Chapter 1996 Man in White

After bidding farewell to Guasheng Mai and his party, Li Xuehao entered the "Devil's Cave" alone and reached the end of the cave easily. r?anwen?

Within the wide space, countless light spots above the head are like bright stars in the night sky, like a dream.

He raised his hand and caught a firefly from the air. It was about the size of a soybean. It had a long and flat body, a small head, and semi-spherical eyes. There was also a pair of tentacles in the front. The upper jaw was curved, and it looked extremely ferocious. If magnified dozens of times, If so, it must be a very terrifying weapon.

As soon as it came close to his finger, the fireflies immediately launched an offensive, their powerful upper jaws piercing his skin like poisonous needles.

Li Xuehao is not Princess Yoko. Not to mention Firefly's upper jaw, even swords and bullets can't hurt her at all. However, although it could not pierce the skin, it still secreted venom, which was a small blue thick liquid. A faint evil aura emanated from it, but no evil aura was detected.

Perhaps it was because there was so little demonic energy that it was almost undetectable. Li Xuehao carefully used his spiritual consciousness to cover this tiny bit of venom, and finally discovered a trace of demonic aura.

This trace of demonic energy is hidden in the evil spirit. It is extremely concealed. No wonder the existence of the evil spirit was only noticed at first.

Putting the venom into the storage ring, Li Xuehao began to study the firefly in his hand. Since the devil's energy was in its venom, as the owner of the venom, it must have devil's energy itself.

A golden light flashed deep in the eyes, and under the eyes of the Dharma, the firefly's structure from the surface to the body could not be hidden.

To the naked eye, the firefly in the hand glows blue, but under the Dharma's eye, it glows red, so red that it turns purple.

This is the smell of blood!

Li Xuehao was not surprised. The bloody smell was also divided into objects. The presence of bloody smell did not mean that someone had been killed, it could also be other creatures.

People also have the smell of blood, especially butchers who kill pigs and sheep, and the smell of blood surrounds them, but it is completely different from the smell of blood when killing people. In addition to the smell of blood, killing people also contains the resentment of the deceased.

The firefly in your hand has a bloody smell because it is carnivorous.

Fireflies mainly prey on molluscs such as snails and slugs, or annelids such as earthworms. When they capture prey, they use their mandibles to inject the secreted venom into the prey for digestion outside the body, and then inhale it into the body. So the billions of fireflies shining like stars above our heads can be said to be carnivorous elves holding lanterns.

Of course, Li Xuehao did not find that the fireflies among them gave off the bloody smell of devouring humans, which was why he did not choose to kill them at the beginning. The reason why Princess Yoko was unlucky enough to be "preyed" by fireflies was also the reason why she wanted to provoke them.

Apart from the bloody smell, there is nothing unusual about the firefly's body. Just like an ordinary firefly, it can be crushed to death with a gentle squeeze of your fingers.

But where did the demonic energy come from? He originally thought that these fireflies would be difficult to eliminate because of their demonic aura, but now he found that apart from their venom, their lives were pitifully fragile.

This is completely contradictory. There are evil spirits and demonic spirits in the body at the same time. How can it be so fragile? You must know that evil spirits not only affect people, but also affect any living creature. With a firefly's small body, even a trace of evil spirits is enough to erode it into a naked body in a few seconds.

Li Xuehao checked carefully again, but still found nothing. After thinking about it, he let go of the firefly in his hand. The latter seemed to be very afraid of him under the "ravage" just now. As soon as he was free, he immediately flew to the top of the dome. , drowned in an army of billions of fireflies.

However, a commotion arose from this. The firefly was probably frightened. Although it escaped with a small life, it was still filled with fear and uneasiness, and this atmosphere began to spread around it with it as the center.

The fireflies around him became restless, and then the fireflies in the distance also began to move. Finally, the fireflies on the entire dome became restless, and the buzzing sound of flapping wings formed a torrent.

All the fireflies left the clinging dome and flew in the air, like a beautiful meteor shower, and like shining ribbons, sweeping toward the entrance where Li Xuehao came from.

They're going out!

Naturally, Li Xuehao couldn't just watch them leave. Although the lives of fireflies were pitifully fragile, humans had many ways to eliminate them, but there were too many of them, and once they bit someone, they would almost die immediately. A huge disaster.

As his body flashed, he blocked the entrance. Under the movement of spiritual energy in his body, an airtight invisible door was placed at the entrance.

The fireflies hit the invisible door and were bounced away one after another. Moreover, because they were arranged by spiritual energy, they were natural enemies with evil and demonic energy in their bodies.

In panic, they flew back one after another, panicking and not knowing which firefly led the way, and rushed towards the river surrounding them on three sides one after another.

"Swiss, swish, swish," there were countless sounds like falling rain, and the fireflies dived into the water one after another. In the end, not a single one was left.

Li Xuehao was amazed when he saw it. He had seen moths flying into the flame before, but this was the first time he had seen fireflies drowning in water. However, a scene that surprised him appeared. The fireflies that fell into the water did not feel any discomfort. They vibrated their wings and swam unimpeded in the water, heading towards the deeper water.

There is a passage connecting the outside at the bottom of the river, which leads directly to the sea. Li Xuehao had already determined it with his spiritual consciousness when he came in before.

These fireflies want to escape into the sea.

Just as he was hesitating whether to chase after him, a long black shadow suddenly appeared at the bottom of the river. It opened with countless sharp saw teeth and rushed into the group of fireflies, running rampant.

Wherever it passes, the originally crowded group of fireflies will be cleared out and all will enter its belly.

The fireflies couldn't help but panic and fled one after another.

But the long black shadow was faster in the water, and its appetite was unparalleled. In the blink of an eye, more than one-tenth of the billions of fireflies were gone.

There were more fireflies that sank to the bottom of the water involuntarily because of the river water it stirred, and were either stunned or killed. The remaining fireflies vibrated their wings faster, trying to escape from its giant kiss.

The long black shadow may not be satisfied with the speed of its devouring. Its body trembled and suddenly exploded, turning into thousands of small fish with thick arms, harvesting the remaining fireflies.

In a short period of time, almost all the fireflies were devoured, and only a few managed to escape.

Li Xuehao watched a good show, and he didn't have to worry about billions of highly poisonous fireflies escaping. Their biggest advantage was their population size, which had now vanished.

What saved him from having to do it himself was the huge hairtail fish spirit body. Before, it had turned its body into thousands of small fish to perform "Carp Jumping over the Dragon Gate", but now it was just showing how to eat quickly.

After eating, the hairtail spirit stared at him in the water for a while, then disappeared under the water.

Li Xuehao didn't bother to use his spiritual consciousness to track where it went. After all, it was harmless to humans. Its existence might just be to perform "carp jumping over the dragon's gate" to people who entered here.

In the cave, because of the disappearance of the fireflies, it is no longer the dreamlike fairy tale scene it once was. When ordinary people enter here, they will only see pitch black.

For Li Xuehao, there was no difference. His purpose was to study how the demonic energy in the fireflies came from, but he achieved nothing.

It's time to leave too.

When he raised his head, Li Xuehao's footsteps stopped.

The fireflies on the dome have disappeared, but a huge painting has appeared. No, to be precise, six huge paintings. Because the six paintings are combined together, at a glance, it looks like one painting.

These six paintings were previously hidden from view because they were blocked by fireflies, but now their true appearance is revealed.

From left to right, the first painting is an endless sea with turbulent waves. Under the turbulent water, you can vaguely see countless black shadows chasing and playing.

In the second painting, the picture changes to land. This is an island. Looking down from the air, a small wooden house on the island is obviously lonely and lonely.

In the third painting, the distant view from the air changes to a close-up view. At the door of the wooden house, a man wearing white clothes with an unclear face stands there, facing the direction of the sea, seeming to be looking at someone or something in the distance.

The second row, the first painting, is above the clouds. It is the same man in white, stepping on a seven-color cloud, holding a whisk in his hand, making a swing, and the rain falls from the direction of the whisk. On the ground, people wrapped only in animal skins or grass skirts were kneeling in worship.

In the second painting, a huge seven-colored light gate stands high in mid-air. On the sea below, three fish of different colors jump out of the sea. Their target is the seven-colored light gate. Behind the light door, a white fish has already jumped over, and in front of the white fish is the man in white, leaning forward in the same posture as the white fish. He seems to be the white fish.

In the last painting, the man in white stepped on the seven-colored clouds and stood in front of the three fish that had not jumped through the seven-colored light gate, seeming to be admonishing them.

…

After reading all the paintings, Li Xuehao didn't know what he wanted to express specifically, but he vaguely guessed that the man in white in the painting should be the person who painted these six murals. The reason why his face is blurry and difficult to see clearly may be because The person who painted the picture didn't want to paint it.

And this cave is probably the cave of the man in white. The hairtail spirit is the spiritual beast he left to guard the cave. But why does it perform "carp jumping over the dragon's gate" whenever someone comes in? There is still no answer. Is it to encourage people to come in? People go looking for the "Dragon Gate" and then jump over it?
