Demon Hunt [Apocalypse]

"His name is Lu Wu, and he is a monster subdued by our ancestors." Gu Jianguo sat in front of the row of spiritual seats in the ancestral house in the backyard, smoking a pipe, and slowly recounting the history of the monster in the cell.

"The ancestor is an amazing person. He understands yin and yang, and understands the principles of change. He can change the sky and call the wind and rain. When the world was in chaos and evil spirits were rampant, the ancestors went down the mountain to eliminate demons. They caught this monster and imprisoned it here. It has been guarded for more than 1000 years." Gu Jianguo knocked the pipe on the ground, and the unburned tobacco leaves were immediately blown into the air by the wind, and the little sparks looked extraordinarily ethereal.

The father and son sat in front of the pile of spiritual tablets, watching the continuous rainstorm outside.

"Ancestor? Is that him?" Gu Yu asked, pointing to one of the spiritual tablets, and then he recognized the blurred writing on the spiritual tablet that had been eroded by the wind and rain—the seat of Gu's Yixian.

"Our family has been in charge of guarding this monster since the Tang Dynasty. The patriarch said that there will be a day when the aliens will come, and no one can resist them, but only it can defeat them." Gu Jianguo from He took out a yellowed cloth bag from his arms and opened it layer by layer. In the center of the cloth bag was a small jade pendant with a red thread on it.

Gu Yu took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. It was a low-quality jade, and there was nothing special about it, but he still carried it around his neck according to his father's request.

"It's so fierce, how can we... make him obedient..." Gu Yu hesitated in his heart, "Besides, if the ancestor really imprisoned it here, it must hate us to death, how could it help me?"

Gu Jianguo was silent for a while: "Our ancestors said that we once cast a blood curse on this monster. The purest blood of our Gu family can imprison its soul. It can only be our servant forever, unless..."

Gu Yu asked, "Unless what?"

"Unless you die." Gu Jianguo said, "You must be careful when you send him to Yanjing this time. It is very likely that it will kill you when you relax your vigilance. This is why our ancestors kept it imprisoned." The reason for being here. Because, he is dangerous."

Gu Yu was silent. He knew that this monster had a high combat effectiveness. If it could be obedient, it would not be a problem at all to bring it all the way to Yanjing. Even his own safety could be well guaranteed.

But if... the monster wants to kill itself...

No wonder the superior said: You must find a way to ensure your own safety.

Escorting Lu Wu to Beijing is undoubtedly a very dangerous task, and the greatest danger comes from the person, or monster, that he wants to escort.

Gu Yu didn't hesitate for too long, he only knew that the successful execution of the mission was more important than his own life.

According to his father's instructions, he dripped his own blood on the jade pendant around his neck, the blood dizzy melted inside, and half of the blue jade turned crimson.

As long as the blood of that monster is also dripped on this jade pendant, the blood of the two will melt together, making the jade pendant a pure red, and the contract will be concluded.

From then on, that monster, whether it wants to or not, its soul will be imprisoned by Gu Yu, and it can only obey Gu Yu's orders.

This matter is also simple to do, the monster is locked and cannot move, so it is very simple to take its heart and soul.

But Gu Yu always felt that it seemed that before the two signed a contract, they should talk to that monster named Lu Wu.

That night, when the rain stopped, Gu Yu walked down the corridor towards the dungeon alone without telling his father.

This happened once when Gu Yu was a child. He sneaked here while his father was asleep, but before he found the secret passage, he was caught and beaten by his father.

Gu Yu couldn't quite remember why he was interested in this place when he was a child, until he walked along the corridor to the end and stood in front of the sealed door.

He didn't bring a flashlight or a gun. When facing a monster like Lu Wu, the gun was useless at all.

He heard low roars in the prison, the sound was like a beast crying at night, which made Gu Yu recall it all at once.

When he was a child, it was this sound that made him think that there was a wounded puppy hiding here, and he wanted to save it.

Decades have passed, who would have thought that there is really a wounded beast hidden here, but it is—a colossal monster.

Gu Yu put his hand on the hollow of the stone gate, and he felt his heart skip a beat twice for no reason, maybe it was the thought of seeing that terrible situation again; maybe it was something he wanted to do when he was a child, but he finally did it today.

He gently pushed the door open, almost silently this time, and the two doors slowly slid to both sides.

The bloody, cold, damp, and rancid smell poured into Gu Yu's lungs, but instead of backing away, he took a small step forward.

In the darkness, Gu Yu couldn't see anything, only two golden eyes that looked like stars in the night sky.

Lu Wu's eyes were terrifyingly bright in the night sky.

Gu Yu looked at those two bulb-like eyes, and those eyes also stared at Gu Yu without blinking.

The two seemed to have a tacit understanding, neither spoke, just watched quietly like this, the smell in the air was disgusting, but the silence was terrifying, only the sound of ticking water outside could be heard.That is the wet stone wall dripping water constantly.

The two stared at each other like this, and after an unknown amount of time, Lu Wu said first, "What are you doing here again!"

Gu Yu didn't answer this question, but asked another question: "Does it hurt?"

"Oh! Why bother to be hypocritical?"

Gu Yu was silent, he lowered his head, feeling that his question was a bit stupid.

After a while, he said, "I'm here to take you away."

A burst of rapid breathing sounded in the air, it was Lu Wu's breathing.

Bang bang bang bang, it was the sound of Lu Wu's iron chains colliding.

Lu Wu's voice was still deep, but it became urgent: "Really? What do you need me to do?"

Gu Yu said: "I don't know, I received an order to escort you to Yanjing. It's chaotic outside, I think...they may want you to help, after all, I heard that you are very powerful."

"Oh!" There was another sneer in the darkness, followed by rapid breathing, which became more and more intense, and finally turned into a roar: "Let me out! Let me out!! You treacherous and shameless villains! let me out!"

The voice sounded like a wolf howling in the dark night, with shrillness and anger.

It yelled and cursed over and over again, but the sound still couldn't reach the outside of the mountain. Even if someone heard it outside, they thought it was the sound of the night wind blowing the bamboo forest.

Gu Yu was in the corner, listening to the deafening roar, he felt his eardrums hurt, but he didn't take half a step back.

Finally, the growling sound gradually subsided, and Gu Yu knew that the monster was tired.

He unscrewed the military jug on his waist, and handed the water to the monster in the dark.

He couldn't see the monster reaching out, but he could hear the sound of flesh being torn apart.

Gu Yu regretted a little, he forgot that every time Lu Wu moved, the pipa bone would be separated from the flesh and blood again.

But before he could react, a huge hairy palm had snatched the kettle from his hand.

Gululu, there was a swallowing sound.

"Huh!" Lu Wu let out a sigh that was close to a groan, "It's delicious! This is the first time I've had water in more than 1000 years..."

In Lu Wu's voice, there was a trace of sobs.

It couldn't help but think of the days when it first came to Blue Star, how it was imprisoned, and how it was treated.

Its hands tightened involuntarily, and the military kettle made of pure steel was crushed into a mass of scrap iron.

"Drinking water for the first time?" Gu Yu was a little shocked. He thought that after so many years, someone would definitely bring food to this monster. "Then what do you drink and eat?"

"When Gu Yixian was still alive, he drank copper juice and ate iron pills, and suffered unspeakably." The monster's voice sounded very calm, "Later, when Gu Yixian died, his descendants never sent any food or drink. .”

Gu Yu didn't know what evil this monster had done to be so imprisoned and abused by his ancestors.However, even if it is a big deal, being imprisoned in this way for 500 years is enough.

Gu Yu felt a little guilty for what his ancestors did, but he didn't say these words, but asked again: "Are you willing to go out with me?"

The monster was silent, and Gu Yu didn't speak any more. He remembered how those little monsters roared towards the house during the day, but they didn't dare to approach, and guessed how powerful this monster was.

In the dark silence, I heard Lu Wu say: "I know what happened outside, and I also know what you want me to do. I am indeed much better than you guys, but...the monsters outside, some Much stronger than me, I can't beat them. I don't want to fight, I can't fight. And there are too many of them, I...will die in battle."

When the monster said this, Gu Yu saw that the monster closed its eyes.The moment the monster closed its eyes, Gu Yu saw a trace of deep sorrow in those golden eyes.

Gu Yu felt that he was a bit cruel, but pity could not change his mind.He said: "I came to you under the order of the above. They said that you are the only hope for mankind. Even if I leave, someone will come to you in the future. Since mankind has made a decision, it will not let you go." you."

"I just want to be free, and I won't harm anyone."

"But it's not up to you. Cooperating with me is the best choice. At least, I can guarantee your safety and life."

Suddenly, the dark cell was lit up again, Lu Wu opened his eyes, and his hair all over his body emitted a faint golden light.

It looked at Gu Yu, and Gu Yu was also in this light, seeing it clearly like never before.

Lu Wu's hair fell out badly, and the place where the shackles were located was stained with blood.

But there was a strange light shining in his eyes, even with a hint of cunning.

Lu Wu's nose moved, as if he was sniffing the air. Finally, he turned his head, stared at Gu Yu, and said word by word: "I have been imprisoned here for 500 years. The way I am now is already There is no choice. Let me out and I will be loyal to you and protect you until death."

Gu Yu was surprised to hear such words from Lu Wu.He untied his collar, took out the jade pendant, and presented it to Lu Wu: "Blood deed."

Lu Wu's eyes flickered for a moment, the emotion was so fast that Gu Yu couldn't catch it at all.

When Gu Yu went to look at Lu Wu again, the monster's eyes were so calm that it made people feel a little scary.

Lu Wu stretched out his claws and pierced into the heart.

A drop of Yin Hong's apex blood flowed out from the wound and dripped into the jade pendant.

A scarlet light glowed around the jade pendant, and with a bang, the jade pendant exploded, and the scarlet light turned into ten thousand silk threads, penetrated into Lu Wu's skin, hit the heart directly, and restrained him.

After a while, the red light disappeared, and everything returned to darkness.

Lu Wu's voice sounded calm, with a slight trembling: "I have signed a blood contract with you. Now, if you want to kill me, it is easy. Can you let me out?"

Gu Yu was amazed at what he saw. He believed that the jade pendant was the magic power of his ancestors. He always thought that any Gu family bloodline could control this monster. Only now, after seeing it with his own eyes, did he understand the meaning behind it. deep meaning.

Only the blood of the Gu family can sign a blood contract with this monster.

And there was only one person who signed the blood contract.

In other words, from now on, this monster will only obey itself.

Gu Yu tried his best to digest this matter. When faced with Lu Wu's request, he said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple to go out. You probably have to wait here for a few days..."

An angry roar sounded, and Gu Yu felt a great murderous aura in front of him.

"You lied to me!"

"No... no, I will find a way to unshackle you and heal your wounds..." Gu Yu took a step back and explained.

"No! You just need to erase the runes outside the door, and I can come out by myself!" Lu Wu's voice trembled slightly, sounding a little nervous and excited.

Gu Yu nodded, he walked out the door, and the golden runes attached to the door rushed towards him.

Gu Yu stretched out her hand, and easily wiped off the faintly shining gold powder.

"Okay, you can... try to come out..." Gu Yu whispered.

However, his voice was covered by another voice. "Hahaha! Hahaha!" Huge wild laughter came from the prison cell, and the whole ground was shaking. It was almost a crazy cry, roaring towards the void of the sky: "I'm out, I'm finally free!"

With a loud bang, the mountains vibrated, the black iron shackles, the pipa hook, everything that restrained Lu Wu was easily broken.

A golden light broke through the ground, the whole mountain was shaking, and the boulders kept rolling down. Gu Yu didn't have time to walk away. Based on the first aid for earthquakes he had learned, he quickly found a corner and hid.

Rumbling, boulders rolling down one after another, dust filled the surrounding air, Gu Yu was completely suppressed by these rolling boulders, luckily he hid well, when a boulder fell, he left behind The hiding place.

But as the boulders piled up, there were at least tens of meters of boulders above Gu Yu. Even if there was a rescue team, it would take at least ten days to dig him out.

Even though Gu Yu didn't know all this, he was just a little annoyed in his heart, thinking that the monster was too reckless, so anxious to be free, didn't he worry that he would be crushed to death?

But he thought about it again, no matter who has been imprisoned for 500 years, when he first became free, he probably would not have thought so thoroughly.

Gu Yu was waiting for the monster to come to save him. Since he was able to break through the shackles of the mountains and jump out, then after the joy of regaining freedom passed, he would come back to save him, right?

Didn't the monster half-kneel before him and say, "Let me out, and I will be loyal to you and protect you until death"?It shouldn't be difficult to dig yourself out of the ruins.

Gu Yu was full of confidence.

However, in the next second, he found that the boulders above his head were loose, and countless boulders rose towards the sky.He looked up towards the sky, a bright moon was hanging high, the surrounding mountains had become flat, and he was standing in a whirlpool.

"Today's moon is so round!" A thought flashed through Gu Yu's mind, "It's a miracle to be able to see the bright moon at night despite the heavy rain during the day."

Gu Yu looked up at the bright moon, and immediately, he saw a shadow appearing in the center of the bright moon.

The shadow was only a small spot at first, but in less than a microsecond, the small spot's shadow became as big as a disc, and in the blink of an eye, the shadow had already covered the moon.

Huge shadows, with a stern, killing wind, wild laughter came to Gu Yu's ears, golden eyes, with a bloody breath.

Lu Wu descended from the sky, shuttled among the rising boulders, and rushed towards Gu Yu like a shooting star.Thick arms made strangling movements.

His voice seemed to come from Asura Hell: "Hahaha! Kill you! Kill you, Gu, and I will be completely free! Go to hell!"
