"We're finally here. After crossing this bridge, the other party will definitely not be chasing us."
In a team of more than a dozen people, seeing no one reaching the bridge in front of them, a middle-aged man with scars all over his body and serious injuries said with some joy.
Even though the scars on his body were still emitting black gas, seeing that he was about to be safe, a new force was injected into his tired body, because the hope of escape was right in front of him.
"Definitely not. This is the realm of demon souls. Not far away is Ma Nan's sphere of influence. They will definitely not come here at this time. Our defeated army is not worth it. Maybe the opponent has gone back by now.
This battle is really unexpected, I heard that many cities are involved."
Beside him, another man with a better look said equally happily, but he just sighed and was not in the mood to continue talking.
"Hey, I wouldn't have come if I had known it. How could anyone encounter such an unfortunate thing just after coming here? It seems that the Soul Alliance will be in chaos for a while."
Near the entrance, a burly demon clan also complained.
"Shh, stop talking. Half of the brothers didn't escape. You can't blame the captain. At least we all agreed when we came." A female demon clan next to her gestured to her companion to tell him not to complain.
Compared with other people's injuries, their own combat power is still good, so they can deal with incoming enemies at the rear. In addition, the other people are not thinking behind them, so only the two of them know that if other companions hear it.
When I arrived, I couldn't help but stare.
At this level, I still blame the captain.
Because the captain who came with them had endured the most battles and pressure, and was now seriously injured. If it hadn't been for him, they wouldn't have lost only half.
In the middle, the captain, who could barely keep up with several people, had an extremely strong body, but he was extremely weak at this time. After seeing the bridge, the tight string in his heart finally dropped.
"Ahem, everyone, don't be so anxious. The other party will definitely not come after you. You can relax a little."
He was very clear about the conversation of the team members in front and the hearts of the people around him, and they were the only ones around the bridge, so there was no need to be so anxious.
After hearing the captain's words, the fleeing team slowed down. By the time the bridge was within easy reach and less than a few feet away, the entire team had stopped.
"We'll rest here and replenish our supplies before moving on."
The captain's voice rang out in the crowd, and everyone picked up the fine soul stones and began to recover.
After running away for so many days without rest, each of them was not only exhausted, but also physically exhausted. If they had not had this only escape route, they would have fought desperately with the enemy halfway. Without supplements now, they would not have any combat power.
"Are you waiting for them? They look so weak!"
At the other end of the bridge, Hua Xin looked at the group of people resting opposite and couldn't help but say.
Among that group of people, the one with the highest strength is the peak Golden Immortal, and the others are in the early to mid-stage of Golden Immortal, and they are all in a state of trauma now, and they can no longer be weak.
"No, don't ask them. I want to wait for a girl of about ten years old. That is my goal. Don't alert others when the time comes. I want to follow him and find someone."
Although it was impossible for Hua Xin to take the initiative, for the sake of safety, Gu Zheng still gave instructions and then looked at the opposite side.
Because there is a special force around the bridge, there is no black mist in the area, but if the other party does not leave, the little demon boy will definitely not come out.
According to his footsteps, the other party should have arrived nearby, hidden in the black mist. The connection in his heart is also looming, and he doesn't know where the other party is hiding.
Now he can only wait patiently for the other party to leave. He can't drive him away. If the demon boy sees him, he may not go back and may take him on a detour.
Fortunately, they didn't have much time to rest there. After a brief recovery, they got up one after another, got on the bridge in pairs, and walked towards this side.
Although they were sure that there were no enemies chasing behind them, the sense of urgency in their hearts still kept them from slowing down. In just a few breaths, they had reached the middle of the bridge. After a little while, they had completely stepped into the demon soul's side.
territory.
From their point of view, everything will be fine.
But at this moment, an accident happened.
In the rushing Soul River next to it, a black water column suddenly exploded into the sky, and exploded again in the air, forming thousands of raindrops, like a heavy downpour, which, blessed by some kind of power, quickly fell towards the people on the bridge.
The dense raindrops covered most of the bridge. Coupled with the sudden incident, they did not expect that there was something strange under the Soul River, so they had no time to escape from the black water.
"Everyone, hurry up and protect yourselves!"
As soon as the captain saw the situation in the air, he mustered up all his strength to drink towards everyone, and at the same time, a weak shield immediately enveloped his body.
Although the others were taken aback, the captain shouted and let them know the seriousness of the matter. They all put up their defenses and accelerated towards the front.
But they underestimated the water droplets coming out of the Soul River. Although there was no other covering power, the frightening Soul River itself had the ability to suppress them, not to mention that everyone was injured.
All the protections collapsed at the first touch, and fell on them one after another under their horrified eyes.
"ah!"
For a time, painful wails kept coming from their mouths, and their bodies seemed to have been hit hard. They lay down limply, completely losing the power to resist.
Gu Zheng could see it clearly here. When the raindrops fell on the other party, they actually merged into the other party's body, and the other party seemed to have lost control. You must know that those raindrops affected most of their bodies.
When it does, it will cause the other party to completely lose control of their body.
And at this moment, a demon soul with black water flowing all over its body stood silently in the air.
The upper body looks like a human body, but from the waist down, it becomes a column of black water. It circulates with the black water all over the body. His eyes are cold and lifeless, and the corners of his mouth reveal a cruel smile like a hunter, staring down.
The people below also saw the enemy, but at this time they were powerless, unable to resist even a little bit. They allowed the raindrops to corrode their bodies continuously, and holes suddenly appeared on them, leaving everyone with craters.
, a piece was missing out of thin air.
At this time, they couldn't even scream. Under such heavy trauma, almost everyone's body began to collapse and fell into a semi-conscious state.
At this time, the demon soul above took action. He sucked in suddenly, and a strong suction force came out of his mouth.
Wisps of black mist emerged from everyone below, and with the suction force, more than a dozen black lines were drawn in the air, and they were all swallowed up by him.
As his face showed a satisfied and full look, everyone below had disappeared, and even the water column splashing on the bridge had evaporated.
"It's not that the demon soul can't survive in the soul river. What happened to him?"
Gu Zheng's face was a little surprised. The water demon was not very strong, but after he finished devouring everyone, he fell into the Soul River again, and he had to ask questions.
"Yes, but the other party is a bit special, because the other party was born in the Soul River and is relatively rare in number. More importantly, the other party cannot leave a certain range of the Soul River without the help of our clan. As long as it leaves for a certain period of time, it will take about one stick.
They died suddenly outside at the right time, so they are rarely seen outside, and more importantly, the other party cannot help people cross the Soul River."
Hua Xin obviously knew this creature and immediately explained.
"But they also obey the orders of the adults. At a certain time, our clan will provide a certain amount of things to the other party so that the other party can go ashore. Although we don't want to, we can't, but the strange thing is that in so many years, I have never seen
They don’t know where they went.”
Gu Zheng didn't pay much attention to what the other party said later. The water demon was still lurking in his perception and then retreated to a place where the bridge could not interfere with it, continuing to wait for the arrival of its prey.
The opponent's behavior seems to be hunting. In contrast, the enemy's strength is improved very quickly by devouring it.
On the way here, he saw a lot of weak demon souls, but they were just a ball of black mist, which could barely transform into various shapes. Many of them were fighting and devouring each other, and some powerful ones even divided themselves into one party.
They occupied a place, but most of them ended up being killed and devoured by bandits, without exception!
"Since they have to rely on your clan, when my target comes out later, you can intimidate the other party and don't let the other party take action." Gu Zheng saw that the other party had no intention of wanting it, and thought of Hua Xin's words, and made arrangements for her.
.
"If I go, I may not be able to intimidate the other party. After all, my strength is at a lower level than him. Even if he begs us... Okay, I'll go!"
Hua Xin looked embarrassed. After all, he was interfering with the other party and forcing him to do so. The other party would not give him face because of his race.
Maybe he would be attacked by the other party, but after Gu Zheng looked at him with unkind eyes, he understood his situation. His life was still in the hands of the other party, so he immediately stopped trying to shirk and looked like he was generously serving justice.
, as if a huge sacrifice had been made.
Gu Zheng ignored the other party's pretense and continued to wait patiently. He had already noticed the movement not far away, and it seemed that the other party had arrived a long time ago.
Perhaps it was because the little demon boy also discovered the bridge. After half a day, when he felt completely safe, he cautiously walked around from a distance.
He had already put away the stones in his hands, carrying the bamboo basket on his back, stopping every step, looking left and right, and approached the bridge.
She was also shrewd. Although there was no one nearby, she did not come out of the black mist, revealing that she could safely penetrate the black mist.
"It's your turn."
Gu Zheng felt that the water demon in the distance was starting to move again. He obviously regarded the little demon boy in front of him as prey, so he couldn't help but say something.
In order to ensure absolute safety, he would not wait for the other party to take action before taking action.
Hua Xin had no choice but to reveal his body, pretend to be rushing ahead, and speed away from here, just in time to meet the little demon boy in front of the bridge.
The appearance of Hua Xin startled the little demon boy. He was hesitating whether to retreat a little distance first, but Hua Xin had already taken the initiative to greet him.
"Hey, where did this little demon come from? He's really pretty. Let me take a look."
Hua Xin deliberately pretended to be interested in getting close to the little demon boy, regardless of whether the other person was willing or not, she leaned directly next to him and spoke enthusiastically.
"Are you going to the other side too? It's fate that we meet each other. I happen to be bored alone. Let's come together. Are you alone?"
He stretched out his hand to catch the little demon boy who was trying to escape, and then led her forward with a smile. At the same time, he kept looking at the other person, and it seemed that he was really interested in her.
Of course, the little demon boy recognized the other party's identity. Seeing the other party like this, he didn't dare to resist at all. He could only shrink back and follow the other party with a scared look on his face. He looked like he wanted to leave but dared not leave. No.
Dare to be angry but dare not speak.
Hua Xin kept talking, stretched out her hand and pinched the other person's face, and led the other person onto the bridge with a playful look.
Gu Zheng was in the distance, and he could clearly feel that the water demon ambushing below hesitated. The body that had already rushed out returned to the range of the Soul River again, hesitating a little, and kept wandering underwater. In the end, it seemed that he was not ready to sneak attack on the opponent.
Staying quietly under the water, the faint murderous intention on his body gradually disappeared.
There are no traces of the original battle on the entire bridge. Although the bridge does not look like much, in fact no one can destroy it.
Hua Xin pulled the little demon boy and quickly walked through the middle. At this moment, the water demon who had been staying motionless on the water suddenly moved, and instantly rushed from the Soul River to the vicinity of the bridge, and continued to explode the water column into the sky.
Repeating the old tricks and trying to hurt the other party hard.
It turns out that he didn't give up hunting, but thought that he might be discovered by the opponent if he got close, so he didn't ambush nearby.
As water droplets fell from the sky again, feeling the aura that was devastating to her, the little demon child was completely stunned. She could only stand on the bridge in a daze, waiting for the water droplets to fall.
However, the other party suddenly had a vigilance in his heart, but he never relaxed. While feeling the movement around him, he had already put up a defense and ran ahead before the water column exploded.
In this place, the enemy's strength is higher than hers. Even with her special abilities, she is unable to defeat them.
But as soon as he took two steps, he realized that he had just thought about running away, and the little guy he wanted to protect was still where he was.
Seeing that the water column in the air had dispersed, he immediately turned back to the other party, grabbed her arm, and ran forward with her.
However, after such a delay, he could no longer escape the range of the water column, and could only watch the water column coming towards him.
The water demon below has reappeared in the air, eyes flashing with excitement, as if seeing something great tonic, staring closely at the center of the painting, eyes filled with strong killing intent, as if there is something
Like a deep hatred.
Hua Xin had been prepared for this for a long time and was not in a hurry. The transparent black shield that had been propped up around him twisted for a while, and it felt like the entire shield came to life, shaking like water waves. Together with the appearance of the women inside,
They are all somewhat incomplete and unclear, as if they are hidden under the very deep seabed.
Once those water droplets hit the strange shield, they were directly bounced away without causing any harm to them at all.
The water demon seemed to have known this outcome for a long time. He stretched his palm forward, and a large black water flow emerged from it, quickly laying a thick wall of water on the bridge in front, completely blocking Hua Xin's way, and at the same time, the whole person fell from the air.
, launched an attack towards Hua Xin.
The painting heart in front of him waved his hand, and the small Qingluo fan instantly appeared in his hand. A green light condensed from it, drawing a blue arc in the air, and landed directly on the black water wall in front of him, exploding with a huge bang.
cyan light.
The entire black water wall was split in half by the cyan light, and a huge hole appeared in the middle. Even though the water on both sides was constantly trying to heal and block the gap, a stream of cyan energy was constantly squirming around the cracked edge.
Block the opponent and let the water flow on both sides approach, as if in slow motion.
Hua Xin was overjoyed and wanted to take the opportunity to rush over. Teng Na's space on the bridge was too small, and more importantly, she had a small burden, which put her at a disadvantage.
How could the water demon that was falling in the air let the other party leave easily? He grabbed it with his hand, and on top of the intact water wall, fist-sized black water balls emerged from it and shot toward the heart of the painting.
He had noticed that the other party seemed to want to protect the little demon boy. Although he didn't know why, most of the attacks were directed at the little demon boy who had no resistance at all.
When Hua Xin saw this, she felt even more angry, but she had to free her hands to knock off the attack in front of her. There was not much room to dodge on the entire bridge.
One hand protected the little demon boy, and the small fan in the other hand danced into a phantom in the air. Under the dance of green light, black water balls made the sound of bursting bubbles in the air, and were crushed one after another, but
It also succeeded in delaying her pace.
When all the black balls in front of her disappeared, the water wall had destroyed the green light, completely healed, and blocked her way again. More importantly, the water demon also fell behind her, blocking them on the bridge.
above.
"You dare to attack me. Do you know how much you have to pay, and your race will have to pay the price for this. If you don't get out of the way quickly, maybe I will consider mitigating your punishment."
Hua Xin raised her eyebrows, and regardless of her own situation, since the other party dared to take action, she immediately shouted at him.
"Do you think your identity can still scare me? Since I dare to take action, as long as you die, then of course I am not afraid of anyone knowing. If I am to blame, it is because you should not be here at this time." The water demon is not in danger of Hua Xin.
He took a step closer and said.
As he spoke, dots of blue light emerged from his body, forming a huge blue transparent shield around them, completely enveloping them all.
Now that he has taken action, he cannot let the other party escape, otherwise he will escape to the ends of the earth and have no chance of living. What's more, he is full of undying hatred for Hua Xin's clan.
As he finished speaking, a huge black light burst out from his whole body, and a black water stream spun out from under him, forming a huge black water column, like a parallel tornado, with a huge roar of waves, occupying more than half of the bridge.
space, rushing towards the center of the painting.
