Chapter 52: The Trail of the Deserted Mountains
Some houses in the village were still emitting curling smoke, and it was cooking on a fire, Zhao Ming walked to the smoking house and knocked on the door, but no one opened the door for a long time, and no one responded.
Zhao Ming realized that something was wrong, pushed the door open hard, and saw that the food was still hot in the pot in the room, but there was no one in the room at this time.
Zhao Ming pushed open several smoking doors one after another, all of them were empty and there was no one, feeling extraordinary, it was dinner time at this time, why was the rice still hot, but everyone was gone?
Suddenly, a smell of blood wafted into his nose again, Zhao Ming was puzzled, it seemed that this smell of blood was very wrong, at first he thought it was the smell of blood from domestic animals, but now he smelled it, but he felt very abnormal, and hurried along the smell of blood.
Along the avenue, I soon saw a large number of people lying on the flat ground in front of the avenue of the village, these people were stiff, lying in the clearing, lifeless, rivers of blood, bloody breath, rushing in the face, flies flying, some of them had obviously been dead for some time.
These people are old and young, both men and women, Zhao Ming frowned, "Who is so inhumane and does such a hurtful thing?"
Both hands trembled slightly, then clenched their fists, stabilized their minds, and looked closely at these dead people, only to see that these dead people all had a common feature, they all had obvious blood marks on their necks, obviously the cruel beast did it.
"I just don't know if that demon will come again, although the people here have been dead for a while, but there are also some who have just died not long ago, and there should still be value in use, wait here to see if that person will come back. ”
This wait is three days, there is no movement in the village during these three days, and it is as silent as death, Zhao Ming's figure hidden in the darkness moved, relieving his stiff body because he had been in one position for a long time, "I plan to wait for another night, if that demon still doesn't come, I will bury these corpses and leave here." ”
At this moment, in the night sky of the village, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, and from the gap, a trace of moonlight quietly appeared, the moonlight was cold, like frost and darkness, sprinkled down, and fell on Zhao Ming's body.
The village was silent, only at this moment from a corner of the street, a low voice of Sisuo, the sound was poignant.
Zhao Ming was drowsy, and after hearing the voice, his spirit shook and he fixed his eyes into the distance, even if the night sky was deep, he could still see a figure passing quickly, heading towards the flat ground on the village street.
Zhao Ming immediately followed quietly.
I saw the figure in front of me, and a few flashes appeared in those corpses, and after looking around, a strange handprint was formed, and I saw the blood on the neck of the corpse lying on the ground, floating involuntarily, and then swallowed by the demon man, with a very happy expression.
"Evil obstacles!" Seeing this scene, Zhao Ming was furious in his heart, and then shouted, his feet slammed on the ground, his body burst up, and he waved the cangming in his hand, stabbing the figure directly.
When the figure saw Zhao Ming suddenly appear, his expression was very surprised, he left the corpse, and did not fight Zhao Ming, but quickly fled.
"Evil obstacles, where are you going to escape?" Zhao Ming chased after him, and the buzz that was urged under his feet was loud.
The figure didn't urge any weapons, the speed was very fast, and Zhao Ming was getting farther and farther away, but the demon's body was extremely weird, he was using his hands and legs together, on all fours, and running quickly.
Zhao Ming found that the distance between him and the demon man was getting farther and farther away, and he was in a hurry, using the vitality of his whole body, the golden blue vitality urged Cangming, and Cangming was urged to make a crisp and pleasant sound, and suddenly the momentum was great.
"Out!" With Zhao Ming's gesture, Cangming stabbed towards the demon with a roar.
"Gollumani!" the Shadow looked at the stabbing blade with some horror, and an incomprehensible sound came out of his mouth, and a blood-red beam of light shot out of the demon's hand, right in the middle of the fire.
Cangming and the blood-red light struck together, and under Zhao Ming's control, the beam was wiped out in the blink of an eye.
But when Zhao Ming was trying to find the demon shadow, the demon man was gone, hidden in the lonely forest ahead.
"Damn" Zhao Ming stomped his feet angrily, "Don't let me see you again, otherwise it will be your death." ”
Looking at the lonely forest in front of him, the seemingly endless darkness, as if frozen and still, Zhao Ming Junming's face couldn't help but have a faint anxiety, he took a step forward, but there was a soft sound under his feet, and the fallen leaves on the ground covered the ground, and his feet made a creaking sound when he stepped on it.
Zhao Ming sighed and muttered: "This sound will definitely alarm the demon, I entered alone, I don't know the situation inside, I'm afraid there will be danger, judging from the demon's ability to escape, it is obviously higher than his cultivation, but it seems that the demon is in a weak state, otherwise it would be impossible to escape in such a hurry." ”
Move, get out of here, go back to the uninhabited village, bury the corpses, stay in the village for the night, and then enter the forest tomorrow morning to find the heinous demon.
The heavy rain at night is like a note, frantically slapping this world, as if to use the water of the sky to wash away the ugliness of the world.
The next day it rained heavily and the sun was soft.
Zhao Ming stepped into the forest where the demon disappeared, although he was mentally prepared when he entered the lonely forest, he still didn't expect it to be so weird and sinister here, there were fogs and swamps everywhere, and he could die if he wasn't careful, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment along the way.
Suddenly, Zhao Ming stumbled under his feet, tripped over a vine branch hidden in the mist, his body was unstable, and he fell backwards, but fortunately, his mind was concentrated, and with a wave of Cangming, the energy he brought directly straightened his body, stabilized his body, and continued to walk forward.
"Are you looking for me?" a very hoarse voice, as if something had been stuffed in his throat, and an extremely ugly voice sounded very abruptly.
Hearing this voice, Zhao Ming turned his head suddenly, only to see a very strange-looking person staring at Zhao Ming on a thick ancient tree, with a hideous smile on his face.
"Qiang!" Zhao Ming drew his sword and glared at the people on the tree, and said, "You have killed so many innocent lives in the village, even the children who are powerless, women and children, you really lose your conscience!"
The more Zhao Ming spoke, the more angry he became, and his hands trembled slightly.
"It's them damned, no wonder I!" The man on the tree clutched his hands and feet on the trunk, rubbing constantly.
"You killed someone, and you still don't admit your mistake, it's really damned!" Zhao Ming was furious, and light flashed on Cangming's body.
"I just can't get used to the false face of your righteous path, the appearance of a superior person, but in fact, in essence, he is more ruthless than us. The demon man in the tree said with disdain.
"Don't talk nonsense, take your life, how can you know that I am a righteous person. Zhao Ming made a gesture and stabbed the demon directly.
"If I hadn't been injured and healed here, my cultivation would not be enough for me, I don't know if your blood tastes good or not, but I really haven't drunk a cultivator's blood for a long time. As he spoke, the Mato licked his lips and looked like he was enjoying it.
"Evil obstacles, death!" Cangming shone brightly, slashing at the demon man on the tree.
"Hmph!" The demon on the tree snorted coldly, and without seeing any tricks, he jumped directly from the tree and pounced towards Zhao Ming.
The nails of the palms of both hands are constantly growing, and in a moment they have grown half a meter, flashing with sharp light, and if they are hit, they will be hit and will be hit by a piece of flesh under their wrists.
Zhao Ming did not flinch, waved the cangming in his hand, and faced the demon.
The half-meter-long nails of the demon's hands fought fiercely with Cangming like sharp blades, attacking Zhao Ming's vital point.
Zhao Ming's figure flickered constantly, skillfully avoiding it, but he was still scratched by some sharp claw wind, and the blood flowed.
"Hmph!" Zhao Ming snorted coldly, his whole body was full of vitality, and the crisp sound in his hand resounded, resounding through the four fields, the light was great, and there was thunder in it, shaking the demon life away.
When the demon man's body retreated, he said something in his mouth, and the nails on his palms were completely detached from the palms, floating in the air, and attacked Zhao Ming under his control, and the nails rose in the air against the wind, bringing up a fierce wind, blowing the leaves in the forest into the air, forming a strong tornado.
Zhao Ming took two steps forward with his feet, and his momentum increased sharply in an instant, wielding Cangming and slashing at the attacking nails without fear.
"Boom!" Falling leaves in the sky, flying around, strong air waves, directly destroying the leaves in the air and disappearing into the world.
In this collision, the demon snorted and his body was knocked into the air, but the body that was knocked away disappeared in midair.
Zhao Ming cautiously observed the scene around him, knowing that the demon was still around, waiting for him to slack off and kill with one blow.
Time passed little by little, Zhao Ming still did not relax for a moment, completely vigilant, and felt all the changes around him.
"Whoosh!" With a rapid sound, the demon finally couldn't bear it, and appeared behind Zhao Ming and attacked Zhao Ming directly.
Zhao Ming had already prepared, the corners of his mouth flashed a dangerous arc, and he reflexively held the Cangming in his hand, ignoring the resistance of the air, and instantly slashed towards the sneak attacker.
The demon was shocked, he didn't know how Zhao Ming found him so quickly, his body was no longer able to dodge, his palms were directly grasped on Cangming, and then the nails on his palms quickly extended, and in the blink of an eye, they spread to Zhao Ming's body and grabbed Zhao Ming's head.
Zhao Ming's face remained unchanged, his whole body was full of vitality, the golden and blue vitality increased suddenly, and under the urging of the vitality, the light shone brightly, and he directly cut off the huge nails, and then the golden and blue vitality attacked the demon like a snake.
When the demon man's nails were broken, his face looked unusually pale, and he snorted, but he didn't expect that the sharp nails that he had always been proud of pierced through the heads of countless people, but today he was cut off by an inconspicuous blade.
He immediately flew backwards, panicked to dodge the incoming energy.
"Bang!" the demon rolled on the ground in embarrassment, unable to avoid the attacking vitality, and the gold and blue vitality blasted the ground directly into a deep pit.
The demon was furious, and he couldn't imagine that he was being bullied by a guy who had just entered the Juyuan Realm, "When I recover, I will definitely take revenge for today." "Saying that, I was about to leave.
How could Zhao Ming let him leave so easily, waved the Cangming in his hand and chased after him, and said coldly: "You don't have this opportunity, leave your life behind!"
