Chapter 396 Riding on the ‘pony’ Pearl!
You Su endured the severe pain of his body being torn apart and stared firmly at Bai Ze's eyes that gradually regained clarity.
He knew that this was a desperate gamble, and only by using his body as bait could he save Bai Ze, who was under the control of evil spirits.
"Baize, wake up!"
You Su's voice trembled with pain, but he still tried hard to penetrate the permeating atmosphere of blood and evil.
Bai Ze's consciousness struggled in chaos, and You Su's blood flowed into its mouth, as if a mysterious and fiery power was surging in his body.
In an instant, a strange light flashed in Bai Ze's eyes. What helps it drive away those evil blood lines is not its stubborn will, but the blood of Allah flowing in Yousu's body.
You Su knew very well that most of the plots in the storybooks that could awaken people controlled by evil spirits by talking alone were unrealistic, so in order to save Bai Ze as soon as possible, he needed a more efficient and effective method! It was also the only way he could think of in a short time!
In the past, he had only used his power on people. This was the first time he had used it on a beast. He only hoped that it would really work. Fortunately, he could clearly sense that the soul bond between him and Bai Ze, which was enough to overcome the control of all evil spirits, was growing crazily. He was relieved but also felt a deeper guilt. Because this is the spirit of the snow-capped mountains that was truly nurtured by heaven and earth, but he turned it into evil.
However, at this moment, there was no time to indulge in this weak feeling of relief and guilt - You Su suddenly turned his head, and happened to meet the three eyes of those huge pupils!
The huge evil eye seemed to see through everything, and the surging sense of oppression pressed against him like an overwhelming mountain.
In the dark and crimson world, countless blood vessels hanging from the eyeballs were baring their teeth and claws, like ferocious snakes.
Bai Ze woke up leisurely at this moment, and the blood-red remaining in his eyes completely faded away, regaining his former agility and clarity. It shouted in confusion:
"Ding Zhen..."
When You Su heard this call, his heart warmed, but there was no time to reminisce about the past at this moment. He was so anxious that he looked up at the huge eyes that were as high as the blood moon. Those bloodshot eyes were already coming towards his face!
He shouted: "Run!"
Then he grabbed Bai Ze's neck and tried to take him away from this dangerous place.
However, Bai Ze was still in the ups and downs of emotions and could not calm down, so You Su couldn't pull the huge Bai Ze at all.
At this moment, the giant eye's attacks followed in the blink of an eye! Several blood lines were like dense sharp arrows, cutting through the dark space and shooting with a chilling whistling sound.
You Su reacted very quickly, dodging like a ghost. At the same time, he drew out the Mo Song Sword. The sword instantly erupted with fierce sword energy, trying to resist these shadowy attacks.
But the area covered by these blood lines even exceeded the reach of his sword energy. Seeing that these blood lines that bypassed him were about to rush in front of Bai Ze, who had not yet figured out the situation, he had no choice but to fly forward and use his body to block them.
"Puff puff puff."
Just like the sound of sharp arrows piercing flesh and blood, You Su's body was pierced by the blood lines in many places, the skin was torn and the blood flowed out gurglingly, and the splattered blood fell on Bai Ze's face.
Bai Ze's pupils shrank, and it wasn't until he saw You Su's miserable state in front of him that he finally came back to his senses.
"You...why are you here..."
Yousu was hung in the air by the blood thread controlled by the giant eye. He groaned in pain, but still gritted his teeth and answered with his strong will:
"Stupid cat, I'm looking for my pearl..."
Bai Ze's eyes glowed, and the huge tiger head trembled slightly.
It actually doesn't know what a pearl is, it just thinks the name sounds nice. In the past, You Su joked with it, saying that Zhen Zhen means 'really a pig', so that it would not remember Ding Zhen and Zhen Zhen, the two names he made up casually.
It was quietly sad about this for a long time, but later on, it didn't give up and quietly asked the flower Taoist priest to find out that pearls are a very precious thing, which means a treasure worth cherishing. Therefore, the nice name You Su gave it added a more special meaning, and it made up its mind that its name would be Pearl from now on. For this reason, Hua Taoist, who was still complaining about the old-fashioned name, scratched his neck angrily.
That's why it was so sad after You Su made it clear that he didn't like the name Ding Zhen.
But now he understands that he just doesn't like calling him Ding Zhen, but he really treats himself as a pearl. This is not just a name, but a treasure worth cherishing.
"Run..."
Yousu murmured softly as blood gushed out from his mouth, and more and more blood lines penetrated his body.
Bai Ze clearly recalled the feeling of almost biting You Su into pieces. At this time, he couldn't care less about You Su wrongly blaming him.
It didn't listen to You Su's order, but roared angrily at the giant eye hanging on the horizon, its voice sounding like it could break through clouds and crack rocks. Then he suddenly ran behind You Su, biting off all the blood lines, and then carefully held You Su in his mouth, for fear of hurting him.
At this time, Yu Su was indeed extremely weak. The continuous use of Shadow Stream Techniques had left him in a state of indebtedness. At this time, he was seriously injured again. He had countless holes in his body, causing his eyelids to droop slightly.
The dancing blood line was chasing behind him, while Bai Ze rushed left and right in the darkness with You Su in his mouth. The surrounding space seemed to be distorted by the power of the giant eye. Sometimes huge rocks fell from the cave roof, and sometimes the ground suddenly cracked, and bright red blood vessels as thick as towering trees drilled out from inside.
The situation was extremely dangerous. Just when Bai Ze was about to step into the air, a piece of exquisitely clear ice appeared out of thin air under Bai Ze's front hooves, forcing him to stabilize his body and cross the cliff-like crack.
You Su was surprised to find that Bai Ze was exuding a layer of pure white fluorescence - it had actually recovered Xuan Qi! He is no longer the white tiger who can only rely on his physical body to gain strength!
But the pursuit of the giant eye has not been shaken off, as if it is endless and will chase them to the end of the world.
Bai Ze became more and more impatient. Even though it was agile and extremely fast, it had been running in this strange space for a long time, but it still couldn't get rid of the pursuit of the giant eye's blood line, and it gradually became exhausted. It was breathing heavily, the fluorescence on its body dimmed a little, and its evasive movements became more thrilling.
You Su lay in Bai Ze's mouth, equally worried. If this continued, they would not be able to escape the clutches of this giant eye.
With Bai Ze's speed, he would have traveled a long way after running for so long. According to common sense, no matter how powerful the evil spirit is, its power should have an end. But how could the blood line of this giant eye span such a long distance and follow it closely like a shadow?
Could it be that this is an illusory space? !
But You Su felt something was wrong. He could feel that all of this was real, and that giant eye had no ability to enchant at all. It was clearly an evil spirit of flesh and blood.
What's going on...
Just when he was anxious, he was surprised to find an ice brick extending from the edge of the cliff in the center of the rift valley ahead!
This was obviously the first piece of ice that made him discover that Bai Ze had restored Xuan Qi!
He resisted the severe pain and rolled over in Bai Ze's mouth. He quickly looked back and quickly confirmed his suspicion.
Although they seemed to be far away from the giant eye as they ran desperately, the size of the giant eye in their field of vision did not change at all.
They have been circling this giant eye! "Bai Ze! We've been going in circles! Run straight!" You Su endured the pain and shouted loudly.
Bai Ze heard You Su's reminder, while dodging the blood line, he gasped and responded:
"I-I'm just running straight!!"
Because Yusu was holding Yusu in his mouth, his words were hesitant and like a big tongue, and his tone was even more complaining, as if Yusu wanted to blame it wrongly again.
You Su was surprised when he heard this. He also knew that Bai Ze was the spirit of the snow-capped mountains, and he was like a fish in water in the snow. But there is only pure white in the snow, so the sense of direction should be one of Bai Ze's innate talents, so it is impossible for it to say that it is walking in a straight line when it takes a curve...
Fantasy? Prohibition? What is it that keeps driving us in circles? !
You Suqiang cheered up, and while pulling out the remaining broken blood lines on his body, he commanded:
"I know you're running forward! But we keep turning left! Now you run to the right you think you have!"
Bai Ze had no doubts about You Su's instructions. He quickly turned around and sprinted towards what he thought was the right side.
However, because they kept turning to the left, those bloodshot eyes that seemed to be chasing after them were actually not directly behind them, but to their right rear!
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
If Bai Ze wants to run to the right, he must pass through these blood-threaded webs that follow him everywhere!
Bai Ze mustered up his courage and faced the difficulties facing the dense bloodshot eyes. It used all its strength to dodge most of the bloodshot attacks with its restored strength.
However, the battlefield situation was changing rapidly. After all, it had just recovered some profound energy. Even though Bai Ze tried his best, his ankle was accidentally caught by a cunning blood thread.
With a "plop" sound, Bai Ze's huge body fell to the ground, and You Su was spat out in time to avoid being crushed by its sharp teeth. But it also caused You Su to hit the ground heavily, stirring up a cloud of dust that rolled around several times before stopping.
Bai Ze was filled with guilt and his eyes were red. It vented its anger and tore up the bloody thread that had just trapped him. Then it opened its mouth and roared. Ice-blue cold air poured out from its mouth, and a fragile ice was actually condensed. The barrier temporarily blocked the surging bloodshot tide.
When You Su hit the ground, he forcibly twisted his body to avoid his head, and finally landed on his knees. But the impact was too great, causing his lower legs to become numb and unable to obey his orders, making him unable to stand up.
Seeing You Su hammering his legs anxiously and without fear of pain, Bai Ze could no longer hold back his tears, and rolled to the ground along with the blood left on his face by You Su, and his voice trembled. Whispered:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...it's all my fault...I'm useless Bai Ze!"
"I don't deserve to be called a mythical beast at all... everything those people say is false! I don't understand the emotions of all things, and I don't know anything about ghosts and gods! I can't do anything but talk!"
You Su stopped beating his legs and turned his head. His face was as pale as paper. Although he was completely unrecognizable and there was a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were firm.
He dragged his broken legs and crawled to Bai Ze's hanging head, reached out and gently stroked its head, his voice was gentler than ever before:
"No, what they said is true, do you know why?"
Bai Ze slowly raised his eyes and said in a trembling voice:
"Why, why...?"
You Su paused, took a deep breath, and said in a firm and powerful voice:
"Because I know who the saint is. If there is a saint in this world, it can only be me!"
"The ancient book says, 'The saint is virtuous, and the bright light shines far away, and the white Ze will come'! And I only met you, a white Ze! So our meeting is not accidental, but destined! I am extremely lucky to be born with the saint. You! Now... I want you to help me! Let’s kill this evil spirit together!”
Bai Ze stared blankly at You Su's dark eyes. You Su's words seemed to inject an inexplicable power into his body, instantly dispelling the haze in Bai Ze's heart.
It felt an unprecedented trust and encouragement, as if all the fatigue and fear in its body had been swept away by this force. It revives its spirit and rekindles the blazing fire of fighting spirit in its eyes!
"Hmm!!"
The child's voice is childish, but also extremely firm.
It picked up Yousu in its mouth, and then turned its head as hard as possible so that Yousu could climb onto its back along its head.
You Su grabbed the soft, satin-like hair on Bai Ze's back, pulled hard, and flew onto Bai Ze's back just right.
Although he spent many times with his mouth, You Su never really rode Bai Ze once, because he knew very well that this stupid cat also had its own persistence. But now, it took the initiative to put You Su on its own back!
From the moment he first met Bai Ze, You Su was deeply shocked by the majestic beauty of this half-deer, half-tiger beast. Even though its fur was gray and its eyes were dull at that time, Yu Su was still amazed by it - because even when it was thin and haggard, it still possessed breathtaking elegance.
This is due to its extremely smooth back line. This undulating back is like the softest clouds in the sky or the most winding stream in the mountains. Every arc reveals the most exquisite handwriting of nature.
In Bei Aozhou, Bai Ze's image is profound and sacred. In this land that longs to be redeemed because of its barrenness, in the stories related to the saint and Bai Ze, Bai Ze always exists as the saint's mentor and helpful friend.
But in the reality outside the story, You Su became the first person to use Bai Ze as a mount!
You Su pulled out the last three broken blood lines on his flank, and became more sure of his thoughts.
Without exception, they penetrated his body from the front and became dead objects after breaking. But after weakening at this time, the head with the suction cup actually seemed to be alive, all facing to the left!
This is obviously unreasonable! The only explanation is that something is pulling them to the left!
There were already cracks in the ice barrier, and Bai Ze tapped his hooves anxiously, urging Yu Su on his back to guide him in the direction.
You Su tugged on the velvet on Bai Ze's left shoulder and said in a deep voice:
"This space is twisting to the left! This is all because of the giant eye! So we run further to the left! We have to go back with his power, and then——"
The ice barrier shattered, and the tide of blood lines behind him struck again.
"Kill him by his power!"
Bai Ze's front hooves suddenly exerted force, and the muscles in the strong legs were tense. Then the front body leaped high, its posture was elegant and full of power, it raised its head and roared, and the roar became clearer and more exciting, echoing endlessly.
Immediately, its hind legs kicked hard, and a silver track whizzed past!
One man and one beast charged towards the giant eye like an arrow from a string!
