After Du Heng and Xiao Xiao went upstairs, Lao Dao asked Jing Nan with concern: "Sir, do you want to step aside as well?"
Jing Nan chuckled: "Avoid? Isn't that just making things worse? Just see it like this."
After a while, there was a knock on the door. It was raining heavily outside, but the sound of the knock on the door was clearly heard through the rain.
The courtyard door opened automatically, and a young man in black stood in the rain. The young man had a delicate face, and his hair was as white as snow. He had a high ponytail, and when he opened his eyes, the stars gathered in his eyes. This was a spirited young man, and seeing such a young man, people's spirits could not help but be lifted up.
The young man took a step forward and knelt on one knee in the courtyard: "Nine-tailed Jing Mengmeng greets the two demon gods and greets General Chaos!"
Du Heng was peeling lotus seeds absentmindedly. Xiaoxiao was squatting beside his basket. When Du Heng peeled the lotus seeds and threw them into the basket, Xiaoxiao stretched her neck to pick up the lotus seeds and eat them.
It was stormy outside, with big raindrops hitting the windows. Du Heng did not feel that the heavy rain diluted the unhappiness in his heart. Instead, he felt that the heavy rain brought a solemn atmosphere, and there was a feeling that a storm was about to come.
After Du Heng finished peeling the lotus seeds, he looked into the basket and didn't see a single lotus seed. Xiao Xiao beside him smacked her lips with innocent eyes. Du Heng rubbed his belly in anger. This little bastard was so infuriating.
Summer rain comes and goes quickly. After the rain stopped, the frogs outside began to croak. Xuan Yu knocked on the door: "Xiao Heng, it's OK."
Du Heng opened the door and saw Xuan Yu's face was a little serious. Du Heng asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
Xuan Yu hugged Du Heng gently and said, "We'll talk about it in detail later."
When Du Heng went downstairs, Lao Dao and the young man had already disappeared. Jing Nan was sitting on a chair in the living room, staring blankly outside the house. When he heard Du Heng's footsteps, Jing Nan turned his head and said, "I'm sorry for putting you through this."
Du Heng smiled and said, "This is not a grievance at all."
Jing Nan told him on the first day he came to the village that everyone in the village had secrets. He was not a gossipy person, so Xuan Yu had his reasons for asking him to stay away.
Jing Nan pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down. Xiaoyu and I have something to say to you."
Du Heng sat down next to Jing Nan obediently. Jing Nan pondered for a moment, and the first thing he said was: "You may not believe it, but although our village is small, Xiao Yufenggui and I are from big families."
Du Heng burst out laughing. Jing Nan’s opening remarks were so funny.
Jing Nan chuckled and said, "Because something happened, the three of us stayed in the village. To put it nicely, you can think that we are hiding from the world; to put it bluntly, except for Feng Gui, the other two of us have given up."
Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu, and Xuan Yu nodded at him: "Yes."
Du Heng understood immediately after thinking about it. A few days ago, he was still wondering why Xuan Yu, a dragon, would leave the dragon clan and run to a small village to live such a lonely life. It turned out that they were hiding from the world. It became clear after hearing this.
Jing Nan said: "Although we give up most of the time, there are some things we must handle."
Du Heng's mind moved: "For example, the blackmail that Xuan Yu received?"
Jing Nan said: "Yes, for example, various important activities in the clan. Although we don't want to go back, our identities force us to go back."
Du Heng looked at Jing Nan in confusion: "So the people in your tribe are looking for you to go home and participate in the event?" Jing Nan nodded helplessly: "Yes, yes. It's quite urgent. If you leave now, you can catch up with the conference in ten days."
Du Heng shook his head in disapproval: "No, your current physical condition is too bad. Do you think you can go back to participate in the event now?" Jing Nan put his hands in his pockets: "No."
Du Heng said, "That's all." Jing Nan said slowly, "So Xiaoyu has to go on my behalf."
Du Heng was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "But... Xiaoyu is a dragon, and you are the Nine-Tailed Fox. Does the Nine-Tailed Fox live in the sea?"
Jing Nan shook his head: "No, Jiuwei lives in the mountains and forests in the north. I let Xiaoyu go instead of me just because we have the same identity."
Du Heng casually asked, "What identity?" Could it be that Xuan Yu was still the Nine-Tailed Fox?
Jing Nan put his hands in his pockets: "The identity of the demon god."
The air froze, and Du Heng was really dumbfounded this time.
Jing Nan said, "There are three great demon gods in the demon world, Dragon Lord Xuan Yu, Sky Fox Jing Nan, and Phoenix Lord Feng Gui. The water tribes under Dragon Lord live on the shore of the East China Sea, suppressing the demon beasts in the sea and maintaining peace on the shore. Phoenix Lord's territory is in the southern forest, and he can command the feather tribe, and those with long flat hair are under his jurisdiction. I have thirteen tribes under my command, and the beast tribe demon cultivators are under my rule."
Jing Nan's voice was filled with an indescribable loneliness: "Xiao Yu originally didn't want you to know so soon, but I think you have the right to know. Rather than letting you learn our true identity from others in the future, it is better for us to tell you in person now."
Jing Nan sighed: "It has been ten thousand years since the saint passed away. During these ten thousand years, there have been several conflicts in the demon world, and they were all suppressed by the three of us. We have been in the position of demon god for too long, so long that some people are already dissatisfied with us."
Du Heng heard his own voice asking questions, and he asked: "Can you give up the position of the demon god? We can live well in the village?"
Jing Nan smiled and said, "That's exactly what you think. But even if we really want to choose a successor, how much blood and gore will the demon world have to fight for the position of successor? If we give up the position, then life and death will be decided by others at a moment's notice."
Jing Nan glanced at Du Heng gently and said, "A man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. You should understand this principle very well."
Xuan Yu said: "After the saint passed away, the three of us spent more than 800 years to stabilize the demon world. Now the various tribes in the demon world maintain a superficial balance, but there are undercurrents inside. There are many frustrations in this position, and sometimes you can't help yourself."
Du Heng opened his mouth and asked: "Do I have to go?"
Xuan Yu nodded: "Yes."
Jing Nan said, "Originally I should have come in person, but you know my current situation. I'm afraid that if I get to the beast tribe, I'll be torn into pieces the moment I get there. In order to save my life and the dignity of the demon god, Xiaoyu needs to go on my behalf."
Du Heng's heart was like a ball of cotton, and he knew something must have happened. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Can you tell me what the beastman's meeting is for?"
Jing Nan said: "It's nothing, it's just that eight of the thirteen tribes under my command have changed their chiefs. They need to be recognized by the demon god before they can sit in that position openly. They don't care who goes, as long as it's the demon god who goes."
Xuan Yu said: "The Beast Tribe and the Feather Tribe have had many conflicts in recent years. If Feng Gui goes, I'm afraid things will not be pleasant. Only if I go can I resolve this situation."
Just by listening to what Jing Nan and Xuan Yu said, Du Heng knew how dangerous this trip was. But he also knew that he couldn't stop Xuan Yu from going, because some things were more important than life. Monks valued face and promises, and losing face would be more painful than losing life.
Xuan Yu looked at Du Heng seriously and held Du Heng's hand. "Don't worry about me. It is precisely because I am the one going that the beast tribe cannot hurt me and must protect me well. If I have any mishap in the beast tribe's territory, the water tribe and the beast tribe will not let it go."
To be honest, from the moment Jing Nan said that the three of them were demon gods, Du Heng's mind went blank. Although Xuan Yu said so, Du Heng still felt frightened.
Xuan Yu paused and said, "I am more worried about you than myself. Jing Nan is at a critical moment. If someone attacks at this time... the consequences will be disastrous."
Jing Nan sneered: "Do you think I'm easy to mess with?" Xuan Yu looked at Jing Nan deeply: "I'm leaving Xiao Heng to you. I hope you guys will be fine when I come back. Can you promise me?"
Jing Nan wanted to say something but stopped himself. However, seeing Xuan Yu's serious face and Du Heng's bewildered expression, he nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, if there are people who are not afraid of death, just make sure they never come back."
Du Heng was completely numb. He originally thought that Xuan Yu would rest for a night and set off tomorrow. But he didn't expect that after he finished speaking, Xuan Yu started to pack up. They had to set off at night, and it would take ten days and ten nights to reach the territory of the beast tribe.
Everyone was silent, no one was in the mood to eat dinner. Du Heng randomly filled a storage bag with food for Xuan Yu. He opened his mouth with a voice full of grievance: "Can't we... leave tomorrow morning? It just rained, and the road is not easy to walk on."
Xuan Yu touched Du Heng's face and kissed him between the eyebrows: "Go early and come back early. You will take care of the village when I'm not here. By the way, if, I mean if, a monster attacks the village and you feel you can't resist it, then go to the Saint Temple on the top of the north mountain."
Du Heng responded. He always thought that he was not a sentimental person. But when he saw Xuan Yu holding an umbrella and a lantern and about to go out, Du Heng felt as if his heart was being pulled away, empty and painful.
At the gate of the courtyard, the nine-tailed boy who came in the heavy rain looked at Du Heng curiously and inquiringly. His pair of beautiful fox eyes were full of light, and when he saw Du Heng looking at him, he showed a bright smile.
Jing Nan smiled slightly: "Meng Meng is so interested in our Du Heng? Do you want to stay for a while?"
Jing Mengmeng actually blinked, and he smiled brightly and asked Jing Nan, "Is it okay?"
Jing Nan laughed and kicked Meng Meng from behind. "You wish! Go back quickly. It was not easy for your grandfather to let you out. You still want to stay in the village? Go back and see if he won't break your legs."
The young man immediately made a bitter face: "Hey? Chief, please don't be so cruel. I really want to stay in the village with you."
Jing Nan smiled and shook his head: "Accompany me? You want to be lazy, right? Go away now. If you stay here, Lao Dao will be annoyed to death by you."
Jing Mengmeng looked at Lao Dao who was standing next to her with a bitter look on her face: "General Chaos, please say something good for me. I really won't make a fuss anymore."
Lao Dao frowned and said seriously: "Let's go." As soon as I heard the tone, I knew that Lao Dao had been harmed by Jing Mengmeng before.
The sadness of parting was alleviated by the lively boy. It should be fun to have such a lively boy accompany Xuan Yu to the Fox Clan. Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu deeply, and thousands of words turned into one sentence: "I'll wait for you to come back."
Xuan Yu nodded and touched Du Heng's face: "Protect yourself well."
He turned to look at Lao Dao: "I'll leave it to you." Lao Dao saluted and said: "Don't worry, Lord Long, I will protect them even if I risk my life."
Xuan Yu and the young man walked towards the village entrance. The carp had already been harnessed to the cart frame and was waiting beside the pond at the entrance of the village.
Du Heng stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched for a long time. His spiritual consciousness kept watching Xuan Yu and the others walk out of the village. Only when he saw Xuan Yu get on the ox cart did he reluctantly withdrew his spiritual consciousness.
At the moment he withdrew his consciousness, he felt Xuan Yu respond to him gently: "I'm leaving."
Du Heng's eyes suddenly turned red: "Well, have a good trip."
188
The past few days since Xuan Yu left, the weather has been calm. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the rain from the previous two days had dried up. Taking advantage of the cool morning, Du Heng took Xiao Xiao and the others to the peach forest in Nanshan.
Since the beginning of summer, the peaches in the peach forest have gradually matured. Du Heng made a lot of peach jam and canned syrup, but most of the peaches are gone now. Only two late peach trees still have fruits hanging on them. The peaches on them are only slightly larger than apricots. He thinks the peaches on these two trees will not mature until after the beginning of autumn.
Xiaoxiao and Nianniansuisui stood on the branches of the peach tree seriously, and the three of them inspected their fruits one by one. Whenever the peaches were about to ripen, they would find out earlier than the birds living on the peach tree.
Du Heng sat under the peach tree without much energy. After Xuan Yu left, he had no appetite, fearing that something might happen to Xuan Yu. It was embarrassing to say that he dreamed of Xuan Yu covered in blood last night, and when Du Heng woke up, his pillow was wet.
He didn't do anything else these days. He took Xiaoxiao's book and studied the history of the demon world. In the history of the demon race, he saw the glorious deeds of the three great demon gods.
Ten thousand years ago, the demon world and the human world were in a state of disorder. At that time, the Chaos Sea surrounded the Taixu World. For tens of millions of years, the Chaos Sea has been encroaching on this land. In the worst and darkest times, the demon beasts that escaped from the chaos ran rampant on the land of Taixu World, causing great suffering to the people.
A passage appeared in the center of the land, and the existence of the passage accelerated the speed of Taixu Realm sinking into the Chaos Sea. When the Chaos Sea was about to swallow up Taixu Realm, a person appeared in Taixu Realm, and this person was the Saint Qingheng.
According to historical records, the saint Qing Heng was gifted with extraordinary talents and had a broad mind. He obtained three treasures from the chaos, namely the Huantian Pearl, the Huntian Pearl, and the Lutian Pearl. With the three pearls, Qing Heng's strength increased greatly and he became the number one person under the Heavenly Dao.
He could have ascended to the upper realm, but for the sake of the sentient beings in the Taixu Realm, he resolutely threw himself into the channel where the Chaos Sea was encroaching on the land. The channel was filled up by Qingheng, but Qingheng died.
After Qing Heng fell, three demons in the demon world got the three beads left by Qing Heng. In the 800-year-long chaos in the demon world, they led the demon cultivators in the demon world to fight against the chaotic demon beasts left on the continent. When everything settled, they became the three great demon gods. The demon world was thus divided into three parts, and everyone found peace.
These three demon gods were Xuan Yu, Jing Nan and Feng Gui, whom Du Heng knew. Some books recorded their battle records, such as Feng Jun once burned thousands of demon beasts to death, Xuan Yu guarded the checkpoint alone and fought against demon beasts for ten days and ten nights, and Jing Nan saved tens of thousands of demon cultivators with his superb alchemy skills.
History books are good at flattering people, at least the history books Du Heng read were all good things, which slightly calmed Du Heng's anxiety. But before Xuan Yu came back, he would always be worried.
Du Heng has been thinking about one thing these days. Xuan Yu is so powerful, why did he choose him as his Taoist partner? And what Xuan Yu said to him before, there is a hint. Du Heng is a person who doesn't like to think about things. Before there is solid evidence, he doesn't want to add trouble to himself.
Instead of having time to daydream, it is better to make delicious and beautiful dishes. He likes the present life and hopes that everyone can be safe and sound.
At this time, Xiao Wonton suddenly made a low threatening sound towards the other side of the river. Du Heng turned his head and looked at the other side of the Stone River. The ferns on the other side were taller than people. The sun had just risen and the ferns had not yet been sunburned.
Du Heng saw the fern leaves swaying, and he thought that it must be the small animals on the South Mountain that ran into the fern bushes. Some small animals on the South Mountain would run down the mountain to drink water, and once Du Heng saw a white spirit animal that looked like a sika deer.
It is particularly easy to distinguish between spiritual beasts and demon beasts. The spiritual light wrapped around spiritual beasts makes them look ethereal, while the spiritual light wrapped around demon beasts carries a murderous aura.
This time, a black and red monster emerged from the bracken. It looked like a leopard, but was twice as big as a leopard. The monster bared a pair of long white fangs, swung its spiked tail, and stared at Xiao Wonton with a vicious look.
Du Heng grabbed Little Wonton and said, "Wonton, let's go home. You are not allowed to cross the river." When Little Wonton grew up, he would sometimes go up the mountain to bring back a few wild rabbits.
But the monster was much taller than Wonton, and although Wonton had bitten Zhu Yan to death when he was still a puppy, Du Heng knew clearly that if a cat and a dog of the same size fought, the dog would have no chance of winning.
Little Wonton felt threatened, so he lowered his body and backed away step by step, pulling at the corner of Du Heng's clothes and heading home. Xiao Xiao and the others saw that something was wrong, so they quickly flew into Du Heng's backpack.
Xiaoxiao urged Du Heng to leave, his voice became hurried and sharp: "Chiu——"
When leaving, Du Heng turned his head to look at the bracken bushes. The leopard was lying leisurely on a stone on the other side of the river, but its blood-red eyes were staring at this side of the river. Du Heng thought of the monster he and Xiaoxiao encountered when they left Lingxi Town. The monster's eyes were full of greed.
That monster almost took the lives of Du Heng and Xiao Xiao, and the monster in front of him gave Du Heng the same feeling of danger as the monster at that time.
And not knowing whether it was an illusion, Du Heng felt that there were countless dark shadows moving under the bracken. A powerful pressure seeped out faintly across the stone river. Du Heng did not dare to look anymore. He hurried home to tell Lao Dao about this situation.
However, Lao Dao was not at home. He and Da Hundun went to Xishan. Jing Nan was still sleeping, and he slept very restlessly.
Du Heng panicked for a while but then regained his composure. Now he was the most powerful person in the village. If anything really happened, he would be responsible for protecting Xiaoxiao and the others!
Du Heng ran to the upstairs terrace countless times throughout the day. Even though his home was several miles away from the foot of Nanshan Mountain, he could see the monsters gathering on the other side of the Stone River. It was the first time he had seen so many monsters gathered together since he came to the village.
Lao Dao was gone for a whole day, and he hadn't returned when the sun was setting. Du Heng felt extremely guilty, but he had to stay calm.
Xiaoxiao and the chicks probably also sensed the movement on the other side of the Stone River. They stayed at home obediently after they came back. Xiaoxiao no longer asked for popsicles. He didn't even eat lunch. He looked very serious.
Jing Nan had been sleeping all day, and Du Heng went to see him every half an hour. Jing Nan's face was pale and his fever was alarmingly high. However, Du Heng could not help him except to send him some spiritual energy.
After lunch, the fern bushes on the South Mountain slowly turned from green to black. Countless monsters gathered on the opposite side of the Stone River and lurked in the fern bushes. The black miasma they carried killed the fern bushes. The other side of the river was dark, and a sweep of the divine sense only revealed a scene that made one's scalp numb.
The monsters on the other side of the river included the familiar mountain maggots, as well as the unfamiliar beasts such as the dagger-bearing maggots and the dagger-bearing maggots. They were so large that Du Heng felt that if they confronted him head-on, he would be knocked away.
The ancestors of these monsters came from the Chaos Sea. After the first batch of monsters were dealt with by the monster gods, their descendants hid on the earth like weeds. Every once in a while, a monster would come out and wander in the monster world. They were cruel, brutal and bloodthirsty, and had been endangering the human world and the monster world for many years.
If the miasma on their bodies is inhaled by spirit beasts, the mildest ones will suffer from headaches and dizziness, the worst ones will die on the spot, and the worst ones will be assimilated by the monster beasts, and turn from spirit beasts into monster beasts. Although the demon god organization has been destroying these monster beasts, they always linger around, and it feels like they can never be completely killed.
The monsters had been lingering near the Stone River, and some impatient monsters wanted to break through the Stone River. They bared their teeth and were eager to try, but when they jumped and tried to fly across the river, a light blue barrier appeared above the river. The monsters that came into contact with the barrier were beaten to pieces, and several fell to the riverbed and died.
The remaining monsters took two steps back, and soon some clever monsters secretly tried to wade across the river. But when their claws just stepped into the cool water, a flash of light appeared in the water. The monsters only had time to wail, and their bodies were torn into pieces like small melons falling from a building.
The flesh and blood exploded, and most of it flew towards the south mountain. A small part of it stuck to the barrier and slid down. The rushing stream washed away the blood, and soon the stream turned pink.
This move frightened the monsters. Throughout the day, they were cautious, and occasionally a few of them would be impatient and repeat the tragedy of the previous monsters.
Although the monster's flesh and blood did not enter the barrier, the strong smell of blood drifted over from time to time. The geese that usually loved to play in the peach forest near Nanshan all hid in the yard today, and each one was very quiet.
When Du Heng walked over, they stretched their necks to look at him. When Du Heng turned his head, he could see more than a dozen pairs of black bean-like eyes full of trust.
Du Heng thought about it, and then he took out his own cave. His cave had been upgraded, and Xuan Yu said that his cave was like a mustard seed space, which could hold living things.
Du Heng opened the cave for the second time. He chased the goslings into the cave. He threw some grass into the pond in front of the cave for fear that the goslings would be hungry. Nianniansuisui and Xiaomao were also chased into the cave by Du Heng. He wanted to put Xiaoxiao and Xiaowonton in there too, but the two refused to let him go, so Du Heng had to give up.
As the sun gradually set, the monsters seemed to sense some kind of signal. More and more monsters flew over the Stone River, and the injured monsters howled in pain. The barrier to the south and west of the village kept flashing with pale blue light, which flashed like fireworks, but every time a light flashed, the monsters would howl in anger.
This is the "fireworks" that the monsters released with their lives, and it is also the bloody flower that Du Heng least wants to see. However, the speed of the fireworks blooming is getting faster and faster, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger, which makes Du Heng tremble with fear. These monsters are desperate to hit the barrier, is it because of Jing Nan inside the barrier?
They want Jing Nan's life? !
The barrier above his head covered the entire village like a green eggshell. Du Heng stood on the terrace and looked around. The only place without barrier protection was behind the bamboo forest of Jingnan's home. The barrier stopped at the edge of the bamboo forest, where there was an exit.
Du Heng knew where the bamboos grew, over the stone river on both sides, winding up the mountain. Although Du Heng had never been to the mountain, he knew that the bamboos stretched for several miles along the path behind Jing Nan's house leading to the top of the mountain.
There are the most monsters in the south and west, followed by the east. So far, no monsters have been seen on the rocks behind Du Heng's house or in the vicinity.
Du Heng wore the Qingshuang Sword on his waist. Although Wen Qiong did not teach him swordsmanship, a professional sword would always be more lethal than his kitchen knife at a critical moment, right? Realizing that the monsters were rushing in to target Jing Nan, Du Heng brought all the equipment he could find.
189
The moment the sun officially sank into the horizon, Du Heng heard a sharp cry. The scream came from the southwest corner, shaking Du Heng's body. His chest felt stuffy and he almost vomited. However, he used his spiritual energy to suppress the nausea that surged in his chest. He still had to protect Jing Nan, so how could he be knocked down by a scream?
A huge shadow rose from the southwest, and Du Heng heard the sound of solid footsteps. The sound of footsteps seemed to fall on Du Heng's heart, and the mountains and rivers were shaking.
Xiaoxiao hugged Du Heng's legs. Du Heng thought he was very scared. He lowered his head to touch Xiaoxiao's head and tell Xiaoxiao not to be afraid. But when he lowered his head, he saw Xiaoxiao's bright eyes. Xiaoxiao: "Chirp!"
Xiaoxiao said: Don’t be afraid, I’m here!
Du Heng smiled. This silly boy refused to enter his cave, maybe he wanted to stay and cheer him up? It must be said that Xiaoxiao inherited his uncle's temperament. He would not change his expression even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. At such a young age, he already had the temperament of Feng Jun. If he could transform one day, he would definitely become an excellent demon cultivator.
Not only Xiaoxiao stayed with Du Heng, but also Xiao Wonton. Xiao Wonton lay at the gate of the yard, and finally had a solemn temperament like his father. However, when Du Heng looked at Xiao Wonton, Wonton began to whimper, and his tail shook like a flower.
The presence of Xiaoxiao and Xiao Wonton gave Du Heng great courage. He stood in the yard and closed the gate. A layer of light blue barrier rose above his head. The color of this barrier was slightly different from the barrier outside the village. Xuan Yu said that there was a barrier inside the yard. If the outermost formation was broken, the barrier at home could still resist for a while.
At this time, a wave of green spiritual light flashed above his head. Du Heng didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the spiritual light of the outer barrier was not as strong as it was at the beginning. He opened the gate of the courtyard, and sure enough, he saw a black giant beast smashing the barrier in the southwest.
The earth-shaking footsteps just now came from this giant beast, which stopped in front of the barrier. Du Heng felt that its shadow was higher than the West Mountain. Through the spiritual light of the barrier, Du Heng saw the hideous face of the giant beast.
The outline of the giant beast looked like an ape. Its thick and long arms hit the barrier like a stone hammer. Every time it hit a few times, it stood up and slapped its chest. When it stood up, it was four feet tall. Compared with it, Du Heng's house was several times smaller.
The sound of slapping flesh was heard, and the monkey let out a barking cry. Following its cry, the monsters gathered beside the Stone River rushed towards the barrier desperately. For a moment, the spiritual light on the barrier was so dazzling that people could not open their eyes. Amid the continuous bangs, the earth was shaking.
Du Heng felt that the village was surrounded. He looked up at the sky. The stars in the sky were no longer visible, and a layer of dark clouds had formed above his head. The flashing light of the fragile barrier became the most dazzling existence under the dark clouds.
The quiet and peaceful little village became the center of the storm. If the barrier was broken, they would all be trapped. The more dazzling the spiritual light emitted by the barrier, the more its power was consumed. The spiritual light emitted by the barrier, which was green at the beginning, became fainter and fainter. Large diamond-shaped patterns appeared on the barrier. Du Heng felt that the barrier would not last much longer.
At this time, two roars were heard from the bamboo forest, one was like a dog barking, and the other was like a tiger roaring. Du Heng heard the earth-shaking curses: "Beast! How dare you do this here!"
This deep voice is from Lao Dao! Lao Dao is back! And he has brought reinforcements with him!
Du Heng saw two streaks of light rushing out of the Peizhu Forest, one heading southwest and the other heading due south.
The one that rushed to the southwest was a yellow dog that was five meters tall. The yellow dog rode on the clouds and mist, and with a few jumps on its four paws, it rushed from the north of the valley to the southwest. The huge dog was extremely agile. The moment it rushed through the barrier, its head tilted to the side, and it twisted its waist and miraculously avoided the monkey's claws.
It bit the monkey's throat, and the monkey let out a terrible howl, and dark red blood spurted out of the dog's mouth. Large pieces of black blood splashed onto the barrier, and under the reflection of the green spiritual light, the blood condensed on the barrier like a ruby. Some blood slid down along the curve of the barrier. If you look up at the sky at this time, you will see a gorgeous blood rain.
The yellow dog looked very much like Lao Dao's Great Chaos. With the force of the attack, he bit the monkey's throat and pulled it away from the barrier. The monkey's vitals were bitten, and its limbs were struggling. Its two sharp front claws scratched and clawed on the yellow dog's cheeks.
In the chaos, a large piece of Hun Dun's fur was torn off, and scars appeared on his head and face. It was painful to look at, but Hun Dun held on tightly and did not let go.
After just one encounter, the monkey was strangled by the throat. After struggling for a while, its limbs began to go limp. Hun Dun gathered all his strength, and when he clenched his teeth, there was a crisp snap, and the monkey's neck was bitten off. The monkey completely went limp, and Hun Dun let go of his mouth in disgust.
However, Chaos did not stop, it ran along the barrier outside the Stone River. Du Heng saw countless black shadows at the foot of the West Mountain. Those tall monsters took advantage of the night to sneak up on the barrier. Soon, Chaos found the next opponent!
Du Heng could only see a yellowish-brown aura surrounding the yellow dog. He heard the sound of mountains collapsing and the earth splitting in the southwest corner, but apart from the yellow dog's big curly tail wagging, he could not see anything else.
A huge sound wave came through the barrier, shaking Du Heng's chest. Du Heng, who had not yet officially entered the battlefield, was actually shocked by the strong demonic energy!
The one that rushed to the south was a white giant tiger with wings. It was not as tall as the yellow dog. The giant tiger was only three feet tall, and its sharp claws were wrapped with smoky gray spiritual energy. It was like smoky gray sword energy, and once it broke out of the barrier, it killed the monsters in Nanshan who tried to cross the river by surprise.
The monsters faced the giant tiger like ants facing an elephant. As the giant tiger dodged and grabbed, countless monsters were reduced to ashes.
The foot of Nanshan Mountain was in chaos. The monsters that had risked their lives to smash the barrier at the beginning suddenly lost their composure when they saw the giant tiger flying over. The hairs shot out from the giant tiger were like steel needles, piercing countless monsters. Some were nailed to the rocks of Nanshan Mountain, and some fell under the barrier.
Du Heng had seen the introduction of this kind of tiger in Xiaoxiao's history book. This is the ancient fierce beast Qiongqi! Qiongqi looks like a tiger, with hair like steel needles and wings on its back. That's right, this is Qiongqi.
The giant tiger raised its head and roared, "Fuck your mother! How dare you bully me! Who is this beast hiding his head and showing his tail? Do you dare to come out and fight me, your grandfather, openly!"
Du Heng was delighted when he heard this voice. It was Chonghua! The rescuer Lao Dao had called for turned out to be Chonghua! The village was saved!
However, before Du Heng could relax, someone patted his shoulder. Du Heng looked back and saw Jing Nan, who looked pale and panting, "Let's go to the Saint Temple."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Nan's body collapsed. Du Heng caught Jing Nan and said, "Jing Nan, are you okay?!"
Jing Nan's face was covered with beads of sweat. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's going to... grow a tail... The monsters in the chaos will really spy on our weaknesses."
Little Wonton was whimpering around Jing Nan. Jing Nan coughed a few times and said, "It's okay. You won't die. Quick, pack up and go to the Saint Temple. We can't let them succeed."
Du Heng had nothing to pack. He had moved everything he could to his cave during the day. Du Heng carried Jing Nan on his back and said, "We are going to the Saint Temple now. Jing Nan, hold on!"
