"Chen Yu—"

"Chen Yu—"

In a trance, Chen Yu heard a voice calling his name, but it was far and near, and he couldn't hear the direction clearly.

Gradually, the voice became faint and ethereal, and it was not long before it was no longer audible.

Only the sound of footsteps echoed in his ears, Chen Yu looked around and found that he was in a black mist that could not see his fingers.

Since there is an echo, it means that you are in a large space. Caiyun, why isn't he here?

In the black fog, Chen Yu groped around, and the surroundings were empty.

I don't know how long I walked, but suddenly there was a cold touch between the palms of my hands. He pushed, but his hands sank in, as if pressed against a spring bed.

An inexplicable irritability welled up in Chen Yu's heart, and he wanted to smash the obstacle in front of him immediately. He was so mad that he thrashed hard, but his arms were numb and his chest ached.

He became more and more impatient, and began to kick hard with his feet, but the obstacle in front of him did not move, and he still stood there.

"Damn! You want to trap me here for the rest of your life? Dream and soon you will be hacked to pieces. ”

There was ferocity in Chen Yu's eyes, and his heart moved, and the long knife burning with black flames was already in his hand. It's just that for some reason, the black flame is a little uncooperative.

This made him even more annoyed, and he scolded loudly: "Even you don't listen to me." You all want to trap me here. ”

The black flames trembled slightly, conveying the will to surrender.

Chen Yu snorted heavily, grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands, and slashed forward with all his strength.

As soon as the tip of the knife touched the barrier in front of it, it was immediately bounced back. Almost at the same time, Chen Yu's chest felt like a heavy hammer, and as soon as his throat was salty, he vomited a mouthful of blood.

He was like a wounded trapped beast, with more madness in his eyes, determined to break the damned barrier in front of him.

The long knife was raised above his head, Chen Yu shouted, and was about to swing the knife, and a soft golden light suddenly bloomed in front of him.

The black mist around him retreated a distance in fear, and a transparent glass-like wall appeared in front of him, and the part near Chen Yu was only a thin layer of white paper.

A strange pattern appeared on Chen Yu's chest, and it was from it that the light was emitted.

At the center of the motif is a seed-like object, emitting twelve golden ripples that rotate clockwise, and beyond that, four golden crows fluttering their wings like dutiful guards guarding the king.

Chen Yu lightly covered his hand over the pattern, but the seed indifferently erupted into a red light, like a slowly burning flame.

Soon, the red light grew stronger and stronger, enveloping the view.

"You're finally awake."

Chen Yu opened his eyes when he heard the sound, but saw Caiyu's somewhat haggard face, and his clear eyes were full of worry.

"What happened to me?"

"It's good to wake up, don't ask too much yet. There's something important to deal with right now! ”

Chen Yu followed her line of sight and saw that the courtyard wall was crawling with lizard-like monsters, nearly two meters long, but with a white grimace mask on their heads, there were dozens of them.

It was this strange creature that had just sneaked up.

Behind him, the oil lamp in the room had gone out at some point. There was such a big commotion, but the woman inside didn't react.

"Aliens?"

Caiyun shook her head and replied, "It's just some mountain ghosts who have been subdued by the demons. ”

Chen Yu wanted to ask again, but when he heard a "squeak", the door was pushed open, and a small embroidered shoe was the first to poke out, and then the girl who had died during the day walked out.

She grinned, but there was only Sen Ran in her dark eyes: "Brother and sister, I've been waiting for you for a long time, why don't you come in?" ”

Chen Yu and Caiyun glanced at each other and did not speak.

Another figure came out of the room, it was the girl's mother, her head tilted slightly, and she stumbled as she spoke: "High priest, save my daughter!" ”

"Oh, my daughter is dead!"

"Hey, hey!"

She suddenly covered her face with her hands, and her nearly a foot-long nail was like a sharp blade, cutting a few blood marks on her face that were deep enough to see the bone.

"It's all your fault! Why didn't you save her? ”

"My daughter died, hehe......"

"She's timid, she's most afraid of a person. High priest, beg you, be her companion! ”

The woman jerked her head up, and the separated eyelids could not wrap around the eyeballs, revealing large white eyeballs.

"The villagers of the mountains and fields have nothing of value, these, all of them are given to you, high priest, come with my daughter!"

As she spoke, she stroked her hands on her face, cutting off large patches of flesh and blood, and suddenly, she poked two fingers into her eye sockets, as if she didn't feel any pain, and suddenly pulled out a bloodstained eyeball, holding it in both hands and handing it out.

"High priest, you haven't eaten dinner yet, you can taste this, and then go on your way after eating."

The smell of blood permeated, and the mountain ghosts on the walls couldn't bear it anymore and pounced on the woman.

The sound of chewing was heard in large areas, and the woman was quickly gnawed clean of flesh and blood, leaving only a miserable white skeleton, and the upper and lower jaws were still closed one by one, as if she was saying something.

Unspeakable shock and trembling occupied Chen Yu's mind, and in an instant, monstrous anger swept through his body. He looked angrily at the smiling girl beside him, the mountain ghosts had scarlet blood on their mouths and paws, and their hideous white armor was stained with a blinding blood red, but they ignored her.

"Why, she doesn't pose any threat to you!" Chen Yu asked sharply.

"Because...... I'm so happy! ”

The girl waved her hand, and the blood-stained mountain ghosts fell to the ground on all fours, their center of gravity dropped to the extent that it was convenient to exert their strength at any time, the distinct muscles under the gray-black skin bulged, and a piercing low roar came out of their throats, ready to pounce.

"I didn't have time to pay attention to you bastards, if you were honestly squatting in the shadows, I would have turned a blind eye."

Caiyun stood up, with an indescribable coldness in her voice, "But now, I regret it." You demons are cruel and vicious, and you should not be forgiving or merciful, and if you see one, you should get rid of one at once. ”

"Who gave you the courage to dare to appear in front of me."

She moved her fingers slightly, and a red flame slowly rose from between her fingers, and the mountain ghosts seemed to have seen a natural enemy, and they scattered in all directions screaming and ignoring the girl's orders. They are agile and fast, and in the blink of an eye, they turn into white phantoms that shoot out one after another.

However, they were soon wrapped in unwillingness and despair, and slender red threads flew out from the fingertips of the colorful clouds, and the last hair came first, and there was almost no time difference before they pierced the white armor on their heads.

The Mountain Ghost Gate turned into black smoke, and it was soon wiped out.

"Cut, a bunch of useless waste, let the high priest do it himself, it is counted as a blessing accumulated in your previous life."

The girl was still smiling, the red flames of the clouds' fingertips reflected on the surface of her dark eyes.

"High Priest, I have come to negotiate with you at the command of the Lord. You are in a bad situation now, so you might as well take the opportunity to take refuge in the Lord, and only the Lord can keep your current position above ten thousand people under one person. ”

She narrowed her eyes and pointed her fingers upward, as if she had a chip in her chest.

"I was trembling when I took on this mission, after all, a cloud figure like the High Priest could easily crush me to death with the slightest movement of a finger. For this reason, I will come to you with the determination to die! ”

"I really didn't expect that your strength would be so weak now that you don't even dare to make a move easily. I'm afraid that the eyes hidden in the dark around you are almost uncontrollable, I feel wronged for you, those rat-eyed humans, when disaster comes, they still want to take advantage of the fire, completely forgetting who has sheltered them from the wind and rain, it's really not a thing. ”

"As long as you promise, I will take care of these urines and promise to return you clean!"

Chen Yu's heart moved, the anger in his heart gradually extinguished, and the little resentment against Caiyun who was not saved when he saw death also completely disappeared. It turned out that her situation had reached such a difficult point. Once the people who once worshipped her as a god, and the treacherous forces found that she was no longer mysterious and powerful, and had been reduced to an ordinary girl who had been retracted from her divine powers, unable to communicate with the sun god to send blessings, unable to answer the prayers of the people, and unable to even summon miracles. What awaits her will be an unimaginably miserable fate.

The sun god has abandoned his followers, and the people will "repay" his former apostles with tenfold anger, resentment, and viciousness.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu shook Caiyun's hand hard. Caiyun felt held by a warm and powerful hand, and the worries and sorrows of the days suddenly faded a lot, and a burst of warmth was born in his heart.

Chen Yu sneered, "After saying so much, it can be summed up in one sentence, you are afraid." I'm worried that Caiyun will kill you on the spot! ”

"As long as the high priest is willing to convert to my lord, what if my life is given to the high priest." The demon-possessed girl had her hands behind her back, her dark eyes showing indescribable fervor and a hint of imperceptible contempt.

"Your body isn't here! Let me guess, you must have hidden your body in a very secret place, and even if this puppet is really destroyed, it can be resurrected by some means. ”

The smile on the girl's face froze, and a feeling of being watched was born in her heart, only to be quickly covered up by her. But this moment of change was still captured by Chen Yu and Caiyun on the side.

"I don't understand what you're saying. High Priest, please think about it, and I'll hear you back in three days. ”

As she spoke, the girl withdrew, but she soon found herself as if she were bound by an invisible thread, unable to move even a finger.

At her feet, the slender red thread outlined a complex formation, glowing with a strange brilliance, firmly fixing her body.

"High Priest, what do you mean by that?"

Caiyun's red lips opened lightly, and he spit out two bland but murderous words: "Kill, pay for your life!" ”
