Chapter 172: The Power of Stars, the Light of the Big Dipper
"My child! You killed my child!!!"
In front of him, a thin woman in gray clothes stared at Bai Xiao with her eyes fixed. Her face was pale and a little sick, and her eye sockets were sunken. Only a pair of eyes bulged out like a goldfish.
"This is my only child! He was just joking with you, why did you do this to him! Why! Why!!!!!!"
"Give me back my child!"
The woman screamed hysterically, her arms were as thin as bones, and her eyeballs were bulging outwards, almost falling out of their sockets.
"I was joking with him too, don't get so excited."
"If you want it, I'll give it back to you."
Bai Xiao casually grabbed a piece of black impurity that was ejected from the mouth of the black gas giant snake and threw it over. Unexpectedly, the structure of this ash-like impurity was a bit loose, and it turned into sand and blew away halfway.
The child's ashes were all over the woman's face.
"Feel sorry."
Bai Xiao looked at the scene in front of him and said seriously.
“Aaaaaaah!”
The woman went crazy, and her two bloody eyeballs fell out. The entire head changed drastically in a short period of time, like a flesh flower blooming, and the face skin turned into dozens of petals, revealing the terrifying white skull and a sticky black brain.
The man next to him was in a similar situation. The corners of his mouth were widening and finally turned into a hideous mouth like a crocodile.
Jagged and sharp teeth protruded from the flesh.
The mouth opened and closed, making a clicking sound.
"I want you to pay with your life!"
The two monsters, whose true identities were completely exposed, let out shrill roars.
BANG!!!!!!!
Suddenly, before they could rush over to seek revenge on the White Owl, a huge, fiery black shadow appeared behind them, accompanied by a strong wind.
Two large red hands cast from steel opened, their fingers like hydraulic pliers.
Click!
A hand wrapped around a head and slammed it inwards.
Puff!!!
The two ugly faces were squeezed together by a brutal force.
The head was shrunken like a can, blood and mucus gushed out from the cracks. The scary facial features fit together and could not be separated.
Bang!
The two bodies exploded and turned into a ball of thick black gas that gushed out.
“It’s so ugly…”
Bai Xiao slowly withdrew his hands. To be honest, the couple's faces, which were now squeezed into flat surfaces, looked much better than before, comparable to plastic surgery. He was just trying to help out of kindness, so he let the two of them go downstairs to accompany the child.
Soon, wisps of black air were attracted and swirled into the back of the hand.
The skull mark visibly lit up, and it kept getting brighter.
In a short period of time, it has become like a small light bulb.
Bai Xiao took a look in astonishment, feeling the black lines of the sword energy.
"There are so many of more than a hundred fear auras!?"
He was a little confused. After all, the totem colossus's fear core only had more than a hundred fear auras, but the three people in front of him had more than a hundred auras in total? Obviously, the monster that White Owl encountered this time was a little special.
I was able to communicate with him briefly, and he looked like a normal person with logic. But after a few words, he started to go crazy again and showed his true colors. And the changes in his body after death were also different from those of other terrifying creatures.
"Maybe these things can be called weird..."
Bai Xiao opened his palm and took a look at the slightly blackened membrane.
When he just came into contact with the two people, he felt that there seemed to be a special frequency trying to influence him, and some strange energy wanted to invade his body. However, Bai Xiao's blood and physique were too strong, and he easily blocked everything.
"The strange methods are different from those of the terrifying creatures. They seem to be more mental. Manipulation, invasion, parasitism, hallucination? Unfortunately, the power is too weak..."
Bai Xiao brushed off the black ash on his hands and continued to stride forward.
He could feel that as the skull mark accumulated more than a hundred auras of fear, the book-like shadow at his heart position conveyed a sense of desire, as if it could not wait to absorb the power.
Bai Xiao's mind moved slightly, and he immediately released the restraints.
“Clatter…”
There was a faint sound like water gathering in the body. The skull mark on the back of the hand flickered and dimmed quickly, and the tiny black air on the surface also disappeared one by one. Instead, there was a cold and fierce feeling at the heart position, with a gradually condensed extremely fierce aura.
Boom boom boom…
The heart beat vigorously, as if forming an invisible vortex.
The air of fear continued to gather, sank into the vortex, and disappeared without a trace. Bai Xiao's heart was still the same heart, still bright red, but under the special frequency of the deep world, this heart had changed.
It seemed as if a little black ink had dripped onto the heart and was gradually spreading.
More than a hundred auras of fear were completely absorbed.
The heart stained area only reached a small part.
"It seems that a lot of fear is needed to open the Demon Bird Secret Codex."
Bai Xiao narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.
Suddenly, at the end of the alley, he stopped, and quickly turned sideways to hide in the blind spot, with his back pressed against the wall, quietly and motionlessly.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
This alley is located in a residential area, next to which is a gray-black main road with street lights. At this moment, it is shrouded in gray fog, with faint green light from the street lights.
In the fog, a dull sound of footsteps was gradually approaching.
Click!
That was the sound of shoes crushing stones heavily.
Bang bang bang bang...
Suddenly, his pace quickened, as if he had encountered some prey.
Boom!
A black bloodthirsty battle axe fiercely chiseled through the wall on the right side of Bai Xiao. Amid the flying rubble, the sharp axe blade brought a strong wind and killed him.
clang!
Bai Xiao blocked it with one hand, and the collision point caused a huge shock.
"How did you find me?"
He frowned slightly, and suddenly exerted force with his palm, pulling inward with his five fingers like a pair of pliers. With a bang, the wall was directly smashed by a figure wearing metal armor. The figure was extremely agile, and he let go in an instant, pulled out the rusty iron sword at his waist, and turned around.
The iron sword drew a sharp arc in the air and then fell.
There was another clang.
There is no way to break through the defense.
Bang!
The palm that was confronting the iron sword exerted force and the figure retreated back.
Bai Xiao looked at him quietly, sizing him up.
This seemed to be a knight in the city, about 1.9 meters tall, covered in a silver can-like arc armor, thick and heavy. The helmet was a simple cylinder, with only feather-wing-like patterns on the ears. The whole body was tall and strong, mighty and ferocious, with layers of black cloth and silver chain woven inner armor quietly covering the joints.
On the chest, a simple sun symbol is branded.
Below is a star.
"Conquest City, Sun Legion, First Class Sergeant."
Fragments of the totem colossus's memory information flashed through his mind.
I understand. The person in front of me seems to be a low-level officer.
Tick-tick-tick!
The silver tin can rushed over again, quickening its pace, and the iron sword in its hand suddenly swung in a sharp arc at the side of its body, fiercely cutting through the air in front.
"clang!"
Bai Xiao attacked again and collided with the sword blade.
"You actually have the strength close to that of a martial artist?"
He held back with the intention of testing the opponent, wanting to see how strong the opponent was. So in the next few seconds, Bai Xiao attacked repeatedly but only defended and did not attack.
Ding ding ding ding…
After a series of iron-forging sounds, the Silver Knight suddenly raised his hands high, and a ray of blue starlight seemed to flow through the gaps between his body, all condensing on the iron sword. Suddenly, a force at least twice as strong as before burst out, and the sharp sword blade wielded the starlight and slashed heavily at the White Owl.
bite!!!
The starlight shattered and actually caused a small explosion.
Bai Xiao instantly raised his palm and smashed the iron sword, but his eyes became serious.
"What is this? It's a bit like a secret weapon, but not quite."
When he was puzzled, he suddenly punched out, creating a transparent cavity in the air. With a bang, his fist directly exploded the tin can.
Various fragments flew out and scattered all over the ground.
Suddenly, Bai Xiao absorbed some more fear, and the back of his hand glowed slightly.
Just as he was about to leave, the murderous aura in his body moved.
The air whistled out, and a huge phantom of a totem statue spontaneously formed behind the white owl. On the ground, where the silver knight died, a transparent breath flew over, merged into the phantom, and soon disappeared.
The next second, the totem statue disappeared and returned to White Owl's body.
"What is going on..."
He frowned and sensed it carefully, but found nothing unusual.
…
Suppressing all the doubts in his heart, Bai Xiao moved forward again.
All the way to the direction known as the Beidou Temple.
During this period, he encountered some dangers and changes. The main ones were the many soldiers and non-commissioned officers who were walking aimlessly in the city. They were very alert and would rush over to fight with you at the slightest movement. Moreover, each of them was very strong. The weakest one was at the level of a limit breaker, and the strongest one was even a fighter. Bai Xiao saw with his own eyes a team of silver knights composed of fighters walking slowly on the street. It was extremely dangerous.
If he was discovered at that time, he could not guarantee that he would be able to break out of the siege. Because Bai Xiao felt that there seemed to be one or two dangerous guys in this knight team, faintly emitting an astonishing sense of oppression.
Working together could pose a deadly threat to him.
…
“Bang!”
After a fierce fight, the patrol knight fell heavily.
This was a ruined courtyard with one wall collapsed. It was obvious that the two men had just fought on the street and had crashed into the courtyard, leaving the place in ruins.
Bai Xiao took a deep breath and slowly stood up.
He looked down and saw a faint red mark on his body, bleeding slightly.
Perhaps as he left the residential area and got closer to the direction of the Beidou Temple, the terrifying creatures that appeared here became stronger and stronger, and the patrolling silver knights also became stronger and stronger. Five minutes ago, he just encountered a nearly invisible monster that tried to forcibly invade his body. He had to use all his strength to repel and kill the other party. Now, he encountered another second-level sergeant.
The other party has definitely reached the level of a martial artist, possessing some ability similar to a powerful secret weapon, and can unleash amazing power in a short period of time.
"It's getting more and more dangerous..."
Bai Xiao slightly circulated the blood pill, and the warm energy flowed, brushing across his chest again and again. Gradually, the blood mark closed and turned white.
This is the effect of the blood pill level, which has a certain healing ability.
In the courtyard, black air gathered and poured into the skull mark. The black air in the skull mark was then extracted and poured into the heart position bit by bit.
Along the way, he killed many terrifying creatures.
But all added up, only less than one eighth of the heart was dyed black.
The conditions for unlocking the Demon Bird Secret Code require an incredibly large amount of fear!
"Hmm? Why isn't there that invisible aura this time?"
Bai Xiao found that the murderous aura in his body and the totem giant were indifferent, and they did not appear like last time. He thought for a moment, but had no clue, so he put the question aside. He turned his head to look at the courtyard and started walking again.
despair!
As Bai Xiao walked out of the courtyard from the other side gate, he suddenly stopped. In the distance, at the end of the street, there was a tall palace.
“Finally here?!”
He murmured in surprise.
Walking quickly step by step, the scene of the palace came into view.
This is a magnificent palace that is 100 meters high, with densely packed black spires like needles, as if piercing straight into the sky, leading to nowhere. The surface of the palace has Gothic patterns, overlapping, like pieces of strange fish scales. The mysterious and complex religious patterns are glowing slightly.
It can be seen that there is an open square in front of the palace, and at the intersection of the square is a huge arch. The surface of the arch is full of reliefs, revealing a magnificent white and gold color. Especially at the top, there are seven gem-like stars inlaid.
I don’t know if it’s because there is some unknown power in this area.
The large area of hazy gray fog around did not gather around, but instead had a strong sense of boundaries and did not dare to approach the hall at all, making it seem quite safe here.
"This is... the Beidou Holy Temple?"
The white owl stopped, his eyes flickering slightly.
"Are there no guardians around?"
"Could it be that they were all attracted by those giant figures that were attacking the city?"
He felt that this guess was almost right, otherwise where did the axe mark on the head of the giant beast from the gap in the city wall where he came in come from?
Bai Xiao started walking again, step by step.
It was very quiet around me, with only the clattering sound of my own footsteps.
As he approached, he suddenly saw a white stone statue in the square. It was a white angel with his arms around his body, his upper body slightly curled up, and a pair of wings on his back spread out like a cross.
Next to the statue is a huge sword made of stone with words engraved on it.
"The power of the stars, ... the heavens..."
"Light of the Big Dipper, ... fear..."
Bai Xiao recited stumblingly as he stepped through the arch, walked across the square, and even walked up the stairs step by step until he came to a metal gate.
On the facade was an exquisite and solemn angel relief. A slender hand slowly reached out and grabbed a giant sword that was larger than his body.
Take a deep breath.
He stretched out his hands and pushed the door open with force.
squeak……
The metal door opened, and the platinum color inside flowed out like flames.
In the hall, a tall figure stood silently with his back to Bai Xiao.
Click, click, click…
The figure pulled out the cross sword from the ground and turned slowly.
The gorgeous platinum armor on his body shone like a mirror. Lines of terrifying starlight lit up and spiraled upward.
The abnormal momentum, like the roar of mountains and seas, filled up the space.
"Second-level sergeants are only allowed to enter the first and second floors of the temple..."
"If anyone violates this rule, they will be killed without mercy!!!"
This book was the worst time for me to write. I suffered from insomnia for three consecutive days. I felt a pain in my chest when I was writing last night, so I stopped writing. I finally had a good sleep today. Sigh…
