Within a dozen breaths, Jiang Zhiwei, Luo Shengyi, Qi Zhengyan, and Ruan Yushu couldn't recover enough to fight. Only Mengqi's flames were getting dimmer. Therefore, the monster flew toward Zhang Yuanshan while guarding against him.
"The opportunity is the chance to enter the Holy Mountain." Zhang Yuanshan made up a story based on his background knowledge.
It seemed that the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms didn't just tell him the background.
"Well, it's not like we can't cooperate." The monster gently nodded.
Zhang Yuanshan was still hesitating. Should he take the risk, or should he trust the monster and give up resistance?
Seeing that the monster's attitude was okay, he was inclined to cooperate.
"But you must die!"
Suddenly, the monster roared and stabbed out with the spear in his right hand. The flames were rolling, and the heat was terrible.
The pain in his left arm was constantly reminding him of revenge!
For an ordinary monster, what was the big picture? Was it edible?
Zhang Yuanshan didn't expect the monster to turn hostile so quickly. The spear was already in front of him.
At this time, a figure flashed out and pushed Zhang Yuanshan away. The flame spear stabbed him, and the fire burned him from the inside out.
"Zhenzhen!" Zhang Yuanshan's mind was blank. Only Fu Zhenzhen's eyes were looking back at him. They seemed to be happy, sad, and firm.
"You are calm and capable, and have the demeanor of a leader. This is excellent. But you think too much and worry too much. When you need to take the risk, you lack the courage …" The Ancestor's words echoed in his mind. They were still clear after so many years.
The scene where Qi Xia stood up and tried to reveal the secret of the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms when he was hesitating also appeared in front of him.
"Yes, I don't have the courage to take the risk."
"But today, I will kill this me!"
Fu Zhenzhen's eyes were clear and affectionate. Zhang Yuanshan's heart was filled with endless courage. Love turned into flames and stimulated the sword spirit.
The blood light rose, and Zhang Yuanshan's Blood Essence and Vital Spirit seemed to be burning fiercely.
The sword light was dim, and the flying bird monster was cut out from between heaven and earth. Blood marks appeared on its body and quickly cut its flesh and bones.
Bang, bang, bang. Several pieces of the flying bird monster fell to the ground, and its eyes bulged with shock.
The mountain wind blew, and there were no more monsters nearby.
"Senior Brother Zhang!" Qi Zhengyan struggled to stand up and shouted in grief.
After that, Zhang Yuanshan lost his breath and his face turned pale. He staggered to Fu Zhenzhen and sat down cross-legged. Then he helped Fu Zhenzhen up and put his right arm around her, letting her lean against his chest.
Fu Zhenzhen's heart was pierced by the spear of Half-step Exterior Scenery. Only her eyes were open, gentle as always.
Zhang Yuanshan raised his trembling left hand and touched Fu Zhenzhen's face affectionately.
The flames on Mengqi's body were extinguished, but the effect of the Sacrifice Formula had faded. He struggled to stand up, swallowed a Recover Pill, and stumbled to Zhang Yuanshan's side.
"Senior Brother Zhang …" He didn't know what to say. Since they knew each other, Zhang Yuanshan was like an elder brother to them. He was steady and reliable, and took care of everyone.
Zhang Yuanshan smiled and said, "Now that it has come to this, there is no need to say more. If not for the last sword, I would never forgive myself. But in the end, I won."
This was the last radiance of the setting sun.
After a pause, Zhang Yuanshan took out his Recover Pill and Fu Zhenzhen's healing elixir and handed them to Mengqi. "I don't need them anymore."
"Senior Brother Zhang …" Mengqi's eyes were blurred, and his throat was choked. He wanted to say many things, but he couldn't.
Zhang Yuanshan slowly closed his eyes and said weakly,
"Live on our behalf until we get out of the Samsara."
"Senior Brother Zhang, if there is a chance, I will resurrect you!" Mengqi blurted out.
Jiang Zhiwei also leaned over and promised in a low voice, "If there is a chance, I will resurrect you."
"No need. If you really want to, you can get out of the Samsara and become the top big powers. Resurrect us with your own strength." Zhang Yuanshan didn't want to burden Mengqi and others.
"What a pity …" He still had something he couldn't give up, but he didn't say it.
Mengqi's vision was blurred, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind. He said solemnly, "Senior Brother Zhang, if your two families are in trouble, I will go through fire and water for you!"
A man's promise was worth a thousand gold!
Zhang Yuanshan smiled and closed his eyes completely. He was still sitting cross-legged and holding Fu Zhenzhen tightly.
Mengqi took a deep breath and suppressed the sorrow in his heart. "Take care of the bodies and let's leave quickly."
He didn't know if there would be any monsters chasing after them.
Jiang Zhiwei found a bag of poison from Fu Zhenzhen and sprinkled it on the two of them. She said in a low voice with sorrow, "I can't let your bodies be desecrated by monsters … May your flesh and blood be intertwined …"
With a sizzling sound, Zhang Yuanshan and Fu Zhenzhen's bodies quickly turned into pus and blood and merged together. Only the Winged-python Sword and the Winged-python Sword were left.
Although they lacked Karma points, Mengqi and Jiang Zhiwei had a bottom line. They would never take the swords. They dug a hole and buried the pus and blood together with the two swords.
As for the Recover Pill and Fu Zhenzhen's healing elixir, they gave them to Ruan Yushu. Because the others were going to fight, they accidentally broke the porcelain bottle.
The two parts of the monster's spear were also put into the Space Ring.
After that, they supported each other and ran far away. After a while, the sky was warm and orange, and the earth welcomed the dawn.
The light of dawn shone in front of them. The fatigue from the previous battle and the sorrow from the death of their companions seemed to be comforted.
As the light grew brighter, Mengqi's eyes widened and he could not stop despair from gushing out.
They were on a hill and in the distance was a dilapidated temple. It was so familiar, exactly the same as the place they had left six days ago.
It was bathed in the sunlight and burned with a solemn and bright golden light. It was magnificent and clean.
"Back again?
Is it the prohibition set by the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms, or a natural change after the Lucky Chance? "
"No wonder no matter which direction Ge Huai 'en divined, it was always bad luck. Because it made no difference, they would always come back here …" Mengqi suddenly understood the true meaning of Ge Huai' en's first divination.
"Then why is it always to the west?"
"At this time, the monsters have left the temple to chase us. Returning to the temple is the best plan. Maybe we can get through the last day smoothly." Under the effect of the Recover Pill, Luo Shengyi's injuries had basically healed and he had regained his combat ability. Jiang Zhiwei, Mengqi, and the others were also recovering.
Mengqi suppressed his despair and gently nodded. "Well, the most dangerous place is the safest place."
He just kept his confidence because it could only depend on luck. Maybe there was a monster guarding the temple? Maybe the real Monster King was riding on the clouds and rushing here?
At this point, it was impossible for them to turn back and meet the monster army. They had to force their way forward. They did not have to go to the temple. They could find a hiding place nearby to hide and survive the last day.
After walking for a while, Luo Shengyi found a hidden crypt and asked Mengqi and the others to hide in it.
The crypt was full of rugged rocks, like monsters in the dark. There was a faint tinkling sound of an underground river.
"I hope the monsters can't find this place …" Luo Shengyi sighed. His first Death Task was on the last day. He was ignored by the enemies because he was too weak. He found a hidden cave to hide in. Now he could not help but hope he could get lucky.
Mengqi, Jiang Zhiwei, Qi Zhengyan, and Ruan Yushu did not have the habit of praying to God. They checked the crypt to see where it led and whether they could use it to deal with the monsters. They could fly outside, but in here, they would be the same as them!
Of course, the premise was that King Biwa and Penbo Erba did not come. Otherwise, his strength of the Exterior was enough to kill them without weapons.
Suddenly, Mengqi saw a black shadow flash by. It was not fast.
"Who is it?" Mengqi used the Hallucination Body Movements and rushed over. But he caught a skinny old man. It was a human old man.
"Monsters? You are not monsters?" The old man was withered and looked like a candle in the wind. He was shocked at first, but soon calmed down.
Jiang Zhiwei and the others surrounded him. Mengqi said in a low voice, "Sir, we are humans. We were chased by monsters and hid here. What about you?"
The old man smiled bitterly. "Of course I am a human. Because the food in the tribe is limited and I am old, I came out to wait for death to give the young people the hope of survival."
There were many similar records from the era when demons were wreaking havoc on the world. Every tribe of humans, as long as they were old, would leave their safe places and wait for their deaths. They would not waste food. It was because of their sacrifice that humans were able to pass on the torch and slowly become the rulers of the universe.
"Where is your tribe?" Meng Qi asked casually as he tossed the dry food and water to the old man.
The old man looked at him warily. "What are you going to do? The hiding place of the tribe is far away from here. "
"Sir, don't worry. We will not disturb you." Mengqi heaved a sigh of relief. He understood the old man's wariness.
The old man sighed. "You are kind people, but I can't tell you. There are too many monsters and they keep many people in captivity. Some of them are loyal to them. Alas, the ancient times were better. There were immortals, celestial soldiers, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Although the monsters also ate people, they were not as rampant as today. We built many countries and did not have to worry about food and water …"
He showed a yearning look. This was a beautiful description passed down from generation to generation.
"Ancient times? Which country was this in ancient times? "Mengqi's heart skipped a beat.
Only by saying the name of the ancient times could he know where this place was. Maybe he could find a way out.
The old man frowned and thought for a while. "Ancient times? Well, it is said that this is the boundary of Spirited Mountain. "
"The boundary of Spirited Mountain?" Mengqi blurted out. He was shocked.
This was the boundary of Spirited Mountain? But where could he find Spirited Mountain?
The old man nodded slightly. He did not understand why the young man was so surprised.
"This is the boundary of Spirited Mountain …"
"The horizontal board of the Big Leiyin Temple …"
"The direction of Ge Huai 'en's divination was to the west …"
"Yuan Meng's letter, where can we find Spirited Mountain?"
"Little Jade Buddha … It seems to be some kind of symbol, road sign or key …"
Countless thoughts jumped out of Mengqi's mind, and a light condensed in it.
"The 'west' in Ge Huai 'en's divination is actually the' west 'in a symbolic sense. It is the west of the Journey to the West. The destination of the Journey to the West is Spirited Mountain, and the symbol of Spirited Mountain is the Big Leiyin Temple … The result of Ge Huai' en's divination is that the 'direction' is the horizontal board of the Big Leiyin Temple!"
"The Little Jade Buddha is the key to open it!"
After going round and round, he was back to square one.
