Gu Qingxi listened carefully to the footsteps that were getting closer and closer. She was sure that the footsteps were only from a monster.
Tantai Yang was behind the door, looking out through the gap, but couldn't see anything clearly. He held Feng Xiatian's sword in his hand, ready to help if there was an accident.
Liao Kong and Feng Xiatian had calm expressions on their faces. They never thought that Qing Xi would miss.
They had almost unreserved trust in Qingxi.
Tantai Yang waited nervously for this, but he only heard the sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh, very quickly and briefly.
The next moment, Gu Qingxi was already dragging something, quickly turned back, opened the door, dragged the thing back, and then closed the door.
Feng Xiatian and Kong immediately came up.
"So ugly."
"What's this?"
They both spoke at the same time.
Needless to say, the one who said it was ugly must be the little monk Ling Kong.
"Actually, I had suspected it was a World of Warcraft before, but I thought it was a little different." Tantai Yang said beside him.
Gu Qingxi looked at the dark monster on the ground, and at this moment she agreed with Kong's words.
Ugly, really ugly.
The whole body is black, so black that it shines.
The head is as big as a watermelon and is bald. The two pointed ears are very abrupt. There are no eyebrows and only two big eyes with no eyelashes. If the nose is collapsed and the nostrils are pointed upward, water will inevitably enter when it rains. The mouth is thin and long, almost reaching the ears on both sides.
The hands and feet are almost as long, and both have sharp nails. The belly is round and protruding, and the navel is everted.
"I don't even have the desire to dissect, let alone eat." Gu Qingxi looked disgusted.
Liao Kong and Feng Xiantian looked at each other, and both saw words in the other's eyes that they dared not say. See, they knew it was like this. Qing Xi still didn’t admit that she wanted to try to see if she could eat everything she saw. But they wouldn’t dare to eat such dark and ugly things.
"You said you suspected it was a monster?" Gu Qingxi looked up at Tantai Yang.
"It's like some kind of low-level monsters, but they don't have demonic energy, and those low-level monsters don't have such pointed ears, and their belly buttons don't turn out," Tantai Yang said.
"What do monsters look like? What do demons look like?" Although Gu Qingxi had heard many rumors about the demon world, she had never seen one in person.
Because the road from the demon world to the human world was sealed a long time ago.
There was actually a big war between humans and demons before.
The demons invaded the human world, and humans were retreating steadily. Many humans became food for the demons.
The world is devastated, blood flows into rivers, and everything is devastated.
At that time, it was no exaggeration to say that the world was hell.
All humans unite to fight, mortals and monks alike.
Later, mankind paid a huge price. There were countless mortal casualties. The number of monks was reduced by almost two-thirds. Many powerful people also died in that battle.
Humanity finally defeated the demons and sealed the road from the demon world to the human world, thus saving the human world.
During these long years, human beings were able to breathe and slowly recover.
This period of history has been going on for too long, perhaps tens of thousands of years.
Therefore, to people today, the demons seem to exist in legends.
However, demons are real.
"Low-level demons are like a combination of animal and human forms. High-level demons are astonishingly large, but they can transform into human forms. The stronger they are, the more beautiful their transformed appearance is. The monsters are much uglier. It looks weird." Tantai Yang explained to Gu Qingxi.
"This thing on the ground is so ugly, so you reasonably suspect that it is a low-level monster?" Gu Qingxi asked.
"I'm not only suspicious because of its ugliness, but also because I've seen an illustration of a World of Warcraft in a volume before. This black monster looks very much like one of the lowest-level Warcraft in the Demon World, called the Black Blood Beast. But I just said Having said that, it’s not very similar. The black bruise beast doesn’t have such pointed ears, and its belly button doesn’t turn out.” Tantai Yang explained.
"Then maybe they have mutated because of living in this place?" Gu Qingxi seemed to be saying to Tantai Yang, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
Gu Qingxi was thinking, if this is really a magical beast, then it wouldn't be surprising if the humans were losing ground against the demons.
Just the lowest-level monsters make mortals unable to resist them and become the food of monsters.
When mid-to-high-level monsters fight against monks, the monks will also have a hard time.
Liao Kong took a branch and poked the navel of the monster's corpse on the ground.
He felt that Gu Qingxi's guess made sense.
Feng Xiatian saw Kong poking his belly button and poked it with a branch.
Both of them wanted to poke their outturned navel back.
Tantai Yang looked at the childish behavior of the two people and was a little speechless.
"I think this may be the low-level magical beast Black Blood Beast you mentioned. It's just that in this space, we can't use spiritual power, and the demonic energy on them has temporarily disappeared. The appearance has also changed?" Gu Qing Xi asked.
Tantai Yang frowned: "It's also possible. If it's true as you said, then, is this place the junction of the demon world and the human world?"
"Or it can be said to be a gap created at the junction of two worlds." Gu Qingxi boldly guessed.
"Then how do we leave this place?" Feng Xiatian dropped the branch in his hand and asked.
"We can try to find the edge of this gap, break through it, and get out of here." Gu Qingxi replied.
Tantai Yang's expression suddenly became a little solemn: "But there is also a problem. If our guess is right, this place is where the two worlds meet. Breaking the boundary, should we return to the human world or... go To the demon world?"
Gu Qingxi frowned: "This is indeed a problem."
"Another question is, how to find the edge and how to break it?" Tantai Yang has actually thought about these issues before, but it has never been as clear as it is today.
"That's a good question." Gu Qingxi looked solemn, then looked at Tantai Yang with appreciation and nodded.
Feng Xiatian and Kong, together with Tantai Yang, looked at Gu Qingxi, waiting expectantly for Gu Qingxi's next answer.
Then Gu Qingxi looked calm and said confidently: "That's a good question, I don't know either."
Feng Xiatian: "..."
Liao Kong: "..."
Tantai Yang also fell silent. He really doesn't understand why he can be so confident and confident if he doesn't know? Gu Qingxi is really a magical little girl.
