Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty Dragons at the Fork in the Road
Many chances are inevitable results, but many chances are indeed accidental. On the fork in life, one will accidentally take a completely opposite path, such as the two supporting roles that flash in the original trajectory - a supporting role with a little weight.
In the "Star Dou Great Forest", a group of nine people were traveling through the forest quickly, constantly moving forward, and passing through the woods.
A few dozen meters ahead of this group, a snake-shaped soul beast about three feet long was fleeing rapidly.
Because the snake-shaped soul beast in front is familiar with the current terrain, even though the first two of the nine people are faster, they can never catch up with the prey that is slippery and flexibly shuttles between trees, rocks, water flow, sags and other obstacles.
"Old man!"
Among the nine people in two fronts and seven backs, a white-haired old woman located in the rear shouted to the two in front of them, and the old man who was even more in front: "You catch up with that beast first, we will catch up with it later!"
“Okay~~~”
Immediately, after a brief response, the thin old man at the front put the crutch in his hand in his running a little on the ground, and in the blink of an eye it appeared dozens of meters away.
......
Top of the cliff.
Looking at the layers of white mist below blocking the line of sight, Brando had the urge to try and jump down to find out.
Fortunately, under the debate between two different voices in my heart, the idea of safety prevailed. Finally, I chose the safest way in my previous dreams: to wait and see what changes are.
I don’t know how long it took, Brando looked up at the sky. It was the time when the sun was at its peak. He looked down at the direction below the cliff and said in his heart: “It should be now~”
Sudden!
"roar!!!"
A low roar came from the bottom of the cliff and spread in all directions, and it lasted for a long time.
At the same time, Brando felt that the light around him was dimming, and the sky above his head was clear cloudless and sunny. However, the top of the cliff, which had no cover around him, became dim in an instant.
"Sure!" Brando's eyes were three points of shock, three points of panic, and four points of relief. He looked straight at the thick white mist under the cliff.
About seven or eight miles away, there were forests dozens of feet high everywhere. Just as I raised my crutch in my hand and was about to attack the snake-shaped soul beast that was close to me, I heard the roar and subconsciously paused, and looked up with a serious expression in my face to look in the direction where the sound came.
Not far away in front of him, he was chased to the ground, but he knew that he could not escape. His tail was tied together and his upper body was upright in attack, and his head was even more unbearable. He directly pressed his head against the ground, and his scales all over his body were blown up and then pulled down deafly, looking like he was left to slaughter.
"Old man~" "Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish..."
Just when the thin elder held the crutch more than four meters in length and posed an attacking posture directly in front of him, but looked up with a serious expression and looked in the other direction.
A shout came from the forest behind it, and at the same time, a group of eight young and old jumped out and came to the old man.
......
cliff.
"Domain! Is this the power of the domain?"
Brando's lips trembled with fear from the heart, and his eyes were empty. He watched the light suddenly dim around him, recalling the information he had been wandering around Douluo Continent over the years, either by hearsay, or by the former "teacher" and the disciple of the evil soul master, and by the information he had contacted, he found a similar description that matched the scene in front of him.
While personally experiencing the scene in the "Dream", Brando tried his best to resist the pressure in the air and the evil aura that was vague but always touched the evil thoughts, desires, murderous intent and other negative emotions in his heart. While staring widened his eyes and looking at the front of the top of the cliff he was standing at this moment.
The next moment, Brando saw that a huge soul beast emerged from the thick white mist.
When he stood up completely, he was almost as high as the cliff at Blanto's feet!
You should know that after Brando visually just conducted a visual inspection, there was a drop of more than 20 meters from the top of the cliff to the white fog below!
"Huh~~~~~"
A fierce whirlwind blew, and the white mist under the cliff was blown away, and the true body of the soul beast was completely revealed, which was no less than forty or fifty meters! Its head and tail length was eighty or ninety meters!
"This...this...this is this, dark...dark demon...evil god tiger?!"
Brando, who was sitting on the ground, looked at the giant tiger that was pure black and without a trace of color. Under the gray-black aura that was surrounded by all body, the tail of the scorpion tail that stood upwards, shining with a dark light, and the black wings on both sides of the back. Compared with the message of "Dream", it was a bit difficult to suppress itself.
On the other side, a group of nine people who had gathered together were also staring at the black tiger head in the distance that was taller than the surrounding giant tree.
The dark character Wang at the tiger's eyebrows not only did not be inconspicuous because it was close to the surrounding black, but instead burned everyone's eyes like flames, making people feel tingling and unable to look directly at the character Wang.
"Ten...100,000 years...?!"
One young man in white clothes stammered out of the nine people.
"I don't know!" The thin elder holding the crutch frowned and said, "But we must be careful, try our best to put away the soul power fluctuations and retreat quickly..."
"look!"
Another short and sturdy man in brown clothes suddenly pointed to the tiger's head and shouted, "What's wrong?"
When everyone heard this, they had just moved down a few points and were about to find their way out, looking at it.
"ah!"
"This is......"
"How could it be?!"...
But it turned out that under the gaze of everyone, the black tiger head with a strong sense of oppression was slowly fading, like a phantom bubble, gradually dissipating in the sun.
cliff.
Time passed by minute by minute, and as the black giant tiger that was so close to him slowly dissipated, the ubiquitous pressure began to fade.
Sitting on the ground, feeling that Brando was as good as a year. Before he could wipe the cold sweat that penetrated his eyes, he saw two figures, one black and one blue, jumping up from the bottom of the cliff.
The black giant tiger in front of him, which was as high as the cliff, turned into a gray-black stream of light with colorful light, and penetrated into the body of the young man in black at the front.
"Master...Master..."
Brando looked at the familiar and unfamiliar face, his heart was overturned, his mouth was stuttering, but he murmured silently.
“Huh?”
After standing still, the young man in black kept twisting his body back to observe the blue figure flying from behind him landed safely. After turning around, he saw Brando sitting on the ground, raised his sword eyebrows and said in surprise: "Interestingly, this inner circumference of the "Star Dou Great Forest" which is rarely visited on weekdays, I actually encountered another one. It is hundreds of miles away from the core area..."
Although, compared with "once", the address of the meeting changed and time had some differences, the almost the same words were heard "again" in my ears. At this moment, Brando's heart was left with endless ecstasy apart from a hint of undetectable regret and regret.
‘Really...really!’ Brando shouted in his heart.
"Hey!" The young man in black didn't care about the rich inner scenes. The face of the black man was joyful, and seemed to be in a very happy mood and said to Brando: "What's your name? Are you going to hunt the soul ring here?"
"..." Hearing this, Brando's heart gradually began to calm down, but he still nodded in a daze.
"Okay!" The young man in black turned his head indifferently, his open clothes fluttering in the breeze, and said in a market shopping tone: "It will take tens of thousands of years? I can help you~ because..."
"I'm happy."
Listening to these extremely plain words, Brando, who was ‘familiar’ with the other party, knew that this was his Lord who was at will and despised everything.
This is the "Demon Lord". A person acts as he pleases. You don't know when he will treat you well, nor when he will slap you to death, just look at his mood.
When he is happy, he will joke with you and do some help for you that seems to be a mere help; when he is bored - right, bored, not angry - he may turn his fingers to find various reasons, tell you one by one, and then, when you think he is joking, he slapped you to death.
‘Once upon a time’, a master of medicine who could use the brain of a full moon baby to refine the spirit of ‘soul-replenishing liquid’, was drawn out by his master on the grounds that “drinking with him, drinking one step earlier than him every time” and let the soul burn in the dark flame for a hundred days before dissipating.
"Once upon a time," I was led away by the other party by chance by the Lord who had just obtained a unique opportunity and easily hunted a soul beast that had been around for nearly 50,000 years, and was promoted to the Soul Saint.
'once'......
"Wait!" A thought flashed through Brando's heart: "If...that extraordinary opportunity...was me..."
Brando, whose mind began to diverge, remained unchanged. Under the pressure of the unconscious fearful aura of the Lord, he maintained his previous shock and hesitation, and said: "My name is Brando, seventh... seventh level quasi-soul saint, come to the "Star Dou Great Forest"... to find the right soul beast..."
"Okay~" the young man in black nodded, his handsome face with a little smile: "Then next, you will follow me and meet a suitable soul beast. I will talk to it for you and use it with its soul ring~~~~~~~ By the way~"
Speaking of this, the young man in black seemed to remember something, and his lips curled up in a curve and said:
"My name is Chu Xiu, everything will be settled!"
"Did you hear it clearly?" he said, raising his voice a little.
"Listen...I heard it clearly~" Brando responded in surprise.
‘This, this sentence is not available?!’
‘Is it because I came over early and the change?’
Brando glanced at the boy in blue who stood there without saying a word since he reached the top of the cliff.
‘Master...Lin Yi? The person who only appears in the memories of the Lord is still here now...Is it because of him?’
‘Damn it! Why are the information about the future intermittently and many places missing? Is it because I am not strong enough?’
Unexpectedly, the young man who claimed to be Chu Xiu shook his head and said to Brando on the ground: "It's not you."
