The setting sun was like blood, and swarms of carrion birds flew by in the sky, hovering nearby, Zheng Wan seemed to be able to hear the shrill screams of the birds.
"Wipe."
Shuyuan handed over a Supa.
Zheng Wan took over:
"Thanks."
The ten fingers that were holding on to the tree just now were stained with blood, she wiped them one by one, and as the last bit of blood was wiped away, it seemed that the gaffe just now was also wiped away.
She glanced at the ground, there were streaks of blood-colored liquid winding out of the yellow-brown dirt road, and the white-haired old man on the ground stared straight at the sky with his bulging eyes. For some reason, this scene suddenly overlapped with the dream she had once had. .
She has not thought of that dream for a long time.
In her dream, her Aye was also lying on a desolate slope with his head and body in different places, with weeds overgrown and no one collecting his body. Before he died, he was still questioning God——
Zheng Wan closed her eyes.
"Heaven is not benevolent, and treats everything as a straw dog."
Shuyuan looked into the distance with his hands behind his back.
"What happened?"
At this moment, Jingyue and her party of three arrived from behind. They were in a hurry and were in a mess. Most of them were sweating profusely when they arrived here, and they obviously tried their best to get here.
After Jingyue finished asking, she saw a field of stumped limbs and broken arms that had been gnawed by strange beasts. Looking roughly, there were twenty or thirty counts visible to the naked eye, and one person seemed to be a familiar face she saw in the morning.
Her face was like the bottom of a pot: "Beast."
The second senior sister also had a soft smile on her face, and murmured:
"The alien beast... has entered the village."
"Which bastard put it in? What about the other group?"
"They sent the signal. When we got here, we haven't found anyone yet. It is estimated that something changed in the middle."
Gui Jing's face was solemn, and he released his soul consciousness, and then he slapped the Yuan beast bag, released the brown rat, the double-winged snake and the golden ring tiger, and jumped onto the tiger with a strong body, and turned around, "It's just that you are here, Let's go explore together."
"Damn."
Zheng Wan interrupted suddenly, "I want to go and see first... is she still there?"
"..."
Everyone fell silent.
The last rays of the setting sun fell into the horizon, and the sky and the earth were dimmed.
"good."
Gui Jing broke the atmosphere of silence, he patted Jinhuanhu, "I will lead the way, you follow."
Before the words were finished, Jingyue had already turned into a stream of light, and the others followed behind the two of them and went to the village together.
Zheng Wan also used the Ice Concealment Technique, and followed her without any hesitation.
From a distance, the whole village looked like an empty dead city. Around the two locust trees at the entrance of the village, there were countless corpses lying all over the way.
Some were bitten off at the waist, one was still on the road, and the other was thrown to the stone sill. Some were missing half of their heads, leaving only the bloody half, and there was even a pregnant woman with a high protruding belly, only the hideous half remained—
"His grandma's bears, the beasts."
Monkey-faced monk cursed.
Zheng Wan glanced over without seeing it, her nose was surrounded by a strong smell of rust, her soul consciousness was released, and she searched room by room, but there was no one there.
To be exact, not a single one was alive.
"Let me find—"
"Do not talk nonsense."
Gui Jing interrupted him, "Quiet."
Everyone looked dignified, as if they were facing an enemy.
The Soul Consciousness of the Dzogchen monks in the Yucheng Realm is fully unfolded, reaching up to a hundred feet, but within this hundred feet, there is no sign of a strange beast at all.
There are only two possibilities, either, the strange beast that slaughtered the village has already left. Or, they are still lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to move.
"etc-"
Just when everyone's vigilance was at its peak, Gui Jing suddenly raised his hand to stop everyone from moving forward.
The Brown Rat had already changed from walking on its hind paws to galloping on all fours. Its slick and smooth body shrank and moved, and suddenly burrowed into a narrow black alley next to it.
The night was completely dimmed, only the moonlight above the head was shining faintly.
"There's something going on there."
Gui Jing just wanted to say that I would go to investigate first, but saw two figures, one yellow and one red, shot out from the left and right, one with the momentum of fire, the other with the momentum of fog, the one on the left was Jingyue, and the one on the right turned out to be...
Zheng Wan.
This female cultivator of Yuqingmen has given him many surprises today.
And then, a blue figure passed by him—
It is Shuyuan.
Shuyuan followed Zheng Wan into the alley.
The alley is very narrow, and the stronger ones can't get in at all. The two tall walls are facing each other. The moonlight can't shine into this dark corner, leaving only deep and shallow shadows.
Zheng Wan stuck a Vajra Talisman and an Ice Shield Talisman on her body, and followed Jingyue in. When she was less than ten feet away, she stopped suddenly and her pupils shrank:
"Damn?"
I saw a shadow curled up at the corner of the wall in front of me. The shadow was small and very quiet, and the two braids of sheep's horns were scattered in a mess, leaving a dark phantom on the wall, like a terrifying creature lurking in the dark. beast.
"Damn?"
She kept her voice low, as if she was afraid of disturbing the shadow.
Jingyue bent down and turned the shadow over.
A round face with baby fat was exposed, the milky white face was covered with ashes, and a bloodstain just ran across the chin from between the eyebrows—
It's a jerk.
Those black onyx-like eyes were tightly closed, as if out of fear, his limbs curled up into a small ball.
"she… "
Hopeless.
Jingyue opened her head, but saw the pair of tightly closed eyes on the ground opened tremblingly, and the gray eyes fell on Zheng Wan who was at the side, revealing a strange expression: "Sister Fairy..."
But soon, the look in those eyes disappeared again.
The girl didn't say anything, and closed her eyes again.
The snowball-like child huddled at the base of the wall, as if that was her strongest shelter, her left hand drooped limply, and rolled out a piece of well-protected sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
The sweet-scented osmanthus cake was still intact, so she didn't want to eat it.
"Gone."
Jingyue probed her breath, "Let's go."
The bastard is dead.
Zheng Wan picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and squeezed it in her hands. The stickiness of her palms disgusted her, but the anxiousness in her heart made her feel even more unbearable.
Shuyuan looked at her with strange eyes, originally thought that this delicate nun was going to cry again, but unexpectedly she refused to shed any tears.
Others followed, and seeing this scene, Gui Jing sighed:
"Go back and find the monk from the Tianluo Sect to save you, let's go."
"etc-"
Zheng Wan leaned over and hugged Ya Dan, her body was still warm, curled up in a small ball in her arms.
Kyungsoo frowned:
"What are you doing?"
Zheng Wan didn't know what that intuition was, but Ya Dan's last glance was clearly trying to tell her something, so she bent down and touched the corner of the wall.
"gone-"
Gui Jing suddenly said, "Something is coming."
At this moment, in the dark alley, pairs of eyes popped up densely at the north and south exits, faint blue, like lamps the size of fists.
This situation, Zheng Wan felt inexplicably familiar.
"Shadow Transformation Wolf!"
The monkey-faced monk yelled, "This... how many are there? Boss, we won't die here, right?!"
That's right, in the short distance, Cui Wangyi's manpower is fighting against the Shadow Transformation Wolf. Most of the Shadow Transformation Wolves are cultivated in the middle realm, but judging from the densely packed eyes, there are probably hundreds of them hunting them this time. .
Moreover, two intersections were blocked, and even the shadows of the shadow wolves appeared on the left and right high walls... This is a catch in a urn.
"Bitch."
Jingyue scolded him, and her whole body showed a defensive posture, "I guess this is the culprit who slaughtered the village. There must be a wolf in the hunt in an organized way. Captain, what do you think should be done?"
Most of the wolf's cultivation base can reach the Jade Realm.
Ants kill elephants more often, not to mention Shadow Transformation Wolf is famous for never retreating.
"I can only find a way to break out from one direction. I will lead, Jingyue Palace will be behind, and the others will support in the middle. Zheng Wan and Shuyuan will assist..."
While speaking, Kei Jing released a firework bomb into the air.
"Huh—" At this moment, Zheng Wan's hand suddenly touched something. There was nothing in the corner of the wall, but she touched something soft and warm.
With a thought in her heart, she carefully took it out before leaving the corner, and everyone saw it.
The little baby in the swaddle was kicking on four legs and "giggling" at everyone, and the moment Zheng Wan took him out, a piece of jade on the baby's chest "slapped" and shattered. .
"Yinyu, I didn't expect..."
Hidden jade is not common, but it is not rare either. If there were monks in the family, it is impossible to keep this object to save the life of future generations.
Zheng Wan subconsciously looked towards the corner of the wall, lost Yinyu, and a small dog hole was exposed there, just enough for the baby to hide in, and the place where the girl lay down was right here.
She blocked the hole with herself.
How scared she was, she shrunk herself into a ball and tried her best to cover the opening of the cave, and there were so many wolves outside... She was still so young, but she was still desperately protecting her younger brother.
"Take him, we won't go far."
Gui Jing frowned.
At this moment, the wolves seemed to have received an order and launched an attack at the same time—
The phantom wolves above the head rushed over overwhelmingly.
The phantom wolf, named phantom, is naturally as powerful as a shadow, and it will never die.
Shuyuan took a step forward, stepping on the ground with one star, "Let's fight!"
Jingyue held a fire bow, and her arrows never went empty, but even so, the number of phantom wolves did not decrease at all. Gui Jing stood in the front, and monkey-faced monk, second senior sister and others also began to help deal with it.
"Zheng Wan, put down the child!"
Gui Jing said.
