Volume 1 Sleep Chapter 4 The Forgotten Land

Chi Yu was like a dying man who had just been salvaged, drenched and thrown in the corner of the boat. His whole body was covered with bruises and bruises, and the slightest movement hurt hotly, but there was a faint feeling in the pain similar to the numbness and itching of a wound when it first healed and scabbed.

He tried to untie the rope that bound his body, but the soaked rope was heavy and tight, as if it were attached to the flesh, and it pulled in bursts of tearing pain.

His mouth "hissed" with cool air, and he inadvertently used too much strength, so he couldn't help but moan.

The black-robed demon spirit glanced at it and sneered, "You little bastard is quite clever,"

He put his hands behind his head and pillowed them, ready to rest, although it was interesting for this weak life to be gradually pulled into the Yellow Spring before his eyes, but only if he had a high interest in watching.

"Shut your mouth, make a little more noise and I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish!" the demon snapped warning.

Ji Yu immediately stopped what he was doing.

These ensuing dooms are secondary, but he has survived, and he must not be planted in such a small thing.

The tightly wrapped rope had been loosened so that it would not affect blood flow and breathing, and it didn't matter if he endured it for a while, and what Ji Yu was even more anxious about now was that he was clearly feeling the loss of body temperature.

There is still a second half of the night, how can you get through it so wet?

He couldn't help but curl up, holding his body in his hands, and kept shivering, and his consciousness became extremely heavy.

In the confusion, vague figures flashed in front of his eyes, and his ears were boiling, as if a group of people had gathered together and shouted something. It was only a moment of noise and noise, and then his vision turned into a large bright blank space, and a person was slowly walking towards him.

Ji Yu could clearly see his facial features, but he had the illusion of forgetting in an instant.

The man reached out to him, and he grabbed it with all his might.

The intoxicating temperature of the thick palm was like the warm sun of early spring, slowly melting Chi Yu's viscous and cold blood vessels, making his tense and rigid muscles and bones gradually stretch, and the vitality gradually dispersed into his limbs.

The man's lips opened and closed, as if he was talking, but Ji Yu couldn't hear the slightest sound.

He wanted to get closer, but the light in the white space suddenly burst into flames, and he couldn't open his eyes with a bright light, and he had to raise his hand to block it.

The light curtain faded after being at its peak, and Chi Yu opened his eyes.

The sky was clear.

"You're not dead!", the demon cried out in surprise.

He crouched to the side, a ghostly expression on his face. He had already confirmed that Chi Yu had lost signs of life, but the strange thing was that this young man's body was still like a living person, warm and soft, similar to a state of return that only an eight-star cultivator could perform.

In the few years that he had been hidden in the Tian Yuan Continent, the strangest thing he had seen and heard was nothing more than this. And when he was about to explore further, Chi Yu woke up by himself, and the majestic breath of life was even better than ordinary people.

An ordinary boy like this who had not been enlightened and condensed his qi sundial should have turned into a cold corpse last night.

"Really...... Peculiar!" the black-robed demon spirit was a little stunned.

He has no mercy for other people's lives, but unlike those who specialize in killing people for fun, he originally thought that Ji Yu was bound to die, and this painful process will become a great performance to relieve the loneliness of the journey.

It's just that Ji Yu's vitality is beyond his imagination.

The demon spirit squinted at Chi Yu, and began to have a new plan, and it was his life's pursuit that benefits were greater than everything.

"There's no movement here?" he stretched out his finger and tapped Chi Yu's chest.

Chi Yu's face turned pale, and he quickly covered his heart and groaned in pain.

"What a clumsy ......," the demon said scoffingly.

The illusion was recognized, and Chi Yu didn't dare to raise his head, and muttered, "No...... Don't kill me."

"Of course!" the wraith immediately responded.

has already gotten rid of the entanglement of the Yan master, so it doesn't matter whether the effect of the life-pulling insect is true or not, this kind of old relic may be like an expired laxative. And since the boy is alive and well, he can make up for some losses.

"Not only will I not kill you, but I will also take you to a good place!" the demon spirit had a glint in his eyes, but he quickly frowned again, took out the food from his black robe and threw it down, turned to the bow of the boat, and muttered with some resentment, "I really want to carve something on this beautiful face!"

Chi Yu was stunned for a while before he breathed a long sigh of relief, although he was still a little uneasy, but at least, he could survive.

The aimless drifting continued, and the demon spirit still treated Chi Yu with a blind attitude, only providing him with food and water at certain times, and the black robe was like a treasure bag hidden inside.

Three days later, the outline of the island finally appeared at the end of the sea level.

Approaching the port, the magnificent construction in front of him made Chi Yu dumbfounded.

The bay is divided into areas by large gray-and-white stone embankments, lined with containers, and further afield you can see a jumble of block buildings, and behind a low building is a towering wall, in which the towering buildings are faintly visible. The ships in the harbor are all ships that Chi Yu has never seen before, with a cold and calm atmosphere.

The wharf is bustling, the winch machines of the cranes are "clicking" and roaring, the tower cranes slowly waving their steel arms are dazzling, and the people on the terrace are busy back and forth. Next to a ship that had just been moored, the crew gathered on the platform to shout hard, a shirtless strong man in the middle of the crowd, was struggling to drag the anchor chain out of the deep sea, the huge anchor was finally pulled out of the sea, the onlookers immediately burst into thunderous cheers, and the strong man also proudly showed off his tendon meat.

Chi Yu and the demon spirit's boat slid slowly into the harbor, looking out of place among the behemoths that surrounded them, and soon became the focus of everyone.

There is no shortage of outsiders in this place, and the entire circular bund of the island is a carnival place for cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, but it maintains a tacit understanding of going with the flow, about plundering and making friends.

As soon as they climbed the stairs, the nearest bare-chested strong man walked over, followed by three or two crew members, and the rest of the people spread out carelessly, intentionally or unintentionally in the opposite sector.

"Hey friend, where did you come from? I have some good grain wine on the boat, would you like a glass?" "The opening line is like a reunion of old friends.

The black-robed demon spirit raised the brim of his hat to reveal his eyes, and looked directly at the strong man without hesitation: "It's really not good to be tossed by the storm all night, and I also want to drink a few cups to warm my body, but it's a pity that the adults in the blue ocean probably can't wait to receive the goods." ”

The smile on the strong man's face froze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. He glanced at Chi Yu behind the demon spirit, showed a sudden expression, and said, "It's really a good condition, it must be a big deal." ”

The demon spirit smiled: "It's hard to say, but I almost lost a small life and was burned to death by the pig who played with fire." ”

The crowd around them booed and began to disperse in earnest.

The shirtless man gave a thumbs up, and his eyes were finally no longer wrapped in scheming. The people of the Bund are like this all year round, judging the situation is the skill of the family, and the hints in the demon spirit words are clear enough.

"If my brother is busy, I won't delay your time, when I have time, I will come to Sangang Python Street, and I will say that I am looking for Qiao Hu, and I will have a few drinks when the time comes. ”

"Okay, I'll come when I'm free!"

The result of greetings and politeness is often only in a thought.

The wraith put on his hood again, covered his face with disdain, and walked towards the settlement.

Ji Yu followed behind him unhurriedly and quietly slowed down.

"Help me! Who can save me! He's a bad guy!"

He suddenly shouted to distance himself as he held out his hands to those around him in a longing manner. From the endless sea to the crowded port docks, the long-dormant desire to survive bursts out at this moment.

The people around only paused, except for some who smiled and shook their heads, and more of them were instinctively surprised, just as numb and indifferent. The secret to surviving in such a place is often very simple to track down, and that is not to get into trouble.

A great fear and loss easily shredded a certain cognition in Chi Yu's heart, whether it was a gangster or a vitriolic demon, these darkness were just a corner, and it was his own bad luck when he ran into it, and in the environment he once relied on to survive, everyone was cute and gentle. The aunt of the street pancake will use the leftover ingredients to let the friends eat a full meal at dusk, and the old man in the alley will always bring a large handful of melons and fruits to eat, and move a rocking chair to doze off at the sunny alley, even they can't wake up laughing next to them......

But what kind of world is this place now?

Ji Yu froze in place, his mouth open at a loss.

The demon spirit didn't look back, and snorted coldly: "It's really stupid like a pig." ”

He still walked forward, not the slightest fear that the little thing that made people laugh out of his big teeth would take the opportunity to escape, in a sense, he was now the closest person to him!

Sure enough, he hadn't gone far before there was the sound of hurried footsteps behind him.

The main road of the neighborhood is far less atmospheric than the wharf, only five or six meters wide, and there are a series of winding alleys, which is even more messy and complicated.

Ji Yu had completely calmed down at the moment, the children in the orphanage were always more accepting of fate than ordinary people, and he looked at this novel place curiously. Completely different from expected, the streets were deserted, there were no merchants and vendors pushing carts and shouting, and there were no vendors who set up shacks on the spot.

The shops and houses on both sides are of different heights, but one thing in common is that the owners seem to like to hide in the shadows, either with closed doors or heavy curtains. Because of the abrupt high wall, the further you go down the street, the darker the light becomes, revealing a strange atmosphere.

The black-robed demon spirit drove lightly, led Chi Yu into an alley, and after seven turns and eights, he came to another street, and then there was a T-junction, but it was equivalent to reaching the end. Directly across the street was a suspension bridge, and six chains the thickness of an adult's arm were clasped straight into the snow-white wall. Although the city gate was wide open, it was guarded by soldiers in armor, and there were several figures carrying Fu Neng cannons walking back and forth on the wall, and the security was very tight.

The intersection on the left also has a checkpoint, but it is relatively simple. Two columns are connected by a telescopic iron fence, and a hollow "blue" character hangs in the curved frame at the top, and there is a small shed not far behind the fence, and four big men are playing cards around the table, and their voices are as loud as scolding the street.

Ji Yu only glanced at them and knew who they were.

As soon as the black-robed demon spirit approached him, the four big men stopped what they were doing and surrounded him arrogantly.

"Rawhide ......," one of the big men turned his head to muttered to his companion, then glared at him and shouted, "Stop!

"Business, of course. The black-robed demon spirit was not frightened by their posture at all, and pulled Chi Yu to him with a grin.

The big man smacked his lips, his eyes scraped on Chi Yu's body like a knife, and he was inevitably amazed.

The black-robed demon spirit silently stroked the fence, and then there was an extra silver coin on the iron bar, and it disappeared in an instant.

The corners of the big men's mouths suddenly changed arcs, the fence was pushed away with a squeak, and the left shoulder and right arm of the demon spirit were all hands, as if they had found their long-lost brother.

After passing the checkpoint, it is as if you have arrived in another urban area, the houses have become meticulously shaped, the criss-crossing roads are also rigorous and orderly, and the doors of shops and taverns are wide open and brightly lit.

The big men guarding the pass did not dare to leave their posts without permission, and several people blew it out and returned to their posts with satisfaction.

The demon spirit gathered his robe and smiled, these fools he could slap into mud with just one slap, but he couldn't be so arrogant, the owner of this territory was not something he could provoke, he could feel that the crisis hidden in the shadows was spying on him, and in the event of a riot, he was not very sure that he could get out of the way.

Void and Snake Rebellion was originally his forte, but as soon as he thought of the four copper coins, the black-robed demon spirit felt a pain in his flesh.

He immediately turned his head to look at Chi Yu, and the boy had turned into a stack of golden coins in his eyes.

"No, it's not enough...... the demon spirit touched his chin and muttered to himself, and suddenly dragged Chi Yu into the shop next to him.

He was busy with it, and he spent five more silver coins, and in a few moments, the two reappeared on the street.

Chi Yu was changed from head to head, except for some slight bruises and bruises on his face, he looked like a young man from a rich and noble family, and the black-robed demon spirit was like an accompanying servant.

"Hey, that's good!" After the blood dripped from his heart, the result was very satisfying, and the black-robed demon spirit couldn't help but sigh.

He never did a loss-making business, and he was thinking about how he would slaughter it later.
