Chapter 10: Netherworld Fire
The sky gradually darkened, and the surrounding scenery became blurred under the cover of night, and the surroundings were quiet, and the desolate tomb ridge at night was still dark except for darkness.
Shi Yi and Datou waited for another hour, and estimated that it was almost time before they got up and walked to the depths of the Desolate Tomb Ridge.
As they walked, the two looked around vigilantly, but there was nothing but the more terrible dirt bag standing quietly around in the darkness. Anxiety gradually crept up on his face, and after walking for a while, he still found nothing, Shi Yi stopped and said softly, "Big head, it seems that this ghost fire is not easy to find, why is it too inefficient for us to go and find it separately, whether there is a harvest or not after two hours, we will gather here, what do you think?" The big head thought for a while, agreed to Shi Yi's suggestion, and the two of them found some large clods of earth and stacked a mound of earth as a sign of the meeting point. The big head gestured for a while, Shi Yi nodded and said, "Well, you have to be careful, if you can't beat it, make a bigger movement, I can hear it!"
After parting, Shi Yi walked in the direction of the west of the meeting point for a while, his eyes were sour, not to mention the Netherworld Ghost Fire, and he didn't even see the shadow of a living thing. The night of early spring was already a little warm, coupled with nervousness, Shi Yi's back was covered with a thin layer of sweat, he took off his outer coat and tied it around his waist, the breeze was blowing, and the faint coolness lifted his spirits, and he continued to look forward.
As he walked, Shi Yi's expression became more and more strange, and the surrounding environment made him feel a little familiar, as if he had seen it, and then he thought about it, this desolate tomb ridge was originally composed of many dirt bags and weeds, and it was normal for the environment to be similar everywhere, and he was making a fuss.
Suddenly, Shi Yi noticed that there was a mound of dirt, much smaller than other dirt bags, standing in front of him, and when he walked in, he was suddenly shocked that this mound was the one that he and Datou had piled in front of him. Why did you come back again? Could it be that it was too dark, and I walked around without noticing?
After pondering for a moment, Shi Yi looked up at the night sky, at this time, the peak of Xuanwu Mountain was already hidden in the darkness and completely invisible, so he found a relatively bright star as a reference and continued to set off.
After walking for half a long time, the mound of dirt appeared in front of him again, and a chill rushed straight to his head from his back, Shi Yi stopped, he had been staring at the stars just now, and he didn't turn around, how could he walk back here again!
Thinking about it, Shi Yi pulled out the demon suppression, held the cool hilt of the sword, felt a sense of security, and looked around. It was still surprisingly quiet, and I couldn't hear anything.
Shi Yi puffed up his strength and shouted, "Big head!" in response, there was still a boundless silence. Shi Yi was a little anxious, and rushed over in the direction of the big head.
As he had expected, after a while, Shi Yi saw the mound again! Completely impatient, he shouted, "Who! come out!" Suddenly, his eyes flashed behind a dirt bag on the side! "Long Xian!" The spiritual power silver dragon slammed into the dirt bag with anger in his eyes, and Shi Yi flew and rushed over, but there was nothing but scattered dirt!
Shi Yi's head burst out, and the anger in his heart ignited, something, hiding his head and showing his tail!
After tossing and turning, he still didn't find anything to trick him, Shi Yi simply sat down cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes and recuperated, and waited for the big head to come back to find him.
As soon as his mood was about to calm down completely, a beast roar made Shi Yi bounce off the ground, blocking the demon in front of him, and looking in the direction of the beast's roar. Sharp-clawed lynx! Shi Yi was stunned, how could there be a clawed lynx here? Doesn't this monster only live in the mountains? Immediately thinking of the nest qi he had suffered just now, hatred surged into his heart, let you taste my power!
The clawed lynx is also not ambiguous, one person and one beast come and go, sparks fly, and spiritual power scatters. After a few rounds, Shi Yi was shocked in his heart, the last time he encountered this monster, he had not succeeded in building the foundation, and now he is already in the middle stage of foundation building, but he is still fighting inextricably, it seems that this monster is really not simple!
After another collision, Shi Yi was shocked by the huge force of the clawed lynx and took a few steps back, compared to his own strength, he was not an opponent at all! Thinking about it, the clawed lynx had already arrived in front of him, and his two front paws grabbed at the chest, this beast! How did the speed become so fast! I didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly picked up the golden bell jar, and carried the grip hard, but he could no longer support it, and slammed into the dirt bag behind him.
Before he could react, his neck had been pinched by two sharp claws, and when he was close, he could smell the fishy smell in the mouth of the clawed lynx! Too fast! Shi Yi sighed, and raised the demon suppression in his hand to resist, but he felt that his arm was firmly grasped! There was also a helper!
Just as he was about to resist, he felt a familiar demonic power, Big Head! Followed by the sharp claw lynx that was firmly holding him in front of him, it began to twist and deform, and finally turned into a burst of white light, Shi Yi hurriedly blocked the dazzling light with his other hand.
After a while, things around him became clear again, and Shi Yi found himself lying on a dirt bag, the big head grasping his right arm with one hand and a strange creature in the other, shaped like an enlarged egg, with a pitted surface and a faint green light, which was lifeless. Netherfire fire!
The big head pulled Shi Yi to sit up, and made a gesture, which meant that he was looking for the Netherworld Ghost Fire just now, and suddenly heard Shi Yi's "big head", thinking that Shi Yi was for support, so he turned back. When he was about to arrive at the agreed meeting point, he saw a fluttering and glowing green monster in front of him, facing Shi Yi who was sitting not far away, and his mouth made a strange sound. Guessing that this was the Nether Ghost Fire, seeing that it didn't notice itself, the big head held his breath and cautiously leaned forward. Then he saw Shi Yi himself constantly fighting in the air, knowing that the situation was wrong, and solved the Netherworld Ghost Fire with an axe.
Shi Yi gasped, could it be that this Netherworld Ghost Fire can deceive people's hearts? From the moment he got lost and turned around in circles, to the sharp-clawed lynx, it was all an illusion? He was played as a monkey? If he hadn't arrived in time, I am afraid that he would have been planted in the hands of this monster today!
After confirming the details with the big head several times, Shi Yi was even more firm in his judgment, and angrily kicked the corpse of the Netherworld Ghost Fire a few times.
On the way back to the fishing village, he repeatedly emphasized to Datou that he should not tell the story of being played by the Netherworld Ghost Fire, and it was not until Datou made an oath gesture that Shi Yi was relieved.
