Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1932
Ying Baoyue stood alone in the corner.

It was the darkest moment before dawn, a dark cloud floated above the bright moon, and the surroundings were so dark that you couldn't see your fingers for a moment.

The crow flew by, leaving behind a shrill cry, adding to the gloom.

A rustling sound came from Ying Baoyue's shoulder, and she felt her cheeks being licked by something cold and soft.

"Little flower?"

There was a crack in the dark cloud, and a little moonlight shone through it.Ying Baoyue turned her head to the side, looking at the little flower snake that climbed onto her shoulder.

This snake is actually very timid and sensitive to the surrounding environment, so it doesn't come out easily. After arriving in Xirong, it has been tucked into her sleeve. This is the first time it has crawled out.

Probably the smell of blood in the air in the Buddhist monastery was too strong. Under the faint light, Ying Baoyue could see the little snake's body trembling slightly.

"What are you doing out here?"

She stretched out her index finger and rubbed the little snake's head, "If you're scared, go back to sleep, don't try to crawl out."

Xiao Huashe straightened her upper body and swayed from side to side, as if she was trying to explain something to her.

Ying Baoyue was startled, "Are you trying to tell me that I'm not alone?"

The little snake nodded.

Ying Baoyue smiled, "Thank you."

"With you here, I've never been alone."

Xiaohua swayed her body contentedly, and put her head on her face, as if comforting her.

Ying Baoyue's eyes were a little dazed, and she reached out to touch the cold scales on Xiaohua's body, "You're a little weird tonight, why did you choose this time to comfort me?"

She laughed self-deprecatingly, "I obviously had a worse time before, didn't I?"

Xiao Hua couldn't speak, so naturally she couldn't answer her question, but just cuddled her body more tightly.

The smile faded from the corner of Ying Baoyue's mouth, and she said lightly, "If it's because of him, don't worry, I already knew he would leave."

Rather, all of Chunyu Ye's reactions were within her expectations.

"It's better if he's gone," Ying Baoyue quietly stared at the open space in front of him, "If we don't agree with each other, we won't seek each other."

The less she and Chunyu Ye get involved, the better.

If she and him can't kill each other, then staying away is the safest distance.

"It's my wish to save that man-faced beast, it has nothing to do with him," Ying Baoyue reached out and stuffed the little flower snake into his collar, "If he follows, I'm still tied."

The little snake struggled to poke its head out, Ying Baoyue pressed its head down.

"Hide it well."

Her gaze suddenly became sharp.

"The road ahead will be difficult."

"If anything goes wrong, remember to run away immediately and leave me alone."

……

……

On the dark and unfamiliar road, Ying Baoyue walked forward alone.

She had been walking for a quarter of an hour in the direction of the carriage she had noted down, but she hadn't seen any noteworthy places along the way except dilapidated houses and haystacks.

Where did the monastery hide the man-faced beast?
With a bang, a dead branch broke under his feet, and Ying Baoyue's whole body trembled.

There are empty houses everywhere, and every house is full of darkness, and I don't know what is hiding.

This feeling is even scarier than walking among the graves.

She didn't dare to use her true energy yet, so she could only use her five senses to alert her surroundings, which made her more sensitive, and any movement around her stimulated her nerves, and she sweated heavily after walking too far.

Ying Baoyue smiled wryly. Sure enough, without Chunyuye being on guard, her burden doubled.

But does this mean that she has always trusted him before?

The smile on Ying Baoyue's mouth faded instantly.

In the past when Chunyu Ye was by her side, most of her energy was used to warn him.But at this time, Ying Baoyue suddenly realized that when she was drawn into the crypt, she put all her attention outside, completely ignored Chunyu Ye's movements, and gave everything to her completely. over him.

A chill suddenly rose from Ying Baoyue's back, completely surpassing the coolness of Night Breeze.

This feeling is really scary.

Ying Baoyue couldn't help shivering a bit, at this moment she noticed the little flower in her sleeve moved.

She took a closer look, and saw a dark stable appearing between the dilapidated houses in front of her.

Ying Baoyue's heart skipped a beat.

There is a connection between the gods and beasts.

Xiaohua's reaction told her that there was a beast ahead.

Looking at the stables not far away, Ying Baoyue did not quicken her pace, but immediately hid in an empty room by the roadside.

The surrounding area was extremely quiet, only the crowing of crows could be heard.

Ying Baoyue hid under the window sill of the empty house and quietly looked out.

A lantern hung from the ledge of the stable, casting a dim light without shadows.

No one stands under a lantern unless that person is hiding in a stable.

Ying Baoyue closed her eyes, and the wind came from a distance, bringing a faint smell of blood and black mud, which was exactly the smell she had smelled in the crypt.

She still remembered that the tall disciple who was in charge of driving the horse had a strong smell of sweat, but there was no such smell in the night wind at this moment.

He's not here?

Speaking of which, the short disciple hid after being knocked out by Chunyuye.The person in charge of taking the medicine has not arrived for so long. If the tall disciple waiting here is a normal person, he should go out to look for it at this time.

But, would the people of Xirong leave that human-faced beast in one place without guard?

Ying Baoyue observed outside the stable for half a quarter of an hour, and found that no one was approaching, and there was no aura of practitioners around.

If we continue to wait like this, the tall disciples who have already left will probably come back.

Can't wait any longer.

Ying Baoyue made up his mind and walked out of the empty room.

She cautiously touched near the stables, and the smell of blood in the air became stronger.

No one else's breathing was heard.

There was no lock on the fence of the stable in front of me.

Ying Baoyue bowed her waist and got into the railing. The sound of a horse snorting sounded in front of her eyes. She raised her head violently in her heart. The scene in front of her almost stopped her heartbeat.

The tall disciple is in the stable.

And right in front of her.

He was lying face down on the cold muddy ground, his whole body was already stiff.

Ying Baoyue bent down and put her hand on his carotid artery.

he died.

The cause of his death should be...

Ying Baoyue looked at a black mark on the tall disciple's back, he seemed to have been kicked to this place, and died from the kick in the back of the heart.

The mark on his back looks like a horse's hoof print, but horses are not the only beasts with this shape of hoof print.

Ying Baoyue slowly raised her eyes and looked at the big cage in the stable in the distance.

Viscous blood and black mud dripped from the cracks in the cage, and the human-faced beast I had seen before was lying in the cage covered in blood with its eyes closed.

Her almost human shoulders and arms were covered with the man's fingerprints, but there was a large gap in the chain that had been inserted in her calf, and it had been dislodged.

She probably broke the chain on her leg secretly at some point, and gave him a fatal blow when the guard disciple took advantage of her.

But she was seriously injured, and this blow also exhausted her blood, and she fell into a coma.

"Hey, wake up!"

Ying Baoyue ran towards the human-faced beast, but when she stood still in front of the cage, her eyes suddenly went dark.

A pair of big cold hands grabbed her neck suddenly!
