In a world shrouded in gray fog, the light is already dim.
As the sun gradually sets over the mountain, the world of demons and spirits becomes even darker.
"No, you absolutely can't spend the night here." Du Yu thought to himself, holding a torch in one hand and turning to look at the team behind him.
The monsters clung to the tree wall and ran quickly, trying to catch up with Du Yu's speed. Lin Shiwei and Li Mengnan were riding behind, watching the sides and rear vigilantly.
"Nai!" Xiaobai suddenly let out a roar and stopped.
"What's wrong?" Du Yu turned around and looked forward.
A bloody scene appeared in his sight.
Dozens of monster beasts were pierced by branches and hung high in the air, dying in a miserable state.
They have different races, different sizes and shapes. The only thing they have in common is that they have all become corpses and are motionless.
"Tick-tock~tick..."
Little drops of blood were still dripping down, and the grass below was already a bright red. The blood seeped into the ground, exuding the slightest smell of blood.
Du Yu couldn't help but secretly exclaimed: "No wonder there are no monsters along the way."
These demonic plant barriers are not just tree walls blocking two worlds, but also a defense mechanism.
The smell of blood here is so strong, but no follow-up demon beasts came to search for the smell. Thinking about it, there should be no cold beasts nearby, and they were all executed by the demon plant barrier!
"Ah." Li Mengnan exclaimed softly. Even though she was used to fighting and had seen life and death, when had she ever seen such a bloody and terrifying "wall of corpses"?
"The demon plants all have spirituality and their own personalities." Lin Shiwei pursed her lips and continued, "The demon plants will follow the orders of the twin trees and seal this place to prevent the cold air from escaping.
And some demon plants, because of their personalities, will be more aggressive and directly clean up the contaminated cold beasts."
Li Mengnan: "Follow the orders of the twin trees?"
Lin Shiwei: "Or following the orders of the demon spirit troops, maybe both."
"Let's go." Du Yu tried to calm down, smelling the pungent smell of blood, and stayed more than ten meters away from the tree wall, and continued to move forward with the deer.
Simply staying more than ten meters away from the tree wall is obviously not enough.
In fact, when Du Yu discovered this "wall of corpses", it was already too late. They had already entered the attack range of the "radical" demon plant.
The reason why Yaozhi did not attack was that he recognized this team and was not infected by the cold air.
"Nai~" Xiaobai turned his head, looking like he couldn't bear to look directly.
The corpses of enemies hanging on sharp tree thorns are very intimidating!
But for the kind-hearted Chenlinglu, such a scene is too cruel.
The rear team carefully bypassed the bloody area, but under the leadership of Du Yu, they continued to march against the leaf wall.
No matter how other creatures felt, for Du Yu, he felt a little at ease!
What does this picture mean?
As long as he marches close to the tree wall, it is equivalent to having an army of backup!
Du Yu would never criticize Yaozhi for such a vicious behavior, because the cold beast is the enemy of this world!
To be precise, they are the enemies of the Twin Tree Civilization!
"Hurry up, move faster." Du Yu felt confident and shouted.
"Pa!" The two rose spirits followed the master's will and whipped the ground, urging the team of monsters to move forward quickly.
The crowd walked several hundred meters and encountered corpses of cold beasts one after another along the way. While they were frightened, Du Yu's surprised voice suddenly came from the front: "Soldier?"
"Um?"
"Is there anyone?" Lin Shiwei and Li Mengnan both looked happy and looked forward hurriedly.
Under the dim sky, the two of them could not see anything.
In Du Yu's sight, there were two tall figures wearing camouflage, standing in front of the leaf wall, reaching out to study something.
Upon hearing the shout, the two of them froze, turned around quickly, and merged into the layers of gray fog.
Du Yu:???
He, who was already urging the deer forward, immediately clamped his legs under the deer's belly: "Soldiers? We need help! We are from the Demon Spirit Academy..."
When Du Yu let go of Youying's torch, he held the antlers with one hand and braked suddenly.
In terms of speed, the two soldiers were obviously no match for the Chenling Deer, and it was only a matter of time before they were caught up.
But the problem is, the two suddenly separated?
One person went to the northwest, the other to the northeast, and the two ran away separately!
this......
Du Yu looked shocked and didn't speak for a long time.
"Du Yu?"
"Come back soon, Du Yu, let's not get separated." came the voices of Lin Shiwei and Li Mengnan.
Du Yu frowned, looked at the layers of gray fog, turned around and returned to the team.
Li Mengnan said hurriedly: "What's going on? Did you see the soldiers?"
Du Yu looked solemn and nodded: "Yes, they seem to be two soldiers."
A glimmer of hope suddenly rose in Li Mengnan's heart: "Where are they? Where are they?"
"That's the problem!" Du Yu looked puzzled, "Since they are demon soldiers, why did they run away after hearing my cry for help?"
Obviously, this is not the behavior that demon soldiers should do!
Lin Shiwei asked: "Are you sure you are a demon soldier?"
Du Yu hesitated: "Well... they are all wearing camouflage uniforms, and their clothes are a little tattered, as if they have experienced a war.
You know what’s even weirder?”
"What?"
Du Yu paused and said, "They ran separately!"
Seeing the astonished expressions on the two women's faces, Du Yu continued: "Chenlinglu could definitely catch up with the two of them, but they suddenly ran away separately.
I felt something was wrong, so I stopped."
The whole process that Du Yu described was a bit strange.
There was even a frightening atmosphere, which made Li Mengnan's hair stand on end: "Are you hallucinating? Du Yu, you haven't been invaded by the cold air in your brain, right? You must be careful..."
Lin Shiwei suddenly spoke, interrupting Li Mengnan's words: "Have you seen their faces?"
Du Yu was stunned for a moment, recalled carefully for a moment, and finally shook his head: "No, the sky is too dark..."
As he said that, Du Yu asked in his mind: "Xiao Fenyang? You saw it just now, right?"
"Yeah, I saw it, those two people are so strange~"
Lin Shiwei said softly: "Maybe it's a monster that can take human form, such as a water phantom."
"That's not right, Third Sister." Li Mengnan whispered, "The water phantom should be attacking us. How could it escape? And it's so close to the tree wall. The cold beast should be stabbed to death."
"Let's go, let's not make random guesses." Du Yu said. The world shrouded in gray fog was already gloomy enough, but suddenly another ghost story came up.
Du Yu didn't want to stay in this miserable place for a minute longer!
Who knows if those two weird soldiers will turn back and quietly follow the crowd?
If it weren't for Du Yu's poor health, he really should have looked around with the Eye of Burning Sun.
But Du Yu could only see for 1 or 2 seconds, and after seeing through the fog, there would be a period of weakness. Under such circumstances, he obviously could not make such an unwise move.
"Yes, let's go quickly." Lin Shi's only hand was holding antlers, "Since the leaf wall provides us with security, I think we can speed up!"
"OK!"
At the same time, at the entrance to the gate of the Demonic Realm.
The streets were brightly lit.
Troops stood in groups, majestic and silent.
There were even groups of troops, taking advantage of the short period of time when the branches spread out, to rush towards the strange realm of demon spirits, regardless of the cold air that hit their faces, and kept moving forward!
They were also competing for time with the cold air coming out. As soon as the team's front feet entered it, endless branches quickly sealed it.
"Next team, next team! Hurry, get ready!" rough voices sounded one after another, and in a neat square formation, another group of demon soldiers quickly came to the entrance gate.
However, just as the soldiers stood still, the wall of trees suddenly spread out again.
"It's out, it's finally out!"
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot, a group of soldiers who were dusty from the weather and carrying endless cold air came out with more than a dozen practitioners.
For a moment, gray fog overflowed at the gate.
The medical soldiers who had been waiting for a long time rushed forward, one by one, and moved away from the door.
"Name!" The soldiers stepped forward one after another, holding admission lists in their hands, and quickly compared them.
"Stop crying, you are safe. Did anyone inhale the cold air by mistake?"
"Send one more team to the north gate and two to the east gate. Act immediately!"
Outside the gate, the east side was in chaos, but the neatly arranged phalanx on the west side was motionless and silent.
"Attention, open the door!"
Uh-huh...
The branches at the gate spread again, and the strong cold air surged outwards. Teams of soldiers looked firm and rushed in.
"叏lvlv~"
Suddenly, the sound of a horse neighing came from the horizon.
For a moment, everyone looked up.
As the behemoth rushed downwards, the huge ghost-like body quietly shattered and merged into the woman's forehead.
A woman in a gorgeous dress falls floating down:
"Song Guta, Yang Qingqing."
"Qingshi." Several soldiers stepped forward quickly.
"Master Qing, your apprentice hasn't come out yet. We have orders from our superiors, and we hope you can cooperate with us. The Twin Trees in Area 5 need your help very much."
"Yeah." Yang Qingqing was expressionless and strode forward.
"Qingshi, please bring your equipment, we will contact you at any time."
Yang Qingqing casually put on the invisible earphones, and without stopping, went straight to the tree wall.
Under the horrified gazes of everyone, the diffuse cold mist quickly fled.
Everywhere Yang Qingqing passed was clear and clear.
"The situation of the twin trees is gradually stabilizing. Our people have straightened the trees and planted them back. We are further maintaining the stability of the twin trees."
The soldier quickly followed up and quickly reported the situation: "But the soldiers cannot work in it for too long. Our demon breaths are all one-time use, and the rotation frequency is too fast. You need to go to the fifth area - Twin Tree immediately....
..”
Yang Qingqing finally stopped and stood in front of the leaf wall: "Open the door."
"The next team comes quickly and goes in with the young master!" The soldier hurriedly raised his hand and greeted, "Open the door!"
Swish.
The branches and leaves were rolling in layers, but what was different from before was that this time, no cold air came out.
But Yang Qingqing, who should have taken steps forward, was stunned in place.
Not only her, but the soldiers behind her also opened their eyes wide.
In front of me, there is a young man riding a dust spirit deer, holding a torch in his hand, shining forward...
"Qingshi?"
Du Yu's voice was trembling.
He had never dreamed of such a beautiful picture.
Du Yu's back is shrouded in gray fog and surrounded by dangers. It's not an exaggeration to call it an abyss!
In front of him, countless soldiers stood in a row, and the lights were brightly lit.
There is also a familiar figure with a fluttering long skirt, standing quietly.
It's like...like taking him home.
At this moment, Yang Qingqing's frost-covered face finally gradually eased.
For her, the journey from Songgu Pagoda to Shiyan City was undoubtedly an extremely painful journey.
She has a protégé.
A disciple who brought her countless surprises and filled her with longing.
However, she threw her apprentice into the quagmire with her own hands.
During the extremely painful journey, Yang Qingqing was already prepared for the worst, but when she stood in front of the tree wall...
Not too early, not too late, everything is just right.
He stood here, calling her name with surprise on his face.
Yang Qingqing slowly raised her hand and touched Du Yu's cheek: "You're okay."
Under the gazes of the soldiers, Du Yu looked a little unnatural. He lowered his head slightly and said softly: "Yes."
Yang Qingqing noticed Du Yu's strangeness, and also put down his palm and looked aside.
Lin Shiwei and Li Mengnan were both there. They got off the deer one after another and bowed their heads to greet each other respectfully.
At the feet of the two of them, there was a group of monsters with frightened expressions and trembling bodies.
"Hey~" Yunjin Lamb came to Lei Guangbao's feet and called softly.
The sharp-edged rock monkey even hid behind Bai Lu's snowy hooves, looking around in panic.
Without unnecessary questioning, Yang Qingqing could imagine how dangerous and difficult the disciples' journey would be.
Behind the scenes, the soldiers who had been explaining tasks to Yang Qingqing couldn't help but feel secretly speechless.
What a good boy, he is worthy of being a disciple of the young master!
Others are too busy to take care of themselves, and it is difficult for them to escape. They endure the fear and collapse and wait for the troops to rescue them. Have you heard the cries outside the door?
The soldiers' eyes were opened today. For the first time, they saw that someone could rescue a team of monsters!
Moreover, there are monsters of different races, different habits, and a large team mixed together!
In the army, there is a type of soldiers who are called saviors. And the boy in front of him is more like a real savior!
Yang Qingqing turned to look at the soldiers behind him: "Let my apprentice stay here. He has the same physique as me and can prevent the cold air from gushing out."
The soldier nodded repeatedly.
Du Yu: "Qingshi, what do you want?"
"I'll go take a look under the tree. You wait for me at the door."
Du Yu: "Shall I go with you?"
"No, you stay here with the soldiers. The battlefield is not the place you should go yet." Yang Qingqing said, passing by Du Yu.
"By the way, Qingshi!" Du Yu grabbed Yang Qingqing's arm.
"Huh?" Yang Qingqing turned around and looked.
Du Yu hurriedly said: "On the way back, I met two mysterious people, they were wearing camouflage uniforms and looked like soldiers.
But they ignored my request for help and ran into the gray fog as soon as they met our team."
"Ah?" From behind, a soldier hurriedly stepped forward and dragged Du Yu aside, "Where did you meet him? Please tell me in detail!"
