A few people walked into a deserted village. In front of them was a straight village road, with low houses buried in the wind and sand on both sides. Only a small slope in front of them had a village temple built on it. It could be seen at a glance.

The village temple is located on a high ground, with a stone staircase connecting it below. The village temple is at the end of the village road, and for a moment there is a feeling that the whole village is worshiping the gods in the temple.

Lin Jue held a small bottle to capture the wind and sand.

"Ouch..."

The fox turned to Lin Jue and said.

"What does it say?"

The little junior sister turned around and asked her senior brother.

"Ahead! The house! I can't run anymore!" The fox turned to the little junior sister again and said.

"I can't run anymore~"

The colorful raccoon cat next to him yawned and said.

Lin Jue was not surprised by this.

After chasing for so long, the rat demon finally ran out of energy, and his body and mind could no longer hold on. This was actually something he could slowly feel. The two sides were rivals, and they knew each other's status very well.

The setting sun slowly sets in the distance, and the clouds above our heads are gradually coated with a golden-red sheen.

Lin Jue put away the bottle in his hand.

The three of them led their horses forward, with the wind and sand at their feet.

Follow the road in the village to the end, to the foot of the village temple, and enter the first gate. You can just go up the stone steps and enter the second gate. It is just the ceremonial gate of the village temple, and there is another.

Just entered the village temple.

There was a squeak.

The village temple has long been dilapidated, and even the statues inside are broken. Because it is facing the setting sun, the sky is dark, and the temple is a little dim, with dust falling.

There was a hanging rope hanging from the beam, and a ghost stood beside it.

The moment a few people saw the ghost, the ghost was a streak of yellow smoke blowing towards them.

However, several people had expressionless faces and refused to avoid it.

"Huh? You guys are resting here too?"

"It's not dark yet, you bitch is out to harm people. You should have some moral principles, right?" Luo Monk stood beside him and said.

"What are you talking about? Come on, come on, stand here, I'll show you a baby!"

Seeing that Luo Monk accepted his words, the ghost called Luo Monk and asked him to stand in front of the hanging rope.

This ghost thought that Monk Luo was bewitched by it, but it was already dizzy. Unexpectedly, the martial artist was full of blood and was not afraid of these crooked tricks at all.

"Come here and I'll show you a treasure too."

"What?"

The ghost was a little confused for a moment.

I saw the warrior pull out a long sword. The blade was filled with evil energy and had its own aura. The ghost was so frightened that he lost his soul and turned around to run away.

But how can I outrun Luo Monk?

With a swipe! The long sword was swung down, and the temple was dimly lit. A flash of sword light flashed through, directly cutting the ghost in half.

This is also a common method used by this rat demon along the way——

If there are goblins and ghosts somewhere that it knows about, it will definitely bring a few people there to delay their time. Perhaps it also hopes to kill a few people, which will add a lot of aura to Luo Gong's sword.

But now it's all in vain.

The fox left the temple.

The group of people also followed the fox and walked out of the temple.

Under the increasingly dark sky, a series of very small footprints in the sand lead to the sand dunes behind the village temple.

When everyone climbed up the sand dune, the rat demon was sitting here. Not only was there no strength left in his body, but his mana was also exhausted, and there was no room for replenishment.

It seems like he is resigned to his fate but he is actually trying his best to do this.

The fox and the colorful fox, one on the left and the other on the right, walked forward unhurriedly and stood on the left and right sides of the rat demon respectively.

"well……"

The rat demon couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Suddenly his expression condensed and he gripped the wooden staff tightly.

With a bang, it transformed into two rat demons, one going to the left and the other to the right, and running away respectively.

However, neither the fox nor the colorful raccoon moved. They just turned their heads and watched the rat demon running to the right staggering for a few steps before falling down again. The rat demon on the left moved forward crazily.

However, its body was so illusory that it was obvious at a glance that it was fake and not real. It didn't run very far when the hood disappeared with a sound.

The fox and Caili then walked up again.

The three of them also ran towards the rat demon.

Lin Jue had no expression on his face.

He chased it for half a year and had many encounters with it, but was run away by it. The key to this was that the Earth Escape spell was true, but it was not just that.

This rat demon is very capable.

It's just that its ability is not in fighting.

When it was finally time to decide the winner, Lin Jue felt an indescribable feeling, both happy and empty, so he just walked slowly up the sand dunes and said to the rat demon:

"I'm really impressed that you can still run for so long after being marked by us. If given the chance, you may not be able to become a demon king with just one step. I'm talking about a real demon king."

"You haven't been chasing me for so long..."

Although the rat demon was weak, he held on to the wooden staff to prevent himself from showing signs of depression. He also tried his best to keep his voice steady and maintain his dignity.

But it still couldn't help but ask Lin Jue: "Are you so unwilling to spare me?"

Lin Jue looked at it, still expressionless: "If I spare you, can you forget the blood feud that you have held for several years and never seek revenge from me?"

"..."

The rat demon was silent, then sighed, closed his eyes, and just said:

"If there is an afterlife, I would like to be a human being."

"laugh!"

Lin Jue's long sword stabbed down from its head.

The wind blows the yellow sand, carrying a slight smell of blood.

The matter is finally over.

"..."

Lin Jue took a deep breath.

After half a year of chasing monsters, I am full of energy, but in the middle of the wind, frost, rain, snow, and thousands of miles, how can it not be tiring at all?

Now that the matter is over, I feel relaxed.

Not only do you no longer have to worry about the rat demon going to seek refuge with some demon king to avenge it, or if you achieve success in the future and seek revenge on yourself, but more importantly, you feel relieved that a lingering grudge has been settled, so there is something in the relief.

It's quite enjoyable, yet a bit empty amidst the pleasure.

Lin Jue sat down, simply thinking about nothing, letting everything go, and enjoying the scenery at this moment.

It's the sunset in the desert, the boundless glow.

The setting sun has only a corner left, and the sky is already orange. Not only the horizon, but also the top of the head, and even the entire desert is also reflected in red.

The shadows of three people, three horses, a fox and a cat are all lengthened.

The night wind keeps blowing. At this moment, I can really do nothing, think about nothing, don't have to worry about anything, and don't have to exert any more effort. I can just enjoy the wind and watch the sunset in the distance.

Until the sun completely sets, there is still a ray of glow on the horizon, with dreamlike gradient colors.

Unknowingly, the whole person was immersed in the scenery at this time.

The vast sky and earth here are empty, and the hearts of Taoists are also empty. It is not clear whether a Taoist is installed in the empty world, or whether the empty world is installed in the Taoist's eyes and heart.

Amid the howling wind, there was suddenly a Taoist voice.

"Luo Gong? Is this the Western Region?"

"It's the Western Region."

"The Western Region..."

The Taoist moved his body slightly, and a bottle fell out and landed on the sand. The white glaze of the bottle reflected the light of the setting sun.

Lin Jue picked up the bottle by mistake.

He stretched out his hand towards the distant horizon, twisted it, and put it into the bottle. It seemed like an ordinary action, but there was actually a touch of glow in the bottle. It was like a dream, and it was hard to distinguish between reality and reality, just like the sky at that moment.
