Chapter 211

The deep and distant roar of beasts echoed between heaven and earth, accompanied by the roar of a dragon, as if it had traveled from ancient times, appearing before people and announcing its existence to the world.

Staring blankly at Tao Youyu above the clouds, he felt as if something was tearing at his chest, causing immense pain with every breath. The pain brought him back to his senses, and he realized that he was so shocked that he had forgotten to breathe.

Dragons are creatures that not only have Tao Youyu, who grew up in modern times, seen before, but even Gu Yufei and the others have only seen records of them in some ancient books.

Dragons had already been legendary creatures since ancient times. Not to mention that the people present had never seen one, seriously speaking, even the ancestors of their sect who had lived for who knows how many years might not have seen one.

Above the mountains and deep ravines, between the sea of ​​clouds and the vast sky, the dragon that shuttles through the sea of ​​clouds, every stretched scale tells of an ancient mystery.

No one could get a complete look at the huge creature hidden in the sea of ​​clouds. The corner that was occasionally glimpsed was a scene that could not be described even in epic poetry. It shocked people's hearts and made them unable to doubt the existence of dragons anymore.

When Tao Youyu came to his senses, his first reaction was to run. No matter how majestic or desirable the dragon was described in myths and legends, it was undeniable that it did not belong to the same species as humans. No one could be sure that the dragon was harmless. Once it became hostile to them, no one could guarantee that they could survive from its clutches.

Xie Shuyu couldn't guarantee it either. He held Jiaojiao in his arms, his face heavier than ever. There were complete books in the ghost realm that recorded the existence of dragons. He knew better than anyone what the dragon meant.

Unless the rare old monsters from ancient families take action, no one can stop it, although judging from the scales of the dragon in front of us, it is still a young dragon among the dragon clan.

With such a huge monster above their heads, all the cultivators in Jiutian City were frightened and gripped their weapons tightly, ready to fight or escape at any time.

Tao Youyu, who turned around and tried to escape first, was grabbed by Jin Bingwen by the back of the collar.

"What? Let me go!"

Tao Youyu reached out and slapped Jin Bingwen's hand frantically.

Jin Bingwen was speechless: "Why are you running?"

"Come on, big brother, that's a dragon, it's a dragon, am I going to die if I don't run away?"

Jin Bingwen tutted his words lightly, looking at someone as if they were idiots. "Where are you planning to go by yourself? Where can you go?"

"I'm ready... ready..." Tao Youyu was speechless for a moment. He seemed to really not know where to run. Moreover, with his foundation-building cultivation, it would take him a whole day to get out of the range of Jiutian City, and he really couldn't run far.

If this dragon really attacks them, even if he runs now, with his speed and cultivation level, the chance of him escaping is close to zero. In this case, it is better to follow the protagonist. At least although the protagonist encounters danger every time, he will always be able to turn it into safety.

Thinking of this, Tao Youyu calmed down, pulled his collar out of Jin Bingwen's hand, walked to Gu Yufei's side, and reached out to grab Gu Yufei's sleeve just like Jiaojiao pulled his robe.

"?" Gu Yufei withdrew his gaze from Jiaojiao and looked at Tao Youyu with a puzzled expression: "What's the matter?"

Tao Youyu smiled ingratiatingly: "I'm a little scared."

Gu Yufei was speechless. He pulled his sleeves out of Tao Youyu's hands, but that was not enough, so he took two steps to the side.

Tao Youyu was shocked.

You're obviously not like this when you're facing Jiaojiao?!

Jiaojiao, who was in the arms of father Xie Shuyu, did not feel the slightest bit of fear or nervousness. He looked up at the huge monster in the sky, his dark and clear eyes filled with curiosity.

The dragon is hidden in the rolling sea of ​​clouds, with neither head nor tail visible. Occasionally, what can be seen are the softer and finer black scales on its abdomen.

Fine snow fluttered down from the sky and landed on Jiaojiao's long eyelashes, turning into crystal water droplets in an instant. Jiaojiao blinked his eyes curiously looking at the dragon, and the crystal water droplets rolled down his eyelashes. He seemed to hear some sound and tilted his head slightly, trying to hear more clearly. At the same time, Xie Shuyu's gaze moved away from the dragon and onto the bottomless ravine in the distance.

“Rustle…rustle…rustle…”

Tiny sounds came intermittently from the deep ravine, as if some unknown creature was climbing up quickly in the ravine.

“Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle…”

The sound became louder and louder, and more and more frequent. Gu Yufei, who was standing further back, raised his head and looked towards the deep ravine.

"What are you looking at? Did you hear what I said? If anything happens later, remember to protect me first. Jiaojiao has six fathers, he doesn't need you..." As he spoke, Tao Youyu looked in the direction where Gu Yufei was looking: "Why are you looking at the ravine? What's so interesting... No, what's that sound?"

Tao Youyu's expression changed, and she turned to look at Gu Yufei: "Did you hear that?"

Gu Yufei ignored him and looked at Jin Bingwen again: "Did you hear that?"

Jin Bingwen opened his fan to cover the lower half of his face, his brows furrowed. After hearing his words, he glanced at him: "You heard it all, how could I not hear it?"

Hearing this, Tao Youyu's heart sank. Thinking of the scene where the blue dragon rushed out of the ravine, he couldn't help but wonder if the dragon was forced out by something in the ravine?

He looked up at the huge monster in the sky.

If so, what kind of thing is in this ravine?

Thinking of this, he subconsciously squeezed towards Gu Yufei again. Gu Yufei ignored him, walked forward a few steps, and stopped half a step behind Xie Shuyu's right. He put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, his whole body tensed, in a protective posture.

"Brother Yu Fei."

Hearing the footsteps, Jiaojiao turned around and lay on her father's shoulder, stretching out her little paws to greet him.

Gu Yufei responded softly and handed Jiaojiao something wrapped in oil paper.

Jiaojiao took it and opened it. Inside was a red and crystal clear candied haws. He couldn't help but curl his eyes: "Thank you, Brother Yu Fei."

Gu Yufei's mouth corners slightly raised.

"No way, it's already this time and you're still here to coax a child." Tao Youyu, who followed, couldn't help but complain, and casually took out a bag of things from the storage bag and stuffed it into Jiaojiao's arms.

Jiaojiao took it and opened it. Inside were six chestnut cakes neatly arranged. She immediately smiled with joy: "Thank you, Brother Youyu."

Tao Youyu hummed with satisfaction, glanced at Gu Yufei, and reached out to rub Jiaojiao's furry head. After meeting Xie Shuyu's gaze, he silently retracted his claws and silently shouted in his heart, this is someone else's cub, you can't pet it casually!

Seeing him retract his claws, Xie Shuyu lowered his eyes, touched Jiaojiao's head and said, "Put it away and eat it later."

"Yeah." Jiaojiao nodded obediently and put the two oil-paper bags in his hands back into his collar. He heard the rustling sound coming from the distance getting louder and louder. He couldn't help but look up. Suddenly, he blinked and pointed his little hand in front of him: "Daddy, it seems like something is moving over there?"

Tao Youyu, who was standing aside, heard the words and looked in the direction that Jiaojiao pointed. Sure enough, he saw something moving at the edge of the ravine. He took two steps forward to see more clearly. The next second, he saw densely packed things like large dogs crawling out from the edge of the ravine, crawling towards Jiutian City as fast as strange species.

The creature was hairless and as black as a burnt corpse. It ran on all fours at an extremely fast speed. Its dark red eyes were particularly conspicuous in the darkness. The corners of its mouth were cracked to the corners of its eyes, and six pairs of fangs were exposed, interlaced, with saliva dripping from them.

"What... is that..." Tao Youyu was so shocked that he was speechless.

"It looks like... a monkey?!" Jin Bingwen, who had walked over at some point, said uncertainly.

Tao Youyu instinctively retorted: "Your monkey has no hair, and yet it looks like this?"

After he finished speaking, he moved sideways two steps to block Jiaojiao's sight. This thing is not suitable for children to watch, and children will have nightmares if they see it.

Xie Shuyu raised his hand to cover Jiaojiao's eyes and looked at Tao Youyu's figure blocking his way. He couldn't help but look down at Jiaojiao with a faint smile in his eyes. The little guy was quite adorable.

In the ravine in the distance, more and more strange monsters crawled out, and in a blink of an eye, they covered the sky and surged towards Jiutian City like a tide.

Those monsters didn't even turn around and ran straight towards the Jiutian City whose walls had collapsed. Tao Youyu frowned as he watched this scene. His gaze met their dark red eyes, and the disgust in his eyes instantly turned into astonishment, and then his gaze became a little unfocused.

He could feel the blood in his body suddenly boiling, his heart pounding, the restless blood cheering in joy, and rustling sounds kept ringing in his mind, urging him to get closer to it.

Tao Youyu's eyes became increasingly blurred, and he subconsciously raised his foot and took a step forward.

"Brother Youyu." Jiaojiao suddenly had a bad feeling as he looked at his back. He subconsciously leaned out half of his body from his father's arms and reached out to grab Tao Youyu's robe: "Brother Youyu, where are you going?"

The pulling force from his sleeves brought Tao Youyu back to his senses instantly. He saw his steps forward, and the hairs on his body instantly stood up. A sharp explosion sounded in his mind: "System, why didn't you remind me! !"

Su Cang: "I reminded you, but you seem unable to hear me."

"Brother Youyu, your hair is disheveled." Jiaojiao tugged at his sleeve.

Tao Youyu, feeling nauseous, raised his hand to tame his frizzy hair, then turned to look at Jiaojiao with tears in his eyes: "Jiaojiao, brother, I really love you to death."

If Xie Shuyu hadn't been holding Jiaojiao in his arms, he would have hugged Jiaojiao and kissed her to death.

The strange monster was very fast and rushed to the front of Jiutian City in a blink of an eye. It was about to rush into Jiutian City. Just as Xie Shuyu was about to make a move, the densely packed and countless strange things were instantly blown away.

Huo Youqi and his companions came out from the deep ravine and came to the front. Behind them, monkeys that looked like they had been skinned were falling from a high altitude in large numbers. Sharp screams came from their throats, making people dizzy.

"Daddy!" Jiaojiao shouted happily when she saw Huo Youyou and the others, not affected by the sharp roars of the monsters at all.

Hesniemen, who noticed this, paused in his move to block Jiaojiao's hearing, replied with a soft "hmm", walked forward and reached out to take Jiaojiao from Xie Shuyu's arms, but found that Xie Shuyu was holding Jiaojiao with no sign of letting go.

Hesnemen paused and looked up at him. With his spiritual consciousness covering Jiaojiao, he naturally knew that Jiaojiao had two fathers again.

Xie Shuyu also raised his eyes and looked at him indifferently.

Hostility spread between the two of them, their gazes became sharper, and the hostility in their hearts reached a critical point, but just when it was about to explode, it stopped abruptly.

Xie Shuyu looked down at Jiaojiao's hands that were resting on his chest, his eyes mingled with helplessness.

Jiaojiao, who was held in his arms, put her hands on his and Hesniemen's chests respectively, and said in a childish and anxious voice: "No fighting, Daddy doesn't fight."

Hesniemen reached out and poked his chubby face, stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth, and said with a bit of helplessness: "Okay, no need to fight, don't worry."

The sweet taste spread from her mouth. Before Jiaojiao, who had candy in her mouth, could say anything, she noticed the abrasion on the base of Hesnemen's hand with her sharp eyes.

Jiaojiao pulled his hand over and looked at it closely, frowned, lowered her head and took out the ointment from her collar, carefully dipped her hand in the ointment, and applied it carefully to the abrasion.

When Jiaojiao's hand touched the wound on Hesnemen's hand, the blue whale hidden in his sea of ​​consciousness suddenly opened its eyes for a second, but closed them weakly in the next second.

Jiaojiao, who didn't notice, was lowering her head and carefully applying the ointment while blowing on the wound with her cheeks puffed out. She accidentally blew the candy in her mouth out.

Jiaojiao blinked in confusion, and after coming to her senses, she smacked her lips regretfully.

Hesnemen smiled, his eyes slightly curved, then turned to look at the things behind him that knew no fear, were not afraid of life or death, and were continuously pouring towards Jiutian City.

This matter is a bit troublesome. These strange creatures themselves will not cause any harm, but the trouble is that they carry the aura of death!

Dead air, something that only exists in ancient books, has another name, called evil karma.

Once infected, no matter how high or low one's cultivation level is, the spiritual energy in the body will be continuously corroded. Wounds contaminated by the death energy are difficult to heal and will continue to deteriorate until death.

As of now, there is no way to cure the death energy in the Canglan Realm, otherwise the injury on his hand would not have been left until now and discovered by Jiaojiao.

The death energy originally existed in the ghost realm, bound within the life monument, recording the evil deeds of all things to be settled during reincarnation. However, thousands of years ago, the extraterritorial demon destroyed the life monument, causing the death energy to overflow and causing a catastrophe. The death energy became more and more intense, covering the entire Canglan Realm.

There has been no death energy in the Canglan Realm for thousands of years, all thanks to the hundreds of thousands of cultivators at the top of their cultivation at that time who used their bodies as a formation to expel the death energy and the extraterritorial demons and suppress them outside Canglan.

A few months ago, there was turmoil in the Wuji Sea of ​​Xizhou, and the seal of the Death Zone loosened. The leader of the righteous path, Feng Beicheng, led the Taixuan Sect and others to suppress it.

There are seven places to suppress and seal off the extraterritorial demons, corresponding to the Big Dipper. The sealing formations seem to be independent of each other, but they are closely related. One move can affect the whole body. The seal of the Infinite Sea is unstable, and the other seals are also shaken. Now it seems that one of the seals has loosened, causing the death energy to overflow.

The Hesnie Sect has never been concerned about the sect's news. They had only heard about the so-called extraterritorial demon once and only knew a general idea about it. They did not know the specific blockade location, so they did not think of it at the first time.

It now seems that these seven blockaded areas are the forest of beasts!

To solve this problem, we must first cut off the source, and then deal with these lowest-level extraterritorial demons. At present, it seems that the seal is not loosened very much, and only these less troublesome small demons have escaped.

Thinking of this, Hesniemen rubbed Jiaojiao's head, took him out of Xie Shuyu's arms and put him in Huo Youqi's arms, then looked up at Xie Shuyu.

If there is anyone in the Canglan Realm who can deal with the death energy, it is only Xie Shuyu, the lord of the ghost realm.

Xie Shuyu did not shirk this matter. He glanced at the dragon in the sky that seemed to be waiting for something. Thoughts flashed through his eyes, and he suddenly remembered that he had heard that the Demon King had the blood of an ancient dragon. At that time, he thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems to be true.

He took out a bag of pine nut candies from the storage jade pendant and placed them in Jiaojiao's hand: "You can only eat two, no more."

Knowing that the fathers were going to work, Jiaojiao was a little worried. Holding the pine nut candy, she puffed her cheeks and looked at them eagerly: "Can't Jiaojiao go with us?"

Cloveford, who had come over at some point, bent his finger and poked the leak out of him: "No."

Jiaojiao wrinkled her nose and compromised weakly: "Then the fathers should come back soon."

Hesnemen smiled and touched his head: "Well, it won't be long."

His attention was on Jiaojiao, and when he withdrew his hand, he did not notice that the slight scratch on his hand had healed.

This door is a bit irritating, I have to get rid of it sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Xie Shuyu turned around, took a step forward, and was already thousands of miles away.

The dragon hidden in the sea of ​​clouds began to cruise after Hesniemen and the others left. Before leaving, it turned back slightly, and its huge eyes moved, falling on Jiaojiao in Huo Youqi's arms through the heavy clouds.

As if she sensed something, Jiaojiao, who was in Huo Youqi's arms, looked up.

He still couldn't see the whole appearance of the Canglong. He only vaguely saw the behemoth in the sea of ​​clouds swimming towards the direction where his father and the others left. In a blink of an eye, he could only vaguely see its shadow.

Hesnemen and the others headed towards the source, while the countless little demons that covered the sky had to be dealt with by the cultivators of Jiutian City on their own.

The sharp sword energy expanded outward with Jiutian City as the center, and in a blink of an eye, it cut the demon in half when it rushed up again.

In the distance, there are endless demons crawling out from the deep ravine. It is hard to imagine how many demons are hidden in it. It gives people the illusion that if they are left alone, they will fill up the entire Jiutian City with numbers and bury it alive.

The Lord of Jiutian City appeared in the sky above, his eyes fierce, holding the Jiuyuan Sword, and shouted: "Set up the formation!"

The monks knew some basic formations. With a loud shout from the Lord of Jiutian City, thousands of monks moved and changed positions at the same time, standing at the designated positions to cast spells and activate the formation.

"punish!"

In an instant, a sea of ​​fire rose from the ground.
