Chapter 429: The Thousand-Year Angler
By the time Seven Nights and Sky Snow arrived in the Black Forest, the soil had turned red.
A damp scarlet liquid flowed from the red soil, flowing from the deeper Black Forest, slowly soaking the earth outside.
They didn't stop outside the Black Forest, oblivious to the scarlet blood beneath their feet, and the two of them hurried into the Black Forest.
The Black Forest is full of towering old trees, their lush foliage obscures the sky, and even on sunny days, the Black Forest is dark and damp, so people often come here to cool off in the summer.
But in such a dark night, the Black Forest seemed to be shrouded in a faint light.
This is not normal.
There was no unexpected finger missing, but a faint light emanated from the depths, and Seven Nights and Sky Snow gradually walked into the depths of the Black Forest along the direction of the light, and saw a quiet lake.
There was an old man in plain clothes, sitting on a big rock by the lake, holding a fishing rod in his hand, and sat still.
The faint light they had seen outside before was emanating from this old man, and even though he was wearing the most modest clothes, there was still a light that could not be stifled from his robe, and his whole body was radiating light.
"Grandpa, what are you fishing here?" Xiao Kongxue asked curiously, glancing at the strange old man.
As if he had just woken up from his sleep, the old man opened his weather-beaten eyes, and then replied slowly: "Little girl, I have been fishing for a thousand years. ”
"What kind of creature is that, and why did it have such a strange name? Sorayuki tilted her head and cast her curious gaze on Nanaya, wanting him to explain.
Qiye pulled the empty snow to his side, then looked at the old man and said, "Old man, there is nothing in this lake in the Black Forest, you are fishing here for a thousand years, you are really in the wrong place." ”
Seven Nights didn't deliberately deceive this old man, there were indeed no creatures in the lakes of the Black Forest.
Because the lake is a bit odd, it only appears on rainy days, and on sunny days it turns into a black sinkhole.
Some demon cultivators have specially investigated, and finally found that this is caused by the special terrain of the Black Forest, which is an unfathomable sinkhole, and as a result, when it rains, the soil of the Black Forest is already damp, and all the water that cannot be absorbed flows into the sinkhole along the terrain.
Gradually, the sinkhole was filled with water, and it became a lake.
"This lake is sometimes dry, sometimes abundant, not to mention ordinary creatures, which life living in the water can withstand such a toss?"
The old man smiled freely, quite a bit of a fairy wind bones, he first glanced at the calm and waveless lake as Qiye said, and then looked at Qiye.
"Young man, the troubled times are dyed with red dust, but they are all a dream of the three thousand prosperous worlds, and the dream of a thousand years wakes up, I say that if you fish, that is the real fishing, don't believe it, you see ......"
As the old man spoke, he didn't see how his wrist moved, and the fishing rod in his hand shook, and the fishing line that had fallen on the lake was thrown up.
Crash!
The calm surface of the lake was broken, circles of water ripples spread out in all directions, and a corpse covered in scars and even soaked in the face was fished up!
Qiye's eyes shrank, but he could already see that this corpse was similar to the demon cultivator who went to Qiye City to inform them just now, both in terms of body and vaguely distinguishable appearance.
"Hehe, look, isn't this fish hooked?"
Xiao Kongxue had already quietly hidden behind Qiye at this time, wrapping her hands around Qiye's waist, and only poked out her head to look here.
She was not frightened by the corpse, but this old man who was originally a fairy wind bone, but her laughter at this time was a little gloomy.
"A thousand years of big dreams, the stars have been in the starry sky for more than a thousand years, old man, the air in the Black Forest is humid and cold, be careful to hurt your muscles and bones!"
"Haha, interesting human. I am the ninth star under the stars of Zhou Tian, and I came to crusade against those who rebelled on the orders of the starry sky. ”
When the old man said this, he flicked the fishing line in his hand, and the blurred corpse was thrown out and smashed towards Qiye.
Zheng!
The Evil Sword burst out with a terrifying sword light, illuminating the depths of the entire Black Forest in an instant, the corpse was cut off by a sword from it, and Qiye's left hand pinched another move, and another nine sword qi slashed towards the old man from one side.
The old man held a fishing rod in his hand and lightly tapped it on the surface of the Black Forest Lake, and a corpse with a demon cultivator shot out from the water, blocking in front of him.
The sword qi slashed at these corpses, and was consumed one by one, never approaching the body.
The fishing rod was dragged by the old man in his hand, dragged and painted in the lake, the dazzling light bloomed on the surface of the lake, and a drop of lake water splashed out of the lake, like a shrunken star brilliance, flying away at a fatal and tricky angle.
"Old man, as the will of the starry sky that does not know, it seems that I have forgotten to remind you of one thing - to use water in front of me, it is ineffective. ”
"Young people, sometimes self-confidence is a good thing. ”
Qiye's hand suddenly opened, and he pressed lightly towards the few drops of lake water that flew in, and the lake water that was soaked in the brilliance of the stars was indeed instantaneous, but before Qiye could make the rest of the movements, they accelerated violently and attacked quickly!
Fortunately, Qiye's reaction was not slow, he stood in front of him with the evil sword in one hand, only to hear a few consecutive crisp sounds of the bell, and his steps took a few steps back.
"It's a pity, sometimes you are too confident, that is, arrogant, and arrogant people generally find it difficult to survive this cold night. ”
The old man narrowed his eyes, and there was a finger-sized wound on Qiye's waist, and a drop of lake water rushed past the Sword of Evil Punishment, creating a wound on his body.
Blood gushed out, but was quickly stopped by Seven Nights, and at this time he suddenly raised his head and looked at the constantly rippling lake, where a blood-red shadow formed on the surface of the lake, and then broke through the water.
"The great starry sky will naturally not forget, in fact, as early as back then, it had already noticed you, the inheritor of the Nine Returns Cold Tide Formula, Seven Nights. ”
Nanaya finally understood why the water droplets, which had stopped just now, suddenly accelerated towards him again, causing his body to be injured.
"Blood Rakshasa! Illusory Realm! I misestimated!" He suddenly raised his head, looking at the blood shadow that walked out of the lake, and the memories and thoughts of Qiye were pulled back to the illusory realm that he had experienced on the way to Xiao Penglai.
There are many strange creatures in the Illusory Realm, but Seven Nights thinks that the Scale-Bearer doesn't have the ability to release them all.
But he was wrong this time, even if the illusion of reality was shrouded in the entire human world, the scale bearer still had the strength to release these creatures, and it would be a catastrophe for mankind!
"The greatness of the starry sky is far more than you human beings can speculate, even if the weigher betrays the will of the starry sky, but the starry sky still magnanimously gives it a chance to make amends, and gives it more powerful power. ”
The Blood Rakshasa walked from the lake step by step, and on the surface of the lake he walked on, the bloody footprints slowly faded away, and the entire lake became scarlet.
The enemy in the Black Forest is not the star they expected, not the old man who claims to be the ninth star under Zhou Tianxing, and there is one more Blood Rakshasa!
The Blood Rakshasa feeds on blood, and Qiye had seen their power when the Blood Slaughter River was in the river, and now the Blood Rakshasa has been completely released from the illusory realm, and its strength is not comparable to that of the past.
It's true that Seven Nights can control the Origin of Water, but he is far more than the only person in the world who can control the Origin of Water.
The Blood Rakshasa can manipulate blood, and under this seemingly silent and peaceful lake, it is actually full of the blood of those demon cultivators who were killed in advance!
It's just a trick to make Qiye ignore this piece, and he will be attacked and injured with the cooperation of the old man and the Blood Rakshasa .
"Give up, maybe your current cultivation is already the limit that human beings can reach, but in the face of the combination of the two of us, you can't be an opponent. If you choose to be loyal to the stars, there may be a chance to survive. ”
The old man swam the fishing rod in his hand, his eyebrows lowered, and his expression was indescribably relaxed.
He fell to the fish, the fish took the bait, and now it was about to be harvest time, and the joy was rightly deserved.
The blood behind the Blood Rakshasa slowly poured out, forming a huge blood shadow behind him, and the blood shadow continued to climb and skyrocket, soon surpassing the height of the Black Forest.
They teamed up to kill a large number of demon cultivators, and threw their corpses into the Black Forest, where the blood flowed and gathered in one place, forming a new lake, and then the old man used secret magic to manipulate the fake demon cultivators to report to the Seven Nights, so that he could throw himself into the net.
A series of plans are interlocked, and finally Nanaya is now in trouble.
Just when they thought that the starry sky would finally win easily, a chuckle from the Seven Nights was heard very clearly in the Black Forest.
"You may have misunderstood. I really didn't expect two enemies here, because I underestimated the wisdom of the stars, but that doesn't mean I'm going to lose, on the contrary, you don't seem to understand a little bit yet. ”
Nanaya's hand holding the wound slowly loosened, the wound on his waist had scabbed, and he raised his head again.
"Your biggest mistake is that you didn't call more companions to come over, maybe there was a chance to win, but now your chance of winning is almost zero!"
"Oh, what a confident human. Back then, you stirred up the wind and rain in the blood slaughter river, and we were all suppressed by the people in charge of the scales, so you escaped. Now that the two of us join forces, what are you going to do with us?"
"If words can lead to the ultimate victory, I don't mind saying a few more words to you. But alas, I'm pressed for time. ”
Nanaya let go of his right hand that grabbed the sword of evil.
After he said this, his hands suddenly interlaced, and a strange knot was formed on his chest.
In the surrounding Black Forest, a dull sound began to spread inexplicably, as if the air was vibrating, and it seemed like a heavy drum was beating somewhere, and the falling drum beat was getting faster and faster, and the Blood Rakshasa and the old man's heartbeat was getting faster and faster!
They felt the blood in their bodies rushing rapidly, rushing out uncontrollably.
The Blood Rakshasa feeds on blood, and naturally there is blood flowing in his body, and it is unknown why the old man also has blood in his body.
But all you need to know is that when they suddenly stretched out their hands in the seventh night, their bodies collapsed and tore apart, and they disintegrated and died in this way.
Qiye let go of the seal of his hands, and after two loud bangs, the Black Forest was silent, and after being stretched open by the blood shadow behind the Blood Rakshasa just now, a starry sky outside the Black Forest was revealed, and he raised his head and pointed at the dark starry sky with his sword without any scruples.
"You must know that the four most basic origins of heaven and earth, even if you are the starry sky, you must abide by the rules of this heavenly dao!"
