Chapter 259: A Mountain of Corpses and a Sea of ​​Blood

The Yaogui City was still the same as usual, with a blood moon in the sky and darkness everywhere.

The whole street was empty and deserted, and the monsters walked numbly on the street.

Now, the Human City and the Monster City have already started a full-scale war. So far, many powerful monsters have participated in the battlefield.

Originally, these streets were quite lively, but now there are only a few monsters walking around in them.

The strength between the two monster cities is comparable, and the two are balanced. This battle is expected to take a while, and it is unknown who will win or lose.

But this has nothing to do with them. They are just some monsters living at the bottom. Now, they can only seize the last free time and enjoy it as much as possible.

Two monsters were chatting in front of the stall, and most of the chat was about when this battle would end.

"How long can the fight last? No matter how long it lasts, there are only two possible outcomes."

"We win, or they win. Anyway, it's useless for us low-level monsters."

"Rengui City? I don't know. Not long ago, the saint in Rengui City was very cunning. The saint who came in seemed to be the emperor of the human world. The saint in Rengui City wanted to lead him to us."

"Oh? There is such a thing. Tell me in detail. I have been out of touch recently. There is no exciting news."

"It failed. We found it and sent it back. Now Rengui City is not peaceful."

The two monsters chatted casually about some major news that happened recently.

There were some scattered monsters nearby. After hearing the conversation between the two monsters, they all came over to listen, interrupted, and then left.

As for topics, there is always a time to talk about them.

After chatting for a while, the two demons felt bored and one of them was about to leave, but before he turned around, he heard a surprised shout from the demon next to him.

"What is that?"

The sound was so loud that it attracted all the demons around. All the demons looked in the direction of the sound and saw a terrifying vision.

At the end not far ahead, there was originally an empty street, but at this moment the space began to distort, like a long worm, making people dizzy.

And this distorted space gradually expanded. In the eyes of all the demons, when this space expanded to a height of one person, it slowly stopped.

For some reason, the demons present felt a tremor, as if something terrible was about to emerge from it.

They had all died once, and they believed in this intuition very much. At that moment, one demon wanted to turn around and run away.

But it was too late to run away at this time. A crack appeared in the distorted space, and a young man walked out of it.

The young man was handsome and looked elegant, but he had a fierce aura.

Especially his eyes, which showed different colors, the left eye was golden and the right eye was grayish white.

When the man walked out, all the monsters felt a bone-chilling coldness all over their bodies, which started from the bottom of their hearts and gradually spread to their whole bodies.

"His eyes are so cold."

"This is a human! But why can he be unscathed in Monster City?"

"I know who he is. Someone entered Monster City unscathed before, and it seems to be him!"

"Run, what are you doing?"

Although there are not many monsters on this street, at this moment they also know that they must run desperately to save their lives.

"Xu Bai"'s golden pupils rotated slightly, while the other grayish-white pupil remained the same.

As the golden pupils rotated, the time around them seemed to slow down.

The running monsters stopped, and their speed was infinitely slowed down.

"Xu Bai" had a cold face, like black ice.

This was not a deliberate act of being cool, but a kind of indifference of a person standing at the top to the ants below.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound came out, which was particularly abrupt in the dark and silent streets.

The slowed-down monsters, accompanied by a crisp sound, had spider-web-like cracks, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into flying ashes all over the sky.

"Uh...ah!"

A muffled groan came, and Xu Bai hugged his head and slowly squatted down.

With him as the center, gold and gray-white continued to interweave and spread to the surroundings.

Wherever they passed, they all turned into ashes.

In just a moment, the whole city had become nothingness.

And the gold and gray-white were still extending, as if there was no end.

...

In a mountain.

A monster with two horns on its head was scolding the one-legged monster next to it.

"What a bullshit fight, you want to go to the battlefield, I tell you, those high-level people are the protagonists this time."

"It is most important to save your life honestly. Whether you win or lose, it will not be bad for us low-level monsters."

"If we win, we will still live our lives as before. If we lose, Rengui City will not kill us all. It's just that we will live a little worse, which is better than losing our lives!"

The one-horned demon ghost listened to the scolding and lowered his head weakly, looking listless.

The two-horned demon ghost seemed to have not said enough and continued to talk, and this time he talked about things related to the human world.

"Don't get involved, solve the things here as soon as possible, and it's better for us to focus on the human world."

"By then, as long as the human world is destroyed, I don't know how much better our lives will be than now, so staying alive is the most important thing, understand?"

The one-horned demon ghost nodded repeatedly.

They are a pair of brothers, and after they died, they also came to the demon ghost city.

The one-horned demon ghost wanted to go to the battlefield, but was stopped by his brother, and now he was scolded again, so he could only give up for the time being.

But...

Thinking of being able to attack the human world, he licked his lips and showed a bloodthirsty smile on his face.

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew in, making him feel relieved.

"What is that?"

The one-horned demon looked strangely in one direction, his face full of disbelief.

His sight fell on the distance, and in the distance was a golden and gray-white interweaving madness, approaching at an astonishing speed.

The two-horned demon also found that something was wrong.

The sense of danger burst out from his heart, and he only said the word "go" and was ready to turn around and run away.

But the golden and gray-white interweaving madness seemed to be very slow, but the real speed was unimaginable.

As soon as the word "go" fell, the golden and gray-white interweaving madness covered the entire mountain.

The two demons did not even scream, and together with the mountain, they turned into a pile of flying ash...

Such scenes are constantly repeating in many places.

Xu Bai is still in the state of the golden finger, holding his head and shaking on the ground.

But his gray-white and golden interweaving madness is still spreading, covering a wider and wider range, so wide that it makes people feel suffocated.

If it continues to spread at this speed, the entire Demon City will be covered by it.

Xu Bai still held his head, squatting on the ground, his body trembling constantly, his eyes wide open, the gray and golden pupils did not disperse, but became more and more solid.

"Who dares to cause trouble in Yaogui City!"

At this moment, a loud shout came, and a figure with golden and gray intertwined madness was rushing over quickly.

The figure gradually became clear, a middle-aged man with wings on his back.

The middle-aged man had a strong aura, and the surrounding madness flowed around his body without invading it.

Enter the Saint!

Zhou Sheng was speechless, he was dealing with the various arrangements of Rengui City on the battlefield.

People like them at the top level have now all gathered on the battlefield, in order to go all out to compete with Rengui City.

But today, something different happened.

They inexplicably felt that a powerful force was coming and destroying everything in Yaogui City.

However, they were constantly fighting with the Human Ghost City, and there was no way to spare any manpower, so they could only temporarily dispatch a Saint, and this Saint was Zhou Sheng.

Looking at the Demon Ghost City, which had been destroyed by a small part, Zhou Sheng got more and more angry the closer he got.

Originally, they were fighting each other on the battlefield, and both sides were evenly matched, but now the Human Ghost City had a Chu Emperor, which was at a disadvantage.

They thought they could take this opportunity to win, but this happened today.

Angry!

Very angry!

Zhou Sheng looked at the man squatting on the ground in front of him, and spread his wings without hesitation.

Behind him, a black shadow was gradually condensing, and in the blink of an eye it turned into an extremely huge eagle.

The eagle spread its wings, covering the sky and the earth, and its momentum was so strong that it made all living beings bow their heads.

The next moment, Zhou Sheng slowly raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and blasted at Xu Bai from a long distance.

The distance was far, but when the fist landed, the shadow of the eagle behind him flapped its wings, turned into a stream of light, and swept towards Xu Bai with the might of destroying the world.

Xu Bai was still holding his head, as if in pain, and did not notice the devastating attack.

The shadow was getting closer and closer to Xu Bai, and the sense of danger became stronger.

At this moment, Xu Bai, who had been holding his head, suddenly raised his head, his eyes calm and indifferent, as if he regarded all living beings as equals, and he stood above all living beings.

The golden and gray eyes turned at the same time, with a weird atmosphere, making people feel creepy.

Time seemed to slow down and stop, and the speed of the eagle's sprint had become extremely slow.

Zhou Sheng's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he found that he seemed unable to move.

"This is not time, this is... madness!"

He felt that he had become two, half rational and half chaotic. When the two merged together, the madness made him unable to move.

To be precise, he could move, but he had to succumb to the madness and completely turn into something without emotion.

The reason why he didn't move now was that he was trying his best to resist the madness. If he moved a little, he would be like a small boat on the waves, overturned by the pouring waves.

"Impossible, what on earth is he? I am a ninth-grade saint!"

Zhou Sheng knew that he was panicking now, but he couldn't help but panic in this situation. Anyone would panic here. He couldn't fight or escape. The most important thing was that he couldn't even move a step.

He was a ninth-grade saint master. He could clearly feel the madness of rationality and chaos in his mind, as if countless individuals were talking in his heart, making him almost crazy.

"No, don't kill me, please!"

Zhou Sheng saw Xu Bai had stood up and walked towards him with an indifferent face, his legs trembling constantly, begging.

Xu Bai had no emotion at all, slowly raised his right hand, and at the same time extended his index finger, pointing at Zhou Sheng.

The madness around him seemed to have found a place to pour out, and all poured towards Zhou Sheng.

The next moment, Zhou Sheng's eyes turned red, he raised his head and roared, and let out a shrill scream.

His eyes had turned into a frenzy, looking down at his hands, and suddenly stretched out his hands, madly grabbed his wings, and tore them fiercely.

"Bang!"

In an instant, the sky was full of blood mist, dyeing the entire sky red.

Zhou Sheng's life breath was gradually weakening, he looked back at Xu Bai, the madness in his eyes was still as hot as fire.

"I... know who you are! You are..."

The words were not finished, because he was completely dead.

Entering the saint and dying, the world changed drastically.

The whole sky became more blood red, filled with a feeling of depression.

At this moment, Xu Bai did not stay any longer. After killing Zhou Sheng, he seemed to have found a suitable outlet to vent his pain.

But his eyes were still the same, without any change, except that he was no longer in pain.

Xu Bai turned around, ignoring the mess at the scene, and walked directly in one direction. He walked very slowly, but every step was very steady, and his face was still indifferent.

Gradually, he soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.

…

The battlefield of Guishi.

Corpses were everywhere, and smoke rose everywhere.

Here, life seemed to be worthless, and the monsters on both sides killed desperately.

This tragic battlefield, due to the arrival of Emperor Chu, made the victory lean towards Yaogui City. All the monsters in Yaogui City felt that they saw the dawn of victory.

But the current situation has changed differently.

"Pah!"

The four-eyed demon ghost who had entered the holy realm slapped the table hard, making a dull sound. The four eyes looked around at the six members of the same level around him, with a gloomy face.

"Zhou Sheng, dead!"

In his tone, there was a suppressed anger, that kind of anger was not pity, nor sympathy, but just pure anger.

If it were normal, it would not matter to them whether Zhou Sheng died or not, and it would even be better if he died.

But now it is different. Zhou Sheng's death has put them at a disadvantage.

Not only the four-eyed demon ghost, the other seven demon ghosts who have entered the holy realm also looked very ugly.

But no demon ghost spoke, because they were all waiting for the four-eyed demon ghost to speak.

The four-eyed demon ghost fell into silence, and the surroundings were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. After about an incense stick of time, he slowly spoke: "Order all demon ghosts to switch from offensive to defensive!"

"As for the person who killed Zhou Sheng, don't worry about it for the time being. He doesn't seem to make any other noise now. Our main focus is still on this battlefield."

The demon ghosts nodded, which was considered to be agreed.

They had no choice but to give up this battlefield, so the main focus was still here. As for the follow-up, if the person who killed Zhou Sheng continued to make trouble, they would think of other ways.

The four-eyed demon gritted his teeth and looked at the direction of Zhou Sheng's death, with more rage in his eyes.

...

Xu Bai woke up.

He didn't know what he had experienced, but he felt that he had slept for a long time and was very energetic after waking up.

Opening his eyes and looking at the dark environment around him, Xu Bai got up from the ground and scratched his head.

"Where am I?"

There was an extremely huge space around him, but it was pitch black and there was no light.

He was still alive, so he must have escaped from the giant eyes, so the place where he was now should be where the golden finger brought him.

Xu Bai circulated the true energy in his body, and in an instant, a golden light enveloped his whole body.

After the golden light appeared, it spread along the surroundings, illuminating the darkness. With the brightness of the golden light, Xu Bai saw the surrounding scenery.

- A dark wilderness!

There was black grass on the ground, black clouds in the sky, and no light at all.

Similarly, there was no reference.

He didn't know where he was, but the scenery not far away shocked him.

It was a sea of ​​blood and corpses!

Countless corpses were piled up layer by layer in the wilderness in the distance, which made people's scalps numb.

"Where am I?"

After a brief moment of unconsciousness, Xu Bai quickly returned to normal, calmed himself down, and took a deep breath.

He slowly raised his feet and walked towards the sea of ​​blood and corpses in front of him.

The further he walked forward, the more he felt a strong pressure, which came from the corpses.

As he got closer, under the shining of the golden light, Xu Bai could see the appearance of the corpses clearly.

"Not human? No, most of them are not human."

Each corpse died miserably, with a look of pain on their faces, but the most important thing was that these corpses were not all human.

The corpses were all kinds of strange things. Some were human, some were beasts, and some had human bodies and beast heads. Some were even more covered with all kinds of dead vines.

These were not the most important things. The most important thing was that Xu Bai could not understand what these corpses were wearing.

The corpses were all wearing different clothes, which were very different from what Xu Bai knew.

Even in the current Great Chu State, many clothing styles were passed down from the Great Wind State, and the Great Wind State was passed down during the previous hegemony of the Ten Thousand Nations.

Although these clothing styles have changed more or less over time, their general outlines are still similar.

These corpses are different. They have no similarities. They are like clothes made out of thin air, or...

Not from this world!

This idea was very abrupt, but Xu Bai knew that he might have guessed it right.

Not long ago, Wuhua said that the person who intercepted him once told him that the things obtained from the black lotus were not from this world.

At first, Xu Bai even thought it was from the strange city or the ruins, but now it seems that it is not.

Even if they are in the Ghost City and the ruins, they wear different clothes, at least they are similar, but these corpses don't, so they may not be from this world.

Although this idea is very outrageous, Xu Bai chooses to believe it, because there is no reason not to believe it.

"So... why did you bring me here?" Xu Bai looked at the pile of corpses in front of him and muttered to himself.

He didn't know why the golden finger brought him here, so he was still confused now.

Xu Bai tried to expand his soul and use it to explore the wonders.

There are too many corpses here. If you explore them one by one, it will take a long time, but using the soul can be easier.

After a while, Xu Bai found something unusual and put away his soul.

At the bottom of the pile of corpses, where many corpses were buried, there was a book.

Xu Bai thought for a moment, and bowed to the pile of corpses in front of him, saying: "Everyone, Xu doesn't know where you came from, but you all died here, so you must be resentful. Xu wants to find out the truth this time, so he has to do it. Please forgive me."

After saying that, he didn't continue to talk too much, raised his right hand, and slowly pushed forward.

As he pushed, the pile of corpses in front of him was directly pushed away by the true energy and scattered around.

When the corpses fell at a speed visible to the naked eye, finally, the book was exposed in front of Xu Bai.

There is no progress bar, this is not related to skills.

Xu Bai took a deep breath and walked over with caution.

He thought something would happen in the middle, or there would be some danger, but everything proved that he thought too much, and there was no danger. He came to the middle naturally.

This book looks very old, there is no writing on the cover, but the paper has turned yellow, and some of the paper is stained with blood.

Xu Bai bent down and picked up the book.

The book is very thick, so thick that it can only be barely held in one hand.

After getting the book, Xu Bai had an impulse to open it.

And this impulse was infinitely magnified. In his mind, it was as if there was a voice urging him to open the book. After opening it, he would be able to know the truth of everything.

Xu Bai took a few breaths to keep himself calm, but the impulse in his mind made it impossible for him to calm down.

"Then take a look."

Since he couldn't calm down or suppress it, he would just let it go.

Xu Bai stretched out his right hand and opened the first page of the book.

When he opened it, he saw dense small characters.

But strangely, he couldn't read these characters at all.

It wasn't any of the characters he had seen, but a completely new type of characters that had nothing to do with this world.

"If I can't understand it, how can I find clues?"

Xu Bai touched his chin with his hand and thought carefully.

If he couldn't understand the characters on it, he couldn't find any clues now, so everything was just empty talk.

"Anyway, put it away first, and study it after finding a way out. Fortunately, I got this dry grass this time, otherwise it would be difficult to put such a thick book in."

Xu Bai took out the dry grass and prepared to put the book in.

Because of the way the book was placed, the angle of the book was slightly tilted, and the last few pages were subconsciously opened due to the tilt.

Xu Bai stopped and stared at the words on it, his face full of shock.
