Awakening of Rebirth

Chapter 16 Night Demon

This feeling was not strong, but it made her completely unable to restrain the accompanying throbbing in her heart.

"Changsheng, do you feel... There is a force coming from Wodo, like a signal, guiding us... Do you think it is the tree of life?"

Chang Sheng glanced at Jiang Zheng in surprise. Although he didn't make any response, the answer was obvious with such a gaze.

This made Jiang Zheng fall into deep thought for a while.

She was sure that there was a force guiding her ahead, but none of the four people around her noticed anything unusual, which made everything she sensed seem particularly abrupt, and she couldn't help hesitating.

Is it safe to just go on like this?Could the source of that power be the tree of life?

Why didn't others feel it, but she felt it?Is it because of being a soul body, or are there other reasons?

Jiang Zheng couldn't figure it out, and just followed the four of them silently.

Such a big talker suddenly quieted down, Chang Sheng was not used to it for a while, and looked back at her several times, afraid that she would suddenly get lost.

On the way to Wodo, Ye walked quietly beside Lin as usual, Lin's eyes were full of longing, her tone was excited and excited, and she told the three people in the same company about the few loves she had for Wodo. learn.

The story in her mouth was similar to what Ron said in the cloud tower a few months ago. It was nothing more than the withering of the tree of life, the death of the phoenix, and the elf priest who had obtained the power of immortality.

What happened in this mysterious forest has never been a secret. It is just some old legends casually brought up by storytellers in the streets and alleys, mixed with some other bizarre stories. , indeed few people will deliberately pay attention to this.

If Lin knew this, she had inquired carefully. Jiang Zheng never thought that these two partners of unknown origin could bring benefits to her and Chang Sheng in terms of intelligence.

In terms of reliability, she is more optimistic about steamed stuffed buns.

Although this dwarf's ability is not great, but whatever his thoughts are written on his face, he doesn't hide a word he wants to say, and refuses to say what he doesn't want to say. He never lies or beats around the bush to interrupt the topic.As the saying goes, height is not a problem, concentration is the essence, kind and honest people have the most sense of security, and those who have unknown origins and have tragic stories full of loopholes are simply blown away.

***

The Wodo Mountains were surrounded by layers of mist, making it hard to see from a distance. Chang Sheng and his party walked towards the mountains with great interest. After three days, they finally walked into the mysterious mountains.

At first, there was still mist covering the eyes in the mountains and forests, but as we went deeper, the mist became thinner and thinner.

When the line of sight was no longer obstructed by the fog, what appeared in their eyes was a scene that they had never heard of, seen or seen during the journey of the past few months!

Looking around, the trees of different heights have lush branches and leaves, and the canopies are layered and connected to each other, which can be said to block out the sky and block out the sun, making the light in the forest very dark.

Not only dullness, but also depression.

In this kind of place, the sun can’t be seen at all, and it’s very difficult to tell the direction. The four of them managed to tell the north and the south, and marked the way on the trees to avoid getting lost. However, after walking for a few days, they turned around several times in succession. where I have been.

There was no river to be found around here, and when the water I carried drank, I began to drink dew or rainwater.

Changsheng tried to climb up a tree to see the direction, but when he climbed to the top of a tree, he would find a taller tree. He changed several trees one after another, and it was the same. everything covered.Climbing the tree was too exhausting, not long after, Chang Sheng's physical strength was exhausted and he had to retreat to the ground.

How did the trees above these trees grow so tall?How did these trees grow so tall without the sun below them?

This is the question in everyone's mind, but there is no answer.

In the past few days, everyone is very anxious, but they have to continue to circle around here. Only Jiang Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "The elk is a cute animal, and the elk is our best partner."

As long as he sleeps in the wild, Chang Sheng will habitually volunteer to watch the first half of the night.

Fighting for life and death on the battlefield, guarding the night outside the battlefield, this princess who grew up wielding knives and guns seemed destined to be a hard worker after leaving Talan.

However, this habit is mostly related to Jiang Zheng. After all, staying up every night is to accompany her in the dead of night.

This mountain forest is really a bit mysterious. At first glance, there is no difference in the surrounding scenery. Even if you mark it and walk straight all the way, you will lose your way.In order to avoid getting lost, Chang Sheng didn't dare to take Jiang Zheng nearby as usual, but just climbed a relatively short tree.

The so-called relatively short is actually as tall as a one- or two-story house.

On the tree trunk, she and Jiang Zheng looked up at the sky, but they still couldn't see anything.

"I can't go up, can you go up and see how tall these trees are?" Chang Sheng asked in a very small voice next to Jiang Zheng's ear.

"Let me try." Jiang Zheng said, and rushed up.

It seemed short, but in fact it was a long ten minutes later, she returned to Chang Sheng's side in desperation, and said, "This concubine can't do it."

"Why?" Chang Sheng couldn't help being surprised.

"There seems to be an invisible enchantment on the top of the tree. Is it called an enchantment on your side? Anyway, I was blocked by it, and I couldn't go up at all." Jiang Zheng said, hugging his knees in sadness for a while, and at the sound of Changsheng After a soft sigh, he changed the subject and said, "How do you think these trees grow? Can the trees below get the sun?"

She said: "Is this a tropical rainforest? When I used to play minecraft, I would get lost in the tropical rainforest terrain, and then I would jump on the top of the tree and run on the leaves. will fall to the ground..."

Chang Sheng listened at the side in a daze, and kept imagining Jiang Zheng, who was so agile and light, jumping up and down in the jungle like a monkey.

"Little Shengsheng, do you think I look like a monkey?"

"..."

"That's a computer game." Jiang Zheng said, giggling: "The specialty of my hometown, you can't understand it."

Chang Sheng didn't say a word, just looked at Jiang Zheng, staring at her thoughtfully.

Jiang Zheng couldn't bear such gaze, leaned close to her ear, and said in a barely audible voice: "Actually, I saw a giant tree in the direction of Yuesheng."

"I forgot to tell you some things. On the night when the half-devil appeared, after you fell asleep, I went to find the corpse of the half-devil that you hastily buried. I wanted to confirm whether the bloody flower seal they said existed, but the corpse None were found."

As she spoke, she put her index finger on her lips, made a gesture of silence under Chang Sheng's unbelievable gaze, put her hands on the tree trunk with a smile and said nothing, raised her head halfway and swung her legs hanging in the air , looked up at the sky covered by layers of branches and leaves, then lowered his head, staring at the sleeping person beside the campfire intentionally or unintentionally.

She no longer deliberately lowered her voice: "I'm not sure if I read it wrong, the thing above is faintly visible."

The flames danced on the ground, someone opened his eyes, and closed them again after only a moment, still not escaping Jiang Zheng's gaze.

Jiang Zheng raised the corner of her mouth, and slowly wrote three sentences on the back of Chang Sheng's hand: "There is nothing on the tree." "They can see me." "I know where to go."

Can see and hear.

As much as the two have tried to cover it up along the way, there are still some tiny details that can't be erased.If it was just suspicion before, it is basically confirmed now.

Because just now, when she lowered her voice to the lowest level, the person under the tree subconsciously clenched her fist, which was a short-lived indignation caused by her inability to hear clearly.

"This broken place, can we go out?" Jiang Zheng asked nonchalantly, but wrote a sentence on Chang Sheng's hand: "Find a chance to take it, ask clearly."

Chang Sheng nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Yes."

***

Early the next morning, the four of them woke up and ate some dry food, then set out on the road again.

There are more and more marks engraved along the way, and the result is that there is a feeling of deja vu wherever you go.

Going forward meaninglessly always makes people extremely anxious. Finally, Ye stopped, raised his eyes to look above his head, and said, "I can't see the direction clearly below, where is the above?"

Changsheng looked at Jiang Zheng, and the latter blinked at her, and he understood it.

"Didn't I see it before, one floor is connected to another, it's completely blocked, and it's impossible to go up." Changsheng stepped forward and said.

"Really?" Ye asked back. Under Lin's signal, he stepped up the tree trunk and ran to the top of the tree a few times. His figure disappeared among the lush leaves.

Changsheng and Baozi are somewhat wary of her and Lin, she knows this, and Lin knows better, that they are just temporary partners and don't need much trust.She remembered that last night the ghost next to Changsheng said that there was something looming on it, no matter what it was, she went up to see for herself if the ghost didn't say anything.

Lin looked up at the direction where she disappeared, but saw a knife resting on her neck, she subconsciously wanted to fight back, but her hands were entangled to death by Chang Sheng with a piece of clothing, and her feet had been entangled at some point. A white goo sticks to it.

"A Sheng, what do you mean?" Lin looked a little panicked.

"Stop pretending, honestly explain your purpose, we can continue to cooperate!"

"I do not understand what you are saying!"

"What nonsense? Just slash her face and see if she still pretends to be fake. If she still pretends, she will take off her clothes and tie them up." Jiang Zheng said, Lin stared at her instantly, not seeing the panic just now, but more A bit ruthless, Jiang Zheng couldn't help clapping his hands, and said, "Sure enough, you can see me, little sister, it's a pity that you don't become a star with your acting skills."

"Speak less of your hometown dialect." Chang Sheng glared at Jiang Zheng.Attacking the public number: In this Guicunkuo, open the door to the orange in the orange.

"Don't be nervous, we don't have any malicious intentions, we just want to be honest with each other." Jiang Zheng said with a smile, "I was just joking just now, don't say that, you don't talk to me, do you?"

Compared with hiding a knife in a smile, there are really few people who are her opponents.

"Explain, what exactly are you and Yelai Vodo doing? And why did the corpses of the two half-devils disappear out of thin air?"

"Have you gone to see it?" After the words fell, Lin also found that her question was meaningless, so she folded her arms and said with a smile: "Too much curiosity is not a good thing."

"Who made you so suspicious? On a rainy day, why don't you go out at night without sleeping? Tatur is so big, and you are so lucky to help us when we are under attack. Don't you think it's too routine?" Jiang Zheng said Then, he took a step forward and said: "There is nothing up there, I lied to you last night, tell your friends to come down, put down your weapons, let's have a good chat."

"Is this necessary?" Lin said, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of her mouth.

At that moment, Ye rushed out from the top of the tree, unsheathed the two knives on his back, and pointed at Chang Sheng.

Changsheng reacted very quickly, turned around and hid behind Lin, seeing that the situation was not right, Ye stopped the attack almost instantly, turned around and jumped to the side, holding Baozi who was bewildered.

The dwarf's heart is almost broken, it's none of his business, he's just a big bastard who can only hear half of the content while watching a woman tearing her face apart!

"Princess Changsheng, put the knife away, maybe we can still get together, otherwise your friend..."

Chang Sheng couldn't help hesitating, and looked at Jiang Zheng.

"Then you should kill him." Jiang Zheng shrugged and said, "Where are there so many friends? It's just a little follower with a backpack, and it's not like he can't carry it."

"You..." Lin was at a loss for words.

"Your partner is ready to sacrifice you." Ye looked indifferent, and when he exerted force on his hand, a trace of blood leaked from Baozi's neck along the blade.

At the same time, Chang Sheng also instantly increased his strength, drawing a bloodstain on Lin's neck.

At that moment, Ye could see the anxiety in Chang Sheng and Jiang Zheng's eyes.

"It seems that there is still disagreement." She stopped her hands and said, "Now, do you want to think about it, let Lin go, and let's have a good chat."

Jiang Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "That won't work, what about the two of you, it's not fair."

"Aren't there two of you?"

"I'm not a human being, half a bun at most." Jiang Zheng spoke nonsense with confidence.

Ye was silent for a moment and asked, "What do you want?"

"Wait for me to think about it..." Jiang Zheng fell into deep thought for a while, pacing back and forth in front of the four of them with a deep expression, which made people a little upset.

"How long do you want to think?" Lin asked angrily.

"It's coming soon." Jiang Zheng said, clenched his fists tightly, as if he had done something absolutely, raised his eyes to say something, but suddenly his expression changed suddenly, and he pointed to one side in horror, and said, "Be careful!"

The three people except Baozi looked in the direction Jiang Zheng pointed at almost at the same time, but they saw nothing. Baozi couldn't hear such a reminder, and when Ye was distracted, he slammed his elbow back hard, Relying on the "advantage" of height, he instantly hit Ye's lower abdomen, and his whole body slammed backwards, knocking Ye to the ground.

Ye gritted his teeth and fought back, but unexpectedly Baozi was very agile and rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the pursuit of the two knives.

He crushed a medicine bottle on the ground with his backhand, a faint light flashed, and a piece of flowers and plants on the ground grew crazily for two meters in an instant.

Ye followed closely with a knife, and the pair of knives hit the dwarf hiding behind him at the moment when he chopped the unsightly flowers and plants in front of him. On Chang Sheng's side, there was no trace of blood on the cut part.

When putting away the knife, Ye saw that the blade had been wrapped in a layer of muddy yellow object, and couldn't help frowning.

"Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills." Jiang Zheng said, clapped his hands, and said, "Isn't it time to explain what we want to know?"

"What do you want to know?"

"It's really forgetful, so I'll ask them one by one." Jiang Zheng said, motioning for Chang Sheng to cooperate, Chang Sheng understood, and tilted the knife to his shoulder a little. Seeing this, Jiang Zheng continued: "First of all, those two What happened to the half-devil's body? Look into my eyes and don't play tricks, or she won't be able to keep her arm."

Lin couldn't help laughing and said: "I can't tell, Her Royal Highness is quite cruel at such a young age."

Chang Sheng didn't say a word, but bound Lin's hands a little tighter, and the long knife in her hand stuck into Lin's shoulder, the pain made her grit her teeth.

"I cleaned it up." Ye firmly held the knife in his hand, looked into Jiang Zheng's eyes, and said, "Magic flowers cannot be planted directly into people's bodies. turned into a puppet controlled by people."

"how do you know?"

"We did it. Of course I know. Princess Changsheng should know how strong a half-devil is. If I hadn't stopped manipulating and helped her, she would have won so quickly?"

Chang Sheng questioned: "Who the hell are you!"

"I'm afraid you'll regret knowing who I am." Ye said, her light gray pupils were gradually stained with blood, and the skin all over her body turned gray.

A pair of bat-like black wings grew out behind her, and with a wave of her arms, the solidified mud-yellow lump above the blade shattered instantly under the erosion of a burst of black smoke.

"Be careful!" Jiang Zheng didn't have time to remind, but Ye's speed increased a lot in an instant, and he flew in front of Chang Sheng in an instant!

Chang Sheng had no choice but to let go of Lin in his hand, swung his knife to resist, but was still repelled several meters in an instant.

too fast!

"Is this... a demon?" Baozi's eyes were full of shock.

For more than 700 years, the Kovat Fortress in the Far East has been impenetrable, and no demons have ever crossed the border. Has there ever been a trace of demons in Ainota?But isn't the woman with scarlet red and black wings in front of her the appearance of a demon?

Both Changsheng and Jiang Zheng have seen real demons, and they are sure that the other party is from the demon realm, and their eyes are full of vigilance.

Lin ran to Ye's side, frowned and said, "The seal was broken before entering Wodo, it's not easy to handle now."

"You'll be fine."

Lin raised her eyes and said, "It's okay, it hurts like hell, you have to teach them a lesson for me!"

"Run!" Jiang Zheng yelled, turned around and ran in one direction.

Chang Sheng immediately pushed Bao Zi who was still in a daze, Bao Zi reacted quickly, dropped a bottle of smoke, turned around and ran after Chang Sheng and Jiang Zheng.

There are many obstacles in the woods, and the eyes are blinded by the smoke. The flying speed of the wings should have been greatly slowed down, but the demon clan holding two knives still followed closely behind, with extremely strong demonic aura and killing intent.

Why is this Demon Race so strong!

Ye... her name is Ye...

Chang Sheng suddenly remembered the battlefield in the Far East three years later. The female demon of the Falling Wing tribe with two knives came and went freely in the formation of soldiers fighting at a very fast speed. Her long black hair and blood-colored knife tip seemed like a nightmare. , killed an unknown number of Ainota warriors.

That is the dark slave of the king, Night Demon, Lilith.

"They want to revive the demon god!" Chang Sheng suddenly stopped, clenched the long knife in his hand, his eyes were full of anger ignited by hatred.

All the things that should not have happened originated from the resurrection of the demon god. As long as we kill these minions of the demon clan who did not know when they hid in Ainota now, we will not repeat the same mistakes!

"Chang Sheng! You are no match for them!"

Jiang Zheng subconsciously reached out to stop her, but saw Chang Sheng passing through her arm, and a sense of powerlessness came to her heart for a moment.

It has been suppressed for too long, the hatred of the country and the family, it has been suppressed for too long.

Changsheng gritted his teeth and stepped forward, but was repeatedly suppressed by Lilith. In his anger, he swung the knife more and more vigorously, and the blade broke under multiple heavy impacts.

At that moment, Chang Sheng ignored the gap in his own defense, and while avoiding the vital point, he took a stab at the same time, stretched out his hand to grab the broken blade, and stabbed Lilith hard into the shoulder.

Lilith kicked Changsheng away and covered the wound in pain. Lin beside her made a seal with both hands, and the purple devilish energy instantly spread towards Changsheng and the three of them.

Suddenly, Lilith stepped forward and threw Lin to the ground. A feather arrow pierced through her black wings. She gritted her teeth to endure the severe pain, and then several arrows shot through the air. Barely blocked it, got up and helped Lilith escape into the depths of the dense forest.

Chang Sheng wanted to chase, but was stopped by a feathered arrow that almost brushed her nose.
