
Ding Ruoyu didn't want to stay here for a long time, so he turned around and picked up a red candle and returned the way he came.
"I'll come." Li Hong stepped forward and grabbed Duan Hongzhu with one arm, intending to help her over.
"No, you're hurt." Ding Ruoyu refused.
"Minor injuries." The other party said.
"Shut up!" Ding Ruoyu didn't know what was wrong with him, he yelled at him inexplicably, and felt that it was too much, so he blushed and lowered his head and hurried forward.
Li Hong hung expressionlessly behind her, closed his mouth and walked, bent down and pulled the hem of his clothes, and rewrapped the wounds on his hands.
It was nearly noon, and this strange threesome provoked passers-by to point out and discuss.
The strange demonic aura reappeared, which made everyone retreat, and also made them finally arrive at Caihua Building smoothly.
Duan Hongzhu was still asleep, his eyebrows were slightly constricted, and he didn't know what he encountered in his dream, and he couldn't find an exit between the sunken.
"Why can't a good beauty wake up?" Not only Ding Ruoyu, but Lou Xue, who had just heard the sound and rushed over, was also spinning anxiously in the wing.
"What should I do...... "She turned everyone's hearts upset.
Li Hong was the first to walk out, came to the porch, and leaned against the railing to look at the sky in a daze.
Ding Ruoyu also ran out, hesitantly approached, carefully tugged at his sleeve and said: "I had a bad temper before, and I yelled at you on the spur of the moment, don't take it to heart......"
"What are you talking about?" Li Hong glanced at her strangely, then looked at the sky and said, "Xiong Zhen appeared, it means ...... It's likely that Shijun is still alive, but I don't know where he is hiding and how he has come to be in the past five hundred years......"
He had been thinking about something else, and had not paid any attention to what she had done before.
"Then can Sister Hong come to her senses?" In that case, she didn't have to come to him so far and backward to ask for help.
"Yes, yes, but I'm still injured, I'll talk about it tomorrow." As if she had calculated, she stretched out two hands wrapped like zongzi in front of her eyes, and the smile on her face looked extremely bad at that moment.
Ding Ruoyu was choked and speechless.
