Chapter 9: River of Blood (1)

The silent sky fell heavily, and the gray almost annihilated the already inconspicuous clouds. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Little Haimu walked down the streets, and it was more appropriate to say of wasteland than streets.

The path formed by the shriveled dirt is narrow and desolate, and it is full of messes and crumbling scenes. Most of the round-shaped earthen houses on both sides had closed wooden doors, and some of them were open in a few broken pieces, making a series of unpleasant "squeaks", revealing the dark room inside, like a wretched old man humming pitifully.

His eyes were hollow, his body was covered with dust and blood, and he walked with a pestle, "lost his soul" alive.

With a "bang", the open, crumbling wooden door finally failed to support it and fell to the ground.

Xiaohai froze.

The sound was like smashing his temporarily closed box, and the subconsciously locked things inside fluttered their wings and flew out like a bird in a cage.

The scene of the collapse of the Octagon is back in front of my eyes.

... He's still in there!!

Xiao Hai trembled his lips, and it took a long time before he whimpered and cried.

......

"You eat more, brother is not hungry."

"I went to Aunt Xiang's house today to help with some work, and she gave me an apple! You eat it, my brother doesn't like to eat this. ”

"You bastards! Who dares to bully my brother! I can't kill you! ”

"Phew! These brutes! Bully the soft and fear the hard! Don't cry, they're gone .... Hi! I'm addicted to crying! You fat man! The old man can't be tough! ”

"Uncle Zhao in the backyard was arrested, and I really like his commentary, especially the tomb robbery, which is so exciting! Alas...... It's a pity, but I'll be able to talk to you about it. ”

"Loulan, do you know? I want to go and see it, it's quite mysterious, maybe there are treasures left by the ancestors! When the time comes, my brother will choose the best daughter-in-law for you! ”

......

Da Lei's words echoed in his ears. Although there is no blood relationship, Xiaohai has always regarded Da Lei as a more important relationship than "brother", like a father? Seem to rely on? Trust?

It should all have it, like the only straw in the sea, so small and weak, but crucial.

At this moment, this only wealth is gone......

He never thought that his brother would leave, let alone that he had killed him!

If... If I could have listened to my brother and left early, how could this have happened?! If it weren't for his own greed, he wouldn't stop yelling until he found the baby... How could my brother die because of this?!

Xiaohai, Xiaohai! Why are you so inhuman!!

He sat down on the ground with his feet limp, and the soil on the ground was large, cold and grinding. Xiao Hai lowered his head, his shoulders trembled, he didn't release his cry loudly, he kept holding it back, or he no longer had the strength to vent his self-blame. He turned the great sadness in his chest into a small voice that slowly pushed out of his throat, and he didn't even dare to open his mouth, only to flow slightly from his nose.

Elder brother... I hurt you!!!

The little sea curled up on the ground, he didn't notice, the sky gradually darkened, a huge black shadow pressed down, everything was hidden in the black mist, and it was terrifying.

There was silence, only Xiao Hai's body fell to the ground, and his blurred outline trembled slightly. It was too dark, and the already bleak environment couldn't see what was where, everything was covered by this sudden dark night, like a veil on the fish tank, and the swaying shadows could be vaguely seen, but I didn't know whether it was a fish tail or a water weed, and I wanted to explore it, but I couldn't open it.

With it, there is an invisible shadow, hidden in the night. A little bit of the undercurrent approached the small sea.

The shadow first flowed slowly, then quickened its pace, and quickly rushed behind Xiao Hai! If you look closely, you can see a slender five fingers sticking out! Like the withered branches of the 10,000-year-old trees in the deep mountains, twisting and bending eagerly stretching out to the small sea!

Suddenly, the branch-like deformed hand suddenly retracted as soon as it touched Xiao Hai! At the same time, a hurried shout sounded out of nowhere: "Run!! ”

This voice suddenly startled Xiao Hai!

He stood up with a "thud" and looked warily around the darkness for the source of the sound, but saw nothing.

Xiao Hai was a little dizzy when he stood up, so that he couldn't figure out if it was the blackening of his eyes caused by the blood rushing to his brain too quickly, or if the night had suddenly dropped like this?!

Long... He relented.

It seems to be the latter.

At the same time, the blood all over the body seemed to be coagulated, and goosebumps jumped up in waves!!

The voice.... It's brother!!

He suddenly tensed his nerves, and looked around the black press, this dark night was a little abnormal. Xiao Hai looked up at the sky, and it was pitch black above his head. He couldn't even tell how far away the sky was from him, it seemed to be within reach, it seemed to be out of reach.

"Brother..."Xiao Hai's hoarse voice sounded in the night.

He swallowed and continued, "Is that you?" ”

A piece of silence.

Everything that has happened during this period of time has long been beyond his bearing, and at this moment, all Xiao Hai's attention is focused on the voice, looking for where it came from, and he doesn't care about the content of the voice at all!

He asked timidly, moving slowly. The night was so dark that he could only see objects within half a meter of him. The night grew thicker, and the air seemed to be filled with dense red particles. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to spot it.

Xiao Hai looked around like a headless fly, and there was a chill on the back of his neck, he shivered and turned around, and suddenly a huge face appeared in front of him! It's clinging to him!! Xiao Hai could even see the dark eyeballs that had been shattered! There was still black and red blood lying in the cracks!!

The voice was so frightened that he couldn't shout, and one stumbled and fell to the ground! Xiao Hai was so shocked that he couldn't say a word, his legs were already trembling and he couldn't control it, let alone running, he didn't dare to climb!

What a "person" he is!

The night was still dark, but Xiao Hai could clearly see the scars on the huge face in front of him that had been cut by a sharp weapon! Every cut is extraordinarily deep! It's like the bones are about to break! Criss-crossed and sunk deep into the bones, the broken bridge of the nose slanted diagonally across the face, the lips were gone, revealing two rows of jagged teeth. The most terrifying thing is his body! It seemed to be breaking at any moment, especially with such a huge head! His body was as shriveled as a dead tree after it had been burned by fire!

Xiao Hai remembered that when he was a child, the neighboring alley caught fire, and a fifty-year-old locust tree was burned, and Cen Tian's thick torso turned into a pitch-black stump in a blink of an eye!

That's exactly what the "man" body is! His clawed limbs were like dead branches in the cold wind, squandered by the cold wind, and the slender ones were severely deformed!

He walked slowly towards Xiaohai, like a puppet that could drop at any moment. The mouth is "heh, heh" and exhales cold air, as if he is talking, and seems to be wheezing. I don't know if it was blood or saliva mixed with the liquid between his teeth, and it was very nauseous. Falling to the ground makes a "ticking" sound.

"Tick"?!

........

!!!! Not good!!!

A huge smell of blood instantly filled the nasal cavity, which was so strong that it was disgusting. Xiao Hai suddenly felt that the lower half of his body was already soaked, and the palm that was supported on the ground, the texture that should have been hard and rough was not right.... Don't?

He lowered his head slowly... And sure enough...

The strong smell of blood, the soaking of the lower half of the body, and the strange touch of the palms..... It's all from here!!

Blood...... Blood!!

As far as the eye can see, the muddy land that was just dry and cold has turned into a river of blood!! The original round-arched earthen buildings on both sides have also become distant river shorelines, which have been reflected red by the blood light, and the dark sky is faintly connected with the blood light. The combination of blood and black curtains is like crying before the disaster!

The so-called hell is nothing more than that, right?

There are also shapeless solids floating on the surface of the river, floating slowly. If you look closely, it turns out to be corpses!! They have all been soaked in blood and swollen and deformed! Under the shadow of the endless sky, there is a silent sorrow! Some of them are even more boneless! Scattered limbs flowed alone with the ripples of the river of blood...... In the dark fog, Xiao Hai could even see a child's head floating not far away, the head turned around with the ripples on the river surface, turned around and stared at Xiao Hai with a deformed face, and suddenly pulled his mouth and smiled, his eyeballs had turned inside, and his mouth was open, and maggots were densely popping out inside. The woman sitting on the stone bench bent down and reached out to collect the blood, carefully picked up the skull, held it in her arms, and sang a strange lullaby......

The brain is buzzing, and it hurts so much that it is about to explode!!

Xiao Hai closed his eyes painfully and shook his head, and when he opened them again, the scene disappeared, and there was only a broken arm on the silent lake....

The surging blood red has already spread over half of Xiaohai's body! The bottom of the water gurgled with blood bubbles, reflecting the whirlpools in the sky, and the black curtain twisted together in a vicious circle, balancing the changes in the river! Suddenly, there was a trembling and screaming, and the fog barrier burst out! I only heard a terrible scream resounding through the heavens and the earth! The sound seemed to pierce hell from the zenith, shaking to death! How to describe it? Like a sharp sword hitting the resentment and despair that locks the throat! Xiao Hai only felt that the sound was a fire under the thunder, burning on him, and he was weak and in great pain! Suddenly, a picture came to mind!!

Heaven and earth slaughter!!

"Click" "Click"

This crisp shattering sound was particularly harsh at this moment, Xiao Hai came back to his senses, only to see the monster in front of him twisting in an indescribable posture, he was like a tree growing in water, opening his arms like withered branches to wrap around himself, and his withered body instantly stretched out countless dry bodies! Quickly "snapped" to the bottom of the blood river, grunting and letting out an ugly low whine, and suddenly, the monster suddenly swelled and swelled, growing into a strange tree in front of Xiao Hai!!

The body of this tree seems to be surrounded by countless vines, faintly revealing the fragmented face in the middle, and there is still blood gushing in his sunken eye sockets, and those criss-crossing are not vines, but black and green snakes!! They wander back and forth on the trees, occasionally spitting out letters, "sizzling" and provocative.

This.... This is the Dryad?

Da Lei likes to listen to book reviews, which is a secret that belongs only to the two of them. Uncle Zhao in the backyard is the only one who can tell a book within a radius of hundreds of miles, this is their secret, every time my brother hears something, he will come back to tell him, those gods and ghosts, folk tales, always scared me night and night I dare not breathe.

......

"Xiaohai, it is said that at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, there is a dense jungle, the jungle has a history of a hundred years, and it is a no-man's land. Rumor has it that there is an inconspicuous cave in the depths. Nearby residents said that this cave is a sacred cave, a residence of the mountain god, and a blessing for the people of the mountain. In order not to disturb the tranquility of the mountain spirit, and want to express their respect, the ancestors set a rule, except for the festival, no one is allowed to step into this hole! Every year on the fourth day of the second lunar month, the patriarchs of the past dynasties would send ten sturdy men to worship with offerings. But there has been no return. The patriarch said that it was the mountain god who took them to cultivate immortals, in order to protect the mountains and protect the people together. Hundreds of years have passed, and nothing has happened. But there was a peasant, he was really curious, and when he heard that there was no god in it, but a treasure left by his ancestors, he couldn't resist the temptation and broke in. As soon as I entered, I found that it was not a cave at all, but an underground abyss hundreds of meters deep! There is a huge ancient tree inside, standing tall and upright, a hundred feet thick and a thousand feet high! And what hangs from this tree are shriveled corpses.... All male! Without exception, the blood all over his body seemed to be drained! As far as the eye can see, there are traces of thousands of corpses.... Suddenly....! ”

"Ahh.......hh If you don't listen, don't talk about it!! ”

"Hahahaha... This is a dryad! It really exists! ”

"Liar!"

"Really!"

......

It turns out that there really is.

Although the shape of this monster is different from what my brother said, the terrifying fear still permeates the whole body.

Xiao Hai swallowed his saliva, he forced himself to calm down, how many bizarre things have been avoided along the way, and he is afraid that this time it will not work?! My brother is no longer around...... His gaze dimmed, followed by a meaningful determination. Xiao Hai's hand groped his whole body, and the burden given by the sixth child was still there, but the dagger for self-defense was on his brother's body, and there was nothing else in it except some dry food and torches for the fire. .... Right! Torch! Trees are the most afraid of fire! But... How could there be a gap for him to ignite a fire in such a short period of time?! Just as he was thinking about it, the baggage suddenly dispersed, and all the contents fell into the river of blood! Worst! Xiao Hai subconsciously groped in the river of blood, how could the river be too fast, he couldn't find it at all, and suddenly touched a smooth object in a trance, Xiao Hai's heart was cold, it couldn't be a human bone...? Then he dispelled this thought, this object was slippery and small, and when he picked it up, it turned out to be a jade bracelet!

I don't know if this bracelet is soaked in the river of blood or if it is like this, the color is deep, and the green is black. I just picked it up from the river, but there was no moisture at all, it was cold and clean.

The voice of the tree demon changed, it seemed to be in sharp pain, he roared hideously, Xiao Hai only felt that he was confused by the sound, and his eyes were scattered, in a trance, the branches of the tree spread and grew rapidly, and the branches slowly bulged, as if they were blooming, as if they were bearing fruit, and gradually grew into a huge circle, and the circle turned around and found that it was actually a human face!

It's the head!

The head closest to the leader, Xiao Hai, had the impression that it was the man in the ruined temple during the day, and he recognized the triangular totem on his forehead......

Xiao Hai rolled his eyes, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten...

The eleventh branch is empty.

In a trance, the heavens and the earth were cloudy and blood-red.
