Chapter 7 Kindred in the Dark
Continuous drizzle, thin clouds.
Fortunately, the clouds were too thin, allowing the faint moonlight to penetrate the clouds.
Oddly enough, the moonlight that left the sea area of the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Cave was no longer the blood-red color, but the cold moonlight, along with the silent drizzle, spread to the earth.
The corpse demon's eyesight is very adapted to darkness. With the weak moonlight, Balian took a clear look at this area in the shortest time.
There was wind under my feet, and after a moment, I carried the deer into a cave that was sheltered from the wind and rain.
After putting the deer down, Balian frowned when he saw that the short fur on its body was wet and hanging pitifully on its body.
Looking around the surrounding environment, fortunately, there were many dead leaves and branches in the cave, which must have been swept in by the strong wind. He skillfully lit a fire and called the deer over.
The fawn was quite well-behaved. When it heard the call, it followed it and curled up next to the fire to rest.
Bailian's heart also became extremely peaceful at this moment.
At this moment, the presence of the little deer made him feel the freshness of life, and he couldn't help but have the illusion that he was also living in this world.
This feeling of tranquility is not annoying. Although he is dead, he can still witness the life of the world with his own eyes.
The deer squinted his eyes and gradually fell into a dream...
Bailian is a corpse demon. Before the fixed dormancy period, he will not fall into a deep sleep like ordinary people, even late at night. His mind is also terrifyingly clear.
If you can’t sleep, you have no choice but to practice.
Sitting cross-legged, he formed a Tao Jue with both hands very skillfully, as if he had done this action thousands of times in his memory.
Now, all he has left is the name Bailian, and the training formulas and techniques that are deeply imprinted in his memory like an awl. Even he himself doesn’t know why he lost his memory, but I can remember these very clearly.
Maybe it has something to do with the ancient voice that lingered in his ears during the long period of silence in the purple gold coffin.
The voice clearly told him that those who practice immortality can be divided into three realms: the mundane realm, the realm of transcending tribulation, and the realm of entering the holy realm.
And each large realm is divided into several smaller realms.
The mortal realm contains four small realms: seeking the Tao realm, Kaiyuan realm, expanding the sea realm, and inheriting the spirit realm.
The Crossing Tribulation Realm contains five small realms: Soul Enlightenment Realm, Heshen Realm, Fusion Dao Realm, Thousand Tribulations Realm, and Tongmo Realm.
Entering the Holy Realm contains four small realms: the Realm of Refining the Void, the Realm of Ancient Tribulation, the Realm of Immortality, and the Realm of Saints.
His current body is that of a boy around sixteen, but his strength is only that of a second-level seeker who has just started.
Judging from the burial objects in his coffin, he must have had plenty of resources before him. His family must have come from a family that cultivated immortals. His strength was quite mediocre during his lifetime. .
Li Jiujiu was only twenty years old, and now he had the cultivation level of Kaiyuan First Grade. Compared with this, it made him extremely ashamed.
I don’t know if his mediocre talent will make his cultivation path more difficult after his death.
Thinking of these things for the moment, Balian put aside his complicated thoughts and was about to concentrate on calming down, when a rustling sound that was definitely not caused by the natural environment suddenly came to his ears.
The sound was extremely subtle, but it could not help but give people a chilling feeling. The sound was dense and regular, as if it was caused by the hem of someone's clothes rubbing against the ground when it fell to the ground.
Bailian's eyes that had not been completely closed suddenly opened wide, and he looked warily towards the source of the sound.
Over there is the deeper part of the cave.
The darkness was like a lurking, devouring beast. The rustling sounds became more frequent and closer.
Even the sleeping deer suddenly woke up, lying on the ground and whispering in fear. The animal's innate sense of danger made it uneasy.
Bailian knew that what was approaching them was definitely not some wild beast.
But an existence more dangerous than a wild beast! Tread...tread...tread...
The sound became clearer and clearer, and as time passed, the rustling sound was quietly covered by the sound of footsteps.
It's just that the footsteps are a little too weird for humans. The footsteps are very dull, but they are not the kind of footsteps walking back and forth.
It is the sound of footsteps, and after a certain short period of time, the sound of footsteps with the same intensity will be heard again.
Whether it is the short time gap or the dull intensity, it is absolutely the same.
It's as if a person is walking on two legs at the same time.
Bailian hadn't seen the figure break through the darkness yet, but he vaguely guessed something in his heart.
He probably met someone of the same kind.
The sound of wind and rain outside the cave became louder and louder. The strong wind mixed with the heavy rain was like a shrill howl of ghosts and wolves.
Although the sound of wind and rain was loud, it still could not cover up the strange footsteps coming from the cave.
The bonfire began to beat uneasily, and the footsteps suddenly became rapid, as fast as a veteran playing Allegro.
The sound of Allegro is very pleasant to the ears, but the sound of such fast-paced footsteps makes people's hair stand on end.
The deer at Balian's feet rolled its thick lips and whispered uneasily.
Bailian didn’t have time to appease Xiaolu’s impatient mood.
Because he saw...a turquoise face that broke through the dark shadows deep in the cave like electricity, bringing out a phantom moving straight forward, arriving in an instant!
A pair of pale palms with green veins were pressed together tightly like sharp blades, and the sharp tips of the fingers were hooked, aiming for Balian's throat!
Without a second thought, Balian reached back and pulled out the Qiu Shui Sword given to him by the Jiujiu girl from his waist.
But the green-faced and fanged corpse demon was so fast. In the blink of an eye, he only had time to catch a glimpse of his appearance before he appeared directly in front of him.
The corpse demon's arms stood straight, and its long hooked nails were closer to him.
Bailian's naked eyes didn't even have time to capture the trajectory of the claws. He only heard the sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air, and he knew how sharp these long nails were.
However, the Qiu Shui Sword at his waist could only be pulled out half way, and there was no time to block with the sword.
I could clearly feel an electric chill in my throat.
Bailian suddenly felt desperate, thinking that her throat would have to be poked with ten holes by this cruel thing.
He had no time to draw his sword and knew that he would inevitably die. He couldn't help but worry about the honest little deer he had just met.
“Run!!!”
Balian's eyes widened, and an astonishing roar burst from his lips!
The next moment, the roar stopped and was extinguished in his throat.
The sharp fingers dug into his throat, leaving a deep depression.
The little deer opened his eyes wide with fear, and his strangely sunken throat was clearly reflected in the clear pupils.
The world in front of Baili turned dark, and he couldn't see anything.
The severe pain coming from his throat made it impossible for his body to stay in place, and the huge force made him fly backwards with a bang!
