Unsheathed Sword Chapter 6: The Eve of the Sacrifice
Xu Huaigu looked at Li Zi lying in her arms, her face was frightened, her brows were tight, her facial muscles were twitching uncontrollably, her face was pale, and she looked like she was going through a very terrible change.
He didn't dare to turn back, this Lingjiang was really evil, and he didn't want to make any more mistakes. At the moment, Li Zi's situation is the most worrying, his body is cold, his clothes are soaked, he really has no strength to walk anymore, he can only wait here.
Fortunately in the midst of misfortune, it didn't take long for him to finally see a few black dots gradually appear, and his father's call sounded in his ears. He shouted desperately, and the group seemed to hear something, and they all ran in this direction.
Xu Huaigu breathed a sigh of relief, he would be rescued soon, but he just hoped that Li Zi would not have an accident.
For a moment, that thought flashed through his mind again......
Do you want to take a look back? Anyway, I'm already going to be rescued.
Intense curiosity grew uncontrollably wild, and he couldn't hold back it anymore and quickly looked back.
At this glance, time seems to be eternal.
All the surrounding scenery disappeared in an instant. Li Zi in his arms, the Lingjiang River that has been flowing for countless years, the small village behind him that has existed for many years, the grasses, the stones, the white clouds, and then the blue sky......
Everything that was real in front of him seemed to turn into a roll of drawing paper, and then it was ruthlessly torn apart by the sword. The rift was then filled with more strange colors, shimmering with an eerie glow.
The sun was also ruthlessly torn apart, and suddenly there was darkness all around. Then there were pillars of light that pierced through the clouds and scattered to the world. The pillars of light emitted were stars, some large and some small, but all of them were very close to the ground, as if they could reach out and touch them.
In the blink of an eye, the light was in full bloom, and the whole world was illuminated, and there was dazzling white light everywhere. Xu Huaigu tried his best to cover his eyes with his hands, but the light seemed to penetrate directly through his palms and shoot straight into his heart, melting everything.
He no longer felt his presence, as if he had become nothing, and there was no fear in his heart, only numbness.
It didn't take long for the suffocating light to soften and he could see a little bit of his surroundings.
There were countless huge islands suspended in the sky, and the light emanated from them. Those islands are like stars falling from the earth, holy and beautiful.
The flowers and plants are in full bloom all around, the mountains are undulating, lush, the rivers are rushing, the birds and beasts are singing, and the world is harmonious and stable.
He could smell the fragrance in the air, and it seemed to be a little sweet, intoxicating.
The good times didn't last long, but in an instant, everything began to destroy again. The stars burst open without warning, the stones scattered, and the firelight lit up the sky, turning everything into a bloody crimson.
He looked in horror at the flowers, plants, birds and beasts on the ground, and everything was withering rapidly, and life was passing quickly. The monstrous flames of red and green struck wildly, becoming more and more vigorous, and there were not even ashes left in their passes.
The fire immediately burned to the soles of his feet, and he was so frightened that he hurried to dodge, but there was nowhere to hide but to let the flames burn. But strangely, there was no expected burning pain on the body, but nothing to feel.
Immediately afterward, the earth shook, and all the surrounding ground cracked, and then protruded again, and something was growing in the ground, about to burst.
He took several steps back in fright, and then fell straight to the ground, gasping for air and looking in shock at the collapsed ground in front of him.
A monstrous skull of gigantic size was the first to emerge from the ground, covered in terrifying spikes and scales, a vivid dark red. His eyes were wide open, full of bloody desire to kill, and sharp fangs could be clearly seen between his mouths, with a terrifying fear.
It didn't see Xu Huaigu, or it didn't care at all, and went straight to the outside.
It roared angrily, which almost made Xu Huaigu's soul scatter, and he used all the strength of his body to break through the last layer of restraint and fly towards the flame-like sky.
The huge body gradually revealed itself one by one, the red and black scale armor flashed quickly, and there was a red liquid flowing between the scale armor, exuding blazing heat, it was lava.
Xu Huaigu couldn't imagine how terrifying this monster was, but the splashing dust and heat wave pushed him away.
The monster finally came out in its entirety. It flew wantonly under the rolling sky of red clouds, and the length of its whole body was even better than the Lingjiang River that Xu Huaigu had seen. At this time, suspended in the sky, it was a black and red mountain range flowing with naked magma, and just its momentum was already about to destroy the heavens and the earth.
As if to vent its infinite anger, it first bowed its head, then jerked its head up, and roared in resentment. The sound waves almost condensed into a ferocious stream of water, sweeping away everything in heaven and earth. As soon as it roared, the heavens and the earth lost their color.
As if in response, various voices immediately rang out. A sharp birdsong came from the darkness, penetrated into the heart, and pierced his head to death. Then there was the roar of unknown beasts.
The monsters in the sky squinted their eyes and looked down on the world with contempt, and that royal aura made people can't help but want to surrender.
Xu Huaigu knelt down unconsciously, looking at the strange beast dementedly.
The scene was frozen before his eyes, deeply recorded in the deepest part of his mind.
At this time, it was night in the village, and Xu Huaigu was lying on the bed, his face was painful, even if he was unconscious, he was tossing and wailing over and over.
His mother, Qin Qi, and his father, Xu Xingchuan, sat on the edge of his bed, speechless.
Qin Qi looked at his painful appearance, his heart was like a knife, he covered the tears that were about to gush out with his hands, and whimpered. Xu Xingchuan patted her on the shoulder firmly and comforted: "It's okay, the high priest has said that Xu Huaigu is overly frightened, and it will be fine after a while." ”
She cried, "He's been in a coma for a day and a night, how can I not worry?" The high priest didn't know what was going on, otherwise why didn't he save him? ”
The room was quiet again, except for the "ticking" of tears on the floor.
Xu Xingchuan couldn't stand the silent atmosphere, and scolded: "Recently, the village is really evil, Li Zi and Xu Huaigu are in a coma by the river together, and the girl is a little crazy after waking up." Chen Wucai and his cousin Chen Wucai were also killed last night, what is going on! ”
When the woman Qin Qi thought of the poor child Zhang Xiaohe, tears flowed down even more. She pleaded: "Zhang Xiaohe's child really didn't know what evil he had done in his last life, and all his relatives were gone, what should he do in the future?" What a child, why don't you let him come to our house in the future? ”
Xu Xingchuan hesitated for a moment, and said helplessly: "Okay, I still have strength, and it's okay to feed two children." ”
In a house near Xueshu, Chen Wuhua roared angrily and sadly: "Heaven on dog days! Lao Tzu has never done anything wrong, but he took all my relatives away one by one! Tell me, why! ”
A fist slammed on the wall, venting his inner unwillingness and grief.
Chu Xian stood beside him and sighed. Recently, it has been an eventful time, with multiple murders disrupting the peaceful life in the village, and the two children are also in a coma beside the Lingjiang River, apparently touching the deepest secret of the Lingjiang River.
The most terrifying thing is that the Chen family has been murdered, and only Chen Wuhua is left in the bloodline, and tomorrow is the annual sacrificial ceremony, and there must be no lack of bloodline!
As the High Priest, he knew the secrets of the village. On the other side of the Ling River is the realm of the extraterritorial demon clan. Five hundred years ago, the extraterritorial demon clan attacked the Central Domain, caught it off guard, and directly seized the territory of the three continents, known as the Demon Domain, and fought against the Central Domain.
The people of the Central Domain felt the crisis, and at the cost of ceding most of the East Fuyao Continent, they signed an armistice agreement with the Demon Domain, and the border was this Ling River.
The strength of the demon clan on the other side of the Ling River was originally comparable to that of the human race, but the demon king was powerful and unrivaled. They were willing to succumb to one place, and the Terrans naturally did not dare to trust them, so they gathered almost the entire strength of the Terrans and took advantage of the time when they signed the contract to attack the king of the demon race, Molong.
After all, the dragon is the king of demons, and it only has a slight advantage when attacked by many people. The battle was dark, and the entire central part of Dongfuyao Continent was razed to the ground, and the lives were devastated, and the dragon king was still able to escape, but he was afraid of the casualties of his family, and he swore to die and refused to retreat. The Terrans couldn't kill him, so they made a big formation in the middle of Fuyao Continent in the east to defend Molong.
At that time, the dragon schemers each divided their bloodline, built a village in this Qingling, and multiplied. May 7th is the day of the suppression of the ink dragon, the annual blood sacrifice is to strengthen the array, if the sacrifice goes wrong, the seal is weakened, let the ink dragon come out again, the world will inevitably be ruined.
Chu Xian didn't dare to be cautious, it wasn't a big deal for the Chen family to die, but if the last Chen family's bloodline was lost, it would be a big deal in the world!
In this room, in addition to the angry Chen Wuhua, there are also him and two other priests to protect Chen Wuhua, and nothing can happen!
On that night, none of the three priests dared to sleep, dutifully watching over him.
It was almost dawn, but the murderer still did not appear, and Chen Wuhua sat weakly on the ground in the corner.
Everything looks like it's still under control.
He wondered, wasn't the murderer ready to take action? If so, it will be almost impossible to find such an opportunity in the future.
He always had a bad feeling......
