Chapter 304: Aspirations and Killing Monsters
"Any clues? Haha." Song Nichang sneered twice.
We have arrived at Peach Blossom Valley, does it matter if we have any clues?
Even the stupid pig arrived in Peach Blossom Village and after listening to the old man's words, he knew that the forbidden area was related to the ghost dragon. There were no dragon beads in it but there were things left by the ghost dragon.
The old man spoke slowly, his voice hoarse, "Everyone who comes to Peach Blossom Valley, I will advise them not to enter. It is too dangerous inside. If you don't experience it once, you can't understand the despair of living in a forbidden land. I and the people of Peach Blossom Village are The lucky one found the exit and escaped from the forbidden area. Although he couldn't leave, he could still live a normal life without having to worry day and night.
There are still many people who are trapped in the forbidden area and cannot come out. Some people have reached the exit and cannot leave, and they are desperate to survive.
I have advised many people, but so far no one has listened. I don’t know what attracts you in the forbidden area, but one thing I know very well is that nothing can compare to your own life. Please think carefully before making a decision. "
"Did anyone who went in before come out?" Li Jiu asked.
The old man nodded, "Three of them escaped, but most of them were trapped inside. A few found the exit, but couldn't get out."
"Do you know their names?"
"There was a young man named Ye Wudi who escaped. When he entered, he promised us that he would destroy the forbidden area so that we could get out of the Peach Blossom Valley. Ten days later, he escaped. His breath was weak and he almost died." The old man recalled.
Song Nishang whispered: "I have heard of the Ye family in the Imperial City, and he is one of the most outstanding geniuses of the Ye family today."
Even Ye Wudi returned without success, and that idiot Holy Son still dared to go in. Did he really think he was better than Ye Wudi?
Ye Wudi is backed by the Ye family, and he is still a direct descendant. He must have means to save his life. How can the Holy Son of the Wuqing Sect be able to compare?
The Buddhist disciples of Leiyin Temple can still compete with each other. Buddhism is the most protective of shortcomings. Buddhist disciples usually bring many life-saving treasures with them when traveling.
What sect is the Wuqing Sect? Don't expect the sect to give you any shocking treasures if it is an impersonal sect.
Rather than potential, the Wuqing Sect values strength more. Whether it is a saint son or a saint, only if you are strong enough can you enjoy more resources and get better treasures.
In the words of outsiders, ‘the saintly son and saintly daughter of the Wuqing Sect is worthless. ’
"Let's go in and take a look." Li Jiu said.
Song Nishang nodded and followed Li Jiu's footsteps into the forbidden area.
All the villagers in Peach Blossom Valley stared at the backs of the two people. The old man felt regretful and sighed deeply, "Martial arts are harmful to people. In the face of curses, powerful warriors are as weak as ants."
The entrance to the forbidden area was a cave. As soon as Li Jiu stepped into it, the scenery in front of him changed rapidly.
He did not enter the mountain, but was in a strange place. He looked up and saw a bright sun in the sky, with a few white clouds moving in the wind.
There is blue-black earth under your feet. If you keep staring at the ground, you will feel uneasy, as if something is coming.
"Space, doom." Li Jiu murmured.
Song Nishang turned around and saw that there was no entrance. Behind them was a wall with a unicorn image engraved on it. It looked very old and might collapse at any time.
"The entrance has disappeared. Is it an illusion?"
Song Nishang walked around behind the Qilin wall and her pupils shrank suddenly.
A big, ruined city!
Most of the city walls have collapsed, houses have collapsed, flowers, plants and trees are lush, and wisps of dark air rise from all over the city, reaching Qingming, creating a ruined scene.
"It's not an illusion, but what is that city? I don't remember the Tianyuan Dynasty disappearing an entire city!" Song Nichang said.
Bang~
Stones rolled down.
A figure climbed out of the ruins. The upper body was bent, the head stretched forward, the hands and feet were very thin, skinny and bones, with no flesh.
"Someone is coming in again, haha, why are you coming in? Why are you coming in? Isn't it good to live outside?" The figure made a deep voice.
She scratched her hair hard, not caring about the bleeding. Soon her fingernails were covered with blood and skin flakes mixed together. "It's not fair, it's not fair! Why can't we go out when we want to? What's going on outside?" People still want to come in, I want to go out, I want to go out!”
The figure ran very slowly, and her body shook as she ran. Before she reached the Qilin wall, she fell to the ground with a plop. She raised her head, and her black hair was scattered on both sides of her face, revealing a childish face.
She stretched out her hand towards the Qilin wall, her eyes filled with deathly gray, and despair had completely eroded this short body, "Stop talking, I understand, what are you looking for?"
The short figure stood up unsteadily, completely ignoring the dust on her body. Perhaps she was used to it. She turned and walked towards the ruins not far away, "Follow me, it's getting dark, what are you looking for?" We have to look for things tomorrow. If we look for them at night, we will die.”
The short figure's home was in the ruins. She took Li Jiu and Song Nichang to the ruins, opened up a stone slab, and jumped down.
Song Nishang withdrew her mental perception and said, "There is no danger."
Then he and Li Jiu jumped down.
This is a cellar, not deep. Li Jiu can reach the top of the cellar by raising his hand.
The short figure first lit the oil lamp, then stepped on the stones to block the entrance to the cellar.
She gave Li Jiu and Song Nishang a piece of charcoal and wood each, "Take the lightning strike wood and charcoal, and don't throw them away after sleeping, otherwise the evil monster will smell them."
Li Jiu held the lightning strike wood and mentally penetrated it. Except for a little bit of the residual breath of thunder, there was nothing special about it. It stands to reason that this kind of thing cannot block perception, nor can it erase a person's breath.
"What exactly is a demon?"
The short figure scratched his head in distress, "Don't ask such profound questions. I don't know. I'm just an ordinary person, not a warrior. Where can I find out the nature of the evil demon? I only know that the evil demon is very strong and won't Completely dead, they wander in the forbidden area and devour living people. If they cannot eat living people, the evil monsters will become stronger and stronger, which is very troublesome. "
Song Nishang suddenly asked, "Who are you?"
The short figure was silent for a while, and his chapped lips opened, "Who am I? I forgot, living in a place like this, names are not important."
"Have you seen a lot of people coming in?"
"I've seen some, some are very arrogant, don't listen to advice, and dare to act outside at night. They must have died long ago. Others are similar. They left after asking questions. If you want to leave, remember to help me block the entrance. Stay." The short figure said.
"You don't want to drink water? You shouldn't need to drink water when you first come in. I don't have much water here."
"Is the outside world as good as the legend says? There is no danger, no need to hide here and there, you can get water from the river when you are thirsty, and you can go out to see the stars at night? What do the stars look like?
I heard from my mother that people outside can eat meat, which is very fragrant and delicious, and there are also steamed buns. Although I have never eaten it, my mother said it is delicious. It must be delicious. Have you brought any? Can you give me a bite? I can tell you any news. "
The short figure spoke excitedly, dancing with his hands, his eyes full of longing for a normal life.
She said a lot, and after she finished speaking, she sat on the ground, her blurry eyes were very bright at this time, looking at the two of them expectantly.
Song Nishang felt pity and wanted to reach out and touch the short figure's head, but the other person suddenly avoided it.
"What are you going to do?" The short figure stared at Song Nishang warily.
Song Nichang silently retracted her hand, "Sorry, I didn't bring any food with me."
She usually takes Bigu Pills when she is hungry. One pill can keep her from being hungry for thirty days.
"That's it." The short figure was lost, as were the people before. No one brought food.
She liked Song Nichang more than the people in front of her because Song Nichang had a nice voice and those people were giving orders to her, while Song Nichang was asking her questions and treating her as a human being.
Li Jiu turned his palm and took out a cooking cake from the storage ring, "Eat it."
The short figure's eyes lit up, "Can you really eat it directly?"
"Okay." Li Jiu took out another cake and took two bites.
The short figure couldn't wait to bite it, and choked as expected. He quickly took out the water he had saved and took a big gulp before swallowing the cake in his throat.
"It's delicious. You are a good person." The corners of the short figure's mouth raised, very happy.
Li Jiu ate the cooking cake slowly, "How long have you lived here?"
The short figure shook his head, "I don't know."
Song Nishang looked at the two people eating cooking cakes and couldn't help but feel strange that such a powerful talent as Li Jiu actually put cooking cakes in the storage ring!
"Any more?"
Li Jiu took out another piece and put it in Song Nishang's hand, "Eat it, a good friend of mine gave it to me."
Song Nishang took a small bite. The taste was very ordinary, worse than the cooking cakes she had eaten. "What do you think?"
"Evil demons and water, let's start with these two." Li Jiu ate half of the cake in one bite.
"You want to kill the evil demon?" The short figure raised his head.
"Um."
"The evil demon is very dangerous. If you kill the evil demon, the evil demon will be resurrected at night the next day and will bring a stronger evil demon to come to you for revenge. Humans cannot kill the evil demon."
Unable to kill?
Li Jiu was silent, he didn't believe it.
