Chapter 1 The color of heaven and earth
The sky was gloomy, the wind and clouds were surging, and large dark clouds were rapidly gathering from the distant sky, and lightning was like a snake shuttling between the thick clouds.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the color of the heavens and the earth changed, the wind was fierce, and the thunder was endless.
The whole space gives a sense of oppression that is about to suffocate, and a storm is coming.
On the ground, two figures, one large and one small, were running in panic, as if there was something as terrible as a demon behind them.
"Chu'er, run!" an anxious hoarse voice shouted from the mouth of an old man with white hair.
Behind the nervous old man was a white-clothed long-haired young man, dressed in the style of ancient Chinese costumes.
"Grandpa, I can't run!"
The poor young man, as if he had collapsed, his face was bloodless, tears were shining in the corners of his eyes, and his shoes were worn out with a few cracks, and he was still being pulled forward by the old man.
"Chu'er, hold on, the red-tailed beast is afraid of water, as long as we jump into the river, we can survive!" the old man encouraged the young man while pulling the young man tightly and desperately escaping.
Suddenly, there were numbing beast roars behind the two of them.
"Whew!!"
"Whew......"
A group of demon beasts, about twenty or so, were closely chasing after them hundreds of meters away, and the demon beasts were running extremely fast, and where they passed, dust was raised.
These hordes of demon beasts are the four-rank demon beast red-tailed beasts, their bodies and appearances are as fierce as wolves, their eyes are flashing with fierce light, and the most obvious feature is that the red-tailed beasts have a long fiery red tail, which is also the name.
"Damn, if it weren't for the sake of picking this [Blood Sesame Grass], how could you provoke this group of demon animals?" the old man said with great regret, his face solemn and anxious.
The old man and the young man came from the Lu family in the Heavenly Desolate City dozens of miles away, and they went to the barren mountains and mountains with strong spiritual energy all year round to pick all kinds of spiritual herbs and elixirs, and made a living from them.
And this place is densely packed with strange peaks, there are as many precipitous peaks as a hundred, there are clouds and mist in the morning and evening, gathering the aura of heaven and earth. In this environment, it is easy to grow all kinds of spiritual things, the most common such as spiritual flowers and spiritual grass.
The mountain peaks are connected to form dense mountain forests and mountain streams, and there are often monsters hidden in them. The old man has always been cautious about picking spirit grass, but this time he encountered a valuable branch of blood sesame grass, but he didn't expect to accidentally break into the red-tailed beast's lair for a while, causing the demon group to be angry.
"Grandpa, I really can't run, woo woo......" Where has the young man seen such a scene, he was frightened by a group of red-tailed beasts behind him, tears flowed, and he sobbed.
"The river is in front of the mountain stream, you have to hold on!"
The old man shouted loudly, his right hand dragging the young man's little hand tightly and encouraging him at the same time.
"I ...... I really don't have the strength, and I ...... exhale "The young man spoke intermittently, as if he had lost his breath, and his breath was short.
"Smack!"
After the young man finished speaking, he couldn't hold on any longer, his legs were weak, his knees fell to the ground, his whole body was paralyzed to the ground, and he was dragged by the old man more than ten meters away, leaving a drag mark on the ground.
"Chu'er, Chu'er!" the old man almost shouted, looking back at his grandson who had fallen to the ground in pain.
The Red-Tailed Beasts followed closely behind, and if they did not jump into the river in time, they would be dismembered by the Red-Tailed Beasts behind them.
Under the critical situation, the old man gritted his teeth, simply picked up his little grandson and continued to run forward, he was not willing to die in the mouth of the demon beasts and become their food.
However, running with the boy in his arms, the old man's speed was much slower than before.
Shaoqing, the red-tailed beast chasing in front was only two or three hundred meters away from the old man, and at this speed, it was only a matter of time before he was caught up by the red-tailed beast.
"Is it too late?" said the old man with cold sweat on his forehead, looking at his grandson in his arms, his face filled with sadness.
"Even if you fight for this old life, you have to save this child!" At this moment, the old man made a decision in his mind.
"Drink ......"
The old man shouted suddenly, his whole body surging with spiritual light, and the speed of his steps skyrocketed instantly.
"Chu'er, you have to live by yourself!"
The old man shouted with all his might, and the strength of his whole body surged to his arm, and when the strength was condensed to the extreme, he threw the young man forward with both hands.
The boy was thrown more than a dozen meters into the air and fell into a river hundreds of meters ahead.
"Grandpa!"
The boy cried for a while, but he was helpless, and his body fell unobeyed.
"I've lived for decades and I've lived enough, come on, demon beasts!" the old man gasped, turned around, and fearlessly faced the group of red-tailed beasts that pounced on him.
The old man could say that when the oil ran out and the lamp dried up, he had no strength left to deal with more than twenty ferocious demon beasts, and he didn't blink an eye in the face of the threat of death.
"Whew......"
Seeing that the old man was no longer running away, the red-tailed beast let out a long roar of excitement.
Suddenly!
"Boom!"
A pillar of thunder and lightning connecting heaven and earth exploded in the air, and the deafening thunder suddenly overshadowed all the sounds within a radius of dozens of miles, like the wrath of the gods, causing the entire space to shake and strangely tear out a spatial crack.
This ink-black spatial crack was like a living creature with teeth and claws, and it landed in the middle of the red-tailed beast herd just right, devouring everything around it, and the red-tailed beast bore the brunt.
In just a short moment, the 100-meter area near the spatial rift turned into nothingness, forming a short-lived vacuum.
"Eliminate ...... Disappeared?" Seeing this strange scene, the old man, who was already ready for a desperate battle, was dumbfounded, and his face was full of disbelief.
However, in the old man's astonished gaze, there was a loud 'boom', and countless fragments were spit out from the spatial crack, and a powerful energy storm swept through.
Before the old man could react, his slightly old face immediately distorted, and he was swept out by the sudden storm, and his tattered body finally fell heavily to the ground hundreds of meters away, blood flowed from both ears and nostrils, his eyes were bloodshot, his consciousness was blurred, and he fainted.
When everything returned to calm, sand, gravel, mud, and severed arms and stumps were scattered all over the ground. The demon beast herd was all torn into flesh and blood shards, splashing in all directions, and the scene was terrible.
The air was filled with obscure dust and the smell of gagging blood.
"Grandpa...... Grandpa!"
Everything was settled, and the boy who had fallen into the water climbed up to the river, and ran to the old man without a half-breath. The young man cried and mourned, his eyes wet with tears, and kept sliding down his cheeks.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Hurry up, woo woo......"
The young man slumped beside the old man, crying sadly, and his little hands kept shaking the old man. However, the old man had no intention of waking up, his face was bloodless, and only a faint breath showed that he was not dead.
"That's right, Ilo!" the boy suddenly seemed to remember something, and immediately reached for his grandfather's coat pocket.
When his little hand poked out of the old man's body, a small sealed bamboo tube was held in his hand. The young man decisively pulled out the sealing stopper, and a rich aura of heaven and earth permeated out, immortal and immortal, which made people feel refreshed.
The bamboo tube contained a pale cyan liquid, which was the spiritual liquid in the young man's mouth. Spiritual liquid is a solution extracted from various spiritual flowers and spiritual herbs, which contains the essence of spiritual energy, which can be used for healing.
The young man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, hurriedly opened the old man's mouth, and poured the spiritual liquid into the old man's mouth.
