The mountain ghost blows out the lights

The night was very deep.

The Yueqing Mountain is quiet, with almost no light, only a few fireflies flying slowly and scatteredly in the bushes not far away, startled by voices from unknown sources from time to time, and suddenly sink into the entangled bushes.

Since... there has been no trace of human activity on this mountain for a long time.

But tonight is bound to be different.

The clouds that covered the moon dissipated, and the dim moonlight barely penetrated into the shadows of the trees. A small figure could be seen on the mountainside, moving slowly.

This turned out to be a boy who looked only seven or eight years old.

The boy was born cute, with ruddy lips, white complexion, hair neatly tied up, and the quality and workmanship of the clothes were very high-quality, but because it hindered his movement, he tucked the hem of the clothes into his trousers.

His boots were a bit dirty, and his exposed skin had a few red marks from being scratched by branches, and his expression was very nervous.Other than that, he looks like the noble young master of a wealthy family.

Although Yueqing Mountain is not high, it is inaccessible, and there are inevitably many dangerous beasts in the mountain.A child like this shouldn't be in this place at this time anyway.

He only held a lantern in his hand, which had to be turned on or not. The outer casing of the lantern was very old, with signs of weather erosion.The wick is a special cotton rope, and now there is only a short point exposed outside, barely maintaining the last trace of dignity as a wick, the light is so dim that it can only illuminate a few steps in front of you, it seems that there is a danger of going out at any time.

The vegetation here is dense, even if you enter the mountain during the day, you may get lost, let alone at night-every corner that cannot be illuminated by the light seems to hide monsters that will devour flesh and blood.

The child may be tired from walking, or the mountain road is really rough and difficult to walk, and there is almost no light for lighting.No matter how carefully he walked, he accidentally tripped over a raised old tree root.

He let out a small exclamation, and then suppressed the sound in his throat again. Before he even had time to check his torn pants, he stood cautiously on the spot, motionless, and listened to the movement around him for a while.

It seems... nothing alarmed.

Shen Lianxing carefully protected the lantern in his hand, and watched in horror as the faint flame swayed from side to side twice, as if it was about to go out, and tremblingly rekindled, very inspirational.

His time is running out.

Shen Lianxing sighed silently, lowered his eyebrows, stuffed his other hand into the skirt of his clothes and touched it. His fingertips touched a cold handle, and he felt a little more at ease.

The light was lingering and swaying firmly in the darkness. If he could not complete the task before the light went out, he would have to die on this mountain.

Shen Lianxing didn't want to die, no one wanted to die.

The evening wind blew across the mountains, rustling the leaves.Just when he was hesitating whether to continue walking forward, behind this weak child, a thick shadow slowly protruded from the old tree that had just tripped over him.

The shadow gradually descended from the tree, and the scales and muscles contracted making a slight sound, as if they had bumped into something while moving, and a broken hare fell to the ground with a 'poof'.

The rabbit did not show signs of being swallowed. If you look carefully, you will find that it only has a small wound about an inch long in the softest part of its abdomen. The wound is strangely black and shriveled...

But it didn't rot.

The shadows finally all fell down the tree, and the dim moonlight pierced through the messy branches and leaves, barely revealing the shadows' true appearance.

It was a huge snake.

The snake has no vocal cords, it opens its jaws strangely, and the tip of its forked tongue hangs menacingly in the air, trembling forward.

Obviously, the child's stumbling just now alarmed it.

The snake quickly smelled the strange smell, so it excitedly hid its whereabouts in the grass, silently and swiftly following the young back of the child.

The child finally made up his mind to move on, and he is still stumbling along the mountain, as if he hadn't noticed the danger at all.

...it has not eaten a human for a long time.

The viscous malice clung to his back like mud. Shen Lianxing lowered his head and pretended not to feel it. His back tensed up and he walked as fast as he could. He listened carefully to the abnormal noises from behind and silently clenched his arms stuff in.

No one wanted him to go back alive, those people took advantage of the absence of the Patriarch, stuffed him with a lantern that was dying, and forced him to go to Yueqingshan.Under the guise of a test, asking him, a seven-year-old child, to deal with the beast entrenched on the mountainside, is simply determined to let him die on the mountain.

Why?He didn't want them to do what he wanted, he wanted to—

The sound of scales rubbing against grass blades behind him gradually increased, mixed with the unique hissing sound of snakes. An ordinary body would certainly not be able to make such an obvious sound. Even if he didn't look back, Shen Lianxing could imagine the shape of the snake.

The prey is close at hand, as weak as a fluffy chick in a nest, and there is nowhere to escape.

The giant snake didn't even bother to be cautious.

... If it drags on, it might just wrap itself around.Shen Lianxing is just a child, if he is entangled by it, there is absolutely no possibility of breaking free.

Shen Lianxing raised his head slightly, with a look that was not as mature as a child of his grade.His gaze swept around the sky without focus, but he didn't see anything. He finally stopped his progress, turned around slowly, and saw clearly the true face of the snake behind him.

It was even scarier than he had imagined.

The giant snake then stopped, coiled a few steps away from him, and only propped up the front half of its body, it was already taller than the child in front of it.

The night in the mountain was extremely cold, and the mountain wind swept down the mountain like a knife, gouging out the child's pale face.Shen Lianxing's whole body was trembling uncontrollably. At this moment, he could hardly feel the cold or fear, only resentment, extreme resentment—and majestic anger.

It was this long beast that sneaked into Yanjing City, devoured countless residents in the city, strangled two hunters who went up the mountain, and bit the third one, making him run back to the city desperately...and die In front of everyone.

——They still respect it as a mountain god and offer sacrifices to it.

Why, just rely on the 'oracle' that a few old people in the astrology building pretended to be gods and tricks, and invited them out?

Shen Lianxing pinched the thing in his arms tightly. It was metal, with sharp and cold edges, and left a few deep marks on his palm. It hurt, but the pain can keep people calm.

He just got it, and he hasn't really learned how to use it yet, and he doesn't know how powerful it is...

But it doesn't matter that much now.

He has only one chance.

Shen Lianxing's pupils dilated, facing the huge mouth of the big snake that was approaching suddenly, the tip of the sharp fangs had oozed viscous liquid, reflecting colorful colors under the bleak moonlight, obviously the poison was quite fierce.

Just rubbing the edge can make people die in extreme pain...

He heard the Orion moaning in pain, like a dying breath.

He heard the old sigh, from the long past.

The scales squirmed and rubbed against the dead leaves on the ground, something came through the air, the night owl chirped cautiously twice in the dark, and the fireflies burrowed into the grass.

All the sounds around me seem to be amplified countless times, the senses are out of tune, and the time is stretched to infinity——

He heard a soft voice: "Huh?"

Someone broke through the maze, like a burning fire, scorching the night sky.

Shen Lianxing raised his head almost blankly, standing in front of him was a young man who looked to be in his twenties, dressed in neat clothes, his long hair was casually tied into a high ponytail, his back was facing him, looking Unrecognizable.

The young man held two scimitars in his hand, one long and one short, and the short one was placed right between the snake's fangs, making it difficult for it to move its head for a while, while he said slowly: "Why are you in such a hurry, you are rushing to reincarnate Are you going?"

The voice was clear, light and easy to catch people's ears, almost with a little smile.

Shen Lianxing stood where he was, silently stuffing back the half-taken things.

The giant snake seemed to understand what the person said, and immediately flicked its tail angrily, using the strength of its tail to support the ground, it escaped from the shackles of the scimitar. The snake's good guy is broken into two pieces at the waist.

The young man took two steps back without touching the ground, and without looking back, he picked up Shen Lianxing, found a strong tree branch and put it away, and said, "Wait for me a while."

Shen Lianxing glanced hurriedly, and finally saw his face clearly.

...she turned out to be a beautiful woman.

The beauty put down her burden, turned around and concentrated on killing the snake.

The giant snake may feel that he has been neglected and is very angry.It immediately forgot all the children and resolved to deal with the young man wholeheartedly.

He was obviously a beast, but he seemed to be able to read sinister emotions in those dark eyes, staring at the young man steadfastly.

It slowly flattened its body, its triangular head was facing the young man, and it assumed a posture ready to go.

The young man raised his scimitar with both hands, nodded politely to the snake, his voice was still unhurried: "Hi, glad to meet you, I'm in a hurry, to make a long story short, can I trouble you to die yourself?"

As long as the snake can make a sound, it should have opened its mouth to scold him by now.

It's a pity that it can't, so the giant snake had no choice but to open its mouth wide, and rushed over with a bloody body, deciding to swallow this rude guy directly.

"Alas..." The young man sighed long, holding two scimitars in his backhand, crossed his arms, saw the timing of the giant snake's pounce, and exerted strength on his arms at the moment when the fangs were about to reach the tip of his nose , The two knives are different from each other, the blade is extremely sharp, it is effortless to cut into the scales of the giant snake, the ease and pleasure of gouging out the flesh is like digging out a piece of mud from the river bed.

Everything seems to be at a standstill at this moment.
