Chapter 41: Tianyin in distress
"Crunch, crunch", the sound of stepping on the snow kept sounding, and Liuyun carried Xiaoli in his arms in a mountain forest. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info It's not because he's lost, it's on purpose.
Previously, when Liuyun was chatting with House Xi, he learned a strange thing from his mouth.
There is a mountain forest near the castle of Lorin in the eastern part of Sencheng Prefecture, and it is rumored that some treasure suddenly pops up there every once in a while. Many people went to hear the news, and some of them were lucky enough to get some money.
However, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and there are often treasure hunters who go missing there. But even so, this mountain forest is still entered from time to time, in a vain attempt to get a windfall that day.
And because of this strange thing of making money, this nameless mountain forest was also named "Tianyin Mountain".
Of course, Liuyun is not here to explore treasures, or to be on a whim. He arrived here for the weirdness itself. In his opinion, behind this strange thing, there may be something magical, such as a monster or something.
In fact, this is also the direction of Liuyun's previous thinking. Before, he always wanted to inquire directly about where there were monsters, but unfortunately there was no such clear information. After touching the wall a few times, he began to think backwards, since it is called a monster, it is a monster, and it may be related to some bizarre events.
Therefore, after learning about the strange situation of Tianyin Mountain, he did not choose to go straight to the capital, but took a detour to come here. In his heart, Huiyu's matter is not worth mentioning at all compared to his sister's matter, and even part of the reason why he is looking for Huiyu is to get information from him to help his sister recover.
What's more, it's not far from Sencheng County, so it's not bad to come here before going to Beijing. And after that, Liuyun also plans to go to the place where some strange talks happened on the way to the capital, so that he can search for clues to help his sister recover to the greatest extent.
Putting aside the thoughts in his mind for the time being, Liuyun walked slowly while concentrating on probing around. And his horses and parcels had already been deposited by him in an inn in Rollin City, after all, they were not needed in the mountains and forests.
Liuyun originally wanted to leave Xiaoli there, but then he thought about it, in case he encountered a monster, Xiaoli had to be there, otherwise he didn't know how to express Xiaoli's specific situation. Moreover, he didn't feel at ease when Xiaoli was left alone in the inn, so he brought it with him.
However, Liuyun overlooks the fact that not all youkai are as kind as his sister, and even most of them hate humans exceptionally.
In other words, Liuyun actually realized the danger, but the experience of killing bandits made him a little arrogant, thinking that the world was as big as it could be, but he didn't know that the monsters were not so weak.
Just when the clouds were all over the world looking for clues about monsters, there was a pair of eyes in the shadows that had already paid attention to him. And the owner of this gaze is the monster that Liuyun "never forgets".
The monster that is eyeing Liuyun is named Nie Ya, a wolf demon whose strength is comparable to that of a human monk in the Jindan stage.
Today's Nie Ya can be said to be in a very happy mood, and Guy has an unexpected "big fish" who has been hooked.
He Nie Ya took great pains to create the legend of Tianyin Mountain here, not just to let those stupid and greedy humans fall into the net, so as to absorb their essence and blood to nourish themselves.
However, because of his fear of human monks, Nie Ya rarely took the initiative to go out to hunt humans, even if it was in his "home field", he was cautious, killing some and letting some go.
However, Nie Ya didn't expect that a little monk in the foundation building period would come today. At first, he was worried that it was a human monk who came to the door, but after observing for a long time, he found that there was only one person, which couldn't help but make his heart flutter.
You know, this monk's essence blood is more beneficial to him than those ordinary humans, and besides, he has never tasted the monk's essence blood.
I don't know how it tastes, but it must be very sweet. Nie Ya looked at the flowing clouds in the forest, and licked his tongue excitedly, his dark brown pupils glowing with a faint green light.
Let's hurry up and play this game. Some of the uncontrollable Nie Ya slowly walked from behind the hidden tree to the flowing clouds, and the whole process did not leak a single sound.
At this time, Liuyun was looking around intently, and suddenly, his heart suddenly burst, and a chill rose behind him. This feeling is not due to the natural cold of winter, but to a warning in the soul.
The uneasiness of the back of the thorn drove him to turn around quickly, and at the same time "brushed" and pulled out the saber at his waist.
When the picture behind him came into Liuyun's eyes, his pupils suddenly shrank, not only because of the appearance of the comer, but also because he was only a foot away from himself, what does this mean?
"Yo, you're alert. Nie Ya looked at Liuyun who turned around and looked at it with a smile.
And Liuyun looked at the long man with beast ears and brown hair and brown eyes, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, he understood that he was a little overbearing, and the so-called "demon" was not as simple as he thought.
Taking a deep breath, Liuyun calmed down the waves in his heart, stared at the comer with some vigilance, and asked, "Who are you?"
"Hehe, is it important?" Nie Ya chuckled, and then seemed to think of something, nodding and muttering to himself with an expression of "I see", "It's really important, no matter how you say it, it's the one who kills you, oh, it's the name of the demon who kills you." En, you should know, you should know. ”
When Liuyun heard the other party's words, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly spoke: "I didn't have any malicious intentions, I just came to talk to the demon brother this time." ”
Liuyun said as he comforted Xiaoli in his arms with his other hand. She had been restless since just now, and she must have felt the other party's dangerous aura.
Nie Ya didn't care about Liuyun's slightly weird belly rubbing movements, he heard Liuyun's words, stroked his palms and laughed: "Demon brother, let's talk?hahaha, hahaha, interesting, interesting." ”
didn't wait for Liuyun to breathe a sigh of relief, and the next moment, the words changed suddenly, only to hear Nie Ya continue: "You don't have malicious intentions, it doesn't mean that I don't." ”
After speaking, he stared at Liuyun quietly, and his sharp eyes revealed a thick banter.
Liuyun secretly said that it was bad, he didn't want to conflict with the other party, so he explained sincerely again: "I really..."
Before he could finish speaking, Nie Ya's words interrupted him.
"I'll give you twenty breaths of time to escape, start now. As he spoke, he raised two fingers, paused for a while and added, "By the way, my name is Nie Ya." Remember who died at whom's hand. ”
"I..." Liuyun still wanted to work hard.
"There's only fifteen breaths left, hold on. Nie Ya looked at his slender fingers and reminded him casually, and then he glanced at Liuyun again, and said lightly, "Or, do you think this place is good as a place to bury bones?"
After finishing speaking, an invisible momentum slowly emanated from Nie Ya's body.
Feeling the suffocating sense of oppression, Liuyun put away the knife and turned his head and ran.
The person in front of him is dangerous, very dangerous, very dangerous! This is a throbbing from the depths of the soul.
Liuyun believes in this feeling, he doesn't have the heroic feelings of fighting to the death and being unyielding, and it is normal to run away if he can't fight. And Xiaoli is also with him at this time, even if he doesn't care about his life and death, he has to think about Xiaoli's safety.
In an instant, the clouds had already run away.
Looking at the swift back, the corners of Nie Ya's mouth hooked up a bloodthirsty arc.
"Hunting, begin. ”
With an inaudible whisper, the brown figure started rapidly, rolling up gusts of snow.
On the other side, the sound of "Huh~~Huh~~" rapid breathing accompanied by the exhaled white gas continued to echo in the mountains and forests.
Liuyun ran non-stop, and although he was confident in the strength of his feet, the apprehension in his heart forced him to speed up, speed up, and speed up again.
At this time, the sound of "banging" continued to approach from behind, and Liuyun's heartbeat was obviously a little faster, and he tried his best to squeeze every muscle in his body, trying to increase his speed again.
The trees on both sides flew quickly, and the cold wind mixed with snowflakes slapped on his body, but it was his heart that was colder than his body, because no matter how hard he tried, it was difficult to shake off the sound of the wind that was like maggots clinging to his bones.
As the sound approached quickly, Liuyun could even smell the sharp and dangerous aura behind him.
Suddenly, a strong wind on his back struck rapidly, and the hairs on Liuyun's body suddenly stood on end, and his muscles tensed in an instant.
It's going to die!It's going to die!
The shadow of death looms over the clouds. And under this extreme stimulation, he unleashed his potential, only to see that after he made a left oblique feint, he suddenly jumped away from his leg with a sudden force, and he avoided the fatal point.
Ignoring the scorching pain on his back, Liuyun continued to run forward.
Behind him, Nie Ya did not pursue. He brought the bloodstained finger to his lips and tasted it gently, and then a look of intoxication appeared.
He enjoyed the hunting game unusually much, and the more the prey struggled and resisted before it died, the more excited he became.
It's wonderful to be ruthlessly deprived of hope for life like this, isn't it?
Nie Ya thought about it, and couldn't help but show a bloody smile on his face.
In this way, under Nie Ya's play with cats and mice, Liuyun struggled to support it. He didn't have time to figure out why the other party didn't turn out to be straightforward, and he was currently bent on how to get out of the predicament.
The vision of the rushing clouds lit up, but this light did not represent hope, on the contrary, despair.
Looking down at the bottomless cliff under his feet, Liuyun smiled miserably.
In the end, there is still no escape?
He sighed, closed his eyes gently, and slowly opened them, the confusion and sadness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by fortitude and firmness.
Drawing his saber again, Liuyun turned to face the comer. Even if he is a trapped beast, he still has to fight against the water, but...
Glancing down at Xiaoli in Yiyi's arms, Liuyun sighed secretly. He had planned to put Xiaoli down, attract Nie Ya's attention by himself, and let her escape for her life alone. But Xiaoli clutched at his clothes, looking like she was in solidarity. Seeing this, Liuyun was helpless and had to take her with him.
Shaking his head, Liuyun collected his thoughts and stared intently at the figure slowly walking out of the bushes.
"Hmm, don't run away?" Nie Ya looked at Liuyun, who was covered in scars, pretended to be surprised and asked, and then said to himself, "Also, this cliff is so high, instead of falling into a meatloaf in pain, it is better to choose to be buried by me." It's a smart choice. ”
As soon as the words fell, Nie Ya's body instantly activated, and before Liuyun could react, his right hand grabbed Liuyun's neck and lifted Liuyun's whole person up.
Liuyun only felt that it was dark in front of him, and there was a strong squeezing sensation between his neck, and then a huge force lifted him up.
Looking at Nie Ya who was close at hand in shock, Liuyun didn't expect the other party's speed to be so fast, so fast that he couldn't even keep up with his own eyes. He didn't know that Nie Ya had been releasing water before, and it was his real strength just now.
However, Liuyun immediately woke up from his horror and swept his right hand towards Nie Ya's waist. But Nie Ya just stretched out his left hand lightly, and firmly clamped the knife that was attacking him.
"Click, click", the sound of breaking came and went, and within a moment, the knife in Liuyun's hand was actually pinched off by Nie Ya. Hearing only the sound of "dang", half of the blade fell to the ground.
And Liuyun, who wanted to continue to fight back, was directly attacked by the demonic power, and his head was dizzy, and he was no longer able to move.
Are you going to die? But, sister...
Liuyun, whose consciousness was gradually hazy, desperately wanted to speak, begging the other party to let Xiaoli go later, but the throat that was firmly strangled could only make some muffled sounds.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not in the habit of listening to last words. ”
Nie Ya's bland words reached Liuyun's ears, ruthlessly shattering his last begging.
At this moment, Xiao Li, who was in Liuyun's arms, suddenly burst out, and she suddenly burst out and bit Nie Ya's right wrist.
"Where did the little thing come from, go aside!" Nie Ya waved his left hand and was about to slap at Xiaoli.
Liuyun saw this scene, his eyes were split, and his whole body gushed out of nowhere. I saw that he held the broken knife that was about to slip in his right hand, and quickly met Nie Ya's raised left hand, and at the same time swung his waist and kicked Nie Ya's chest with both feet.
Nie Ya, who was a little careless, was slightly startled, and immediately blocked the broken knife with his left hand, while his right hand subconsciously loosened, wanting to return to defense. However, right now, this hand is pinching Liuyun's neck and can't pull it out. Under the contradiction between the two, Nie Ya's action hesitated slightly.
This momentary hesitation caused Liuyun's flying kick to hit Nie Ya's chest straight away. Before he could react, Liuyun reached out and grabbed Xiaoli, and at the same time kicked his legs hard, using his strength to break out of Nie Ya's control and throw himself into the cliff.
Anyway, there is death on both sides, and jumping off the cliff can be said to be nine deaths, but in the hands of Nie Ya, it is certain death. As for Xiaoli, Liuyun didn't want her to become the object of Nie Ya's anger, and if she jumped off the cliff, she could still give her a cushion or something.
Nie Ya came back to his senses, unable to fly, he could only watch a man and a fox fall sharply, and he didn't dare to go down this kind of cliff that could be called a cliff.
"Damn!!" Nie Ya's angry roar echoed through the air...
