When we walked to the west of the sun, the surrounding scenery finally changed from a barrenness of no grass. Slowly, green grass and shrubs began to appear, and the sound of gurgling water could be heard in my ears.

They walked all day under the sun in this way, and they were exhausted. Yan Danqiang supported herself without complaining a word. After all, she was the least capable of the four. If she still had a face to complain, it would be too unreasonable. She pursed her lips and felt even more dry after hearing the sound of Ruoyoruowu. She carefully distinguished all the subtle sounds in her ears, but the murmur of water became clearer and clearer.

Yan Dan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: Fortunately, it wasn't that she was so thirsty that she was hearing hallucinations...

But when she ran to the water with joy, she was dumbfounded. Although this stream is living water, there are just sticky, turbid green masses floating down the terrain. She hadn't lowered her body yet, but a strong stench came on her face.

Yu Mo looked into the water and said flatly, "I wonder what is floating in this water?"

Yan Dan wanted to cry without tears, no matter what disgusting thing was in the water, there was an ancient echo in her heart: there is no water, no water...If there is no water to drink, she will die of thirst...

Tang Zhou looked down for a while, and finally shook his head: "I can't see what it is, but it's a bit like—" Yan Danzheng shook his heart, tremblingly stretched out his hand into the stream, and immediately said: "Don't Speak out!" But it was too late, Tang Zhou put down two words in a loud voice: "...worm eggs."

Yan Dan collapsed and pulled Tang Zhou's lapels: "Dare you not thirsty or tired? I told you not to say it, you still said..."

I saw Liu Weiyang step forward, knelt on one knee by the stream, and slowly stretched out his hand to hold up a handful of water, and silently splashed it on his face, then picked up some more, and took a sip without expression.

Yan Dan looked dumbfounded, and only one sentence reverberated in his heart: He drank, he drank, he really drank it... Before she could recover from the shock, I saw Yu Mo lowered himself. Slowly picked up a handful of stream water. She naturally knew that, based on their current situation, if they didn’t drink water, I was afraid that they could not support the time when they could not find the next source of water. They just let her drink such dirty water, whether it was in my heart or in the past few years. The body can't stand it.

She grabbed Tang Zhou's sleeve and asked in a trembling voice, "Will you drink this kind of stream water?"

Tang Zhou looked at her and said in a declarative tone: "You dare not drink."

"Of course I dare not drink, this is not a shameful thing! You smell this stench, look at this green insect egg, if you pinch it with your hand, you will definitely burst out a pool of green dirty water... …"

Yu Mo turned his head to look at her, with a bad tone: "Yan Dan!" He took out a silk kerchief, soaked in the water without wringing it out, turned around and handed it to her.

Yan Dan silently took the things in his hands, wiped her face unwillingly, moistened her pale lips, and took the silk paw with **** and looked at it, wondering:" Yu Mo, why do you still carry the silk paw with you?" She unfolded the silk paw and looked at the picture of a hundred birds striving for spring from top to bottom carefully: "Look at this stitch or Bailing embroidery. Yes, it was so ruined by you."

When Liu Weiyang saw that they had all drunk water, he said unhurriedly: "This is not an ordinary worm egg, it is a corpse."

Yan Dan covered her lips with her hand, and lost her voice: "Corps..." She knows that corpse is a kind of bug that eats corpses. She remembered that she had teased a local in that small restaurant in Qingshi Town, but she didn't expect the retribution to be unhappy, and it was her turn in the end. After all, it's one thing to talk about it, it's another thing to actually swallow it.

"Look at these worm eggs, I don't know how many corpses are around here. The road ahead should not be easy, and you need to keep an eye on it." Liu Weiyang finished speaking, and his sleeves fluttered away.

Yan Dan was terribly disgusted, only to feel itching on her face, and quickly threw the silk paw on her hand aside. Although Bailing's embroidery is exquisite, it is better to throw it away if it has been stained.

Wherever the group passed, the grass and trees were uplifted, and there began to be patches of woods. Against the faint setting sun on the horizon, a group of wild wolf-sized beasts are lying on the ground, stretching their claws to comb their fur, looking very docile and harmless.

They did not move when Yan Dan walked over. She couldn't help but glanced more, and saw one of them suddenly stood up and trembled. There was a thud in her heart, and she saw a face that was a bit longer than an ordinary person's face on the beast's body, her eyes were dull, but a few red blood streaks broke out in an instant.

A total of six human-faced badgers, even before she had time to blink, they rushed forward with a roar. Previously, only one made her messy, but now six came all at once, and she couldn't think of any other way besides running away. I saw Liu Weiyang drew the short sword from the jade flute to fend off a human-faced badger, with a stern tone: "Walk along the curved path!"

The human-faced badger pounces very fast. If it goes straight, it is easy to be caught by them.

Yan Dan just ran away a few steps, only to hear the cold wind behind him, and quickly lowered his body and rolled forward, avoiding a human-faced badger that was flying. She didn't even have time to stand up, and the second claw rushed from the diagonal. Yan Dan had to scramble away two steps embarrassedly, dodged, and happened to have a face-to-face encounter with another human-faced badger. I saw that weird face was close at hand, almost touching the tip of her nose to her face.

Yan Dan's face was pale and his whole body stiffened.

I saw Aomori's cold light flashing, and a string of blood beads splashed out. The human-faced badger raised his head in anger and roared, and rushed towards the sword. When Yan Dan saw the opportunity, he immediately stepped aside, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Yu Mo who had drawn the sword. The moment he shook the sword, a blue light and shadow appeared on the spine of the sword, like a dragon or a fish, straight out of the abdomen of the human-faced badger.

For a time, Yan Dan only caught a glimpse of blood dripping, and what other*, white flowers fell on the floor. The remaining few human-faced badgers were shocked by this scene, gritted their claws and hissed in their throats, but did not dare to step forward.

Yu Mo stretched out his hand to hold her wrist and strode forward. Yan Dan was led by him, and couldn't help but wonder if Yu Mo couldn't practice more beautiful and less lethal magic arts? So every time it’s not a violent storm or a laparotomy, it’s too bloody...

She was thinking like this, and suddenly she felt the strength of her wrist tightened, and Yu Mo's steady footsteps suddenly staggered. Yan Dan felt that something was not right, so he hurriedly went closer and saw that on the other side of his face, the corners of his eyes were still swollen with blood stains. His eyes were hurt like this, and it was very hard to open them, let alone looking at the way. No wonder he was erratic just now.

Yu Mo turned his face away, and smiled indifferently: "It's okay, you just watch the road."

Yan Dan obediently replied, and helped his arm to walk as flat as possible: "Your eyes..."

"Some skin trauma, it's okay."

"Really, you were badly injured last time and it was OK."

"...Don't look at me, look at the road."

Yan Dan had to stare straight ahead, not knowing if it was an illusion. She was walking on the flat ground, but she felt that the ground was shaking slightly. She had to think to herself, this should be her illusion. It's good, how could the flat ground shake? This is not the mortal world, how could there be such a thing as an earthquake?

Just listen to Liu Weiyang’s as always calm voice coming from the diagonally behind: "Go west!"

Yan Dan subconsciously followed what he said. After all, he has been the most reliable companion since he entered the demon state until now. She climbed all the way along the mountain road to the west, and when she looked up, her heart was cold: there was no way to go before her, only an empty cliff.

In the moment she hadn't fully reacted, she felt that someone pushed herself hard from behind. Yan Dan was unstable and fell straight down the cliff. Her eyes were quick and her hands were quick, she immediately let go of Yu Mo's arm, and reached out to grab the vine growing on the side of the inclined wall. She fell down on her own, couldn't she still drag Yu Mo down? His eyes were hurt...

Fortunately, Yan Dan's luck is not bad, so he can still touch the vines. She turned her head laboriously, only a glimpse of Sen Leng's sword aura passing by from the corner of her eyes, and the life-saving vines she was clutching immediately broke into several pieces.

Behind the sword gas, there are pale white sleeves blowing in the wind, and the person's indifferent, unwavering eyes.

Yan Dan didn't know if he was dead. If he fell from such a high place, he would lose half of his life even if he had a demon-like bodyguard. But now she is lying peacefully in a soft swamp, her hands and feet are fine.

When she first fell into the swamp, she struggled a few times in shock, and soon discovered that the harder she struggled, the faster she sank, and she lay there without moving. After a while, I found that the swamp was still flowing slowly and pushed her slowly to the shore.

Yan Dan looked at the sky above her head and thought with a little annoyance that Liu Weiyang had been opposed to them all the time, because he entered the demon state together, and became a companion. And she was so stupid that she was no longer wary of him. She was pushed off the cliff this time, completely asking for it.

After only about half a cup of tea, she felt her back touch the ground and tried her best to climb up. My feet had just stepped on the ground, and I only heard a loud rumbling noise coming from a distance, resounding like thunder, echoing constantly in the valley. Yan Dan calmed down to discern the direction of the voice. It seemed to be coming from the cliff where she fell. So what happened after she fell?

She couldn't care if her clothes were dirty by the swamp, so she hurried away.

She clearly remembered that she fell off a cliff and fell into the swamp. The rock wall below the cliff was slightly inclined, with smooth tentacles, and there was no place to climb. But in front of me, there are no cliffs, only large tracts of small hills, and even mortals who are not capable of martial arts can climb up.

Yan Dan was shocked, what went wrong? Could it be because in the magical appearance of the magical tool Chumo, she went to another completely unfamiliar place after falling off the cliff? Right now, she is the only one left.

Yan Dan stood there slightly in a daze, before finally discerning the direction and walking forward alone.

If the demons are as true as Liu Weiyang said, at least half of them have seen the things inside. Then Yu Mo and Tang Zhou should be able to deal with the dangers ahead, but she and Liu Weiyang are really worrying. Whether Liu Weiyang is alive or dead, she doesn't care. Most importantly, she must save her life.

Yan Dan walked a long way in the mountains and forests, and the road under her feet gradually widened. From the distance, you can see the blue smoke rising in the air. She couldn't help but stunned. The smoky smoke in the distance was probably the smoke from ordinary people cooking and boiling water. Is there someone still living here?

She walked a few steps closer, and the cottages in the distant village gradually became clear in her eyes. Cooking smoke, sunsets, and noise always give people a sense of stability when they are unstable.

Yan Dan speeded up involuntarily, and when he walked under the lush old tree, there was a sudden splash on the top of his head, the branches and leaves swayed, and the broken leaves fell, but a face suddenly lay before her eyes.

The muscles on the face twitched and stiff, the complexion was pale, his eyes widened, and he stared at her.

This was too sudden, Yan Dan quickly took three steps back and took a closer look. He exhaled and murmured, "It turns out that it's just a dead person. I thought it was something strange again. ……"

Yan Dan raised his head and took a closer look at the corpse that was hung upside down in the tree. The corpse was dressed in a plain white shirt with no hair tied, just casually tied with a white rope.

In this situation, this person is a human sacrifice.

Human sacrifice is the sacrifice of a living person to a certain god. This is a kind of sacrificial ritual that often existed in ancient times, and the more it was in the wild land, the more common it was. Most of the human sacrifices were chosen when the person was underage, or even when he was just born. After he reached adulthood, he put on white clothes and gave it to the gods being sacrificed. Sometimes, when there is flooding, there are places where the selected living people will be put on the raft together with the sacrifices by lottery to make sacrifices to the river god.

Yan Dan suddenly recalled that Liu Weiyang was wearing a pale white robe. He had said that he was approached by Tao Zizhen, but she didn’t believe it much. Thinking about it this way, he should have wanted to Just send it in as an adult festival? She took a close look at her surroundings. It was a mountain and forest. There did not seem to be any ferocious beasts around. Then who was this person to sacrifice to? Why did she have such a painful and stiff expression on her face?

Yan Dan became curious for a while, stretched out his hand to pull out the hairpin, turning it into a long jade sword, and gently slashing across the collar of the man's sacrifice. I saw that the skin under the neckline was all bluish-black dots, large and small, and the small ones were slightly smaller than the copper coins, but the big ones had the palm of the hand.

She was disturbed, looking at the village in front of her from a distance, and she still saw the peaceful scene of smoke in front of her. Yan Dan stood there, wondering whether he would take the road to the village, or would rather take more roads around.

Many times, the unknowable is far more frightening than the known dangerous. You don't know what will happen before, and you don't know what it will bring you.

Yan Dan thought for a moment, and decided to borrow from the village directly. If he is lucky, he might be able to spend the night there.

She was about to lift her foot to walk forward, only to hear a click, a branch above her head broke, and the corpse suddenly sank two feet. Yan Dan looked forward, right at the abdomen of the corpse. The upper hem of the corpse had been completely shattered, just revealing the tattered lower abdomen. I saw that the corpse’s lower abdomen was packed with black corpses, as if the man’s corpse was used as a nest, with layers of green worm eggs stuck in it, which were exactly the same as the ones she had seen before by the stream. .

Yan Dan only felt a nausea rushing to his throat, his feet were soft, and he almost fell to the ground. A cold hand suddenly stretched out from behind and gently covered her mouth. Yan Dan immediately smelled a faint, if there was no scent of sandalwood, but there was still a little blood in the scent of sandalwood.

Just listen to Liu Weiyang's voice whispering in her ears: "Quiet."
