Kuroyukisu's shoulder injury was healed, but her waist was injured again. She was extremely weak for a moment, but she still endured the pain and swung her stick at the man beneath her again!
"Aunt Xue!" Although Heixue had already restrained some of her strength, the blow from the front was still powerful. Jin Tiaojiang smashed several small trees one after another before reluctantly stopping. When he saw Hei Xue was about to attack again, it was too late for him to rush back again, so he could only shout in a hurry.
When Hei Xue heard this, her body froze for a moment, and the short stick in her hand finally stopped behind Huang You's neck.
"Why?" Seeing Heixue stop moving, Jin Tiaojiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his mood was extremely tangled.
"No reason, just kill if you want, that's all." Heixue's voice still had no fluctuations, as if he was telling an extremely ordinary thing, "And...even if this person can barely survive, he will seek death sooner or later, so it's better Let me help him get over it."
"Why should you decide other people's life and death?" Jin Tiaojiang said through gritted teeth.
"Then when you were acting willfully, did you ever think that...everything you did determined the life and death of others?" Heixue asked in return.
"I..." Jin Tiaojiang didn't know how Heixue knew, but she was clearly talking about changing the number, and she was speechless for a moment.
"Since they all have the same result, what's the difference between you and me?"
"Even...even so...I am acting for the right path. It is much better than you following that man to cause trouble and doing all kinds of evil things!" Jin Tiaojiang said with a menacing aura.
"Everything in the world is for profit, and everything in the world is for profit..." Hei Xue pulled off a piece of cloth, casually tightened the wound on his waist, and said lightly: "What if I follow the man? It's just a matter of each other. Just take what you need!”
"Shuyu must not know what you are doing... I wonder what she will think after hearing your high-sounding words, and how can you deserve her trust?" Jin Tiaojiang said sharply.
Hearing this, Kuroyukihime's fists trembled slightly, but his words remained calm: "I have my own plans. If you threaten me with Miss again, don't blame me for being rude to you again!"
"Ha! If I hadn't been so soft-hearted and your treacherous tricks succeeded over and over again, how could it be your turn to speak so loudly? Now that the power of my bloodline has returned to its original state, I would like to know what else you can do to me?"
Hei Xue also sneered a few times when he heard this: "I have taken advantage of you several times, but I really don't know my last name anymore? If I hadn't been so unsure, why would I want to waste more words with you?"
"You...you are stalling for time!" Jin Tiaojiang's face darkened upon hearing this.
"Hahaha... The brat is still a bit smart, but it's a pity..." Before Hei Xue finished speaking, he suddenly said loudly to Jin Tiaojiang's back: "Mr. Jin, I leave this place to you..."
Jin Tiaojiang's heart thundered when he heard this, and he looked directly behind him, but there was no figure behind him? When he turned around again, he saw that the black snow had disappeared without a trace, and he could only hear a light laughter coming from the distance: "It's a pity that he is too smart..."
"Damn it!" Jin Tiaojiang found out that he had been deceived again, and was furious. He wanted to chase after the sound, but he was worried that Heixue had lured the tiger away from the mountain and came back to attack Huang You, so he could only put aside his anger. Come down and prepare to rescue Huang You.
Due to being oppressed for a long time, Huang You's arms have already turned green and black, and there is no warmth at all. If this continues to drag on, Huang You's life will be in danger! Jin Tiaojiang was afraid that Heixue would frame Huang You, so naturally he had no plans to return to the Black Eagle Clan.
Just when he was worried, his eyes suddenly lit up and he remembered Jia Lihu, so he hurriedly carried him on his back and hurried towards Yangdu...
Although the road from the Black Eagle Clan to Yangdu is remote, it is by no means deserted. In the past few days, Jin Tiaojiang had not seen even half a living person on the road, and he felt faintly uneasy in his heart.
Now he came to a village, and his original intention was to come and find someone to get some news. But as soon as I got closer, I saw that the village was in a mess. There were still a lot of dried blood on the ground and some puddles holding the smelly liquid. Where was anyone there? This scene made him even more uneasy. During the time when he was enjoying the world between two people, what happened to the outside world?
Fortunately, there are still remaining food and water sources in the village, which Jin Tijiang can replenish. Although Huang You was still unconscious, with the help of Jin Tiaojiang, he replenished some energy and his face became rosy.
Because it was cold and windy outside at this time, Jin Tijiang was afraid that Huang You's cold symptoms would worsen, so he prepared to take a temporary rest in a house for a night, so that he could have enough energy to continue moving forward! According to his speed, if he sets out from here tomorrow morning, he will arrive in Yangdu at noon tomorrow.
Jin Tiaojiang has been tired of traveling these past few days to be on guard against Heixue's sneak attacks. After settling down, Huang You felt a little unbearable, so he leaned aside and hugged his knees and fell asleep...
He didn't know how long he had slept, but he was suddenly awakened by a slight noise. He looked up and saw that Huang You's breath next to him was still stable. He was slightly relieved, and he yawned and prepared to fall asleep again.
"Click..."
At this moment, the sound of branches breaking suddenly came from outside the courtyard. Jin Tiaojiang instantly lost any sleepiness. He stood up and peeked through the hole in the window into the courtyard.
Although it was late at night, the moonlight outside was still bright. Although it could not illuminate every plant and tree clearly, the scenery was probably still clear. Jin Tiaojiang looked in the direction of the sound, only to see several strange-shaped things lying on the edge of the courtyard wall, looking around.
Jin Tiaojiang can clearly see the appearance of these uninvited guests, but it is difficult to describe this feeling in words. If they are wild beasts in the mountains and forests, they are indescribable. If they are evil creatures, they are full of energy and blood.
At first, he thought it was the stubborn Kuroyukihime who was chasing after him, and he was planning to catch the enemy by surprise, but seeing the real situation in front of him made him feel helpless.
Appearing under the moonlight, in addition to the monsters that accompanied him in his courtyard, there were also many similar monsters sleeping soundly on trees, houses, and roads with their scarlet tongues hanging out. It turned out that the liquid in the puddles before was actually It is made from the saliva of these monsters!
The total number of these monsters in front of me is eighty, if not a hundred. These are only the ones that appear within my line of sight. I don't know how many more are lurking on the left, right and behind outside my line of sight.
If Jin Tiaojiang was the only one here, although he could not say that he could kill all the monsters, he could easily carve out a bloody path! But now he has to protect Huang You, so he naturally has to worry a lot.
Fortunately, these monsters didn't notice him at all. As long as he could escape this night and let these monsters get enough sleep, they would definitely leave here after dawn!
But just when Jin Tiaojiang was about to look away, he saw a flash of white shadow in front of his eyes, and two big blood-red eyes instantly fell into Jin Tiaojiang's sight.
The crumpled face of this thing was as pale as paper, and its two eyes were like two big red lanterns, occupying most of the face of the white paper. At the same time, they were like two upside-down sea bowls, protruding from the white paper. There was a lot of it, as if if you stared hard, it would roll down.
The two eyes on the two lanterns rolled around, and then they focused their gaze on Jin Tiaojiang, and then they broke through the window with a sound and crashed in.
As the window opened, the object finally revealed its true colors. Although the air was dry, its whole body was extremely wet, dripping with water. It was less than half a foot tall, but its neck was very long. It tilted its head and looked at Jin Tijiang carefully. Its two big lantern-like eyes emitted a burst of strange red light, lighting up the room red. Incomparable.
When Jin Tiaojiang saw this thing clearly, he originally took precautions, but as soon as the thought came up, he was suddenly suppressed by him. He stood there and did not make any move again, especially when he could see clearly in front of him. situation, he strengthened his guess even more. Although his face was still surprised, he felt slightly relaxed in his heart.
Jin Tiaojiang once read a book called "Oriental Foreign Objects" when he was in Yangdu. The monster "Lantern Demon" described in it was related to this object!
The book talks about a man who suddenly had a heavy rain on his way home. Because he couldn't bear to spend money to find a hotel to stay overnight, he gritted his teeth and braved the rain. Unfortunately, the heavy rain flooded the wooden bridge and the lanterns at the bridge were extinguished, causing him to slip and fall into the river. Although the water in the river was not high, he panicked and finally drowned in the river. Later, people often saw two red lanterns wandering on the bridge on rainy nights. It is said that this person was unwilling to drown and turned into a lantern demon to guide people. And as long as someone misbehaves and puts out the lantern, he will die tragically in the river the next day.
There is a song after the story: "Lantern demon, lantern demon, I can't bear to spend money. Cross the bridge at night, my eyes are dark and I can't see, my foot slips and I die (liao); Lantern demon, lantern demon, don't run away when you see it." , don’t breathe or move, or you’ll be sent to Naihe Bridge.”
Jin Tiaojiang remembered the later ballad records that when encountering the lantern demon, as long as you don't startle the air flow and don't breathe on him, the lantern demon will not hurt himself. He tried to hold his breath, and sure enough, he saw the lantern demon pause in front of his face for a moment, then looked away, and left with a wet body, no longer paying attention to him.
Seeing the lantern demon leaving, Jin Caojiang was naturally a little relieved, but he was very puzzled. If these famous monsters had not always been rumored, why would they appear here for no reason?
He looked at the strange things outside again, and suddenly an unpleasant thought came to his mind...
But before he had time to think too much, he suddenly felt a strong wind blowing in the room. The eyes of the lantern demon that had just calmed down suddenly became brighter and brighter. Jin Tiaojiang sighed inwardly and turned around to look. Sure enough, I saw the lantern demon looking fierce in front of Huang You...
