Chapter Twenty-Three: The Devil at the End of the Forest

After the black coffin came out of the ground, it continued to move forward.

"I guess I was attracted by the blood on my body. This strange scene really made Ye Yan feel a little frightened. Fortunately, the black coffin didn't seem to be coming towards Ye Yan, it moved in the other direction little by little.

Ye Yan breathed a sigh of relief, at this time, the suction from the black coffin weakened a lot, and Ye Yan finally didn't have to hold the tree. Looking at the black coffin that was gradually moving away, Ye Yan's curiosity became stronger and stronger, so he decided to follow.

The black coffin was moved all the way to a lake.

"It's that blood lake, is it ......" Ye Yan and the black coffin kept a distance that he thought was safe, and did not dare to get any closer.

The black coffin moved to the blood lake that Ye Yan had just seen, and continued to enter the lake little by little, and finally sank completely to the bottom of the lake.

I don't know when, the demonic wind that has been blowing non-stop has completely stopped, and the atmosphere has become even quieter, and Ye Yan feels a burst of coolness.

Suddenly, several red rays of light came out from the bottom of the blood lake, and the blood level in the lake began to decrease, less and less, less and less, until it was almost at the bottom, the black coffin was revealed, and all the blood was sucked into the black coffin.

"What kind of youkai is that? Seeing this scene, Ye Yan had goosebumps all over his body.

It is rumored that there is a very rare spirit beast called the Blood Demon, they cannot see the light and hide in the dark and rely on blood sucking to maintain their life, but according to the records in the book, the Blood Demon only lives in the dark and evil forest in the south of the Tianqian Dynasty, and it is impossible for it to appear in this place.

"However, this place is in the dark all the year round, and the environment is so strange, maybe it is really a place where the blood demon can survive, could it be that there is a blood demon in that black coffin?" Ye Yan was full of doubts, he really wanted to go over and open the coffin to take a look, but there were so many strange things in this ghost place, so he had to be more cautious.

At this time, Ye Yan faintly heard a faint sound, which was very thin, light and very sharp, as if a baby was crying, coming from all directions at the same time. And there is a tendency for the sound to get louder and louder. Ye Yan looked up, and this look surprised him greatly, only to see a large number of blinking red eyes appear above his head, and more and more red eyes gathered from all directions.

"Grimace bat!" Under the illumination of the red light emitted from his eyes, one after another grimaces appeared in mid-air, fortunately, Ye Yan was calm enough and was not frightened by this, but recognized that it was actually a spirit beast above his head, a grimace bat.

These grimace bats constantly make that baby-like crying sound at the same time, which is especially creepy to listen to in such places. If you listen closely, it seems that a group of children are reciting a nursery rhyme:

Demon Gate, Demon Gate

A spider bites a ghost

Hell is cold, Hell is cold

Drink blood coffin to bury the moon man

Asking the sky is incapable of hate

The abyss howls and weeps ghosts

These grimace bats kept repeating this nursery rhyme, which made Ye Yan shudder. But he still knew in his head that of course it was impossible for these ghost-faced bats to make up this nursery rhyme. Ghost-faced bats have the ability to mimic human speech, and this nursery rhyme must have been learned by hearing someone read it.

The question is, where did these ghost-faced bats hear someone reciting this nursery rhyme? The Kazama Valley Demon Wind is so strong, especially at the entrance, it almost forms a wind barrier, Ye Yan has to use a lot of effort to break in, obviously, with the ability of these ghost-faced bats, it is difficult to go out and come back. If it's not Grimace Bat going outside, then someone has entered Kazama Valley and recited the nursery rhyme to Grimace Bat.

Ye Yan remembered that Mrs. Tian had told him more than once that no one had come in for too long in Kazama Valley, and all the people who came in before had disappeared, and none of them could get out alive. So, when did these ghost-faced bats learn this nursery rhyme, and are they reading it dead, or are they still alive somewhere in Kazama Valley?

Another question is, when the ghost-faced bats learn a sentence, they often only read it two or three times and then stop pronouncing it because they forget how to pronounce it, why do these ghost-faced bats repeat the nursery rhyme over and over again, and all the ghost-faced bats read it together? What do these nursery rhymes mean, and what does it mean?

All kinds of doubts were tangled together in Ye Yan's mind, and they were almost knotted.

At this moment, an even more terrifying voice came, the cry of the legendary devil.

When all the grimace bats heard this, they immediately fell silent and dispersed. Ye Yan clearly felt that there was an aura in this voice, and every vibration could hit his cranial nerves.

"It's a human voice!" Ye Yan asserted. Although this voice sounds like the cry of the devil, the aura in the voice cannot deceive people, only the voice of the spirit master will carry the aura.

"The voice was like calling me. Ye Yan walked in the direction of that voice, he was extremely eager to find a human in this place where everything was abnormal, although it was most likely an abnormal human being.

The closer you go, the louder and more miserable the devil's cry becomes. The demon wind blew again, different from the original wind in Kazama Valley, the original wind was irregularly blowing in four directions, this time the demon wind only blew in one direction, and that direction was the direction in which the devil's voice came out.

"What a strong resentment!" A few steps further on, you could see what the thing that was making the devil's cry, but Ye Yan didn't want to go any further. He could smell a very strong resentment in the air, as if there was a wronged ghost imprisoned in front of him.

Ye Yan took a deep breath, but still stepped forward bravely, and came to the end of the woods, he carefully pushed away the last branch that stood in front of him, and a pair of eyes shot over, and met with his gaze, that kind of look seemed to come from hell.

"It's human!" Ye Yan still felt the temperature of human beings from that pair of devilish eyes.

Ye Yan ran over in surprise. At this moment, the devil's cry became unusually strong and sharp, like countless sharp blades piercing his ears, almost tearing his head and making him block his ears with both hands.

But the scene in front of her made her unable to move.

A real devil stood before him, dressed in a white robe, covered in skeletons, with only long black hair reaching to his waist and a dagger in his mouth. It was the devil's cry that came from it, but not from its mouth, but from all parts of its body at the same time, including the dagger.

"This ...... Is this the devil?" Ye Yan opened his mouth wide, the blue tendons on his forehead were exposed, and he let out a cold sweat. I didn't expect that there really is a devil in this world.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, don't, I didn't see anything, I don't know anything, don't kill me......" A man's voice of pleading and crying was made by the person who had just met Ye Yan's gaze, he was on the stone wall behind the devil, his whole body was chained, his hair was scattered, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

Could it be someone imprisoned by the devil? Ye Yan thought for a moment, he was in no mood to care about him now, he could feel that the devil in front of him was not friendly, and he might do something to him at any time.

Sure enough, as soon as this thought came to his head, his neck immediately tightened, and the devil grabbed his neck. Ye Yan felt that it was difficult to breathe, and his hands instinctively wanted to break the devil's hand away, but he found that he couldn't touch the devil's hand at all, his face was flushed, and his head was already a little drowsy because of lack of oxygen.

"It's really over. Ye Yan has never been afraid of those characters who are as terrifying as the devil, but he has never learned how to deal with the real devil.

"Dark Fangs. In the midst of the crisis, Ye Yan summoned his latent spirit, "The first spirit method gnaws." ”

The Black Fang opened its mouth to reveal its two white fangs that were white in the darkness, and bit down hard at the devil's wrist, which immediately withdrew his hands. I didn't expect Ye Yan's method of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor to work.

"There is an aura. Ye Yan felt that a stream of spiritual energy flowed into his body, it should be the spiritual energy that the pitch-black tooth bit and inhaled, "This devil has spiritual energy?" Could it be ......?"

Ye Yan carefully looked at the devil in front of him again, and found that it had the same aura as the pitch-black fang, which made him confirm the thoughts in his heart, "It turns out that you are a latent spirit! ”

Ye Yan, who only had the appearance of a devil, had never seen it in any information, it should be a very rare latent spirit, and it was very likely to be a five-star latent spirit. The qualifications of the latent spirit are rated according to the star rating, the one-star latent spirit is an ordinary latent spirit, the four-star latent spirit or more can be called a high-quality latent spirit, the seven-star latent spirit is the highest level of the special latent spirit, and having a seven-star latent spirit can be said to be a once-in-a-century opportunity, the owner of the seven-star latent spirit can easily become a master of spiritual martial arts even if he is a fool, and the five-star latent spirit can be regarded as a good latent spirit.

It is impossible for a latent spirit to exist independently without being attached to the host, that is to say, Ye Yan misunderstood just now, that person was not tied up there by the devil, but that person was most likely the master of this "devil".
