Chapter 247: Self-inflicted

The wind kept howling in my ears, and the sky seemed to be a little darker. In this outskirts www.biquge.info of the county where all the residents and tourists suddenly disappeared mysteriously, only Ye Yu and the veiled woman stood on the empty street, letting the wind and sand wreak havoc around them.

All of them...... ...... are all dead?? What is this woman talking about??!

Ye Yu stared at the veiled woman in front of her in disbelief, and even had a feeling that she was listening to the Arabian Nights, while the woman seemed to be completely unimpressed by Ye Yu's surprise, and opened her mouth again.

"Look at you, you obviously don't believe me, do you? But that's okay, I think you'll soon realize what's going on. The woman sneered, stretched out her hand and pointed at Ye Yu's feet.

Ye Yu stiffly lowered his head and looked in the direction the woman pointed, but saw that on the street floor covered with thin sand under his feet, strange lines with dark red fluorescence seemed to faintly appear, and these lines intertwined with each other, winding towards the depths of the street.

This pattern...... Is it a circle?? How does it feel like ...... What you saw in that memory......

Although a certain memory was not far away for him, but it was actually quite old, suddenly flashed in Ye Yu's mind, and the woman looked at Ye Yu's uncertain expression, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became a little thicker.

"Oops, looks like you've finally remembered something." The Veiled Woman smiled maliciously. "Since you have seen that kind of sacrificial ritual with your own eyes, you should be very familiar with this kind of magic circle on the ground, it is a necessary thing to refine the blood keystone~"

Refine...... Refining the Bloodkeystone!?

The amazing words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, exploding in Ye Yu's brain in an instant! The magic circle with a strange red light, the desperate and struggling slaves, and the hellish scene, the ancient memory pictures from the king of Loulan thousands of years ago crossed in front of Ye Yu's eyes like a marquee, and also made Ye Yu cold from the head to the bottom of his feet in an instant.

I remember...... That memory...... There was this kind of magic circle in the memory of King Loulan! Those slaves died in this strange circle!

"You...... What the hell have you done to the people of this county!? Ye Yu raised his head with a pale face and shouted at the veiled woman.

"Hahaha, don't you understand? Since you know that this circle is a special magic circle for refining blood keystones, you should also know what is the most important raw material for making those blood keystones, right? The woman laughed, and with a slight movement of her fingertips, she felt a piece from her waist. Don't you want to know where the people here go? Well, they're all here. ”

A blood-colored ruby flashed between the woman's fingers, although it was only a glimpse, it was enough to make Ye Yu tremble.

It's a Blood Keystone!! The woman...... That woman actually sacrificed the lives of everyone in this county town to create a blood keystone!!

"No, it can't be...... How could it be ......! Ye Yu shook his head, and the shocking facts made his brain go blank for a moment.

All living people, all living creatures, were instantly sucked up and turned into nothingness in this magic circle that covered the whole city, and all this was staged in just three hours, even around oneself! However, he was unaware of this, which made it difficult for Ye Yu to accept it no matter what.

"Liar...... You lie!! I'm also in this county, why am I okay? Ye Yu asked loudly.

"This can only be explained by the fact that exorcists with special physiques like you are not affected by the circle, but it doesn't matter, you're going to die anyway, do you know why I'm so clear about the Blood Keystone?" The woman's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a faint cold aura in her dark pupils.

"We've been chasing it for a long time, whether it's about the Blood Keystone itself, or about you, Ye Yu the Expulsor!"

Before the words fell, a white light suddenly flashed between the woman's palms, and then, Ye Yu saw a white blade with a cold light coming towards him! In an emergency, Ye Yu hurriedly dodged to the right, just rubbing his scalp to avoid the dagger that the woman stabbed at him.

"Oh, you're not bad, are you? But you can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime. The woman smiled, but the murder weapon in her hand did not stop, only to see her figure move, and once again a backhand waved at Ye Yu!

Bangβ€”β€”!

In a hurry, Ye Yu picked up a wooden stick from the ground in embarrassment and resisted a woman's attack.

"You...... I've been chasing the Blood Keystone...... And me? Could it be that you are a 'devourer' person!? Ye Yu finally realized something.

"Hahahaha, didn't you come here to find us this time? So we simply invite you into the urn and let you play a role before you die. The woman flicked her dagger like a preyman, like a predator playing with her prey.

"What do you say...... What is the meaning?! ”

"Hehe, don't you think that we only refine the Blood Keystone in this small county town?" The woman sneered coldly. "Whether it's the man surnamed Lou or the other so-called elite team members, in the eyes of our 'devouring', they are just materials for making blood keystones! At this time, I'm afraid they have already fused with the Blood Keystone just like the people here! Hahaha! ”

"You said that Lou Yue and the others have ......!! No! I don't believe ......!! ”

"Believe it or not, I think you'll see in the news tomorrow that several cities have been empty overnight." The woman looked down indifferently at Ye Yu, whose face was pale, and said. "Of course, only if ...... You'll live to that time! ”

The dagger struck at Ye Yu's face again, fast and ruthless, and the wind and sand in the sky seemed to be showing signs of aggravation, which seriously blocked Ye Yu's vision, and it became difficult to deal with it.

No, if you continue like this, you will be played to death by her! Gotta find a way......

Ye Yu dodged the woman's attack left and right, and was unconsciously forced to retreat from the middle of the road into a dead end. Luckily, however, he found that there was a huge compound in the cul-de-sac, and the gate of the courtyard was opened. The desperate Ye Yu could only grasp this last straw, and took advantage of the interval between the woman's attacks to dodge into the gate of the courtyard.

"Oopsβ€”β€”!"

Hearing only a burst of "bang-la-la" breaking sound, Ye Yu, who had just rushed into the gate, almost tripped over the gravel piled up on the ground, and he was shocked to realize that this courtyard was full of unfinished tombstones, and the broken tablets were piled up in the yard horizontally, looking particularly gloomy in the darkening sky and dusty sand, and at first glance there was an illusion of a mass grave.

But at this moment, Ye Yu can't take care of it so much, compared to the dominatrix behind him, those harmless tombstones look much cuter in his eyes, and for Ye Yu, those obstacles on the ground may be able to stop the woman's footsteps.

However, Ye Yu's naΓ―ve fantasy was quickly shattered by the sound of breaking through the door, and the moment the woman's figure appeared at the door, Ye Yu hurriedly fled into a row of rooms in the backyard without looking back.

There is no light in the room, the light is dim and unclear, the stones are piled up in the room one after another, and many marble carving tools are scattered on the ground.

Ye Yu threw away the tattered wooden stick, picked up a small shovel from the ground, and tinkered with it in the darkness for a while, and then tiptoed to hide behind a pile of rubble in the corner.

He knew his situation very well, in the previous confrontation, he saw that the woman's skills were far higher than his own, he could only be played with by the other party like a mouse, if he wanted to save his life, it would never work to fight hard, and if he wanted to escape, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape for a while, so for Ye Yu, the choice was only ...... That one.

Bang β€”β€”!

The door of the room was kicked open, and Ye Yu didn't need to look to know that the "main master" had been chased and killed. He took a deep breath and tried to press his beating heart, listening with bated breath behind the rubble.

One-step...... Two-step ...... Very good, come here, come to me!

Ye Yu listened to the footsteps from far and near, silently judging the other party's position in his heart, and the other party's actions seemed to be just as he expected, after all, he had deliberately left footprints on the ground before, in order to guide the woman to that position - the trap that Ye Yu specially prepared for her.

In fact, as early as the moment Ye Yu entered the room, he was keenly aware that there were two stacks of rubble and rubble in the corner of the room, which happened to form an encirclement in the direction, but it was not obvious in the darkness, as long as the target was introduced into the encircled area, and the time was right to push down the rubble pile from behind, it could become a simple trap, although it was not fatal, but it was enough for the person who was tricked to drink a pot. The most important thing is that Ye Yu can buy himself time to escape - of course, all under the premise of going well.

Smack...... Smack......

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Ye Yu nervously pinched the small shovel in his hand, quietly poked his head out and looked out through the gap in the rubble, and happened to see a figure standing next to the rubble, having already entered the trap.

It's now!!

Ye Yu's whole body immediately tensed, and he reflexively picked up the small shovel and was about to shovel it to the bottom of the rubble! However, at the moment when he first came into contact with the pile of rubble, he suddenly felt some strange palpitation, as if some alarm had been evoked in his heart, and almost subconsciously, he raised his head again and looked at the figure through the gap.

In the faint light, Ye Yu saw a familiar thin figure standing firmly in front of him through the pile of rubble.

This...... This is not the woman who is chasing me, he ...... He is......!

"Lou Yueβ€”β€”!!"

The anxious cry was filled with regret and surprise, but it was too late. I only heard a loud sound of "pounding", and the pile of rubble that was out of balance suddenly collapsed forward, and the dust stirred up engulfed the figure in an instant.

"Lou...... Lou Yue...... No, no!! ”

Ye Yu, who finally came back to his senses, went crazy and wanted to rush forward to pick up the rubble, but he suddenly felt a chill around his neck, and saw a bright dagger on his neck, and what he got was the veiled woman that Ye Yu originally wanted to plot.

"The wishful thinking is good~ It's a pity, the wrong person is calculated, hehehe...... It's self-inflicted! The woman poked her head out from behind Ye Yu and sneered softly in his ear.

"Goodbye...... Destroyer! (To be continued.) )
