C576 Hallucination
All Zhou Yi knew about this bone mountain was the information Duan Hong gave him.
For example, that Celestial Demon.
Zhou Yi felt that what the Celestial Demon looked like, and what realm they had reached, might not be the truth.
Therefore, after Duan Hong's death, Zhou Yi's worries became even more intense.
Originally, there was at least one human on this mountain. Now that he's dead, Zhou Yi is the only one left.
Zhou Yi didn't know why that damn Demon Eye had left him there, nor did he know why it had left him there.
And that was only the Celestial Demon, how many years had it slept for? Was that so-called sleeping figure for fifty years accurate?
Ever since Zhou Yi came out from the Residual Sword, he couldn't stop thinking about these questions.
Moreover, he discovered that the chance of the skeletons appearing was very low. Previously, there were traces of them appearing almost everywhere, but now, he had found this cave, and there were no signs of skeletons appearing.
Normally speaking, this should be a good thing. At least it proved that Zhou Yi was much safer.
However, Zhou Yi was the exact opposite. He felt that the level of danger had increased by a lot.
Night had already fallen. Zhou Yi sat cross-legged in the cave with his eyes slightly lowered. He was still studying the contents recorded in the goatskin scroll.
Through studying the items there, Zhou Yi combined them with his own body and felt that he had benefited greatly from it.
Time flew by, and the moonlight tonight had turned into a soft, clear white. It was no longer the golden color from before.
Zhou Yi couldn't help but sigh, "It seems like this gold doesn't exist every day!"
Tonight, not only was the moonlight normal, there wasn't even a skeleton to be seen. Even the corrosive fog, Zhou Yi didn't see any of it.
"Huh?" Zhou Yi exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the white moon in the sky.
Everything was so quiet that it didn't seem real.
Staring at the moon in the sky for a while, Zhou Yi still couldn't see anything. In the end, he could only return to the cave and sit down to cultivate for a while.
But at this moment, the cave suddenly shook.
Zhou Yi didn't have much strength, so it could be said that he was very gentle. Zhou Yi even thought that he was hallucinating.
Ka-cha! * A sound came from the cave. It was not loud, but in this quiet night, where there was not even the chirping of insects or the chirping of birds, the sound was extremely clear.
Zhou Yi walked out of the cave quickly.
The moonlight was like water, illuminating the ground and making it cool and refreshing. Zhou Yi still couldn't find any problems.
Boom!" Just as he was about to turn around, a loud sound was heard. Zhou Yi turned his head abruptly and saw a hundred-year-old tree not far away had been blown into the air by an energy.
Zhou Yi knew that the person who attacked was definitely not much stronger than Duan Hong. At that time, Duan Hong kicked a big tree with several people holding hands into the air, but that big tree was like the sky above the tree.
And now, this huge tree was blown into smithereens in mid-air.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Following that, more trees were blasted into the sky.
Zhou Yi narrowed his eyes. Up till now, he still did not know who did it. Furthermore, he had not decided whether to stay or run.
If it was running, Zhou Yi felt that the chances of him getting out of this mountain were slim.
Most importantly, he didn't even know how to run. Where should he run to?
However, if they were to stay here, there was a way to try it. That was to try to grab onto this person or thing and force them to find out where they could leave from.
Thus, after Zhou Yi thought about the question, he had an answer.
He turned around and hid back into the cave. Then, he sealed up the cave entrance with a bunch of weeds. Zhou Yi hid inside the cave and observed the outside carefully, waiting for the right time.
However, at this moment, a crisp sound came from the cave he was hiding in. Following that, a crack suddenly appeared on the wall.
Then the second, the third...
Zhou Yi ran out of the cave in a hurry. The moment he turned around, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Under the white moonlight, the bright mountain range had already turned blood-red. Even the moon in the sky had turned a shade of red.
The ground cracked, and a few meters wide fissure snaked out from the ground all the way to the entrance of Zhou Yi's cave.
Ka-cha! * Zhou Yi suddenly turned his head around. The cave he just hid in was already filled with countless cracks. Zhou Yi didn't even think before flying backwards.
The moment he left, the cave exploded with a bang.
Countless rocks shot out from the cave and hit the small trees nearby. The small trees were broken at the waist, and even the hundred-year-old ancient trees were shattered by the attacks. The trees' trunks were shattered, making it extremely miserable.
Zhou Yi looked at everything in surprise. Before he could react to what happened, the rumbling sound came from behind him again.
The ground dyed red with blood was attacking Zhou Yi's sight and hearing.
It was as if his body had been submerged by fresh blood. All he could see was blood-red. Even he could hear the sound of fresh blood flowing.
Under the fresh blood, the shriveled corpses and the constantly struggling skeletons stepped on each other and cried as they climbed higher.
Zhou Yi watched as a mummy was surrounded by four or five skeletons. Under the strong pulling force, the mummified corpse was instantly torn to pieces by the few skeletons. Then the four or five skeletons threw down the mummies in their hands and started fighting with each other.
Zhou Yi was standing at the highest point of this place. Skeleton corpses that were nowhere to be found were swarming towards him, one after the other.
Other than shrieking nonstop, there seemed to be no other way for them to vent their feelings.
In the end, even the torn arms, thighs, and skulls with two black eyes all struggled out, continuously squeezing higher and higher.
This scene was akin to the purgatory of the human world, causing one to go crazy and want to scream.
Zhou Yi felt his throat become dry. He couldn't say a word, let alone scream.
Pata! A warm drop of water fell on Zhou Yi's face. He reached out his hand and slowly wiped it away. When he raised his hand up to his face, he saw a bright red color.
Then, Zhou Yi raised his head and looked into the sky.
Unknowingly, the headless corpses flew into the air. Their shriveled chests were somehow filled with fresh blood, which constantly dripped down. At the start, there was only one drop, two drops …
Then, the blood droplets started to flow down, and in the blink of an eye, Zhou Yi had turned into a man made of blood.
A trace of blood-red had already climbed into the bloody man's eyes, and there was a hint of insanity hidden within the blood-red color.
Zhou Yi only had one thought in his mind. He wanted to chop these skeletons and dried corpses into pieces, so with a slight movement of his palm, the shadow was already within his grasp.
Just as he raised his shadow, Zhou Yi's actions violently froze. His body then slowly emitted a golden light.
The blood color in his eyes gradually faded under the golden light, and a moment later, it returned to normal.
"This …" Zhou Yi let out a long breath. Only then did he realize that he was still standing at the entrance to the cave and did not leave. However, the shadow above his head was not fake …1
