fool around

The ground cracked, rocks crumbled, and crimson lava poured from the fissures of the mountains.

Si Yu's blood-red pupils couldn't stop trembling, his eyes were blood-red, and he could hardly see anything, his ears seemed to be huge bellows, whistling a huge and hollow sound of wind.

Can't stop, must be fast...

This was the only thought left in his mind. Qi Lu, who was leaning against him, was breathing weaker and weaker. Blood races were born with no body temperature. Even in the dog days, their bodies were cold, but Qi Lu was burning hot at this time, with broken wounds. One after another, blood drops ooze out and penetrate into the deep black soil.

Si Yu couldn't see his face clearly, and ran forward recklessly, yelling hoarsely over and over again: "Qi Lu...Qi Lu..."

Qi Lu didn't even have the strength to open his eyes. There were black bubbles floating in his mind one after another. He reached out and grabbed one, the bubbles burst, and countless black and white pictures appeared in front of his eyes one after another.

He saw the mountain where he lived when he was a child, which was the northern tip of the mainland, and there was a year-round snow on the top of the mountain; he saw the crab demon, who fell in love with a human being and wanted to follow the human being to leave; he saw his father sitting on the table. While teaching him to read and write, telling him to be tall, upright, and have a spine that will never be bent by the wind and snow; he saw his mother holding his hand on the throne, and said to him Lu, you are about to become this The guardian of this continent, you will do better than me and your father... He saw his parents preparing to leave on a snowy morning, and there was a great turmoil in the south, and they had to take over that new land; Then, he saw blood, bones, countless hideous faces and broken facial features. He saw his mother asking him to suck her blood dry before she died. He saw himself staggering to the human territory to go to a desperate negotiation alone. In the boxy coffin bed in the closed hut, he saw Yong Ye.

Finally, those black bubbles disappeared, and he wanted to reach out and grab them, to tell them not to go away, to show him his parents, his friends, his family, and the snow-capped mountain, but he couldn't keep all of them. , he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand.

Lonely, Qi Lu.

A feeling of sadness suddenly surged in his chest, and for a moment, he thought to forget about it, forget about any leader's responsibilities and missions.

For more than 100 years, he has lived too lonely.

"Qi Lu...Qi Lu..."

Someone seemed to be calling his name in the dark, who was calling him?

A weak but firm call came from his ears, Qi Lu seemed to be grasping a piece of driftwood in the ups and downs, and the gears in his brain that had been soaked in blood began to rotate slowly...

"Qi Lu, don't be afraid, hold on..."

It's Si Yu!

The darkness in front of him was suddenly illuminated by a gleam of light. He followed the light and saw a thin and thin figure in the place where the light was flickering.

He could recognize it at a glance, it was Si Yu, his human being, and his bride.

Qi Lu's dark eyelashes trembled violently. After a while, he slowly raised his heavy eyelids and tried to look at Si Yu beside him. Shocking bloodstains were all over his pale as snow face. Qi Lu wanted to ask him what's wrong. I want to ask him if it hurts, but there is only a futile sound in my throat.

"..."

Relying on his memory and the blurry outline in front of his eyes, Si Yu dragged Qi Lu through a field of reeds with half support and half pull. Suddenly there was a sound of panicked footsteps in front of him. Si Yu's heart tightened, and he turned around subconsciously. Protecting Qi Lu, he asked sharply, "Who!"

"It's me." The person who came saw their blood-stained appearance, and there was a cry in his voice, "Why... come with me!"

It's Ruan Ruan.

Si Yu's highly tense nerves were loosened all the way, and when Ruan Ruan took Qi Lu, his legs suddenly lost strength, his brain felt dizzy, and he fell straight to the ground.

"Si Yu!" Ruan Ruan exclaimed.

Hearing the sound, Qi Lu tightened his fingers, and gropingly stretched out his hand to hold him, but his palm could only touch the cold air.

Si Yu was lying on the ground, his chest was heaving sharply, his heart was beating wildly as if he was out of control, and there were bursts of sharp pain in his temple, as if someone was hammering a sharp nail into it inch by inch with a huge hammer.

"Siyu!" Ruan Ruan had already struggled to support Qi Lu, and had no choice but to help Siyu, so he could only ask anxiously, "How is it? Can you stand up?"

"...cough cough"

The heart retracted violently, Si Yu raised his hand to hold his chest tightly, and suddenly coughed uncontrollably.Ruan Ruan opened her eyes wide, watching the blood gushing out of his mouth in shock, she opened her mouth helplessly, and a string of tears fell down.

"He..." Qi Lu couldn't figure out where Si Yu was, and made a tearing voice with difficulty, "How about..."

Ruan Ruan resisted the sourness in his throat: "It's okay, he's okay."

Suddenly, Qi Lu's palm stiff in the air felt a soft familiar temperature.

Si Yu supported the ground with one hand, and slowly reached Qi Lu's palm with the other.

"...I'm here," Si Yu staggered and stood up from the ground, "I'm here..."

Ruan Ruan looked around on tiptoe, and said in a low voice, "No one, let's go."

With the help of Ruan Ruan, they entered a hidden cave. This is the place Si Yu had prepared for today's battle. In the center of the cave was a huge disc made of stacked stones, like some kind of ancient solemnity. sacrificial utensils.

The last trace of Qi Lu's strength also disappeared. He leaned against the mountain wall, breathing so lightly that he could hardly hear him, and the scarred black wings sprouted uncontrollably from the position of the shoulder blades on his back.

Half of his left wing was cut off during the fierce battle, and a viscous blue-black liquid dripped from the fracture, giving off a smell similar to burning gasoline.

Si Yu knelt beside him, wiping the bloodstains all over his face.

His eyes were hurt, and he could only vaguely see the outline of Qi Lu in front of him, but it was enough, fortunately he was familiar enough with Qi Lu's body.

Ruan Ruan followed Si Yu's previous instructions and stood guard at the entrance of the cave to see if anyone was approaching. She was anxious and worried, and when she heard rustling noises in the cave, she couldn't help but look back, her pupils constricted suddenly, and she covered her mouth and let out a cry of fear. Extremely exclaimed.

——Si Yu took off Qi Lu's coat, and there was a deep knife wound on the heart of the leader of the blood clan!

Then, Ruan Ruan saw Si Yu take out a mahogany sword from her arms, she suddenly lost color, and couldn't believe what she saw.

Si Yu stabbed Qi Lu in the heart with a mahogany sword? !

Impossible, if this is the case, there is no way Qi Lu is still alive!

boom--

There was another sound of wooden materials falling to the ground, Ruan Ruan settled down and saw that the second mahogany sword appeared!

The sword Si Yu used to stab the mixed race was real, but the sword used to stab Qi Lu was fake. The purpose was to test whether the mahogany sword could kill a mixed race with a human in its body at the same time.

He discussed with Qi Lu that the mixed-races are very suspicious and cautious, and they hired human teachers one after another to enter the village to test who can use this wooden sword, even though he has already believed that only descendants of the Si family can use the wooden sword. The ability to eliminate demons, but in his mind, he shouldn't hand over the wooden sword to Si Yu so simply.

Unless, he knew early on that the Taomu sword couldn't kill him.

Or he knew early on that the human Fan Tianxing in his body was his best amulet.

From this point of view, a hybrid with both a demon body and a human body is almost invincible. If you want to fight him, you must first let him relax his vigilance.

In order to deceive the world, Qi Lu embedded a blade in this fake peach sword. At the last moment, this fake sword was their last reliance and retreat.

The sword did penetrate into Qi Lu's chest, and the sharp blade in the fake wooden sword could still pierce the skin and cut blood vessels. It could seriously injure Qi Lu, but it was not enough to kill a pure blood.

Under the eyes of everyone, the monsters witnessed their leader being pierced through the heart by the wooden sword of the monster catcher. Facing the chaotic situation, he took Qi Lu and fled to the cave that had been prepared earlier.

It's just that Si Yu didn't expect that this battle would be so tragic.

Si Yu repeatedly called Qi Lu's name but got no response. He groped Qi Lu's body with his hands, and there were hot wounds everywhere.

"Ah Lu," he leaned against Qi Lu's ear, "do you hear me? It's me..."

At the entrance of the cave, Ruan Ruan's eyes became hot, and she couldn't bear to turn her head away, only to find rustling sounds from the reeds not far away.

"Someone is coming!" Ruan Ruan said nervously.

Si Yu caught his breath, held Qi Lu's hand, and blocked him behind him.

As the person approached, Ruan Ruan picked up a stone at his feet and arched his back vigilantly.

Then, when Si Yu heard the sound of the walking stick hitting the ground, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. It was Uncle Rong who came.
