Chapter 280 Deep into the Enemy Camp
Since the Yuhe Fairy separated from Xia Qiu in the realm of soul separation, she has been worried about her. Almost at the same time every day, he would come near the dock to wait for Xia Qiu, and then enter the dense forest to secretly observe the movements of the white bats.
A few days ago, the white bat broke into the tree house where he had taken Xia Qiu. Their target was undoubtedly Xia Qiu, and the result was naturally disappointed. They are so persistent to catch a human girl, which not only attracts more attention than before, but also makes him afraid. He has a stronger and stronger foreboding that the answer to everything may be related to his past.
Why does he have such an idea? The tree house he built at the junction of the dense forest and the valley is very hidden. Unless he is familiar with his habits and way of thinking, it is not easy to find this place in such a short time. All kinds of signs made him more and more sure that the mysterious figure hiding behind the scenes controlling the white bat was the black crane that made himself fall from the divine realm, which was exactly the last thing he wanted to accept.
With the help of Xia Qiu and her friends, although he found part of his memory, there are still many cracks in his memory that can't be connected. Especially about black cranes, it is not so much that those memories have become blurred or fragmented as they seem to indulge in the darkness. As long as they try to find them, the darkness seems to devour him.
He suddenly became timid and even had the idea of not caring about these things, but then he would fall into a deep self-reproach. He did not know that it was the darkness that caused such a negative idea. The poison from the black crane in his body was also mixed with a part of the darkness of the black crane, which was secretly hidden in his soul.
Now, although the poison is solved by the dragon's blood, it still needs a struggle with the self to completely pull out this dark seed from your heart. When he was chatting with the elders of Anhui, he learned the news that the villagers were captured by the white bat, and also learned how to get to the white bat's base camp. In order to understand the happy questions, he was determined to go alone.
The night of the soul is full of danger, and many soul predators will appear at this time. The most ferocious of them is a kind of raptor similar to an owl. This kind of raptor is called Yi. They have dark gray feathers and a three-meter-long wingspan. Their powerful claws can easily catch the soul. The Feather Crane Immortals tried their best to bypass the areas where they most often appear, but they still met one of them unexpectedly.
When he finds the big bird, he has entered its hunting range. At this time, if he forcibly and quickly escapes in the opposite direction, it will definitely chase him, and may even gather his companions to start a hunting game. So he had to gamble to see what would happen if he chose not to escape, but just passed by it.
He adjusted his breathing and flew steadily by the monster at the same speed as before. Unexpectedly, nothing happened. He was surprised by his luck. After flying forward for a while, the boundary mentioned by Wan appeared in front of him, and the base camp of the white bat was under the boundary. This boundary is mainly used to block raptors, which does not work for the Feather Crane Fairy, and what makes him uncomfortable is that this base camp belonging to monsters is like opening the door to welcome his arrival.
The base camp is composed of countless tree houses built on trees, which are connected by suspension bridges to form a huge group of tree houses. In the impression of the feather crane fairy, monsters like white bats should live in wet and dark caves or tree holes. They are really not very suitable for these beautiful tree houses. At several high points in the tree house, observation platforms are built to observe the surrounding situation, and white bats are standing guard on each of them.
The Feather Crane Fairy knew that if they continued to fly, it would be difficult to avoid their eyes and ears, so they gave up moving at high altitude and turned to walking on the ground. Because of the cover of tree houses and branches and leaves on the ground, it is much more hidden.
Walking in the layers of tree shadows, the Feather Crane Fairy has a sense of tension in his heart, but somehow there is also a trace of excitement. Maybe it is because he is about to reveal the answer about his past. He really wanted to face the black crane that made him fall into the demon world. There are still some memories of their childhood as partners in his memory. As for how they rebelled against their purpose, he can't remember at all.
He and the black crane were brought into the divine realm by the god Qiansu at a very close time, so they naturally became close. The black crane is just the opposite of his personality. He likes thrills and always wants to do his best to become the focus of attention; while the feather crane, once a white crane spirit beast, likes to hide in the lotus leaves in a low profile, away from other cranes, and swim quietly and slowly in the pond.
After the god Qiansu brought them into the divine realm, they did not come to the lotus pond for a long time. The black crane gradually lost the desire for self-expression and even became lazy. Sometimes he simply stayed in a corner on the shore and didn't see him appear all day.
But the white crane is still the same as in the past, still silently shuttles between the lotus flowers, allowing the green lotus leaves and pool water, as well as the tender pink lotus flower lining its white feathers, printing a shadow similar to its own, but very vague shadow on the lake.
Even if many memories are no longer coherent, it is strange that he still remembers the situation when he and Tianshen Qiansu met again in the lotus pond that day. On that day, Tianshen Qiansu wore the longest white cotton and linen clothes he wore in the divine realm, and his long hair casually tied a bunch of golden belts and put them on his chest. He cast his deep eyes on the lake, but it didn't seem to be looking at anything until he met the white crane's eyes. Bai He caught a trace of melancholy in his eyes, which was an emotion that should not belong to the Lord of the Divine Realm, so he decided to dance for him.
He gently flapped his wings and flew a little, and then danced on the lake. Stepping on the green lake, it constantly rotates and jumps lightly. For him, it is an innate dance step, but the god can see God and is deeply attracted by his dance. Later, from time to time, he would come to the lotus pond to see him dance, and would share with him some interesting things that happened in the three worlds.
But at the same time, the black crane was getting farther and farther away from the white crane, and he almost disappeared from his sight. Bai He didn't know whether he was deliberately avoiding himself or making new playmates. Later, one night, when the white crane inadvertently swam to the side of the pond, it found the figure of the black crane, but the person beside him looked very strange.
The man is very tall, but he has sculpture-like facial features. The most impressive thing is his cold face. Judging from his exquisite accessories and luxurious clothes, he should have a considerable position in the divine realm. The black crane always meets that person at night, but that person always looks at him with a constant expression, making people unable to guess what he is thinking.
The Feather Crane Fairy unconsciously fell into the memory and ignored the movement around him. Countless dark shadows suddenly flew over his head. Just as he was about to look up, several white bats had landed beside him. They quickly dispersed and surrounded him.
He knew that these monsters would not have time to inform their companions, at least he had not heard them hear the stinging sound similar to ultrasound. If he wants to be completely exposed immediately, he must try his best to kill the enemy in front of him, which is not easy for him who doesn't fight often.
The long dagger had been transformed in his sleeve. He took a deep breath, clenched the dagger and rushed out. The body attacked in a curve, and the movements were completed in one go. It did not give himself or his opponent any reaction time, and in the blink of an eye, he solved the few white bats surrounding him. From the last time he fought with these monsters to save Xia Qiu, he felt that there was a certain difference between the battle in the realm of soul and reality. He relied more on spiritual power, which was exactly what he was good at.
He locked his target on the largest one in the center of all tree houses, which looked most like the place where the manipulators of this group of white bats might stay. But before he reached the tree house, he heard a deep and painful moan, so he decided to find out first.
A cage hanging on the tree entered the sight of the Feather Crane Fairy. Lying in the cage was a big-headed ghost who had been tortured. The groan was made by him. As for why it was so low, it was because his mouth was stuffed by a ball of rags.
"Hey..." The feather crane fairy whispered.
The big-headed ghost squinted one eye and looked at it. Suddenly, there was a light in his eyes, but his mouth was still speechless because of the cloth, and he could only make a humping sound.
"Wait!" The Feather Crane Fairy found the place where the cage was locked, concentrated his spiritual power to cut off the lock with a long dagger, got into the cage and dragged the big-headed ghost out, and carried his body to the ground. He pulled out the rag in the mouth of the big-headed ghost and asked in a low voice, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
"My name is Dafu. I was supposed to board the soul boat to go to the infinite heaven, but I was caught by these monsters. They threatened my brother to help them provide information with me. Later, my brother seemed to be exposed, and they began to torture me. If you hadn't appeared, I might have been executed tomorrow. The voice of the big-headed ghost still sounds very weak.
"Have you ever seen the people who manipulate these white bats?" The feather crane fairy continued to ask.
"I didn't see his face clearly. I just thought he was a terrible person!"
When the big-headed ghost talked about this person, his whole face showed a frightened look.
"You just said that your brother... Where is he now?"
"He should have reached the infinite heaven. They just asked him to get information from a man named Ouyang Xueye."
"Oh no!" The Feather Crane Fairy has an ominous hunch. It is said by this big-headed ghost. It seems that the power of the man who controls the white bat has extended to the infinite heaven, so Xia Qiu is also likely to be in danger there. "You wait here for a while. I need to figure out something!"
"Please don't leave me here alone..." The big-headed ghost shook his head and pleaded. Obviously, the monsters seriously stimulated his spirit.
"I will definitely come back. You hide in the bushes and don't make a sound."
The Feather Crane Fairy made up his mind. After helping the big-headed ghost hide, he turned around and flew to the tree house in the center.
