Chapter 45: The Origin Crystal(1/2)
"Quick, don't let someone run away-"
In the dim fork in the road, a group of figures ran by quickly.
It seems to be chasing someone.
Chen Peiyao leaned against the mossy wall, looking nervous.
It was not until the figures disappeared from sight that she let go of her tight crossbody bag and she breathed a little relieved.
In fact, she knew very well that it was not safe for a woman to walk at night.
But there was no way, because Xiao An had been recuperating in the medical and physical education bureau after that day. As a colleague and sister, she naturally could not ignore it, so she immediately went to Xiao An to visit her after get off work.
But even after just staying for a while, the sky gradually darkened, which made her have to be careful on the way back!
Fortunately, there was no danger. Those guys just now seemed to be not bad guys.
Maybe it's plainclothes!
Thinking of this, she slowly walked towards another fork in the fork, a downhill with a slanted angle and a messy stone steps.
This is her only way home.
But today seems a bit different from usual.
Because there was a homeless man lying on the stone steps, his body covered with a woven mat, motionless and his chest did not rise or fall. I wonder if he was asleep.
She was a little scared.
But the man lay there, almost blocking most of the way. In desperation, Chen Peiyao could only pluck the courage to pass by the man.
"Crazy--"
In the darkness, the mat suddenly stretched out a dry, spotted hand, and grabbed her ankle tightly.
Chen Peiyao was so scared that she was frightened and subconsciously broke free, but the other party was extremely strong and her ankle was firmly held by her palms and could not get out.
"Come on, there's a fire-"
In addition to being frightened, she did not forget to call loudly, trying to use her voice to attract others to deter the homeless man.
But the man's arm was like iron casting ground. With a gentle pull, her whole body fell down involuntarily.
With a "bang", my body hit the steps.
Chen Peiyao's whole body was sore, blood flowed from her forehead, and she couldn't help but let out a painful whisper.
At this time, the homeless man who was originally lying on the ground seemed to have been cheated, and directly tore open the mat with great force and sat up suddenly.
His red eyes were covered with blood, his pupils were white, and even his hideous face was covered with purple-red corpse spots.
He, no, should be it!
It shaking, its joints were extremely stiff, and it slowly stood up in a very incongruous manner with hands and feet.
His body did not move, but his head was strangely broken, and he forced himself to stare at Chen Peiyao, and even a sound of bone cracks sounded on his neck.
This is no longer a human, this is a monster!
"What the hell is it...what?"
Chen Peiyao's eyes widened in fear and couldn't help swallowing hard.
"roar……"
The monster let out a tiger-like roar from his mouth, and then moved towards Chen Peiyao shakingly.
In a panic, Chen Peiyao took out a fruit knife from her pocket.
Since that night, she has been carrying a knife every day.
Stressingly, Chen Peiyao stood up, holding the fruit knife and facing the other person.
The monster was not fast, and it didn't kill, dodge or avoid, and hit the tip of the knife little by little.
The fruit knife pierced the clothes and then pierced the skin, and the handle of the knife gradually penetrated into the monster's lower abdomen.
But the monster did not fall, but Chen Peiyao retreated to the wall.
It stared at Chen Peiyao, and slowly opened its mouth, opened it, and then opened it, and the bloody corners of its mouth collapsed until it broke into the ear!
Chen Peiyao was so scared that she became weak because the scene in front of her had exceeded her cognition.
The huge mouth with a fishy smell was breathing heat, and then it suddenly approached, as if it wanted to swallow Chen Peiyao's head in one go!
"hiss……"
Chen Peiyao took a breath, feeling her hair suddenly rising and the back of her neck became cold!
She wanted to hide, but there was a cold wall behind her.
The huge mouth was getting closer and closer to her. Chen Peiyao did not close her eyes, but stared at it with wide eyes.
"Puchi--"
The sword light flew over at high speed, and the monster's head soared into the sky.
The scorching knife light melted the solidified dark red blood clots, and countless blood spots splattered on Chen Peiyao's white face.
She shook her body in dismay and watched the monster in front of her fall to the ground.
Behind the monster, a slightly familiar face appeared.
The man smiled, with only half of his tongue in his mouth.
“Yes, it’s you—”
The other party did not respond.
After a while, his footsteps fell on the steps, but he stepped on the air and fell down.
His body rolled down the slope.
Chen Peiyao saw the bright red all over the ground, the blood flowing from his body...
...
...
Gu Xiaoren sat in the door of wonders, with stars and gray mist under his feet.
But his attention did not rest here, but fell on the "Yin Fu Jing" floating in front of him.
Because Gu Xiaoren felt something was wrong with it today.
Since the Nine-Eyed Dragon Fish was lit last time, Gu Xiaoren has been placing A Jing inside the Gate of Miao.
But for so many days, it has not lit up any starlight in the gray fog. Gu Xiaoren believes that A Jing is passive and lazy, and with the fact that there are many things recently, he has not been able to take care of it for a while.
How could I know that when I entered the Gate of All Wonders today, I found that the entire space was lit up!
Gu Xiaoren counted carefully and found that there were seventeen lit stars in the boundless gray fog, which made him almost think that his old eyes were blurred and hallucinated!
But in fact, he could indeed sense things in the seventeen areas, and even as long as he wanted, he could pull up anything in the area that was no more than one level or more.
This abnormal situation did not make Gu Xiaoren happy. Instead, he stared at A Jing with some suspicion.
Isn't this guy planning to pass it?
Otherwise, how could so many star areas be lit?
Although A Jing is also a legendary book, compared with those who have been promoted from level one to level six and entered the legend, it is obviously very immature. It is not a good thing for its growth to be squandered and use the power of legends with excessive amounts.
As a wise creature who awakened his "will", A Jing would never be so short-sighted. Is it a metaphor for something?
Gu Xiaoren tried to communicate with it, but A Jing looked simple and unpretentious, like an ordinary book, floating in the air without any response.
Seeing A Jing ignore him, Gu Xiaoren couldn't help but sigh.
But at this moment, he glanced at him and found that the Yin Fu Jing suddenly moved.
It slowly floats over an area that is lit by itself.
Gu Xiaoren remembers that it belongs to the star direction that lights up the nine-eyed dragon fish.
He walked over and found that the nine-eyed dragon fish's stars were dim and had obviously fallen with the out-of-control extraordinary book.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoren stretched out his hand and pointed at the star, trying to pull the body of the Nine-Eyed Dragon Fish up to take a look.
But the illusory stars suddenly shattered.
Gu Xiaoren saw the door of wonders open from the shattered stars, and two dazzling crystal stones emerged from it.
He was slightly stunned, and finally waved his hand and took the crystal stone into the palm of his hand.
【Extraordinary Original Crystal】
[Description: As the crystals after the fall of the Book of Extraordinary and the extraordinary creatures, the original crystal contains the power of the rules of their respective schools]
[Note: Using special means to stimulate the origin crystal can act as a barrier, and vice versa, it can also interfere with the barrier power of each school]
Gu Xiaoren blinked and stayed there for a moment.
At this time, he seemed to have thought of something.
