Prologue: The Shadow of the Bamboo Forest Chapter 3: Nightmare (I)
The wind and sand are getting stronger, and a boundless cliff stands proudly. At the end, there is a knife-cut notch neatly smooth, and countless quicksand rustles down like a flying spring waterfall. On the edge of the cliff, the blue-black mist slowly surged, overwhelming the sky and silently.
In front of the cliff, two unclear figures were stopping to look out, looking strangely thin and small.
"Brother Ding, we're here. It's a lot faster than I thought. A crisp sound pierced through the wind and sounded clearly.
"There is no road, and it seems that this wasteland is not endless. It's just that the core shouldn't be down here, right?" Ding Yan pointed ahead. "Something doesn't look good there..."
"Hehe, it's not below, I heard that there is the will of the origin of this world, it's a real hell, and I don't know what it's like down there. Blazing Dream said.
"That..." Ding Yan, who was hesitating, walked towards the cliff, standing steadily on the edge of the cliff, not afraid of the turbulent quicksand under his feet.
"Brother Ding, it seems that you are also the same as Meng'er, a person who is hated here, hehe..." Blazing Dream also walked quickly to Ding Yan's side, took his hand and said, "There is actually a road here, but you need its approval to be able to see the traces." 」
"Agree...?"
"Well, the beings who can come here are all spirits that have evolved in endless battles, and neither Brother Ding nor Meng'er has that kind of aura of being liked by hell, or even disgusted, of course we will not be allowed to cross here. 」
Blazing Dream paused, suddenly smiled slyly, and turned out an inconspicuous gray stone with his wonderful hand, under the slow urging of spiritual power, a distant and decaying aura gradually emanated from the stone, for some reason, it actually made Ding Yan feel dizzy for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he was already pulled by Blazing Dream onto a simple and solid wide suspension bridge.
Ding Yan looked around slightly, the blue and black mist around him was like a devouring snake hovering and entwining in every part of the overpass, and as far as his eyes could see, he could only see a few zhang away, even if he released his spiritual power, he couldn't feel more.
"How, because of that stone just now?" Ding Yan asked.
"Hmm. Blazing Dream answered, and then handed the plain gray stone to Ding Yan.
The gray stone is less than the size of the palm of the hand, warm and silky to the touch, and spotless. Ding Yan listened to Blazing Dream while playing, "This thing was given to me by the king, and he said that as long as he wore it, he would always find a way to the outside. He said my presence was too much of an eyesore and told me to fuck off with this thing. 」
"Originally, he was going to kill Meng'er, but he didn't do it by all means, and then he stuffed this stone to Meng'er and threw Meng'er out of the core. 」
"You've seen the king here!" Ding Yan was surprised.
"Well, Meng'er has felt his spiritual power, but she has never seen his face. Blazing Dream said as he took the stone that Ding Yan handed back.
At this time, a cold spiritual power suddenly attacked, and the speed of air flow was also a little faster, and a somewhat cold and arrogant voice suddenly sounded.
"Tsk, I thought there was something terrible this time, but it was two milky dolls, this disgusting smell... Outsiders... Then disappear. 」
In the fog shadow, a green light flashed towards Ding Yan and the two at great speed.
In an instant, there was already a touch of gold in Ding Yan's hand, and he suddenly used his strength to pick up the attacking object and fly away.
"Bang!"
It's just that the faint green thing made a whirl in the air, and quickly turned back into the shadows, and gradually, a strange man dressed in a black robe, with short horns on his forehead, and skin like moss, slowly walked out, and in the drooping sleeves of his robe was revealing a piece of extremely uncomfortable things, shaped like a dark green insect, straight and stiff, not like a living thing.
"Dreams... Is he the king, so inferior..."Ding Yan said to Blazing Dream after looking at the person in front of him.
"This is a ghost servant stationed at the border of the core, who was given a black robe by the king, and is a high-level spirit, but it is the lowest existence in the core. Blazing Dream said lightly.
"It's okay..." Ding Yan let out a faint breath, both disappointed and a little happy.
"This time, I won't let you wait for you to open your mouth again, just sink into hell!" Before the ghost servant's words fell, his body had already arrived in front of Ding Yan!
"Tom!"
After a heavy muffled sound, the air was no longer rippling.
"Meng'er, let's go, I'm always a little impatient when I'm near the end, this guy just let him lie there." 」
"Brother Ding, Meng'er thought... Sure enough, Brother Ding is a kind person. Blazing Dream said with some joy.
"Hmm... Maybe it's the instinct that often listened to you before.,Survival or something.,If you're not careful, you'll be merciful.。 」
Suddenly, Ding Yan's back was cold, and he turned back suddenly after flashing sideways without thinking, but he saw the sword blade in Blazing Dream's hand and slowly moved it away, while the ghost attendant who was originally knocked down by himself was holding a sharp weapon in a half-lying position.
A green silk swept through the wind and landed on Ding Yan's cheek.
A burst of heart fire instantly rose in Ding Yan's chest, and the long sword flipped over, ready to attack.
"Don't, Brother Ding, I'm fine!"
The clouds and mist locked, a slightly different size of snowflakes fell faintly, accompanied by a burst of heavy spiritual power, the snow gradually covered the sky, each petal covered on the skin of the flying flowers, all of which made people like a soul explosion, loneliness, pathetic mood blinked all over the body, making people unable to dance, difficult to clench their fists.
"ヅ!"
Under the double pressure of body and mind, Ding Yan couldn't help but fall to the ground on one knee, his eyes were a little dilated, but he still held the long sword in his hand that was divided into three points.
"Wang Xue!" Blazing Dream exclaimed.
Wang Xue! Ding Yan's heart suddenly froze, and he used the spiritual power of his whole body to let out a long roar. The roar seemed to alleviate a lot of depression in his heart, and he slowly straightened up.
"Fur~" A burst of laughter like biting the lip echoed in the valley, weird, harsh, and unpleasant.
"My king is coming, outsiders, welcome hell!hahahaha!" Although the spirit of the ghost servant was slowly disappearing in the spiritual power, he still laughed out loud, and looked even more hideous against the long wind of the valley.
Suddenly, the terrifying spiritual power came to an abrupt end, but the inexplicable mood that eroded people's hearts was still diffusing among the snowfall and flower dance...
