In the depths of the forest, it was quiet. Separated by a clump of leaves, the Black Dog and the girl who suddenly appeared looked at each other.
For some reason, Atsu looked a little nervous. It widened its eyes and stared unblinkingly at the girl behind the trees.
Especially when it suddenly raised its head and sniffed the air a few times with its nose. Atsu suddenly took a step back, and the hair on its neck slowly stood up. It let out a low growl and showed its sharp fangs to the little girl.
"Hmm, a dog …" The little girl behind the trees also looked at Atsu. She seemed a little surprised and a little curious. After a while, the branches and leaves suddenly shook, and then she walked out from behind the trees.
She was like a fairy that had fallen into the mortal world, elegant and pure. With every step she took, the green branches and leaves seemed to sway gently for her. Her right hand was behind her back, and her left hand was at her side. She gradually showed a trace of a smile, as if she was naive, and walked towards Atsu.
"Roar …" The growl in Atsu's throat suddenly became louder, as if it was full of wariness and hostility towards this beautiful girl.
"Huh?" The girl seemed a little surprised. She stopped walking, but the way she looked at Atsu seemed to be a little more interested. After looking at Atsu with her clear and bright eyes, she pondered for a while, and then seemed to think of something and smiled slightly.
"Come here …" The girl squatted down six or seven feet away from Atsu. She still maintained the strange posture of her right hand behind her back, and then raised her left hand. Her skin was as white as snow, and it looked as delicate and beautiful as a spring onion.
She waved at Atsu and deliberately lowered her voice, as if she was whispering to it. There was a trace of inexplicable strangeness in her voice, and she said, "Little dog, come here."
Ah-Tu stood there motionlessly, his eyes fixed on the strangely beautiful little girl, as if he didn't hear her greeting.
The atmosphere in the forest was silent and a little stiff, but the girl didn't seem to care. She narrowed her eyes slightly, but her gaze seemed to be getting brighter and brighter. She looked at Atsu and smiled. Then, she stretched out her white and tender fingers and said to Atsu, "Little dog, are you feeling very hungry? Do you feel like you can't eat your fill? "
Atsu stared at her and made a muffled sound. He sounded angry and confused at the same time.
The young girl smiled and squatted on the ground. Her voice seemed to gradually carry an indescribable allure. It was almost hard to imagine that this ghostly voice actually came from the mouth of a little girl who was only about ten years old.
"I can help you. Come here, I'll give you something to eat."
"A type of food that you truly desire but have never seen before …"
She smiled, looking as holy and beautiful as a fairy, but her pair of eyes seemed to be flashing a terrible and crazy flame from hell.
Ah-Tu hesitated, as if he couldn't make up his mind. But after a while, he seemed to be unable to resist the mysterious temptation. Finally, he took a step forward and slowly walked up to the little girl.
It no longer bared its teeth, and the hair on its neck also calmed down. Occasionally, its tail would shake, but most of the time, Atsu still looked at the little girl with doubt and a little caution.
A satisfied smile slowly appeared on the girl's face. She stretched out her hand and gently touched Ah-Tu's forehead. Ah-Tu made a subtle movement and then heard the girl's voice become deep and ethereal. She slowly took out her right hand from behind her back.
"Eat, eat. I know what you desire most in your heart is actually this thing …" She whispered to Atsu.
Light shone through the gaps between the dense branches and leaves. Suddenly, there was a sudden silence in the depths of the forest. The wind stopped, and the trees were quiet. It was as if the whole world had stopped.
A smear of dark red suddenly appeared, smearing this part of the world with a shocking trace of blood. Right in front of Atsu's eyes, was her right hand that had just appeared.
Fresh blood dripped down, flowing crazily and wantonly, rolling along that delicate skin.
It was a bloody hand, a bloody hand dripping with blood that would make anyone tremble in fear!
The strong smell of blood instantly surged through the depths of the forest like a tide.
…
"Brother Lu!"
A clear call came from the ridge of the field. Lu Chen looked up and saw Yi Xin standing there and waving at him with a smile.
Lu Chen threw away the tools in his hand, clapped his hands to shake off the soil, and then walked over. He sat down on the edge of the field and said with a smile, "Why are you here?"
Yi Xin smiled and said, "I have nothing to do today, so I came over to have a look."
Lu Chen curled his lips and sighed. "There's such a big gap between people. I, an errand disciple, work myself half to death at the foot of the mountain all day and still don't earn much. You, on the other hand, earn a lot of money every few days. It's just that the divine disc in your stomach has a few more pillars than mine.
Yi Xin was originally squatting beside him. Hearing this, her cheeks turned red. She hit Lu Chen and said, "You're talking nonsense again!"
Lu Chen laughed. Yi Xin looked around and asked, "Hey, where's Atsu? Doesn't it usually follow you here? "
Lu Chen also looked around. Although he didn't see Atsu, he calmly said to Yi Xin, "That stupid dog can't stay still. It likes to run around, and it likes to hide in the forest. It probably ran into some forest again."
"I see." Yi Xin looked a little disappointed, but soon a trace of worry appeared on her face. She said to Lu Chen, "Brother Lu, Atsu just came here not long ago. This place is big, and there are forests and ravines everywhere. Will Atsu get lost?"
Lu Chen waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's okay, you don't have to worry."
Yi Xin looked at Lu Chen helplessly. She didn't know why this Brother Lu was so confident. Anyway, if it was her, she wouldn't be able to do it. But now that they couldn't find Atsu, she had no choice but to suppress the trace of worry in her heart and said to Lu Chen, "Brother Lu, have you thought about what you want me to do?"
Lu Chen looked at the mountains in the distance. Without turning his head, he casually replied, "What is it?"
Yi Xin said, "Didn't you say last time that if you help me come up with an idea, I will promise to do one thing for you?"
"Oh, that thing." Lu Chen seemed to have come to a realization. He turned to look at Yi Xin with a relaxed expression and said with a smile, "Why, are you in a hurry?"
Yi Xin shook her head and said, "Of course I'm not in a hurry. But that thing … you really helped me a lot. I want to repay Brother Lu."
Lu Chen said, "I haven't thought about it yet. Let's talk about it when I think about it."
"Okay then." Yi Xin seemed to feel a little sore in her legs after squatting for a long time. She directly landed on the ridge of the field beside Lu Chen.
Lu Chen looked at her and said, "Aren't you afraid of the soil?"
Yi Xin pursed her lips and said, "I'm not afraid. Back in the Disorienting Lands, I even rolled in the soil and water. Especially those insects … drugs, it's much dirtier than here."
Lu Chen laughed.
Yi Xin glared at him and waited until he stopped laughing. She said to Lu Chen, "But I recently heard that Baicao Tang will be recruiting some people to do 'spiritual power cultivation'. If they do well, they may not only get some opportunities, but they may also be able to leave this spiritual field at the foot of the mountain. I wonder if you're interested? "
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Yi Xin with a trace of surprise. "You actually knew about this in advance?"
Yi Xin looked around. Seeing that there was no one nearby, she smiled slightly proudly and said to Lu Chen in a low voice, "Although our Yi family has been average these years, there are always some brothers and uncles who have joined the Kunlun Party. One of them is in Baicao Tang and has become a follower of Immortal Qian Deng."
"So, are you interested?" Yi Xin giggled as she looked at Lu Chen, and said, "Those who do things like cultivating spiritual energy are either seniors, elders, or young and powerful geniuses in our sect. If they are fated, they will have great fortune in the future."
Lu Chen looked at her for a moment and suddenly laughed. He nodded and said, "Yes, of course I'm interested."
"That promise …" He pointed at Yi Xin and nodded. "Help me with this."
"Okay!" Yi Xin nodded with a smile.
…
Deep in the woods.
The bloody hand flitted across Ah-Tu's eyes slowly. The scarlet and terrifying color of blood was like a sharp knife, causing its pupils to contract uncontrollably.
The extraordinarily beautiful girl was gently stroking the fur of Atsu's back with her delicate, snow-white left hand. Her right hand was dripping with blood, filling the air with a strong pungent smell of blood. This strange scene was concentrated on her, making her look like a holy fairy, but also like a ferocious evil spirit.
"Eat …" Her deep and melodious voice reverberated through the forest. "You have the bloodline of the Heavenly Wolf. You were born to be different. How can ordinary food satisfy your appetite? Only blood, blood that contains spiritual power, is what you desire the most. "
"Come eat …" She slowly put her hand to the mouth of Atsu, with a strange smile on her face. She seemed to be looking forward to it, but also sympathizing with it. Perhaps there was also a little desire. "Come taste this blood. As long as you have tasted it, one day, the blood in your body will awaken."
Atsu's breathing slowly became louder. Its eyes seemed to be struggling in pain. It wanted to leave several times, but every time its eyes fell on the bloody hand again.
After a while, Atsu's head slowly moved closer.
It stuck out its tongue and gently licked the petite but demon-like bloody hand.
The blood dispersed and melted into its mouth.
The light in the woods quietly dimmed. Unknowingly, it was already dusk.
