In the night, a light road leads to Zaoye Village. Around the light road, a large area of darkness envelopes the surrounding mountains and forests.
Occasionally, there were footsteps and the sound of iron ropes in the darkness, as if someone was dragging the iron ropes forward.
Zhang Chu and Tong Qingyu felt a little creepy when they heard these sounds.
At this time, Zhang Chu couldn't help but ask: "Teng Su, what is this dark night in the demon ruins?"
This time, Teng Su didn't speak carelessly. She just said lightly: "Don't talk about this in the demon ruins, so as not to attract its attention."
Well, it seems that Fujisu is not without taboos.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Fujisu is known as "The Third in the Demon Ruins", and she is not invincible in the Demon Ruins.
Not long after, the three people returned to Zaoye Village.
The villagers were immediately excited when they saw Zhang Chu and Xiao Putao returning.
"Sir and Little Putao are back!" someone shouted loudly.
All of a sudden, the old village chief and his clan members gathered around, and everyone was talking about anything.
"Sir, the meat has been stewed, please eat something quickly!"
"Are you tired, sir? I've already made the bed."
"Sir, these are lemon-yellow beads. I heard that they can be worn on the body to soothe the soul. They are a specialty of Ning Village. The village chief personally sent them here."
"Sir, this is the golden silkworm chrysalis sent from Huangsang Village. It's delicious."
…
Zhang Chu heard it. Zhang Chu and Xiao Putao killed many demons and saved many villagers today. After the villagers were rescued, they immediately sent people to Zaoye Village to thank them.
Of course, the old village chief was not stingy. After accepting their gifts, he also asked them to bring some meat back.
After being lively for a while, Zhang Chu raised his hand and asked everyone to quiet down.
At this time, Zhang Chu threw out the amputated arm of the golden monkey: "Roast it for me. Tonight, I want to eat roasted monkey legs!"
"Okay!" Someone immediately caught the monkey's severed arm and went to grill Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu held the little grape and placed it under the tree where Teng Su was attached.
She was still sleeping, and the moonlight shone down, forming a faint halo around the little grape.
After a while, the moonlight fell down like a waterfall. The little grape that was originally lying on the stone gradually floated up, suspended in the air, and was wrapped in a large piece of moonlight.
When people's eyes fall on Little Grape, they can actually see a beautiful figure dancing in the moonlight...
The daytime battle really benefited Little Grape a lot.
The stars behind her flickered out, and the moonlight entered Little Putao's life well, and holes in the life wells were opened.
Teng Su also entered into practice, with several vines surrounding Little Grape. She was carefully observing Little Grape's cultivation status, hoping to obtain the secret of eliminating pollution from Little Grape's practice.
Not far away, the amputated arm of the golden monkey had been roasted to brown, and droplets of bright oil dripped on the fire, making a sizzling sound.
Soon, Zhang Chu held the roasted golden monkey's broken arm and started to eat it. It was so delicious, it contained spiritual power, was crispy and juicy, and Zhang Chu felt comfortable all over!
"It seems that the higher the monster's cultivation level, the more delicious the meat will be!" Zhang Chu thought in his heart.
…
The next morning, Tong Qingyu brought bad news again.
"Sir, village chief, two more villages have disappeared." Tong Qingyu said.
The old village chief said hurriedly: "Tell me what's going on."
Tong Qingyu told what he saw this morning one by one.
One is the White Snake Village. Their patron saint is a huge white snake.
The white snake has a docile temperament and often communicates with the villagers. The children in that village can even ride on the white snake and play with it.
However, overnight, the white snake died, leaving only a pair of snake skin and withered bones.
The villagers of White Snake Village also completely disappeared, not even their bones were left.
The other is Longhuai Village. Their patron saint is a Longhuai tree.
The locust tree was originally extremely green and blazing green. Its dragon-head-like crown covered the entire village.
But overnight, the Longhuai tree withered, and all the villagers in Longhuai Village disappeared completely.
Zhang Chu and the old village chief were silent for a while when they heard the news.
After a long time, the old village chief sighed: "Hey, it seems that we really can't stay in this monster market any longer."
At this time, Tong Qingyu said: "Old village chief, sir, I saw that other villages that were not destroyed have begun to relocate. They can't wait any longer."
Zhang Chu nodded: "This is normal. If you continue to guard the weak patron saint, you can only wait for death."
"I'm afraid it won't be long before Zaoye Village is the only one left within a few hundred miles." Tong Qingyu's tone was somewhat lonely.
Although there was little communication between the various villages in the Demonic Ruins, the surrounding area was suddenly cleared, which still made people feel empty and inexplicably lonely.
At this moment, the old jujube tree shook for a while and made some sounds: "Don't be sad, after a while, we will leave too..."
Zhang Chu immediately looked at the old jujube tree, and he bent down slightly: "God of the jujube tree, where can we go?"
The old Zao Shu's voice came: "Don't worry, I will take you with me when the time comes."
Then Lao Zaoshu said: "But it's not the time yet, I still have some things to do. When the time comes, I will take you away."
"After a while, the demon ruins may fall into an eternal night."
Old Zaoshu's words made everyone in the village look stiff.
Will the demon ruins fall into an eternal night? Wouldn't that mean that all living things must die?
At this time, Teng Su's voice also came: "Little Putao, we must seize the time. We must practice to the perfection of the Well of Life before the long night comes, otherwise, I will be miserable..."
Little Putao’s cultivation is actually related to Teng Su’s life!
No wonder she cultivated Little Grape like this.
At this time, Zhang Chu asked: "Jujube Tree God, can you tell us how long it will take before the demon ruins turn into an eternal night?"
"Come on, after the great chaos comes, this demon ruins will turn into darkness forever." Old Zao Shu's voice gradually disappeared.
Zhang Chu suddenly understood.
It seems that some big events are going to happen in this monster ruins, and the real chaos has not yet come.
Of course, once the so-called great chaos comes, many creatures in the depths may not have time to escape and will be swallowed directly by the darkness.
Two days later, Zhang Chu's life well once again broke through two holes and reached the 24th life well.
Xiao Putao's training speed is also very fast. He has gone from the 15th hole to the 22nd hole. Teng Su is very satisfied with this speed.
According to the news detected by Tong Qingyu, the villagers from all the surrounding villages had left and went to Dashuo City together. No one knew what their fate was.
Zaoye Village also needs to face its own destiny.
At noon that day, there was a strong wind and the sand and rocks were rolling.
In the blink of an eye, dark clouds rolled in, and the originally clear sky suddenly became gloomy. The whole world suddenly dimmed, and it was pitch black as if evening was coming.
But this is not the night of Yaoxu, it is not the kind of complete darkness. You can still vaguely see the mountains and forests in the distance that are blown to the waist.
"Hoo, ho..." The strong wind was raging, and many big trees were broken and scattered all over the mountain!
This moment seems like the end!
The branches and leaves of the old jujube tree swayed slightly, but the strong wind did not blow into Zaoye Village.
However, the villagers became nervous.
"What's going on? Why is there such a strong wind?" Many people were frightened.
"Is it going to rain heavily?" The villagers looked at the sky. The clouds were thick and low, as if they could reach them if they stretched out their hands.
Suddenly, as a gust of black wind blew by, two blurry figures appeared at the entrance of Zaoye Village.
An old ape with white eyebrows turned into a human form, holding his hands behind his back and looking at Zaoye Village with indifferent eyes.
Next to the old ape, the golden monkey with a broken arm looked honest, but its eyes looking at Zaoye Village were full of hatred.
"Big monster!" A child discovered them and exclaimed.
The Golden Monkey is here to take revenge!
