Chapter 81: The Mural
The two of them made it all the way to the Demon Eater's lair.
The huge flag was still suppressed there, and the original silver-white flag body gradually turned black because of the absorption of the black mist, only the section near the flag still glowed with a little silver-white light.
"Entering from the waterfall in front of you is the nest of the Demon Eater, but you can't enter it without the Demon Eater." Ye Yousheng stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at the waterfall that was flowing again.
Originally, the terrain here had been destroyed during the previous battle, but now it has miraculously restored its original appearance, and it has probably changed, but this time there will be no demon eater coming out to greet him.
Qin Zhen said "um" and jumped down to the waterfall. The stream below was not very turbulent, and there were stones protruding on the water, Qin Zhen stepped on the stones in front of the waterfall, stretched out his hand to the waterfall, and sure enough, he felt the same feeling as in the city of the sun in the yellow sand.
Ye Yousheng said that the weakness of these demon devourers is water, and they can have a barrier to safely pass through the waterfall, and use the water curtain of their lair as a cover.
When there was no man's land, Zheng Yunmin and the others could also walk freely in the yellow sand, and at that time, in front of the Sun Covering Sect, they also used a wind wall crowded with yellow sand to shield them.
This may be used as a basis for judging that they are actually the Demon Devourer.
"Ah Sheng, when you were inside, you used spiritual power, right?" Just in case, Qin Zhen asked again.
Ye Yousheng jumped down with her, stopped beside her, and quietly watched her thinking. Seeing Qin Hao speak suddenly, Ye Yousheng was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Well, I used it when fighting with the demon devourers, as well as when splitting the waterfall."
"Okay."
Qin Zhen received an accurate answer, so she gently closed her eyes.
And as her eyes turned dark, an invisible chain flew out from under her throat, and as if unhindered, it passed through the waterfall and into the cave within.
After entering the cave, the chain was like a beast smelling the smell of its prey, and after turning around the cave, it found the two places where Ye Yousheng's spiritual power fluctuated, and then separated another smaller chain from the top of the chain, and locked the two fluctuations at both ends.
Sensing the positioning of the chains, Qin Zhen opened his eyes suddenly, and a cyan streamer flashed in his eyes. She reached out and pulled the invisible chain from under her throat, peeled it off, and clasped it in her hand.
The flow of the waterfall stopped for a moment.
Then, in the next second, it cracked like a glass product with a "click", shattering into countless pieces and floating in the air.
The flag guarding here sensed the aura of the black mist and was about to absorb it again. As soon as Qin Hao held his hand, those fragments turned into cyan light and flowed into Qin Hao's fingertips before they were absorbed by the flag.
"Senior sister?"
Ye Yousheng had felt the breath of devouring demons in the waterfall before, and since that flag had reacted to the waterfall, it must have something to do with the black mist.
Now that the senior sister has collected all the spiritual power here into her body, no one knows whether these will become a major hidden danger to her body in the future.
"Out of the way." Qin Hao just shook his head.
She felt a lot of familiar aura from here, and almost subconsciously collected all this spiritual power into her body.
And the moment the point of light touched her fingertips, a black bird was visualized in front of her eyes, flying into her internal organs along her blood and bones.
This little black bird, she had seen it on the ancient monument of the pot and lane.
Ye Yousheng saw that she didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask again.
In fact, the senior sister is much better than before now, and she will be willing to take the initiative to talk to him about things, and she will take him with her when she does something.
If it had been in the past, Senior Sister had to come to the Demon Devouring Lair to find something, she would definitely choose to come alone. This time, she was able to let herself come with her, and Ye Yousheng was already very satisfied.
Lost from the waterfall, the cave becomes unobstructed.
Qin Zhen and Ye Yousheng
Walked in.
"Senior sister, that painting is on the top of the cave......" Ye Yousheng was about to point out the specific location to Qin Zhen, but found that the top of the black bird mural that should have been carved was empty, and there was nothing.
"I still had it when Shen Yingyao and I came, and it didn't take long." Ye Yousheng frowned.
He didn't want Qin Zhen to lie to her, so he said, "At that time, those demon devourers were singing together, and then on the stone wall above their heads, the black bird seemed to come to life, and its feathers would glow."
As if verifying Ye Yousheng's words, Qin Hao heard the sound of wings flapping from his organs, accompanied by a few crisp birdsongs.
She realized that it was not a vision, but that the black bird on the stone wall had taken advantage of the moment the waterfall was shattered, blended in, and hid in her body, using this place as a new refuge.
Qin Zhen didn't want Ye Yousheng to worry, so she didn't tell Ye Yousheng about the situation, but just said, "It's okay, I'm not here for it."
"Hmm......" Ye Yousheng vaguely felt that Qin Hao was hiding something from him.
He only thought that this was Qin Hao's comfort, so he stood aside in disbelief and did not speak again.
Qin Zhen sighed, stood in front of the stone table where they had been, and called his name, "Ah Sheng, you come here." Ye Yousheng walked over and saw Qin Zhen pointing to the fruits on the stone table: "Is this what you ate at that time?"
He glanced at the apples on the plate, which were still red and piled there, so he said, "That's what I ate, but Shen Yingyao didn't eat it."
Shen Yingyao's trick can hide from the demon devourer, but he can't hide it from him. It's just that he doesn't have to care about whether Shen Yingyao eats a pear or not, so he didn't mention it.
Qin Hao's expression turned cold, and he put his hand on Ye Yousheng's wrist to probe the direction of the spiritual power in his body. It wasn't until he confirmed that there was nothing else in his body other than the original poison that he breathed a sigh of relief.
"These aren't apples, they're the hearts of demon eaters." Qin Zhen tapped his hand on the apple, and the originally smooth apple skin suddenly flowed down from the surface of the apple like mucus, revealing the blood-red heart underneath.
Finding their disguises punctured, those hearts jumped out of their plates, bouncing on the stone table, trying to escape from here.
Qin Hao tapped his toes, and a small formation quickly appeared from the ground, imprisoning those hearts within the range of the formation, preventing them from escaping.
"......," Ye Yousheng couldn't say a word, looking at the hearts that were still trying to break through the formation and escape. He touched his upper abdomen, and although he didn't feel anything unusual, he estimated that he wouldn't eat apples again for a long time.
"When I go back, let Heng Mingzhi help check it out." Qin Hao gently touched the top of his head, "I don't see what poison they carry, but I still can't take it lightly. If you think something is wrong, don't hesitate to let me know. Okay, Ah Sheng?"
"Okay." Ye Yousheng pursed his lower lip.
Why is he always so useless, always so careless. obviously wants to make the senior sister feel useful, but he is just causing trouble for the senior sister. Not only did it not help, but it also added to her burden, making her have to worry about herself.
Qin Hao had already walked to the depths of the lair at this time, and did not notice the complicated expression on Ye Yousheng's face.
The deeper you go into the lair, the more murals appear on the stone walls.
At first, it was just a devouring demon and a person, one person and one demon facing away from each other across the stream, and it looked like they were guarding each other.
And as the plot on the mural gradually extended, the demon eater and the human began to slowly approach.
The humans took the initiative to cross the stream and approach the Eater. And the demon devourer also began to slowly get close to humans after discovering that humans had no malicious intentions.
They brought each other to their own people.
All the people were very hospitable and friendly to the guests brought back by their own clan, and treated them with the best things.
Later, the original demon eater brought his own people to live in the human town. Two very different races get along well and live happily ever after.
There are several daily murals in the back that are all living together with demons and humans, and the story ends abruptly here, after the end of the daily murals, the stone walls behind are smooth, and it is not clear whether there is nothing painted in the first place, or someone has artificially erased this time.
Qin Hao walked to the end of the lair, it was a dead end. Chinese Net
On the stone wall at the end is the last fresco.
Eaters and humans snuggled together on cliffs, and in front of them was a town that had been wiped out, and the black tide had destroyed the town, swallowing everything up.
And when Qin Zhen took a closer look, he found that there was not nothing left in the tide, and there were several people in gray robes standing in the tide, who seemed to be not affected by the tide.
It seems that this is what they call the catastrophe.
Qin Zhen's hand slid over the mural, silently thinking.
No matter what Zheng Yunmin and Zheng Yunwan in this secret realm were, they and those in the no-man's land all said the same thing, that is, there was a catastrophe in the city of the sun.
The Occult City in the No Man's Land is the Occult City that has already had a catastrophe.
According to Zheng Yunmin's statement here, in fact, there have already been several catastrophes in the city of the sun, but they used the grand ceremony as an excuse to deceive others to help them prevent the calamity. Such a method should only block, but not solve the problem of the catastrophe at its root.
So the Holocaust struck every fifty years, and their festival was held every fifty years.
It's just that the murals here are incomplete, and it's not clear how humans and demon eaters began to swap identities. And after becoming a demon eater, why did it become a sacrifice of human beings at the grand ceremony?
Whether it is Zheng Yunwan, a human in the no-man's land, or Zheng Yunwan, a demon devourer in the secret realm, they have repeatedly mentioned sins. Perhaps this sin has something to do with their swapping identities.
