Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 31: Blood-stained Tianping Bridge

Views:

Many villagers in the villages near Huangji Town recognized Su Yun, because Su Yun was so special. He was probably the only real human being within a hundred miles, and he could not help but attract their attention.

The no-man's land is a place where monsters and demons run rampant and there are many dangers, including some monsters that have evil intentions towards Su Yun.

But the reputation of Tianmen Town made the monsters cautious.

Tianmen Town is one of the taboos in the no-man’s land and the culprit that caused another world to come six years ago!

Even after those guys turned into ghosts and gods, they were still giants in the no-man's land.

The formation of the no-man's land is not entirely due to Tianmen Town. In fact, the history of the no-man's land is much longer than that of Tianmen Town. Its early formation can even be traced back to the emergence of Tianshiyuan.

However, the no-man’s land was not originally as large as it is now. The event of the descent of the alien world six years ago in Tianmen Town led to the expansion of the no-man’s land.

Tianmen Town and the outer world incident six years ago are just one of the strange things in Tianshiyuan. Tianmen Town has gathered masters from all over the country just to study the strange things in Tianshiyuan.

Tianshiyuan is the most mysterious.

The monsters that experienced the arrival of the outer world are very wary of the residents of Tianmen Town, but there are also old monsters in the no-man's land who do not take Tianmen Town seriously.

Fortunately, the places where the old monsters live are often the core areas of no-man’s land, and they rarely come to places like Tianmen Town and Huangji Town.

The flowery fox and the three little foxes followed Su Yun, wandering around in the deserted market. All transactions in the no-man's land were made with Qinghong coins.

The Qinghong Coin comes from the Qinghong Crab in the North Sea. This crab has a blue rainbow pattern on its back. After eating the Qinghong Crab, you can break the crab shell and take out a Qinghong Coin.

This Qinghong Coin is said to be a metal from the sea that can be used to refine treasures.

There are "people" in Huangji Town who specialize in collecting Qinghong coins. It is rumored that they take them to the city and sell them to locals in exchange for Wuzhu coins.

In recent years, many monsters have come to the city to make a living and brought the Wuzhu coins with them. Gradually, monsters in Huangji began to use Wuzhu coins for transactions.

"Xiao Yun, can you give me two Qinghong coins?"

Huahu thought for a moment and said, "I want to buy something."

Su Yun took out two tied-up big crabs from the basket. The two crabs were heavy, and there was a hint of green on their shells.

Due to his poor eyesight and lack of a way to make money, he had to wait for high tide to set up traps on the beach and use the seafood to barter at the market for daily necessities.

Few "people" nearby would go to the sea to hunt, because there are monsters in the sea that are more terrifying than them, and they often come ashore to look for food.

Su Yun was familiar with the tides and could accurately calculate the high and low tides. He also knew how to set traps, so he was able to sell seafood to make a living.

However, rainbow crabs are difficult to catch. Their pincers are extremely sharp and powerful, and can easily break fingers. They are very dangerous. Su Yun can only use ground traps as traps, and can only catch a few during high tide.

Huahu carried two green rainbow crabs to a stall in Huangji and placed them on the stall. The two green rainbow crabs were still alive, bubbling with bubbles from their mouths.

The stall owner was an old man with white beard and eyebrows. He was sitting there in his clothes with his eyes closed, concentrating.

"Uncle Gou, I want to learn the art of transformation." Huahu said.

The old dog was wearing mink. He secretly opened one eye to glance at the flower fox, then closed his eyes again and said slowly, "So you are the kid from Huqiu Village. The art of transformation is a secret of our demon clan, but who can blame me for being a half-brother to the wild fox? Of course I will sell you the art of transformation. Although the wild fox and I are half-brothers, the art of transformation is a secret of our demon clan, so I still have to pay for it."

He picked up two blue rainbow crabs, stood up, and shook his tail: "Follow me."

Huahu called the three little foxes. The old dog frowned and stopped: "Second son of the Hua family, it's okay for you to go to the city. You are fourteen years old, but they also want to go to the city? They are too young!"

Huahu said, "Master Gou, there are only four of us left in Huqiu Village. After I leave, there will be no one to take care of them."

The old dog sighed and shook his head, "So why not just stay in the countryside? Why do you have to go to the city and die?"

Huahu was silent for a moment, then said, "We want to avenge the master!"

The old dog fell silent, walked away, and said, "Old woman, help me watch the stall! It takes two or three days to learn the transformation technique. If you have something to do, go and tell me as soon as possible."

Huahu hurried to find Su Yun and said, "Xiaofan and I will stay in Huangji Town for two or three days. Xiaoyun, you must be careful when you go back alone."

Su Yun smiled and said, "I have been on this road countless times, so you don't need to worry about me."

The flower fox left.

Su Yun strolled around the Huangji market for a while. It was indeed inconvenient without Huahu and the others. He couldn't see what the stall owners were selling.

Su Yun lost interest and returned alone the same way. It was still a little early to go to the market. When he arrived at Tianping Bridge, there was no one on the bridge. A young man came to the bridge carrying a basket and waited quietly.

His weight alone is not enough to carry him across the bridge; a few more people are needed.

After waiting for a while, I heard a voice: "Wait a minute! Wait a minute! I want to cross the bridge too!"

Su Yun heard footsteps approaching, and a man came to the bridge and stood not far from him. Su Yun smiled and nodded. The man saw him and said in a surprised voice, "Are you the boy from Tianmen Town?"

Su Yun asked curiously, "Brother, do you know me? Your voice sounds strange to me."

The man should be young, and his voice was deep after just changing. He smiled and said, "You are a celebrity now. Everyone knows you. I heard that you killed a few people in the city, and you hid from the magical powers of the Confucian scholars in the city at the Snake Stream. You are very powerful."

Su Yun frowned slightly.

"I have seen you from afar, but I have never met you. It is normal that you have not seen me. I just came back from the market after buying firewood."

The firewood carrier said, "My name is Li Yanzhen, from Lijiazhuang."

At this time, someone on the other side of the bridge shouted, "Don't dawdle, hurry up and cross the bridge, I'm still waiting for you to cross the bridge!"

Su Yun's ears moved: "The voice of the brother waiting to cross the bridge on the other side is also a little unfamiliar. Brother, we don't have enough manpower and can't cross the bridge!"

The man on the other side said angrily, "You are all carrying things, each of you weighs as much as two people, come here quickly, don't delay me from going to the market!"

Li Yanzhen smiled and said, "This guy has a point. Let's give it a try. If you can get through, then go through. If you can't get through, then come back and wait for a few more people."

Su Yun walked in front, and Li Yanzhen urged him, "Hurry up."

Su Yun smiled and said, "I'm blind and can't walk fast. Why don't you go ahead?"

Li Yanzhen shook his head: "I am carrying firewood. How can I get ahead of you on such a narrow bridge? Hurry up and walk."

Su Yun walked forward and unknowingly reached the center of the bridge. He took a few more steps forward. At this time, the bridge surface shook slightly and was about to sink to the other side.

Su Yun raised his eyebrows: "Brother Li, is there anyone else on the bridge?"

In front of him, there were two strange men with goat horns and human bodies. One of them was lowering his body with a long knife in his hand, and the other was standing behind him with a sword in his hand, ready to attack.

The two weirdos held their breath, beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, but they made no sound, and even their breathing was so light that it was unnoticeable.

The swords in their hands pointed at Su Yun, and the sword and knife tips did not move at all. Su Yun was only a few steps away, and he would automatically hit the sword tip!

"Where is the person?"

Behind Su Yun, the firewood carrier said unhappily, "You blind man, you are so slow. Hurry up!"

Someone on the other side of the bridge also called out, "Come over quickly, I have to cross the bridge to go to the market!"

What Su Yun couldn't see was that the man on the other side of the bridge was also a strange creature with goat horns on his body, and the man carrying firewood behind him also had goat horns on his head!

Su Yun apologized to them with a smile on his face, then continued to walk forward slowly.

The man carrying firewood's eyes flickered, and he slowly pulled out a long knife from the pile of firewood with his right hand.

He had great strength. He slowly lifted the load of firewood with his left hand, bent down, and placed the load silently on the bridge.

The stone bridge of Tianping Bridge is very narrow, only about one step wide, barely enough to accommodate a load of firewood.

The firewood carrier stared at Su Yun's back, his breathing a little rapid. He slowly straightened up, and at this moment, he suddenly saw a dragon swimming under Su Yun's skin!

It is autumn now, and Su Yun has added several layers of clothes, so his skin can only be seen from the back of his neck and ankles.

The firewood carrier would not mistake the dragon's sharp claws and head. He could tell the whole picture from just a few scales and claws. He could "see" that Su Yun's blood circulation must be extremely violent at this moment!

The man's energy and blood were so intense that they took shape and transformed into a dragon, flowing out from his heart. The dragon meandered along the surface of his skin, spreading throughout his body, forming a powerful force!

In a short period of time, Su Yun's lungs can breathe several times more air than usual!

The compression force of his heart is several times greater than usual, which greatly increases the blood flow speed!

All of his 600-plus muscles are ready, and the contraction and stretching of each muscle will provide several times more explosive power!

If his power were to explode, it would be as shocking as a gunpowder explosion!

"careful!"

The man carrying firewood roared, but just as he uttered the word "Little", Su Yun had already taken a step forward, and his body was almost stabbed by the sword in front of him.

Under the induction of the Qi, the two goat-horned monsters in front couldn't help but explode, stabbing forward with their long knives and long swords!

Just as they stabbed out with their swords, Su Yun had already retreated, avoiding the swords as if he had predicted it. While retreating, he had already performed half of the move of the dragon's tail and swept backwards with one foot!

Bang!

The load of firewood exploded, blocking the man carrying it's vision!

"Heart!"

As the man carrying firewood stood up, he roared out the second word, and Su Yun stretched out his left hand. Qi and blood hissed out of his body, forming the shape of a dragon's mouth around his palm!

With a ding sound, the long knife of the sheep-horned monster was caught by Su Yun's left hand, and the sharp blade did not even hurt his palm at all.

"Gee!"

Suddenly, a dragon roar was heard, and Su Yun's left arm twisted and spun. The long sword clanged and was twisted into a dough stick. The goat-horned monster showed a look of horror on his face when he saw that his arm holding the sword was also twisted into a dough stick!

There was a popping sound from his wrist joints and the fascia was torn. Then the flexor, extensor, short muscle, and digitorum muscles of the forearm rotated and twisted, and the arm bones also rotated, sending the invading force to the upper arm.

Snap!

His shoulder blade was dislocated, and the arm holding the knife was twisted into a dough stick tumbling in a frying pan. He could even see the violently throbbing muscles and burst blood vessels in his arm!
