Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 396 Riding on the 'little horse' Pearl!
You Su endured the severe pain of his body being torn apart, and stared firmly at Bai Ze's eyes which were gradually regaining clarity.

He knew very well that this was a desperate gamble, and only by using himself as bait could he save Bai Ze from being controlled by the evil spirit.

"Bai Ze, wake up!"

You Su's voice trembled with pain, but he still tried to penetrate the pervasive atmosphere of blood and evil.

Bai Ze's consciousness struggled in the chaos, You Su's blood flowed into its mouth, and it seemed that a mysterious and hot power was surging in its body.

Instantly, a strange light flashed in Bai Ze's eyes. What helped it drive away those evil bloodlines was not its strong will, but the blood of God flowing in You Su's body.

You Su knew very well that most of the plots in the storybooks that used words to wake up people controlled by evil spirits were unrealistic, so in order to save Bai Ze as soon as possible, he needed a more efficient and effective method! It was also the only method he could think of in a short period of time!

Previously, he had only used his vassal power on humans. This was the first time he had used it on a beast. He just hoped it would really work. Fortunately, he could clearly sense that the soul bond between him and Bai Ze, which was strong enough to overcome all the control of evil spirits, was growing wildly. He was relieved, but also felt a deeper sense of guilt. Because this was the true spirit of the snow mountain nurtured by heaven and earth, but he turned it into evil.

However, at this moment, there was no time to indulge in this faint relief and guilt - You Su turned around suddenly, and happened to meet the eyes of that huge pupil!

The huge evil eye seemed to see through everything, and the surging sense of oppression pressed towards him like a tidal wave.

In the dark and crimson world, countless blood vessels hanging from the eyeballs were baring their fangs and waving their claws, like ferocious, mad snakes.

Bai Ze slowly woke up at this time, the remaining blood red in his eyes completely faded, and he regained his former agility and clarity. He shouted in a daze:
“Ding Zhen…”

You Su felt warm in his heart when he heard the call, but there was no time to reminisce. He was anxious and looked up at the huge eye hanging high like a blood moon. The bloodshot was already rushing towards him!

He yelled, "Run!"

Then he grabbed Bai Ze's neck and pretended to take it away from this dangerous place.

However, Bai Ze was still in the midst of a roller coaster of emotions and hadn't recovered yet, so You Su couldn't pull the huge Bai Ze at all.

At this moment, the giant eye's attack came one after another in the blink of an eye! Several blood lines were like dense arrows, cutting through the dark space and shooting with a chilling whistling sound.

You Su reacted extremely quickly, his figure flashed like a ghost, and at the same time he drew out the Mosong Sword. A sharp sword energy instantly burst out from the sword, trying to resist these attacks that followed him like a shadow.

However, the range covered by these blood lines even exceeded the reach of his sword energy. Seeing that these blood lines bypassed him and were about to rush to Bai Ze, who had not yet figured out the situation, he had no choice but to fly forward and block them with his body.

"Puff puff."

It was like the sound of a sharp arrow piercing flesh. You Su's body was pierced by the blood lines in many places, his skin was torn and blood was gushing out. The splattered blood fell on Bai Ze's face.

Bai Ze's pupils shrank, and it didn't come back to its senses until it saw You Su's miserable condition in front of it.

"You...why are you here too..."

You Su was hung in the air by the blood line controlled by the giant eye. He groaned in pain, but still gritted his teeth and answered with his tenacious will:

"Stupid cat, I'm here to find my pearls..."

Bai Ze's eyes sparkled and the huge tiger head trembled slightly.

It actually doesn't know what Pearl is, it just thinks the name sounds nice. You Su used to joke with it, saying Pearl means "really a pig", so that it wouldn't remember Ding Zhen and Pearl, two names he made up casually.

It was secretly sad for a long time, but later it asked Taoist Hua and found out that pearls are very valuable, implying treasures worth cherishing. Therefore, the nice name given by You Su added a more special meaning, and it decided to be called Pearl from now on. Taoist Hua, who was still complaining about the old-fashioned name, scratched the neck angrily.

That's why it was so sad after You Su made it clear that he didn't like the name Ding Zhen.

But now it understands that he just doesn't like himself calling him Ding Zhen, and he really regards himself as a pearl. This is not just a name, but a treasure worth cherishing.

"Run..."

Blood was gushing out of You Su's mouth as he murmured softly. More and more blood lines were running through his body.

Bai Ze clearly recalled the feeling of almost biting You Su to pieces. At this moment, he no longer cared about You Su's wrong accusation against him.

It did not listen to You Su's order, but roared at the giant eye hanging in the sky, the sound seemed to pierce the clouds and split the rocks. Then it suddenly ran behind You Su, bit off all the blood lines, and then carefully held You Su in its mouth, fearing that it would hurt him.

At this moment, You Su was indeed extremely weak. The continuous use of Shadow Flow Technique before had put him in a weak state, and now he was seriously injured. There were countless holes on his body, causing his eyelids to droop slightly.

The dancing blood line chased after him relentlessly, while Bai Ze held You Su in his mouth and rushed left and right in the darkness. The surrounding space seemed to be distorted by the power of the giant eye, and sometimes huge rocks fell from the top of the cave, and sometimes the ground suddenly cracked, and red blood vessels as thick as towering trees emerged from it.

The situation was extremely dangerous. Just when Bai Ze was about to step on empty air, a piece of crystal clear ice suddenly appeared under Bai Ze's front hooves, allowing it to stabilize its body and cross the cliff-like crack.

You Su was surprised to find that Bai Ze was emitting a layer of pure white fluorescence - it had actually recovered its Xuan Qi! It was no longer the white tiger that could only rely on its physical body!
But they still couldn't shake off the giant eye's pursuit, as if it was endless and would chase them to the end of the world.

Bai Ze became more and more impatient. Even though he was agile and fast, he had been running in this strange space for a long time, but he still couldn't get rid of the pursuit of the giant blood line. He was gradually running out of energy. He was panting heavily, and the fluorescence on his body was dimmed. His evasive movements became more thrilling.

You Su was lying in Bai Ze's mouth, equally anxious. If this continued, they would not be able to escape the clutches of this giant eye.

With Bai Ze's speed, he should have run a long way after running for such a long time. According to common sense, no matter how powerful the evil spirit is, its power should have an end. But how could the blood line of this giant eye cross such a long distance and chase after it like a shadow?
Could this be an illusory space? !
But You Su felt that something was wrong, he could feel that all this was real, and that giant eye had no ability to bewitch anyone at all, it was clearly an evil spirit of flesh and blood.

What's going on...

Just when he was anxious, he was surprised to find a piece of ice brick extending from the edge of the cliff in the middle of the rift in front of him!
This was clearly the first piece of ice that made him discover that Bai Ze had recovered his Xuan Qi!

He forced himself to turn over in Bai Ze's mouth despite the severe pain, and quickly looked back, and soon his guess was confirmed.

Even though they ran desperately and seemed to be far away from the giant eye, the size of the giant eye in their field of vision did not change at all.

They have been circling around this giant eye! "Bai Ze! We have been circling! Run straight!" You Su shouted loudly, enduring the pain.

Bai Ze heard You Su's reminder, dodging the blood line while panting and responding:

"I, I'm just running straight!"

Because it was holding You Su in its mouth, it spoke hesitantly like a big tongue, and its tone even had a hint of complaint, as if saying that You Su wanted to blame it wrongly again.

You Su was surprised when he heard this. He also knew that Bai Ze was the spirit of the snow mountain and was very comfortable in the snow. But the snow was pure white, so the sense of direction should be one of Bai Ze's innate talents. So it is impossible for it to run a corner but claim to be walking in a straight line...

Illusion? Restriction? What on earth is making us go in circles?!

You Suqiang pulled himself together, pulling out the remaining broken blood lines on his body, and commanded:

"I know you're running forward! But we've been turning left! Now run to the right wherever you feel like!"

Bai Ze believed in You Su's instructions without a doubt. It quickly turned around and ran towards what it thought was the right direction.

However, since they were turning left, the bloodshot that seemed to be chasing them were not actually directly behind them, but behind them to the right!

If Bai Ze wants to run to the right, he must pass through these blood-thread nets that follow him like a shadow!
Bai Ze mustered up his courage and faced the dense blood threads head-on. He used all his strength and nimbly dodged most of the blood threads' attacks with the help of his recovered strength.

However, the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly. After all, it had just recovered some of its mysterious Qi. Even though Bai Ze tried his best, he was accidentally tripped by a cunning blood thread.

With a "thump", Bai Ze's huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and You Su was spit out by it in time, so he was not crushed by its sharp teeth. But You Su also fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust, and rolled several times before stopping.

Bai Ze was filled with guilt, his eyes reddened, and he tore the blood thread that had tripped him just now as a way to vent his anger, then he opened his mouth and roared, and icy blue air gushed out of his mouth, which actually condensed into a fragile ice barrier, temporarily blocking the surging tide of blood.

In order to avoid being hit on the head, You Su twisted his body and landed on his knees. However, the impact was too great, causing his lower legs to become numb and unable to respond, so he could not stand up.

Seeing You Su hammering his legs anxiously and fearlessly, Bai Ze couldn't stop crying any longer. Tears rolled down his cheeks along with the blood You Su had left on his face. He murmured in a trembling voice:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...it's all my fault...I'm useless Bai Ze!"

"I don't deserve to be called a divine beast... What those people said is all lies! I don't understand the nature of all things, nor do I know anything about ghosts and gods! I can't do anything except talking!"

You Su stopped pounding his legs. He turned his head, his face as pale as paper. Although his face was unrecognizable and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, his eyes were extremely firm.

He dragged his broken legs to the side of Bai Ze's drooping animal head, reached out and gently stroked its head, his voice more gentle than ever before:
"No, what they say is true. Do you know why?"

Bai Ze slowly raised his eyes and said in a trembling voice:

“W-why…?”

You Su paused, took a deep breath, and spoke in a firm and powerful voice:
"Because I know who the saint is. If there is a saint in this world, it can only be me!"

"An ancient book says, 'A saint has virtue, and his light shines far away, and Bai Ze will come'! And I have only met you, a Bai Ze! So our meeting is by no means accidental, but destined! I am extremely fortunate that you are the one who was born to accompany the saint! Now... I need your help! Let's go kill this evil spirit together!"

Bai Ze stared blankly at You Su's dark eyes. You Su's words seemed to inject an inexplicable power into his body, instantly dispelling the haze in Bai Ze's heart.

It felt an unprecedented trust and encouragement, as if all the fatigue and fear in its body were swept away by this power. It regained its spirit, and the blazing fire of fighting spirit rekindled in its eyes!

"Um!!"

The child's voice is tender, yet exceptionally firm.

It picked up You Su and then turned its head as much as it could so that You Su could climb onto its back along its head.

You Su grabbed the silky hair on Bai Ze's back and pulled hard, then he flew onto Bai Ze's back just right.

Although he had done it many times, You Su had never ridden Bai Ze, because he knew very well that this silly cat also had his own persistence. But now, it took the initiative to send You Su to its back!
From the moment he first saw Bai Ze, You Su was deeply shocked by the beauty of this half-deer, half-tiger beast. Although its fur was gray and its eyes were dull, You Su was still amazed by it at first sight - because even when it was thin and haggard, it still possessed a breathtaking elegance.

This is due to its extremely smooth back lines. The undulating back is like the softest clouds in the sky or the most winding streams in the mountains. Every arc reveals the most exquisite handwriting of nature.

In Beiaozhou, the image of Bai Ze is profound and sacred. In this barren land that longs for redemption, in the stories related to saints and Bai Ze, Bai Ze always exists as a mentor and helpful friend to the saints.

But in reality outside the story, You Su became the first person to use Bai Ze as a mount!

You Su pulled out the last three broken blood lines on his side abdomen, and became more certain of his thoughts.

Without exception, they penetrated his body from the front and became dead after breaking. But now, after becoming limp, the heads with suction cups seemed alive, and all of them were facing left!

This obviously doesn't make sense! The only explanation is that something is pulling them to the left!

Cracks have appeared in the ice barrier. Bai Ze stamped his hooves anxiously, urging You Su on his back to point him in the right direction.

You Su pulled the long fur on Bai Ze's left shoulder and said in a deep voice:
"This space is twisting to the left! It's all because of that giant eye! So we have to run further to the left! We have to follow its power and go back, and then--"

The ice barrier shattered, and the tide of blood behind him came again.

"Kill Him by His power!"

Bai Ze suddenly exerted force with its front hooves, the muscles in its strong legs tensed, and its front body leaped high up. Its posture was elegant and full of power. It raised its head and howled, the sound of which was clear, passionate and echoing.

Immediately, it kicked its hind legs hard, and a silver trail whizzed past!

One man and one beast charged towards the giant eye like an arrow!
