The wind is howling.

In the roar of the surrounding spirit beasts, a person calmly landed on a rock not far away, his robe fluttering in the wind, and his eyes looked around seriously.

Wen Yuan looked at Alec in front of him, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Before at the border of the demon realm, Wen Yuan found a corner of his robe, and there were blood stains around it. At that time, Wen Yuan guessed that Alec was nearby, but after entering the demon world, he didn't see any trace of the other party, so he didn't expect to meet him here.

At this time, the other party stood on the rock, still wearing his simple and old robes, which seemed to be no different from before.

The only difference is that the power in his body feels more unfathomable.

After a while, a large crimson tail appeared on his shoulder, and a small fox appeared, and its swarthy eyes stared at everyone.

This series of changes in front of him made Li Han feel a bad feeling in his heart, and sure enough, in the next second, a light flashed in front of his eyes-

The body of the little crimson fox suddenly grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it didn't know where to get a piece of rune paper and put it in its mouth, with a vermilion strange pattern on it.

Then, a deafening roar resounded through the sky!

Wen Yuan had already expected to rush to Mu Jiujiu's side and covered her ears, and at the same time, he looked at the spirit fox in front of him who was suddenly several times larger, and the expression in his eyes was slightly strange.

At this time, the aura on the little fox's body was clearly somewhat similar to the Sky God Tail.

Is it because of the rune paper?

Luo Cheng's heart was not good, he felt as if he was gradually losing control of those spirit beasts.

The moment countless spirit beasts heard this sound, they all seemed to be stunned, like boiling water, and suddenly added a pot of cold water. The incalculable number of spirit beasts, the scarlet color in their eyes gradually faded-

The mania just now is gone!

Mu Jiujiu looked ahead in surprise.

In front of him, the roar of the crimson fox suddenly became low, and as the sound fell, the spirit beasts around him began to slowly retreat......

Whether it was a spirit bird flying in the air or a giant Godzilla on the ground, their emotions suddenly calmed down and returned to their original appearance.

Li Han looked at the scene in front of him, knowing that the general trend was gone, he swallowed the blood foam in his throat, and a fierce look appeared in his eyes.

He said to Luo Cheng beside him: "Let's go!" ”

Wen Yuan naturally noticed their movements here, he held the sword, and the red blood sword swung forward, and a shocking force struck them-

But Li Han seemed to have a spiritual weapon to transfer space, and just as the air flow was about to send them, their figures suddenly disappeared!

At the last moment, Luo Cheng glanced at Wen Yuan with a complicated expression.

……

The roars of beasts around them gradually subsided, and only the mess on the ground proved the reality of that moment.

Mu Jiujiu looked at Alec in front of him and the little fox who gradually returned to his previous mentality, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Uh...... Long time no see. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was silent for a while, she had to wave at the other party awkwardly.

The little crimson fox looked at her, ran down from the tree, came to her side, sniffed around Mu Jiujiu, and said, "I know you, I have heard Uncle Tail of the Sky God mention that you are the one who does not belong to this world. ”

Mu Jiujiu: "......"

She didn't know what to say now.

Is it really okay for you to pick off other people's vests like this when you're fine? also let him not have a little face as a traverser.

"It's been a long time, where did you go before?" Wen Yuan naturally bumped fists with Alec.

"It's a long story."

Alec's eyes flashed with memories, and he remembered what had happened some time ago.

When he entered the door, he fell into a deep obstacle, as if he had returned to his old days, when he had just made up his mind to follow the Holy One and say goodbye to his family.

For a moment, he vaguely knew that this was fake, but he inexplicably had a feeling in his heart that he didn't want to leave. Perhaps it is because of the existence of the Sage and his family in this illusion. And now, the scenes and objects he was familiar with have long since turned to dirt.

Things are not people, so people are no longer there.

However, despite this thought, Alec eventually left there, he may have been the last of the few people to come to the Qingyuan Small Realm, and he hadn't been there for long before he encountered the collapse of the Small Realm.

In the midst of the chaos, as Alec prepares to leave the place, he encounters some unexpected people he will never forget—the enemies he fought against them in the Endless Lands for so many years.

The process is not much to mention, in short, he was seriously injured, and just when he thought he was going to die, he woke up and found the Celestial Tail.

Thinking of this, Alec looked at Wen Yuan and said softly, "By now, you should have guessed a lot of things." ”

Wen Yuan heard him say this, and pondered: "It depends on what is going on." ”

Alec sighed softly.

Before, he thought that Wen Yuan was the descendant of the Sage, so he could wake him up, but then he heard what the Firmament God Tail said, it was because he was one of the chosen "saviors", and the Firmament God was the tail and planted a trace of the sealed Sage's breath in his body, which led to his ability to open the door of escape in the Endless Land.

At that time, after Alec heard this explanation, a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes, but at the same time there was a faint regret. The Sage was dead, and he felt that it would be good if the other party had descendants left.

It's like an extra kind of sustenance, and the original faith is still there.

However, it should not be forced.

At the beginning, the sage was always alone, and most of the time he was worried about the world, and it was indeed rare to see him close to any of the opposite sex.

Alec looked at Mu Jiujiu with a puzzled look on his face, and Wen Yuan, who was standing quietly on the side, and told everything that had happened before and what he had learned.

Wen Yuan nodded after hearing this.

Ever since he saw the Firmament Divine Tail that rainy night, he vaguely felt that the other party had planted a force in his body, but every time he wanted to investigate, he couldn't find it.

But at the same time, a faint doubt also arose in Wen Yuan's mind, if it was really as the other party said, then what were the memories that came to his mind when he was in the Endless Land?

Wen Yuan still clearly remembered that moment, when Duan Qianxiao asked him to escape with him, he suddenly understood the ancient words spoken by them, and at the same time remembered Alec's name.

Could it be—is this also what the power that was planted before brought him?

For a moment, he faintly captured something.

At the same time, Wen Yuan found himself entering a very strange realm, the surrounding environment gave him a sense of illusory, time kept going backwards, and all the scenery was rapidly going backwards-

He saw a woman with a baby in her arms, as if she were talking to someone.

"I beg you to take this child, his father died not long ago, and now I am also the last ...... of the crossbow"

"Why are you doing this? You know my ....... ”

"It's okay, you don't have to teach him anything, you just need to let him grow up healthy like an ordinary person, this child inherited his father, and there is a strange power in him, and everyone in their lineage is like this...... Remember to use the methods I taught you to suppress this power......"

"I made a note of it, then you-"

The sound faded away.

……

Wen Yuan looked at all this, his eyes were rarely a little dazed.

He felt that his consciousness was deep in a gray vortex, and he couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion.

"Wen Yuanjun? You okay? ”

Suddenly, a soft female voice appeared in his ears, Wen Yuan broke free from the feeling just now, and saw Mu Jiujiu's somewhat worried face next to him.

"What's wrong with you? I just felt like I was going to faint, was it injured during the previous fight? ”

"It's okay, I just ......"

Wen Yuan didn't know how to describe the previous situation.

The little crimson fox glanced at him, tilted his head and said, "It can't be that I was shocked by the loud voice I just had, right?" The talisman paper given by Uncle Firmament is just good, but—young man, you don't look good. ”

Wen Yuan: "......"

The little fox sighed earnestly: "You are like this, not only do we make our seniors who have entrusted you with important tasks very worried, but also make the girl next to you very worried." Young people should pay attention to their bodies and not find that they are too old to do whatever they want to do......"

Mu Jiujiu's indescribable expression on her face, was it her delusion? How did she feel that the fox was driving.

At this time, Alek coughed: "Let's get down to business, don't interrupt." ”

The little fox snorted, and Tsundere turned her head: "I'm teaching juniors." ”

Although it was not as old as Uncle Firmament, it was much older than the two humans in front of him.

Alec slowly raised his head, his gaze swept over Wen Yuan and Mu Jiujiu, and his eyes were a little serious: "Do you know the 'Ghost Bone Flame'?" ”

Wen Yuan shook his head.

Mu Jiujiu thought to herself, not to mention her, she didn't understand everything they said before, the only thing she felt a little connected was the mural she saw in the Land of the Dead, presumably the white giant beast in it was the Celestial Tail in their mouths.

And the mysterious man in white robes, and the dream she had some time ago - the sentence in it, "I can't protect you anymore".

All of this is connected and always gives a subtle feeling.

Alec continued, "There is no need to hide it from you now, the enemies you met before, as well as the two people just now, belong to the 'Ghost Bone Flame'. ”

"In fact, when the Sage designed, he combined with the Divine Tail of the Firmament, Yunxia Smoke and other divine beasts to hit it hard, I thought it would not wake up again, but I didn't expect it to be awakened again not long ago and re-enter the world."

Speaking of this, Alec's eyes sank: "Now, the only good news is that its power has not been fully restored, so there are not many opportunities to come out and do evil, but I always feel that it seems to be plotting something. ”

Wen Yuan suddenly caught a hint of something: "If I'm not mistaken, some time ago, the 'Firmament Divine Tail' and the 'Ghost Bone Flame' should have met head-on, right?" ”

Alec glanced at him, as if surprised by his sharpness.

"Yes, this battle is not pleasing to both sides, and I think that the 'Ghost Bone Flame' should not come out for a while."

There was one thing Alec didn't say, the Firmament Godtail had been in retreat since that time, and he always saw that something was not quite right.

…… Probably not, though?

Alec is aware of its might.

"What exactly is this 'Flame of the Ghost Valley'?" Mu Jiujiu wondered after hearing this.

According to what they said before, it seems that several great divine beasts have not fought for so long, and they have finally sealed it, but now they have been resurrected, is this thing so powerful?

Alec said slowly, "It's a long story, and I can only say what I know. ”

His gaze gradually drifted away, as if he remembered the beginning, which made his expression a little trance: "...... In fact, it wasn't so serious at first, and there would be some people everywhere who suddenly went crazy and killed people around them, but these can still be controlled.

Later, I accompanied the Holy Ones to a place to investigate the mass disappearance of the locals, and we found that those people were actually dead, and there was a familiar black aura around them, which must have been done by those people again.

Among the corpses, there was a dying little boy, the other party was seriously injured, and there were toxins in his body, we saw him as pitiful, so we rescued him.

The child woke up a few days later, and he seemed to be so frightened that he forgot everything, and the Holy One told us to take good care of him, and he was about the same age as my daughter at home, so I was so attentive to him. ”

Alek suddenly restrained, and a look of pain appeared in his eyes that had always been calm: "I will never forget that day, that day when the Sage went out to run errands, I was awakened by the light of the fire in my sleep, I wanted to save the boy, but I saw a scene that I didn't expect-

Unlike his usual weak temperament, the boy had a strange feeling all over his body, and it was difficult for me to describe the feeling, as if his soul had suddenly changed...... He is prostrate on a man's body, and he is actually gnawing at his flesh! ”

When Mu Jiujiu heard this, disbelief appeared in his eyes, and Wen Yuan beside him glanced at her and held her hand.

"That's when I realized that the boy was not a good man, that he was responsible for the fire, and that even the bodies we found at the time were probably his hands.

He came to us disguised as innocent and harmless, and killed countless of our right-hand men—the ones who usually took care of him as a junior. ”

Alec will never forget the fire, the boy coming out of the firelight, blood floating from the corners of his mouth, and his whole person looks like a demon who has come out of hell.

“…… Later, I used all means to kill him, and just when I thought it was all over, the boy's body began to decompose at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his blood turned black.

Immediately, a voice came to my ears, with a hint of sarcasm. ”

Alec lowered his eyes and said in a low voice:

"It said it would come back."
