A strange, intermittent sound emanated from behind a towering tree.
The Gu Yu gave me a chill down my spine.
He urged Little Nine to go see it, but Little Nine said in a heavy voice, "I smell a very scary smell... I... I'm still a child, how can you bear to let me go see it?"
Gu Yu said, "I am just a powerless human being, while you are the Chaos Jiuying!"
"Although I am the Chaos Jiuying, I have just hatched!"
"I'm not good enough..."
"If you're not strong enough, why did you come along?"
"This guy has a huge addiction to vegetables!"
"..."
Little Nine was speechless at his self-righteousness.
After some pushing and shoving, the two finally decided to go see it together!
They cautiously peeked out and looked towards an ancient tree not far away.
There, too, lay piles of corpses.
It was still bleeding.
What's most unusual is that these bodies aren't mummies; they even seem to be brimming with fresh vitality.
It looks like he just died!
A blood-red Meiying loomed over the mountain of corpses, making a cracking sound.
It looks like they're feasting!
Gu Yu could clearly see that the souls of these fresh corpses were being slowly devoured by the blood-red shadow!
Gu Yu is terrifying!
Click!
He took a step back, his foot landing on the snow with a very noticeable sound.
The crimson shadow instantly stirred!
"What are you doing?" Little Nine shouted.
"I'm fucking scared! I can't help it!" Gu Yu said, feeling wronged.
"Oh no, that shadow is coming! I can feel how incredibly strong it is!" Little Nine continued to shout.
"You are the Chaos Jiuying, aren't you going to protect me?!" Gu Yu also began to shout.
"Okay, then run!"
At crucial moments, Little Nine's guardian beast genes proved to be quite strong.
It gathered its strength and then rammed into the blood-red shadow rushing towards it.
It opened its mouth wide, and from its nine gaping maws spewed out scorching fireballs!
The fireball rolled and collided with the blood-red shadow.
Suddenly, a hole appeared in the crimson shadow, swallowing all the fireballs!
Wow!
Little Nine was so shocked that all eighteen of her eyes trembled.
Before it could react, the crimson shadow rushed over with lightning speed, its bat-like body flapping towards it.
call out--
Little Nine was slapped away!
Upon seeing this, Gu Yu's heart skipped a beat. " Little Nine!"
He couldn't even defeat the Chaos Jiuying!
Seeing that Little Nine had only been thrown back and was not in any danger, Gu Yu immediately took off running towards the exit without saying a word.
The crimson shadow was even faster than him!
That red lightning bolt was chasing him one second, and the next second it appeared right in front of him!
The two were less than a meter apart!
At this moment, Gu Yu finally saw the shape of the blood-red shadow clearly.
It has two pale red eyes and a pale red mouth, making it resemble a manta ray or a bat.
With eyes and a mouth like these, you might mistake them for having no facial features if you don't look closely.
It exuded the aura of a vengeful spirit.
"Who... who are you?!" Gu Yu glared at him, her sword already drawn!
Seeing him talking to it, the crimson shadow was taken aback. Instead of rushing to attack, it slowly stopped.
It patted its head, as if trying to recall something.
"Who I am?
"That's a very distant question. Let me think... who could I be?"
"Ah, I... I remember now, I was Qing, the Heavenly Emperor Qingli's guard. After he died, he wanted to take me with him as a sacrifice. I didn't want to die, so to survive, I had to frantically absorb the blood and souls of those who died here. Every time I absorbed enough blood, I would gain ten years of lifespan, and I could live for ten years!"
The crimson shadow seemed unfamiliar with speaking at first, but he got used to it and became more and more fluent.
It stared intently at the Gu Yu with its long, narrow, but sharp eyes, a bloodthirsty smile on its face.
"Don't try to sway me with those words. Those people were too thoroughly dead; they didn't have any good energy for me to plunder. But you're different. You're fresh, a living person, and your cultivation is even higher than theirs..."
It gradually led it towards Gu Yu!
Gu Yu's eyes widened, and he retreated step by step.
"You're not going to eat me, are you?"
"Isn't my idea obvious enough?"
"My meat is sour!"
"I told you, I want to drink blood."
"My blood is full of urine, I'm sick, I have a very serious illness!"
In order to survive, Gu Yu has begun to make fun of itself.
The crimson shadow didn't want to waste any more time with him. It pounced suddenly, unleashing a surge of power that tightly pulled itself and the Gu Yu together!
The crimson shadow opened its mouth wide, revealing sharp, pulled teeth.
Click!
It bit down on the Gu Yu's left shoulder!
A sharp, stinging pain made Gu Yu break out in a cold sweat, and he felt his blood being drawn out of his body, which terrified him!
He can't let himself be sucked to death!
This way of dying is just too pathetic!
In his eyes, the most honorable way to die is to die in battle, not to stand still and be sucked to death!
The blood of those with exceptional human lineage was quickly absorbed by the crimson shadow.
Gu Yu felt dizzy and lightheaded!
It is foreseeable that the more blood he loses, the darker his vision becomes, the colder his body grows, until finally, he completely loses his sight and never wakes up again!
The Gu Yu jade shuddered!
"Damn it, I can't die! I haven't found the Qingli Realm with my master yet! I haven't reached the pinnacle of life with my master yet! If I die here, what will people think of my reputation?! It will make me look so incompetent!"
"You fucking bastard! Keep sucking my blood! Are you some kind of mosquito?!"
"Ouch! Is there glue in this?!"
Gu Yu struggled desperately, and the veins on his neck bulged out.
But his strength is far inferior to that of the Crimson Shadow.
No matter how hard they struggled, it was all in vain.
A crimson shadow lay on his shoulder, greedily sucking his blood.
Upon seeing the blood-red shadow, Gu Yu gritted his teeth, steeled his resolve, lowered his head, and bit down on what appeared to be the shadow's neck!
With his strongest teeth, his incisors and canines, he viciously and deeply stabbed down.
Aww!
The blood-red shadow let out a scream.
Its blood was instead absorbed by the Gu Yu!
The shadow twisted and thrashed wildly, punching and pounding at the Gu Yu. The Gu Yu remained unmoved, and even though its head was bleeding profusely from the blows, it did not let go.
Hold on tight!
The crimson shadow has cultivated for a thousand years, and its energy has long been integrated into its blood.
Gu Yu absorbs its blood, and in doing so, it also absorbs its energy.
As time passed, the crimson shadow lost too much blood and gradually withered away; it was now half-dead.
Gu Yu still dares not budge!
I won't be at ease until the Crimson Shadow is completely dead!
