Chapter 131 Plot 6 Bai Jin's Life in Danger
Bai Jin stood there quietly, his eyes fixed on the leading skeleton, wanting to see what it was up to. Chao Chao, a small figure on Bai Jin's chest, was tied up, only her hands hanging free. She held a small wooden stick in her mouth and stared curiously ahead.
The leading skeleton is the city lord. It is doing some strange movements, as if performing some mysterious ritual.
Bai Jin looked at the city lord's actions and said, "I really am a sacrifice." Bai Jin looked up at the sky for a moment and said, "Can he really do this with a clear conscience?" Bai Jin felt that everyone was destined to die, and the worst that could happen was that he would be torn into pieces. If he didn't die, he would definitely kill this city lord! Damn it!
During this long and tense wait, his spirit gradually became exhausted. Seeing this, the skeleton next to him grabbed Bai Jin's arm and shook it vigorously. Only then did Bai Jin regain consciousness, his eyes filled with confusion.
When he saw the city lord walking towards him, his heart tightened. The city lord grabbed Bai Jin's chin with one hand, exerting so much force that it almost dislocated it. "Kill him! Why are you so long-winded?" Bai Jin's chin was pinched so hard that it hurt!
The city lord saw the man in front of him say some courageous words before his death, but he was not angry at all. Instead, he let out a sinister laugh.
"Hmph, you want to die? Don't worry, I will make sure you die cleanly!" The city lord's voice sounded like it came from hell, cold and cruel.
He released the hand that was holding Bai Jin's chin and slowly paced around him. His heavy steps were like the rhythm of death. With each step, Bai Jin's heart tightened, not knowing what kind of horror he would face next.
At this moment, the city lord suddenly stopped and stared at Chao Chao in Bai Jin's arms like a hungry wolf seeing its prey. "This child is extraordinary." There was a hint of greed in the city lord's voice, and that greed seemed to want to devour Chao Chao.
Bai Jin's heart tightened and she protected Chao Chao tightly, fearing that the city lord would do anything bad to her.
"Give me this child and I can spare your life." The city lord offered a condition, with a hint of temptation in his voice, giving Bai Jin a way out.
Bai Jin refused without hesitation: "Damn it! You old immortal skeleton, you want everything! We father and I are going to die together!" Bai Jin's eyes were burning with anger. He stared at the city lord closely. He was planning to take his life by targeting Chao Chao. Bai Jin didn't even hate his father in his life, but now he hated this old skeleton the most.
"In that case, you all die together." A hint of ferocity flashed in the city lord's eyes. He drew out the sword in the middle of the altar. The sword flashed with a cold light in the sunlight, and the patterns on the sword gave off a strange aura, which made people shudder.
The sword stabbed at Chao Chao and Bai Jin at an extremely fast speed, so fast that it was almost impossible to react. At this critical moment, fortunately, Bai Jin left a life-saving formation for Chao Chao, which was a high-level illusion formation.
The illusion array instantly activated, a flash of light enveloping Chao Chao. The City Lord saw the sword pierce the child's body, then pierce the man's heart. A smug smile crossed his face. In reality, it was Bai Jin who was actually pierced through the heart.
After removing the sword, Bai Jinjin's face instantly turned pale as paper as he saw the pattern of blood flowing toward the altar floor where he stood. He felt his vitality rapidly fading, but he endured the pain and tried to stay awake.
He knew that now was not the time. He wanted to see whether the altar was used to restore the skeletons to their human form, or to use their blood to unlock forbidden techniques that should not exist. His heart was filled with doubts and worries, wondering what secrets were hidden behind this altar.
If Su Yan and the others could restore the skeletons to their human form, there might be a glimmer of hope, but if they used the forbidden technique, the consequences would be disastrous.
Chao Chao also felt the blood flowing from Bai Jin's chest. She put one of her little hands covered in blood and showed it to Bai Jin: "Roar... drip." The childish voice was full of doubts, as if asking what the red liquid was.
Bai Jin looked at Chao Chao's innocent appearance, and an indescribable sadness welled up in his heart.
The city lord felt the final step of the ritual was almost complete, so he stepped down and began to wait. His hollow eyes seemed filled with anticipation and hope, seeing the hope of breaking the curse for the people.
Bai Jin felt as if his body couldn't heal on this altar, and he was filled with doubts. He didn't understand why his wounds wouldn't heal. Could this altar have some special power preventing his body from healing? At the same time, he felt like he was about to die, his life force fading.
Bai Jin saw that the first three to recover were Su Yan and the other two, mainly because Song Yi's red clothes were too conspicuous.
But Bai Jin felt that if he didn't leave the altar, he might really die here.
Su Yan and the other two looked worried about Bai Jin, but their bodies remained uncontrollably, performing the same movements as the skeletons. Bai Jin knew they were also in trouble.
Bai Jin raised his feet with difficulty and moved for a while, then saw a glowing pattern appear where the city lord was. Bai Jin knew that this was a forbidden technique of trapping, and if he was really trapped, he would surely die.
He gritted his teeth until his lips bled, his heart filled with determination. He took a few steps back, turning to see the bottomless cliff behind him. Without time to think, he knew if he fell back, he might at least have a chance of survival. At this critical juncture, he could only take a gamble.
Seeing this, the city lord shouted angrily: "Damn it! The human beings we waited for so hard are just a little bit away! Why is God so unfair! They are just a little bit away!" His voice exploded in the air like thunder, full of unwillingness and anger.
He stared at the place where Bai Jin disappeared, his fists clenched tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms. He was unwilling to accept this. He had been planning for so long and was about to succeed, but failed at the last moment.
But at this time, Bai Jin had already fallen into the abyss and disappeared into the darkness.
As Bai Jin fell off the cliff, he held Chao Chao tightly in his arms, using his body to build a solid wall for her. The wind whistled past his ears, and Bai Jin had only one thought in his mind, which was to protect Chao Chao.
With a dull thud, Bai Jin landed heavily on the ground, the force of the impact threatening to shatter his body.
Fortunately, Chaochao had a life-saving secret treasure on him. A soft light instantly enveloped them, wrapping them tightly and preventing Bai Jin's body from being dismembered.
The huge impact still shattered all of Bai Jin's bones. He lay on the ground like a broken doll, lifeless.
Bai Jin lay on the ground, vomiting blood and fainting, and the rope on his body loosened.
Chao Chao supported herself with her hands and stood up, her small body trembling slightly. She saw that Bai Jin seemed to have stopped breathing, and tears welled up in her eyes and dripped onto Bai Jin's face.
