Chapter 55: Celibacy
Lu Lie was not afraid of death, and actually swallowed it in one gulp.
After swallowing this gray mass, he could not ask for anything more. The intuition in front of him was misty with yellow sand, and the wind roared in his ears, as if countless unjust souls were roaring loudly in his ears.
Lu Lie closed his eyes, and his will fell into a void of darkness.
I don't know how many lives this giant tree has been standing in the heavens and the earth for thousands of years, and how many lives have been devoured by the blood wind of this tree city.
After sleeping for a thousand years, waking up again is already a vicissitudes of life.
When Lu Lie opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a thin quilt with a slight warmth. What blood mist, strange people, and catastrophes of heaven and earth have long since left him. All that was left was darkness in the eyes and a dead silence in the ears.
Lu Lie suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart, he kicked the quilt away, jumped out of bed, and shouted, "Su Wen, Su Wen, where are you, Su Wen!?"
In this dark room, Lu Lie's feet seemed to have kicked objects such as tables and chairs. Bursts of pain came. But then he realized that he was far less injured than he had imagined. Even the two calves, which had long been turned into dry bones in the blood wind, had grown flesh and blood at this time, as if they were new life.
However, Lu Lie was looking for people's hearts and didn't care about these things, groping around in this dark room, and kept calling Su Wen's name.
No one responded to him.
The irritation in his heart gradually subsided, and Lu Lie forced himself to calm down, sitting on the edge of the bed and trying to recall what happened after he fell unconscious in the catastrophe of heaven and earth.
Why, instead of being turned into a puddle of scum by that terrible bloodstain, he woke up and lay on a bed? What carried him here when he was unconscious, what kind of place was this, Su Wen, Yang Wei, and the unknown Li Yuan and the cannibal, and what was their final end?
One question after another broke into Lu Lie's mind, causing his head to ache as if it were torn. Lu Lie hugged his head in pain, thinking of the last time he saw Su Wen's quiet face, he was already so painful that he couldn't remember it.
He stood up again, only this time, he moved, little by little, to the end of the room, on a wall.
Lu Lie secretly gasped in his heart: Fortunately, this is not a different space for ghosts. Otherwise, without the Eye of a Thousand Worlds, there is no way to escape from the Ascension.
It's not all light in these boxy rooms, it's just very rare. Countless small dots came in through the window, and since he had been here for a long time, his eyes were somewhat accustomed to the dim environment. Gradually, Lu Lie was able to see the layout of this room clearly.
The whole room was not very large, about five people wide and fifteen people long, and at the end of the room lay a large bed, from which I had just jumped. There are a lot of black square silhouettes lying crookedly on the open space, which should also be the tables and chairs that I just hit by myself.
Lu Lie turned his head to look again, and at the end of the wall, there was a tray like a small lamp. Lu Lie touched the wall and walked over, grabbed the bottom of the tray and tinkered twice, only to hear a sound, the tray actually ignited spontaneously, releasing a fire to illuminate the room.
Right now, the scene in this room clearly fell into Lu Lie's eyes.
The bed and chair are all made of black and white textured wood, which is about the color of some precious goods. The back of the chair is carved, the corner of the table is engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns, and even a whisker and a feather are angular, smooth and soft, and they are also from the hands of famous artists. On the other side of the room, a beautiful screen is hung, and valuable utensils such as coral trees and golden trees are erected under it, which makes the whole room more colorful and gorgeous.
Although Lu Lie has never been in the lobby room since he was a child, he also knows that the original owner of this room must be a wealthy family.
He didn't want to stay in the room, so he walked straight to the door and pushed open the two folding wooden doors. It's just that the scenery outside the room surprised Lu Lie even more.
I saw that I was in a big mansion at the moment, a room of the same size as Lu Lie's back, lined up in two rows, not to mention dozens of rooms, quite imposing. But this was not surprising to him, what was really completely beyond his imagination was that there seemed to be an invisible force covering the top of this mansion, tightly protecting the world below from the invasion of demonic energy outside. And on top of that, countless bloody winds mixed with broken hands and legs, whistling by, like the end of the world.
When those blood winds passed by the mansion where Lu Lie was, they seemed to feel that there were still living people below who had not been devoured. Those blood mist turned into countless distorted and resentful faces, clinging to the transparent shield, salivating and looking at Lu Lie. The giant face couldn't help but bump into the transparent shield, making a loud bang.
"Original...... The plague of blood mist in this strange city is not over yet......"
Lu Lie was also stunned for a while, muttering to himself.
More Blood Monster faces flew over the shield, not stopping at all. Lu Lie looked up, except for the pure land under his feet, the rows of houses and shops in the distance had already turned into countless ruins or razed to the ground under the boasting of the blood mist of heaven and earth.
In Lu Lie's rear, there were only a few houses left in the wind and rain. With a huge radius of 100 miles, only the mansion where Lu Lie was located was intact, which seemed even more abrupt.
Don't...... Has this city of miracles, hidden in a giant tree, been completely wiped out?
Lu Lie was shocked in his heart, he carefully climbed to the top of the mansion and looked farther away. And in the distance, there was still a huge, continuous structure that stood tall under the attack of the blood mist.
It was the towering palace complex they had seen before they entered the city.
The blood mist that spread all over the sky came from all directions, but as soon as they touched the bricks and tiles of the palace, they rushed to burrow under the foundations of the palace, and the aura disappeared without a trace in an instant, causing no harm to it at all.
From a distance, the palace complex looked like an eternal giant standing in a cave, facing the blood mist in the sky at this moment, and it couldn't help but swallow the clouds and spit out the mist.
That scene was indescribably weird and absurd.
Just when Lu Lie was in doubt, at this time, there was a banging sound at the locked gate of the mansion, and it should be that someone outside kept knocking on the door.
Lu Lie's gaze fell on the two locked doors.
It's just that at this time, all the life in this city has been eaten clean by the overwhelming blood mist, and what will be the one who knocks on the door?
Before Lu Lie could decide whether to open the door, the visitor seemed impatient, and slammed again. That person had so much strength in life, not like manpower, and the two gates trembled faintly under the smashing, as if they would not be able to support it at any time.
