Chapter 6: Entering the Demon Realm

8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 3
The magic of the shuttle realm is not a difficult magic in the human world and the demon world. However, the energy required to promote this magic is simply astronomical for ordinary magicians. Even the warriors at the heavenly level will be quite difficult. They must use special geomagnetic mutation points to successfully open the realm channel. As if they are so purely opened with power, they must join forces with Nier. They are almost two warriors at the peak of the strong heavenly level, and then they can open it as soon as they say it.

Shuving through the realm and coming to another world is a brand new experience for Nier.

If she hadn't known her life experience, she might not have agreed so quickly, but since she knew that the blood of the demons was also flowing in her body, she decided to come desperately.

Shuving out of the black and red tunnel, Ni'er suddenly felt dizzy, her chest was so upset that she was symptomatic of inhaling poisonous gas, and she thought she was caught by Chires' trick, but a heat quickly rose from her dantian and spread to her chest. In an instant, it seemed that two hearts were beating in her chest at the same time. The violent pain and powerful blood flow pulse drove away the drowsy feeling, and her mind immediately returned to awakening.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I deserve to be the one who inherited the blood of genius. I thought you would faint for a while, but I didn’t expect you to wake up so soon.This is the first time I have seen such adaptability speed.

A sneer came from the front, and Ni'er looked up and saw Chires flapping his wings and staying in the air, and behind him was a large dark scene.

The thick black clouds were boundless, extending straight behind Chires, so wide that it seemed to be boundless and within reach, the sky was full of black crows, as if late at night.

Uh... Is it night now in the Demon World?When is it?What time is it?

When he first arrived in a foreign environment, Nier asked a question with some anxiety, but it caused Chires's head-on laugh, but the laughter was soon covered by the rumbling thunder and thunder.

In the endless thick black clouds, light suddenly appeared, and thousands of bright lights flashed in the black clouds, with amazing momentum.

Usually in the world, Ni'er often hears people using golden snakes to describe lightning, but when she arrived in the demon world, she found that this description was really good. Only a few of them flashed downwards, and the rest were slid horizontally between the black clouds, and occasionally flashed, and then they drilled into the black clouds, shining in the thick dark clouds.

Nier and Chires were both floating in the sky, very close to the dark clouds above, and they could feel the lightning flashing randomly, which would hit their own pressure at any time.

In addition, the strong wind that was blowing wildly seemed to never stop. Ni'er wanted to speak several times, but the sound of the wind forced her to swallow her voice and couldn't speak.

Without the measuring instruments from Taijian Institute at hand, Nier has no way to judge the structural components of the air, but from every breath, she makes her brain feel slightly dizzy. The atmospheric components here are obviously turbid and can be called poisonous. If she does not have the protection of the demon skills, ordinary humans will be confused by the miasma as soon as they come here, they will immediately be fascinated by miasma, faint and fall to the ground, and die inexplicably.

Have you never heard of it in the human world before?There is no sun, no day, no night, only an endless eternal night.

Chires's laughter came in the strong wind, which sounded vaguely, but it was particularly harsh. Nier focused on listening carefully, but the thunder that came connected sounded wildly in her ears, making her dizzy and almost unable to stabilize her body.

boom!

Amid the series of thunder, a lightning slashed straight towards the ground. The huge golden lightning, like a ferocious golden poisonous dragon, hitting the ground with a powerful and fierce force. The powerful lethality approached the fierce attack of the warrior in the heavenly position. Only in the sound of the ground, a mound collapsed and collapsed, turning into dust and flying scattered.

Such fierce and domineering thunder and lightning are not common even in the human world's strong storms. However, in the Demon Realm, it seems that it can happen several times in a day. Every time the lightning flashes, several thunder pillars will slash down next to it.

From the deep marks on the ground, Nier could see this clearly.

Being attracted by lightning and lightning, Ni'er looked around and looked at this strange environment that she had only heard of but had witnessed for the first time.

I don’t know if it is because I came to the wild mountains and ridges. Although the area I am looking at is vast, it is just plains and hills. I can’t see any civilized buildings. There is no city, no buildings, no lights, just frequent lightning in the dark clouds, illuminating the earth one after another.

The vegetation on the surface is strange and is almost all plants that have never been seen in the human world. It covers the earth densely. Although the land nearby is full of salt rock formations, it is not as common sense as Nier is familiar with. Because of the strong thunder and strong winds, it turns the earth into a desert.

Judging from the situation where trees are everywhere, if there is sunshine that can illuminate the sky, the bottom may be a lush and verdant world.

However, although there are also thick trees below, it seems that they are not the pines, cypresses, cypresses, and cypresses in the human world, but some unknown vines and ferns, tangled and symbiosis, and work together to seek survival in this harsh dark world.

This is true for plants, so...what else is it?

There should be many creatures underneath the response of Tianxin consciousness, because the life reaction is so strong. However, when Ni'er explores further, those unknown lives give her a feeling of coldness, and she suddenly gets goosebumps all over her body, as if she is being tangled by a python full of mucus on her skin. Ni'er almost feels nauseous.

(Why do you feel this way? What exactly is there?)

This idea had just emerged, and the black clouds in front of him were surging, as if something was flying towards him. Ni'er looked closely and saw a red-winged giant bird as big as a carriage coming out of the cloud in a shiny light. It had a crown on its top, its color was golden, its wings were featherless and hairless, it was a very strange flesh membrane. It quickly motivated and rushed towards the ground, as if it was foraging.

There were no animals on the ground, maybe they were all hidden in the vine forest, or maybe this strange bird was a herbivorous creature. When Nier first saw the birds in the demon world, she was curious when she suddenly saw Qires' arms folded, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, as if she was waiting for something.

Nier looked along his gaze and saw a strange-shaped plant on the ground, about seven feet high, like a vertical flagpole, but the top part looked like a big lantern, flashing on the dark ground, vaguely illuminating the surrounding area.

The red-winged giant bird didn't look at the two people in the air. After flapping its wings up and down, it circled for several weeks. It stared at the glowing plant on its lower head. It sounded sharply and dived towards the lantern tree. Its posture was fast and beautiful. Ni'er was stunning, but unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred. A strange sound suddenly sounded from the ground below, a large number of earth and rocks trembled, and a huge giant suddenly broke out. Its huge body, dozens of feet long, was a one-horned giant python.

The glowing lantern tree is its horn. When its prey is lured to approach, it gives up sleeping and gets up from the dormant ground, moving amazingly fast. The red-winged giant bird was wrapped and blocked by its huge body before it could even turn. Then it was a fatal bite. Three rows of sharp giant teeth bite it on its body, and in an instant, the flesh and blood scattered out of the air.

The giant bird was not small in size, and the force of this bite was extremely strong. The blood spilled everywhere, even Ni'er was in the range of shooting. She took her busy schedule to dodge and avoid the dilemma of blood and body. She felt that the surroundings were stinking. She felt that the black shadow flashed in front of her eyes, and she had lost the figure of Chires. When she looked again, she suddenly flapped her wings and grabbed the front of the unicorn python.

Ha, in front of me, no one can bully the weak!

He spoke upright words, but from the arrogant and evil smile, he knew that Chires was just a simple irony, and his behavior gave the best annotation to this sentence. After he finished scolding with an evil smile, he pulled his left leg high and kicked it hard.

Nier could see clearly that while Qires raised his leg and kicked, he had already concentrated his demonic energy on his feet, and his left leg was lit and bright and golden rays were illuminated, which was a sign of the operation of the Great Demon Sword.

The giant python seemed to want to escape, but how could it be faster than Chires's slash? It was cut by the sharp air of the Great Demon Sword, and it was like a bamboo shoot, allowing the golden light to pass by. In a blink of an eye, it cut from the head to the tail. With a sound of collision, the huge body dozens of feet long separated and fell down in two directions.

A killing that was lightning-like, caused a bloody rain all over the sky, and the giant python corpses that fell heavily on the ground shook the earth. The instantaneous dull roar was like thunder, alarming the world. Even if Ni'er couldn't see the dark ground scene, she felt that the world under her feet was turbulent, and a large number of birds and beasts rushed to the four directions to escape the newly born king in the nearby ecosystem.

Why are you still stupid in the sky?Do you want me to invite you down?

A long distance away, but Nier, who had been paying attention to Chires, heard this and snorted, floating from the air to the ground. The blood seeped out of the corpse of the giant python dyed a sea of ​​blood within a hundred feet. She was unwilling to step on the dirty bloody soil, and the soles of her feet were always two inches away from the ground, half floating up.

Why kill randomly?

Nier also knew that this question was stupid. Asking Chires was as stupid as asking him why he wanted to eat, but now he was covered in blood and looked evil. Apart from this sentence, he couldn't find anything else to speak.

However, Chirez answered this question.

Because this area is not very safe, if you don’t find something to fight for demonstration first, you don’t want to walk on the ground.

Not only talking, Chires pointed to a certain direction. Nier looked along and saw a bunch of strange creatures running around in a series of vines and wild forests, as if she was intimidated by Chires's power to kill the giant python with a casual blow, and as if she had suffered a lot from him, she ran away at the moment when she heard the wind.

However, the process of running away in a panic was not smooth. When many fleeing creatures met, they gave up their attempts to escape and began to fight or attack the creatures fleeing in front of them.

Are you stupid?This is not the human world. Creatures in the demon world believe in the original law of power first. Even if they are wild beasts without intelligence, they will seize every opportunity to strengthen themselves.If you can first eliminate the original natural or powerful enemies on the way to escape to another area, this will better ensure the prosperity of the ethnic group in the new area.

Ni'er couldn't answer, but just looked at the bloody struggles in front of her, and gradually realized how fierce the survival competition in the demon world is and how harsh the living environment is. All species must do their best to survive in this dark world.

Chires said calmly: This kind of fighting spirit is worthy of encouragement, but if their brains are worthy of intelligence and have one-tenth of strong fighting spirit, the human world will not always be human.

How to say it?

Because they don’t remember the lessons, not only are they bad at brains, but their memory is also awful. They can’t remember the highest law of living in the jungle... The most dangerous things are often not moved.

It seemed as if it was intended to confirm Chires' ridicule. When his words came out, a strange wind suddenly blew up in the dense forest where he was originally involved in the riot of the battle.

Ni'er stood far away from the woods, smelling the smell, immediately holding her breath, not being fascinated by the anesthetic ingredients inside, but many creatures busy fighting in the woods were not so lucky and fell one by one in the anesthetic vengeance.

When many commotions disappear at the same time and all moving creatures cannot move, those originally silent creatures have moved.

The vines and wild trees that form the dense forest sway their branches and leaves as if they were consciously swaying, sweeping them towards the prey on the ground, wrapping them one by one onto the trees.

The natural world of the Demon Realm is a very quiet world.

After all prey is wrapped around the tree, spikes grow in some parts of the vine, piercing into the prey's body, or starting to suck the prey's body fluid, or inject anesthesia venom to prolong the survival time of the prey and serve as a food storage.

Through Tianxin's consciousness, Ni'er clearly felt the creatures that could not move, all kinds of dying fears and calls for help, and thousands of miserable crys rang out in her mind, making Ni'er feel indignant. She took a step forward and wanted to do something, but as soon as she took it, she was immediately stopped by a dark arm.

do what?Who are you? You have just arrived in the Demon Realm and want to question the ecological system that has lasted for tens of millions of years?If you put these prey on, what will those trees eat?Eat you?

Chires said: You, a newborn demon like a little kid, can't even take care of the matters in the human world. Do you think of going to the demon world to meddle in other people's business?

After being said by Qires, Nier had to stop and looked at all this helplessly. The novelty and excitement and tension when she first arrived in the demon world had all disappeared, and replaced by a heavy but real feeling.

This is the real demon world!I was born and raised in my hometown...

If I really grew up in this land and in such an environment, then what would I become today?

He has to struggle to survive every moment. Will he become a lunatic who regards fighting and killing as a matter of silence like Chires?

But in this environment, madman should be easier to survive than normal people!

What kind of creature I am, you don’t need to comment, and you can’t guarantee what kind of personality I will become if I were born elsewhere...

Detecting a trace of sympathy in Ni'er's eyes and guessing the thoughts in her mind, Chires spoke in anger, but after saying this, he immediately added another sentence.

Anyway, it will definitely not be a monk or a monk...

No matter how Chires changes, she will never become a good man and a trustworthy woman. Nier deeply feels that this is true, but when she wakes up from the impact of the bloody scene just now, she thinks of the destination of this trip.

The demonstrative strike of Chires fully shocked the monsters in this area. You don’t have to worry about a series of attacks when walking, nor do you have to hit them all the way. Even at this moment, the vines that were scrolling and dancing were far away from the two of them, and they dared not provoke these two evil stars. So, since the road conditions have been clear, where is the destination?

There is a stone mountain in front of it, which is bare and should be very conspicuous. The place we are going to is there.

Well, it doesn’t seem like you took me to climb a mountain in the Demon Realm. What should be hidden in that stone mountain, right?Even if you don’t want to say it now, at least tell me why you don’t fly over directly?Walking from here, you can see that you can see more than a hundred miles away!

Qires didn't seem to be trying to explain, but Nier's attitude was quite tough and resolute, which forced him to leave his words and tell Nier that the stone mountain was a geomagnetic special point, similar to Shangri-La in the human world. It has multiple natural barriers and magnetic storms from time to time. Even if he is a warrior at the heaven, he will suffer a great loss when caught off guard.

Suffering a big loss?Isn't this too exaggerated?We are not newbies who have just entered the heavenly throne, but the best among the strong heavenly throne. What natural power can pose a threat to us?

Nier questioned it with common sense, but Chires's eyes looked very strange, and he only threw down one sentence in the end.

...Natural forces and natural disasters are different.

Nier soon realized what Chires meant.

When they spent nearly a day and a night walking in the lonely wilderness hit by the strong wind, crossing the dense forest, and finally arrived at the stone mountain, Nier discovered that there was something strange around the sky.

The bare stone mountain is like a huge stone pillar standing up from the sky, rising straight from the wilderness and extending majesticly. Apart from a small amount of moss and ferns, it is almost as smooth as a mirror, constantly reflecting the flashing lightning and shining.

Because the sky was dark and dark, Ni'er did not notice at first that the atmosphere flowed extremely strangely in the sky around the peak of the stone mountain. It was not until the lightning flashed frequently that she discovered that the sky was shining with strange white light, and it was one in the east and one in the west, centered on the peak of the stone mountain. The sky around the hundred miles was like a standard chessboard, constantly flashing light, looking up from the bottom, it was like seeing the strange scene in the kaleidoscope.

The flash of light was irregular, sometimes in the south and sometimes in the north, irregularly shining in the sky, but in this hundred miles of airspace, the flow of thick dark clouds almost stopped, and the lightning was even more visible, as if it was affected by the mysterious power here, completely suppressed.

Those flashes are what you call natural disasters?It seems that there is no lightning power, Ah!

This is a special point of geomagneticity, and the powerful earth energy and lightning energy affect each other, making the space here extremely unstable.The flashes you see are phenomena that time and space are changing. Each flash point is connected to a different space, and it may pass through it. It may go to the human world, to a corner of the demon world, or to be thrown into another continent, or to the deep sea... However, there is no one who returns to life, which is an obvious fact.

Nier was shocked by this narrative and finally understood the reason why Chires couldn't help but come directly from the air. When she saw that there seemed to be engravings on the stone mountain, the font was strange and it should be the text of the demon clan. She couldn't read it herself, so she asked Chires for explanation.

There were originally five stone mountains here, which were of varying lengths and shaped like five claws facing the sky. In ancient history, it was called Wuclaw Mountain. However, I don’t know which great demon king did not know how to practice martial arts and get out of fire. He couldn’t see the five peaks, so he ordered the powerful people under his command to destroy the other four, leaving the stone mountain in the middle to provoke the thief God. The few big words on the stone mountain are - Zhongzhi Mountain.

Chires said: However, from a certain period, this name was changed to the termination mountain, allowing all demons to stop here. If outsiders break in, they will be killed by the residents inside, and they will not even spit out their bones.

Don't even spit out the bones?So fierce?Will the residents inside eat people?

Not only eat people, they will eat anything they catch.The Seizure Mountain is one of the three Jedi in the Demon Realm. It has nothing but rocks, wind and sand inside. The people inside have no way to survive, and they can only eat creatures that accidentally enter the valley.

So miserable?Can't they come out?As long as you walk out of the termination mountain, although it is barren outside, it should not be difficult to find food, at least it is easier to starve to death!

The reason why the Zhongzhan became a Jedi is that outsiders cannot enter and people inside are not allowed to come out. If they rashly walk into the outside world, they will be regarded as public enemies by the entire demon clan and will work together to kill.

Public enemy?If it were the explanation of the human world, it would be the criminals. What crimes did they commit and should be dealt with in this way?

When he first arrived in the demon world, Nier had no idea about the behavior of the demon race. He speculated that based on the habits of the demon race, rape and plunder should not be a serious crime. So what kind of heinous evil is it to use such an extinct treatment?

It's really curious.

Code is something that is allowed to be written by those in power. What determines whether the sin is serious is not morality, but political stance.Standing on the wrong side in the struggle for power is an unforgivable sin in itself...

Chires glanced at Ni'er and said lightly: The only sin that ended the mountain was committed is to betray the laws of the demon world, betray the pride of the demon clan, and try to shake hands with humans.Since the ex-Great Demon King was overthrown and the demon army withdrew from the demon world, the old subordinates who were still loyal to the former demon king were beaten to sinners, wandering around and hiding in various parts of the demon world. A group of people gathered together, broke through and hid in the Middle Finger Mountain, and then the name was changed to become a Jedi.

Below the towering stone mountain, there was a narrow valley. Nier followed Chires slowly and listened to his explanation. He looked at the marks of swords and axes, residual blood, broken arrows and crossbows, and strange-shaped bones on both sides of the canyon. It shows that more than once tragic bloody battles have occurred here.

According to Chires, when the group of sinners captured the end mountain, they called on the old subordinates of the former Great Demon King to gather, and this action angered the current demon regime, so a huge army of conquering the place, preparing to destroy these traitors in one fell swoop.

The strength of the two sides is very different from the reserve resources. This battle should have been decided in a short time, but the residents of the valley fought dozens of times with the expedition army with the advantage of geographical advantages and fought with the expedition army with a desperate fighting style that was almost dead. Each expedition army had the advantage at the beginning, and finally withdrew from the canyon with heavy losses. They fought a war for more than a hundred years. Finally, the Great Demon God King ordered the withdrawal of troops. Before leaving, they washed the entire canyon and the periphery with demon fire and poisonous rain, leaving no grass or insect, and marked the ending mountain as a forbidden area of ​​the demon clan. Anyone who came out from it would be killed immediately without mercy.

The cold wind blew, and Ni'er couldn't help but shivered. The towering rock walls on both sides of the canyon blocked the scenery on both sides, leaving only a gap of sky above. If you are in the human world, you can still see a trace of light, but in the dark demon world, even if you look up, you can only see thick black clouds, just like this canyon without vitality. Every step you take, you can feel that deep despair and sorrow.

The pain that has been blocked in such a place for many years is beyond imagination. What kind of force is it that allows these people to support them?

These residents... are all old subordinates of the former Great Demon King. Because their leaders supported them refused to bow their knees to obey the current Great Demon King, they have lasted for thousands of years of stubborn resistance.

So, the former Great Demon King really has such a strong leader charm. He has allowed so many subordinates to follow him in life and death. Not only did he change his beliefs and positions, but he still remained with him for a thousand years after his death and insisted on his original ideals?

An inexplicable touch, when Ni'er raised her eyes to look at the end of the canyon, rose from the depths of her heart, which made her feel the urge to shed tears, mourning the dead souls who passed away in this canyon.

Very touched?It's no wonder, in terms of relationships, these people are your father's old subordinates and your slaves, so it's right for you to do something.

What did you say?

After being said by Qires, Nier woke up and knew who the black armored boy in the stone chamber illusion was, and also knew his identity.

I really couldn't imagine that I was really a princess. Even if I went to the Demon Realm, I was still a princess royal relative in the Demon Realm. However, this princess title is probably not accepted by the current regime, and will be immediately recruited to pursue it as soon as it goes out. It's a bad luck to think about it.

However, after the initial surprise passed, Nier immediately reacted.

Chires obviously knew his identity for a long time and recognized who he was. No matter how this guy knew, he was very clear about his attempt to keep him tightly.

You... recognized me when you were in Jerusalem and wanted to use me to enter the end mountain?

Hahaha, the whereabouts of Temujin's daughter is a big mystery in the history of the demon clan. I don't know how many people are chasing them, including those fools in the mountains, all of whom have a great dream of seeing the ghosts. I want to say that one day I find you and do something about revolutionary cause.But although those guys are stupid, there are a few guys in it that are good at making it hard to break through...

Qires smiled so proudly, but Nier also vaguely heard from his words that the residents of the Zhongshu Mountain were former demon generals, and their martial arts cultivation was naturally extraordinary, and it was even possible that there were heavenly warriors. Qires must have been here before and tried to break into the Zhongshu Mountain, but his power was sealed at that time, and he returned in a desperate manner. It was a great blessing to be able to escape. Although his power has been restored, he is still afraid of the masters inside, so he needs to use himself to enter Zhongshu Mountain.

The problem is that Chires is not an idle person who has nothing to do when he is full. He will enter the termination mountain so deliberately. There must be something important inside. Will he be too stupid to help him in for no reason?

You have no choice. This is our original agreement. As long as you leave the termination mountain, you and I will part ways and have nothing to do with it. But before that, if you want to repent, we will change the form and I will capture you in. Those fools inside have to give way when they see you, the hostage.

snort!Do you just surrender?

Ni'er took a step back slightly, took off her posture, and the demonic power quickly transported her whole body.

His injuries have been healed and his strength has been restored almost the same. In a fair fight, he may not lose to Chires, and he does not need to be intimidated by his false words.

...You have made rapid progress in the Demonic Art. You are worthy of being the one who inherits the blood of genius, but you are only a human body now, and have not yet changed back to your true identity, and your power is suppressed. You want to fight with me... Hehe, you still... um!

Chires paused, and the contempt on his face turned into surprise. He seemed to be afraid to end something in the mountain and walked slowly in the canyon with Nier. At this time, he suddenly used his light skills, spread his wings behind him, and rushed towards the end of the canyon.

Ni'er was stunned for a moment, but she also thought that something might have happened. She stopped talking and followed Chires with all her might. The two of them quickly passed through the empty and lonely canyon and entered the termination mountain.

After crossing the narrow valley, Ni'er's eyes suddenly became cheerful. In front of her was a circular valley with a vast space. The surrounding stone walls were carved into deep caves. In each sunken cave, there were a huge stone statue more than ten feet high. Looking around, there were no less than hundreds of giant statues located in the empty valley caves.

Each stone statue has different shapes and looks different from that of humans. Some have horns on their foreheads, some have long wings on their backs, or green-faced fangs, or eight-armed snake bodies, but most of them have angrily eyebrows and various weapons in their hands. They look hideous and terrifying. Although they are just stone statues without life, they emit a chilling and evil aura. Thousands of stone statues are located in one place, looking like they have entered another world.

Ni'er looked around and said: Is this... a god in the demon world?Or is it a stone statue of the great demon kings of all dynasties?

Chires did not answer or comment, but just flew forward. Nier looked at his landing point and found that the stone floor there was covered with dents. After looking closely, the dents caused by these punches and kicks were almost all over the entire ground, but because the light was dim, it was impossible to see clearly.

Isn't the battle just in the canyon?Someone came here too?

Nier asked questions, but seeing these traces were very new, and Chires's actions were so strange that they immediately understood that something must have happened in the end of the mountain. It is very likely that another war broke out in the past or two years, and the demon army attacked this place, but Chires was stuck in the human world, so he knew nothing about it.

This speculation was quickly confirmed.

Qires raised his left hand, and I don’t know what technique he used. A red light ball emerged from his left palm and shot into the sky. A sudden red light burst out of the sky, illuminating the entire valley and dispelling the darkness in every corner of the place.

Ah!

Ni'er exclaimed, and through the red light, she suddenly found that there were dead bodies everywhere in this quiet valley. In front of every cave, there were many corpses lying in a mess, with broken weapons everywhere, and traces of fierce fighting. The bloody battle was even more tragic than the canyon outside.

Chires's face was extremely bad.

He knew exactly how strong the sinners who ended the mountain had. If these people were not strong enough, they had been killed two thousand years ago and could not have been able to stick to this place forever, which caused the demon army to fail to attack repeatedly. He had sneaked in several times before, and had suffered a great loss here, and once he almost gave his life here.

However, the Seizure Mountain is now being broken, with no difference between men, women, young and old, and all of them are slaughtered. In this way, the secret hidden here is also...

Chires's face was unstable and he was slightly focused. Instead, Nier noticed something was wrong, as if someone was walking over from the other side of the valley.

(Are there any living people here?)

As if answering Ni'er's suspicion, a figure appeared on the other side of the valley. When Ni'er saw the person's appearance clearly, she was shocked.
