Chapter 52: Late Night (31)
Sharp icicles are shattered by the blades of the sword. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
More icicles broke through the wind and swooped down on them from all directions.
The mermaid swam a few laps in the water and re-emerged~ the surface of the water, with a thin layer of ice ballast hanging on its body, like a layer of armor composed of ice.
A poisonous snake wrapped around her slender neck, its head pressed tightly against her cheek, spitting out bright red letters, rubbing it affectionately.
The dark snake scales form a strong contrast with the mermaid's white and delicate skin, making her look a little more dangerous and mysterious sexual~.
The wind ruffled her long hair, revealing a bright red mark on her shoulder blades on her back.
It was an intricate and rugged pattern. It looks like the totem of some primitive tribe, and just by looking at it, you can feel an ancient and desolate majesty coming from the pattern.
The imprint burned deep into her skin, leaving rough and uneven marks, reflecting the surrounding skin becoming more and more white and smooth.
That's the sign of a slave.
It's like a curse. The moment it was branded, it went deep into the bone marrow and soul, and always followed her side, unable to get rid of or resist. Let her be subservient to her master until death.
That's why you hate me so much?
Shen Luotian glanced at the imprint behind her, and felt an indescribable great sadness welling up in his heart.
The ice ballast in front of him fell, and his sword swing continued to speed up, but it was no faster than the increasingly dense icicles.
The whirlwind around him spread out, rolling up the countless icicles around him and rising into the air, crushing them into powder.
The water beneath his feet calmed down for a moment as the wind swept by, followed by a huge wave erupting.
The green butterflies that swirled around him were also blown away by the gust of wind.
It floated on the surface of the water for a moment, then regained its direction and flew back to him. Stopped in front of his eyes and danced, trying to get the attention of the man in front of him.
Its wings are covered with a faint green hue, reflecting ~ a mysterious light with its movements.
Shen Luotian finally noticed this little thing. He stretched out a hand suspiciously, and the butterfly immediately fell on his hand with difficulty against the wind.
It has two dots on its wings that look like two delicate eyes that constantly twinkle as its wings flapp.
It's like the silent gaze of a girl with affection.
"Who are you?"
He leaned closer to the butterfly's wings and asked cautiously, for fear of hurting the fragile little animal.
The butterfly shook its shoulders and flew around his fingers before falling back into his hand. Its thin claws scratched at its fingers, bringing a little itch.
The back of a young girl flashed through my mind.
A girl whose petite body is wrapped in a wide coat, kneeling beside a flat stone, plucking the strings intermittently.
The petals of various colors fall in the wind, and the jerky sound of the piano echoes in the ears.
"Ah, why are you back again?"
Shen Luotian smiled at the butterfly: "I'm sorry, I still don't remember your name." ”
The butterfly flapped its wings twice and circled around his shoulder.
It was just an ordinary action, and he could actually read the determination in it.
Women are really ...... I don't understand.
He shook his head, ignoring the butterfly hanging from his body, and concentrated on the enemy in front of him.
The mermaid swings its tail and swims among the fish, moving gracefully like the best dancer.
The bright red water underwent some wonderful change with her dance.
The fish blood that was originally mixed with the river water separated from the water little by little and floated on the surface of the water, forming a huge and mysterious figure.
Standing in the center is a crumbling black boulder.
The ghost king who stepped on the dragon's head inadvertently glanced down, and immediately jumped off the dragon's head.
"She wants to sacrifice her own blood and smash the boundary monument for that person."
He landed beside Shen Luotian and raised his long sword at the mermaid: "Stop!" If you go on like this, you'll die too! ”
The merfolk shook her head at him with a determined expression, and continued to sway and swim in the water.
Her movements as she wandered carried a certain subtle rhythm, like a dancing girl performing for a banquet, and she performed a thousand customs alone.
The high dragon head could not find the enemy, but did not get angry again. Instead, as if sensing some danger, the ghost fire in his eyes jumped violently, shaking his head and looking around.
The Ghost King shouted to the mermaid, "Wake me up!" Do you have to die for a man? ”
The school of fish around her suddenly fell silent.
They no longer jump out ~ of the water and commit suicide by hitting the air wall, but they still can't escape the fate of death. As the surrounding formations gradually took shape, these lively fish floated to the surface of the water one by one, and the bright red blood in their bodies was quickly squeezed out to the last drop by something and melted into the huge formation.
A shriveled fish carcass sank to the bottom of the water, its cloudy eyes looking up at the sky through the water, and his eyes were full of despair and unwillingness when he was on the verge of death.
The corpse dragon opened its mouth wide and bit downward, and the ghost fire beating in its eye sockets condensed into two tiny points of light, obviously terrified to the extreme.
The ghost king tugged on Shen Luotian's shoulder and quickly retreated some distance.
The huge faucet plunged into the water and stirred all under the water, and even the gravel at the bottom of the water was picked up by it. However, the disease did not cause any damage to the formation attached to the water.
It raised its head again, and the flickering ghostly fire stared at the two tiny humans in front of it, slapping it down with one claw.
I didn't see it for a moment, and there were a lot of new wounds on it. Even the sharp claws have been shaved off two phalanges, and the top of the head is simply missing a large ~ piece of flesh, directly exposing its blackened skull.
The smell of blood in the water irritated this already bloodthirsty monster.
The fish carcass resurfaced as soon as it was stirred, and quickly drifted away with the flowing water.
More and more fish are dying from their owners' dances, and the air around them is tinged with a hint of danger.
Before the formation was completely completed, it had already begun to show its power.
The corpse dragon was frantically spitting fire, spewing water, and howling on the water, writhing its body to get out of this bright red water, but it was stopped by something at the edge of the formation, and it hit the scalp and bled out.
It didn't care, and after this pretend, it didn't even forget about roaring, just kept hitting its head against the edge of the formation, waving its claws to try to make a few cracks in what was trapping it, and constantly spitting out all kinds of things from its mouth, trying to escape from this place that terrified it.
"I thought that she could really be so cruel to herself. When the formation is formed, except for the person who draws the formation, all the living things that are surrounded by the range of the formation will die, and the dead things will directly turn into ashes. And those who draw the formation will get the power to think about the sacrifice. ”
The ghost king's indifferent voice sounded in his ears: "But only once. The power gained by the blood sacrifice can only be used once, and when it is used up, even the person who drew the formation will die. ”
"Why bother?"
Shen Luotian looked at the mermaid swimming in the water sympathetically: "Why didn't you stop her?" ”
"Once the formation is formed, she becomes a part of it, and she can only act with the push of the formation, and she can only stop it before it starts. Now, whoever goes dies. ”
The ghost king raised his eyebrows and looked at the people around him meaningfully: "Didn't you keep staring at her, and now you are blaming me again?" ”
"Who's going to die, I know this, but ......"
Shen Luotian cleared his throat and said seriously: "But you're already dead, it won't be good to try." ”
"That's right."
The Ghost King nodded in agreement, "However, I refuse this proposal. ”
The mermaid floated and fell in the water, and the poisonous snake flicked its tail happily around his neck, staring excitedly at the boulder in the distance, as if it was expecting something.
"It's not easy for them to feed so many fish here for blood sacrifice!"
Shen Luotian touched his chin, thought for a moment, turned his head and asked, "But this little thing is like breaking a boundary monument, is it enough?" ”
"Of course it's not enough."
The Ghost King looked at him with disdain: "Isn't there another you!" Turn around and cut you down with a sword, and the sacrifice will be enough. I didn't understand this at all, and my brain was eaten by a fish just now? ”
Shen Luotian took half a step back in shock, and the long sword retracted into his palm with a "whoosh".
As soon as he grasped the ghost king's empty hand, he pleaded affectionately: "Senior, you must save me!" ”
You're talking nonsense, who will I save if I don't save you?
The ghost king shook off his hand indifferently: "Don't make noise, let me think about what to do." ”
The corpse dragon tossed around the edge of the formation for a while, and after finding that it had no effect, it swam back violently, aiming at the mermaid under the water is a poisonous flame.
Green poisonous flames fell into the water, staining the waters an eerie dark green.
The mermaid under the poisonous shroud was still swimming leisurely, and the two transparent long swords in their hands were gradually dyed bright red. Blood oozed faintly from the scales beneath her, dragging out wisps of blood as she swam, quickly dissipating into the water.
The boulder behind the two of them was trembling like a child trembling with fear, and even began to make a low "whining" sound.
A low laugh came from the deep water.
It's like hysteria before revenge.
******************************************
"Is that really going to work?"
Xue Qing hugged the boy with a disabled leg and floated in the air.
She was worriedly looking at He Zhan who was constantly struggling in the water, and then looked at the boulder around her that brought her a huge sense of oppression, and her heart became more and more bottomless.
"Where did the snake king go, didn't he say that he was waiting for us here, why don't you see anyone now?"
"Snake King, hum!"
The boy sneered: "It's just a wall grass, what can you do here?" ”
He Zhan can't swim at all. Just now he was still being pursued by a strong enemy, hiding in a dark room thinking about countermeasures, and before he could be happy when he saw Xue Qing, he saw a dazzling white light flash on her body, and then lost consciousness.
It felt like he was no stranger, and every time the woman ran away with him, there would be a brief few seconds of blank in his mind.
Then the endless enemies behind you will disappear, and what appears in front of you is often an unsuspecting ordinary person who is allowed to be slaughtered.
Unexpectedly, when he regained his consciousness this time, he fell into such a strange water. He didn't catch his breath and almost choked to death.
After a freak struggle with his hands and feet, he finally felt something soft but bulky under his feet.
He breathed a sigh of relief and carefully straightened himself up in the water. Xue Qing, who was thinking about how to clean up the water that caused him to fall into the water, inadvertently glanced down at the life-saving thing he was stepping on.
A huge snake head was slowly rising from under the water, and a pair of sly eyes were staring at him.
The giant python carried He Zhan's body to the surface of the water, and the treasure generally sent him to the boy's eyes, and his flattering tail kept beating the water.
He Zhan gasped for breath and looked up at the two ill-intentioned ghosts above his head. There was no expression on his face, and he kept cursing the Three Character Sutra in his heart.
Only the part above his chest is exposed~ the surface of the water, most of his body is still immersed in the water, the cold water is constantly hitting his body, and the huge water pressure makes it very difficult for him to breathe.
"Where's your knife?"
Xue Qing asked him in an unkind tone, her face was full of disgusted expressions, as if saying a word to him was an insult to herself.
Knife?
yes, where's my knife?
As soon as the thought came to him, he felt something hard in the icy water hit his lower back.
It's my knife.
The thought popped into his mind for no reason, leading him to reach out and grab the machete beside him.
"Here."
He raised his machete high and shook it at Xue Qing in a flash: "What are you looking for it?" ”
"See that stone?"
The boy in Xue Qing's arms pointed to the boulder behind him: "There is a person in there, you go and help us kill him." ”
"Why should I listen to you!"
He Zhan laughed contemptuously, lowered his head and stroked the cold blade: "A little rabbit cub, I can finish you off with one sword." ”
The moment he grasped the hilt of the knife, the fear of almost drowning just now vanished. The thought of fighting and killing reoccupied his mind, as if as long as he had this knife, he had nothing to fear.
The boy's face changed, and he forced a stiff smile that hung on his ugly face.
"Isn't this a deal between you and Xue Qing?"
A sharp child's voice came from overhead, and there was cunning in his tone that only a scheming middle-aged man could cultivate: "You made an appointment before, she will help you take revenge, and you have to help her kill someone." Now that your revenge is almost over, it's time to help us kill the man first. ”
"It's right that this is my deal with her, but what does it have to do with you?"
He Zhan looked at Xue Qing's disgusted expression, and all kinds of vicious thoughts about concocting her were churning in his mind. As for the boy who was talking to him, he didn't really care.
Anyway, it's just a little cub, how big a splash can it make?
"Because these are my plans, she's just helping me carry them out. After all, you can see that I'm not very easy to move. ”
"Really?"
He Zhan stared at Xue Qing's eyes and asked her word by word, "Is this what he said, do you want to listen to him?" ”
Xue Qing didn't speak, just hugged the boy in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
"I'm not done with my revenge, and I can't help you kill people now."
He waved the knife in his hand and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "And the ones in the operating room." They're the main thing, and I'll save it for the last one to enjoy. The previous ones were just appetizers. ”
"I think the same as you, the best things have to be saved for the last to be enjoyable."
The boy looked down at him, with a strange temptation ~ bewitching power in his childish ~ tender children's voice: "Since this is the case, then help us finish things first, and then go back to enjoy the final feast slowly without any pressure, how about it?" ”
It's not because I want to save them for last, I'm just scared of that thing at the door of the operating room.
But if you think so, it's a good thing.
He Zhan said secretly in his heart, with a contemptuous and confident expression on his face: "Sounds a little interesting, but we said before that we would help me avenge first, and then help you kill." Now that you're going to let me help you in advance, shouldn't you pay something else? ”
"What do you want?"
A hint of disgust flashed in the boy's eyes, and his patience, which was not too much, was rapidly disappearing, but his mouth was still full of promises: "As long as I can do it, I can promise you." ”
"Help me get rid of the two guys who are following me."
"No problem, I still have a few accounts to settle with them. Even if you don't say it, I'm going to clean them up.
"Well, there's one more condition...... I want personal. ”
He Zhan raised the knife in his hand and nodded at Xue Qing, his unkind gaze lingering on her towering chest.
"Since you said she was going to listen to you."
He licked~ his lips, and his breathing was a little heavier: "Then this little thing shouldn't be difficult." ”
The boy glanced back at Xue Qing's ugly face, ignoring the thin nails pinched on his waist, and the slow tone was slowly seducing~ bewildering, so that the listeners involuntarily gave birth to countless beautiful reverie: "Of course it's not difficult." When things are understood, she will be yours. ”
Ignoring Xue Qing's surprised and angry expression, he nodded at the giant python below: "This beast can send you to that person, he is defenseless now." All you have to do is give him a stab in the heart. Like you've been doing tonight, it's simple. ”
"No problem."
He Zhan gave a thumbs up to the top of his head, raised his head and whistled, lewd~ smiled and shouted to Xue Qing: "Baby, obediently wait here for me to come back." ”
Before he could finish shouting, the python swung its body vigorously and swam with him towards a dark gap under the boulder.
It wasn't until his figure completely disappeared from sight that Xue Qing withdrew his gaze and asked dryly, "What do you mean?" ”
Before the boy in her arms could answer, she continued, "I don't have that disgusting ......."
"Just lie to him. There's no way he'll come back alive, so what's the point of worrying? ”
The boy leaned into Xue Qing's ear and whispered to comfort her: "Or do you blame me and you get angry because of my words?" Don't make a fuss, you're so cute, how can I be willing to give you away, don't you say? ”
"That's pretty much it."
Xue Qing rolled her eyes, her eyes regained a bit of joy, and her tone was still cold: "You'd better do what you say, otherwise, see how I clean you up." ”
A terrible and desperate roar came from the other side of the boulder.
