Section 6: Monsters
【West of the Aslan Empire: Fukuzawa Forest Outside Town】
The moonlight flowed on the ground of Fukuzawa Town, like a slow wriggling layer of eerie mercury.
The main road is paved with brown and yellow rough rock, and at this moment it is covered with a layer of hard dark blue ice shell. The bodies of Kings and Runa on the road were wrapped in clusters of beautiful ice crystals like coral, and their faces seemed to freeze in amber, presenting a beauty shrouded in the shadow of death.
And it was a crowded post station before, but now no one is whispering. The eerie dead silence slowly swelled, filling all the space. The ground, the walls, the cloister, and the courtyard were all encased in hard ice crystals. Splattered with blood and corpses, internal organs, intestines, and blood that had just been steaming hot...... At this moment, it also slowly cools and hardens, solidifying into ice.
The smell of bloody sweetness permeated the night.
There are no lights.
The whole town seemed to be taken away by the ghosts in the shadows. This town, surrounded by thick forests, is pitch black at the moment, there is no sound, there is no heat. In the cold darkness, there was only a blizzard that was gradually raging.
All of Qi Ling's perceptual abilities seemed to be shattered into pieces. There was a sharp wind whistling in my ears, like a steel needle cutting across the metal surface, and countless high-frequency and sharp beeping strings hit the eardrums, transmitted into the mind, and turned into a tearing pain. There was a clear stabbing pain in all parts of his body, and his torso and limbs were constantly sliced as if they were being cut by a knife blade.
All the scenes in front of him shook and elongated into a blurred light, and Qi Ling's vision spread out in this wind-like high speed, and before he could see anything clearly, there was only a cloudy light in front of him—he felt that he should be held hostage by something, running at a very fast speed. It must be some kind of monster - it's certainly not a human, and it can't be that fast for a human being.
What remains in my memory is still the scene in the post station just now - although the post station at this moment has already turned into an eerie cold mound wrapped in ice and snow. When Shenyin wrapped himself in a silver-white silk blade and pulled him out of the post station to escape, Kirin happened to see dozens of sharp vines of ice and snow crystal blades that had been wildly drilled up on the frozen ground in the post station, which wantonly devoured the bodies of those soul magicians, burrowed into their scalps like snakes, and then tore them apart violently. They leap up from the soles of their feet, penetrate into the soles of their feet, and go up the calf bones and eat wildly. Dozens of rattling ice crystals, like huge living snakes, wrapped around the God Family, cutting their skin with sharp spikes, and tearing their bodies apart with violent force. Everyone was dragged into the abyss of fear by these cold ice vines.
The Shen family, which was as radiant as a god a moment ago, has now turned into a pile of lifeless pieces of meat, and the heart-rending screams seem to still remain in the cold air, and with the strong bloody qi, they swept after from behind.
Kirin couldn't help but want to vomit.
His vision gradually cleared, and he realized that he was lying on Shenyin's back, bound to her back with silver-white silk threads, and Shenyin was running away towards the dark forest at incredible speed, feeling like she was flying. Her delicate and beautiful face was now completely shrouded in a shadow of fear, and her lips were pale. "Don't you want to save them...... Qi Ling made a voice from his throat, Shen Yin didn't look back, and said coldly: "If you can't save them, they will definitely die......"
After Shenyin finished speaking, she gritted her teeth and waved her right hand forward, several white rays of light erupted from her palm, and flew towards the front, wrapping around the huge tree trunk in front of her. The ground beneath his feet was swept up by the huge air currents that flew by, like a huge scythe cutting a deep ravine. The sound of explosions sliced through the forest and into the distance, where the light grew darker and darker.
And even at such a stormy speed, the suffocating sense of fear behind him still can't get rid of it, and it is getting closer and closer.
Qi Ling turned his head, and there was a misty chaos in the distance, goose-feathered snow flakes rolled wantonly in the forest, the ground froze at an incredible speed, approaching them, and the sound of the frozen "click" of the ice sounded like some kind of monster devouring and chewing in the quiet forest.
In the white wind and snow that was chasing after him, there was a huge black shadow.
The temperature in the forest dropped rapidly, Qi Ling's hands and feet were cold, and he opened his mouth, only to find that he could no longer control his tongue to speak clearly. He laboriously uttered a few words from his throat, and when he reached his mouth, they turned into meaningless hoarse shouts. The howl of the surrounding blizzard drowned out his voice. His mind became chaotic, and the sharp cold ripped life out of his body like a sharp knife, tearing it to shreds. Qi Ling's eyes gradually closed, and he gradually lost consciousness.
"Faster, faster, I don't want to die......" He vaguely heard the distorted voice of the divine voice, as if someone had grabbed his throat, full of terrible fear.
Shen Yin could accurately sense the huge soul power emitted by the soul beast behind him, and this soul power came from the [Snow Fang] that easily killed Ligil and everyone in his own family. Soul power washed from behind like an overwhelming tidal wave. She knew she couldn't win. She had no choice but to escape.
The soul power was released to the limit, and countless silver-white threads exploded from her body in the form of light one by one, and they sped wildly forward, pulling them forward. And when she was still lucky in her heart, hoping to escape from this catastrophe, she saw the mountains rising from the ground at the end of the forest.
"No ......"
She stood there in despair, looking at the dead end in front of her, the monster behind her still approaching.
Kamion turned around in fear and stiffness, she looked at Kirin, who had fallen off her back, now lying on his back and unconscious, his handsome face was covered with a thin layer of white frost, and his straight eyebrows were covered with ice flowers. It looks like he's almost on the verge of death.
Shenyin raised his eyes to the chaotic swirling wind and snow that was approaching in the depths of the forest, and gritted his teeth.
"If it has to be ......"
The dark clouds overhead rolled rapidly, and the rumbling thunder continued to explode in the depths of the thick clouds.
Looking down from the blue night sky, the huge forest was all shrouded in a chaotic blizzard, and between each towering tree, there were dense wrist-thick white threads, intricately weaving the dark forest into a web of predators exuding the breath of death, like a huge spider leaving a white death trap on the earth.
In the dark shadows of the trees, a faint halo flickered one after another, and then mysteriously disappeared, as if countless pairs of huge pupils lurked in the darkness.
The divine voice suppressed the fear that was about to come out of his chest, and his trembling pupils stared at the approaching wind and snow.
- Don't be afraid, as long as you mobilize the soul power of your whole body and sense the speed and strength of the opponent to the greatest extent, you won't die......
——The net array that has been arranged, each silk thread can capture the flow and change of the opponent's soul power for me, as long as I calm down and sense, I can predict the direction and strength of the opponent's attack in advance......
- I don't want to die......
- Don't die...... Oh, it doesn't matter......
- Yes, it doesn't matter, it's really a last resort, I can still ......
Shenyin gradually suppressed the fear in her heart and slowly closed her eyes. She released her soul power from her body, flowing like a liquid along the white silk, and the soul power was evenly attached to every inch of the intersecting net. A giant web of predators is gradually generating.
All the subtle changes in the darkness, all the attempts to attack, all the flow of soul power, every tiny vibration, were transmitted back to her body through those spider silks. She suddenly turned into a giant monster, spreading white nerves all over the forest, and now, the whole forest was her massive body.
"It's coming!" her eyes snapped open.
