long night walk

Chapter 1128 Claw Marks
Ji Yu's eyes struggled for a long time, as if he had made a major decision, he took a deep breath.

Ignoring Shu Ci's cold and threatening eyes, he suddenly shouted anxiously:
"Stop quickly! The road Shu Ci pointed out is not the way out of the valley at all, she is leading us deep into the valley!"

This sudden shout made Bai Lian frowned fiercely, but for some unknown reason, he did not choose to stop.

For the next direction reported by Shuci, he rushed to it without hesitation.

Shu Ci never expected that at such a critical moment, he would choose to believe in himself without hesitation in response to Ji Yu's warning.

It was a matter of life and death, and there was not even a moment of hesitation or doubt.

Bailian's unshakable consciousness even made Ji Yu feel that the next moment, he would throw her away as an enemy who sows dissension.

If he chooses to believe in one person, that means denying the other person.

At this critical moment of life and death, even if it were him, he probably would not allow any mistakes to happen accidentally.

But who would have thought that from the beginning to the end, Bai Lian seemed to have not heard his call, and continued to move forward as usual.

Although Ji Yu was grateful to him for not leaving him behind, seeing him rushing deeper and deeper, she was burning with anxiety.

Seeing the deeper and deeper in the secret mountain forest, the crimson mist is getting thicker and thicker.

But the surrounding sounds were dead silent, and the muddy ground under his feet became as hard as growing rocks, and there was no sign of collapse that devoured people around him.

Even the lingering corpse odor is gradually fading away with the wind.

Except for the thick scarlet mist, it looks like there is no other difference between this place and the outside world.

It seems that under this normal and calm appearance, this obscure primitive secret is hidden.

Those mountains ran wild, and the corpses of trees and grass forests rose up, chasing and spreading from behind Bai Li'an like a source of pollution.

But the further you go, the speed that is as unstoppable as a torrent obviously slows down.

The corpse-like pollution and engulfment did not spread outwards from the center of the valley, but gathered towards the center of the valley like a huge gathered cocoon.

Following the last direction reported by Shu Ci, Bai Lian stepped forward.

The scarlet mist in front of him suddenly opened up, as if separating himself, showing the scene in front of him.

Crimson is the flame of fire, reflecting the long night.

What came into view was a silently burning crimson cherry blossom tree.

Different from the towering bone tree with huge branches and branches like a forest, this scarlet cherry tree is only the size of an ordinary century-old tree.

Whether it's branches, trunks or flowers and leaves, they are as transparent as crimson glass, showing crystal patterns like flames flowing inside.

It is even more different from the ghostly shadows in other parts of the valley, the cold and damp breath of death is permeating in all directions.

The air here is extremely dry, and the flowers and trees are like the scorching sun.

There are countless pale and cold wandering spirits floating around the cherry tree, eager to get close.

And around the cherry tree, a light barrier like an upside-down bowl was formed.

And those pale and cold souls were blocked outside the barrier, no matter how close they were, they couldn't enter it.

Bai Lian saw something special about the cherry tree in the barrier, even though it hadn't entered the barrier yet.

The alienation of the surrounding scenery has become very slow, far from the crisis along the way when we came here.

When Bai Lian came to the junction, he stopped. He put Shu Ci and Ji Yu down.

The moment the body stopped, there was a tidal wave of tiredness in the physically overloaded body.

There was a strong soreness in the bones of the whole body, and the pain in the muscles was severe.

He pressed his left hand between his heart, took a few long breaths, and only then gradually calmed down the trembling corpse bead.

Bai Lian looked at the enchantment in front of him, his lips were a little dehydrated, and his face was bloodless.

The two scarlet blooming Manjusawa flowers in the pupils have also become much fainter, and the original silhouette of the flower shadow can hardly be seen.

He calmed down a little, and was able to make his mind not so cold and numb.

Ji Yu stood beside him, biting her red lips tightly, her eyes were full of stubbornness and complexity, she didn't speak.

A sense of uneasiness gradually arose in Bai Li'an's heart. He looked at Shu Ci and asked, "What is this place?"

Shu Ci looked at the enchantment of the cherry tree, his mind was wandering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

He didn't answer Bai Li'an's question.

Seeing her like this, Bai Lian couldn't help frowning even deeper.

He was about to continue asking questions, but Shuci opened his mouth first and said, "This is the 'heart' of Yinxu Valley."

"heart?"

Shuci's eyelashes drooped slightly, and the dark circles under his eyes, which were originally blue, were shrouded in light and shadow, and the shadows under his eyes became thicker.

"Everything in the world has weaknesses. Guixian Suiyou's weakness is the 'divine tower', and the weakness of this Yinxu Valley is the 'heart'."

Bai Lian knew that Shuci had always been knowledgeable about the past and the present, and it was not surprising that he knew the secrets of this valley.

It's just that if she knew the way to overcome it, why didn't she say it out early, but deliberately concealed it, and led him here by leading him out of the valley?
Ji Yu seemed to have something to say, Shu Ci gave her a blank look, and then said: "The matter has come to this point, there is no way out."

These words seemed to be an answer to Bai Lian, but Ji Yu knew that it was for him.

Ji Yu opened her mouth silently, as if something was on her mind that she couldn't express, her brows were full of anxiety.

But under Shu Ci's indifferent gaze, he still closed his mouth and chose to remain silent.

Seeing this, Bai Lian felt that there was something weird and wrong. He frowned and said, "You mean, if you cut down this tree, you can break the situation?"

Shu Ci looked away from Ji Yu, smiled lightly and said, "That's right."

Bai Lian stared silently.

Shuci laughed again: "Why, don't you trust me? Now that things have happened, do you think we will still harm you?"

Bai Lian shook his head, and saw in his eyes that the rotten and filthy smell that seemed to crawl out of the ground in all directions had begun to envelope him.

The soil-gray ground protected under the cherry tree also began to spread and disintegrate under the envelope of that breath, turning into a brownish-red muddy substance, and the whole ground was beating and crawling in a bewildering manner.

The forest valley surging in the darkness is even more majestic.

Bai Lian frowned, took the hands of Shu Ci and Ji Yu, and walked towards the barrier.

"Anyway, let's go in and talk."

Ji Yu said nothing.

Shu Ci followed behind Bai Lian obediently, stepping on small steps and following closely.

It's just that there is an enchantment under the burning crimson cherry tree, and the three of them are also blocked outside the enchantment like the wandering ghosts.

Bai Lian's eyes lingered, he was focused on finding a way to enter the enchantment, but he didn't notice Shu Ci behind him.

Looking at his back through the dark night, she suddenly stretched out her hand, and gently patted Bai Lian on the shoulder.

Bai Lian didn't defend her against her, but out of the corpse demon's natural sensitive instinct, he could feel Shuci's movements behind him.

His heart moved, and he was about to turn around with a bit of doubt on his face.

But Shu Ci just patted him on the shoulder lightly, talking about small talk that has nothing to do with breaking the formation:

"You little thing has high shoulders, and we can see the scenery far away when we sit on it.

I just don't know... When you carry me on your back, do you feel that I am heavy? "

Bai Lian was taken aback, not knowing why she would suddenly ask this question, thinking that she still cared about what Gui Xiansui said, so she couldn't help laughing and jokingly said:
"If I say it's heavy, will you not want me to carry it in the future?"

I thought that after hearing this, Shu Ci would be as relentless as before, pestering and cheating regardless of the occasion.

But who would have thought that after a moment of silence behind her, she said quietly, "Well, why don't you recite it in the future?"

The palm on Bai Li'an's shoulder suddenly exerted force, and under the palm of the palm, the ghost and spirit stood up and spit out into a golden circle of light, and an unparalleled power came from under her palm.

A terrifying roar erupted from Bai Li'an's body, and his shoulder suddenly exploded, leaving behind five deep scars like animal claws.

Fresh blood gushed out like a spring, and even his blood energy couldn't heal half of it.

He was lifted up by a huge force, and the blood mixed with the majestic monster power emanating from Shu Ci's body splashed on the circle of light.

As if the heavy rain had soaked through the paper window, a gap opened.

Bai Lian fell into the gap and slammed his body heavily under the burning cherry tree. The blood sprayed from his body was dyed red in the clear stream under the tree and smudged into a large swath of melancholy colors.

He looked in disbelief at the demonic woman standing on the other side of the dark fire.

Ji Yu's expression was extremely complicated.

With a sneering chuckle on the corner of Shuci's mouth, he said, "Why, do you still want me to invite you in?"

Ji Yu seemed in an extremely bad mood, didn't talk to her, and walked into the barrier in silence.

Yu Shuci was alone, standing outside, without the slightest intention of coming in.

The thin light of the enchantment was like a rain curtain, quickly washing away the blood left by Bai Lian, and the gap that was melted was slowly closing.

Bai Lian struggled to get up, but he was hit hard by Shu Ci's blow, but he found that it was difficult to mobilize his spiritual energy.

Ji Yu put one hand on his uninjured shoulder and remained silent, not letting him get up.

Seeing that the barrier was about to heal, Bai Lian gritted his teeth and said:
"I don't care if you are using me to open this enchantment or not. I will definitely teach you a lesson in the future, but the enchantment is about to close right now, so you come in first."

Across the light mist of the crimson fire, Shuci's incomparable face was like a dream, she smiled softly, her eyes regained the indifference and aloofness of the Demon River period.

"Come in? Come in and be buried with you?"

She didn't move a step, as if she didn't pay attention to the crisis that started to be devoured by corpses from all directions behind her.

Bai Lian told her to look calm and calm, and her eyes gradually became calmer.

He looked at Shuci fixedly, and said, "So, did you lure me here on purpose?"

The flirtatious smile of the past disappeared from Shuci's coquettish face.

Those vertical pupils that were so deep that they could see into the bottom of people's hearts made one feel a little bit chilling.

She raised the corners of her lips, and her words were as thin as cold water: "You seem to have forgotten that our generation has always been an existence that makes people escape from death."

Shu Ci's indifferent eyes looked at Bai Li'an, with a touch of sympathy and sympathy, shook his head and continued:
"It's ridiculous that you actually think that I was beaten back to my original shape by the demon king, and that I am you, a plaything and pet that can be used to amuse me?
You keep calling me a little demon, but Mohe Shuci, who has gone through millions of years, is willing to be a little demon because of his own weakness? "

Bai Lian wiped the blood stained in his palm on his robe expressionlessly, and looked at her with dark eyes:
"So you approached me just to wait for an opportunity to recover your cultivation?"

Facing his cold gaze, Shu Ci was unmoved and smiled faintly.

"Hiding ingenuity in clumsiness, using obscurity to make it clear, this is also one of the layouts that my generation is best at."

Bai Li'an lowered his eyes and said: "The eagle stands like a sleep, and the tiger walks like a disease. It turns out that this is the real cleverness of Mohe Shuci's method of capturing and devouring people.

It's me who underestimated you, but I don't understand, what is there in this valley that is worth taking such a big risk for you? "

Shu Ci's eyes were cold for no reason: "Of course there is something here that can help us return to the peak and fight back to the devil world.

Otherwise, do you think that we are here to have a romantic relationship with you and have a house with you?
It is thanks to you that we will end up like this today.Today, I just asked you for a little more interest. "

"Thanks to me?"

Shu Ci sneered and said: "As one of the six rivers in the Demon Realm, we are restrained by the Demon Lord.

If she hadn't secretly ordered me to release water on you in the duel at the magic palace banquet, how could we have been injured.

You are well aware that the demon monarch is tyrannical and tyrannical, but you will never allow others to get involved in anything she fancyes!

But you were born to be in the palace of the underworld, right under her eyelids, to act recklessly with that demon He Ning Feiyan in the medicine bath, forcing the demon king's burning heart fruit to erupt, and being driven mad by that demon.

In order not to be repulsed by her own hostility, she came to Qingxiao Mountain where we live. We have not recovered from our wounds, and were almost dismembered by this maddened demon king.

If it wasn't for my hard work, I escaped from death and escaped to the human world in my original form. I don't know what a tragic end it would be. "

"Baili'an, right now, do you feel wronged by being deceived by us?
But how do you know that the karmic retribution in the world is the retribution you should bear. "

Bailian was stunned.

He didn't expect that Yin Ning Feiyan's nonsense in that glazed barrel back then would bring such a disaster to Shuci.

So from the very beginning... she came prepared?

"But I didn't lie to you in one thing."

"This scarlet cherry tree is indeed the heart of the Yinxu Valley, an important core thing. In a short period of time, it seems that you will not be swallowed up by this valley.

But this cherry tree is extremely sensitive to the breath of the soul, it has an extremely powerful power to absorb souls, but with the enchantment laid by the ghost and fairy, this tree cannot swallow the soul.

Now you are already in the barrier, until this tree devours the souls of both of you.

The entire corpse valley can fall into a short period of silence, so that we have time to get what we want. "
