Continuous drizzle, thin clouds.

Fortunately, the clouds were too thin, allowing the faint moonlight to penetrate the clouds.

Strangely 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 adaptable to darkness. With the weak moonlight, Balian took a clear look at this area in the shortest possible 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 fawn 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 him and curled up next to the fire to rest.

Balian'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 little deer squinted his eyes and gradually fell into a dream...

And Balian 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 terrifyingly awake.

If you can't sleep, then 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 he can remember these very clearly. .

Maybe it had 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 the immortal way 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 Tribulation Overcoming Realm contains five small realms: Soul Awakening Realm, Heshen Realm, Fusion Dao Realm, Thousand Tribulation 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.

But judging from the burial objects in his coffin, he must have had sufficient resources before him. His family must have been from a family that cultivated immortals. His strength could be said to be 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.

With his already mediocre talent, I wonder if his cultivation path will become more difficult after his death.

Thinking about 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.

Balian'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 man-eating beast, and 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.

Balian knew that the one approaching them was definitely not some wild beast.

It's something more dangerous than a wild beast!

Tread...tap...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.

There was a sound of footsteps, and after a certain short period of time, footsteps of the same intensity would sound again.

Whether it was the short time difference or the dull intensity, they were all exactly the same.

It's like a person walking on two legs at the same time.

Bailian hadn't seen the man's figure break through the darkness, 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, like a shrill howl of ghosts and wolves.

Although the wind and rain were loud, they still couldn't cover up the strange footsteps coming out of 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.

But 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 tips of the fingers were sharply hooked, aiming for Balian's throat!

Without thinking, Bailian reached back and pulled out the Qiu Shui Sword given to him by Jiujiu Girl from his waist.

But the green-faced and fanged corpse demon was so fast that 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 were straight, and his nails as sharp as long hooks were closer to him.

Before Balian's naked eyes even had time to capture the trajectory of the claws, he could only hear 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.

Balian suddenly felt desperate, thinking that his throat would have to be poked with ten holes by this cruel thing.

He didn't have time to draw his sword, and knowing that he was going to 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.

With ten sharp fingers, he dug a deep depression into his throat.

The deer's eyes widened in fear, and his strangely sunken throat was clearly reflected in the clear pupils.

The world in front of Baili went 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!
