It was late autumn, and the wind and rain were cold. The night was completely shrouded in the forest.

In the middle of the White Lotus Swamp, there is a meadow that rises to the surface, and on it is a simple deadwood hut carved out of the wind spirit.

Inside the house, a bonfire was burning, and a wine jug was boiling on it. Ye Qingcheng sat alone in front of the bonfire, holding and teaching Xiao Wu to read and write, but Xiao Wu was far less obedient than the fire, it sat on Ye Qingcheng's feet, looking at the words in the book, and the freshness only lasted for a while, and then he dozed off groggyly.

Outside the door, a dark red blood shadow puppet, holding a scythe, stood as cold as a sculpture in the autumn rain, cold and silent.

It didn't take long for Liu Beishui to walk in wet with the Cold Star Spear. He had no prey in his hands, only a white beast skull. He put the strange beast skull in front of Ye Qingcheng and said, "Does Big Brother know what this is?"

Ye Qingcheng took the rotting white beast skull, it was the size of a wine jar, in a triangular shape, a bit like the head of a snake python, and the skull was also covered with dense small holes that were thinner than the tip of a needle, as if it had been eaten by Gu worms.

"It's supposed to be a snake's head, but I can't tell what kind of snake it is. Ye Qingcheng said.

"This thing, it's everywhere in the swamp, and I don't know what it was slaughtered for. Liu Beishui said and picked up the wine jug on the fire.

............

An hour later, they drank some warm wine, chatted for a while, and then fell asleep against the wooden wall.

Outside, the cold rain was already falling endlessly, and there was no movement in the cold night except for the sparse sound of rain. A cold wind mixed with crushed rain poured into the simple wooden house, blowing the bonfire incessantly.

"Po, po, po, ......" A strange and extremely slight sound, mixed with the chaotic sound of rain, came from the surrounding white lotus swamp.

Ye Qingcheng opened his eyes suddenly, carefully distinguishing the strange sound in the rain. At this time, Liu Beishui also woke up alertly, and he also heard this sound, and said, "The sound of bubbles?"

Ye Qingcheng listened to this voice with a solemn expression and did not speak.

Suddenly, Liu Beishui said in surprise: "Where did the blood puppet go?"

Only then did Ye Qingcheng realize that the blood shadow puppet that had been guarding the door. However, when he turned his eyes to the doorway, it was empty except for the darkness and the autumn rain hidden in the darkness.

Liu Beishui immediately picked up the Cold Star Spear, Ye Qingcheng put the sleeping Xiao Wu and Lihuo in the bamboo basket, carried it on his back, picked up the Xuanxue Sword and followed Liu Beishui's footsteps, and rushed out of the cabin.

In the cold rain, the night was dark, and the white lotus swamp that was silent in the darkness disappeared in an instant after Ye Qingcheng and his two brothers came out.

There was only endless cold rain, still falling on the swamp.

However, the Blood Shadow Golem is not missing, it is walking on the shallow water of the swamp with a hideous bronze scythe, turning its head to find something.

The Blood Shadow Golem is a "living puppet" that Yu Chiyan has been refining for half a year, and it is like a ghoul, with the simplest hunting habits. Its blood spirit core has familiar breaths such as Ye Qingcheng and Liu Beishui, once it is released, without the control of Ye Qingcheng's mental power, it will perform two things, one is to hunt all the strangers who come close, and the other is to protect the safety of Ye Qingcheng and the others, and clear out the dangerous things around.

It has no mind, but it is the most loyal, effective, and ruthless weapon of killing.

However, it cannot be released in many cities, villages and towns, otherwise it will cause disaster. At the same time, it has the most magical characteristics, which can absorb blood spirits in hunting and constantly improve its strength. It is a golem that can evolve.

Although its strength was only equivalent to the cultivation of a junior martial king, it was a precious personal treasure of Ye Qingcheng, and it was also the most precious gift that Yu Chiyan left him.

"There's something at the bottom of the lake!" Ye Qingcheng saw that the Blood Shadow Puppet was constantly searching, and said with a frown: "This place is really not an ideal place to live. Let's leave early. ”

"Don't you wonder what is hidden at the bottom of the lake?" asked Liu Beishui.

"Sometimes curiosity kills. Ye Qingcheng said calmly: "We are not familiar with that kind of voice, you are injured again, my strength is not enough, don't delve into it." ”

However, just as they tried to leave, the Blood Shadow Puppet walking on the swamp not far away unexpectedly swung the bronze scythe in his hand and slashed at the swamp ferociously.

A miserable scream of "sprinkling !!" came out in an instant, and at the same time, where the bronze scythe was cut, a stream of blood spurted out of the water.

"Snake scream!" Ye Qingcheng immediately heard this voice.

In the darkness, the cold rain kept falling. The Blood Shadow Golem stooped down from the swamp muddy water and pulled out a strange snake head the size of a wine jar with a pile of coronal sarcomas on its head. Then, in the blood-stained muddy water, a one-foot-long, thigh-thick black snake headless body rolled out chaotically.

"What kind of snake is that?" Ye Qingcheng turned his face and asked Liu Beishui.

"You're a beast trainer, you ask me?" Liu Beishui asked rhetorically.

"Okay. Ye Qingcheng smiled helplessly and said, "When Master arrived in Hengyang Kingdom, he told me about the beasts in the Forest of No Return, but there is no such snake. However, looking at its strength, it should not be on the upper level. ”

A beast that does not rank up cannot be called an allied beast, nor is it a fierce beast, and for them, there is hardly any danger.

After the head of the strange snake was cut off, the corona-shaped sarcomas on the top of its head immediately exploded into a purple mist, enveloping the blood shadow golem.

"Poisonous smoke?" Liu Beishui said vigilantly.

"This strange snake is generally poisonous. Ye Qingcheng said.

However, this poison has no effect on the Blood Shadow Golem. It is a dead thing, without flesh and blood, some poisons that are not very corrosive, it can be ignored.

"It looks like a false alarm. Liu Beishui carried the cold star spear and said, "It's just a strange snake—"

Before he could finish his words, he swallowed in his throat. Because, the strange "pop, pop" sound that disturbed their sleep seemed to be resurrected, and once again resounded on the swamp hundreds of miles wide. This time, they figured out the source of the sound, but they were terrified!

On the shallow water where the rain fell, the turbid yellow, egg-sized terrifying snake eyes quietly opened, and every pair of eyes opened would make an extremely subtle "pop" sound. Looking at the entire swamp, all the strange snakes hidden in the mud were once again awakened by the screams of the slain strange snakes. The swamp, which was hundreds of miles wide, instantly turned into a vast starry sky full of vast "yellow stars"!
