Chapter 8: The Contest in the Dark
Lu Sheng didn't know when he fell asleep on the back of the deer king, and when he woke up, it was night. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The cold moonlight swept across the land, and the sound did not know where it was blowing, making it surprisingly quiet now, and it was only when he heard that the monotonous breathing of the elk in his ears was extremely clear, and the sound made people feel uneasy.
Lu Sheng rubbed his hazy eyes, saw the deer king stopped, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"
"Look up up ... The deer king replied, and there was a king's pity for his people in his voice.
Lu Sheng followed the deer king's line of sight and looked up and saw five dead bodies hanging on a twenty-meter-high tree.
Their feet were entangled in gray-white cobwebs, hanging upside down from the treetops, and their bodies were drained of blood, and they were dried corpses, skinned and bone-covered kind.
Look at the faces of these dried corpses, their eyes are almost out of their sockets, their tongues are pulled out, their faces are deep purple, and through the tattered clothes, you can see that their bellies are hollowed out, and the moonlight is shining through their stomachs. In short, the death is very ugly.
"Who would be so cruel ... Before Lu Sheng finished speaking, the Deer King interrupted him: "The dead person is a soul warrior, and the fourth incident has happened!"
"Who did that?" Lu Sheng asked.
"I don't know if you've ever heard of the Nightmare, there's nothing in the world that he wouldn't dare to do!" said the Deer King, sniffing the air.
Lu Sheng shook his head.
"The less you know, the more you benefit from this trip. ”
"No one told me the truth!" replied Lu Sheng.
"I know, that man wants to protect you!" "The deer king became alert: "Be careful, I feel its presence!"
The deer king suddenly looked in one direction, and a dense grass was half a man high, and nothing else could be seen.
"What's wrong?" Lu Sheng asked.
"Shhhh The deer king's eyes narrowed into a line, and he looked at it quietly for a while, and suddenly turned around sharply, and his voice was out of tune: "We're in trouble!"
The deer king ran away from this direction at great speed.
What's going on there? Lu Sheng didn't think about it, he hurriedly turned his head and looked behind him, at this time, the weeds were like a sharp knife stuck straight into the ground, motionless, the more he didn't move, the more unsettling it was.
Unexpectedly, the deer king turned around again, and then Lu Sheng noticed that a black shadow flew above their heads, and the black shadow made a screeching sound in the wind, and it was a split second that it fell on their way.
The Deer King paused, and he drove the crown above his head to light up, a faint light like the light of fireflies, but it revealed the aura of a holy king.
Lu Sheng asked in a low voice, "Is it a nightmare?"
The deer king responded in a low voice: "Well, don't be afraid, hide behind my back, and I'll negotiate with him!"
The nightmare was sometimes sharp and hoarse, and its irregular voice seemed to be squeezed out of the cracks of the bones, making people tremble when they listened: "It's a pity, I feel your breath!
"Since you know it's me, then you should retreat here!, or you will be punished divinely!" replied the Deer King majestically.
"Innocent joke, I hate it when people disturb you during eating time, and you disturb me, but eating your flesh is much tastier than the flesh of those warriors!" "The moonlight could not shine on the face of the Nightmare, and this bleak light would only be swallowed up by the dark shadow, so wherever the Nightmare went, it would lose its shine in that place, and the dark shadow began to approach the Deer King.
The deer king did not flinch, its breathing became tight, and its eyes looked at the black in front of it very cautiously.
Hear the Nightmare say, "Look at your crown, it can scarcely provide light for you, there is darkness before your eyes, you are investigating me, but you cannot see my face!"
"The Crown of Lou can punish any evil force, which is why it was created. There are always some birds that take risks to taste the food, but they end up being caught by the hunter's trap and become the hunter's meal!
"Oh~ Obviously, you don't know much about me, didn't the dryad tell you that I already have an immortal body! Compared to your weak and pitiful life, the victory has already been decided! I have smelled your blood, and what is hidden behind you, it is very delicious!"
When the nightmare approached Lu Sheng, the crown of the deer king quickly brightened to the extreme, the deer king seemed to be standing in the sun, the light was like the wind, blowing the surrounding grass and trees to the side, the nightmare screamed "ah", his skin was exploded, and the nightmare had to choose to turn into black smoke and retreat.
The deer king took the light and looked around cautiously.
"Crown Lu, how much energy is left without the power of the sun's pillars?" came the sound of a nightmare floating in the air, but it was impossible to tell which direction it was coming from!
"More than enough to deal with you!" said the Deer King majestically.
"Yes, then let me feel its power that is about to run out!" Directly in front of the deer king, the air began to ripple and swirl until it condensed into a black shadow and shot over.
The Deer King gathered the remaining energy of King Lu's crown to form a powerful pillar of light, shooting towards the black shadow. The Deer King intends to deter the Nightmare and make the Nightmare mistakenly think that the Lu Crown still has a lot of energy, this practice is similar to gambling, the Deer King wants to cover up the side of the Lu Crown that is about to dry up, if the Nightmare is not deceived, then the Deer King will be miserable.
But the king of the deer fell for the trick of the nightmare, and by the light the king saw that the pillar of light was nothing but a black cloth that floated down, and the black cloth was burned to ashes, and the tree behind the black cloth was shot through the hole, and the tree fell. The Nightmare is draining the energy of the Lou Crown with illusions.
The deer king was both annoyed and regretful, because of the miscalculation, he was even more panicked, and his tail swung violently, and at this moment, a gust of wind rushed from behind the deer king.
Hearing this, the deer king turned his body and prepared to attack, but it was too late, the nightmare had already stretched out its grasp, and the next second was the moment to stab it in the stomach.
But he didn't want Lu Sheng to stretch out his hand to contact the demon grasp, their hands did not come together, because their palms produced a powerful magic energy, Lu Sheng tried his best to release all the power of his body, the two energies struck each other, and the rippling air was like ripples on the surface of the water, Lu Sheng's palm quickly condensed a water drop at this time, and when he repelled the nightmare, the water bead wrapped him like a cloth, and then instantly turned into ice, sealing the nightmare in the ice.
This magic is called an ice dungeon, and it can seal any living being, but it first requires the caster's magic to suppress the sealed creature.
Obviously, his strength could not seal the nightmare, and black smoke rose from the ice, shrouding the moonlight, making this place dim, and the voice of the nightmare and nothingness came from the air: "It's a pity that your ice prison can't lock me, the son of the water spirit lord who has disappeared for a long time! I suddenly thought of how to deal with you! Let you divide which one is me!" As soon as the words fell, the black gas descended and a cloud of black shadows descended, pounced on the deer king and Lu Sheng!
The deer king had to drive the Lu crown --- gods again, the dazzling light lit up again, and the black cloth floating down in the air was ignited and burned, in order to control the energy of the Lu crown, the deer king collected the gods and all things in time, but he didn't want to collect it at the moment, the black cloth turned over, revealing skeleton guards.
Seeing this, the deer king had to choose to give up his dignity and turn around and flee...
