mountains and rivers dream

Chapter 396 Hill
Everyone looked up at the same time and searched in the direction of the sound, but it was too dark in Jinhui City. There were sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling everywhere, and gusts of cold wind swept the sky full of white fog, making it difficult to locate the source.

In a state of anxiety, Yin Rui had already started to make hand gestures as if he was about to cast a spell, but at this moment Xiao Yu suddenly had an idea.

"It seems to be over there!" She used her senses to sniff the mixed scents belonging to Lu Yiran emanating from the surroundings, as well as the only trace of Zhao Yishen's spiritual power mixed in those scents.

At the same time, Yin Rui's magic seemed to be cast, further confirming that the direction Xiao Yu pointed to was correct.

Therefore, after exchanging glances, the three of them immediately moved quickly in that direction.

Xiao Yu was held in Yin Rui's arms. Without wasting her energy, she was able to preserve her remaining spiritual power and try her best to sense where the villain was: "It shouldn't be far away..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yu's face immediately turned as pale as paper, because there was obviously a trace of blood in those auras, and it became stronger in just a blink of an eye.

"What's wrong with you...hiss!!!" Yin Rui on the side immediately noticed that Xiao Yu's face was not right. Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly smelled a gradually strong smell of blood in the air.

"Ranran!" Xiao Yu called out anxiously in his arms.

Without her taking the initiative to suggest it, Yin Rui's pace suddenly quickened, and the faint blue spiritual power on his body seemed to form a thick shell on his body surface, ready for him to use at any time.

Xiao Yu was only holding on to his clothes because of the bumps. The blood vessels on the exposed arm and even on his neck, which were still black, had not had a rest and began to bulge again.

At this moment, a mouthful of black blood suddenly flowed down the corner of her mouth, and her vision became blurred.

There was still a scar on Xiao Yu's nose caused by Cheng Haojun's pipa blade to drain blood, but in a short time, the scar had already healed, and the thickest blood vessels at the scar also began to beat with her anxious heartbeat at this moment.

"Senior brother, Miss Xiaoliu seems to be a little abnormal!" Cheng Haojun noticed Xiao Yu's abnormality out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but exclaimed when he realized that Xiao Yu had changed.

Although Yin Rui was moving as fast as the wind at this time, the sudden trembling of the person in his arms made him stop.

"you……"

But just as he was about to slow down and ask about Xiao Yu's condition, he felt his arms become empty in the blink of an eye. The arm that was originally holding someone was suddenly hanging in the air, causing him to stumble and almost throw himself out.

But Yin Rui's hand was extremely agile, and he stopped his original steps in an instant and finally stopped steadily.

But when he looked up, he saw a white figure rushing towards the direction where Zhao Yishen might be like lightning.

"Don't be impulsive! Be careful not to get carried away!"

Yin Rui's eyes showed an anxious look, and the light in his eyes flashed quickly, as if he was about to catch up with Xiao Yu's figure, fearing that a similar situation would happen again in the barrier. He didn't believe that he could still escape with the other two people like last time.

Besides, it was Xiao Yu who woke up on his own last time.

He could clearly see that Xiao Yu's flying posture was very similar to the running posture of a four-legged beast. At that time, her legs were no longer strong enough to support herself, but the sudden burst of residual black magic allowed her to drag her body and rush over there.

Yin Rui winked at Cheng Haojun, and the two of them once again burst out at unprecedented speed and chased after Xiao Yu.

"Brother, what should I do? I'm afraid if it happens again, my Pipa Blade will be destroyed here..." Cheng Haojun tightly grasped the sticky Pipa Blade in his hand, and the tired eyes on his pale face revealed a trace of despair.

"Nonsense! None of them will be in any trouble! Instead of wasting energy on idle thoughts, it's better to save your strength for future response. There might be something unpredictable ahead..."

As Yin Rui spoke, he quickened his pace once more. His brows were knitted tightly together, and a hint of ruthlessness was revealed in his eyes. He was not looking behind Xiao Yu, but... at a building on a higher ground in the distance...

Through the layers of white fog and the terrifying night, a dark object like a small mountain can still be vaguely seen in the distance...

At this time, Xiao Yu was flying forward quickly as if she didn't care about her life, because she was sure that the road was still ahead!

That place was where she and Lu were separated for the last time when she was pulled into the barrier.

She moved so fast that it seemed as if all the buildings behind her turned into a shadow in an instant and were left behind her. Therefore, it only took her a few breaths to crawl and stagger to the two-story building.

But when she got there, the sight before her almost made her gasp for air. The black blood that had been stuck in her chest from holding her breath while flying gushed out at that moment, and she fell completely onto the worn-out floor tiles.

This original two-story building no longer looks the same as it did before.
At this moment, what Xiao Yu saw was a hill-like thing formed by the bodies of countless dark spirits.

Among those dark spirits, there were old and young, some dressed like officers and soldiers, some like generals, and some even dressed as noble ladies. But no matter what their identities were, they all seemed willing to turn into bricks and tiles of the mountain, and climb towards the top of the mountain one by one.

They seemed to be eager for something. They all raised their heads high, as if they were about to fall down, and seemed to be flocking to the black light on the top of the mountain.

The smell of blood was everywhere. Xiao Yu raised his head with difficulty and supported his body to look towards the top of the hill, but he found Zhao Yishen's figure among the dark spirits on the mountainside.

His blue clothes had lost their original color. For some reason, his body was covered with scratches of varying sizes. The blood not only soaked his clothes, but also stained the bodies of many dark spirits around him, making their originally pale eyes covered with a layer of red.

Although this hill is only as high as a four or five-story building, it seems to be covered with human blood. The blood halfway up the hill belongs to Zhao Yishen, while the blood above the hillside belongs to another person!
After seeing the blood, Xiao Yu's breathing almost stopped. Her vision became a little blurred due to the cold sweat, but she desperately raised her head, trying to find Lu Yiran's small figure.
