My apprentice is a little weird?

Chapter 186: Immortality...

“Kneel before me and beg for eternal life, for immortality is vain.

Only by sacrificing one's life can one gain strength in return.

Whatever you ask for can be obtained, and immortality is not in vain."

Tie Niu was stunned for a moment while listening to the young master's poem.

"What does this mean? The immortality you begged for by kneeling before me is illusory, and only by making sacrifices can you gain true power? Whatever you ask for can be granted... Does it mean that you can have whatever you want? Immortality is not empty... Immortality..."

Shen Ming tilted his head slightly and looked at the breathless young man, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"I saw four sentences, but it's only three."

She smiled and looked away from the young man towards the sky.

"It's getting dark, let's go back quickly~"

Just when Tie Niu was lost in thought, Shen Ming's clear voice was like a pool of clear water pouring over his head, waking him up and giving him a startle!

"Yes! It's getting dark! Let's go!"

He just realized at this moment that the sun had set without him noticing when.

how so fast !

There was no time to think about this question, his only thought now was to return to Wu Village!

The scenes that man experienced last night are still in front of my eyes, and today I also saw his body here.

It is obvious what kind of unspeakable dangers we will encounter on this strange night!

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace, and so did the young master. There was no idiot present.

But what surprised him was that Shen Ming, a tiny person, could actually keep up with their pace and not fall behind!

This shocked Tie Niu and made him more wary of her.

"As expected, none of those who survived are ordinary!"

'What the hell is this place? Who locked us up?'

While cursing in his heart, he turned his head and looked behind him for some unknown reason.

Just this quick glimpse made his pupils shrink suddenly!

He was horrified to see that the originally quiet and dark forest behind him was now completely shrouded in endless darkness, without any trace of light!

At this moment, the corpse was moved by some mysterious force and was facing him in a strange posture!

There was no trace of flesh on the open chest. Instead, it was densely packed with intertwined dark brown tree roots, like an airtight net, which was both disgusting and terrifying.

And in the center, a fiery red fruit stood proudly.

It stretches its branches and leaves slowly, and a fascinating fragrance permeates the air. In this dark place without any light, it fully displays its alluring charm, as if calling for something.

It is completely different from the dirty and ugly tree roots around it~

The corpse just looked at Tie Niu quietly, its empty eyes staring straight at him.

There was a strange smile on that skinny face.

This scene was deeply imprinted in Tieniu's heart, and it could not be erased for a long time...

On Tieniu's right leg, a drop of sticky blood-red liquid seeped through the trouser leg and slowly penetrated in.

...............

As night fell, the group of three returned to the village entrance.

The young man was so tired that he was out of breath and almost vomited bile, but he didn't dare to stop and rest for even a second.

If he dares to stop, Tie Niu and the other two will not wait for him.

"In front... in front... are... Zhang Hao and his group from Wuda..."

The young man was breathing heavily, and the moment he saw them, he felt as if a burden had been lifted from his heart.

"Go back to the hut quickly, there is danger behind!"

Tie Niu did not relax but shouted loudly and rushed into the village directly past the young master and the others.

Li Qiaoer and Wu Da were originally confronting Zhang Hao, but when they heard Tie Niu shouting, they couldn't help but look back.

But I saw a darkness surging behind Tie Niu!

Yes, surging!

It seemed like a living thing, like a bloated, ugly mountain of flesh, rolling and crowding towards them!

"Run!"

A loud shout was heard and Li Qiaoer turned and ran.

The same thing happened to Wu Da, except Zhang Hao, who seemed to be half a beat slower. He held the statue in his hands and stared at the darkness in a daze for a second.

Finally, Shen Ming walked past Zhang Hao and glanced at the statue in his hand with his eyes lowered. He didn't know when a few thin dark brown vines were wrapped around the statue.

Carefully restrain the statue~

The end seems to have a little blood~

.........

Shen Ming passed by Zhang Hao and brought a gust of breeze, instantly waking Zhang Hao up from his dazed state.

Looking at the darkness in front of him, he seemed to remember something. A complex look of fear and expectation appeared in his eyes, and then he turned around and ran in panic.

Everyone returned to the hut, and the door closed instantly after Zhang Hao came in last.

Everyone brought everything they could to block the door, hoping to block out the disturbing darkness.

After a while, the outside of the house seemed to be quiet again. Someone looked out through the cracks and saw nothing outside.

"Phew~ It's safe..."

The young master and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, then collapsed to the ground as if exhausted, their bodies covered in sweat from running.

Li Qiao'er was also tired and sweating all over. She was not a martial artist but just an ordinary weak woman. At this moment, she was supported by Qin Xiangling and leaned against the corner, silently watching everyone.

Of course, her eyes were mainly on Zhang Hao, who was leaning against the corner with his brows furrowed.

Wu Da also looked at Zhang Hao coldly.

"Where did Lu Shuang go?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they all turned their eyes to Zhang Hao and the scholar.

The scholar looked flustered and at a loss as to what to do, looking at Zhang Hao in fear.

Zhang Hao held the statue in front of his chest with both hands, looking dazed, as if he had lost his soul.

Li Qiaoer frowned slightly and asked softly:

"Zhang Hao, is something wrong with Lu Shuang?"

“Ah…ah? Oh…”

"Lu Shuang... she got separated from us... We tried to find her, but to no avail. As night fell, we were helpless and could only return home..."

Zhang Hao seemed to have just woken up, and the first half of his words even had a hint of dreamlike confusion.

Ding Yuan said in a cold voice:

"Humph, did you guys team up to harm Lu Shuang?"

The scholar became anxious upon hearing this and hurriedly explained.

"No, no, for some reason a layer of fog suddenly rose up and separated the three of us. When we walked out of the fog, we couldn't find Lu Shuang. Please believe us, we really didn't harm Lu Shuang, and there was no reason to harm her."

He spoke anxiously, and his expression seemed anxious, as if he was afraid that others would not believe him.

This did dispel some of the doubts of Ding Yuan and others.
