Chapter 55: The Cataclysm (Part II)
Bai Xuanyi and the others gathered around Salo one after another, and at this time, his life aura was constantly weakening, and I was afraid that the use of this gem had overdrawn his life.
"Lord Salo! Master! You can't die! The grizzled Hall also knelt beside him at this time, shouting with tears in his eyes.
Salo looked at him, then at his companions, and finally at the gem in his palm.
"My mission on earth has been accomplished...... It's up to you young people next......" Salo's trembling voice carried infinite desolation.
"It's just a pity that I didn't succeed in leading my legion to complete the mission, and I will never have a chance to revive my family in the future......" Salo's body began to gradually turn into wisps of purple smoke and dust, and passed away with the wind.
Soon, his whole body turned into this purple smoke, and along with the purple gem, he went away to a place that no one knew.
Everyone seemed to have stopped time, and they were in a daze for a long time, and Bai Xuanyi's eyes were already moist and red.
Huang Yao on the side put his arm around her shoulders and took her to the side, comforting her.
"Why...... Why did he do this...... Bai Xuanyi muttered, "He could have survived......"
Huang Yao was silent for a long time and said, "Do you know what that purple gem used by Salo is?" ”
Bai Xuanyi was puzzled, wiped his eyes and shook his head.
"It's a Draenor gem, a kind of ...... from hell Token. Huang Yao said with a solemn face.
"What? Hell? Bai Xuanyi was shocked," Salo ...... He's a dignified True Universe cultist, huh? How could there be such a thing? ”
"Judging by his ability to use the Draenor Gem and the circumstances of his death...... Huang Yao said slowly, "there is a good chance that he is a descendant of one of the Demon Ancestors of Hell. ”
"What?!" Bai Xuanyi was shocked again and made a lot of noise, but fortunately it didn't attract the attention of the people over there.
"The Drenx family...... Huang Yao made a thoughtful gesture, "This family may be the descendants of the Black Wing Demon Ancestor in the mortal world. ”
"Blackwing Demon Ancestor?" Bai Xuanyi savored this new term he heard for the first time, and it didn't seem to be a good thing......
"How could the Demon Ancestor of Hell leave a descendant in the human world?" Bai Xuanyi asked.
Huang Yao glanced at her and said, "You will naturally understand these things later, war only reveals the truth, and peace often breeds a bigger conspiracy. ”
Five minutes later, Huang Yao and Bai Xuanyi returned to the crowd, and everyone else thought that the two seemingly weak women were just comforting each other.
"Looks like you're in a much better shape, so let's move on." Xu Mingjian said.
"But there's a fork in the road, which way should I go?" The young man on the side asked, the fork in front of him looked like it was well built, and even if it was damaged by demons, it was still generally possible to pass through it.
Bai Xuanyi said nonchalantly: "No matter which road it is, it leads to the city center, so I don't care." ”
"How do you know that both roads lead to the city center?!" Hall in the back yelled, "There must be a way to the outside world!" ”
Bai Xuanyi glanced at him with disdain, and was about to refute, but he heard Huang Yao say, "She is right, it is indeed ......", Huang Yao's face suddenly changed.
"The devil's pursuers are coming." Huang Yao looked behind him and saw a dense mass of terrifying demons attacking them frantically.
"Well, I'm worried that my axe is useless!" The young man looked very excited, picked up the giant axe in his hand and swung it a few times, revealing a very high fighting spirit.
Xu Mingjian also drew his long sword, and Arenas, who seemed to be the strongest at the moment, stepped to the front.
Huang Yao was still watching his surroundings vigilantly, to prevent the ambush from suddenly rushing out from a corner, after all, the position they were in was a pass.
Soon, the first powerful skeleton cavalry rushed forward, just in front of the huge blade of Arenas, and all of them were wiped out without any suspense.
And the demon soldiers such as the Flame Demon Dog, the Flame Demon, and the Ghost rushed over in three ways, and Xu Mingjian and the giant axe boy rushed forward and fought with them.
Huang Yao and Bai Xuanyi use spells such as barriers to protect them from ghosts and demons.
Although with the efforts of everyone, batch after batch of demons were completely destroyed, their number began to increase, and gradually everyone began to be unable to resist.
"Why don't we run first?" Xu Mingjian was slashing at a skeleton cavalryman as he yelled at his companions.
"That's how they're going to get more and more!" Behind him, Bai Xuanyi looked into the distance and found that more demons were attacking here.
So after a while, they ran towards the fork in the road on the right, destroying the demons that were coming behind them as they ran.
As the pace of the crowd accelerated, the number of demons chasing them gradually became fewer and fewer, and in the end, they successfully escaped from the pursuit of the demons.
Xu Mingjian sat on the ground as if relieved, gasping for breath as he began to look around at the same time.
When he looked back, his face turned pale in an instant, and his body seemed to be frozen.
"What's wrong with you?" The giant axe boy next to him asked curiously, and couldn't help but look in the same direction, and his reaction was the same.
I saw that there seemed to be a pair of huge red wings in the sky not far away, and a very rich red light continued to overflow from it, and the surrounding sky was dyed red by it.
Huang Yao had been staring at the pair of wings for a long time, and the solemn and worried expression on her face never wavered.
Bai Xuanyi also observed the red light wings over there, and faintly felt that that thing was the source of all this catastrophe......
......
Heiyao City, at this time it was already midnight in the city, and the number of people walking on the road began to gradually decrease.
And in a certain high-rise building in the center of the city, a shining window is quite dazzling, this high-rise building is the office building where the Lan family lives.
The glowing window was Lan Xiaoyu's office, where she was looking at an ancient book rather decadently.
She looks a little haggard, and she seems to have lost the brilliance of her former heartthrob after not tidying up herself for a few days.
And the reason for her decadence is precisely because she is worried about her friends in the city of Laiming, and she has been trying to rescue them by various means in the past few days, but none of them have succeeded.
Disheartened, she locked herself up here and read a book alone to soothe her wounded heart.
Lan Xiaoyu, who hadn't rested for a few days, quickly lowered his head, as if he was asleep, and the book on the table looked a little old, like an ancient book from a long time ago.
After a while, a cool night breeze blew across Lan Xiaoyu's body, gradually waking her up.
Lan Xiaoyu looked up, and it turned out that the window in front of him had been opened a crack at some point, and the night wind was blowing from here.
"What......" Lan Xiaoyu complained, stepped forward and closed the window, and at the same time looked at the night scene downstairs.
The city center is bustling than the city surroundings, so it's still lit up even late at night.
Stroking the window with special magic, Lan Xiaoyu sighed slightly, just when she wanted to go back-
"Is it pretty? The breathtaking night view of this city of souls? There is no doubt that this voice came from behind Lan Xiaoyu, an extremely charming voice that was also familiar to Lan Xiaoyu.
Lan Xiaoyu's breathing instantly became unstable, she turned around tremblingly, and saw the appearance of the uninvited guest.
A faint blue light surrounded the girl's body, blurring her appearance, but Lan Xiaoyu could still see clearly that it was the mysterious girl she had seen in the flower bed of the Thousand Scenes Academy before, Lingxi.
"Why are you here?" Lan Xiaoyu leaned back against the window while remaining calm and asked.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you this time." Lingxi sat on the table where Lan Xiaoyu was reading, crossed his legs, and picked up the ancient book on the table.
"What's the point of looking at such useless things?" Lingxi's hand shook, and the ancient book was instantly burned to ashes by the blue flames.
Just when Lan Xiaoyu was thinking about how to deal with her, suddenly the door of the office was opened, and it was Tian Xuelan who rushed in.
"Xiao Yu! Are you okay?! Tian Xuelan hurriedly asked, while staring viciously at the vague figure in front of her.
"I'm not going to show mercy this time." Tian Xuelan took out what looked like a small plaque and aimed it at Lingxi.
"Don't be so impulsive, I really don't want to hurt you, I really want to help her this time......" Lingxi said with a slight smile.
"Who will believe your nonsense!" Tian Xuelan clenched the plaque, and something like an electric spark began to burst out from it, hiding an extremely powerful power.
Lingxi seemed to know that her simple explanation was useless, and her figure suddenly disappeared from the table.
"What?!" Lan Xiaoyu and Tian Xuelan were both very surprised, and just as they wanted to make a move, Lingxi's voice came into their ears again.
"See? The night sky in the distance had gradually faded. Lingxi didn't know when he actually stood in front of the window, very close to Lan Xiaoyu.
"Monsters are coming here, and it may not be long before all of you will die in the calamity it causes." Seeing that Tian Xuelan and Lan Xiaoyu both seemed to be too frightened to react, Lingxi continued.
"So, I want you to think about what I said, you are the key to appeasing its anger." Ling Xi suddenly turned his head to look at Lan Xiaoyu.
Although the blue light was still blurring her face, Lan Xiaoyu could faintly see the seemingly incomprehensible sadness in her eyes.
After saying this, Lingxi disappeared again, and another gust of night wind blew, which couldn't help but startle the two of them.
