Chapter 65: When the deer is young
[12 years ago]
【Abyss Corridor】
The dark night sky shimmered with dense stars, as if black silk was sprinkled with diamonds.
The late autumn winds are chilly, blowing the cloud tops high and thin.
Thousands of stars converge into a white soft light, enveloping the abyssal corridor in a psychedelic flickering aura.
In this ancient forest, everything is silent at the moment, and occasionally there is a short and rapid sound of "swish" breaking through the air, sometimes far away, but sometimes so close that it seems to be within reach, as if gently crossing the ear.
The short sound of breaking the air came from the staggered golden lights and shadows in the dark vision, like a huge dense jungle of thorns in front of them, constantly bursting with beeping electricity.
It was a group of [Electric Fox] lurking in the dark, always waiting for an opportunity.
Lu Jue squatted on the grass not far from the bushes like a young and vigorous black cheetah, his five fingers gently resting on the wet earth, as gentle and affectionate as a man caressing the skin of a young woman. Soft blades of grass rattled under his slender, white fingers. A cold air permeated his fingertips, and the blades of grass quickly condensed into a lot of moist night dew under this cold air.
His eyes were lowered, his thick and soft eyelashes covered his blue ocean-like pupils, the corners of his mouth were gently pursed down from nervousness, his brow was slightly furrowed into a higher contour, and the arch of his eyebrows was raised, sharp as a sword. In the field of vision ahead, countless short bursts of golden lightning flashed in the viscous darkness. He calmed his nervous heartbeat, adjusted his breathing, and when his body stopped shaking, as if to merge with the quiet night, he suddenly raised his eyes, and several milky white mist wrapped around his slender and powerful five fingers. The mist wrapped around his fingers as if soft white silk was stirring in the water, and then the mist quickly solidified into sharp ice edges, and quickly followed his fingers into the dirt like tiny white lightning bolts slashing into the earth.
"Hum—"
A loud, high-pitched chord sound tore through the silence of the night forest. It was as if the black brocade had been cut through a gap by the blade, and the ground quickly spun and expanded into a silver shiny [array], and countless frosts swirled with waves of qi, surging up from the ground, blowing Lu Jue's pitch-black robe into a hunting sound. And in the next moment, the dense howling in the air suddenly disappeared, and everything seemed to be submerged in the deep sea, and thousands of sounds were swallowed up in an instant, even the movement of trees being swayed by the wind. It's all slowing down, like aquatic plants floating slowly on the bottom of the sea...... In the middle of the sharp thorny shrubs, countless golden electric foxes all showed their true forms: the golden light and shadow that were as fast as lightning just now seemed to hover in the air and glide slowly among the bushes under the ultra-high slow state...... They have rounded amber eyes, smooth white soft fur, small, sharp claws, shaggy tails that are more than a foot long, and golden lightning that crackles all around them. The lightning froze in the air, enveloping their tiny bodies. Like golden transparent amber......
"Let's start devouring......" In the darkness behind Lu Jue, a deep male voice full of magnetism came from.
Lu Jue nodded, stood up after composing, arched his back, and the golden yellow carvings on his body suddenly radiated a violent light, cutting him into an extremely fitting black satin robe. The light was hazy and transparent, and he could vaguely see through the muscular body inside the black robe, his skin shimmered under the light of soul power, and the soul path gently wound around his whole body. He was carved to resemble a handsome openwork porcelain statue.
There was an explosion in the air, and a silver-white mist mixed with light and shadow struggled out of Lu Jue's broad and sturdy back like a humanoid ghost, and then split into countless small silver-white air currents in an instant, sweeping towards each electric fox, tightly wrapping them like jellyfish......
Lu Jue's young and handsome face showed a hint of a smile, however, the corners of his smiling mouth seemed to have suddenly tasted a trace of deadly poison, his teeth suddenly clenched, and a paralyzing pain like an electric shock pierced the ground under his feet, like a sharp knife picking open the soles of his feet. Lu Jue lowered his head, only to find that the array under his feet had broken in many places and was incomplete. Then, the slowed down electric foxes that seemed to float in the water began to struggle, one, two...... A series of "crackling" electric sounds exploded in the darkness, and in a few blink of an eye, hundreds of electric foxes lurking in the darkness broke free from the white airflow, and the golden lightning around them began to flicker again, and they regained their speed, which was almost difficult to capture with vision, and rushed frantically towards Lu Jue, who was already stiff and unable to move.
The last thing left in front of him was the golden lightning swarming towards him. Then, the sharp stinging pain that exploded in the bone marrow instantly shredded all of Lu Jue's perceptions.
When Lu Jue regained consciousness, it was close to dawn.
On the grass was the dew that had condensed all night, and Lu Jue lay on the ground, finding that his black robe had been soaked with cold dew at the moment, and it was bitterly cold in the morning breeze before the dawn of late autumn. The sensations of various parts of the body also gradually recovered from this sharp cold.
Lu Jue struggled to sit up, and found himself draped in a black cloak made of pitch-black soft feathers and silver threads. Lu Jue knew that this was Qila's coat.
Chira sat down on a polished stone beside him, and at this moment he raised his head slightly, and his gaze was cast into the distant night sky.
The sky was a rich inky blue, and the horizon shrouded by the canopy of trees was gradually blurred by a faint and indiscernible light, and soon the red-hot morning sun would tear through the silent night little by little, dispelling the great cold. Therefore, the fragmentary starlight that still remained on the canopy at this moment seemed so fragile and distressing, they flickered, reflected in the beautiful eyes of Chila, whose eyelashes carried a little dew, like tears, set off the faint smile on the corner of his mouth, making him show a kind of beauty like a god.
In Lu Jue's heart, Qila has always been a god-like existence, he has never felt that Qila is like a mortal living in the world, he never seems to be happy because of anything, and he has never been sad because of anything. He's like a mirage in the sky that you'll never get close to.
Yes, mirage. When I first met him, Lu Jue felt so. Twelve-year-old Lu Jue, ragged, finally collapsed in the desert under the staggered devouring of hunger and exhaustion, and as he struggled on the brink of death, Chira appeared. Lu Jue looked at the spotlessly handsome and elegant man in front of him, he felt that he might be dead, and at this moment, it was the gods who came to lead him to the heaven where there was no more sorrow. At that time, there was not much difference between Qila and now, he was still a shocking man, and there were no traces of time on his face, as if he was a young nobleman, and as if he was an old hermit, he stood in front of him, like a magnificent mirage.
Qila squatted down and stroked the young deer's dry and cracked face. He held Lu Jue in his arms, did not get up, and did not leave. He lowered his seductive eyes, and his eyelashes surged with a dark sheen. Lu Jue smelled the sharp fragrance coming from the neckline of the lacquer, like berries hanging in the dense forest, exuding an alluring scent. Lu Jue vaguely felt that the surrounding area began to glow with golden light, the light swirled, and the sand and gravel on the ground seemed to lose its gravity and floated towards the sky, his eyes widened in surprise, and then the next moment, he saw that these dense sand and gravel suddenly regained gravity and fell towards the ground - however, these sand and gravel suddenly fell on the calm water, and thousands of ripples suddenly bloomed on the turquoise lake, and Qila didn't know when, he was already standing in the waist-deep lake, he held himself, and gently placed himself on the surface of the lake. The dry and cracked skin was instantly wrapped in the cool and warm lake water, Lu Jue sank his head and opened his mouth, and the sweet liquid like a clear spring flowed into his throat.
Since then, Lujue has become an apostle of Chira. Follow Chira from life to death - in fact, there is no danger at all, and any place where it is extremely vicious does not seem to have any threat in front of Chira. Lu Jue followed Qi La to the frozen wasteland of the far north, where there is no existence of any animals and plants except for the cold ice, he searched for and dug out a spring of non-freezing under the cold ice of ten thousand years, Qi La soaked and bathed in it, Lu Jue looked at the opposite Qi La's white and full chest, the soul circuit continued to divide and multiply intensively, he was also under the protection of Qi La, at the border of the Wind Source Inde Empire, he slashed several ancient huge soul beasts under the blade; Qi La took him to the depths of an underground cave in the southern source of the Els Empire, there was a spring that shimmered with a faint green light, and the spring water floated with extremely rare green mother duckweedQi La caught and salvaged the duckweed, crumpled them, and smeared them on Lu Jue's naked chest, and Lu Jue watched as the green duckweed turned into shimmering splinters, green into his skin, his muscles, and melted into his body. After that, his body's healing ability and anti-toxicity increased by several levels.
He has grown from an ignorant teenager to one of the most talented and promising apostles in the Grant Soul world. These long years with Qila are like a short moment of looking back. He couldn't remember what he had been like when he was a child, but Chira was still as handsome as he had been, as if time had never come near him. But Lu Jue was already a tall and sturdy adult man, and there was no trace of a child on his handsome and deep face.
Lu Jue struggled to sit up, a huge golden light array around him slowly rotated, within the scope of this array, hundreds of pure white fur electric foxes were suspended in the air, they looked like they were frozen in an enchantment that had lost the flow of time, and even the dust and leaves floating in the air were like a galaxy hovering in the universe, motionless. The golden light emitted by the huge array shrouded Qila like a god.
Lu Jue turned over and stood up from the ground, took off the black robe inlaid with phoenix feathers on his body, and gently draped it on Qi La's body, then respectfully lowered his head and stood quietly in front of Qi La.
"The electric fox almost tore your soul apart just now, you know?" Qila's voice was calm and gentle, but it seemed to be soaked in cold dew, making people feel very close to him, but far away. The corners of his lips rose slightly, revealing a smile that seemed to be absent. (To be continued.) )
