Dark Blood Age

The reason why Chu Yunsheng felt that the time was pressing, and the giant head would probably decent into his body using force was that he just had a strange ominous feeling, as if there was a shadow watching him somewhere in the dark, and waiting for the opportunity to come out. This kind of feeling was exactly like there was something that did not belong to him inside his body, and this thing could take over the control of his body instantly.

This was something that he has never encountered before. It contained a fatal danger, making Chu Yunsheng very anxious. He needed strong enough force to eliminate it.

Breaking Yuan Tian stage one to reach Yuan Tian stage two wasn’t complicated. It could even be said to be a monotonous process like a boring machine. In the early stage, the body would be quenched by releasing Yuan Qi and absorbing Yuan Qi repeatedly. After accumulating a certain number of energy units, the body cells and each unit would be pushed to the peak of the Chu Yuan Body. This process was probably the simplest and clearest step in the ancient book’s cultivation system.

There were a total of more than 80 cycles that he needed to complete in this process. The floating monsters that would need to be killed would be more than hundreds. Coupled with the materials that were needed for the talismans and equipment, the total number that he needed to kill would be huge.

Floating monsters were not red-shelled insects. Because they could float in the air, they had more space to move around, hence it restricted the types of weapons that could be used against them. At the moment, he could only use fire arrows or frost arrows, but those two were also limited by distance. If the monsters were far away from him, he would not be able to do anything to them.

It was a shame that he no longer had the ancient bow. Otherwise, with the ancient bow, no matter how high and how far they were, as long as he shot out the arrow, the arrow would definitely be able to reach them and kill them.

Anyway, although it was a shame, he shouldn’t stop moving and carry on thinking about what he had in the past. Time would not wait for him, and the giant head would probably descend into his body at any time. After taking out the bow that was enchanted with a fire elemental talisman, Chu Yunsheng didn’t stay on the empty street for long. He looked around and selected the tallest building and went inside it.

The world outside was dark. Without the aid of a flashlight or night vision devices, people could easily walk into a wall. Therefore, Chu Yunsheng was not sure how many floating monsters he would encounter once he got to the roof of the tallest building.

The doors of the residential buildings were all open, and there were signs of breaking in. Apparently, a large-scale looting atrocity occurred when the military area command tried to organize a retreat. In the living room in one of the flats, there was a rotten and smelly corpse hanging from the ceiling, and there were two more on the ground. Based on the sizes of their bodies, they were two adults and one child, probably a family of three that could not escape in time. The living room was very messy, but Chu Yunsheng didn’t know if it was caused by the rioters or the floating monsters.

Chu Yunsheng had killed a lot of people before, so he didn’t feel anything when he saw the bodies. If it was the students, who were still staying at the hotel, they would probably be scared into throwing up instantly.

After a glance, he turned around and walked upstairs. But just as he lifted his feet, he heard a quiet sound coming from the back of the room like something was knocked down, and then with a bang, a shadow came out from a door on the side of the living room and then entered another door on the other side of the living room, Chu Yunsheng was startled, and immediately withdrew the foot that he had just stepped out. The bow in his hand was replaced by a flaming sword. He cautiously moved his feet, trying not to make a sound, and approaching the door, step by step.

He wanted to go to the roof of the building to kill floating monsters, but he didn’t want to leave any danger behind his back. What if there was some strange monster jumping out to attack him when he was dealing with a swarm of floating monsters, it would be very dangerous for him.

The flat was not big, a standard two-bedroom and one living room layout. Two bedrooms faced south, and the kitchen and bathroom faced north, the middle was the living room. Upon entering the door, what he saw first was the rotten table that had already been knocked over to the ground. The TV had also fallen to the ground in front of the sofa. There were bloodstains on it, and the signs of struggles. The refrigerator was open, there was nothing in it. It was tilting against the wall, and the solid wood floor below was littered with various bits and pieces of things.

As soon as Chu Yunsheng entered the door, he took a deep breath and suddenly started running, dashing out at a lightning speed, leaving only the residual images in the living room. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived before the kitchen. He quickly lifted the filming sword in his hand and lit up the not so big kitchen.

But Chu Yunsheng was stunned for a second. It was not a kitten or puppy he had estimated, nor a dangerous insect or a floating monster. It turned out to be a naked girl, curling up in the corner of the cabinet, looking at him in horror.

“Who are you?” Chu Yunsheng took off the night vision device and asked a question casually, trying to calm her down. He simply thought that she was probably one of the citizens that couldn’t escape in time.

But as soon as he took off the night vision device, and when he was once again able to see colors with his naked eyes, he was shocked.

Under the flame jumping on the flaming sword, the body of the young girl was as white as milk. It was crystal clear, exuding a layer of blue light, full of mystery, holiness, and beauty, not like an ordinary person.

Her hair was very long and beautiful, reaching all the way to her waist, and most importantly, it was as blue as the sky.

She tried her best to hide in the cabinet, and her body was shaking constantly under her blue hair as she looked at Chu Yunsheng with her beautiful eyes. Although those eyes were as pretty as rubies, they were filled with panic and fear.

Judging from her appearance, she looked around fifteen to sixteen years old. In addition, there was a light floral fragrance exuding from her body, which surprisingly, was not eroded by the pungent corpse smell in the living room.

Maybe some people would feel sympathy or have some kind of desire, but Chu Yunsheng would not have any one of those. He knew that the danger in the dark was always accompanied by carelessness and oversight. A human with blue hair and red pupils would never exist in Nanjing. Even in Europe, it was also not possible. There was no chemical smell on the girl’s body, it meant that it was the natural color, but the natural blue color would never appear on a normal human.

“Who are you!?” Chu Yunsheng’s voice became serious and there was even an intense malice in his tone. It was the same sentence, but it contained two different meanings.

The girl shuddered violently all of sudden. Obviously, she was scared by Chu Yunsheng’s look and tone, and the fear in her eyes gradually became despair. When Chu Yunsheng still couldn’t figure out what she was, she closed her eyes and then crawled on the cold tile floor, seemingly performing an ancient ritual using a language that Chu Yunsheng didn’t understand.

Then Chu Yunsheng was surprised to find that when the girl opened her eyes again, it no longer had the signs of fear and panic in them. Instead, her eyes now became very pious, as if she suddenly gained a firm belief, and perhaps there was a trace of confession about the panic she had just now. She knelt calmly and extremely religiously in front of Chu Yunsheng as if she was waiting for something.

Chu Yunsheng didn’t know what just happened to her. However, in case she was also an invader of his inner world like the giant head, he decided to kill her right here, preventing all the accidents from happening.

The blade was lifted up and hacked down at an instant. And at such a short distance, even a red-shield insect would not be able to block it, let alone a 15 or 16 years old girl.

But the sharp and burning blade stopped suddenly at a distance less than one finger in front of the girl’s skin. The hot wave caused the girl’s sky blue hair to curl up slightly, and the flame cast a layer of red colour on her delicate and natural face, but she was still not moving.

The girl’s calm and pious look caused Chu Yunsheng to change his mind. The invaders would not be so easy to accept their death. Based on what the giant head said, they were all extremely arrogant creatures. Even after losing its body, the giant head still wanted to survive, and it still acted very arrogantly in front of Chu Yunsheng.

That was a kind of innate feeling of being superior over other lives, and with that kind of feeling in them, they would not be able to pretend to be scared in front of Chu Yunsheng, let alone kneeling before him.

He decided not to kill her, and keep her for now. He wanted to figure out where she came from. Since he had already decided to fight the giant head, he would not be able to get any useful information from it. But from this girl, he might be able to get something.

“This is clothes, you put it on first, and then follow me.” Chu Yunsheng found some clothes from the storage talisman and then threw them before the girl. Thinking that she probably would not be able to understand him, he tried to use hand gestures to explain to her.

But he didn’t notice that when he “took out” a pile of clothes out of the thin air, the girl’s eyes became even more pious.

She kept skillfully performing the strange but very solemn ritual that seemed to have been rehearsed many times in the past, prostrating herself on the ground and repeating the same two syllables in her mouth all the time, “Gai Yi, Gai Yi…”

After failing to make the girl understand what he wanted, Chu Yunsheng frowned, “is your name Gai Yi?”

But he didn’t expect that as soon as he said those two words, she started to repeat those two words much faster, and her body even started to shake in excitement. After a moment, she finally straightened up her back, but still knelt on the ground, holding her hands between her pointed chin and her soft lips, and praying silently, with closed eyes and passionate tears.

Chu Yunsheng was worried about disturbing the floating monsters outside. He forcibly pulled her up from the tile floor, took off his clothes and then put them on again to show her, “I don’t know if you understand it or not, but put them on now!”

There were indeed floating monsters floating toward them. From the time he left the train station until he came back again, it took him about a day. The fight between the floating monsters still hasn’t finished yet, but some floating monsters, which had successfully evolved, have started to clear the area. Although their first target at the moment was other floating monsters, they would not miss the chance to “eat” humans if they discovered them.

Compared to ordinary floating monsters, these floating monsters were even more difficult to deal with. Chu Yunsheng was only at Yuan Tian stage one strength, he dared not to be careless.

The ritual was suddenly interrupted by Chu Yunsheng, but the girl seemed to understand the meaning of Chu Yunsheng now. She quickly put on her clothes obediently, and covered her attractive body, then looked at Chu Yunsheng respectfully and piously, as if she was his servant.

“Follow me to the train station!”

Chu Yunsheng knew that she could not understand him, but it was better to talk to her than stay silent. The best way to learn a language was not to copy textbooks or do translation questions. After listening to a different language a lot, people would gradually understand it.

Whether it was hunting floating monsters, insects, or other types of monsters, Chu Yunsheng was accustomed to do it alone. With an encumbrance, attack, pursuit, and retreat would be affected greatly, so leaving her with Feng Yingxi was the best solution at the moment.

However, he didn’t expect that as soon as they stepped out of the building, a giant floating monster floated past by them from low altitude. Originally it didn’t notice the noise below it, and with Chu Yunsheng’s ability, it would also be very difficult for it to discover them. But he didn’t expect that the blue-haired girl suddenly ran out bravely and stood before Chu Yunsheng. And as if she was trying to warn Chu Yunsheng, she pointed at the floating monster and repeatedly said, “Wu Yi Di, Wu Yi Di…” Her voice was very pleasant to hear, like a song.

However, Chu Yunsheng didn’t need her to remind him at all. But just when he was about to fight, he was surprised to find that the blue-haired girl took out a piece of thin paper and put in between her lips…

‘Is she trying to defeat the floating monster with a piece of paper?’ seeing her serious expression as if she was going to fight the floating monster, Chu Yunsheng couldn’t help but have this ridiculous idea in his mind.
