Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Long Night
The golden glow released by the Holy Maiden's sword was gentle, like a light in the night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The white mist around him seemed to be very frightened of this soft golden glow for some reason, and he was afraid to avoid it wherever he passed.
The girl in red looked at the hazy mist around her, her eyes were a little curious and vigilant, and she continued to walk towards the depths of Banfeng Mountain.
On the road, you can occasionally see some animal bones, which have become quite crispy under the vicissitudes of time, and they collapse like loose sand when touched.
The starlight is particularly bright in this place, in the dark mountain forest, on the mountain road in the night, the girl holds the sword of the saint, as if carrying a lamp.
Suddenly, she sensed something was wrong and turned her head to look at a bush.
She didn't notice that a demon beast was approaching, but there was indeed something there, which was very strange, could it be a cultivator?
Yu Huaji looked at the bush and thought to herself that it would be great if she could meet her fellow sisters of her Daomen.
Something poked out of the darkness of the trees, long, silvery-white in the light of the stars.
Yu Huaji's face changed, revealing a solemn look.
She could see the thing clearly, it was a human hand bone, and at this moment, the hand bone was moving strangely.
Soon, a skeleton came out of the bushes, it was a human skeleton, for some reason, the skeleton that should have been lifeless now stood in front of her eyes, as if it had been reinstated.
Looking at this living skeleton, Yu Huaji's eyes flashed with surprise, but she didn't panic because of this.
Although she felt scared, she was used to hiding her emotions since she was a child, and now she hid all her surprise and fear in the bottom of her heart, but showed a calm look.
She is a Daomen saintess, naturally with a mind far beyond ordinary people, shouldering unimaginable pressures and burdens from ordinary people, and she still remains calm in the face of such sudden demonic things.
There is no marker on the skeleton that came out of the grass to show the identity of the other party before his death, but the faint aura on this skeleton is mixed with death, which is very strange.
Yu Huaji didn't kill immediately, her beautiful eyes looked at this hideous and terrifying skeleton, and tentatively shot out a sword aura.
The skeleton's eyes were dark, and its movements were a little muddy, like a drunken drunkard, but its movements against the sword qi were very sharp.
In the face of this sword qi, the skeleton instantly raised its right arm, and its hand was clenched into a fist, and it actually broke up that sword qi forcefully!
Although Yu Huaji's sword qi casually hit out is not how powerful, but for those students of the Enlightenment Academy, they will definitely not be able to resist it, in fact, most of the cultivators on the trip to the Yubei Tomb are the strength of the peak of the Enlightenment Realm, and a small number of them are in the early stage of the Three Realms, and her sword qi is really unstoppable by ordinary cultivators.
The other party can be broken up with one punch?
This skeleton is dangerous.
Yu Huaji made this judgment, and she also found that for some reason, when this skeleton raised her hand, that mysterious trajectory actually gave her a strange feeling.
It's as if what is in front of you is not a skeleton, but a master of boxing.
Could it be that this skeleton still retains the memory of its lifetime? Or is it ...... And the fighting instinct is preserved?
Whether it's the former or the latter, there doesn't seem to be much difference at the moment.
Yu Huaji took two steps back, clenched the hilt of the Holy Maiden's sword, and looked at the skeleton.
Then she slammed her sword forward.
The Holy Maiden's Swordsmanship - Heavenly Punishment.
Her figure folded and folded in a hurry, and she was able to dodge the furious punch that the skeleton threw forward, and then the blade of the sword slashed directly at the skeleton's head from the bottom up!
At this moment, there was a green ghost fire burning in the skeleton's dark eyes!
In an instant, a power that seemed to be an aura, but was completely different from the aura, burst out on the skeleton's body!
Dingββ
The Holy Maiden Sword seemed to have encountered some obstacles, and although the Heavenly Punishment Technique had slashed those obstacles, it could no longer continue to cut off the other party's head.
Yu Huaji's expression was calm, and another sword intent burst out.
Her red clothes swayed wildly, and the wind howled!
The Holy Maiden's Sword Technique - Heavenly Crying.
The golden blade began to tremble violently, and countless golden ripples spread out in all directions.
Although those powers saved this skeleton and did not die in the first place, the stormy saintess swordsmanship is a peerless skill of the Daomen, once it gushes out coherently, no one can stop it, and this skeleton cannot be avoided.
What's more, this is still the Daomen Saintess Yu Hongyi holding the Holy Maiden Sword.
The bones shattered, and the bone fragments flew everywhere, and the bone powder was all over the ground.
The meadows on the ground were lifted, and the dead leaves around them swirled and fell, making a loud noise.
In the darkness of the night, everything returned to silence.
Yu Huaji's beautiful eyes showed a different color, she glanced at the white mist around her and the starlight in the night, and made sure that nothing else was near, before she lowered her head.
This skeleton may have been a cultivator who died in the depths of the tomb in Yubei, and it should have been a figure many years ago, but after death, for some reason, it has been revived again, and it has obtained a strange power comparable to aura.
Although I don't know if he is conscious, but the other party does retain his martial arts attainments, and the first contact did surprise Yu Huaji.
If there are a lot of such things, then even Yu Huaji does not dare to guarantee that she will be able to go out safe and sound.
It's just that why did this kind of demonic thing appear? Skeletons have never appeared in the history of Beihai, and they are even more unheard of in the Yubei Tomb, is it an unexpected gain from his trip to the Yubei Tomb?
It doesn't make sense.
Yu Huaji crushed a bone fragment, remembering the ghostly fire that flashed in the skeleton's eyes just now, and the ancient bronze ship she had seen during the day.
If it is reasonable, then the source of these strange changes is probably the bronze ancient ship.
Where did that ship come from? What was the purpose of that ship? Could it be that this strange thick white mist, this powerful skeleton, could it be caused by it?
She was currently the closest cultivator to the Bronze Ancient Ship in a straight line, and she was indeed rushing over it day and night.
If there was something terrible in that bronze ship, then she needed to find out.
In particular, as the Holy Maiden of Daomen, the strongest person on the trip to the Yubei Tomb, if there was really any strange thing in it that was difficult for manpower to resist, then she should be the first to arrive before anyone else.
Moreover, she vaguely felt that tonight's time seemed to pass a little too slowly.
As a cultivator, it was impossible for her to even get the time wrong, but the stars in the sky were still there, so why was it daylight...... Or did it not come?
How long is this night going to last?
......
......
Li Molan was sure that she had been around the campfire for a long time, and it stands to reason that it should be the stage when the sky is dark.
But in fact, the sky is still full of stars, and even the frequency of the flickering has a pattern.
He didn't know that the so-called bright night sky was just a sticker, but he could tell that the night was much longer than it had been.
There is a limit to the opening time of the Yubei Tomb, and no one does not cherish time, and neither does he.
So when he realized that the night had lasted a little too long, he stood up, patted the dust off his body, and picked up the bookcase.
He decided not to stay any longer, but to step on the white mist and continue to move towards the dark depths of the woods.
There are a lot of demon beasts in the dark forest, but Li Molan has discovered one thing, that is, before the arrival of this overwhelming thick white mist, the roar of demon beasts can often be heard in the night in the forest.
But since the white fog came, the demon beasts in the forest seemed to be much quieter, and in the end, they were even more silent, and it seemed that they had gone back to sleep early.
After three years in the depths of the North Sea, he knew quite well about the habits of demon beasts, so he thought it was strange.
The incident was a little more unusual, and most importantly, there was a faint feeling of prying in the darkness, as if there were many people hiding in the woods and constantly peeking at him.
This feeling was different from that of the cultivator named Xiao Yi during the day, Li Molan could easily feel his gaze during the day, but now his perception was very vague.
That kind of sight seems to exist and it doesn't exist.
It was the first time he had such a strange feeling, and he hadn't encountered the corpse man he met on Zi Xiaoxiao's side, or the skeleton that the girl in red had encountered, so he hadn't noticed anything strange in the Yubei tomb yet.
Just an extended version of the night, and the thick fog in the night, which is strange to say, probably not very strange.
Li Molan felt that she should be too sensitive.
He carried the bookcase on his back and held the hilt of the wooden sword in his hand to ensure his safety, and at the same time, the North Sea Dragon Elephant in the bookcase was also ready to summon it at any time and strike a blow to the thunder around him.
"Am I a little too sensitive? β
Li Molan smiled self-deprecatingly, shook her head, broke off the bushes blocking the way in front of her, and walked in the mountains and forests.
The dense fog has some effect on vision, and the darkness can give an eerie feeling, and the combination of the two can easily create a terrifying atmosphere.
Even just standing here is likely to scare the average person out of a heart attack.
Although Li Molan's mind is much stronger than that of ordinary people, she can't help but feel a little nervous.
The star in the sky seemed to twinkle every six seconds.
Has the position of the moon not changed in a long time?
The duration of tonight, it seems a little too long?
......
......
