Chapter 31: Strange Things at Night



I looked at the meat in my hand. It was too dry. I couldn't chew it! It's typical to eat meat for five minutes and pick your teeth for two hours. But after all, it was a gift from someone else, so I still ate it.

Xia Xiao looked at the fire and started biting.

I chewed for a long time and my jaw was sore, but at least I filled my stomach. When you are out, safety comes first. Take care of your stomach as much as possible. It is best to take care of nature.

The fiery clouds in the sky drew back the curtain of night, and all around was quiet. Xia Xiao pulled his clothes, covered himself and Shu Shuang with them, and slowly fell asleep.

Normally, Xia Xiao couldn't sleep in such a dangerous place, but with Shu Shuang by his side, he felt an inexplicable sense of security. Xia Xiao thought it was a psychological effect and didn't think much about it. It was better to have someone to rely on than to be alone. After all, humans are social animals.

Gradually, Xia Xiao's perception of his surroundings became clearer and somewhat magical.

There was a mountain in the distance, a jungle nearby, and the plain covered with weeds was extremely vast, with only two trees behind Xia Xiao. They were like unique existences, and also like two targets, providing the enemy with precise strike positions.

A strange melody echoed in Xia Xiao's mind, like a warning, or a sign of danger. This feeling became stronger and stronger, causing Xia Xiao to suddenly open his eyes.

Shu Shuang beside him had fallen asleep, but Xia Xiao had a feeling that he was being watched, and the long-term vigilance made him feel uneasy.

How long had he slept? Xia Xiao didn't know, but judging by the burning of the wooden board, it should have been more than two hours, but the stars and the moon that had existed in the sky were gone, and there was only darkness. The firewood in the fire was sufficient, but the flames were restrained, and it was impossible to detect what was hidden in those dark places.

Xia Xiao stared at one place for a long time, and the latter also stared at him, as if it was a long tug-of-war. There was something inside, Xia Xiao was sure, he felt that the evil creature was spying on his living life. Is it a wild beast? It is definitely not a wild beast, but how strong can the wild beast be to cover the starry sky and the moon?

Suddenly, something flashed out of the darkness, shocking Xia Xiao so much that he clenched his fists and his vitality surged. But it didn't come this way, he seemed to be waiting, as if afraid of something.

Shu Shuang woke up, looked at Xia Xiao squatting on the ground, and blinked her sleepy eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"There are enemies."

Shu Shuang looked around and found nothing, but suddenly, a sense of fear came over her. It was the smell of death and an indescribable threat. That feeling made Shu Shuang extremely disgusted, as if she had met a destined enemy. With murderous intent, Shu Shuang instantly threw away the kindness of the Zou Shou Church and wanted only to destroy it.

She blinked, what happened to her? As far as Shu Shuang could remember, she had never felt this way before. This was not a simple matter!

Glancing at the people who were still sleeping, Shu Shuang said to Xia Xiao who had taken out a machete from his backpack:

"We need to get out of here."

"Um!"

As soon as he finished speaking, six horses neighed startlingly, startling everyone and spreading across the empty grassland.

The three-year-old child began to cry, and no matter how he was comforted, it was useless. The grassland, which was previously quiet, suddenly changed its appearance.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

The man named Ding Qiang was a little confused when he saw Xia Xiao quickly removing the bandage on the knife, but the latter had a serious expression, as if facing a great enemy.

"If you want to live, stay here and don't move!"

After saying that, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang quickly wrapped two torches with cloth strips and walked into the darkness.

The horse was still neighing. Ding Qiang didn't know what was going on, so he just hurriedly called out to his three brothers.

"Hurry and tie up the horse."

The six horses moved like crazy, trying to break free from the reins, as if they would surely die if they stayed there. Their eyes were filled with fear, as if they had seen something horrible, but they were tied up by Ding Qiang and his four men, unable to escape.

Looking in Xia Xiao's direction, Ding Qiang scratched his head, a little curious.

"What's going on?"

"Brother, this is a remote place, maybe it's a ghost causing trouble."

When Ding Qiang heard this, his scalp went numb.

"Don't talk nonsense! Stop talking nonsense!"

A slap on the head caused the man to feel aggrieved.

"Brother, the night is already full of troubles, and horses can see things that we can't! Let's go!"

"Go? Where to? The horses are so scared, are you going to run? How fast do you think you can run?"

Ding Qiang cursed for a while, and the man nodded. That was right, he should just stay here. Ding Qiang pulled out a knife, and the woman screamed in shock.

"What are you screaming about?"

Ding Qiang looked at the honest man with disgust on his face and snorted.

"Take care of your woman!"

The honest man felt a little embarrassed and hugged his wife and two children.

"Everyone draw your swords, be careful, there are no ghosts, they are just people scaring people!"

Ding Qiang licked his dry lips. He had been around for so many years, what had he not seen? But when he glanced at the darkness, it was indeed a bit strange, but he didn't know why. It was probably just a psychological effect.

The sky and earth were dark, and the two torches were burning weakly, with the sparks flickering and looking like they would go out at any moment. Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang stood back to back, slowly walking away from the two trees.

The guy in the dark stared at Xia Xiao eagerly, passing through the bushes without making any sound. It was looking for the best time and position!

The calf moved in the grass and touched something, startling Shu Shuang and causing her to scream.

"Don't be afraid."

Xia Xiao spoke softly, lowering the torch.

"Just a branch."

Shu Shuang took a few breaths and felt a little embarrassed. However, darkness can arouse a person's fear the most, and she is no exception.

"Playing tricks!"

Xia Xiao was not so excited as to yell, as that would only give his opponent an opportunity to take advantage. So he just mobilized his energy and waited for his opponent to show up.

The moment the wind started, the dark red machete flashed a scarlet light. The wild grass swayed to one side, and the sky and earth began to whistle.

The overgrown land seemed to be held by the wind, and the torch was extinguished instantly. Xia Xiao protected Shu Shuang and looked towards the sky to the south.

There was a vast expanse of land over there. Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang, who could use their vitality, saw black smoke rising, covering half of the night sky. The black smoke was so thick that it turned into a big mouth in the sky, like the mouth of a wild beast, trying to swallow Xia Xiao. Standing on the ground, Xia Xiao, who was as small as a wild grass, looked up, but he seemed to have seen this black smoke before.

That was the first night that Shu Shuang came to the Xia family. He had dreamed of a wisp of black smoke crashing into the Nether Sea, causing the heaven and earth to shake. Now, it appeared vividly in front of Xia Xiao.

The sky pressed down, the clouds were crushed, and the huge mouth of the abyss opened towards Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang.

Xia Xiao frowned, his heart trembled, how to deal with this? This guy who was hundreds of feet long was beyond his range of handling.

Suddenly, a blue light flashed behind him, just like the talisman array that Shu Shuang cast at the entrance of the Blood Dragon Dao. When he turned around, he saw that Shu Shuang's eyes were filled with rich vitality, which flowed down from the corners of his eyes and surrounded his body.

"Shu Shuang?"

In the strong wind, Xia Xiao's clothes flapped loudly, but Shu Shuang's hair did not move. She seemed to be attracted by something, looking at the southern sky, and she felt murderous.

Shu Shuang frowned. The sound of the wind was getting louder and louder. This time, the whistling wind collided with the whistling wind from the black smoke, lifting the ground and causing the universe to tremble.

The air was shaking, the space was torn apart, and a series of explosions caused Xia Xiao to fall to the ground. He raised his puzzled eyes and looked at Shu Shuang in disbelief. Her power was so strong?

Xia Xiao originally thought that Shu Shuang's last use of the talisman array at the entrance of the Snow Dragon Pass was already the limit, but who would have thought it was just the beginning. What level of power would she release at this time? It could cause a sensation in the world, so it must be at least a fruit of the Venerable Realm. Could it be a curved wheel? Cangtian?

The blue energy and the black energy collided, and the battle was prolonged. Soon the former was defeated, and Shu Shuang took a step back. Suddenly, the clouds were swirling, and Xia Xiao felt a gust of wind rushing towards him. There were eyes in the wind, and it was ready to take his life!
