Xu Huaigu looked at Li Zi lying in his arms. Her face was frightened, her brows were furrowed, her facial muscles were twitching, her face was pale, and she looked like she was going through a terrible accident.
He didn't dare to look back. This Lingjiang was really evil and he didn't want anything to happen again. Li Zi's condition is the most worrying right now. His whole body is cold and his clothes are soaked. He really has no strength to walk anymore and can only wait here.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, not long after, he finally saw a few black spots gradually appearing, and his father's call could still be heard in his ears. He shouted desperately, and the group of people seemed to have heard something and ran towards him.
Xu Huaigu breathed a sigh of relief and would be rescued soon. He just hoped that nothing would happen to Li Zi.
For a moment, that thought flashed through his mind again...
Do you want to look back? He was about to be rescued anyway.
His strong curiosity grew uncontrollably. He couldn't bear it anymore and quickly looked back.
At this glance, time seemed to last forever.
All the surrounding scenery disappeared in an instant. Li Zi in her arms, the Lingjiang River that has been flowing for countless years, the small village that has existed for unknown ages behind her, the grass, the pebbles, the white clouds, and then the blue sky...
Everything in front of him seemed to turn into rolls of drawing paper, and then was ruthlessly torn apart by the sword. The crack was later filled with more exotic colors, shimmering with strange light.
The sun was also torn apart mercilessly, and suddenly everything was dark. Then there were beams of light that passed through the clouds and mist and scattered around the world. On the beam of light are stars, some big and some small, but without exception they are very close to the ground, as if you can reach out and touch them.
In the blink of an eye, the light shines brightly, and the whole world is illuminated with dazzling white light everywhere. Xu Huaigu tried his best to cover his eyes with his hands, but the light seemed to penetrate directly through his palms and into his heart, melting everything.
He could no longer feel his own existence, as if he had become nothingness, and there was no fear in his heart, only numbness.
After an unknown amount of time, the suffocating light finally softened, and he could see a little more clearly about his surroundings.
There are countless huge islands suspended in the sky, and the light emanates from them. Those islands are like stars falling from the world, holy and beautiful.
Flowers and grass are in full bloom all around, mountains are rolling and lush, rivers are flowing, birds and beasts are singing, and the world is harmonious and stable.
He could smell the fragrance in the air, which seemed a little sweet and intoxicating.
The good times didn't last long, just for a moment, everything began to collapse again. The stars exploded without warning, rocks scattered, and firelight illuminated the entire sky, turning everything into the scarlet color of blood.
He looked at the flowers, plants, birds and animals on the ground in horror. Everything was quickly withering, and its vitality was quickly passing away. The monstrous flames of red and green struck crazily, becoming more and more powerful, leaving not even ashes behind wherever they passed.
The fire immediately burned to the soles of his feet, and he was so frightened that he quickly ran away, but he had nowhere to hide and could only let the flames burn. But the strange thing is that there is no burning pain as expected, but nothing at all.
Immediately afterwards, the ground shook, and the surrounding land cracked and then protruded. Something was gestating under the ground and was about to break out.
He was so frightened that he took several steps back, and then fell directly to the ground, gasping for air, and looked at the collapsed ground in front of him in shock.
An extremely huge and ferocious head emerged from the ground first. The head was covered with terrifying spikes and scales, showing a bright dark red color. His eyes were wide open, full of blood thirst for killing, and sharp fangs could be clearly seen between the gaps in his mouth, carrying a heart-breaking fear.
It didn't see Xu Huaigu, or in other words, it didn't care at all, and just burrowed outside as hard as it could.
It roared so furiously that Xu Huaigu was so frightened that he used all his strength to break through the last layer of restraints and flew towards the flaming sky.
The huge body was gradually revealed one by one, red and black scales flashed quickly, and there was red liquid flowing between the scales, exuding blazing heat, which was lava.
Xu Huaigu couldn't imagine how terrifying this monster was, but the dust and heat waves splashed out pushed him far away.
The monster finally came out intact. It flew freely under the sky of billowing red clouds, and its length was even greater than that of the Lingjiang River that Xu Huaigu had seen. At this time, suspended in the sky, there was a black and red mountain range flowing with naked magma. Just its momentum was about to destroy the world.
As if to vent its endless anger, it first bowed its head, then suddenly raised its head, roaring to the sky angrily. The sound waves almost condensed into fierce currents, washing away everything in the world. As soon as it roared, the sky and the earth lost all color.
As if in response, various voices immediately echoed. There was a sharp bird song coming from the netherworld, penetrating into his heart, and making his head hurt terribly. Then a group of unknown beasts roared with overwhelming force.
The monster in the sky squinted his eyes and looked down at the world with contempt. His aura of king made people want to surrender.
Xu Huaigu knelt down unconsciously and looked at the strange beast in a daze.
This scene was frozen in front of his eyes, and was deeply recorded in the deepest part of his mind.
It was night in the village, and Xu Huaigu was lying on the bed with a painful expression on his face. Even though he was unconscious, he was tossing and wailing.
His mother Qin Qi and his father Xu Xingchuan sat beside his bed, speechless.
Seeing his painful look, Qin Qi's heart felt like a knife. She covered the tears that were about to well up with her hands and began to sob. Xu Xingchuan patted her shoulder firmly and comforted her: "It's okay. The high priest said that Xu Huaigu was too frightened and will be fine after a while."
She cried: "He has been unconscious for a whole day and a night, how can I not worry? I'm afraid the high priest doesn't know what's going on, otherwise why didn't he save him?"
The room became quiet again, only the sound of tears dripping to the ground was left.
Xu Xingchuan couldn't stand the silent atmosphere and yelled: "The village has been really evil recently. Li Zi and Xu Huaigu were in a coma by the river together, and the girl was a little crazy when she woke up. Last night, Chen Wucai and his cousin Chen Wucai was also killed, what is going on!"
The woman Qin Qi shed even more tears when she thought of the poor child Zhang Xiaohe. She begged: "Zhang Xiaohe's child really didn't know what evil he did in his last life. All his relatives are gone. What will he do in the future? What a wonderful child. Why don't we let him come to our house in the future?"
Xu Xingchuan hesitated and said helplessly: "Okay, I still have enough strength to support two children."
In a house near Xueshu, Chen Wuhua yelled angrily and sadly: "God damn it! I have never done anything wrong, yet I took all my relatives away one by one! Tell me, why is this?" ah!"
He punched the wall with his fist, venting his inner unwillingness and grief.
Chu Xian stood beside him and sighed. It has been a troubled time recently. Multiple murders have disrupted the peaceful life in the village. Two children were also unconscious beside the Lingjiang River. Apparently, they had touched the deepest secret of the Lingjiang River.
The most terrifying thing is that the Chen family has been murdered, and only Chen Wuhua's bloodline is left. Tomorrow is the annual sacrificial ceremony, and no bloodline can be missing!
As the high priest, he knew the secrets of the village. On the other side of the Lingjiang River is the territory of the demon clan outside the territory. Five hundred years ago, the demon clan from outside the territory attacked the central territory. They were caught off guard and were so powerful that they directly took away the territory of three continents. They were known as the demon territory and competed with the central territory.
The people of the Central Territory felt the crisis, and signed an armistice agreement with the Demon Territory at the cost of giving up most of the Eastern Fuyao Continent, and the border was the Lingjiang River.
The strength of the demon clan on the other side of the Lingjiang River was originally comparable to that of the human race, but the demon king was extremely powerful and unbeatable. They were willing to submit to one place, and the human race naturally did not dare to trust them, so they gathered almost the entire human race's strength to sneak attack on the king of the demon clan - Molong while they were signing the contract.
After all, the dragon is the king of monsters, and it is only slightly at a disadvantage when attacked by multiple people. The battle was so dark that the entire central part of East Fuyao Continent was razed to the ground and all life was in ruins. Originally, the Dragon King could still escape, but he was concerned about the casualties of his family members and refused to retreat to the death. The humans couldn't kill him, so they built a large formation in the middle of East Fuyao Continent to guard Molong.
The dragon slayers at that time each divided their blood, built villages in this green ridge, and continued to thrive. May 7th was the day when the Black Dragon was suppressed. The annual blood sacrifice was to strengthen the formation. If something goes wrong in the sacrifice and the seal is weakened, and the Black Dragon appears again, the world will be in ruins.
Chu Xian did not dare to be careless. The death of the Chen family was not a big deal, but if the last of the Chen family's bloodline was lost, it would be a major event in the world!
In this room, in addition to the angry Chen Wuhua, he and the other two priests were protecting Chen Wuhua, and nothing could happen!
This night, none of the three priests dared to sleep, and they guarded him dutifully.
It was almost dawn, but the murderer still didn't show up. Chen Wuhua slumped on the ground helplessly in the corner.
Everything seems to be under control.
He was confused, wasn't the murderer ready to take action? If so, it will be almost impossible to find such opportunities in the future.
He always has a bad feeling...
