Chapter 360: Friends
Chapter 360: Friends
The road to the Flying Rainbow Realm seems to be getting harder and harder.
There are more and more corpses seen on the road.
The deeper you go into this realm, the stronger the smell of scorching sulfur in the air, and many times you will feel a sore throat when you breathe, and then some old and infirm people will find blood seeping into the water glass when they cough or drink water.
I don't know how many tribes entered the Flying Rainbow Realm before them, but during this time, they saw more and more demon clansmen of different species falling to the ground. There was no flat road to walk on in the cracked earth, and the entire Azure Basil tribe could only pass through the middle of uneven ravines, and sometimes even volcanic voids, scorching magma.
And then gradually, people in their tribe began to fall and die.
The number of dead is small, but enough to make people despair.
Because it seems to be a road without any hope, all the hard work seems to be just to lead to a dead end, even if they look up at the sky, that sky has never given them any hope, it will always be the same cold and solemn gray color.
Every step is like stepping on the point of death, what a suffocating fear it is.
The reason why the remaining people of the Azure Snake Demon tribe have not collapsed, and why they are still walking forward with a little numbness, is because there is a woman who does not let them die, nor does they go crazy, and the woman with the strange snake pupil forcibly maintains the entire tribe with strong and resolute and even somewhat cruel means, and continues to walk in despair, passing through the corpses, as if walking through the sea of death.
Is there any hope ahead?
No one knows, because as far as the eye can see, there will always be only the same gray and almost indistinguishable cracked earth, and the road seems to have no end.
Then suddenly one day, the painful and silent tribe stopped, and there was a commotion that spread throughout the group, but no one spoke, including Yulin, who was standing at the front of the group.
The thick snake tail of Yulong behind her curled a little uneasily, as if she was a little impetuous, while more people looked ahead in a daze, and finally all their eyes fell on Yulin.
In front of the Azure Snake Demon Clan, between heaven and earth, there was still a desperate scene as seen a few days ago, but on this day, there was a sudden and chilling change.
Ahead, there are no more corpses.
The endless cracked earth, there was no longer any demon corpse in front of him, the last corpse was at Yulin's feet, it looked like a tenacious dog clan, he threw himself to the ground, one hand stretched out forward, as if he wanted to catch something, or wanted to continue crawling forward, but in the end, his life came to an abrupt end, frozen in this realm full of death.
The road ahead was desolate, and it looked like no one had ever walked on it again.
Is this the right way?
Can this road really lead to the so-called land of hope?
Is the legend passed down from the ancient ancestors, the golden ancient teleportation circle that leads to the new world, really on the other side of this realm?
No one knows, and everyone sees as if all they see is death.
Yulin quietly looked into the distance, at this moment did not until what she was thinking in her heart, because her expression never changed, after the silence, she suddenly kicked out, kicked the body of the kobold aside, and then did not look back at the slightest intention to look at the eyes of her countless clansmen, just alone, proudly, resolutely, with a hint of determination to step forward, alone, on the road that no one has ever walked, towards the unknown ahead.
In the ranks of the Azure Snake Demon Clan, there was a ripple commotion again, and after a while, Yulong followed silently, then the Green Snake Guard, and then more warriors and clansmen, just like every day in the past, they still followed the woman named Yulin after all, following her footsteps, towards an unknown tomorrow.
Even if that tomorrow looks bleak.

Shen Shi threw away the fox.
He searched for a long time at the edge of the rainforest to the west of Tianqing City in the Alder Realm, but he never found any trace of the fox. It was as if the fox had suddenly disappeared into the rainforest, or from the world.
It was hard for Shen Shi not to imagine whether the fox was unlucky, encountered some powerful demon beast and was eaten, or even worse, met a greedy Terran monk, fell in love with its beautiful fur, and then grabbed it and killed and skinned it.
This thought made Shen Shi's mood a little low, although in the past time the fox seemed to have proven that he could survive alone in the wild with cleverness, but this was a dangerous world, even a monk who had achieved the path of cultivation would fall at any time, let alone an ordinary fox?
So in a somewhat gloomy mood, Shen Shi silently returned to Tianqing City.
After entering the gate of that giant wood city, as long as you walk down that long street to the end, you can see the ancient teleportation circle that leads to the Tianhong City Array Island, and you can leave from there and return to Liuyun City to find Gu Lingyun, and this time the matter will be over. But I don't know why, after Shen Shi walked a long way on this rainy street, he suddenly felt that he wanted to drink.
He actually rarely drank alcohol, and when he was still in Lingxiao Sect, he would accompany his master at that time, Old Man Pu, to drink some, but when he was alone, he hardly drank a single drop, let alone had a special desire to drink.
A similar feeling, in retrospect, seems to have only been experienced when the old white monkey and the stone pig died, and when the extreme northern snow field was separated from Xiao Hei.
Shen Shi suddenly chuckled, as if he was laughing at himself for being a little bored, but the smile gradually became a little lonely, because he suddenly found that he really didn't have many friends.
So there were only a few beasts, but they unconsciously became his closest companions to his heart.
Then he suddenly wanted to drink even more, so he stopped and turned into a very lively tavern by the side of the road.
This is the most common and ordinary tavern in the city, everything in the store is made of wood, wooden tables, wooden chairs, wooden windows, wooden doors, and even the wine glasses that people hold to drink, are also wooden cups.
Shen Shi found a corner and exchanged a spirit crystal for three glasses of wine. The drinks here are sour and unpleasant, but they are expensive.
He raised his head and took a sip, almost throwing it up, but after a while, he felt that his body was slowly heating up, as if he had dispelled the cold peculiar to the rainy season here, and felt a little comfortable.
Perhaps, this is why so many monks like to drink such a bad wine and a strong liquor at the same time?
Shen Shi thought silently, and then continued to drink.
No one paid any attention to him, an inconspicuous and quiet man, so he drank quietly in the corner until he had finished two glasses of spirits, and was getting hotter and hotter, and was about to start with a third drink, when he suddenly heard some men striding in from outside the tavern, and then one laughed and said:
"Boss, come with ten glasses of wine, Lao Tzu has a treat!"
"Hey, it's you, Lao Yang, why are you so generous this time, could it be that you have taken shit luck and found some natural treasures in the rainforest?"
"Haha, where is the treasure of heaven and earth so easy to find, but Lao Tzu was really lucky this time, and actually caught a rare white-haired fox in this alder realm, and the fur ...... Tsk, it's really hard to say that it's beautiful, this time I will definitely make a lot of money when I go to Tianhong City!"
"Smack!" Suddenly, from a corner of the tavern, a wine glass suddenly dropped heavily and slammed on the table.
