Chapter 5: The Devil's Smile
The black tide that obscured the sky and the sun surged, and the sunlight was rendered black, and the huge black serpent spread its six wings and swam in the air.
The Six-Winged Celestial Serpent, one of the Nine Great Divine Beasts of Antiquity, is said to have appeared when darkness revived and enveloped the earth. The Book of a Thousand Feathers records that the six-winged serpent once uttered: "When I appear, black clouds will cover the sun, and all the alien species should die." β
What's even more photographable is that there is still a person sitting on the head of the six-winged celestial snake, he looks down at the earth with dark red eyes, and the corners of his mouth are hooked with satisfaction with a smile, and he always keeps that smile, which is the smile of a demon from a distant wilderness.
In this world, how much is real and how much is fantastic, real and false, but there is a difference between a thought. Like the little boy, he thought he had killed me, maybe he was fantasizing about how to use the family's winnings, but the illusion was shattered, he died, and everything came to naught.
Once upon a time, I also fantasized that my parents were not devils, they would come back to see us, but after all, it was just a fantasy, fantasy and reality, it was just a thought, if you think about it, your parents will never come back, not even to say a last word like "float, take care of your sister".
Looking at the moonlight through the window, I recalled some fragmentary pictures from my childhood, those pictures were so warm, but after all, they were just dreams, and when I woke up, it was this cold moonlight.
"It's time to go, Dai, brother will take you away, and when we return, it will be the day of our revenge. Piao muttered to himself, and a fierce light appeared in his pupils.
"UghβI wonder how you got here without getting hurt?" the young man appeared out of thin air and then disappeared out of thin air.
"Who?" Piao suddenly became vigilant in his heart.
"I'm behind you. The young man just wanted to put his hand on Piao's shoulder, but found that Piao in front of him was gone.
"Who are you?" Piao said.
His hand suddenly froze in the air, because behind him, a small silver lightsaber swirled in place an inch from his heart, and he had no doubt that if his answer at this time made the other party suspicious, his life would be in danger.
"I ...... I'm ......" The young man was a little panicked, he had never encountered this kind of scene before, and one sentence decided fate.
"Your spirit's name is Ethereal Spirit?teleportation, the rank is ninth, very powerful, but according to the degree of control you have over your spirit, and the speed of your body's reactions, you are only the lowest level of 'Hidden Spirit', and you are no threat to us. With a wave of his hand, the silver lightsaber turned into floating dust and drifted away with the wind.
"Remember, don't use your Spirit on others in the future, they may kill you for it. Piao said.
The young man was completely stunned, he never thought that this person would actually let him go, shouldn't the people in the outside world be like what the master said, all of them are murderers, this is completely different from what he thought, just a second ago, his worldview completely collapsed.
"Don't go any further, there's a 'ghost den' in front of you, it's very dangerous. β
"Oh, how do you know?" Piao asked.
"I'm the owner of this forest, of course I do. The young man straightened his back, as if what a glorious thing it was.
"Then why do you say it's amazing that we didn't get hurt and walked here?"
"Because this forest is full of demonic beasts, this area is only safe if it is sealed by my master. The youth said. "I know, you have the breath of the six-winged celestial snake, one of the nine great divine beasts of the ancients, so those demonic beasts dare not approach you. β
"Six-winged Celestial Serpent?" Piao was a little surprised, there was very little explanation in the records of the Warcraft, the family history records and the collection of the Sardinia Guild, but only outlining the origin of the Devil in order to consolidate his rule, suppress the rebellious exorcists, and give some fierce beasts powerful powers, turning them into demonic beasts to kill the exorcists.
"I'll explain to you later, are you lost, I'll take you to my house. The youth asked.
"Okay. "He doesn't care about himself, but he still has Dai with him, and the little guy is still sleeping on his back.
Piao followed the youth through the jungle, they walked through countless trees and bushes, and now they finally figured out why the young man was so proud of his title of 'master of the forest', if it were someone else, he would have been lost.
"Here we are, this is my home. The youth said proudly.
A simple wooden house, surrounded by huge trees, and some of the low trees next to it were tied with ropes, presumably drying racks or something.
"Alright, let's go inside. The youth opened the door.
The interior couldn't have been more shabby, with a small bed, a wooden chair, a fireplace for heating and a wooden shelf for stuffing, and an unfinished folding bed.
"Carry your sister to bed, let's go outside and talk, no one has talked to me in a long time." The youth said.
"Good. Piao nodded.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Griffin, what's your name?" said the youth.
"My name is Piao. Piao said. "What about your master? Didn't you say that your master was very good. β
"Yes, but no matter how powerful a person is, he will die, and the master is no exception. When Griffin mentioned the word 'master,' something dimmed in his eyes.
"Is he powerful?" Piao asked.
"He said that he could deal with the demonic beasts of the entire forest, and no one could stop him, so he became the master of this place. Griffin replied.
"And what do you mean by 'ghost den'?" Piao said.
"It's a terrible place, and the master told me that I can't let anyone go there, or there will be only one result, and that isβ" he took a long breath and continued, "death." β
"Why?" Piao asked.
"Because there are ghosts everywhere, and those who go in will be devoured by the devil, but they are afraid of the light, so they dare not come out, not even at night, and only when the black clouds obscure the sun, they will come back to the world. Griffin said.
"I remember you mentioned the 'Serpent' in the forest?" Piao said.
"That's right, the Six-Winged Celestial Serpent is an ancient beast that can attract black clouds to cover the sun, so I didn't dare to let you go to the ghost den. Griffin said.
"I can't see you're smart. Piao said.
"I've always been like this. β
"......." was suddenly speechless.
"Wait a minute," a strange guess flashed through Piao's mind, "do you understand snake script?"
"Of course, I'm the lord of the forest, and I know everything about cats and dogs. Griffin patted his chest in agreement.
"What does 'Pelo' mean in snake language?" Piao asked.
At this time, there was a huge wave in his heart, just now Griffin said that he had the breath of the six-winged celestial snake on his body, which means that he has the inheritance of the six-winged celestial snake in his bloodline, and his bloodline inheritance comes from his parents. Piao feels like there's an amazing secret being uncovered by herself.
"It's 'snake servant', why, why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Griffin thought Piao's question was a little strange.
The snake servant, the servant of the six-winged serpent, is it a devil who can't see the light of day? This can explain the cause of death of my parents who became demon servants, so it is, no wonder the family has been chasing and killing me and Dai, it turns out that this is the reason.
It turns out that the people I've been slaughtering are my own kind.
A demonic smile was revealed.
