Thunder rolled through the clouds, crushing out all the water vapor in them. From the first drop of rain to the downpour, it took only two breaths.

In this brief moment, Li Yunxin saw a corner of the eaves in the distance through the electric light. On the eaves stood a dark blue mantle, glancing at him in the heavy rain. So he covered the finger-wide sword wound on his arm and stumbled over.

If there was someone in that house, maybe it would have saved his life. If there is no one, it is better to be his burial place tonight than in the wilderness.

After his clothes were torn into strips of cloth by grass and trees, Li Yunxin fell into the door.

Rao was still in such a damp and gloomy rainy night, and there was still a cloud of dust and mist rising on the ground. The room was groggy and filled with the musty smell of decay and the smell of blood on his body.

No sound, no lights.

Before he fell in, he knew it was a ruined temple.

Li Yunxin gasped for a while on the ground like a beast, struggled to get up, rubbed his hands and feet against the ground in front of the long-abandoned incense case, turned around and sat towards the door.

He felt that he probably wouldn't be able to escape the chase tonight.

But it's better to sit and die like this than to be killed from behind.

The lightning lit up again. Li Yunxin gasped and looked up at the incense table with great effort.

The temple is dedicated to an unknown statue of a god, the paint is peeled, and most of the body is broken, and I don't know where it is sacred. He sighed, reached out and patted the idol on the leg, and said with a miserable smile: "There is no incense in the wilderness, and you are very miserable to think about." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of water-soaked cloth shoes falling to the ground.

Two Taoist priests rushed in from the rain curtain, holding thin swords two fingers wide. The rain gathered from the blade to the tip of the sword, making a series of sounds on the bluestone floor tiles.

"Hand it over. The Taoist priest said, "You will not die." ”

The electric light once again crossed the sky, and Li Yunxin saw the faces of the two people clearly. At the age of eighteen or nineteen, there is even childishness between the eyebrows.

Li Yunxin sighed in his heart, his fate was too realistic and cruel - shouldn't it be that the master of Yunyou saw him and fell in love with him and took him to soar?

At this point, shouldn't it be more that some god and monster in the mud in this temple have appeared and rescued themselves!

He gritted his teeth and sighed, "Why bother. Didn't you say that cultivators are too forgetful -- they can't let me go?"

The Taoist priest's brows stretched slightly, and he lowered his voice: "It's okay." Just tell me where that thing is hiding it. ”

Believe in him to have ghosts.

Li Yunxin just wanted to delay time and regain some strength. Tonight is always going to die, he has to pull one up, no loss.

But the other man saw through his thoughts, and handed the sword forward, the blade of which was only a hair's hair away from his throat: "Yes, I will spare you a life." Don't say it, Poor Dao has all kinds of means to get you to speak. If you know each other—"

When he said this, he paused slightly. Because he found that Li Yunxin's eyes froze, as if he had found something amazing behind them. But the Taoist priest immediately smiled mockingly: "Playing such a little trick in front of the poor Dao, you are really-"

This time he still had nothing to say.

But it wasn't his intention to pause.

For his head suddenly rolled down his neck with a gurgling and splattered with blood. The other Taoist priest hesitated for a moment at the sight - he was not convinced that it was true.

It wasn't until he saw a huge palm with blue-gray armor poking out from behind and gripping his companion's body that his eyes widened suddenly, and he turned around and stabbed a sword backwards!

Another flash of lightning lit up with his sword, and he could see the thing behind him.

Or rather, I saw one of the eyeballs of the thing behind me. A huge blood-red eyeball, half his height. There was a long, thin black pupil in the middle of this eyeball, staring at the people in the room, and his frightened face was reflected in the electric light.

The Taoist priest's steel sword was piercing this eye.

But not a single step forward.

The monster outside the temple casually waved his claws, and his long sword was shattered. The Taoist priest tried to abandon his sword and flee, but another claw reached in and grabbed him. The priest began to scream, trying to break free from the giant claws. Such a move seems to annoy the owner of the eyes. With the force of his claws, the Taoist priest's head exploded like a watermelon.

He didn't scream anymore.

As soon as the screaming stopped, there was an overwhelming sound of rain and thunder.

Li Yunxin's eyes widened, and he looked at all this in front of him in a daze, forcing himself not to make any sound.

The huge eye blinked, then moved away. It gripped the two headless corpses in its claws and retracted into the rain curtain.

Li Yunxin saw a huge presence swimming in front of the temple, and the night and torrential rain had plated its hard skin into blue-black. But he couldn't even make out the shape of the thing - it was too big!

And he's not even a leopard in a tube now.

After two or three breaths, the thing disappeared from the door.

Li Yunxin waited for a while, but still didn't dare to get up. He was afraid that his own noise would lure the monster back. But the next moment, he realized how stupid his decision was.

A dark shadow cloaked in water light walked through the door.

The black shadow dragged two things in his hand, rubbing against the ground of the bluestone slab, making a hoarse rustling sound. But the rustling sound quickly turned into a more viscous and muddy sound, and Li Yunxin smelled the suffocating smell of blood.

He knew what those two things were—they were the headless corpses of two Taoist priests.

The visitor dragged the corpse over to him and looked at him, letting out a low, bone-chilling laugh: "You can make a supper." ”

Li Yunxin, whose heart was occupied by fear, realized that this thing was very likely to be transformed from the huge thing outside the door just now, and he didn't plan to kill him for the time being.

But he didn't dare to run. In the face of that terrifying unknown force like gods and demons, he felt that the wisest choice was to stay here and wait for the opportunity.

As for timing...... He didn't dare to think about it.

The black shadow sat cross-legged in the middle of the hall, laughed strangely for a while, and said, "Take the case in the middle!"

Li Yunxin was stunned for a moment, and realized that he was talking about the incense case he was backing on. He quickly gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and moved the dusty incense case to the middle, and then quickly took a few steps back away from the thing.

The black shadow stretched out his hand on the incense table, and a burst of fire rose.

Li Yunxin finally saw the man's face by the light of the fire—he was stunned again.

It's not because the other party was born terrifying and hideous, but because he was born too ordinary!

It was obviously the face of an ordinary handsome young man, not the big ghost who looked like a melon skin as he imagined!

But what the other party did next soon made him realize that it was just a human skin on that terrible thing.

The handsome man reached out and pulled at the corpse, tearing off an arm. Then he began to roast the arm by lighting the fire that had been lit on the incense table.

Soon, a disgusting aroma permeated the big house. The man looked at him with a smile, and brought his arm to his mouth, a mouth-

The corners of his mouth grinned to the base of his ears, revealing two rows of razor-sharp teeth inside.

He swallowed half of his arm in one gulp, unripe blood and human oil running between his lips and teeth. He chewed the bones and said, "You boy is very bold. ”

"The bold man cannot eat like this, if he is fat and creamy. It needs to be steamed slowly over a simmer, then finely sliced and air-dried. Wait until it is cloudy and eat it as a side dish. ”

Li Yunxin gritted his teeth and didn't let himself tremble too much. He mustered up his courage, suddenly looked up into the other party's eyes, and asked, "What the hell are you...... What is it?"

The young man pulled another arm and roasted it, narrowed his slender eyes and smiled, "You're not afraid?"

His eyes rolled again: "You call me the Ninth Prince." ”

Li Yunxin suppressed his sudden and wild heart, and said in a trembling voice: "I was chased and killed by these two people all the way...... Thank you Jiu Gongzi for saving your life. ”

The Ninth Prince grinned and laughed strangely: "No thanks, I always have to eat you tomorrow! ”

Li Yunxin gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and said, "The Ninth Prince saved me tonight, it is the fate of you and me." Wouldn't it be a pity if you eat me again tomorrow?"

The young man laughed strangely: "You stupid talent, you also deserve to be associated with this son?

When he said this, he suddenly stopped laughing. Not only did he not smile, but he suddenly frowned, as if Li Yunxin had suddenly become a monster, and he was a mortal.

Jiu Gongzi stared at Li Yunxin for a while, and blinked: "Strange, strange, you are a person, your life is interesting." ”

He shook his head, glanced at Li Yunxin again, and said lazily, "Then let's leave your life for the time being." ”

The cold wind outside the house blew in with the water vapor, making a whining sound, and the light of the fire flickered and dimmed. Li Yunxin's heart also beat violently a few times with this firelight.

He survived for the time being.

But he knew that the reason why he survived was maybe because his "life" was really interesting, or maybe because this murderous and cannibalistic monster "Nine Princes" felt that his attitude was interesting.

Probably what he usually sees is the kind of character who trembles and kneels and begs for mercy!

Fearing that the terrible monster would change his mind, he moved to the fire and tore off a piece of his shirt from a corpse with a snort.

The ninth prince looked at him in slight surprise and didn't speak.

Li Yunxin took care of himself and wrapped the sword wound on his arm with his fingers and teeth. Then he rummaged through the corpse and pulled out a few pieces of sorghum rice flour from his waist bag.

The bread was wet and soft - soaked with rain but also some blood.

The Ninth Prince stared at him with interest with those slender and dangerous eyes.

Li Yunxin picked up the thin sword that the Taoist priest had fallen to the ground earlier, skewered the cakes, and roasted them on the fire like the Nine Princes.

After the cake was slightly burnt, Li Yunxin took one off the sword and brought it to his mouth to take a bite.

There was a slight click, and the burnt aroma and bread filled the mouth. But he tasted something else, something different—the smell of human blood.

He chewed and swallowed without changing his face.

Jiu Gongzi suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "What a wonderful person! I have seen a demon who likes to eat the same kind of flesh and blood, but it is not as interesting as you!"

Li Yunxin felt that he had figured out his temperament, so he forced his courage and said, "I haven't heard of such a thing as a human demon. The Ninth Prince is well-informed, presumably-"

Halfway through his words, a thunderclap suddenly sounded overhead, and the ground seemed to tremble.

This explosion seemed to startle the Ninth Prince. He put down the human flesh in his hand and stood up and looked up. After looking at it for a while, he suddenly frowned, and then turned into a black yin wind and jumped out of the door.

As soon as he saw it go out, this time Li Yunxin did not hesitate at all, picked up the thin sword in his hand, and rushed into the rain curtain desperately, and then desperately fled into the dense forest!
