A Demon’s Path

The delicate face of Ling Xiao's body couldn't help dripping with cold sweat, and his face was distorted.

He had killed many people in his life and seen countless corpses, but it was the first time he saw such a strange and numerous corpses!

There are hundreds of thousands of corpses in the vast ocean, if not millions!

Some of these corpses are still uncorrupted, and the facial features on their faces can still be seen clearly.

The terrified expressions of these people before they died were frozen on their faces, which was extremely strange and chilling.

As soon as he imagined their desperate mood at that time, Ling Xiao seemed to feel a strange pain in his heart.

Death is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is watching yourself die!

And the expressions on these people's faces are all like this.

In addition to the corpses of these people, there are countless corpses of animals, monsters and beasts. Their bodies are still well preserved, and their terrified expressions are no different from those of those people.

In the face of death, there is no difference between animals and people.

Such a well-preserved corpse Ling Xiao took a rough look through the sea demon clone, and it actually accounted for three-quarters of the corpses here!

As for the remaining one quarter, it had already rotted into a pile of white bones, and their original appearance could not be distinguished at all.

Before he had time to think about it, Ling Xiao manipulated the sea demon clone to move on.

If you don't use skills and the like, Ling Xiao can control this clone for about two hours now, and it has already taken half an hour now.

There is only one and a half hours for this sea demon clone to find the root of the spiritual eye.

Suppressing the feeling of vomiting in his heart, the sea monster clone swam in the black seabed while pushing aside the corpses, carefully looking for any plants with the same shape as the eyeballs.

Swimming, there were more and more corpses in front of him, countless, even Ling Xiao himself felt a little physically and mentally exhausted.

In this kind of place, even Ling Xiao, who is known as the big devil by everyone, is unwilling to stay for a while, just to find the root of the spiritual eye, there is really nothing he can do.

"Huh? This is..." The Sea Demon clone saw a large rock above the sea floor, and a strange plant grew in the middle of the rock.

The plant was as tall as a small child and had grown into a human shape.

There was a pair of eyeballs on the face of the human figure, which shone with crystal black light, which looked extraordinarily bright in the black sea water.

Ling Xiao didn't even think about it, she just dug out the eyes from the plant's face.

Puchi! The plants that had lost their eyeballs suddenly spewed blood from the two blood holes, no matter how strong Ling Xiao's heart was, she couldn't help but tremble!

The blood turned out to be red!

"The root of the spiritual eye is actually the eyes of animals and plants!" Ling Xiao's face twitched again, and a mouthful of hot blood spurted out from his throat uncontrollably.

brush! The sea demon clone jumped out from the bottom of the sea at the same instant, broke through the swamp, and flew back into Ling Xiao's body.

Ling Xiao slowly opened his eyes, looking at the extra pair of pupils on his hands.

Sure enough, the pupils of the eyes are exactly the same as those of human beings, and even the blood is the same as that of human beings.

plant? live plants? And human blood? What the hell is that!

Ling Xiao wiped away the blood from her mouth with her hand, put away the two eyeballs, and then took out a few pills for herself to swallow.

Just now, Ling Xiao didn't need too much mental power to manipulate the sea demon clone to search for the root of the spiritual eye at the bottom of the swamp. The main reason why he is very tired now is that there was too much impact on his mind.

Once a person is distracted, it will naturally consume a lot more mental energy.

It took Ling Xiao a whole day and night to recover himself this time.

It wasn't until the morning of the third day that Ling Xiao stood up, and a few strange blushes flashed across her pale face.

Obviously, his mind has not fully recovered.

"Leave this ghostly place first." Ling Xiao raised the flying boat and flew in the direction of going back.

Ling Xiao let the airship move forward automatically, while she lay on the deck thinking about how the strange marsh bottom was formed.

It would be illogical to say that the undecomposed bodies were only recently formed.

Because no one has heard of it, many people have migrated to this barren land in the past few thousand years.

Moreover, judging from the well-preserved clothes on these corpses, it can be seen that these corpses lived in a very long time since Ling Xiao is now.

Therefore, Ling Xiao came to a conclusion that seemed very impossible: these corpses were buried under the swamp when it was formed in the early days, and the bones behind were people or wild animals who strayed into the swamp and were eroded by the swamp. , the flesh rotted, and the bones sank into the black water.

The black water seems to have an antiseptic function, and the corpse will not rot anyway.

One of the questions Ling Xiao thought about next was why those people sank in the swamp, and there were so many of them.

No matter what Ling Xiao thinks this time, he can't figure out why, because there are too few clues.

After thinking about it, Ling Xiao returned to the dilapidated city where the little boy was.

"Go down and have a look?" Ling Xiao hesitated, feeling a sense of fear in his heart.

But out of strong curiosity, Ling Xiao still put away the airship and jumped onto this ruined ruins.

Inadvertently, the five dots on the demon token in Ling Xiao's space flickered, but Ling Xiao's attention was all on the ruins, so he didn't notice it.

Afterwards, that phantom city reappeared in Ling Xiao's mind.

The same people come and go, the same prosperity.

"Excuse me, how do I get to No. 6, Gujing Lane?" Ling Xiao asked a vegetable seller on the side of the road.

Those vegetable sellers said cheerfully: "Look for Xiaotao, go straight to the end of this street, and there is a small alley to the left, which is Gujing Lane. Xiaotao's home is in the sixth room of that alley." , easy to find."

"Thank you Bo." Ling Xiao bid farewell to this vegetable seller, and headed towards the direction he indicated.

Walking forward, there are fewer and fewer "people" until the end of the street, Ling Xiao finds that there is no "person" around him.

Looking to the left, there is indeed an alley there.

As soon as Ling Xiao stepped into this alley, her heart trembled involuntarily, and she didn't dare to step forward with the other foot.

He always felt that if he went any further, something terrible might happen.

To go or not to go, that is the question.

No one can answer Ling Xiao, except himself.

Go ahead, the never-before-seen vigilance made Ling Xiao restless, and he couldn't even concentrate.

If you don't go, Ling Xiao will think of that little boy named Xiaotao again, Ling Xiao will never forget the look in his expectant eyes.

"Since we're all here, why should I be afraid!" Ling Xiao straightened his mind and stepped into Gujing Lane.

This alley is not long, and the end of it is No. 6.

In front of Ling Xiao's eyes was a house formed by phantom. The strange architectural style was quite different from the present one, which made Ling Xiao feel like he was in a different world.

There are a pair of round copper rings on the door, Ling Xiao stretched out his hand to "pull", and he was able to pull it up!

Countless strange feelings arose in Ling Xiao's heart, but his hand still knocked the raised copper ring against the door twice.

Bang, bang... the door was knocked by Ling Xiao.

Then, the door creaked open, revealing the young woman's face.

The young woman had a look of surprise, enthusiasm, and incredulity, and that complicated expression made Ling Xiao feel even more chilled.

"I didn't expect you to come." The young woman politely extended her hand as a gesture of invitation: "Xiao Tao is waiting for you."

Having reached this point, Ling Xiao didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately stepped into the room.

The young woman led the way and said, "Little brother, you should know that we are no longer human beings. Why are you still willing to accept Xiaotao's invitation to come to our place?"

Ling Xiao smiled wryly: "I have something in my heart that I haven't figured out, and I feel uncomfortable."

The young woman smiled slightly: "I hope I don't scare you later."

(Uh, why does Nirvana feel that these two chapters are a bit like a science fiction novel, and a bit like a horror ghost story? Khan~ After two chapters, the fantasy style will be restored. No wonder, readers)
