I don't know how many days it will be, but it's still dark outside.

I came alone to the barren forest near the ruined temple, and everything had to start from the source.

The cold wind passed through, and the shadows of the trees around it made a "rustling" sound. It was as if I was stuck in a dream. My eyebrows furrowed, and since Qinghe's disappearance, the knots in my heart have never dissipated. In this situation, could it be said that the previous dream will come true?

Rustle Rustle –

I kept walking. As a gust of night wind passed me, I suddenly heard some strange sounds not far away.

The colorful sword at his waist also seemed to be aware of it. I stopped, and my ears sounded alertly. The sound came from the east, and there was a "rustling" of footsteps in between, as if someone was eagerly chasing.

I hurried down the eastern path, and in a moment I saw the figure running in a panic. As soon as the mother-in-law saw me, she didn't have time to restrain her feet, so she screamed in fear, and the bamboo basket fell off her back.

"Mother-in-law, don't be afraid. I picked up the bamboo basket on the ground and handed it to her.

"You, who are you?" she seemed to be afraid of me, took the bamboo basket to defend against her chest, and took a few steps back.

"Mother-in-law, don't be afraid, I'm just a passerby, looking for someone here. ”

Hearing me say this, the panic in her eyes dissipated most of the time, but her body was still shaking, and she slowly put the bamboo basket down.

"Mother-in-law, in this barren mountains and forests, it's the middle of the night, why did you appear here alone?"

After gasping for a few breaths, my mother-in-law looked at me and said intermittently, "It's not me, my hard-working grandson, and suddenly there are red spots on his body." I, that old man's legs and feet are inconvenient, I can only, only me, let me go into the forest, pick some, pick some herbs......"

Seeing that there were indeed some grass flowers in the bamboo basket, the mother-in-law clung to it tightly, and her face became worried.

"Mother-in-law, it's late, it's not safe for you to walk alone in this forest, why don't I send you back." ”

The mother-in-law's eyes lit up slightly, and she couldn't help but get closer to me, and said with a grateful expression: "Thank you, girl!"

I took the bamboo basket in my hand for her, and I was about to walk on the path leading to the forest, when she suddenly grabbed my arm.

"Don't go there!"

"Why?"

I saw that her body trembled violently, and the fear in her eyes increased.

"There...... There are man-eating monsters there...... We, let's not go!"

"Man-eating monsters?" I was stunned.

There was a bit of confusion in the ravine-filled face, and the thin palm of my hand pulled me tighter and tighter. The mother-in-law half-hung her head and kept whispering, "Don't go, girl, don't go...... There are youkai out there, and they eat people......"

The voice faded into silence. Out of nowhere, a gust of wind blew a spirit, and the mother-in-law's trembling body suddenly stopped, her two pupils dilated, and her dark eyes stared at me blankly.

"Here they come......"

"Mother-in-law, why are they coming?" The trees around them shook violently, and there seemed to be countless shadows moving among them. The Yicai Sword made a mournful "woo" sound, as if someone was really coming, which made me all on guard.

"Youkai, man-eating youkai are coming......"

As soon as the hoarse voice fell, the mother-in-law's two eyes were opened to the maximum, and she looked into the distance motionlessly. When the wind was still, I looked at the end of the path and a vague black shadow appeared, revealing the appearance of a human under the faint moonlight.

"Ahh

There was a terrible cry beside me, and my mother-in-law instantly let go of my arm, her face was particularly hideous and frightened, and the soles of her feet suddenly fled towards the other end of the trail like a wind.

"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law!"

I was shocked, the basket fell to the ground, and my hands did not hold her.

The figure of the strange mother-in-law disappeared in the middle of nowhere, and I turned my head to see the figure in front of me getting closer and closer to me.

"Who is Your Excellency?"

No one answered. Only footsteps were approaching me.

Zheng –

I drew my Rainbow Sword, the tip of the sword reaching the figure.

It was at this moment that the moonlight above his head suddenly shone on the figure's face.

I shuddered, and saw that the man's face was also black. His facial features were somewhat festering in his messy hair, and the man's limbs were swollen from those of ordinary people, and his posture was a little stiff when he walked.

This looks like ......

Boom –

The grass in two places around the area also moved, and a low gasp followed. The smell of blood came to my nose, and I stepped back with my sword in hand, hearing louder and louder voices on both sides.

The figures that came out of it were also unkempt, and there were ulcers in several places on their faces. One of them saw me and was stunned, and a piece of bloody flesh fell from his hand. He made a strange noise, and the men all walked towards me with their hands stretched out.

The stench of blood and carrion hit me one after another, and the figures in front of them, not like people, ghosts not like ghosts, claws covered with blood, and hoarse screams in their mouths.

This scene is so familiar with what I saw in my dreams.

The colorful sword in my hand screamed sadly, and my scalp tingled. At this moment, what makes me feel even more panicked is that if I guess correctly, these people should have been poisoned.

That group of people were really harming the innocent with the Gu medicine left by Ling Tianjun eighteen years ago?

If this is the case, there will be great difficulties in the Jingshui area......

I couldn't think about it like that, and a sharp claw reached out at me, revealing the man's green fangs in his unkempt hair. He let out a low roar, as if trying to crumple my whole body in his palm.

Suddenly there was a flash of blue light in the barren forest. The men pounced on me, and as if they had found their target, they chased after me.

The person in the Gu seemed to have a strange force in his body, even if he was injured by the sword qi, he would recover after a while. There was a rustling sound in the grass, and several other figures surrounded me. The number of Gu Worms was more than I had imagined, and they all followed the Demon Dao, as if they had to devour me alive.

Remembering that they were innocent people, I did not dare to hurt their flesh with the sword of Overflow. It's just that they are not afraid of the sword qi at all, as if they have the body of King Kong, and they will get up after falling to the ground for a while. This time it was difficult, my physical strength had not fully recovered, and I gradually became a little overwhelmed.

There is some light leaking through the gaps in the forest, and the dawn is about to break.

"Ahh

Out of nowhere, a figure came straight at me. I closed my eyes suddenly, but I heard a few "booms" in my ears.

I opened my eyes and saw the red shadow descending from the sky with a long sword.

My heart rejoices.

"Senior brother!"
