Chapter Seventy-Eight: Creatures Hiding in the Darkness and the So-Called Sect
The hunt of the demons began, and if they showed cowardice at this time, then they would attack them in groups, and their bodies would be gnawed away by the darkness, and the frequency of their hearts was accelerating, and they wanted to calm down, but their steps were gradually accelerating, as if the owner of their bodies was no longer themselves.
The inner roar seems to be just to cover up the terrible tranquility around them, and what I want to hear is not the strange sound of rustling, as if a foreign object is crawling, but the sense of security of the crowd in the city.
Breathing faster, sweating on his forehead, his mouth was dry, and he couldn't help but want to find a sense of security, only the hilt of the sword he held and the talisman he touched, this fact with a clear offensive meaning, could comfort the helpless.
The fingertips were white, and the fear of the darkness was gradually turning into a creepy feeling, and in a trance, the raised fingers turned into white bones in the sight, holding back the screams that were about to exit, and looking at his fingers again, only slightly white.
The branches of the tree swayed, and they didn't feel the wind, and they couldn't see what it was in the woods, and they couldn't see what it was, and the other party could see them, but they couldn't confirm the appearance and direction of the other party.
The feeling of oppression hits, and the lens-like amber pupils stare at him, unable to feel the limits of life, like a mirror, when he is attracted to it, his grasp of the surrounding environment seems to become dissolved, and he becomes sensitive, and there is more than one demon surrounding him, except for the one who stares at his exposed pupils, there are others, waiting for an opportunity.
But a light in the darkness will become a signal to attack, as long as the light is extinguished, you can't adapt to the darkness of your pupils, you can't identify the monster that is close at hand, and fear and fear eat away at your spirit.
I don't know how long I walked, I moved forward in fear, I completely forgot about the concept of time, I couldn't concentrate on my heartbeat for a second or a few minutes, and finally under the peep of the demons around me, I held on to my will to collapse and walked to the top of the mountain.
There are so many unknowns in the mountains at night that they test the traveler's body and mind, and if you are not careful, you will sink in the darkness and become one of them, and the demon is watching the traveler and luring him into the darkness.
Looking up at the top of the mountain where you can't see the starry sky, the height of the vegetation has changed, the highest vegetation here is no more than knee-length, the exposed surface, and the remains of buildings, there are no traces of human activity for a long time, there are demon claw marks left on the ruins, and the coagulated blood has been processed by time and turned into pitch black, if you keep staring at the same thing, you can't help but think of the things of fear, the surrounding darkness gives people a sense of approaching, they are waiting, when the boy relaxes, it is the moment of devouring.
There was a spot of light flickering in the distance, and it was the light before the sun rose!
Caught in the sun's radiance, and forgetting that he was in the darkness at this moment, the demon struck.
When he noticed it, the foreign body that was dripping with mucus had already put on his shoulder, and he couldn't turn his head! his heart kept calling, reminding himself, and there was a fishy hot breath in his ears, as if he was whispering, and he could imagine the appearance of saliva dripping from his mouthparts.
Calm calm calm down to death
The sound of breathing is getting worse, the distance between myself and the foreign body is approaching, and the sound of my breathing is gradually synchronized with it, what is it, curiosity is at work, what is the foreign body behind it!
I want to know the answer, but on the other side, I am praying in my heart that the sun will move a little faster, faster, and light up all around me
It's almost unbearable, and the desire to turn your head to confirm is getting stronger and stronger, and the fear of the unknown dominates the body, wanting to confirm, even if it's death.
Unable to control the saliva secreted in his mouth, the liquid overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and he seemed to be about to synchronize with it, and his brain became strange, as if he was afraid of the sun.
It was as if I had heard a whisper, different from the human language, not like the malicious language of any species.
Consciousness is dissipating, at the last moment when you are about to close your eyes and turn around.
The sun finally shone on the boy's body, warm, dispelling the darkness, showing the unknown true posture, and the sense of death that was choked by the throat dissipated.
The ruins still exist, but there is no fear or unknown in the darkness.
......
Taking a big breath of fresh air, the rate of his heart gradually returning to normal, and now that the oppression of being watched has disappeared, the boy has rediscovered his existence.
"What are they? They are definitely not beings that can be explained by present knowledge, nor are they evil as the world knows. ”
They still have their slime on their shoulders, and they can hear whispers in unknown languages that cannot be imitated by the structure of human vocalizations.
When the saliva was dripping, he realized that he was secreting too much oral saliva at the moment, and after wiping the saliva with his hand, he suddenly found that his other hand, the hand that should not have touched the saliva, had a layer of mucus on the back of his hand.
"What's going on...... Could it be me...... Is this assimilation?"
Walking through the wreckage of the building, under the light of the sun, all the unknown has long since dissipated, but in the darkness that cannot be illuminated, it seems that something is peeping.
"At this time, it's better to hurry up, if you forcibly destroy these wreckage, I'm afraid I won't end well, there are a lot of troubles along the way, I hope the reward given to me by the end of the road is worthy of the harshness of this road...... That being said, it doesn't seem like it's been a few days. ”
Came to the town at the foot of the mountain, came to the inn, rented a room, simply washed the body, washed off the dust and filth on the body, changed into new clothes, and felt refreshed.
It's still the dark robe, tied up with the hair dried with aura particles, it just so happens that today is the day when the event was originally scheduled, and I originally wanted to spare a period of time to collect information and buy some special products, but now I can only go to the meeting without preparing anything.
After tidying up, seeing that the hour is noon, lunch will be solved with street food, walking in the crowded streets, there is leisure to think about other things, the teenager who realizes that human beings are still social creatures after all, it is easy to relax in the group, compared to the wilderness, this feeling of walking in the city, I don't know how much better.
Even if you stay in a lonely room, you can hear the noise downstairs, praise the noise, long live the noise!
It makes people realize that they are not alone.
"If the reserve is still there, let it taste the special grilled octopus here, it tastes really good. ”
The sad thing ended here, the crowd was gathering, there was already a long queue somewhere, everyone was waiting in line in an orderly manner, no one cut the line, and the maintenance of order was quite in place.
Throw the bamboo sticks into the designated garbage can, come to the place holding the "end" sign, consciously take the sign, wait for the next person to arrive, and hand the sign to him.
Because of the lack of preparation, I chose a large group of people to listen to the information provided by the people around me as they chatted.
"I heard that the success rate of the Qiyu Sect is the highest recently, basically as long as you have a little cultivation talent, you can become a disciple, but my family persuaded me to come here, and because of the region, I plan to join the sect. ”
"Alas, I know some inside information about this matter, I have to say that you should be glad that you didn't go to Qi Yu, do you know what Qi Yu has done recently?"
"Widely accepted disciples, even casual cultivation can join, and the combat power of the sect soared for a while, and took advantage of this momentum to launch large-scale cultivation activities, anyway, the current Qi Yu is also a unique existence, why are you glad that I didn't choose Qi Yu?"
"This kind of thing is making a lot of noise, even guys like you and me who haven't joined the big sect know it, if you think that no one is contributing to it, no one will believe it, who else is willing to build momentum for Qi Yu besides themselves?
"Probably to create a sense that they are very strong, they are just pretending to be a tiger, in fact, they have already ...... inside"
"Daoists are still willing to think, rather than making decisions with the masses like most sentient beings. ”
"If there is no Taoist friend to point out, how can I know, by the way, since Taoist friends are diligent thinkers, then about the assessment of the Yao Sect, is there some loopholes that can be passed relatively simply, after all, it is not easy to participate once, nothing has been completed, so go back like this, it is not good to explain to your parents, the key is not to let them worry. ”
"Well...... It's not without ......"
"Please, fellow Daoist. ”
"Exclusive secrets, only to tell you one person, I believe that smart people like you will not go around talking nonsense. ”
"Of course. ”
"Come here with your ears, like this............ Got it?"
"Well, I'll take that opportunity. ”
Hearing such a conversation, it happens to be relatively close, otherwise I would not hear the conversation between the two, and I always feel that the person is fishing, why should I answer other people's doubts, do I want to show off my knowledge, or do I want the other party to listen to the advice I give, and use this to help me pass the assessment.
Then Xiyi understood the truth, that person is most likely idle and has nothing to do, or this is the assessment, because the person who expressed his opinion about what Qi Yu had done recently was the person he knew as a teenager, the person who was destined to meet again-Bai Chengxian.
According to the known information, it can be deduced that the other party is a high-level person of the Yaodu Sect, and a person with Yuanying cultivation still has a lot of say in a sect, at least he has the right to choose a promising disciple.
