Snow in the middle of summer

(iv)

Unknown space.

The huge city-like cave is still floating quietly in this space, as if it has existed since ancient times, the traces left by the ruthless years are clearly visible, but it cannot be destroyed, in the dark yellow viscous air, there is an endless ** breath, the gap in the red aperture seems to be slowly expanding, and a trace of red air flow is also inadvertently, flowing outward. From time to time, it seems that in this dark yellow space, a yellow skull is making a strange laugh, which is creepy.

Xuanhuo Sect, Xuanhuo Sect, Nanyuan, Shentian Mansion.

Get up, get up, get up, give Lao Tzu!

Under Shen Tian's perseverance for five days of practice, Shen Tian was finally able to slowly move the distance of the teacup on the table, and let out a long breath, Shen Tian didn't know how his progress was compared to others, but if he knew that the other disciples were still trying to recall how to control the qi, he would definitely blow himself to the sky proudly, got down from the bed, stretched his waist, Shen Tian decided to walk around, after all, he had been in the house for five days, and he always felt uncomfortable if he didn't go out to move his muscles and bones, although there was no adverse reaction to his body on the surface, which was also the reason why he hadn't gotten rid of mortal habits。

Humming a small tune, he walked briskly to the woods on the other side of the stream, in the woods on the mountainside of this Xuan Volcano, there was no beast, unusually quiet, I don't know why, the beast only dared to swim at the foot of the mountain, did not dare to go up to the mountainside, Shen Tian walked aimlessly in this quiet woods, and suddenly stepped on something slimy under his feet, Shen Tian secretly thought, won't he be so unlucky, go out and step on?! But when Shen Tian raised his foot to see clearly, Shen Tian immediately tightened his brows, it was not the thing that Shen Tian thought, but a pool of blood, sticky blood, Shen Tian squatted down, broke off a branch, and studied this pool of blood.

Judging from the color of the bloodstains, it should have just flowed out, but there are no birds and beasts nearby, how did this bloodstains come about, besides, there is a corrosive sour smell in the bloodstains, and the viscosity is higher than ordinary bloodstains, and the branches make a sizzling sound when they are inserted into the bloodstains, this pool of bloodstains also has a certain corrosiveness, Shen Tian frowned and wondered, Shen Tian thought that he was no stranger to blood, he had been stained with blood when he was a child, but this kind of blood, Shen Tian saw it for the first time.

Just when Shen Tian was thinking deeply, suddenly there was a sound of friction in the distance, Shen Tian immediately dodged and hid in the bushes next to him, the sound of friction continued to come out, Shen Tian carefully distinguished, it seemed that something was struggling on the ground, Shen Tian followed the source of life, walked slowly, every step was very careful, Shen Tian knew that in this case, as long as he didn't pay attention to it, then what he would lose would be his own life.

Walking slowly all the way, looking at more and more blood stains on the ground, Shen Tian's brows became tighter and tighter, the amount of blood became more and more, and in the end, it could no longer be said to be a puddle of blood, but kept flowing out from the front like a stream, Shen Tian estimated that even a dozen adults did not have so much blood in their bodies.

The sound of the struggle became louder and louder, and Shen Tian seemed to be able to feel the ground shaking around him, and he could imagine how much pain that unknown thing was suffering.

Shen Tian found a hidden place, slowly showed his head, looked at the source of the sound, and saw a giant beast on the ground, churning in pain, the giant beast was black all around, the head was like a pig, the feet were like, there were only three hooves, the head was triangular, one was on the top of the head, one was on the forehead, and one was on the nose, Shen Tian recalled a little, and then learned the identity of the giant beast in front of him, this is a unique rhinoceros on the earth, but the cultivation of the introduction records that the rhinoceros is a herbivore, but the rhinoceros in front of him has fangs in its mouth, and its whole body exudes a tyrannical atmosphere, and then carefully look at the skin of the rhinoceros, and the whole body has fine horns―This is not an ordinary rhinoceros, but the legendary Tongtian rhinoceros, which is said to eat poisonous grass and thorny trees, in order to test the medicine, practice a skill, and then detoxify and relieve people's worries. But such a rui beast couldn't be associated with the evil beast in the pool of blood in front of him.

A large amount of blood flowed out of its mouth and eyes, and it was constantly struggling on the ground, Shen Tian looked at it, as if it was like a poultry that was tied up and thrown into the oil pot, but he didn't know where its pain came from, Shen Tian looked around it carefully, there was a mutilated corpse on the ground, as if it was a monkey, but when Shen Tian saw the head of the monkey, he couldn't help but gasp, the evil head Shen Tian could recognize at a glance, this was clearly the demon monkey that he had seen at the foot of the mountain, and could kill a black bear in an instant, but it seemed that this demon monkey was not enough to see in front of this Tongtian rhino, and it became a dish of Tongtian rhino。

The struggle of the Tongtian rhino gradually stopped, and the viscous and sour blood no longer flowed out, Shen Tian was puzzled, why there was so much blood in the body of this Tongtian rhino, when the Tongtian rhino spit out the last mouthful of blood, a square box mixed with that mouthful of blood fell out.

Shen Tian's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, although this Tongtian rhino is strange, it was originally a rui beast but it has become an evil beast, and it has changed its previous habit of eating grass and began to eat meat, but it is not so much that it is not even enough to eat the box, is it really hungry, and he is hungry to eat? Shen Tian thought that it was unlikely that such a thing would be likely, then this box must not be extraordinary, but there was too much corrosive blood, and Shen Tian couldn't step in to take the box, so he had to use the qi control method to move the box out.

About two hours later, Shen Tian was tired and almost collapsed, although the movement distance was not much, but for a beginner like Shen Tian, the physical strength consumed was quite large, fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, Shen Tian finally took the box out of the pool of blood, picked a few leaves casually, wiped the blood away, Shen Tian carefully observed the box, this box is very simple, black, long shape, the strange thing is that Shen Tian has never been able to open the box, and he doesn't think so much, Shen Tian took away the leaves that wiped the blood on the ground, buried them far away from the corpse, and then ran quickly to Beiyuan。

Shen Tian felt that this was an opportunity - the mutation of this Tongtian rhinoceros must not be accidental, just look at that demon monkey to get a glimpse of one or two, after informing Cang Ye and Cang Xuan of this matter, they will definitely focus on dealing with this matter, and their attention to Shen Tian should be reduced, so that Shen Tian will have more time to prepare for his own future, after all, for Cang Ye Cangxuan, Shen Tian can see from them that he is plotting against him.

When Shen Tian ran to the gate of Beiyuan, he happened to see Huiyun coming out of Beiyuan, so Shen Tian ran over and said, "Uncle Huiyun, it's not a good thing. Shen Tian tried his best to pretend to be flustered.

Hui Yun said: "Shen Tian, what is the matter, come quickly." ”

Shen Tian showed a frightened expression and said, "I found a corpse in the woods across the stream!"

Hui Yun frowned when he heard this, and he didn't ask much, grabbed Shen Tian, motioned for Shen Tian to show the way, and flew in the direction of the heavenly rhinoceros in the woods.

The blood on the ground has begun to turn black, and the viscosity is getting higher and higher, almost solidified into a solid, Shen Tian returned here, and was also shocked when he saw such a scene, the speed of coagulation was too fast, as if these blood were not in the body of the Tongtian rhinoceros.

Hui Yun saw the corpse of the Tongtian rhino, her brows furrowed even tighter, she naturally saw at a glance that this beast was the Tongtian rhino, but she was also confused by the mutation of the Tongtian rhino and the incomplete demon monkey corpse, Shen Tian saw Hui Yun's expression, knowing that she must have never seen such a situation, so she stood silently next to Hui Yun, when Hui Yun asked Shen Tian how he found out, Shen Tian told Hui Yun 1510, but he skipped the matter of the black box.

Hui Yun's brows furrowed even more after hearing this, and he asked Shen Tian to go back to the house to cultivate by himself, and then flew towards the Xuan Volcano.

Shen Tian looked at the back of Hui Yun flying away, and suddenly felt that he owed Hui Yun a little, but thinking of Cang Ye and Cang Xuan's conspiracy, Shen Tian felt that he had to do this, so he could only silently tell himself that he would have the opportunity to repay Hui Yun for bringing him into the cultivation of truth in the future. Thinking of this, Shen Tian took a step and quickly returned to the house.

Xuanhuo faction, Xuanhuo volcano, mountainside woods.

"Senior brother, what do you think? The kind old man asked.

"Rhinoceros to the sky. Cang Ye looked at the corpse and said gloomily.

Cang Xuan frowned, knowing that Cang Ye must have seen something, but he didn't tell himself, and after turning around and breaking away Hui Yun who was leading the way, he continued to say to Cang Ye: "Senior brother, now it's just you and me, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

"Senior brother, what do you think I can see? There are countless strange things in this cultivation realm, I can't do everything? I don't know much about this kind of situation, do you believe it or not. Seeing Cang Xuan's performance, Cang Ye knew that Cang Xuan thought he was hiding something, so he was dissatisfied.

"Senior brother, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to hear your opinion and refer to it. "Cang Xuan has a request for Cang Ye, so he can only swallow his anger.

"My opinion, okay, you look at the fangs of this Tongtian rhino, it is obviously mutated and grown, the fangs are sharp and barbs, indicating that it is not as simple as putting the opponent to death, and then look at the head of the demon monkey over there, although the fangs born have been almost destroyed by the Tongtian rhino, but it can also be vaguely seen that there are barbs. ”

"Senior brother, what do you mean?" Cang Xuan's face showed a frightened expression.

"I hope my guess isn't right. Cang Ye also frowned and bowed his head.

"This matter is not trivial, and I hope that the junior brother can study more, if it is really what we guessed, we still need to discuss with the junior sister how to deal with it. "Cang Xuan is sincerely asking for Cang Ye's help this time.

Cang Ye nodded when he heard this, and didn't say anything, although he was not appropriate Cang Xuan, but this matter would affect him at any time, and it was related to his own interests, so Cang Ye naturally couldn't help but care.

The two looked at it in silence for a while, and finally Cang Xuan waved his hand, and a fire burned the two corpses and traces of blood on the ground, but it did not burn a single grass or tree, and then the two flew back to their cave at the same time, leaving only the quiet woods, and the smell of burning in the air, unconsciously, night fell, in this summer night, the weather that should have been sultry, but it began to slowly become cold. There seemed to be one or two snowflakes falling quietly, but no one could find the huge Xuanhuo Sect, and the shadow of the night seemed to be like the huge mouth of a huge beast, devouring people's hopes.
