ocean-life Chapter 5
Chapter 5
Tall, misshapen humanoid body with long upper limbs, where what should have been arms were replaced by two scythes, one long and one short.
This is an inferior demon.
Zhu Zhihan evaluates calmly.
If it was still in her previous life, she could easily kill this thing.
But unfortunately, she is just a mortal who has not yet developed a sense of anger.
So she can only-
run.
He casually pulled the potted plant aside and threw it at the face of the demon.
She turned and ran, through the Moon Gate.
Behind her, there was the sound of porcelain being smashed, followed by heavy footsteps.
It was night now.
Fire suddenly ignited in the sky, and in the distance, screams and cries came and went, passing from small open-air courtyards to everyone's ears.
There was more than one demon mixed in.
The hunt has begun.
"Zheng-"
The sound of a sharp weapon piercing the air.
Zhu Zhihan rolled to the right, dodging the scythe again, but due to the loss of physical strength, he didn't keep up with the instructions, and a deep gash was cut on his wrist.
Blood beads rolled out.
Ignoring the burning pain, she took a breath and stood up, taking time to look at the system.
[Countdown 4:01:56. 】
No.
The body of a mortal is too weak, and she will be consumed to death.This is by no means the correct solution.
So what should she do?
The sickle slashed down again, and the metal blade reflected the moonlight and shone on her face.
The drooping sideburns were blown up.
"Crack!"
The blade cut into the stone pile.
Zhu Zhihan narrowly avoided it by turning sideways, and rolled to extend the distance, and the scythe got stuck in the crack as she expected.
Even though this demon's IQ was not enough, it still felt that it was being teased by its prey, and it raised its head and roared angrily, the sound piercing its eardrums, causing a slight dizziness.
This seam didn't hold the demon for long.Probably because of anger, after a few breaths, the stone was about to be shaken away by the strange force.
If the devil breaks free, it will surely tear any living thing in front of it.
Zhu Zhihan did not turn around and run away as before.
She looked at the demon coldly, pressing her fingertips on her wound.
The blood from the wound hadn't dried up yet, and the cold white fingertips were stained with blood.
She dipped in the blood, and drew a series of symbols on her forehead, the back of her hand, and her arms.
The stones scattered in all directions.
The tall demon suddenly pulled out his sickle and turned around.
Its dark eyes looked around, and its dry nostrils sniffed hard: "Huh?"
What about people?
The bloody mouth was close in front of his eyes, and the corrosive liquid dripped on the ground. Zhu Zhihan stood still, with a calm expression.
The monster passed her, stepped through the moon gate, and ran away.
interest rate symbol.
Evolved from the formation, it is a simple version that can be painted directly on people. As the name suggests, it is a spell that conceals one's body shape so that the other party cannot detect it.
This is the correct solution.
Although the Mysterious Yin Physique does not have much benefit in the cultivation process, its blood can be regarded as a good material for the formation.
The most useful point is that the formation method should require spiritual power to connect, but with the blood of the Xuanyin body as the material, it can be used without spiritual power, and ordinary people can draw usable formation symbols.
It is very suitable for her at this time.
The benefits of the breath-holding talisman are obvious. It is easy to form and suitable for short-term battles. It also has disadvantages, that is, it does not last long.
She has to stay somewhere else.
Zhu Zhihan finally found a suitable and hidden corner, and drew another formation with blood on the side of the rockery—this time the painting was a real formation, and it was more stable when painted on a stone, and it required more blood .
After finishing the painting, her face became even paler.
She didn't care, and tore the clothes into strips and wrapped them around the wound.
Outside the rockery, the branches of the trees hang down in disorder, like ghosts with teeth and claws in the dark.
Curled up in the shadows, she suddenly remembered her previous life.
It was the same at that time, in order to avoid the master and the pursuers, she used this formation.
It's a pity that he lost to the hearts of the people in the end.
"But...how could there be a demon..." she murmured.
In her previous life, she did not participate in spiritual washing, and left directly with Daoist Danqi, and she never heard about it afterward.
This is the mustard world made by the Xianmeng with a special method. The key to open it is in charge of the Xianmeng's special personnel, and it is reasonable to say that there should be no demons infiltrating it.
There are still so many demons.
unless……
Some people in the Xianmeng rebelled, and demons invaded the Xianmeng.
A hundred years ago, the demon clan was defeated, suppressed into the abyss, and retreated to survive. The cultivation world ushered in a rare century of peace.
The 30-year general election is the moment for Xianmeng to absorb fresh blood, which means the future of Xianmeng.
If this year's newcomers are slaughtered, it will be a big loss for Xianmeng, and it will even hurt face.
Is this a signal planned by the demons to start a counterattack?
No wonder.
If the last demon's actions were really successful, the Immortal League would definitely suppress the news.
A lot of chaotic information and clues were assembled in my mind.
At this time, there were chaotic footsteps in the distance.
Two light and one heavy.
"...Damn it, you can't get rid of it!"
A woman's voice.
"It's playing tricks on us." Immediately afterwards, the voice of another teenager sounded, trembling with unspeakable fear, "Do you still remember what it was like for a cat to play tricks on a mouse? Just like now, let the mouse run away, catch it Stay, run, and finally—”
"Shut up you!"
The footsteps were approaching.
Zhu Zhihan saw two people running near the rockery where she was hiding, the boy tripped over a tree root lying on the ground, the woman ran ahead, stopped when she heard the movement, and went to help him.
In just a few breaths of effort, a black figure holding a double scythe appeared behind them.
The woman's eyesight is quick to pull the boy.
If one step was too late, one of them would lose an arm and a leg.
Zhu Zhihan hid on the side, with the existence of the breathing formation, no one and no demon found her.
She looked at the scene in front of her so calmly, almost indifferently.
If it was her in the past, she would have gone out to save people without hesitation, but...
The most serious impact on her in the previous life was not the physical pain, or even the lost life, but... the ability to trust people.
The closest friends and family members will choose to betray because of an outsider, so what about the stranger who only met once?
Zhu Zhihan's clear and cold eyes reflected these three shadows.
She couldn't guarantee that after she saved someone, the other party wouldn't push her back.
Saving people is really a foolish and unrewarding thing.
……
Du Peiran really did not expect that Xiling would develop into such a situation.
It was soaking well in the ectoplasmic fluid, and then a jet-black thing came out, hacked two people to death with a scythe.
His legs went limp from fright, but fortunately his psychologically strong companion—Xiao Chuling was still there, holding his collar and running out.
This mustard world is really big and complicated.
They crossed many moon gates and crossroads, but the monster seemed to be able to smell them, no matter how they tried to hide, they couldn't get away!
At last they were overtaken.
Du Peiran tripped over a tree root, sprained his ankle, and ran with a limp.
His face was covered with tears and sweat because of fear: "Woman Xia! Miss Xiao! You run, I can't run anymore, I stay here, you take advantage of this time, quickly..."
"Snapped!"
There was a slap mark on his face, Xiao Chuling grabbed the collar on the back of his neck and shouted: "Move if you have the strength, don't compare!"
Once again narrowly avoiding the scythe, he was also dragged to the ground by Xiao Chuling's strength, crying: "Thank you, thank you. Miss Xiao, please don't leave me, I don't want to die..."
He seems to be like this all the time, mediocre and incompetent, he finally mustered up the courage, but only a little bit, and after a short while, he revealed his original form.
Because of his feet, they couldn't run very far, so they could only confront this monster in this small courtyard.
Soon, they were cornered.
In front of him was a tall monster, his whole leg was limp, and Xiao Chuling's condition was not very good, he was panting heavily, his muscles were convulsed, and sweat flowed down his cheeks to his neck.
His mind went blank.
Are you going to die?
But at this moment, he felt something grab him from behind.
He was dragged back, a cold hand over his mouth.
"Shh."
Collapsing in the shadow of the rockery, he saw a thin figure.
Soon, the figure followed suit and brought Xiao Chuling in.
He was in a trance.
The tall monster circled outside twice, walked away with heavy steps.
Ann, is it safe?
Someone saved them?
With the faint light, he looked at the person who saved him and Xiao Chuling.
The snowy hair, which is also very conspicuous in the dark, and the beautiful and delicate outline, make people think of it at a glance when they see it.
"You, you are..." He unconsciously used honorifics.
Isn't this the apprentice of the Taoist priest, the legendary figure who stands out from the crowd! ?
Xiao Chuling also recognized the person: "Hey, it's you! Sure enough, you are different from those people..."
Xiao Chuling said excitedly: "Do you still remember me, this soft-legged shrimp and I talked to you during the day, hehe."
Du Peiran embarrassedly scratched his cheek.
The girl's cold voice sounded: "It's not time to relax yet."
"I saved you, not for nothing, you have to swear to heaven."
"God's oath?"
The girl nodded: "Yes. Take the Dao Heart as your oath. If you violate the oath, even if you enter the door of cultivation in the future, you will be a demon every step of the way, and it is difficult to see the Dao."
After the two of them cheered up, Xiao Chuling calmed down first, and said, "It should. You saved us, we should have agreed to any of your requests, just say it."
"Okay. What I want is actually very simple," the girl said.
"From now on, you must listen to me."
……
Although it was a very uneconomical deal, Zhu Zhihan still saved him.
She couldn't say why she acted like this.
Maybe it was because seeing someone who was as helpless as she was in her previous life, she couldn't sit still.
She knew that feeling best.
Of course, when saving people, she had already thought of everything and made them take an oath.
With the oath of heaven, they dare not betray her.
According to Zhu Zhihan's request, Xiao Chuling and the two made the oath of heaven, and they were still a little dazed: "This, is this the end?"
Zhu Zhihan frowned: "Otherwise?"
Xiao Chuling: "We thought..." The other party would ask them to do more egregious things, such as being cannon fodder or something.
Zhu Zhihan said lightly: "If you want to add something else, I don't mind."
The two shook their heads violently.
Xiao Chuling laughed first.
"Hey, you are really a good person."
After resting for a while, the two calmed down and briefly described their previous experience.
To be honest, they didn't expect to be rescued at all. These ordinary people had no power to fight back in front of those monsters, so they could only run away.
Previously, Xiao Chuling tried to find someone to cooperate with them to fight against these monsters.
However, those favored children of heaven who were selected into the sect promised well, but then they only cared about escaping and pushed them out.
After hearing what happened to them, Zhu Zhihan remained silent.
"...You guys are pretty good."
If it was someone else, the grass on the grave should be two feet high now.
Du Peiran said: "It's all up to Sister Xiao. Sister Xiao knows martial arts. If it's only me, it's really cool hahaha."
Xiao Chuling was a little embarrassed by the compliment: "We're lucky, right?"
As she spoke, she looked at Zhu Zhihan.
Zhu Zhihan has mixed feelings: If being pushed out to block a knife is good luck, then there is nothing bad luck.
However, at least she didn't save her by mistake.
The three recharged their batteries for a while.
Just as Zhu Zhihan expected, they didn't stay calm for too long.
But... It was different from what she expected, and it wasn't a high-level demon that could break through her formation.
But -
Youdao's bloody figure caught the eyes of the three of them, and it seemed familiar.
Xiao Chuling recognized it: "She...is she the one from Medicine Sect, that one..."
As soon as the words fell, the man glanced at them, and then he seemed to lose his strength and passed out.
Surprise flashed across Zhu Zhihan's face, and then he turned cold.
Her voice is cold: "Really Danqi..."
"I didn't expect to meet at this time, what a coincidence."
Coincidentally, it doesn't seem like a coincidence at all.
The author has something to say:
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu In this chapter, it is not written about the appearance of the wife, so the next chapter should be fine!
