Chapter 1: Ill-fated (I)
The Northern Wilderness Ice Plain has short days and long nights, and the wind and snow are raging and uninhabited.
In the heavy snow, a man in black carried a seven or eight-year-old boy on his back and trekked against the wind, walking between the lonely and empty world.
The little boy's face was pale, and his eyebrows were condensed with a strange black gas. Dark purple dreadlocks fell limply from the mink hat, and a pair of amber eyes, which should have gathered the brilliance of brilliance, looked haggard and dull.
His hands were clasped tightly on the thick shoulders of the man in black, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were beating wildly from time to time, as if something strange and irritable was running through his body.
The man in black suddenly frowned, stopped, took out two red ambergris pills from his skin and stuffed them into the little boy's mouth, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, swallow it." If you really can't stand it, you can scream twice, and you don't have to force it. ”
The little boy's eyes slowly opened a slit, his teeth chattered and he gasped, "General don't worry, I can stand it." ”
The man in black silently lowered his head, and the Secret Luck Divine Skill crossed a majestic Shuoyang Gang Qi into the little boy's body, helping him resist the terrifying pain in his body.
"Your Highness, rest assured, we will definitely find the Ten Thousand Years Xuanfrost Holy Dragon and obtain the dragon's blood!"
"I prefer to eat meat rather than drinking blood, I heard that dragon meat tastes good!" The little boy felt that all the internal organs in his body were being eroded by the ten thousand Gu devouring bites, even with the medicinal power of the ambergris pill and the support of Shuoyang Gang Qi, it was still more painful every moment, and it hurt until he died.
He deliberately pretended to be casual and smacked his lips: "General, I heard that you have eaten phoenix meat, how does it taste?"
"It's the best delicacy and the aftertaste is endless. The man in black narrowed his eyes and smiled: "When the witch Gu on His Highness's body is removed, I will accompany you to the south and catch a phoenix to fight for the tooth." ”
Suddenly, there was a faint roaring sound in the wind and snow, and the eyes of the man in black showed a vigilant light, his tall body stood still like a black tower, and his right hand slowly stretched out to the giant black cone that was seven feet eight minutes long and was inserted diagonally behind his back, and a string of chains the thickness of a finger were clasped on the cone handle, which was wrapped around his strong and round right arm like a dragon.
Seeing this, the little boy immediately closed his mouth and listened quietly, he could not hear anything unusual in the wind like the general, but instinctively sensed that in this polar night where he could not see his fingers, in addition to the rumbling and roaring cold wind rolling up the sky of ice and snow, like a whirling silver dragon rushing and passing through his body, there was also a danger lurking in the boundless darkness, more fatal and unknown than the bitter cold of heaven and earth.
Gradually, he heard a low, hazy roar coming from the southeast, and it didn't take long for it to become distinct, as if a large group of fierce beasts were rapidly approaching here.
"Your Highness, we will have leopard meat to eat soon. ”
There aren't many opportunities to encounter snow leopards on the vast Northern Wilderness Ice Field, and once they are embellished, they are very lucky. The man in black knew that even if he tried his best at the moment, the greedy predators of the ice field would chase after them until they tore them to pieces and devoured them all.
Instead of wasting effort in vain, it is better to fight a bloody way out of the work and survive in death.
The little boy's forehead rested on the man's back, and he said with a sad face: "Don't, the snow leopard meat is old and astringent, and it can't be chewed and chewed, I don't like to eat it." ”
The man in black smiled, thinking that he was worthy of being a descendant of the emperor, sleeping in the open for tens of thousands of miles, but he was always strong-minded at a young age, and he did not show any fear and trembling when facing the danger of life and death.
"It's okay, I have a secret recipe, and I'll let you taste the raw roasted leopard liver today, which is definitely no worse than any of the delicacies of the mountains and seas you have tasted in the palace. ”
"The ...... in the palace "Why do I want to vomit when I think of what I have to eat every day?" said the little boy. ”
"It's just enough to eat, if there is an altar for ten years of mulberry wine now, let me be a god and not change. ”
The man in black raised his arm and pulled out a giant cone, and the chain on the cone shone with a sonorous and crisp sound.
In the dark, the frantic roar of the snow leopard became clearer and clearer, and there seemed to be more than twenty voices to hear.
"General, I'm afraid I can't fit so much leopard liver in my stomach. Seeing the flickering blue and cold light in the eyes of the clusters of snow leopards in the depths of the blizzard, the little boy was stunned and muttered to the man in black.
Before the words fell, more than 20 snow leopards slowed down their running speed and fanned towards the two of them.
Each snow leopard is more than half a human tall and weighs more than 500 catties, and its white and flawless fur is inlaid with golden spots the size of a palm.
At this moment, the pupils of the snow leopard contracted and tightened into a thin line, and the figures of the man in black and the little boy were reflected in it, the man in black closed his eyes and sneered slightly, and suddenly shot his gaze to the back of the leopard group, and shouted loudly: "Get out!"
"What a Jinwu general, Ju Chongde, deserves to be known as the first warrior of the Han Dynasty, he actually noticed my traces so quickly, admire and admire!"
"Demon Night, it's you?!" Ju Chongde called out the name of the person who came in a deep voice.
A string of shrill laughter sounded like a night owl, but I saw a thin gray-clothed man with his arms outstretched, the cloak behind him like a bat winged in the wind, and his body glided out of thin air like a ghost, floating down into the leopard group.
The "Gray Bat" Demon Night is known as a murderer, and he is the most insidious and ruthless of the eight evils in the Metaverse, and he has committed the evil deeds of thousands of miles of chickens and dogs in the red land wherever he has passed. His cultivation has reached the realm of a drop in the ocean, and Ju Chongde is not sure of victory. What's worse is that this guy is talented and psychic and good at controlling beasts, and at this time, Ju Chongde not only has no helpers around him, but also His Royal Highness, who is seriously ill, needs to be taken care of.
Thinking that there has always been no grievance between the two, why did Demon Night find him, could it be for His Highness behind him?
As if to confirm the suspicion in Ju Chongde's heart, Demon Night stopped laughing and said, "Ju General, the child you are carrying is Ji Chengche? Please make it convenient, and there will be good rewards in the coming days. ”
Ju Chongde's thick eyebrows rose, and he snorted heavily: "Even if you know that it is His Royal Highness the Hidden King, you still dare to fight his idea, it can be described as a dog's heart." Without further ado, let's first ask the big black in Ju's hand if he agrees!"
"Entrusted with the matter of loyalty, General Ju, I can't help it, please bear with me. Demon Night sighed softly, pursed her lips and let out a sharp whistling sound.
Hearing the sound, the two snow leopards rushed forward, one left and one right, and pounced on Ju Chongde.
"General, be careful!" Ji Cheng's eyes widened and he hugged Ju Chongde, forgetting the pain of the witch Gu attack for a while.
He really wanted to fight side by side with Ju Chongde, but the witch Gu accumulated in his body was not only raging with poison all the time, sucking and gnawing on the essence and blood and internal organs, but also cut off the path of cultivation. Today's Ji is clear and full of holes and weak blood, which is far inferior to an ordinary child.
So Ji Chengche added a lot of distress on weekdays, he knew that others could fight hard, and he could only be useless to be a sick man who could only gasp.
- How can you do it so that it is not a burden?
I saw Ju Chongde exhale and raise his voice with a majestic voice, and the small Qiankun in his body burst out with a fierce and thick Shuoyang Gang Qi, like a big river rushing straight through the giant Xuan cone.
The giant cone roared loudly and burst into fine light, like a thunderbolt flashing through the sky, tearing through the heavy wind and snow, and the muffled sound of "bang" accurately hit the snow leopard that pounced on the first two heads.
The steel-like head of the snow leopard on the left was hit by a giant cone, and the "Kaba" shattered the brain and killed him on the spot.
The snow leopard on the right was much luckier, it was hit in the back by the giant cone, and rolled out of the air with a scream, although it broke several ribs, but finally saved its life.
Ju Chongde retracted the giant Xuan cone, his body was immovable, and a pool of blood oozed from his right ribs.
Demon Night glanced at Ju Chongde's wound, and said hesitantly: "The situation of the giant general doesn't seem to be good, otherwise he wouldn't have been injured under the claws of the two snow leopards." ”
Ju Chongde Yungong sealed the wound and said: "What kind of injury is this, it's just an itch from a reptilian scratch!"
His figure did not retreat, but advanced, and the cone rushed straight towards the snow leopard. Capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as you kill or drive away the demon night, you can make dozens of snow leopards without a leader, and win a glimmer of life for yourself and Ji Chengqing.
The snow leopard smelled the strong smell of blood emanating from the snow, arousing the ferocious beast nature, and roared and pounced, as if silver lightning struck Ju Chongde.
Ji Chengche forced himself to stare at his eyes, and heard the heroic shouts of the general, as well as the rumbling wind and thunder brought by the dancing of the giant Xuan Cone and the terrible roar of the snow leopard herd......
Strings of cold blood splashed on his face, and even hung on his eyelashes, without a trace of temperature, and he didn't know which was human blood and which was leopard blood?
Suddenly, he felt Ju Chongde's body stumble and almost fall, only to see that the general had killed the leopard herd, leaving blood all over the ground and broken snow leopard corpses behind him.
Ju Chongde had three more wounds on his body, one of which went straight from his thigh to his knee, and blood gushed deep into his bones, which was why he stumbled just now.
The viper-like eyes of the demon night shimmered brightly, staring at the scars on Ju Chongde's body, and stood coldly with his hands in his hands.
He didn't seem to care about the death or injury of the snow leopard, and he didn't mean to besiege it, but more like he intended to use this group of ice beasts to consume Ju Chongde's power as much as possible.
"Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles. A cold gaze flashed in his eyes, and he hummed: "'Ben Lei' Ju Chongde, when you meet me today, even if you lose, it will be your glory!"
"your grandma!" Ju Chongde spat at the blood foam, the battle intent burning more in his chest, and his hand was as steady as a rock and slowly untied the chains wrapped around his arm.
His left leg was wounded, which was not conducive to hand-to-hand combat, so he prepared to use the length of his chain to move the giant cone for a long-range strike. In this way, it will inevitably multiply the loss of power, but the situation is pressing, for the sake of Ji Chengqing, even if it is a jade stone, it will not hesitate.
At the last moment, I suddenly heard Ji Chengche shouting: "General!"
Ju Chongde was taken aback and said, "Your Highness, are you injured?"
Ji Chengche shook his head, looked at the demon night and asked, "Bat Face, you just said that someone wanted to see me?"
Tong Yan Wuji, Demon Night gritted his teeth and smiled: "Yes, but I can't tell you who he is." ”
Ji Chengche blinked and said, "I don't want to know who the person who sent you here is." But if I die, will that person blame you?"
Demon Night was taken aback and said, "Don't ......"
Ji Chengche didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he suddenly reached out and pulled out a silver short sword from his little leather boots, put it on his neck, stared at Demon Night's stunned pale face, and grinned: "Very good, at least you made me understand that I am not completely a waste." ”
