Chapter 193 Wrapped around his throat
Chu Tian's heart suddenly shrank, and fear was like a cold snake, wrapping around his throat, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. Ling'er, the only light in his life, was now completely unrecognizable, as if she was a demon crawling out of the abyss of hell.
Her face was covered with terrifying black lines, like some evil totem, and her eyes flashed with a strange red light. Her originally sweet smile now looked extremely strange. What made him even more horrified was that Ling'er's originally white hands had now turned into sharp black claws, flashing a frightening cold light.
"Ling'er...you..." Chu Tian's lips trembled, unable to believe what he saw.
"Brother Chutian, don't be afraid. I'm doing this to protect you." Ling'er's voice was hoarse and low, completely losing its former sweetness, like the sound of two rusty iron sheets rubbing against each other.
When the giant spider saw Ling'er's strange appearance, its huge body trembled slightly, as if it was a little afraid, and spoke in human language, its voice full of fear: "You...you are a demon?!"
"Get out!" Ling'er ignored the giant spider and just spat out one word coldly.
The giant spider seemed to be extremely frightened and actually turned around and ran away, disappearing into the dense jungle in the blink of an eye.
Chu Tian looked at everything that happened in front of him, his mind was blank. He didn't know what happened, nor did he know why Ling'er became like this. He only knew that Ling'er now made him feel strange and scared.
"Ling'er, what's wrong with you?" Chu Tian asked, suppressing the fear in his heart.
Ling'er turned around, stared at Chu Tian with her enchanting red eyes, slowly walked up to him, stretched out her black claws, and gently stroked his cheek.
"Brother Chu Tian, I said I would protect you forever..." Ling'er's voice was hoarse and gentle, but it made Chu Tian feel a chill.
He subconsciously wanted to avoid Ling'er's touch, but found that his body could not move. He could only watch the black claws getting closer and closer.
"Ling'er, don't..." Chu Tian closed his eyes in despair, waiting for death to come.
However, the expected pain did not come. He cautiously opened his eyes and found Ling'er looking at him with a complicated look, with the black claws staying beside his cheek, not getting any closer.
"Brother Chu Tian, are you afraid of me?" There was a hint of imperceptible sadness in Ling'er's voice.
Chu Tian looked at Ling'er's strange red eyes, feeling mixed emotions. He didn't know how to answer, whether it was fear, worry, or some other complex emotion, he couldn't tell at the moment.
"Ling'er, tell me, what happened? Why did you become like this?" Chu Tian avoided Ling'er's question and asked.
Ling'er was silent for a moment, slowly retracted her claws, turned around and walked to a rock and sat down, with her head lowered. Her long black hair covered her face, making it impossible to see her expression.
"Brother Chutian, do you believe that there are demons in this world?" Ling'er's voice was very soft, as if she was talking to herself.
Chu Tian was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why Ling'er suddenly asked this question. He came from a world with advanced technology. He always thought that the "demon" was just a myth and legend, and never took it seriously.
"Ling'er, I don't know, but I believe you." Chu Tian walked to Ling'er and said softly.
Ling'er slowly raised her head and looked at Chu Tian, with a complex light flashing in her red eyes.
"Brother Chu Tian, I... I am the 'devil' you mentioned." Ling'er's voice trembled, as if she had made some huge decision.
Chu Tian's heart skipped a beat. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything. Ling'er's words contained too much information for him, and he needed time to digest it.
"I know it's hard for you to accept, but..." Ling'er took a deep breath, as if she wanted to pour out all the secrets in her heart. However, at this moment, a loud noise like an earth-shaking explosion was heard, interrupting her narration.
"Roar--"
A deafening roar came from outside the valley, as if it came from an ancient ferocious beast, carrying a heart-pounding pressure.
Chu Tian and Ling'er's faces changed drastically. They looked up at the outside of the valley at the same time, only to see that the sky in the distance was covered by a huge shadow...
The shadow grew bigger and closer, accompanied by gusts of wind, as if it was going to swallow up the entire valley. Chu Tian squinted his eyes, trying hard to see the true face of the shadow, but the shadow was too fast and arrived above the valley in the blink of an eye.
"Roar--"
There was another earth-shaking roar of a beast, and Chu Tian finally saw the true face of the shadow. It turned out to be a huge flying beast with sharp claws and beak like an eagle. Its body was covered with black scales, which flashed cold light in the sun.
"Oh no, it's the Black Scale Demonic Eagle!" Ling'er's face changed drastically and she exclaimed.
"Black-Scaled Demonic Eagle?" Chu Tian was shocked. Although he didn't know what the Black-Scaled Demonic Eagle was, from Ling'er's tone, he knew that it was definitely not a good thing.
"Let's go!" Ling'er grabbed Chu Tian's hand and wanted to take him away from here.
However, it's too late.
The black-scaled demon eagle seemed to have discovered them. It let out a sharp cry and then swooped down suddenly. Its huge wings stirred up a gust of wind that blew the surrounding trees to and fro.
Chu Tian only felt a huge force coming at him. He could not resist at all. He could only watch himself and Ling'er being caught by the black-scaled demon eagle and flew high into the sky.
"Ah——" Chu Tian exclaimed, holding Ling'er's hand tightly, his heart filled with fear.
He didn't know where the black-scaled demon eagle was going to take them, nor did he know what fate was waiting for them. He only knew that he had no choice but to trust Ling'er.
Ling'er also tightly grasped Chu Tian's hand, her red eyes full of worry and anxiety. She knew that in her current state, she could not compete with the Black Scale Demonic Eagle.
The Black Scale Demonic Eagle carried Chu Tian and Ling'er high into the sky. Chu Tian looked down and saw that the scenery on the ground was getting smaller and smaller, and finally became a blurry scene.
"Ling'er, where is it taking us?" Chu Tian asked, suppressing the fear in his heart.
"I don't know either." Ling'er shook her head, "But judging from its appearance, it should be taking us back to the nest."
"Nest?" Chu Tian's heart sank, "Aren't we dead then?"
"Not necessarily." Ling'er took a deep breath and said, "Although I can't beat it, it won't be that easy for it to kill us."
Chu Tian felt a little more at ease after hearing this. He looked at Ling'er's delicate face, his heart full of gratitude and trust.
