Chapter 34: Dust with Light
After taking all the things, the white peach chased the stars and the moon, and ran non-stop for seven days.
The halfway way to Zhao Guohd was quite smooth, and there was neither a robbery nor an attack by jackals, tigers and leopards.
Just riding, Bai Tao relied on the guidance of the map and actually walked into a valley.
Although this valley is picturesque, the vegetation is verdant, and there are occasionally a few ape howls, which makes people want to spit out a belly of ink.
However, the mountain road is really rugged, and the weeds still grow to the height of a human, which seriously affects her running speed.
Bai Tao took a closer look at the map and compared it horizontally and vertically.
There's nothing wrong with going here, but if you don't, you'll have to spare two more days.
"No matter."
She thought to herself, and turned over and dismounted, leading the horse and cutting through the thorns.
After walking for a while, a strong wind blew in the valley, and the surroundings fell into darkness for a moment.
Bai Tao looked up and saw that there was a huge tree growing on the cliff at some point.
It is more than a dozen feet high, and the waist is as thick as eight or nine people embracing, as if it is a ladder connecting heaven and earth.
It is still a fairyland on earth, and it is now weird and terrifying.
Bai Tao retracted his gaze, clenched his short sword and continued to walk forward.
"Boomβ"
I don't know if the sound of the wind passed through what cave, but it made a strange sound that looked like a person but not like a person.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of bats swept over her head like a wide net, and then disappeared in an instant.
Bai Tao smelled the scent of the same kind.
There is a demonic spirit.
Peeling off the weeds, a long-deserted inn appeared in front of the meeting.
It seems to have been abandoned for many years, and the built Tsubaki wood is rotten, devastated by cockroaches and weasels, and the handwriting on the door plaque is difficult to decipher.
"Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?"
Out of the grass next to him came a shopkeeper, who was extremely thin, and looked like he was supported by a few skeletons.
As he spoke, the green tendons on his neck were undulating, as if there were black worms crawling inside.
Bai Tao said: "Is it okay to find faults?" β
The shopkeeper made a "click" sound on his back, and he rolled his dead eyes to look at the colt she was holding in his hand, "It's been a long time, this horse's paw should be changed, and the guest should be sharpened." β
Fortunately, the horse was controlled by Bai Tao with enchantment, otherwise he would have been so frightened that his four hooves could not be taken off at this moment.
Bai Tao tugged at the reins, thought for a while, and said, "It would be great if you would change the horseshoe, Nuo, for you." β
The reins were handed over, and the shopkeeper took it with a rotten cotton wool-like palm, and Bai Tao lowered his eyes and said, "Isn't your inn very lively on weekdays, and your hands are grinding out of bones." β
"Ah, yes, yes."
The shopkeeper still lowered his head, and he directed towards the inn, "Let's rest inside." β
"Squeak-"
The door to the inn was opened, and there was an overwhelmed sound, and it shook twice before it collapsed.
The dust kicked up the dark dampness of the old age, inhaled into the tip of the nose, and the nose could feel moldy from afar.
White Peach covered her nose.
Inside is the lobby of the inn, and in the lobby are more than a dozen villagers dressed in ragged dried corpses, with mung bean's big eyes, looking at each other with brushes.
There is a young and beautiful proprietress standing in it with a wooden cabinet.
Her face was extremely blurry, as if she had been polished by something, flat and neat, and when she saw Bai Tao, her eyes first rolled twice, "Girl, come in and sit." β
"No, you're hospitable, I don't want to be a guest."
It was too dirty inside, and Bai Tao decisively refused.
Before the proprietress could say anything, the group of villagers got up in groups, the corners of their clothes may have not been separated from the stool for a long time, they were all glued together, and when they got up, they could hear a "tearing" sound, tearing into tattered rags.
They were also very dry, their mouths were tightly closed, and the sound came from their abdomen, and the shape of their teeth could be discerned, like the fangs of bats: "Girl, come in and sit!" β
One said: "If you want to sit, you can sit, what are you still rubbing?" β
Another person: "Aren't you just here to die, the Blood Bat Valley is not so easy to enter." β
"Just one, another, another."
As he spoke, their hands continued to prolong their lives, pulling up and growing like branches, and clamping towards the white peach.
This is the first time Bai Tao has encountered a bad demon in a hundred years of demon life, she restrained her steps and forcibly calmed herself down.
"Brush-brush-"
The danger is getting closer and closer, and the white peach rolls over, temporarily avoiding the edge.
Although the visitor is not good, her three big tails are not vegetarian.
Bai Tao soared into the air with the help of his strength, flipped his wrist, waved the short sword in his hand, and slashed hard, cutting off the tentacles of those approaching hands.
The stumps are all over the ground, and they are still bouncing.
The proprietress was stunned for a moment, her eyes staring at Bai Tao, "I really didn't expect it, now that the demon clan has declined, you still have such a cultivation." β
Bai Tao saw that her real body was a bat, and said sarcastically: "I didn't expect that the demon who occupies an entire valley would be so weak. β
The bat spirit laughed, and laughed again, with some indescribable complexity and interest, "It's okay, it's okay, then you can stay and be the fertilizer of the old lady's Blood Bat Valley!" β
As she spoke, she chuckled on her back, making a cacophony of scratching her eardrums.
The terrifying thing is that the severed limbs of the group of black-clothed people are constantly growing, growing, tallening, and rising!
They swayed and swayed on the ground, reshaping and agitating to transform into more human forms.
"Click, click, clickβ" Like some kind of force surging in the waves, they all grew the same human faces, like a perfect replica, the difference was that they had no clothes, and their bodies were all rough bark.
The bat spirit said: "One life is two, two is three, three is everything, life is endless." β
Bai Tao's heart was beating.
Looking at this group of perverted things that she didn't know what they were, she couldn't wait to pour out all the things that Brother Jian had poured into her brain.
It's a pity that it's too late, and the battle of life and death can't allow her to slack off.
Taking out his unprecedented state, Bai Tao's whole body tightened little by little, like a bow that was opened, ready to attack at any time, "I'm not afraid of you." β
"Tsk, it's worthy of the Tushan Fox Clan, it's different from our bloodline."
The tail of the bat spirit rose, making people feel like falling into an ice cave, "That's it, I'll pick up your beauty skin later, and the old lady will be merciful." β
"Brush-brush-"
The strange tree man grew again, and his arms and hair covered Bai Tao like a spider spinning silk, making Bai Tao unable to escape, and there was no escape.
The white peach gritted his teeth, and the rabbit rose and fell, jumped up against the wind in the valley, and climbed to the mountain wall.
"Boomβ"
The tree hands gathered together and formed a huge fist, slamming into the mountain wall.
Behind Bai Tao, it was only a fraction of a second, countless tiny cracks were instantly filled, and a rock collapsed.
"Wasn't it arrogant just now? What about the old lady's regression, see where else you can escape? β
The bat spirit stared at the fleeing white peach with two dark eyes, and said fiercely, "Don't struggle, you are about to become the old lady's meal." β
"Boomβ"
The rock shattered again, and the dust kicked up obscured the view.
And the tree hand can also accurately attack the white peach, the white peach's back is stretched to the extreme, stretching out his foot, pointing on the tree hand and then rotating a strange arc.
The branches of the tree hand were not so sensitive, and they were stiffly knotted.
It's dangerous.
The white peach neck was cold, and he got a moment of respite.
But in this situation, she has to climb to the upper hand with a strong momentum, "Plate food? You're just a dead bat, I don't want to eat you, forget it, you still want to eat the fox, now it's the Warring States, and it's not your Spring and Autumn Festival, do you still want to continue to dream of your Spring and Autumn Festival? β
The bat spirit had a gloomy face: "When death is imminent, it is still sharp!" β
"Then you're going to kill me?"
"Good! Good! Good! β
The bat spirit was enraged by her, and the tangled tree hand didn't have time to untie it, and smacked at her with a raging reality.
Bai Tao hung in his throat and flew towards her, "There is someone behind you!" β
"What?"
The bat spirit looked back sideways, although he didn't turn back all the time, but he still let Bai Tao take a moment of space.
It makes sense for Brother Ah to say that the other demons are stupid, and she threw the short sword in her hand at the bat spirit with all her might.
Sensing the danger, the bat spirit covered his face with his hand and fell to the side, avoiding it.
"Zhengβ"
The short sword pierced into the floor, and the cold light flickered, and it sank into the wood.
The Batspirit breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had escaped, but he didn't expect her distraction, causing the group of treants to be temporarily uncontrolled by her.
Bai Tao disappeared on the mountain wall in the blink of an eye, the bat spirit hurriedly ran out, looked up, and did not see a fox shadow of Bai Tao, her eyes were split, "What about people!" β
"Poof."
Suddenly, the tip of the sword emerged from the bat spirit's chest, and the tip of the sword rotated and twisted.
"Poof, poof."
Suddenly and again the flying blood flowers, the bat spirit looked down at his chest, the flesh was blurred, and the blood was dripping.
Her pupils lost focus and fell to the ground, and the group of treemen disappeared with her.
Lan Yuan struck.
The tip of the sword that had drunk bat blood was still ticking, and there was a hint of demonic evil between Bai Tao's eyebrows.
In the same way, her heart has never beaten so fast, and the feeling of her life hanging by the moment is so thrilling, but it is also hearty when she is in charge.
Presumably, Brother saw her like this
I'll be relieved.
At this moment, the valley is windy, the withered yellow leaves are falling in the sky, light as if there is no weight, and Bai Tao feels the slightest loneliness eroding herself for no reason, which really makes her have nowhere to escape.
She was extremely cold and quiet, like a peaceful lake.
He inserted the dagger into the sheath and whistled to steer the horse over and take out the bandage from it.
If she had cried before, she would have rolled in her brother's arms crying, and she wanted to cry towards Brother Zheng.
But now...
Now she is just carefully dealing with the scars that she has just climbed and grinded on the mountain wall.
"Bang-"
There was a sound of impact inside, which made Bai Tao vigilant, and she tightened her bandage three or two: "Who's in there?" β
Anyone else?
No, I didn't hear the sound of breathing, is it a demon?
Bai Tao pulled out the short sword again, the tip of the sword hung down, and said coldly: "If you don't come out, don't blame me for having no eyes in the sword." β
