Chapter 1127 Claw Marks
Ji Yu's eyes struggled for a long time. He seemed to have made a major decision and took a deep breath.
Ignoring Shu Ci's cold and threatening gaze, he suddenly shouted urgently:
"Stop! The road Shu Ci pointed to was not the road out of the valley at all. She was going to Let’s lead deeper into the valley!”
The sudden shouting made Bailian frown hard, but for some unknown reason, he did not choose to stop.
He rushed towards the next location reported by Shu Ci without hesitation.
Shu Ci also did not expect that at such a critical moment, he would choose to believe himself without hesitation in response to Ji Yu's reminder.
It is a matter of life and death, without even a moment of hesitation or doubt.
Bailian's unshakable consciousness even made Ji Yu feel that the next moment, he would throw her away as an enemy who sows discord.
He chooses to believe in one person, which means denying the other person.
At this critical moment of life and death, even if it were him, he probably wouldn't allow any mistakes to happen.
But who would have thought that Balian continued to move forward as usual as if he had not heard his call from beginning to end.
Although Ji Yu was grateful to him for not abandoning him, she was extremely anxious as she saw him going deeper and deeper.
As we walked deeper and deeper into the secret realm of the mountain forest, the crimson mist became more and more intense.
But the sounds all around were dead silent, and the mud-like ground under our feet became as hard as growing rocks, and there was no signs of collapse and disintegration around them like swallowing people.
Even the lingering corpse odor is gradually fading away with the wind.
Other than the thick scarlet mist, this place looks no different from the outside world.
It is as if beneath this normal and calm exterior, there is an obscure original secret hidden.
Those mountains went berserk, and the corpses in the trees and grass forests rose up, chasing and spreading from behind Bailian like a source of pollution.
But the deeper you go, the speed that is as unstoppable as a torrent obviously slows down.
This corpse-like pollution devouring did not spread outward from the center of the valley, but instead gathered towards the center of the valley like a huge cocoon.
As Shu Ci finally reported the last direction, Balian stepped forward.
The scarlet mist in front of him suddenly opened up, as if he was separated from himself, revealing the scene in front of him.
The crimson firelight illuminates the long night.
What came into view was a silently burning crimson cherry tree.
Different from the white bone tree with its towering huge branches like a forest, this crimson cherry tree is only the size of an ordinary century-old tree.
Whether it is branches, trunks or flowers and leaves, they are as transparent as crimson glass, showing crystal patterns like flames flowing inside.
Even different from the ghostly shadows in other places in the valley, there is a cold and damp breath of death in all directions.
The air here is extremely dry, and the flowers and trees are like the scorching sun.
There are countless pale and cold-looking wandering souls floating near the cherry trees, eager to get closer.
And around the cherry tree, a light barrier formed like an upside-down bowl.
And those pale and cold souls are blocked outside the barrier, and no matter how close they are, they cannot enter.
Bailian saw the extraordinary features of the cherry trees in the barrier, even though they had not yet entered the barrier.
The alienation of the surrounding scenery has become very slow, far less dangerous than the crisis along the way.
Bailian came to the interface and stopped. He put Shu Ci and Ji Yu down.
The moment the body stopped, a wave of fatigue came through the overloaded body.
There was a strong sense of soreness in the bones all over the body, and the muscles were so swollen and painful.
He put his left hand on his heart and took a few long breaths before the shaking corpse beads gradually calmed down.
Bailian looked at the barrier in front of him, his lips were dry from dehydration, and his face had no color.
The two scarlet-blooming Manjushua flowers in his pupils have also become much fainter, and the original outline of the flower shadow can hardly be seen.
He calmed down a little before his mind became less cold and numb.
Ji Yu stood beside him, biting her red lips, her eyes full of stubbornness and complexity, and said nothing.
Bailian gradually felt uneasy. He looked at Shuci and asked, "What place is this?"
Shuci looked at the cherry tree barrier, My mind wanders and I don't know what I'm thinking about.
Bailian didn’t even answer the question.
Seeing her look like this, Balian couldn't help but frown deeper.
Just when he was about to continue asking questions, Shu Ci opened his mouth first and said: "This is the 'heart' of Yinxu Valley."
"Heart?"
Shu Ci's eyelashes drooped slightly, and the dark circles under his eyes that were originally bluish became thicker under the light and shadow.
“Everything in the world has its weaknesses. The weakness of Guixian Suiyou is the ‘Shenque’, and the weakness of the Yinxu Valley is the ‘heart’.”
Bailian knew that Shu Ci had always been knowledgeable about ancient times and the present, so it was not surprising that he knew about the unknown secrets of this valley.
But if she knew how to conquer it, why didn't she say it outright early on, instead of deliberately concealing it, and by leading him out of the valley, she led him here instead?
Ji Yu seemed to have something to say, Shu Ci looked over with a faint look, and then said: "The matter has reached this point, there is no way out."
This seemed to be an answer to Baili. An, but Ji Yu knew that this was meant for him.
Ji Yu opened her mouth silently, as if she had something on her mind that she couldn't express, and there was anxiety between her brows.
But under Shu Ci's indifferent gaze, he still closed his mouth and chose to remain silent.
Seeing this, Bai Lian felt that something was strange and wrong. He frowned and said, "You mean, cutting down this tree can solve the problem?"
Shu Ci withdrew his eyes from Ji Yu and chuckled, "Not bad."
Bailian stared silently.
Shu Ci laughed again: "Why, you don't believe me? Now that things have happened, do you think I will still harm you?"
Balian shook his head and saw in his eyes that the rotten and filthy stench from all directions, as if crawling out of the ground, had begun to envelope him.
The earth-gray earth protected under the cherry tree also began to spread corpse transformation under the aura, evolving into a muddy brown-red color, and the whole ground was stirring and crawling in a daze. .
The forest valley surging in the darkness is even more majestic.
Bailian frowned, took the hands of Shu Ci and Ji Yu, and walked towards the barrier.
“No matter what, let’s go in first and then talk about it.”
Ji Yu said nothing. Shu Ci Zhuangruo followed Bailian obediently, walking closely with small steps.
It’s just that there is a barrier blocking the burning crimson cherry tree, and the three of them are like wandering ghosts, blocked outside the barrier.
Bailian's eyes kept wandering, focusing on finding a way to enter the barrier. He did not notice Shu Ci behind him.
She looked at his back through the dark night, suddenly stretched out her hand, gently put her hand on Balian's shoulder and patted him.
Balian was not on guard against her, but because of the corpse demon's natural sensitivity, he could feel Shu Ci's movements behind him.
His heart moved, and he was about to turn around with some doubts on his face.
But Shu Ci just patted his shoulder gently and said some idle chatter that had nothing to do with breaking the formation:
"You little thing's shoulders are high. You can see the distant scenery from above.
I just wonder...when you carry me on your back, do you think I’m heavy?”
Bailian was startled, wondering why she suddenly asked this. He thought she still cared about what Guixian Sui said, so he couldn't help but smile and joked:
"If I say it seriously, Are you going to stop asking me to carry you?”
I thought that after hearing this, Shu Ci would be as stubborn as before, pestering and cheating regardless of the situation.
But who would have thought that after a moment of silence behind her, she said quietly: "Well, let's not carry it anymore, right?"
The palm on Balian's shoulder suddenly exerted force. The demon and spirit standing under her breathed out into a golden halo, and an unparalleled power came from under her palm.
A terrifying roaring sound erupted from Balian's body, and his shoulder suddenly exploded, leaving five deep scars like animal claws.
Blood gushed out like a fountain, but even his blood energy could not achieve even half of the healing effect.
He was lifted up by a huge force, and blood mixed with the majestic demon power emanating from Shu Ci's body splashed on the circle of light.
Just like the heavy rain soaking through the paper window, a gap opened up.
Bailian fell into the gap, and his body hit hard under the burning crimson cherry tree. The blood sprayed from his body spread into a large area of melancholy colors in the clear stream under the tree. .
He looked in disbelief at the demon-like woman standing on the other side of the thick fire.
Ji Yu’s expression was extremely complicated.
Shu Ci had a sarcastic chuckle at the corner of his mouth and said, "Why, do you still want us to invite you in?"
Ji Yu seemed to be in an extremely bad mood and did not speak, remaining silent. Approached the boundary.
There was only Shu Ci standing alone in the outside world, with no intention of coming in.
The thin light in the barrier was like a curtain of rain, quickly washing away the blood left by Balian, and the gap that was melted was slowly closing.
Bailian struggled to get up, but after being hit hard by Shu Ci, he found that it was difficult to mobilize even half of his spiritual power.
Ji Yu put a hand on his uninjured shoulder and remained silent, preventing him from getting up.
Seeing that the barrier was about to heal, Balian gritted his teeth and said:
“I don’t care if you are using me to open this barrier, I will definitely teach you a lesson from now on. , but now the barrier is about to close, you come in first.”
Through the shallow light mist of the crimson fire, Shu Ci's enchanting face seemed like a dream. She smiled softly, and her eyes returned to the indifference and aloofness of the Mo River period.
"Come in? Come in and be buried with you?"
She didn't move, as if she didn't care at all about the crisis that was starting to turn into corpses and engulf her from all directions.
Bailian said she looked calm and composed, and her eyes gradually became calmer.
He looked at Shu Ci steadily and said, "So, you led me here on purpose?"
The frivolous smile of the past disappeared from Shu Ci's charming face.
Those vertical pupils, which are so deep that they can see into the heart of a person's heart, can't help but chill people.
She raised the corners of her lips, and her words were as light as cold water: "You seem to have forgotten that we have always been an existence that allows people to escape death."
Shu Ci's cold eyes looked at Balian, with a touch of compassion and sympathy, shook his head and continued:
"It's ridiculous that you think that I have been beaten back to my original shape by the demon king, and that I am just a plaything for you to amuse your boredom. Little pet?
You keep calling me a little monster, but Mohe Shuci, who has experienced millions of years, is willing to be a little monster because of his own weakness? "
Bailian expressionlessly wiped the blood stained in his palms on his robe, and looked at her with a faint look in his eyes:
"So if you approach me, that's why To wait for an opportunity and look for an opportunity to restore your cultivation? "
Facing his cold gaze, Shu Ci was unmoved and smiled faintly.
" Hiding skill in clumsiness, using obscurity to make things clear, this is also one of the layouts we are best at. one. ”
Bailian lowered his eyes and said: "The eagle stands as if sleeping, and the tiger moves as if it is sick. It turns out that this is the real brilliance of Mohe Shuci's method of absorbing and devouring people.
It's me who underestimated you. , but I don’t understand, what is there in this valley that is worth taking such a big risk?”
Shu Ci’s eyes were cold for no reason: “Since then. But there is something here that can help me return to the top and fight back to the devil world.
Otherwise, do you think that I am here to have a romantic relationship with you and have a family dinner with you?
>
It is all thanks to you that we have ended up like this. Today, I am just asking for a little more interest from you.”
"Ask me?"
Shu Ci sneered: "As one of the six rivers in the demon world, we are controlled by the demon king.
If she hadn't secretly ordered me to stay in the demon palace, How could we get hurt if I let you offend me during the duel at the banquet?
You know full well that the Demon King is violent and arrogant. You are domineering, but no one else is allowed to get a hold of anything she likes!
But you want to be in the palace of Hades, under her nose, with the demon river! Yan acted recklessly in the medicinal bath, forcing the devil's heart-burning fruit to explode, and he was driven crazy by the inner demon
In order not to be repelled by her own anger, she came to the Qingshan Mountain where we live. We hurt ourselves and were almost dismembered by this crazy devil.
If I hadn’t tried so hard, I would have escaped from death and escaped to the world in my original form, and I don’t know how tragic my end would have been. "
"Bailian, do you feel wronged now that you have been deceived by me?
But how do you know that karma in the world is the retribution you should bear. ”
Bailian was stunned.
He did not expect that Yin Feiyan's mischief in that glass bucket would actually bring such a disaster to Shu Ci.
So she was prepared from the very beginning?
“But I didn’t lie to you at all.”
“This crimson cherry tree is indeed the heart of Yinxu Valley, an important core thing. In a short period of time, it seems that you will not Being devoured by this valley, it turned into a corpse.
But this cherry tree is particularly sensitive to the breath of souls. It has extremely powerful soul-absorbing power, but with the barrier set by the ghost fairy Suiyou, this tree can't survive. Can't swallow souls
You are already in the barrier now, until this tree swallows your two souls.
The entire corpse-turned-valley can fall into silence for a short period of time. In this way, we will have time to get what we want. ”
