Chapter 723 Underground Dark City
She ran too fast, the night fog in the dense forest was thick, and she saw a familiar shadow slowly emerging from the fog in front of her eyes. Lin Yuan's heart trembled, but she had no time to stop, and she ran into it. into that man's arms.
The man did not dodge, he gently spread his arms and gently held her embarrassed body.
"Sister Linyuan." The familiar cold embrace is very much like the sea where she lives in her distant hometown.
Lin Yuan's eyes were red, and she hugged the opponent's waist tightly. The tears falling from the corners of her eyes turned into beautiful blue pearls, which fell to the ground crisply.
"Mountain Master, Mountain Master, Mountain Master, Mountain Master, Mountain Master..."
She was so excited that she was incoherent. She seemed to have thousands of words in her heart, but she could only chant them clumsily again and again. his name.
This was the first time that Balian saw her crying so hard. The mermaid tears that the sharks shed when they are sad are all pure souls, which are very harmful to the body and mind, so the sharks rarely cry.
Amidst Lin Yuan’s choked cries, light rain gradually began to fall from the sky.
The world in the mountains becomes more and more misty, and the deep trees soaked in light rain become more mysterious and beautiful.
When a shark meets water, he turns into a fish, and Lin Yuan is no exception. His legs were completely soaked by the rain just after he turned into a fish, and then he turned into a cold and beautiful silver-blue fish tail.
Lin Yuan could not stand upright, and her body immediately went limp, lying on Bai Lian's chest and almost falling to the ground.
Bailian had quick eyes and quick hands. He put his hands through her waist and held the fishtail under her buttocks.
When the shark is not on guard against hostility, the fish scales on his body are not sharp and aggressive. They are cold and slippery to the touch. The fish scales are extremely soft and cool to the touch, just like fine jade.
Fish tail is a taboo for the sharks, and Bailian has not been under Wu Xia Amon for a long time, so he does not dare to touch it randomly.
He squatted down and was about to place Lin Yuan on his lap.
But this time she was not anxious or shy. She raised her eyes with red eyes, as if she had lost her soul, biting her lips until they bled: "Mountain Master... I'm sorry for you, Lu'er was lost by me. ”
Bailian’s mind was buzzing. , without reacting for a long time, he frowned hard and whispered: "Sister Linyuan, what did you say? Xiaolu'er is lost?"
It was obvious that he had predicted something, the traces of the monks who had stopped outside the mountain border, and the situation in the outside world.
The image of the demon trainer using torture, whipping and trampling the little demons was dancing in Balian's mind in confusion. His throat suddenly became blocked, as if a piece of burning charcoal had been stuffed into it, burning all his internal organs. burn!
Little deer, his little deer.
The innocent and kind little deer who was willing to donate blood for him to eat... is missing?
Bailian has never told anyone how important Luer is in his heart.
He never told anyone.
Only he knows.
The deer was the first kind gift he received when he came into this world.
At that time, he was not tolerated by the sky. In the vast vast land, the first deer he picked up was ordinary and weak, but it went through the most difficult time with him.
Bailian knew how difficult the road he chose to go down was, so he released the little deer into this safe mountain forest, letting it run freely and happily in the mountains, chasing tomorrow.
But, his deer... disappeared!
"I'm sorry, Mountain Master, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The woman in her arms kept crying.
Although Bailian didn't say it, Lin Yuan didn't know what the deer that he personally brought into the mountains to protect him meant to him.
Bailian raised his head and let the cold raindrops pour on his face.
For a long time, he lowered his head and gently patted Lin Yuan's trembling back. His eyes shrouded in fog and rain were very light, so gentle that they were unreal: "Sister Lin Yuan, stop crying, this is not your fault. Can you tell me what happened? "
His deer has always been very well-behaved and listened to Lin Yuan's words. If it were it, it would never leave the mountain without authorization.
In this case, there is only one possibility.
Someone outside the mountain knew that there was a spiritual deer in the mountain. It was white as snow and had pure spiritual power. He coveted it and used extraordinary means to lure the deer out of the mountain.
Bailian had no intention of blaming Lin Yuan. He had never left Xiao Luer under the care of anyone, let alone being lost by her.
Looking at the man in his arms almost bursting into tears, his look of self-blame was also moving.
Bailian picked up her cold body, knowing that she had shed too many tears and been away from the shore for too long and her body must be suffering from lack of water, so he did not let go, holding her and walking closer to the lake step by step.
The two of them were immersed in the cold lake, relying on each other.
Lin Yuan knew that he had always been gentle, but she never expected that after this change, he could be so gentle, silently soothing her emotions with every move he made.
Crying like this is really useless. Lin Yuan shook the fish tail, rolled up Bai Lian's waist to prevent him from sinking into the lake, and recounted what happened in the past few months.
Lu'er left the mountain and disappeared, which happened when Lin Yuan returned from Xianling City.
At that time, she mistakenly thought that Fang Geyu had died in the sea world of the Bronze Gate. Unable to suppress her grief, she returned to Kongcang Mountain.
Unexpectedly, just after returning to the mountains, another bolt from the blue occurred.
In the mountains, Jinsheng suffered a severe mental injury for some unknown reason. He was drunk all day long, like a puddle of mud, and ignored his words.
He didn’t know when Xiaoluer was lost.
Lin Yuan was alone and anxious. She didn’t know where to start, so she went down the mountain and inquired at the foot of the mountain.
After this investigation, we found out that the name of the village at the foot of the mountain had been inexplicably affected by the plague a few days ago.
The able-bodied men and women in the village were able to overcome the resistance immediately.
But the plague was so contagious that it afflicted those young children. They had high fevers day and night and were dying.
The name of the mountain villager tried countless decoctions but all were in vain, so he had to go up the mountain to save the gods.
Lu'er is docile by nature and very affectionate towards children. He didn't want to see the suffering of the children in the mountains, so he went to collect the nourishing elixirs in the mountains and secretly went out of the mountains to give them to the villagers door to door.
Who would have thought that this plague was actually a trap set up by mortal monks to capture Luer.
Luer was surrounded by more than a dozen monks before he even left the village after delivering the elixir. They set up a net and formed an array, and detained everyone.
The villagers in the mountain originally worshiped Bailian, the owner of the mountain, and had to ride spiritual beasts to deliver medicine. They were so grateful that they could watch these outsiders wantonly catching deer.
But mortals are of no use after all, and what they get by being angry and resisting is a painful lesson, so they have to keep this matter in their hearts and tell Lin Yuan. "In the past six months, I have been asking around, and I heard that the Tianxi Sword Sect is recruiting disciples recently, and those monks from outside the mountain are going around like crazy to catch monsters and try to enchant the weapons.
I'm afraid Lu'er was in trouble because of this. Unfortunately, I checked for a long time. I haven't been able to get any news about Lu'er. Now half a year has passed. Mountain Master, you said..."
The more Lin Yuan said, the more frightened and uneasy his face became. He couldn't help but grab Bailian's arm, and he was about to cry. : "Do you think Lu'er will already..."
Balian's eyes were lowered and his pupils were dark. He gently interrupted her: "No."
The corners of his lips were raised and he was smiling, but the smile was cold to the bone. , inexplicably making the person's body feel chilly: "Even if I go through these mountains and rivers, I will still find deer."
In the night, between his fair and fair face, the maroon mark of the devil's bone flashed between his eyebrows. Pass away.
Lin Yuan couldn't help but tremble, feeling that there was something different about Balian's return this time.
Bailian felt her flinch, put away her smile, patted her cheek, and said: "Sister Linyuan, there is no need to blame yourself, no one wants to see such a thing happen."< br>
She has lost weight, and there is no flesh on her cheeks. Although her appearance is still beautiful, her appearance is haggard.
Thinking about it for the past six months, this matter has tortured her quite a lot.
No matter how angry Balian is, he can't take it out on her.
“Master, the spirit deer you just mentioned is a deer that is completely snow-white and has horns as blue as the stars and the sea?”
The bats that followed Bailian into the mountains Before the demon took a second look at the scenery in the mountains, he vaguely heard that a deer raised next to Balian had also been caught by those damn humans.
While my heart was warm and angry, I couldn't help but think of a deer I had seen from a distance in the prison car a few months ago.
There are countless demon trainers in the world, and the number of captured demons is naturally not a minority.
The monsters she rode with her changed one after another, many of which she couldn’t remember clearly, but she was particularly impressed by the deer.
For no other reason, she remembered that the deer was alone and imprisoned in a carriage.
And the monsters captured around her were basically monsters that transformed into humans. Only the deer had a complete animal body and had not transformed into a human body.
According to common sense, it can only be regarded as a low-level spirit monster, but for some reason, it can be treated with such caution by that group of humans.
The bat demon guessed that Luer was either born with special blood or had taken some rare treasure that changed the purity of his constitution.
Although it has not transformed, she has never seen a reindeer in the world that can be so beautiful and pure white. Its hair is like snow, and its eyes are clear. It doesn’t look like a monster at all, but more like a faraway beast. A mythical beast kept in captivity by immortals on Lingshan Mountain.
Deer with such outstanding physiques are naturally extremely popular. Of course, they cannot be sold as cattle and sheep in the market.
Bailian looked stunned. He was pleasantly surprised that the bat demon could describe the physical characteristics of Luer. He suddenly turned back and looked at her intently, even ignoring that she had not known when she was with You Ning. Change his master.
"Have you seen the little deer?!"
Seeing his excited reaction, the bat demon knew that the deer demon held a very important position in his heart.
Thinking of this, she strengthened her belief that she had not followed the wrong master.
Monks in the world regard monsters as tools and accessories, but this young man is the only one who sincerely cares about the life and death of his monster pets.
The bat demon did not dare to hide anything and said hurriedly: "Seven months ago, I was caught in the siege by the demon trainers and was transported to the black market of a major city in Zeguo for sale. It was at that time that I saw the snow-white deer that my master called me.
I vaguely heard the demon trainers say that the deer has pure blood and contains spiritual power. It is a rare treasure of monsters in this world. Although its cultivation level is lower, it is also a weapon with a spirit.
The deer was extremely popular at the time and should have been sold seven months ago. But at that moment, I heard that it was favored by several dignitaries in the DPRK and China. At that time, the bidding was hard to distinguish, and the price was raised extremely high.
The demon trainer has always been greedy and only interested in profit. After seeing the value of the fawn, he stopped the auction and spent a lot of money to hire the Dark Crow Chamber of Commerce to escort him and quietly sent the fawn to the underground city of Kyoto, Zeguo. among.
The Kyoto of Zeguo is the place where the important military officials and the backbone of the empire are. The demon trainer released the news about Linglu, which attracted the attention of these important officials and dignitaries of the empire. The sale price can naturally be raised to a sky-high price, allowing them to Take advantage of Tianxi Sword Sect's opportunity to recruit disciples and make a lot of money. "
Bailian frowned deeply and asked, "Underground city? ”
The bat demon is the oldest, strongest, and most knowledgeable among this group of monsters.
She went on to explain: "The underground city is an underground trading city blocked by an invisible and mysterious dark network force in the world. It is similar to the black markets in human beings where three religions and nine streams gather, but the power of this underground city is huge. , the organization behind it is extremely mysterious and powerful.
According to rumors, the Dark City organization has shady secrets in all the countries around the world and even the Beizhao Kingdom and Langya Demon Sect on the other side of the Endless Sea. They trade, so they are famous all over the world for taking both black and white.
No one knows who the boss behind the dark city is, but there, it is said that as long as you have money, you can buy anything you want. What you want.
And it’s not just Ze State that has underground cities, there are also underground cities in Qin, Shu, Zhao and even many other small countries.”
"The Dark City is like countless ant nests, everywhere and interconnected. No one knows yet what methods the master behind it used to make the Dark City organization so large, throughout the world."
Bailian listened carefully, looked up at the bat demon, and said, "Did you just say that as long as you have money, you can buy anything in the underground city? "
The bat demon nodded and said: "Strictly speaking, it is indeed true. Even if you are just an ordinary mortal, if you are carrying a huge amount of treasure and enter the dark city world, even if I want a high-grade spiritual root, and there are even channels to provide it."
Hearing this, Balian was shocked. This dark city force actually reaches this level? !
It can even easily change the differences between immortals and mortals.
What is spiritual root? Spiritual roots are a gift from fate, a blessing from God, a miraculous thing that only humans can give birth to.
It is neither a monster nor a spirit that can give birth to a child. It is a miracle destined to be given by God when one of the most blessed people in the world is born.
Selling spiritual roots means that the spiritual roots are dug out from the bodies of living people.
This underground city really lives up to its name, and what is done inside is truly a dark transaction.
Speaking of this, the bat demon looked at Balian for a while, paused, and said hesitantly: "Although the underground city can provide you with everything you want, as long as you can pay enough...< br>
But Master, what you want is that fawn. It is a fawn that cannot be replaced by ordinary deer. Now, seven months have passed, and no one can guarantee whether the deer is still in the dark city, or whether it has been bought by someone. Let's go..."
She said it very tactfully.
The implication was that Ruona Xiao The deer has been wandering around in the underground city for many times, and the end will not be good.
If a buyer sets the price and takes the little deer away, it is very likely that it will have been refined into a weapon spirit by now.
The life and soul of a possessed demon belong to the master, and cannot be changed in life or death
