Chapter 3: Demons
In the process of climbing Tianbu Mountain, the rugged and dangerous mountain road is indeed very dangerous, but for climbers, the biggest threat is from the demons in the mountain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info these monsters are treacherous and changeable, hunting mountaineers in Tianbu Mountain, and I don't know how many innocent people have died under their fangs.
Although Haoran Academy has always regarded itself as a famous family, it has turned a blind eye to the evil beasts in front of its own door and allowed them to be fierce on Tianbu Mountain. Those who have many things have said: Tianbu Mountain is still the largest demon lair in the world, and Haoran Academy is a hotbed to protect it.
"Ahh But when everyone looked in the direction of the sound, they only saw a long trail of blood on the ground, and they could not see the poor man who made the scream. Most people didn't know what had just happened, and just asked the people around them in a panic, hoping to get some unrealistic comfort from those people's mouths!
Several strong men rushed to the vicinity of the accident site for the first time, and carefully searched around, hoping to find any clues. And the various teams in the large army have also been on alert in case another demon sneaks up.
"Is it a demon?" the old man whispered to himself in disbelief, while unconsciously protecting Nu Tian behind him.
Nu Tian didn't pay attention to his grandfather's movements, because at this time, his brain was chaotic, and his eyes were staring at the dense forest not far away, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, and his body trembled involuntarily.
"It's finally about to start!" At this time, a sentimental voice came from not far from the two of Nu Tian: "Next is the terrifying 'Demon Path', if you don't want to die here, you have to be careful in everything......
It was an old man who spoke, and judging by his dress, he should be a warrior, and whether he was surrounded by a group of young samurai, carefully guarding around a gorgeous carriage. When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but look back at the group of people and listen carefully to their conversation.
"Master, isn't Tianbu Mountain the territory of Haoran Academy, why are there so many demons?" asked the old man with a puzzled look on his face.
"You don't know anything about this!" the old martial artist glanced at his disciple and said with infinite feeling, "Although in our eyes it is like a demon like a soul seducer, in the eyes of those cultivators in Haoran Academy, it is just a group of clowns who jump off the beam, and it is not worth mentioning at all......
"Then I don't understand it even more......" The disciple frowned and wanted to continue asking, but was stopped by the old man waving his hand!
"It's normal that you don't understand, because those demons were specially left behind by the academy!" the old man said with a wry smile, "Isn't it ridiculous? I also felt ridiculous when I first heard it, but all this is true. ”
"Why?" the disciples were shocked and couldn't help but ask sharply. The academy was a sacred pure land in the hearts of these low-level martial artists, but no one could have imagined that this sacred academy would be so disregard for their lives, which could not help but make them very angry.
"All of this, of course, is for the purpose of selecting the best students to enter the academy to cultivate!" the old man ignored these angry disciples, but continued very calmly: "The path of cultivation is full of thorns, and those who are not with great perseverance cannot reach the other side. If you value your life or fear the dangers on the road, you should not have set foot on the mountain in the first place......"
"......" Hearing the old man's bland and serious words, all the disciples fell silent for a while.
"Master, I heard that as long as you climb the ladder with your own strength, the academy will give that person a chance to become a distinguished student, I wonder if this is true?" After a moment of silence, another disciple finally asked.
"It's true, but it's not as simple as you think!" said the old man with a smile. On the top of the ladder, there is a huge alarm bell, which can accurately measure the breath of everyone who climbs the ladder, as long as the body has Haoran righteousness, the alarm bell rings the moment this person climbs to the top of the mountain, and shows the person's name, then he will really become a student of the academy; and anyone who climbs the ladder will be allowed to stay in the academy for three months, and within these three months, he can cultivate Haoran righteousness, and he can also become a noble student!"
"Haoran Zhengqi, what is that?" a disciple asked suspiciously.
"Well, I don't know very well!hahaha......" replied the old man laughing.
"Then master, haven't you been up the ladder a few times, haven't you given birth to Haoran righteousness?" an eventful disciple suddenly asked.
"This ......" the old man couldn't help but say bitterly when he heard his disciple ask about this, "It seems that I am not loved by God, or I am not the kind of person who has great perseverance and integrity......
"It turns out that wanting to become a student of the academy is not as simple as I imagined!" said the old slave man who was eavesdropping on the sidelines sighed to himself.
At this time, Nu Tian had expelled those strange thoughts in his mind, and slowly calmed down the horror in his heart. He glanced at the people around him and couldn't help but have a hint of retreat in his heart, but when his eyes fell on his grandfather, who was protecting him in front of him, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and his eyes gradually became clear again.
It seemed that there was no end to the mountain road, and the long procession walked for two long days, and the luck at the beginning seemed to have run out, and people were constantly attacked by demons on the way, and dozens of people have lost their precious lives by now. As for the two grandchildren of Nu Tian, they were very lucky, and they had not encountered a single attack until now, but the two of them were not careless because of this, but were careful everywhere, walking on thin ice! Of course, Nu Tian knew very well in his heart that all this was not because of their two grandchildren's luck, but because he sensed the danger in advance and skillfully avoided the attacks again and again.
"It's almost night!" said the old man, uneasily touching the empty bag, as if distracted. Now he regretted it very much in his heart, he never dreamed that the mountain path would be so dangerous, and he couldn't see the ladder after walking for five or six days, and they would become food for demons at any time.
Hearing his grandfather's words, Nu Tian looked up at the west in shock, only to see the scorching sun slowly descending in a blood-red sea of glow. Looking at the dreamlike beauty, Nu Tian didn't have the slightest joy in his heart, but thought bitterly: "In the past two days, my premonitions of danger have become more and more frequent, and just now it was even more terrifying as if there were hundreds of demons staring at us in the jungle, and now I don't know where to avoid the imminent death attack!"
"Hurry up!" At this moment, the old man suddenly pulled the slave and ran forward in a hurry.
"What's the matter, Grandpa?" Although Nu Tian had already guessed in his heart that Grandpa was also beginning to feel danger, he still couldn't help but ask.
"The atmosphere around is still not right, it should be that those demons are coming again!" the old man explained in a low voice as he ran: "The strength and experience of the group of guards in front of you are much higher than that of other teams, and following them may have a chance to avoid danger!"
"......" Although Nu Tian felt that his grandfather's idea was too naïve, he had no other good way at this time, so he could only follow cooperatively.
"Quack!" a piercing strange cry sounded, and the mountains and forests on both sides suddenly became violently agitated as if they had received a signal. Then, before everyone could react, dozens of black shadows suddenly jumped out of the jungle and rushed towards the mountaineers.
"Protect the wagons, they're coming!" the experienced guards and mercenaries were the quickest to react, quickly gathering their companions and quickly securing the wagons they were trying to protect.
"Boom ......"
"Ah......h
"Help......"
A series of loud noises woke up the sluggish people, but by this time everyone had completely obscured their eyes from the dust raised, and only huge figures were seen in the crowd. Immediately afterwards, a series of screams and cries for help resounded in the sky, and those guard mercenaries, who were usually extremely strong in the eyes of Nu Tian, were as weak as children at this time, and they were powerless in front of those demons. With a wave of a winged demon giant claw, several strong men who were fully armed immediately flew upside down, and the weapons in their hands were completely deformed, and Nu Tian was very sure that the blade made of stainless steel had lost its original value......
This sudden disaster caused chaos among the already undisciplined people, and the vicinity of the demon became an asura field, and blood and severed limbs were sprinkled all over the ground, causing people to flee in frenzy, even if they pushed down or trampled on their companions. Nu Tian happened to be not far from a demon at this time, and saw with his own eyes that the beast smashed a mercenary on the head, and sprinkled him with white and red. Although Nu Tian was far more mature than ordinary children, after all, he was only a twelve-year-old child, and he was stunned by the fact that he had seen such a terrifying human purgatory, and he stood in place as if he was stupid.
"Don't be afraid, follow me!" a big rough hand grabbed Nu Tian's slender wrist and pulled him aside.
The old man looked at the mercenary group in front of him who were resisting in a circle, and thought to himself that if his two grandchildren really stepped forward to ask for help, he had no doubt that the other party would cut them in half like demons. He looked back at his panicked grandson, his panicked heart suddenly calmed down, and he looked at the chaotic people around him, he gritted his teeth violently, pulled his grandson and rushed towards the jungle on the side.
