Chapter 37: The Lair
Pei Li didn't know where to be taken.
The dark shadow of the mountain passed by his feet, and Fenghuai was left far behind, and the shape of the mountain became taller and stranger.
Why doesn't it kill itself, is it going to take itself to its lair?
Suddenly, in the midst of the high altitude, Pei Ye thought of a possibility - could it be that it had broken through the fate and prosperity contract, and wanted to bring itself to the black mantis and then kill them, and then take advantage of the black mantis's weakness to kill it with one blow, right?
Ignoring the guilt that welled up in his heart, Pei Ye hurriedly called out to the black cockroach in his heart, asking it to quickly break the contract with himself.
"Don't panic, it's none of my business." Black Cockroach said in a focused tone, "Let's see where this is." ”
Pei Ye was stunned, and his body fell sharply, but it was Qi Qi who suddenly dived and fell into a high and hidden valley.
There seemed to be a firelight flashing from his field of vision, and before Pei Ye could take a closer look, he had been thrown to the ground roughly, and his chest and abdomen were shaken to the core.
A huge amount of wind and dust rose from behind, and at the same time there was a sound of flapping wings, and Qi Qi didn't stop for a moment, and left directly.
Pei Ye held his hand on the ground, and was about to get up to see what kind of place it was, but two pairs of boots fell on the ground in front of him, the one on the right had some dust, and the one on the left was extremely clean.
This familiar cleanliness startled Pei Li, and he raised his head suddenly.
However, it was not the resurrection of the dead, in front of him were two unfamiliar purple robes looking up at the back of Qi Qi leaving.
"I'm waking up more and more......" said to the left.
"Yes......" the person on the right answered.
After the exchange, the two lowered their heads and looked at Pei Li, the two hideous faces frightened Pei Li's heart in the night, and then realized that it was a mask.
"Where did this come from?"
"Xiao Wu's one."
"Hmm......" The purple-robed man on the left squinted, Pei Ye felt as if his heart was being held by a big hand, Jing Ziwang and Qi Qi were far from giving him such a terrifying feeling.
Since entering the rain that night to fight the two white-clothed people, Pei Li's narrow cognition has been constantly penetrated, each of them is the strongest enemy he has ever encountered, and he is always worthless in front of the next one.
By now, Pei Ye couldn't tell what level these two purple-robed people were at, was it as simple as Jing Ziwang killing Wu in ancient times?
"That's it, it's all the same." The purple-robed ghost-faced man didn't seem to care about what happened between Pei Ye and Wu Zaigu, he bent down to lift Pei Li, Pei Ye only heard the sound of the wind in his ears, and the things in front of him were full of flowers, and the person had come to a grotto.
This grotto is as big as its own small courtyard, and there are more than 20 people sitting or lying in it.
The purple-robed man left directly, and the black-robed man at the door stuffed a sign into Pei Li's hand, Pei Ye looked down and saw that it was engraved with "Twenty-four", and before he could take a closer look, he was rudely pushed in, and the black-robed man closed the dispensable firewood door behind him.
Pei Ye stood in the grotto, cold and blood-stench surrounded him, as if there were countless poisonous insects crawling on his body, and his hair trembled unconsciously - it was the malicious gaze of more than twenty people coldly.
Pei Ye tensed his body, slowly moved to the corner and sat down, vigilantly looking at the villain in this room.
These people are old and young, as old as fifty or sixty, as young as sixteen or seventeen, more men than women, and many of them are stained with blood stains of various colors, some are already black and brown, and some are still bright red.
Pei Ye adjusted the state of his body while combing through everything he saw in his mind.
The most worthy of further study is the attitude of Qi Qi and the purple-robed people towards themselves, and the reliance on their survival is obviously that they are a "useful thing" in their eyes.
And the source of this "useful" is also easy to guess, and it is likely to be the dragon tongue that he inherited in place of Wu Zaigu.
So why did the purple-robed people say "all the same"? It means that the dragon's tongue that has accumulated energy is the key, and it doesn't matter which body carries it?
So...... Did each of the people in this grotto carry a "palace" for the noble seed to live in?
Are there twelve living beings behind each of these "palaces"?
With such a scale of killing, how could Xianrentai not find out?
Not...... They may have accumulated these humanoid dragon tongues little by little over the past fifty years, and they had gathered them all here at this time.
Pei Ye looked up again and took a closer look, this time he found something different.
Although the robes and lying men resembled vicious tigers and leopards, the hostility seemed to be directed only at themselves, and some of them were wounded and some of them had blood on their hands, but they were not wary of each other.
Opposite him, an old man with a gloomy face sat on the wall, his black robe was shabby and dirty, his eyes seemed to be open, his injured left arm was softly resting on the lap of the person next to him, and at this time, he noticed Pei Ye's gaze, turned up a pair of gray eyes and stared coldly.
He leaned on his left shoulder with a head of unkempt withered hair, and at this time he also raised his head to stare at it, although his face was stained with blood, it was still obvious that he was unexpectedly young, a girl of seventeen or eighteen.
A father and daughter.
Pei Ye thought and silently withdrew his gaze.
There are two or three more caves like this, sisters and brothers, friends, uncles and nephews...... It's hard to determine what the relationship is, the only thing in common is that they are like hungry wolves licking each other's wounds, enjoying the last warmth together.
This scene came into view, and Pei Ye gradually had some bad premonitions.
At this time, the chai door was pushed open with a "squeak", and a tall but rickety figure appeared in front of the door, this person was not wearing a black robe, but a gray shirt, which was also broken and dirty at this time, and bright red blood beads dripped from his hair.
As soon as this person entered the door, Pei Li suddenly felt that the pent-up hostility in his body disappeared, and all of them were transferred.
The man looked around the cellar with his head held high, a flirtatious smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
His gaze was on Pei Li, and he seemed to notice the difference in his clothes, and strode over and sat down against the wall next to him.
The black-robed man guarding the door said: "[Seventeen] two wins and step down, and the next group of [nineteen] and [twenty]." ”
A man stood up in the depths of the stone cellar, and at the same time, the girl opposite Pei Ye also stood up.
She came to the person next to Pei Li, stared at him with bloodshot eyes, and said fiercely: "I will kill you." ”
The man grinned and bared his white teeth: "Before that, you have to kill your father first." ”
The girl's fist squeezed out of her bones, and she was about to speak, when the man who came from the depths of the stone cellar touched her shoulder and said calmly: "God's favor, even if it is bloody and dead, it is still intimate; God's abandonment, even if it is father and son, is only a ghost. ”
The girl calmed down, looked at the man next to Pei Li proudly, and said, "Yes, we will live forever in the body of the gods, pathetic unbelievers. ”
She snorted coldly and turned around and walked out of the door, the man sat on the ground, looking at her back, his unruly face seemed to be solemn and heavy for a moment, but he turned his head towards Pei Ye, still smiling: "Hey, you killed one of them too?" ”
