Chapter 14: I'm Not Going
"Woo, that's terrible......"
Armadillo: "? ”
"What's going on? Have you been taken away? ”
Hua Sheng, who almost stepped into the ghost gate, trembled, and had no intention of arguing with her at all, he said everything he saw.
"Vines... Ghosts...... It's not a ghost, it's so scary, it's all dead, all dead! ”
The armadillo was dissatisfied, "What the hell are you talking about?" Who died? ”
"They...... All of them. ”
Zhao Yuanling frowned, obviously not knowing what he was talking about: "Who are they?" ”
"Help me, save me!"
He grabbed her tightly, and only then did Zhao Yuanling realize that his hands were cold.
Hua Sheng swallowed, holding back the fear in his heart and trying to tell everything he saw.
opened his mouth for a long time, and finally only spit out three words: "Zifeng Mountain!" ”
"Zifeng Mountain?" The three of them looked at each other and decided to go up the mountain.
"No...... Don't go! Hua Sheng was startled and hurriedly pulled them back.
"What's the matter with you kid? He also said that Zifeng Mountain wouldn't let us go, what do you want? The armadillo glared at him disapprovingly.
Hua Sheng was terrified and said, "You can't go there, there is a demon...... There are demons! ”
"What's wrong with the demon? Aren't you also a demon? ”
"Oh, isn't it ......" Hua Sheng was so anxious that she shouted: "The treasure is a demon!" ”
Zhao Yuanling asked, "Are you talking about the Demon Pill?" ”
"Yes!"
Zhao Yuanling and Mo Bai glanced at each other, and the two of them bowed their heads.
The armadillo understood what he was saying.
"Isn't this someone handing you a pillow when you want to sleep? Let's check it out! ”
Hua Sheng was stunned in place and slowly typed a question mark in his heart, who would tell him what was going on in the minds of these people?
"Hey, I said you can't go, you'll be eaten by him!" Mo Bai turned around and threw a money bag at him, Hua Sheng looked at the five taels of silver in the money bag and was stunned, and finally he stomped his foot and chased after him ruthlessly.
A few people walked up Zifeng Mountain, and since they went up the mountain, Mo Bai felt a powerful fluctuation of demonic power, and he clenched the sword in his hand, his expression cold.
When they came to the place where Hua Sheng had spoken, there were crows chirping hoarsely overhead, and there was a deathly silence all around.
There seems to be only one color between heaven and earth - blood.
"Alright, don't go any further." Hua Sheng didn't dare to go any further, hiding behind the trunk.
One step ahead is the boundary of barren grass.
In the most central place, they saw the demon that Hua Sheng said.
Zhao Yuanling was not familiar with demons, and it was the first time he had seen such a terrifying demon, and only a wrinkled skin was left behind in the air, like a dried corpse.
She didn't dare to continue looking at it after the first glance, "What kind of demon is he?" ”
Mo Bai's expression was solemn, "It's not a demon, he's a human." ”
"People? No, no, it's definitely not human! Hua Sheng shook his head again and again in denial, "The vines that grew on his body killed all these people, and those people became nourishment...... Look at you! He was covered in white smoke, how could he be human! ”
In the barren square inch of land, the man seemed to feel something in his heart walking in their direction, and every step he took was extremely slow, with a thick black gas on his body, and the places he passed through seemed to be corroded and left burning marks.
Hua Sheng was so frightened that he cried and shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, he's coming!" ”
"Can't go." Zhao Yuanling's hands were clenched tightly, "You can't let him harm the people under the mountain." ”
Hua Sheng's eyes were glazed, and he couldn't help but tremble as he looked at the man's figure moving step by step, "Then what should I do?" ”
What to do? Zhao Yuanling didn't know what to do, she subconsciously looked at Mo Bai.
At this time, the armadillo, who had not spoken, suddenly said loudly: "He is not a human or a demon, he is a demon!" ”
"Demon ...... Sorcerer? What is that? Not only Hua Sheng looked confused, but Zhao Yuanling also looked dazed.
I've heard of demons, I've heard of people, and I've heard of demons for the first time.
"It's a person who has become a demon, and now he is no longer a real person, nor is he a real demon." Mo Bai's face was unprecedentedly solemn.
"This man slaughtered tens of thousands of people in his lifetime."
His hands were stained with enough blood, and if he had evil thoughts, the undead at his hands would devour his consciousness, and eventually he would become a demon of the walking dead.
The armadillo's face was solemn: "The last time a demon appeared was a hundred years ago, I heard that King An abolished 100,000 soldiers before killing a demon. ”
Now that I see it with my own eyes, it's really terrifying.
"If he had killed tens of thousands of people, I guess he should have been a general during his lifetime." Zhao Yuanling carefully recalled the generals of the imperial court, but he had not heard of any generals who died in battle.
Only one general Wude disappeared on the battlefield, and King An sent people to look for him for five years before finally giving up the search.
But now fifty years have passed, and although this person can't see the age clearly, he definitely doesn't look like an ancient man.
It can't be him.
Could it be some little-known little soldier?
He killed tens of thousands of people during his lifetime, and if he went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, he would probably already be famous.
After hearing what the armadillo said, Hua Sheng's face turned even whiter with fright, "Then why don't you run?" It takes 100,000 soldiers to fight, what can we do to stop him? ”
"Let's get out of the way." Armadillos also proposed.
"No, if we let him go down the mountain like this, how many innocent people will die in vain." She paused for a moment, looked at the armadillo and said, "You go down the mountain first to find the officers and soldiers, and Mo Bai and I will drag him here." ”
"But what are you going to hold back?" The armadillo was anxious, but seeing Zhao Yuanling's resolute face, he could only grit his teeth and run down the mountain with Hua Sheng.
There was a scorched smell in the air, and every step the demon took brought about a huge erosion.
"The princess is hiding here first."
Zhao Yuanling nodded, "Just delay him." ”
Mo Bai's appearance seemed to let the demon find his target, and the next moment, countless black qi overflowed from the man's body and attacked in the direction of Mo Bai.
The ground cracked countless cracks, and if you looked closely, the black gas was wrapped in slender vines, and the vines were visibly expanding as the blood left on the ground touched the ground.
Mo Bai jumped into the air and flew steadily onto a boulder, and in the next moment, the boulder suddenly cracked open, turning into countless powders.
This demon is even more tricky than expected.
The morning light dissipated, and the dark clouds covered the sun.
Nikko also seemed to sense this power and hid herself.
Without the rays of sunlight, the actions of the demons are more agile to the naked eye.
The vines are like a net from all directions towards Mo Bai, there is no Neidan in his body, compared to the previous one, the current body is like paper paste, if it is entangled, I am afraid that I will have to wait for death.
He jumped and tried to avoid it, dodging dozens of times in a row, and his body was already drenched in light sweat.
"Mo Bai beware of ......," Zhao Yuanling hid in the distance, looking at the front of the fight with fear.
The reason why she let her stay so definitely was because she believed in Mo Bai's strength.
Although he is young, he is the strongest top guard in the palace.
In her eyes, flying eaves and walking walls are just trivial matters, even if he goes up the knife mountain and goes down the sea of fire, he can come back alive.
But judging from what he just saw, it seemed that something was not quite right with him.
After only a short time of incense, his movements slowed down visibly, and even his breathing was a little hasty.
Mo Bai jumped to the branch, countless vines looked at him, they seemed to be playing peek-a-boo, Mo Bai moved with him, he stopped, they stood aside and wriggled and waited.
It's like a cat catching a mouse not for food, but for fun.
It's a bad taste.
A cold aura penetrated into his pores from all directions, and the entire mountain was infected with blood.
The sound of the wind, like the roar of the undead on the ground, hit the man and finally dissipated into white smoke.
The best defense is to attack, and if he continues to hide like this, he will be consumed sooner or later.
The sword was unsheathed, and it stabbed at the demon with the fierce wind!
Something was dripping.
"Mo Bai!"
Zhao Yuanling saw that blood was spitting out from his mouth one by one, and the vines on the ground devoured his blood and swelled into a branch thicker than a human.
The vines wrapped around him like an unbreakable net, leaving only his painful and hideous face.
His teeth clenched, his hands fiercely tried to break free, the vines became tighter and tighter, and he spat out another mouthful of blood with a "poof".
"Mo Bai!"
"Don't... Come here. He gritted his teeth and squeezed the phrase out of his chest, "I'm fine." ”
His body was shaking, and even his breathing ached as if it were torn.
"How is this ...... Can you call it okay? Tears blurred Zhao Yuanling's eyes.
Bright red blood stains flowed from under his feet like pressed juice into the mud.
Zhao Yuanling picked up the stone on the ground and threw it at the demon man, and the stone turned into powder in an instant when it touched his body.
She stared at the monster-like demon in front of her in a daze, and then grabbed the rubble on the ground and threw it at him.
The pupils in the demon's eyes were pitch black, and he looked in the direction of Zhao Yuanling sluggishly.
She chuckled in her heart, stared at her hair, but still didn't stop her movements.
Although the broken stones did not cause him any harm, they did manage to irritate him.
The demon walked towards Zhao Yuanling step by step.
"You go!" Mo Bai roared.
"I'm not leaving." Zhao Yunlin raised his eyelashes, and his tone was very calm.
"If you want to die, you will die here." Her hands were bleeding from rubble rubbing. But he still held the stones in his hand tightly and threw them at him one by one.
She raised her eyes to look at Mo Bai, "I will never leave you alone, this is not stupid, this is my choice." ”
Even if she knew that life was precious, if she died this time, she would never be reborn.
But she couldn't.
Mo Bai is her bodyguard, not just a relationship that is paid for and hired. He has saved himself countless times, and Zhao Yuanling has long stopped treating him as his subordinate.
In her mind, the ink white knife is invulnerable, and she can stand next to her every time in danger.
This time, too, she was no longer a princess, and she had no right to order him to do anything, but he would still protect her.
