Chapter 45: The Invasion of Darkness
In the darkness, something shrouded in death shone brightly.
Like the stars in the sky, it is so bright that it is impossible to look at it directly.
Even if we can't see it, but just run with our backs to it, we can still feel the strange feeling deeply...... It's obviously something surrounded by the breath of death....... But the feeling that we have is extremely dazzling...... Or rather...... Sacred?
For such a strange existence, the expressions on the faces of the old ancestor and I couldn't help but become solemn, and we looked at each other and exchanged simple glances.
He continued to run with the men, trying to get around the exploding corpses as much as possible, while I slowed down and went to the back of the group to avoid the sneak attack of those running behind.
I could clearly feel the thing scurrying through the mountains, fast, approaching us, but strangely it didn't make a sound as it moved.
That's right, it's not sound at all, and it's quiet and only weird.
As I slowed down to the back of the line, I took the time to look back, just to see what it looked like, and what a terrible thing it was that gave off that strange aura.
But no matter how I looked, it was still empty behind me, with no sound or any sign of anything moving in the woods.
"Do you feel wrong?" Qibao suddenly asked, and his tone was very puzzled: "It's normal in the forest, it doesn't look like something is chasing us." ”
"Something is wrong...... Spiderboy muttered, "I just felt it carefully....... I didn't find anything else......"
"Yes." The old ancestor gritted his teeth and said, continuing to run with the team in front: "I feel it very clearly...... It's not far from us....... It's only about thirty or forty meters........"
Hearing this, everyone didn't say anything more, and ran with the old ancestor, but everyone's expressions were very puzzled, especially the spider boy.
What he is best at is observing qi, and he is very sensitive to changes in qi, and even he didn't notice the movement in the woods, so this thing is indeed a bit strange.
At this time, I suddenly realized something, to be precise, I remembered what I had encountered on the Black Dragon Mountain in the northeast.
At that time, I was in a state of aperture, three souls and seven spirits came out of the seven orifices, and the space I was in was definitely not the same as reality, so what I could see was getting closer and closer to reality......
There is a possibility.
Could it be that the creature chasing us is in another dimension, and although it can make contact with us, it cannot be seen by us with the naked eye?
Nor is it boasting.
In our team, the strength of the Ancestor and I should be the strongest, and the ancient qi carried in our bodies is also even more refined.
The reason why that strange creature is perceived by us is probably because of this.
Thinking of this, I also muttered in my heart.
After entering the body of sin, my soul has also changed to a greater or lesser extent, the most intuitive thing is that it is more solid with the body, unlike the body that can be easily separated.
I believe that every realm of the Flesh Body Gu is an earth-shaking change, it will only get better and stronger, and it will definitely not retreat......
Based on this, I feel that it is not important that the soul is inseparable from the body, and I must have a way to see that "world".
When it comes to self-repair after being damaged, the Flesh Gu is the main force, and the Ancient Qi is only an auxiliary ...... It can be said that when I didn't urge the Ancient Qi, the strength of my physical body was determined according to the physical body Gu.
After urging the ancient qi, the physical body will undergo abnormal changes, and each change is more or less different, which is related to the ancient qi that has been activated.......
I have talked to my ancestor before, and I asked for advice on some tips on the use of ancient qi, after all, he has been in contact with ancient qi for so many years, and in my eyes he is no different from an old-timer.
He told me a lot of skills, but most of them were already understood by me, and I couldn't use the rest of the part, after all, I didn't have the same physique as him.......
But now that I think about it, there's one thing that seems like I was able to use it perfectly.
Gather the ancient qi in the flesh, no longer scattered to the limbs and bones, but to one point.......
Not to mention, if it weren't for the current situation, I wouldn't even think of such a thing.
"I'd like to see ...... What the hell are you......"
As I said this, the ancient qi in my body had already moved with my thoughts, following the direction I controlled, unhurriedly surging towards my eyes.
The old ancestor who was running at the front seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned his head to look at me, but did not speak, and then turned back and continued to run tirelessly.
The ancient qi quickly gathered near the eye socket, and I could clearly feel that the ancient qi was like a liquid, and it was seeping into my eyeballs little by little.
It doesn't feel so uncomfortable, on the contrary, it's quite cool.
Because of the tiredness and nervousness, my eyes have always been a little sour, just like following the sand, the flesh Gu can be repaired elsewhere, this little problem it really can't be repaired, I feel that eye drops are more useful than it.
But under the effect of ancient qi, the sourness disappeared in an instant, on the contrary, the eyes were quite moist, and there was a feeling that I couldn't open them when I just woke up......
In this strange change, my vision became clearer and clearer, and the surrounding scenery also changed hues, sharper than I had seen before, and the contrast was extremely high.
I first glanced at the old man and them, and in this state, when I looked at them, I could not only see the flesh, but also some humanoid phantoms that emitted a white soft light, which was an outline, attached to their flesh.
If I'm not mistaken, those phantoms....... It should be their souls.
I didn't have time to get excited, so I hurriedly turned around and glanced into the woods behind me.
Sure enough, under the influence of the ancient qi, my naked eyes are different from before, and I can see things in a deeper world very intuitively.
Dark.
In the woods behind us, there was already a darkness that was so thick that it could not be seen like ink.
To be honest, I feel that this darkness is not just a hue, but a creature in its own right.
It can spread freely, and it can also exude a feeling that only living beings can have, like having the ability to think independently, and I feel that it is also looking at me while I look at it.
At this moment, the voice of the sand-bodied man rang out in my brain very suddenly.
I'm sure it's not a hallucination, and I'm hearing it very well...... Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I've seen another real world......
But that's not right, I just see, not hear...... Could it be that while I come into contact with this world, I will also integrate into it uncontrollably, and those deeper beings can also connect with me??
"This is your last chance......."
The sand-bodied man spoke, although his tone was extremely indifferent, without the slightest personal feeling, but there was still a hint of threat in his words.
"Accept your fate...... Let go of connections that shouldn't be....... I need a strong family to serve me........ I need a family to guide me....... It's like the family of the black-robed king........ I need you ......."
"You should accept your fate and be ashamed of what you have done, and when you understand your sins, I will take you across the deep sky and the sea of stars, through the dark abyss of the ancient father......."
"In the palace of the land of my calamity....... What awaits you will be eternal magic and glory......."
When I heard this, the darkness that was spreading and chasing us was no more than ten meters away.
Even if I can't see the scene in this darkness, I can still feel that there is a terrible being that has been hidden in the darkness and opened its bloody mouth.......
At this moment, I hesitated, but I stopped, and instead of continuing to run with my ancestors, I turned around and threw myself into the darkness......
I thought I was crazy, but I knew I was awake and I was saving them.
If I don't, I'll be swallowed up by this darkness...... It's not just me, it's everyone.
When I thought of this and was relieved, the darkness had enveloped me, and a huge mouth full of fishy mucus gradually came into view.
"Nine....... Nine Gods?! Why are you here?! ”
