Chapter 5: Transcendence comes at a price
"Xue An!"
Li Yu exclaimed in a low voice.
But soon, Li Yu saw clearly that Xue An's face did not change and let the monster bite him, and there seemed to be a golden and blue color spreading around his neck, like steel casting.
He bent his arms and twisted around the demon's neck.
"Click......
After the muffled sound, the demon's head tilted, and his neck was directly twisted, and he died violently on the spot.
Li Yu was completely stunned.
In just a few snaps of the fingers, it is simply inhumane to do this!
As a result, at this moment, Xue An, who had simply ended the battle, suddenly stumbled and showed a painful look on his face.
Li Yu said worriedly: "Xue An, what's wrong with you?" β
Xue An stabilized his body and hurriedly said, "Don't come near me!" β
Li Yu looked intently, only to see a gray-black mist lingering on the surface of Xue An's body, and a pale flame appeared above his head, revealing handwriting.
"Inhuman (Xue An)"
"There is ...... again"
Li Yu looked at the handwriting in shock, and suddenly saw that the word Inhuman was fading, and the pale fire swayed, and the whole began to distort.
"Uh...... Yes! β
Xue An showed a hideous expression, and a low roar like a beast drowning came out of his throat.
He seemed to be in extreme pain, enduring something.
The handwriting that Li Yu's eyes saw became more and more distorted, and suddenly, it seemed to be about to be converted into other words.
According to Li Yu's previous speculation about his own peeping eyes, it can see the essence of some things, which is very likely to be closely related to treachery.
So what we are seeing now means that something is in violent conflict, and it is possible that even the essence has been changed?
Li Yu was shocked in his heart.
Suddenly, Xue An's arms swelled violently.
They seem to have grown in a circle, with knots of flesh and muscles all over their bodies, and they are also golden and blue, and they look like they are made of steel.
Immediately afterwards, the bones of the whole body made a clicking sound, and the body seemed to be a few inches taller, becoming more burly and strong.
The pale firelight condensed the writing on it.
γGolden Demon Body (Remnant)γ
Some black ink like tattoos spread out from Xue An's neckline, constantly climbing up his neck.
These things are life-like and constantly swallow the gray and black mist around them, as if they are about to burst out of their bodies.
The pale firelight condensed the writing on it.
"Black Tiger Blood (Remnant) (Boiling)"
Boils?
Li Yu was shocked in his heart, Xue An was acting in such pain because the blood in his body was boiling?
Xue An's eyes were round, and his eyeballs seemed to be about to come out of it, and they were bloodshot and extremely terrifying.
At this time, he was full of a solemn aura, giving people a sense of threat far greater than the few demons he had killed before.
Thankfully, after a while, his state finally began to calm down, and everything was back to its original state.
Li Yu's tense spirit was relaxed, his eyes swelled with obvious stinging, and all the handwriting disappeared suddenly.
Li Yu couldn't care about his eyes, and hurriedly asked, "Xue An, what happened to you just now?" β
Xue An sat on the ground and sweated profusely: "This is the price of becoming an alien." β
"The price?"
"Yes, the transcendence you keep saying you want to pursue has a price."
Li Yu said: "Will it be as painful as you just now?" β
Xue An smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If only it was pain, it would be good to become an alien at one or more costs, for example, shortened lifespan, and for example, inexplicable pain, mutilation, madness, and even curses, but it is not worth mentioning compared to the last one, that is, falling into demons!" β
Li Yu was surprised: "Fallen into demons? Could it be ...... That's how those demons we just met came about? β
Xue Andao: "It's hard to say, some are, some aren't. β
Li Yu said: "Xue An, tell me the truth, in this world, are there many secrets that ordinary people don't know?" β
Xue An was helpless: "Is this question important?" β
Li Yu said: "Of course it's important, otherwise I'll be confused when I enter the demon's lair later." β
Xue An hesitated for a while before he said gloomily: "If the little Hou Ye wants to know all this, go and ask the Hou Ye yourself, the little one once swore that he would never say it."
But there is some truth in your words, and when you go inside, you still have to know some basic rules to protect yourself.
Little Hou Ye, listen, some of this kind of place is dangerous, some are peaceful, it is difficult to generalize, I didn't want to gamble before, and I didn't have to gamble until now.
If we're lucky, we'll go back there for the wedding feast, get drunk, and get out safely.
In the various strange stories arranged by those poor and sour literati, isn't there also a bridge where a talented man meets a ghost in a barren mountain, don't keep wondering what is under the human skin, it's the same when you blow the lamp anyway.
Wait a minute, we should eat, we should drink, we should not behave differently, and we should not do things that are out of place or out of place. β
When he said this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "I don't know when the little marquis secretly investigated these things, and he is still so curious, but listening to a small persuasion, sometimes, it's not a good thing to know too many things!"
I didn't want to tell you this before, because I was afraid that you would not be able to act in this drama if you knew what was going on in your heart, but since you can even deceive me, there is no problem in dealing with those demons, continue to pretend to be confused, and play them well! β
Li Yu was silent and did not refute, he didn't expect that the transcendence of this world would be like this.
It is not a cultivator who asks, feathering and soaring, and completing the transformation from a human to an immortal, but an alienation accompanied by a price.
So, what will be the price of having the eyes of the truth?
This accident delayed the two of them for a while, and after Xue An recovered, he continued to lead the way in front.
After a while, the fish pond and vegetable patch appeared in front of the two of them, and the same small slope was beside them.
"It's back again."
After going around and around for so long, he still couldn't get out, Li Yu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Xue An said: "It seems that I can only go inside and have a look." β
Li Yu said: "But isn't there nothing in there?" β
Xue An said: "After you go in, you will have everything." β
Li Yu asked again: "Are you really okay?" Otherwise, let's not go inside at all, just wait here, maybe tomorrow morning the sun will come out, and everything will be over. β
Xue An said: "No, there are demons wandering here, and sooner or later they will encounter them again." β
Li Yu said: "If you encounter it here, it will look strange and easy to stimulate the appearance?" β
Xue An said: "Yes, our current identity is a guest, and the guests are not eating well inside, what are they doing when they come out?"
And didn't you find out, little marquis? We walked for so long, and the moon still hung there, and time never passed.
If you don't go in, I don't know how long it will take for a new change. β
