Chapter 11: The Awakening of the Soul
Everything in the world has a cycle of cause and effect, and there must be an effect, not to mention a series of stories triggered by people.
On the battle line between the two armies, Ling Du and Zuo Gongming stood head-on.
Facing Ling Du, who had disappeared for ten years and suddenly appeared, Zuo Gongming asked again and again: "Ling Du, why did you become like this? What did you go through? Why did you do this?"
Hearing Zuo Gongming's series of questions, Zuo Gongming looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha... What a joke, are you taking pity on me?" Ling Du spoke, his eyes full of fierce light, and he paced back and forth in front of Zuo Gongming.
As he spoke, Ling Du seemed to have thought of something, suddenly stopped, returned to Zuo Gongming, and said: "To say, I have to thank you, if you hadn't sent me to the barren valley for a hunting mission, I wouldn't have walked into the Styx, I wouldn't have strayed into the Styx, I wouldn't have met the Red Girl, and I wouldn't have found the lost self." Ling Du's words became more and more excited, and he stared at Zuo Gongming viciously.
Hearing Ling Du's words, Zuo Gongming couldn't help but take a few steps back, looking at Ling Du with horror in his eyes and feeling very unfamiliar: "What? What did you say? Are you awake?"
"Haha... Surprised, didn't you expect it?" Ling Du's face was gloomy, and his sharp eyes looked at the people in a panic.
Ten years ago, Ling Du was ordered to go to the barren valley to hunt a powerful desolate beast, but his strength was not good, and he was the only one who survived the original team of twenty people.
Above the barren valley.
The desolate beast was red-eyed and chased Ling Du all the way. Ling Du ran away in a hurry and inadvertently broke into the River Styx.
The River Styx is the place where the Red Maiden was suppressed by the old patriarch of the Feng clan thousands of years ago.
Due to the fact that there were many terrifying beasts in the River Styx, the desolate beast did not dare to move forward and continue to chase after it, and Ling Du escaped by luck.
The River Styx is a deep pool of black water, the pool is deep and bottomless, into a long and narrow shape, five hundred zhang long and two hundred zhang wide, there is nothing floating in the black water, it is in the southwest corner of the southern Xinjiang and the western wilderness, close to the territory of the Winged Serpent clan.
Ling Du saw that he shook off the desolate beast and found a corner to sit down, gasping for breath and looking around from time to time. This place was very strange to Ling Du.
At this time, it was noon, and the sky was still clear and cloudless. Ling Du raised his head and looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black clouds, the distance between the black clouds and the ground was extremely low, and an inexplicable depression and uneasiness surged into his heart.
"What's that?" The atmosphere that was originally overpowering the black clouds made Ling Du very uneasy, and suddenly the scene in the distance was even more astonishing.
The sky was dark, and a black pillar of clouds suddenly appeared in the distance, and the pillar of clouds was covered with thunder, and from time to time there was a rumbling of thunder, and a cloud of red light could be faintly seen under the pillar of clouds.
Ling Du was attracted by this strange sight, and suddenly got up and approached the red light.
"Whew. ”
As soon as Ling Dufang approached the red light, he heard a roar, which was very loud and deafening. Ling Du opened his mouth wide, his body curled up on the ground, and his hands tightly covered his ears, extremely uncomfortable.
"Knock knock..."
Even if you cover your ears tightly, you can clearly hear the sound of the approaching footsteps.
The direction of the sound was from the left, and Ling Du noticed the footsteps approaching in the distance, and the speed was very fast, and he concluded that it must be fierce, otherwise how could the earth tremble.
"You have to be prepared. In a panic, Ling Du struggled to stand up, his hands did not dare to leave his ears for half a minute, and his body shook with the tremor of the earth.
The sound of footsteps became clearer and clearer, and Ling Du knew that the murderer was getting closer and closer to him.
The roar stopped, but the footsteps that approached did not stop, and they still ran wildly.
Ling Du freed his hands and drew his long sword from his waist, his sharp gaze locked on the direction where the giant murderer was coming.
Close, close...
"Woo" was another roar, and the whole body was covered with thunder, and the wide-mouthed giant beast appeared in front of him.
The body of the giant murderer was really too big, four feet high, and Ling Du was stunned. Faced with a giant murderer he had never seen before, Ling Du actually forgot to defend and attack.
Ling Du raised his head and looked at the big murderer who was high above his head in a daze, and under his big mouth covered with fishy mucus, the huge giant claws slammed down.
Ling Du came back to his senses, turned sideways and changed directions, and managed to dodge the fierce attack with great difficulty.
There is a huge difference in the proportions of the giant murderer and Ling Du's body, and Ling Du was not killed in several attacks, and the giant murderer went crazy.
Although Ling Du had dodged several attacks from the giant murderer, he knew in his heart how difficult and lucky those dodges were.
Looking at the powerful giant murderer in front of him, Ling Du was puzzled in his heart, to say that he had been to the barren valley several times, and the powerful giant murderer had also killed several heads, but in addition to his strength, the giant murder in front of him was essentially different from the giant murderer he had seen in terms of size and appearance.
"Could it be... Is it not a desolate beast at all, but a strange beast?"
Ling Du's guess was right, the big guy it was facing at this time was the alien beast entrenched in the River Styx.
Alien beasts originally appeared on this god continent 100,000 years ago, but they have been living in groups on the banks of the River Styx. The strength of the alien beast is not only strong, but also terrifying, so outsiders dare not approach this Styx, let alone see this alien beast.
Thinking of this, Ling Du's heart was cold, he didn't know how terrifying the strength of the alien beast he was facing, he didn't need to fight this battle, he already knew the outcome of the battle.
"What to do? I don't want to die at the hands of this brute. Ling Du knew that he was powerless to return to the sky, and he was afraid. Anxious, he looked left and right, trying to find an exit and wait for an opportunity to escape.
Just when he was desperate, he saw the red light, and it was that red light that became the lifeline for his last fight.
Ling Du couldn't help dodging the fierce attack of the giant murderer, turned around a few times, and ran towards the red light not far in front of him.
The beast was in hot pursuit, and the speed was extremely fast.
The beast's giant claws full of flames swept behind Ling Du, and although it did not touch Ling Du, there was still a sharp pain in Ling Du's back bones that were burned by the flames.
Ling Du ignored the pain and continued to run wildly. Seeing that the red light was close at hand, and saying that it was too late, Ling Du turned around skillfully and pounced to the right.
"When..."
A heavy, crisp bell reverberated across the River Styx, and thunder rumbled over the River Styx, setting off a huge wave of earth-shattering waves.
Ling Du didn't care about the condition of the strange beast at this time, and was rolling in place, slapping his head with both hands, and the miserable voice burst out of his throat, tearing his heart out.
In just an instant, Ling Du's head had turned the color of charcoal, and his hair was burned to the ground.
It turned out that just as Ling Du pounced to the right, the giant claws of the strange beast covered with flames happened to sweep his hair. In just an instant, the flames spread to Ling Du's entire head.
Ling Du's injuries were not light, his head had been burned, but fortunately he was not disfigured, unfortunately I am afraid that his hair will not grow anymore.
In addition to the sharp pain in his head, Ling Du was tired at this time. Ling Du opened his eyes slightly, there was silence around him, and even the light around him was not as bright as Fang Cai.
Ling Du slowly shifted his body and looked to the left back, wanting to see the condition of the strange beast. Ling Du was surprised, not only was the strange beast gone, but even the red light had disappeared.
Ling Du was puzzled, but he didn't take it to heart. His hands struggled to support his body, and he wanted to get up and leave the place immediately, if there was another strange beast, his life would really be lost here.
"Haha..."
Just as Ling Du wanted to leave, suddenly there was a woman's laughter in the distance, and the laughter was extremely weird.
Ling Du turned his head violently and followed the prestige.
I saw that not far from me, at the red light, a woman in red appeared at some point.
The woman, dressed in red, with red hair, has a graceful figure and an excellent appearance. But a woman with such a sign, in Ling Du's opinion, has an indescribable fear.
"Who are you?"
At the same time that Ling Du saw the woman in red, the woman in red also discovered him.
Ling Du shook his body, no longer had the strength to answer her question, and fell to the ground unconscious.
At this point, it was really Ling Du's turning point, he never dreamed that she would inadvertently knock over the Feng Clan's Seal World Bell Realm and make the Red Girl break the seal and reappear in the world.
The morning sun is shining brightly.
Ling Du opened his eyes fiercely, and his eyes swept away the softness of the past, full of fierce light, "Where is this?" At this time, Ling Du's soul consciousness in his previous life awakened, and the demon god came into the world.
"You're awake? You know you've been asleep for a whole year. ”
The person who spoke was none other than the woman in red.
"Where is this, who are you?" Ling Du had been asleep for a year, but he was very impressed by the woman in red.
In a trance, Ling Du recalled everything that had happened to the River Styx.
At the moment when the strange beast collided with the Yin Shi Clock, the red light exploded, and a wisp of red smoke invaded the body, presumably it was the wisp of red smoke that made him fall asleep.
"Haha... Who am I?" The woman in red caressed Ling Du's chest, and said coquettishly: "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that you saved me, and I saved you, right?"
Ling Du shook off the hand of the woman in red and shouted, "Presumptuous, you dare to tease this Demon Lord." ”
Ling Du's block, the woman in red almost fell, hearing what Ling Du said, the woman stuck up again, and said with a smile: "Yo, you are the Demon King, I am the Witch, aren't we a pair made in heaven, why don't you make a promise with your body?"
"Hmph... Are you a witch?," Ling Du pushed the woman away again.
The woman's face changed drastically, she got up with a kick, and Ling Du was kicked to the ground, "Hmph... The old lady didn't dislike you, but you disliked the old lady and I first, if you hadn't knocked over the Indian clock, you would have been able to enter the eyes of the old lady and me..."
When the woman in red was gushing and scolding, Ling Du looked at his hands blankly, "How can this be?" Ling Du was deeply surprised that he was easily beaten away by the red woman, no matter how he used his mana, it was only the mid-stage strength of refining qi and transforming gods.
Ling Du's soul consciousness had awakened at this time, but the mana of his previous life had not been restored, and only the mortal cultivation of this life remained, and his strength was only the strength of ordinary cultivators.
