There is a demon at sunrise

The first thing Meng Ji saw when he arrived was Qi Xiu. Qi Xiu had bloody wounds on his thighs and back, and he just wrapped it up with cloth. He was wearing a leather jacket, and he was smoking a cigarette on the long steps of the school gate. .Qi Xiu propped his elbows on the back steps, stretched out his two long legs, and stared into the distance in a daze.Like an old hooligan meditating after a fight.

The moment Meng Ji saw him, he was stunned for a moment, his heart beating violently, until he saw Zhao Yao next to him, who was sitting two meters away from Qi Xiu with his knees hugged, with a blanket on his body, his face There is no expression.

Qi Xiu didn't make a move, Meng Ji realized this, his heart sank, and his face was no longer tense.

Qi Xiu sensed Meng Ji's existence and looked at him through the smoke for a while. Meng Ji had injuries on both wrists. It seemed that he escaped with brute force. He was probably afraid that he would kill Zhao Yao.

Meng Ji first checked Zhao Yao's condition and found that the other party had no injuries, then turned to look at Qi Xiu's condition, Qi Xiu was seriously injured, Meng Ji pressed his palm on the other party's thigh without saying anything The coldness seeps through the bandages.

Meng Ji was very close to him, and he no longer cared about the quarrel, and looked like a little daughter-in-law with his head bowed to heal his wounds.

"I didn't do anything." Qi Xiu looked at the little white hair in front of him and said.

"Yes." Meng Ji focused on Qi Xiu's wound, and replied perfunctorily.

Qi Xiu was very dissatisfied with this answer, restrained the urge to spray smoke on Meng Ji's face, and asked again: "Am I good?"

It sounded like asking for a reward.

"Oddly obedient." Meng Ji's answer was even more perfunctory, completely uninterested in Qi Xiu's question, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with him?"

He was referring to Zhao Yao. Zhao Yao was wrapped in a blanket and a red scarf was wrapped around his right hand. It was something Zhao Yao gave Xie Yue for Christmas ten years ago.

"Xie Yue is gone." Qi Xiu said.

He paused before saying the second sentence: "He asked me to take Zhao Yao to a safe place."

Qi Xiu's two sentences were very simple, especially as soon as the second sentence was uttered, Meng Ji immediately knew what he meant.Xie Yue is a first-rank demon, if even Meng Ji finds out that the hibiscus tree is alive, then Xie Yue must know it too.

"Before he left, he gave Zhao Yao a wish."

Xie Yue asked Zhao Yao to make a wish to him, and then left. Before leaving, Xie Yue said that she would come back to find him.

But both Qi Xiu and Meng Ji knew that it was impossible.

Only Zhao Yao was still waiting for Xie Yue to come back.

A monster accepts that human beings' wishes must be fulfilled, otherwise there will be catastrophe, otherwise Xie Yue would not be so persistent in fulfilling the wish that Xie Yue gave Zhao Yao back then.

Qi Xiu and Meng Ji looked at each other, they had a tacit understanding, and Meng Ji could guess what the second half of Qi Xiu's unspoken sentence was: Don't tell Zhao Yao the truth.

The hibiscus tree is so legendary that Xie Wuhui or Zhao Yao may have never heard of it in their lifetime. Zhao Yao may think that Xie Yue just left for a while.

After a while, the government disaster relief bus arrived. Meng Ji took Zhao Yao's hand and let him get on the bus. Zhao Yao didn't respond at first, and he was unmoved after talking several times, like a lonely dog ​​abandoned by its owner. puppy.

Even Qi Xiu felt a little annoyed, and wanted to knock Zhao Yao unconscious and forcefully take him away.

"Sorry," Meng Ji said softly, "Xie Yue said to let me take care of you." This is not a lie, Meng Ji promised Xie Yue to take care of him as early as the day Zhao Yao entered Sanyin Mansion.

After he finished speaking, Zhao Yao's eyes moved, and then he looked at him without blinking, as if he recognized who the person in front of him was.

Meng Ji went to hold Zhao Yao's hand again, this time Zhao Yao obediently followed him.

Zhao Yao sat by the window, Qi Xiu and Meng Ji squeezed into one seat, and the government disaster relief bus was patrolling the city, looking for those survivors or those who obeyed the order to isolate at home, there were not enough seats, two chairs There are three people sitting in a row, like a family of three.

The bus drove slowly through the city, and the heavy snow was still falling, falling like ashes.There are ruins on both sides of the road, the commercial street has been turned into ruins, and half of a street is burning, probably because it has been attacked by bullets/munitions.The tone of this world has become very uniform, with black scorching marks, red flames, and dead buildings filling the world.

This is the color of war.

Occasionally their car would stop, pick up two ordinary people in need, and move on to the next location, continuing the action.

At 45:[-] in the evening, a mother came up holding her child, and her man snatched away the only ticket, leaving only the two of them.The child probably cried before, but now he has no strength left, and leans against her arms without making a sound.The mother sat in the row behind Zhao Yao with him in her arms. She patted her child gently and sang a song with a very gentle voice.

The song she sang was very old, probably a folk song of a minority ethnic group. He couldn't understand the lyrics and could only understand some tones. The melody was very ethereal, but when he listened carefully, he could hear a sense of power, like a bent bow , has not stopped until the extreme.

Qi Xiu seemed to be infected by her, he followed her and hummed randomly, and then people in the carriage followed one after another, singing one after another above his head, as if only in this way the haze above would not be so heavy.

At 56:[-], Zhao Yao kept staring out the window, imagining what Xie Yue was doing.

When Xie Yue reached the commercial street, the formation of the human army was already scattered, and half of the commercial street collapsed completely, leaving an abyss in the center of the ground, so deep that people didn't even have the courage to look directly into the abyss.The little monsters that came out were dealt with in various ways, but the biggest Zhuyan monster bone couldn't be killed no matter what, and the wounds that were finally caused would heal on their own.

Zhu Yan was probably still under the influence of the underground seal. At this time, most of his body got out of the ground, and the part below his knees was still in the abyss.He should have been trapped, white snowflakes were falling, an abyss suddenly appeared in the center of the city, and an ancient beast came out, it was like a painting.

This may be the first time the military has fully seen Zhu Yan's appearance.It looks like a huge ape, with red limbs and a pure white head. His eyes should have pupils, but now they are pitch black. Losing the demon element, he seems to have lost his soul, his movements are slow, and his state is even worse. Approach a beast rather than a monster.

It is precisely because of this that humans have been able to mediate with him for so long, a huge capture net hangs over Zhu Yan, and the electric shock has no major effect on him, but instead irritates him.

While struggling, Zhu Yan knocked down a helicopter in mid-air.

The helicopter was emitting black smoke, spinning downwards, and the pilot above opened the parachute to jump out of the plane, but the current landing situation is too bad, the landing target site is too complicated and not wide at all, instead there are ruins everywhere, seeing him He was about to smash into the concrete and steel bars on the side, when suddenly a gust of evil wind blew, and he fell to the ground lightly like a leaf lifted by the wind.

The soldier saw Xie Yue at that time. Xie Yue didn't retract his wings. His six-meter-long wings spread out. His long hair was loose and his eyes were full of green. He looked like a monster.

He recognized who this monster was almost instantly. It had been exposed on social media, and the arrest warrant has not expired so far.He once jumped down from the [-]th floor, smashed a helicopter with his bare hands, and slaughtered monsters in a club. He had watched the video of that slaughter, and he could smell the pungent smell of blood through the screen. Any anomalous killing he experienced was horrific.

The soldiers have received formal training, and they will kill all monsters when they see them, and there is no room for them.He instinctively untied the gun on his back, and was about to aim at Xie Yue, when this big bird-like monster suddenly looked back at him, with a pair of beautiful eyes, just a faint glance, without any murderous intent, but he Was shocked on the spot.

The next moment, Xie Yue withdrew his gaze, and with a movement of his palm, the soil beside him suddenly loosened, and a steel bar broke out of the ground, and fell into Xie Yue's palm with a snap.

Before the soldiers could react, Xie Yue jumped up, and when his wings flapped, it seemed to bring a gust of wind.Xie Yue was noticed within five meters of Zhu Yan. Zhu Yan was only slow in his movements and did not lose his ability. He let out a roar in the direction of Xie Yue. The air was like Zhu Yan's weapon, scraping Xie Yue's skin like a sharp blade.

At that time, the military also thought about letting one monster fight another monster, but the highest level monster they could find was only the second rank.Pu Xiao's nine-tailed fox is a pacifist and has never used a knife or gun in his life.Compared with Zhu Yan, Xie Yue's figure is really too small, so when Xie Yue used the discarded steel bar as a weapon to cut off Zhu Yan's knee, his first reaction was not to believe it.

Large swaths of blood mist sprayed out like rain, half of Xie Yue's body was covered with blood, and half of his wings turned blood red. He looked like a murderer now.

But Xie Yue was not so relaxed. Sure enough, when Xie Yue stabbed Zhu Yan, the hair on Zhu Yan's surface suddenly became extremely sharp, like the spines of a hedgehog.Xie Yue couldn't dodge in time, the sharp blade like ice stabbed him in the abdomen. 1000 years later, Xie Yue lost in the same place.

At [-]:[-], Xie Yue and Zhu Yan confronted each other for the first time, and they were seriously injured in the abdomen.

Xie Yue was forced to retreat a full 100 meters, half kneeling on the ground, clutching his abdomen, cold blood poured out from between his fingers, and soon soaked the ground.It's not a loss to hurt Zhu Yan's kneecap at the price of his abdomen.

Zhu Yan injured his knee and made a loud noise when he knelt down on the ground. He roared angrily and called Qingluan in the language of the monster clan, he recognized Xie Yue.

Zhu Yan's roar seemed to have substance, like a hurricane suddenly blew up, and the walls of the three houses closest to him were shattered by him.

And Xie Yue looked at him, he was holding a rusty iron rod, blood was dripping from it, half of it was Zhu Yan's and half was his.Xie Yue supported the ground with an iron rod, and took out an iron wine jug, which was given to him by Qi Xiu. It was originally used to hold whiskey, but now it is used to hold Zhao Yao's demon blood.Black and red blood was poured onto the iron rod, surrounding the iron rod like a poisonous snake, emitting a strange red light.

Zhu Yan felt that someone was playing tricks on him. A weapon appeared in his hand, like a huge ice edge. Xie Yue had seen it before. This thing was more lethal than any weapon invented by humans. When he threw it The strong wind even seemed to be raining knives, destroying everything within a radius of [-] meters.

Anything that tried to get close to Zhu Yan would melt. Tanks, tall buildings, and trees would all be vaporized, including the soldiers who hadn't had time to escape. There were a few who were close to Zhu Yan. They couldn't react at all, and soon a burst of high temperature melted them. His armor melted into a puddle of blood without even feeling the pain of death.

This is the end.

The ice edge pierced into the ground, and a three-meter crack opened in the ground. Zhu Yan was very strong. Xie Yue had experienced it 1000 years ago. On the ground, his skin was as hard as armor, but he could feel the piercing pain, as if the fine needles flying all over the sky were all pressing on his back.Xie Yue didn't retreat, he squeezed the iron rod in his hand, aiming at Zhu Yan's heart.

The battle that was not won 1000 years ago will be brought back together today.

Xie Yue gritted her teeth, and suddenly flew into the air, her green pupils seemed to be burning.Zhu Yan sensed what he wanted to do almost at the same moment, reached out and grabbed Xie Yue's wings and threw him out.However, it was too late, the iron rod in Xie Yue's hand sank deeply into his heart.Zhu Yan lowered his head in disbelief, it was hard to imagine that Qingluan would have such great power in a thousand years.

Xie Yue's back smashed into a 30-meter-high building, and his internal organs were not injured when his wings were rolled up. The pain of the torn wings came from behind, affecting his nerves.

He looked up regardless of his injuries, and when he saw what was happening, he felt a biting despair.

Zhu Yan's wound healed by itself, and half of the steel bar with the demon's blood melted into the wound.His Yaoyuan is on Zhao Yao, as long as Zhao Yao is alive, Zhu Yan will never die, no matter how big the wound is, it will heal on its own.

And it is impossible for Xie Yue to have the strength to spend time with Zhu Yan here, his Yaoyuan will be exhausted, but Zhu Yan will not, because Zhao Yao is nurturing him.

Either Zhao Yao's death would end everything, or Zhu Yan found Zhao Yao and took away the Yaoyuan from his body.

With no other options, it's an impasse.

At [-]:[-], the bus where Zhao Yao was on was distributing meals, and a very gentle man was distributing milk and bread.

Zhao Yao took the cold milk and held it in the palm of his hand. He still had the red children's scarf wrapped around his palm, as if he was afraid that the scarf would be thrown away. The same is welded in the palm of the hand.

There were some noises from the commercial street, like an earthquake, and people are used to it. The human army has been stationed in the abyss for the past two days, and there are often big noises.The bus shook for a while, Zhao Yao was [-] kilometers away from the commercial street, but he could clearly hear the voice there.

"The road ahead has collapsed, let's change the road." The driver actually wanted to swear, but he was afraid that his emotions would infect others, so he tried to remain professional at this time.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry." Meng Ji was comforting him.

Zhao Yao didn't say anything, and kept looking at Zhu Yan's direction. He could feel Zhu Yan's state, and the other party was full of energy and possessed infinite power.

Xie Yue stood up, his broken wings were hanging crookedly behind his back, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the abdominal wound.And Zhu Yan's ice edge has already been thrown again.The air was pierced, as if being cut, and the despair could be felt from a long distance away.

Xie Yue gritted her teeth, and made an unimaginable move. She slapped the bloody palm on the ground. The blood of the purebred blood seeped into the ground and slowly penetrated into the depths. Xie Yue closed her eyes, as if she was using her own Blood nourishes the earth.

His face is getting paler, blood is draining, Yaoyuan will become weaker and weaker, his palms hurt, the land seems to come alive, sucking his palms like blood-sucking leeches longing for more blood, but Xie Yue's hands Without moving an iota, he was calling for something.

The young soldier couldn't understand what Qingluan, a rank one monster, was doing.

Xie Yue was looking down at the ground, but suddenly raised his eyes, his green pupils seemed to be burning, and he shouted: "Get up!"

Suddenly, there was a sound from the depths of the abyss, which was very light, like a stone falling to the ground.Immediately afterwards, a louder sound came out, as if a stone had cracked.They thought it was an illusion, but after listening carefully for a while, something really broke through the soil.

A green seedling suddenly appeared in the ruins where the abyss was located, forming a sharp contrast with the ashen ruins. It looked so small, as if it would fall down when the wind blows, as if it would perish immediately if people stepped on it.

Xie Yue's blood was flowing, it was natural at first, but later the thing that sucked him became overbearing, almost eating his palm.

Holding a gun, the young soldier fell to the ground in a comical way. Seeing the seedlings began to grow, and soon exceeded one meter, he slowly raised his head until he began to look up at this thing growing out of the abyss.It takes less than a minute for it to grow from a seedling to a towering tree. The tree rises from the ground, covering the sky and the sun. The thickness of the trunk is even comparable to a building, and it is even growing like a giant skyscraper.

Hibiscus tree, juxtaposed with Jianmu tree, the two great sacred trees between heaven and earth, has been sleeping for more than 3000 years. It is hundreds of times stronger than the gate built by the bones of thousands of demons. Wherever it stands, it is a wall of copper and iron, even a fly Don't even think about flying out.Fusang's nature is difficult to tame, and there is no distinction between good and evil. At this time, Xie Yue forcibly awakens her.

The rustling sound of Fusang leaves was like the collision of iron, as if one stepped into Wanjia Knife Tomb, where the bones are buried, he is not as gentle as Jianmu, and Fusang needs blood to make offerings.

His voice was deep, and his chest hummed loudly when he spoke: "Do you know what it takes to summon me?"

"Ah, I know." Xie Yue, with disheveled hair and disheveled hair, had a broken wing, and his abdomen was still bleeding. Even though he was so embarrassed, he still maintained his usual peacock-spreading posture. He looked up at the huge Fusang , any monster looks very small in front of him, whether it is Zhu Yan or Qingluan.

Xie Yue said: "A whole body of demon bones, you can take it if you want."

What he said was so indifferent and relaxed.As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yan Binglen who was close at hand suddenly stopped, as if being pulled by a force, everything came to an abrupt end.

At 35:[-], Xie Yue made a deal with the hibiscus tree at his own expense.

At 35:[-], the bus that Zhao Yao was on broke down, and the driver got out of the bus to repair the vehicle. Anxiety spread in the car, and many people speculated whether they could reach the dungeon safely.

At this time, the baby behind Zhao Yao suddenly started to cry for no reason, no matter how much his mother coaxed him, it was useless.

"Xie Yue lied to me, right?" Zhao Yao asked suddenly, his voice was very soft.

Meng Ji didn't know how to answer, he didn't want to lie, so he didn't speak.

The red scarf strangled Zhao Yao's hand a little, and wrapped him like a shackle, making it difficult to breathe, "What did Xie Yue do?"

Zhao Yao shouted loudly: "Speak!"

Many passengers in the car looked over, Qi Xiu and Meng Ji looked like two children who did something wrong, none of them had the heart to speak, Zhao Yao understood something in a flash, he blinked, feeling that everything in front of him was ridiculous, "He told me I would come back, he lied to me, right?"

There was nothing unusual when Xie Yue left. He returned the apple and scarf to Zhao Yao, and asked him to go to his house to pick up his Maine Coon cat when he was free.

He said the cat had absorbed his aura and could survive without cat food.But pork is very clingy, and it will be lonely when alone, so Zhao Yao should spend more time with him.

He gave Zhao Yao a blanket, saying that he was afraid that Zhao Yao would be cold.

Xie Yue also said that he is omnipotent, he is going to accept Zhao Yao's wish, and asked him to wait for him to go home.

"Can you..." Zhao Yao couldn't continue, his voice became hoarse, almost begging, "Can you talk to me."

Don't say nothing, can you tell me what's wrong?

Suddenly there was a loud noise from the commercial street, which was completely different from the previous noise. It seemed that something had exploded. Zhao Yao turned his head and widened his eyes.

At 36:[-], in the abyss of the commercial street, the banging of hibiscus leaves suddenly stopped, as if someone had pressed the pause button.A second later, blood-red vines gushed out from the abyss, and countless vines entangled Zhu Yan's body. Zhu Yan was so ferocious that he subconsciously wanted to break free, and all the vines that tried to get close to him were cut off in an instant.

Xie Yue jumped up and returned to his original appearance in the air. The green luan is the most beautiful bird in the world. Legend has it that King Kubin tried his best to catch a blue luan.His wings spread and his feathers glistened, which would have been almost a sight if it weren't for the blood on his belly.

Qingluan rushed towards Zhu Yan, and the moment he hugged Zhu Yan, the sharp thorns on Zhu Yan's body pierced his body. He seemed to be pierced by thousands of arrows, but he didn't let go even in such pain.

The next moment, the hibiscus vines rolled up, and Zhu Yan still wanted to struggle, probably because of Xie Yue's shackles, he couldn't move a little bit.After a while, the fusang vines completely enveloped Zhu Yan, including Xie Yue of course. The fusang was like a meat grinder that was constantly tightened, and people could hear the sound of bones breaking after a long time.

Fusang is eating.

No one dared to disturb her, Fusang was bloodthirsty, slept for 3000 years, and had to see the demon bone when she was born.

No one in this world can escape.

"A miracle!" Someone in the carriage exclaimed, it was ten nineteen.

A towering tree grew out of thin air in the direction of the commercial street, bigger than a skyscraper. At this time, it blocked the sky and the sun, and even the direction of the bus could be seen.Zhao Yao was stunned for a long time without knowing what it was, until someone in the car asked, "Is that Fusang?"

There was a crash, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on Zhao Yao's head, and his heart gradually became cold. Now he can understand what happened outside without Meng Ji.

Zhao Yao pushed Meng Ji away, he walked a little unsteadily, struggling to move forward in the crowded corridor of the carriage.

"Where are you going? The car is about to be repaired." Qi Xiu grabbed Zhao Yao's hand, and compared to Meng Ji's gentleness, there was an undeniable strength in him.

Zhao Yao looked back at him, he didn't say anything, his eyes revealed a silent despair, let me go, don't let me here.

I beg you.

Qi Xiu seemed to be pricked by a needle, he let go of his hand and let Zhao Yao get out of the car.

Zhao Yao stumbled when he came down, the waste stones in the snow seemed to be difficult for him, he fell in the snow, his whole body seemed to lose strength, there was no demon energy in his body, Zhu Yan Being sealed by Fusang, the Yaoyuan in Zhao Yao's body was also forced to fall into a deep sleep.Xie Yue finally gave him a blanket, knowing that he would feel cold afterwards.

He even thought of this.

Zhao Yao got up, the gravel cut his elbow, the pain and cold broke out together, he walked through the abandoned city, looking at the direction where Zhu Yan was walking step by step.

He forgot how far he had walked, until his legs were numb, as if he had been filled with lead, and he could no longer walk.

He knelt down in the snow and looked up at the huge hibiscus tree. They all said it was a miracle, but Zhao Yao only felt fear. The sacred tree was a huge man-eating monster. lost his lover.

The snowflakes fell and slowly accumulated a layer of snow on his body. Zhao Yao's body stiffened, motionless like a sculpture.

Zhao Yao closed his eyes, and then slowly opened them again, like a blind patient opened his eyes to see the world for the first time, but no matter whether he opened his eyes or closed them, the outside was as dark as the inside.

He thought that he might never see that beautiful monster again.
