Chapter 685: Purple Bamboo Lotus Pond
"Boom!"
A strange laugh came to mind, Xiao Ning looked down, a fish-man monster composed of black gas, with a hideous face, chasing a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
The ground around was full of potholes, and there were traces of the aftermath of the battle, and there were bursts of black gas bubbling from the pits.
As far as Xiao Ning could see, there were many corpses on the ground, and only the girl who was chased by the fish-man monster remained.
The girl's face was full of panic, and she ran desperately, but she knew very well that even if she screamed her throat, no one would come to the rescue, so even if she was chased a little out of strength, she didn't call for help even once.
Once she ripped her throat open, it would only make her lose her strength faster and die faster.
So she just lowered her head, gritted her teeth and ran desperately, and her face gradually turned pale when she saw the many corpses around her.
"If you can't escape, it won't be long before the whole world will be ruled by our demon clan, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, you can't escape the fate of death. ”
"If you obediently stop and let me kill, maybe I can let you die a little more simply, and if you annoy me, you will be better off dead. ”
After all, the fish-man monster is a fish-man monster, if it is in the water, its speed is afraid that it is faster than lightning, but it is not possible on land, and it can only stimulate the girl with words, and barely hang behind, waiting for her to run anymore when she is exhausted and unable to run anymore.
As a member of the demon clan, although his strength is only at the midstream level, his physical strength is inexhaustible, and he is much stronger than weak humans.
And he is not in a hurry, killing people is just entertainment, it does not do him any good, the key is to enjoy the process, as long as he sees the panicked and frightened looks of human beings, he is happy.
Seeing this fish-man monster, Xiao Ning's face immediately sank, since he was here, he naturally couldn't watch these monsters kill people anymore.
"Hugh is rampant, eat me with a sword!"
In the midst of the shouting, Xiao Ning held the cicada sword and swooped down from a high altitude, and with the momentum of the dive, the cicada sword slashed at the fishman monster.
Xiao Ning's speed was very fast, and the fish-man monster didn't notice it at first, and was startled by the sudden explosion, and before he could react, the cicada sword had already slashed down the top of his terrifying head.
The fish-man monster let out a miserable scream, and instantly turned into black gas and dissipated.
Xiao Ning reflexively fell to the ground, looking at the dissipated black gas, but his brows were furrowed tightly.
Just now, it seemed that he had slashed the fish-man monster to death with a sword, but in fact, he had no strength in his hands at all, as if the other party had dissipated on its own.
This strange situation made him a little cautious, but the strength of the fish-man monster was only a silver high-level at most, and it did not pose a threat to him at all.
When I turned around, I just saw the girl who also turned around because she heard the movement, with a trace of astonishment and wariness on her face.
"Senior Sister Gu?" Seeing her face clearly, Xiao Ning was also a little stunned.
Xiao Ning was in the air just now, the distance was already relatively far, and the girl had been running in a roundabout way in order to escape the pursuit of the fish-man monster, Xiao Ning couldn't see her appearance carefully, but now she couldn't help but be a little stunned, the girl in front of her turned out to be an ancient spirit?
"Who are you?" It's just that the girl's face was full of doubts, as if she didn't recognize Xiao Ning at all.
Although she was puzzled in her heart, she saw that Xiao Ning didn't look like a bad person, and helped her eliminate the fish-man monster, and her mind couldn't help but relax slightly, and she gasped for breath, and the fullness of her chest couldn't help but rise and fall because of the violent gasp.
"Huh?" Xiao Ning frowned slightly.
Although the appearance of the girl in front of him is exactly the same as Gu Ling, her temperament is completely different, and her age is different from the one he knows, so it shouldn't be the same person.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ning said tentatively: "I am Xiao Ning, a disciple of the Tianlong Inner Courtyard, I accidentally strayed into this place, I don't know what happened here?"
The girl was also slightly stunned, just now she obviously heard Xiao Ning call her 'Senior Sister Gu', although she didn't recognize Xiao Ning, but she thought that Xiao Ning recognized her, but she didn't expect her tone to change so quickly.
But no matter what, Xiao Ning has no hostility towards her after all, and the girl doesn't think so much, and she can see that Xiao Ning's strength is extraordinary, if she can get Xiao Ning's help, even if she can't change the situation in front of her, at least she can help her save some of her classmates.
Thinking of this, the girl did not hide it and said: "My name is Gu Ling, and this is my sect Zizhu Nunnery." ”
"Zizhu'an?" Xiao Ning chewed on the word carefully, but no matter how he searched his intestines, he still didn't know anything about this force, so he hadn't heard of it at all.
And what he didn't expect was that the girl in front of him was really called Gu Ling, he originally thought that she was just the same in appearance, but she didn't expect that even her name was the same, which had to make Xiao Ning think deeply.
What the hell is going on? Is there such a coincidence in this world?
didn't have time to think about it, at this time, the girl Gu Ling's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears fell in an instant.
"I don't know why a lot of monsters suddenly appeared in the Houshan Lotus Pond, and everyone was unprepared, and many senior sisters and teachers were killed by them at once. Later, the master took the elders and the senior sisters who had reached silver or above to the back mountain, saying that they would re-seal those monsters back. ”
"The master had already sent a call for help before leaving, but he was worried about being intercepted by those monsters, so he asked me to run for a trip, so it was safer. It's just that before I can leave the purple bamboo forest, I ......"
Although she was very sad, her heart was not bad, and even at such moments, her thoughts were still clear, and the situation was clarified in a few short sentences.
Hearing this, Xiao Ning could basically think of what was going on here, but he didn't know what was going on with the monsters.
But no matter what, if there are really many youkai that can easily destroy a sect, this group of youkai should definitely not be underestimated, and if they are allowed to escape, it will inevitably cause a catastrophe.
"Where is the lotus pond in the back mountain? I'll rush over to see the situation now. Xiao Ning said with a solemn expression.
"In this direction, just a little further on. Gu Ling pointed out the direction to Xiao Ning, and then said with a look of expectation: "Please save the master, save Zizhu'an." ”
"I'll do my best. Xiao Ning didn't promise anything, because he wasn't sure how far he could go, so he paused, and said: "When I came, I didn't find any demonic energy on this road, just go out along here, don't let people enter here by mistake, just wait for news outside." ”
"I ......"
Gu Ling subconsciously wanted to object, her master and sisters were all fighting against demons, and if she wanted to get out of the battlefield by herself, how could she be willing?
But seeing Xiao Ning's firm eyes and thinking of his own strength, Gu Ling could only nod helplessly.
"Well, be careful yourself. ”
Xiao Ning bowed slightly and said, "Let's go." ”
Gu Ling glanced back in the direction of the lotus pond, gritted his silver teeth, stomped his foot, and quickly ran towards the outside of the purple bamboo forest.
"I hope it's still too late!" Xiao Ning didn't think too much about it, his figure flashed, and he swept in the direction of the lotus pond.
Along the way, he saw the corpses left by many Zizhuan disciples, and there seemed to be no obvious scars on the corpses, but his face was pale, and there was blood hanging from the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't see anything else. As for the corpses of those youkai, I didn't see a single one.
Discovering this strange phenomenon, Xiao Ning subconsciously stopped and looked at it, but his brows couldn't help frowning again.
"It's strange, they can't find fatal injuries on their bodies at all, except for the blood at the corners of their mouths, they look like they died of natural causes?"
He has dealt with a lot of demons and monsters in these years, but whenever he encounters demons, he is usually sucked dry of essence and died.
As for the monsters, human essence blood is of little use to them, even if they suck blood, it is just a personal preference, they prefer the feeling of slaughtering humans.
Therefore, the human beings killed by the monsters are very horrific in death, and it is difficult to even complete the corpse in nine times out of ten, but now he sees the complete opposite.
"Demonized monsters? It's not right, their essence and blood are still there, and their souls are also dissipated by themselves after death, and they are not devoured, so how did they die?"
If it weren't for the fact that all the people who died here were women, Xiao Ning would have to take off their clothes directly and take a closer look, but even if they were through the clothes, they could basically understand it, and it was certain that Xiao Ning had never met the way these people died.
"Forget it, don't worry about these for the time being, it's more important to be on the lotus pond side. ”
After settling down, Xiao Ning temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and rushed to the lotus pond at speed.
Xiao Ning hurried to the lotus pond, which had been completely eroded by demonic energy, and the lotus pond, which was originally red and green and delicate, had all turned gray and black at this time, full of weirdness. The demonic aura permeated all around, making Xiao Ning's vision a little blocked.
Xiao Ning walked towards the lotus pond, while secretly vigilant around.
It's also strange to say, except for the fish-man monster who was split by his sword just now, he hasn't seen any monsters until now, but there is a demonic aura everywhere around, indicating that the one here is very abnormal.
Soon he came to the edge of the lotus pond, and what he saw was a huge lotus pond, and the sky above the lotus pond was covered with a faint gray air, and it was impossible to see farther away.
Originally, Xiao Ning thought that those monsters should turn the lotus pond upside down, but when he came here, what he saw was full of lotus flowers, but these lotus flowers had turned gray and black.
None of these lotus flowers were affected, and if it weren't for the wrong color, they would look the same as usual.
The lotus leaves floated, and there were koi swimming happily in the pool, and those koi were also gray, but in Xiao Ning's eyes, these koi seemed to hide a hideous face under their cheerful expressions.
"What's going on?"
There are no monsters, and there are no Zizhuan disciples, everything seems normal, but it is not normal.
"Are they all killed?"
Xiao Ning didn't know to what extent Zizhu'an's strength had reached, but they relied on their geographical advantages to fight against demons, and even if they were defeated, they should be able to hold out for a while.
From Gu Ling's words, it was known that although those monsters broke out very suddenly, it was not long, and in this short period of time, even if Zizhuan and the others were unprepared, they should still have time to make some precautions.
In terms of time budget, at this time, the leader of Zizhuan should lead his disciples to fight against the demons, and it is the most critical time. (51 nets)
