"Um, grandma made you... Solanta, do you have eyes..."
Liu Shiba made a confused and angry sound, but before he could finish, someone hit his head, and a warm and fleshy body threw himself into Liu Shiba's arms...
There was also a sweet mouth that blocked Liu Shiba's mouth, and of course he didn't forget to bump Liu Shiba's head with his forehead.
"Woo..."
Liu Shiba screamed sadly in his throat, but he couldn't scream out!
He felt very aggrieved. In the queue on the right, there was only one woman: Tamasu Uesugi...
This witch is the departed mother...
This witch is a clone of her mother, and her cell genes are almost 99% similar...
Heaven, two lines of hot tears squeezed out from the corners of Liu Shiba's eyes...
That mouth finally left Liu Shiba's head in panic!
"Ezoni...
"Bang!"
The misfortune continued, and before Liu Shiba could vent his inner anger, he felt the same head hit him on the back of his head again!
Five soldiers who were one step behind unexpectedly bumped into each other in the darkness...
The saddest thing is that Liu Shiba's consciousness was still clear in the end. Through the information fed back by Shadow Killer, he clearly saw his small body being trampled by five tall and thick soldiers, and he let out a series of muffled groans...
"Ouch!"
Finally, Liu Shiba let out a mournful cry, and then his consciousness fell into boundless chaotic consciousness. It can also be said to be darkness, or he was knocked unconscious...
………………
During this period of time when he was half asleep and half awake, Liu Shiba was in a daze, as if he had seen a dream that he could not understand.
In this dream, reality and illusion were intertwined, and Liu Shiba was almost trapped in it and couldn't extricate himself.
The previous dream was very warm and worth recalling...
He dreamed that he had lived in the three shabby thatched houses in Liujiatun with his grandfather since the day he was sensible.
Although the thatched cottage is dilapidated, it brought Liu Shiba an indelible happy childhood!
As for why you are happy?
That's because Grandpa Liu Yi never forced him to read and write. Grandpa never went to any parent-teacher meetings. Regardless of what the teacher said, Grandpa's response was just one sentence:
"I'm uneducated, so it's useless to go there."
About a hundred meters behind his thatched house, there is another dead end road in Liujiatun, besides the normal path up the mountain in the direction of Ziyun Town.
It is said to be a dead end because this road is actually a bottomless steep cliff. From the top down, it is always covered in white mist, making it look like a fairyland, dreamlike and intoxicating.
And this steep cliff is not bare and barren. About thirty meters down the cliff, there is a winding pine tree that has lived for an unknown number of years.
This old pine tree is probably older than Liu Shiba's grandfather was originally, right?
The branches of the old pine are almost as thick as two people. It grows among a protruding old rock in the middle of the cliff. It sprouts branches and leaves year after year, performing the miracle of life with its tenacious vitality.
In the dream, Liu Shiba stood on the cliff, lowered his head and looked at the old tree quietly, and an indescribable feeling, or fear, gradually emerged in his heart...
The fear came from nowhere and came so suddenly...
Then, Liu Shiba's pupils shrank sharply, all the nerves in his body were tightened, and his heart seemed to pop out of his chest.
"Pa..."
In an instant, all the green branches and leaves of the old pine tree withered and fell off, and the trunk three meters away from the root made a muffled sound and strangely broke apart.
The crack directly destroyed all life in the old tree, like a monster that could swallow everything.
A tall figure wearing a blood-red robe jumped out from the gap and stood on the last tree trunk that had not fallen off the cliff.
"roar……"
The figure in a blood-red robe clasped his hands behind his back, turned his head toward the sky and let out a roar that shook the mountains, with astonishing power.
The corners of the red robe fluttered in the wind, reflecting the red clouds that covered several meters of the body. It was both elegant and evil...
"ah……"
Liu Shiba's heart kept twitching, his limbs were stiff, and he couldn't help but kick and stiffen, but he couldn't get rid of the feeling of being bound and controlled by fear no matter what.
"Uh... I made your grandma!"
Finally unable to bear it anymore, Liu Shiba uttered a curse word, and his whole body was filled with strength. His limbs tensed violently and then released. Then his whole body relaxed, and then he ran away.
Turning around and running away, Liu Shiba didn't forget to look back and glance...
At this glance, I happened to see the red-robed figure looking up, with a pair of purple eyes exuding a faint purple light...
Fierce... This was Liu Shiba's last comment on these seemingly similar eyes!
And the figure covered in red robes jumped up the cliff like a ghost, following the fleeing Liu Shiba like a tarsal maggot. It neither made a move nor overtook, it just followed...
Liu Shiba looked at the ground and saw the huge figure reflected on his back. His heart was pounding with fear, his spine was cold and his throat was numb. He wanted to call Lao Jiu and Qin Da, but he couldn't make a sound.
No matter how hard he ran and how he tried to escape, he could never escape the huge shadow of the red figure on the ground.
Ziyun Mountain is my home, why can't I escape...
………………
As he ran, Liu Shiba's eyes fell into darkness again. His forehead felt cold and he woke up...
With a look of horror on his face, Liu Shiba sat up abruptly, the back of his hand felt cold, and then he raised his hand to wipe a handful of dense cold sweat on his forehead.
The piece of camouflage clothing on the vest was soaked with sweat from the inside out...
"Ah, cut..."
Liu Shiba stood up tremblingly and couldn't help but cover his mouth and sneeze.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Shiba raised his eyes and looked around, and there was no one around. It was eerily quiet, except for the sound of sneezing that spread far away, passing back and forth near the screen wall.
Qin Da, Lao Jiu, Du Shi, Li Huo, Yu Shu, Du Lan, Solanta and the ten soldiers were all missing.
Even the loyal old Hei didn’t know where he had gone!
"Whoosh!"
Instinctively, Liu Shiba moved his mind and took the metal rod in his hand from the dimensional space, secretly guarding it.
At the bottom of the screen wall, the wood residue accumulated by the fire and twilight was still burning, emitting bursts of light green poisonous gas.
Fortunately, the poisonous gas did not spread, and the place where Liu Shiba stood was temporarily safe.
"Lao Jiu, Qin Da, where are you?"
Liu Shiba endured it for a while, and finally shouted with all his strength. He discovered that in this ten-story Netherworld Tower, silence might be the most terrifying enemy.
After a while, the scenes in the dream and the frightening red figure replayed in Liu Shiba's mind again like a movie, making him take a breath again!
