long night walk

Chapter 724: Underground Dark City
She ran too fast, and the night fog in the dense forest was thick, and she saw a familiar figure slowly emerging from the fog in front of her eyes. Lin Yuan's heart trembled, but before she could stop, she slammed into the arms of that person.

The man didn't dodge or dodge, he gently stretched out his arms, gently hugging her embarrassed body.

"Sister Lin Yuan." The familiar cold embrace was very similar to the sea where she lived in the distant hometown.

Lin Yuan's eyes were red, and he hugged the other's waist tightly, the teardrops falling from the corners of his eyes turned into beautiful blue pearls, which fell on the ground crisply.

"Mountain lord, mountain lord, mountain lord, mountain lord, mountain lord..."

She was so excited that she spoke incoherently, and there seemed to be a thousand words in her heart, but she could only clumsily call out his name again and again.

It was the first time for Bai Lian to see her cry so fiercely. The mermaid tears shed when the merman was sad were all pure spirit, which hurt the body and mind, so the merman seldom cried.

Amid Lin Yuan's choked-up cries, light rain began to fall gradually from the sky.

The world in the mountains is becoming more and more misty, and the deep forests soaked in the slight rain are becoming more mysterious and beautiful.

When mermen encounter hydrating fish, Lin Yuanzi is no exception. Just now his legs were drenched thoroughly by the rain, and then turned into a cold and beautiful silver-blue fish tail.

Lin Yuan couldn't stand upright, his body went limp immediately, lying on Bai Li'an's chest and almost fell to the ground.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Bai Lian passed her waist with his hands and held the fish tail under her buttocks.

When a merman is not on guard against hostility, the fish scales on his body are not sharp and aggressive, and his hands are cold and slippery. The fish scales are extremely soft and cool to the touch, just like fine jade.

Fish tails are a taboo for sharks, and Bai Li'an was no longer Wuxia Amon, so he dared not touch them randomly.

He squatted down halfway, trying to place Lin Yuan on his lap.

But this time she was not in a hurry to be shy, she raised her red eyes, her lips were bleeding from biting her lips, "Lord of the mountain... I'm sorry, I lost the deer."

Bai Lian's mind was buzzing, and he didn't react for a long time. He frowned vigorously, and said in a low voice, "Sister Lin Yuan, what did you say? The little deer is lost?"

It is obvious that something has been predicted, the traces of those monks staying outside the mountain, and the situation in the outside world.

The image of the demon trainer beating and trampling the little demons with torture danced chaotically in Bai Lian's mind, and he was sober, his throat suddenly blocked, as if a piece of burning charcoal was stuffed into him, burning his internal organs!

Little deer, his little deer.

That innocent and kind little deer who was willing to donate blood to feed him... disappeared?

Bai Lian never told others how important the deer was to him.

He never told anyone.

Only he himself knows.

The deer was the first kind gift he received in this world.

At that time, he was not tolerated by the sky. In the vast expanse, the first deer he picked up was ordinary and weak, but it went through the most difficult time with him.

Bai Lian knew how difficult the road he chose to go down was, so he put the little deer back in this safe mountain forest, and let it run freely and happily in the mountains, chasing tomorrow.

However, his deer... disappeared!

"I'm sorry, Mountain Lord, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The woman in her arms kept crying.

Although Bai Lian didn't say anything, Lin Yuan didn't know what the deer he personally brought into the mountain to protect thoughtfully meant to him.

Bai Lian held his head up, letting the cold raindrops splash on his face.

After a long time, he lowered his head and patted Lin Yuan's trembling back lightly, his eyes shrouded in mist and rain were very light, and his gentleness was unreal: "Sister Lin Yuan, don't cry, it's not your fault, can you tell me what happened?" What happened?"

His deer has always been very well-behaved and listens to Lin Yuan's words. If it were by itself, it would never leave the mountain without authorization.

In this way, there is only one possibility.

Someone outside the mountain knew that there was a spiritual deer in the mountain. Its body was snow-white and its spiritual power was pure. They coveted it and used extraordinary means to lure the deer out of the mountain.

Bai Lian didn't mean to blame Lin Yuan, Xiao Luer had never been entrusted to anyone to take care of him, let alone lost by her.

Seeing the person in his arms almost crying into tears, the appearance of self-blame is also touching.

Bai Lian hugged her cold body, knowing that she must be suffering from lack of water after shedding too many tears and being away from the shore for too long, so he didn't let go, and walked closer to the lake step by step with her in his arms.

The two were immersed in the icy lake, relying on each other.

Lin Yuan knew that he had always been gentle, but she never expected that after such an accident, he would be able to be so gentle, silently using every move to soothe her emotions.

It's really useless to cry like this, Lin Yuan shook the fish's tail, rolled up Bai Li'an's waist to prevent him from sinking into the lake, and told what happened in the past month.

Lu'er left the mountain and disappeared, which happened during the time when Lin Yuan returned from Xianling City.

At that time, she mistakenly thought that Fang Geyu died in the sea world of Bronze Gate, and returned to Kongcang Mountain with unbearable grief.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the mountain, he was hit by a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

In the mountain environment, for some reason, Jin Sheng was severely wounded. He was drunk all day long, like a puddle of mud, and ignored him when he talked to him.

He didn't know when the little deer was lost.

Lin Yuan was alone and anxious, not knowing where to start to investigate, so he went down the nearest mountain to inquire at the foot of the mountain.

It was only after this investigation that they found out that the name of the village under the mountain had been inexplicably affected by the plague a few days ago.

The middle-aged men and women in the village are strong and strong, and they will pass if they resist.

But the plague was deeply contagious, and those young children suffered from high fever day and night, and their lives were dying.

The name of the mountain village tried countless decoctions to no avail, so he had to go up the mountain to help the gods.

Lu'er is gentle by nature and very close to children. Seeing the children suffering in the mountains, he went to pick up the nourishing elixir in the mountains, and went out of the mountains to give them to the villagers door-to-door.

Who ever thought that this plague was originally a trap set up by mortal monks to catch deer.

Before Lu'er finished delivering the elixir, he was surrounded by more than a dozen monks before he even left the village.

The villagers in the mountain originally enshrined Bailian, the lord of the mountain, and they had to ride spirit beasts to deliver medicine. They were extremely grateful. How could they watch this group of outsiders presumptuously catching deer.

But mortals are useless after all, and the only thing they get in exchange for being angry to prevent resistance is a painful lesson, so they have to keep this matter in their hearts and tell Yu Linyuan to listen.

"In the past six months, I have inquired around outside, and I heard that the Tianxi Sword Sect is recruiting disciples recently, and those monks from the outer mountains are crazy about hunting monsters and intending to possess spirits.

I'm afraid that Lu'er was in trouble because of this, but unfortunately, I searched for a long time, but I couldn't find any news about Lu'er, now half a year has passed, and you say..."

The more Lin Yuan talked, the more frightened his face became, he couldn't help but grabbed Bai Li'an's arm, and he wanted to cry: "Do you think Lu'er has..."

Bai Li'an's eyes were downcast, and his pupils were dark. He interrupted her gently: "No."

The corners of his lips curled up, and he was smiling, but that smile was cold to the bone, inexplicably chilling his body: "Even if I searched this mountain and river, I would still find the deer."

In the night, on his fair and handsome face, the maroon imprint of the devil's bone between his brows flashed away.

Lin Yuan couldn't help trembling, feeling that Bai Lian seemed to be a little different from the past when he came back this time.

Bai Lian felt her flinch, put away his smiling face, patted her cheek, and said, "Sister Lin Yuan, don't blame yourself, no one wants to see such a thing happen."

She has lost weight, and there is no flesh on her cheeks. Although her appearance is still beautiful, she is described as haggard.

Thinking about it, this matter has tortured her a lot in the past six months.

No matter how angry Bai Lian was, it was impossible to vent his anger on her.

"Master, the spirit deer you mentioned just now is a deer with a snow-white body and horns as blue as the stars and the sea?"

The Bat Demon who followed Bai Lian into the mountain hadn't had a second look at the mountain scenery before he vaguely heard that a deer raised by Bai Lian was also caught by those damned humans.

While feeling warm and angry, he couldn't help but think that a few months ago, he saw a deer from a distance in the prison car.

There are countless demon trainers in the world, and the captured monsters are naturally not in the minority.

The monsters riding with her have changed wave after wave, and many of them can't remember clearly, but the deer is the only one that left a deep impression on her.

There was no other reason, she remembered that the deer was imprisoned alone in a carriage.

Moreover, the monsters caught around her were basically monsters that turned into humans, except for the deer, which had a complete animal body and did not turn into a human body.

According to common sense, it can only be regarded as a low-level spirit monster, but for some reason, it can be treated so seriously by that group of humans.

The bat demon guessed that the deer was either born with a special bloodline or took some rare treasures to change the purity of his body.

Although she has not yet transformed into a form, she has never seen a mortal reindeer that can be so beautiful and pure white, with hair like snow and eyes that are so clear that it does not look like a monster at all, but more like a divine beast raised by immortals on a distant spiritual mountain. .

Deer with such outstanding stature are extremely sought-after, of course it is impossible to sell them as cattle and sheep in the market like this.

Bai Lian was stunned, surprised that Bat Demon could describe Lu'er's body characteristics, he suddenly turned his head and looked at her fixedly, even ignoring that she would change his master with You Ning at some point.

"Have you ever seen a little deer?!"

Seeing that he reacted so excitedly, the bat demon knew that the deer demon held a very important position in his heart.

Thinking of this, she was even more determined that she did not follow the wrong master.

All the monks in the world regard monsters as tools and accessories, but this young man is the only one who really cares about the life and death of his monster pet.

The bat demon didn't dare to hide anything, and hurriedly said: "Seven months ago, I was caught in the siege of the demon trainers, and was transported to a black market in the main city of Zeguo to be sold. That's when I saw Past the snow-white deer that you said, Master.

I vaguely heard the demon trainers say that the deer has pure blood, contains spiritual power, and is a rare treasure of spirit monsters in this world.

The deer was so sought after at the time that it should have been sold seven months ago.Just at that moment, I heard that it was favored by several dignitaries in the imperial court. At that time, the bidding was hard to distinguish, and the price was extremely high.

The demon trainer has always been greedy and only seeks profit, so he saw the value of the deer, so he stopped the auction, and spent a lot of money to invite the Dark Crow Chamber of Commerce to escort him, and quietly sent the deer to the underground dark city of the capital of Zeguo.

The capital of Zeguo is an important military minister and the center of the empire's drama series. The demon trainer released the news of the Linglu, which attracted the attention of these important ministers and dignitaries of the empire. The selling price can naturally be raised to sky-high prices. This opportunity to recruit disciples made a lot of money. "

Bai Lian frowned deeply, and asked, "Underground dark city?"

The bat demon is the oldest, strongest and most knowledgeable monster among this group of monsters.

She went on to explain: "The underground dark city is an underground trading city blocked by an invisible and mysterious dark net force in the world. It is similar to the black market where the three religions and nine streams of human beings gather, but the underground dark city is huge, and the organization behind it is extremely mysterious and powerful. .

According to rumors, the Dark City organization has shady business dealings in the countries of the world and even the Beizhao Kingdom and the Langya Demon Sect on the other side of the endless sea, so they are famous all over the world for taking both black and white.

No one knows who is the master behind the dark city, but there, it is said that as long as you have money, you can buy anything you want.

And it's not just Ze country that has underground dark cities, even Qin, Shu, Zhao, and even many small countries have underground dark cities. "

"The dark city is like countless ants' nests, everywhere and everywhere. So far, no one has been able to know what kind of means the master behind it is able to make the dark city organization so large. Looking at the continents of the world."

Bai Lian listened carefully, looked up at the bat demon, and said, "You just said that as long as you have money, you can buy anything in the underground dark city?"

Bat Demon nodded and said: "Strictly speaking, it is true, even if you are just an ordinary mortal, if you enter the dark city world with huge treasures, even if you want a high-grade spiritual root , and even have channels to provide it.”

Hearing this, Bai Lian was taken aback. The power of this dark city is so powerful? !
It can even easily change the difference between immortals and mortals.

What is spiritual root?The spiritual root is a gift of fate, a blessing from heaven, a miracle that only human beings can produce.

It is not a demon or a spirit that can be conceived. It is a miracle that is destined to be bestowed by God when one of the world's most blessed people is born.

Selling spiritual roots means that the spiritual roots are excavated from the body of a living person.

This underground dark city really lives up to its name, and the activities inside are really a dark transaction.

Speaking of which, Bat Demon looked at Bai Lian for a while, paused, and said hesitantly: "Although the underground dark city can provide you with everything you want, as long as you can pay enough...

But what you want, master, is that little deer. It is a little deer that no ordinary deer can replace. It has been seven months now, and no one can guarantee whether that deer is still in the dark city or whether it has been bought by someone. Walk……"

She spoke very eloquently.

The implication is that if the little deer really went through the underground dark city several times, the end will not be very good.

If a buyer strikes the price bell and takes the deer away, it is very likely that it has been refined into a weapon spirit at this moment.

For a demon possessed by a spirit, its life and even its soul belong to its master, and life and death are hard to change.
