Chapter 39
He opened his mouth and a suction force fell on us. Thousands of blue threads pierced into our bodies. I felt my life force was quickly disappearing.
The Feather Stone sensed my danger and unleashed its full energy, sending a vast, majestic aura surging around me. This aura, truly the nemesis of all evil, managed to sever the blue line even against such powerful demonic force. However, it proved to be a drop in the bucket. Due to insufficient energy and my own mana being no match for the demonic force, the stalemate lasted only a moment before dissipating.
Seeing that Yuhao Stone was so helpless, I closed my eyes and waited quietly for death to come.
An ancient tone came from the darkness. The tone was mysterious and profound. Although I didn't know what it meant, I could feel a vast power contained in the tone.
The monster in front of us immediately stopped absorbing our vitality when he heard the tone, and turned to look towards the direction where the sound came from. His figure suddenly disappeared from the spot and followed the sound.
"Let's go!" said Master Zhang.
I struggled to get up from the ground, grabbed Qingyun, and ran down the mountain. Zhao Danxi followed me, holding Master Zhang. Liu Danchen glanced at Li Danyang in the distance and ran towards him.
We almost forgot about Li Danyang!
Liu Danchen carried Li Danyang on his back and quickly caught up with us. We ran forward in a panic, but after running for a long time, we realized that we were lost. Getting lost here is no different from being dead. No one knows when the demon will catch up.
We can't stop, we can only keep moving in one direction.
After running for a long time, our injured bodies finally couldn't hold on any longer and we all sat on the ground to rest.
Master Zhang ignored himself and stepped forward to check Li Danyang's injuries.
Li Danyang, who was already dying, had his vitality absorbed by the goblin in the previous battle, and now he was hanging on by only one breath.
"Oh!" Master Zhang sighed.
"Master, senior brother..." Liu Danchen asked.
Master Zhang shook his head.
Seeing Master Zhang like this, I couldn't help but feel sad. The last time I saw Li Danyang at Baiyun Temple, he was still full of energy. I didn't expect that when we met again, we would be separated by life and death.
There is no time to be sad. After a short rest, we set off again.
Liu Danchen and Zhao Danxi took turns carrying Li Danyang, while I supported Master Zhang.
I had no idea how long I had been walking, but I still couldn't see a way out. The trees were so dense here that I couldn't tell which way was which.
Just as we were sighing, Qingyun suddenly shouted, "There's a house there!"
We looked in the direction he pointed and saw a building there, but it was hidden behind the trees and could not be seen at all if we had poor eyesight.
It is strange to have a house in this deep forest, not to mention there are two powerful goblins in the mountain.
"Let me go in and take a look first!" I said.
As I approached the house, it felt familiar. I pushed open the door, and dust was everywhere. I fanned it away. It looked like no one had been in the house for ages. Who would come here?
"Come in, there's nothing inside." I said, standing at the door.
Master Zhang and the others supported each other as they walked into the house and also observed the environment there.
I closed the door and decided we might have to spend the night here.
Just as I closed the door, I suddenly felt dazed.
"Did you feel anything unusual?"
They looked at me, obviously feeling the same way I did.
I looked at the furnishings in the house, the familiar long bench, and the two tables inside. Putting them together, wasn't this the same Huiyang Inn where I met the hanged ghost on Zhayang Mountain?
"Master, do you think this looks like the Huiyang Inn?" I said uncertainly.
After hearing what I said, they also looked at the environment in the house.
"Yes, I remember you were sitting here and choked." Zhao Danxi said, pointing to the square table in front of him.
When I heard him say that, I knew it seemed like I wasn't the only one who felt alike.
An absurd idea came into my mind.
I hurriedly opened the door, and the scene outside shocked me. The roots of the tall spruce trees were clearly visible, and there were even traces of my fight that night on the ground. Isn't this the outside of the Huiyang Inn? I turned my head and looked at my feet. There was the ashes of the straw rope I burned two days ago!
They also noticed something was wrong with me, and Zhao Danxi couldn't help but ask me, "What's wrong with you?"
I was completely shocked and speechless, just staring at the pile of ashes.
Seeing that I didn't say anything and kept looking at the ground, Zhao Danxi followed my gaze. When he found the ashes, he ran to the door in panic and looked outside. Then, like me, he stood at the door in a daze with a look of shock on his face.
After all, he is older than me and has a better digestive ability. Under the gaze of Master Zhang and others, he said dryly: "Master, we are now... seem to be... Huiyang Inn." He swallowed, obviously not sure what was going on.
When Master Zhang and others heard what he said, they all came to the door and looked out the window. Although the spruce trees outside were tall, they were not ancient trees like the ones on Broken Soul Mountain. Moreover, the environment of Shading Mountain was completely different from that of Broken Soul Mountain, and they could be recognized at a glance.
We escaped inexplicably, in an incredible way.
Sitting on the stool, I couldn't calm down for a long time. This was obviously beyond my understanding. But then, a feeling of surviving a disaster emerged in my heart.
After everyone had digested it, Zhao Danxi said, "Should we not die?"
That’s right, what he said was that you don’t have to die.
This is what I thought too. When I faced that goblin, I really felt that death was at hand.
After the ecstasy, I asked, "Master, what kind of demon is that that is so powerful?"
When everyone heard me mention that goblin, they were still frightened.
"That's the Demon King." Master Zhang said slowly.
Demon King.
Unfamiliar vocabulary.
Yet it made me feel so powerful.
I remember when I was a kid, I almost lost when dealing with a little pine monster. The monster king I met this time was completely different from the pine monster.
Seeing that our eyes were focused on him, Master Zhang slowly spoke again: "I miscalculated this time. I didn't expect that there would be a demon king on Broken Soul Mountain."
Actually, this cannot be blamed on Master Zhang. After all, the Demon King is very rare. If I hadn’t encountered it this time, I wouldn’t even know that there is such a thing as the Demon King in the world.
After resting for a while, we didn’t dare to delay and hurried out of Huiyang Inn. Now we only wanted to return to Baiyun Temple.
Walking in the familiar spruce forest, the air becomes fresh.
After this incident, I realized that my strength is really insignificant. Not to mention Master Zhang, even the female demon is much stronger than me, not to mention the Demon King. It seems that I need to concentrate on practicing for a while and work hard to improve myself.
Baiyun Temple.
When these three words appeared in front of me, I knew I was really safe now.
