Chapter 55: Demons and Humans (Part II)
stabbed down, and what came out was blood, and Li Yunuan and Qian Anan were very frightened.
Although they suspected that this place was strange, they didn't expect it to be in the monster's body! Fortunately, they had been highly vigilant since entering the illusion realm, and did not eat the food made of its flesh and blood, otherwise they might really be trapped here forever and unable to get out.
It's just that while rejoicing, Li Yunuan remembered another incident: if all the villagers in the whole village are living in the body of monsters, why do they watch them hoeing and plowing on the hillside but don't see blood on the ground?
Could it beβ
In order to confirm her conjecture, she grabbed an iron drill on the side of the kang, inserted it into the soil hard, and then pulled it out, and sure enough, nothing came out, only a dark puddle on the ground.
"It's a dagger! The magic circle on the dagger has broken the phantom array!"
Qian Anan let out an exclamation, Master Fengluo is worthy of being the deacon of the Jade Pool Hall of Yanluo Peak, and his cultivation is really high, but the dagger with his mana fluctuation can cut through this illusion that is fake and real!
But where are they, and what is the purpose of this demon trapping them here?
The two couldn't help but fall into deep thought again.
After a while, Li Yunuan raised his head and said, "No matter what identity this demon is, and what plans it has, it traps us here, and it can't do nothing." Calm down and look for it, and you'll definitely find out the clues!"
Qian An'an had a different opinion, she supported her jaw with one hand and said: "Uncle Shi is too tolerant. The villagers are accustomed to eating the food made from the flesh and blood of the youkai, and most of them have long since become a part of its body. Since we have a dagger body, why don't we make a fuss? If that monster is injured, it will definitely go crazy and expose its true nature!"
"This ......" Li Yunuan hesitated a little, she lowered her head, and found that the place where the dagger was cut was still bubbling blood, and suddenly felt that Qian An'an was reasonable, and also took out the mandarin duck blade, and said: "Okay, let's just make a big deal about it!"
......
......
Plough over the ground, there is a blood groove on the ground, cut the kang head, all that flows out is blood, sliding through the earthen wall, the fracture presents a fleshy texture......
In the blink of an eye, the simple and clean farmhouse courtyard became like a slaughterhouse, covered with blood and smelly. Li Yunuan and Qian Anan carefully walked among the blood puddles, bringing new damage to the monster, but also trying not to let themselves be stained with blood as much as possible.
- This place is too weird, as long as you eat a grain of rice and drink a sip of water, you can never leave, and God knows if the blood of the monster on Lu Dao will also be assimilated.
Just when they were busy, they heard a crisp sound of "Bang Dong!", a clay basin fell to the ground, and the two people in the pool of blood raised their heads and saw the village chief's daughter-in-law standing at the door with a look of horror at the sight of evil ghosts, looking at them.
She looked at the courtyard where blood kept gushing out in a daze, her face was colorless, her hands trembled, Li Yunuan was about to step forward to explain, but she heard a scream from the woman, and then leaned back to the sky and shouted: "Come on! The woman from outside stabbed the ancestor! Come on!"
Ancestor?
The two glanced at each other, and sure enough, everyone in this village was assimilated by the monsters.
But there was no time to think, because of the cry of the village chief's daughter-in-law, a tight gong sounded, and the villagers got up and rushed to this side. And the eldest daughter-in-law who stopped in front of the earthen wall grabbed the sickle in the corner of the wall, and her eyes were full of hideousness!
"You sinners!"
She shouted miserably, raised her scythe, and with a whoop, cut her throat!
Blood, spurting out like a waterfall, and corpses fell to the ground with a thud. The thick blood quickly seeped into the land and was absorbed by the earth, and the wounds on the ground and on the wall that were originally bleeding began to heal, as if they were being put upside down, and in the blink of an eye, they were restored to a small farm yard with earthen walls and grass huts.
Except for the corpses on the ground, and the blood all over the ground.
The eldest daughter-in-law's blood was all drained, and her body lay on the ground, shrunken into a ball.
Even though the people in this village were part of the demons, seeing that the woman who was still hospitable at dinner turned into a dried corpse in the blink of an eye, Li Yunuan and Qian Anan still felt an unspeakable discomfort in their hearts, as if she had been killed by them.
At this time, the villagers had already gathered.
Outside the one-man high earthen wall, torches were burning, and the villagers, led by the village elders and their wives, glared angrily at the strangers.
"Look what you've done! We took you in and let you spend the night, but you will take revenge and stab your ancestors!
The old man of the village chief scolded with snot and tears, and simple hatred rolled in his cloudy eyes.
The villagers behind him also shouted together, and they cursed and scolded: "Sluts! How dare you stab your ancestors! Arrest them and bury them alive!"
"Ahem!" the village chief's wife objected, and the old woman walked out of the queue and said with her leaky teeth: "These two women naturally deserve a thousand cuts, but they also have to leave a compensation for my eldest son as a daughter-in-law!"
As soon as the old lady's words came out, the villagers suddenly looked at the two of them differently, and they suddenly realized that these were two women, two young and beautiful women.
Seeing this, the village chief coughed and said, "There have been no foreign women in the village for a long time. That's good, one will pay my eldest son as a daughter-in-law, and the other will ...... When it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, whoever contributes the most will be given a daughter-in-law to whomever family!"
"Yes!", "That's right!", "Good!", "The village chief is wise!......
In an instant, the enthusiasm suddenly rose, especially those men in the prime of life, all of them had green light in their eyes, and their laughter also had a creepy taste.
"There are only two women in them, so let's just rush forward!"
A voice shouted to arrest them immediately, but someone immediately raised an objection: "These two women know witchcraft, otherwise it is impossible to hurt the ancestors!"
But many more are reckless.
The earthen wall courtyard has been surrounded by them, and it is absolutely impossible for these two women to escape unless they fly away-
Li Yunuan and Qian Anan glanced at each other, the development was somewhat unexpected, but it was not a life of death.
Qian An'an took the lead in taking out the Hongxia Talisman, biting his finger and smearing it with blood, and the Hongxia Talisman suddenly turned into a red light and flew out, blowing up the sky with a glow, for a while, it was as bright as day, and tens of thousands of golden sparks fell with a gorgeous tail!
The villagers were stunned, and they were so frightened by this unheard-of beautiful sight that they all knelt down and begged for mercy.
I didn't expect the people here to be so ignorant, Li Yunuan and Qian Anan were also in a hurry, and immediately reacted, turned out the magic talisman, stuck it on their feet, and took advantage of the moment when the villagers were taken away by the wonders of the sky, and ran away!
......
......
It was already dark, but Su Hongye still looked serious, she looked around, and suddenly a sword flew out, slashing through a boulder in front of her.
Bang!
Boulders shattered, stone chips flew around.
Seeing this, Murong Shuang hurriedly clapped his hands and applauded, "Shizun is really powerful!"
Su Hongye sighed in a low voice, and her brows furrowed even tighter.
"The sect always thought that the Void Beast was extinct, but I didn't expect that there was still one living in this sulfur valley. It's a pity that the Void Beast ...... I may not be sure to accept it, otherwise it will be a rare harvest to bring back to the mountain gate. β
"Void Beast?" Murong Shuang was surprised.
Su Hongye explained: "The Void Beast is one of the ancient demon beasts, its body is transparent, its size is huge, and it is the most difficult to catch. And the body is self-contained. According to ancient records, virtual beasts have a docile temperament, like to be accompanied by people, and often have mortal villages in their bodies. β
"Isn't that a good beast?"
Su Hongye shook his head and said, "The nature of the void beast is indeed evilless, but all the creatures that enter its body will be gradually assimilated by it and become a part of the body. β
"Ah!" Murong Shuang was stunned when she heard this, she looked at the dead branches and strange trees around her, and said, "These ...... It's all ......."
"Yes, everything you see inside the Void Beast is an illusion. The Void Beast is a demon beast that feeds on dreams, because of the instinct of appetite, it will make the creatures that enter the body mistakenly think that they have arrived in Taoyuan Township, and once they eat its flesh and blood, they will become parasites in the body of the Void Beast...... Although the Void Beast does not eat people, it ......"
β...... This...... It's horrible......"
Murong Shuang said with palpitations, if he hadn't walked with his master, maybe he had been inadvertently deceived by the illusion in the body of the void beast and became a part of the void beast.
Looking at the barrenness ahead, Su Hongye suddenly choked his wrists and said, "Oops, Yu Nuan and An An are in danger!"
Murong Shuang was secretly happy when she heard this, but her face was sad, and she said, "Didn't they go to the left?"
Su Hongye said: "The real body of the void beast is huge, and the classics record that it has two heads! That is to say, at that fork in the road, whether we go to the left or to the right, we will eventually enter the void body! Fortunately, the body of the void beast is a world of its own, although there is aura, it cannot be cultivated. I hope they will be able to realize this subtle weirdness sooner...... If they had already eaten the food when we found them, it would be troublesome...... Once the Void Beast dies, it is parasitic on the ...... in its body Both people and things will die!"
β...... So terrible?!"
Su Hongye nodded and said, "Shuang'er, you have to remember that the most terrible thing in the world is not evil, but evil things done with a good heart. The Void Beast is loyal and kind in nature, and it deceives the world into entering its body to think it is good, but in fact it is a great evil!"
Murong Shuang nodded disappreciatively.
At this time, the smoke and dust suddenly billowed ahead, and Murong Shuang hurriedly drew his sword to defend against the enemy, but when he saw Su Hongye's "huh", he ordered Murong Shuang to let go.
It turned out that she had seen clearly that it was Li Yunuan and Qian Anan who were galloping in front of her!
As Su Hongye said, whether you choose left or right before the fork in the road, you will eventually enter the belly of the void beast.
"Divisionβ"
Finally met his companion in the desert, Li Yunuan could be said to cry with joy, but the effect of the magic talisman was too strong, they couldn't hold back for a while, and they were about to fly out, but fortunately, Su Hongye cultivated very, moved his fingers slightly, pulled out a light net, and intercepted the two!
"Finally...... I've finally met you!"
Qian Anan and Li Yunuan panted and said, the road was full of dangers, and they didn't know how many things to talk about.
Su Hongye went straight to the point, and the first thing he said after putting down the two of them was: "Have you ever eaten anything here!"
Li Yunuan and Qian Anan shook their heads and said, "We noticed that there was something strange here, but we should pay more attention, and we haven't gotten a drop of water yet." β
"That's good!" Su Hongye let out a long sigh and explained the horror of the Void Beast to them in detail, and the two of them were also glad after hearing it.
After saying goodbye to each other, Qian Anan was the most capable of acting, and in a few words, he told Li Yunuan how he found the strangeness of the mountain village and how he stabbed the virtual beast late at night, and after Su Hongye heard it, Li Yunuan's eyes were much softer.
