Chapter 22: The Cowardly Rose
It's not so much a layer of ancient tombs as a corridor.
The corridor is about three meters wide and very long.
Looking into the distance, dense evil spirits are scattered everywhere, wandering unconsciously, and the exit of the tomb door can be vaguely seen at the end.
This is the equivalent of a ghost tide.
It was at this moment that a faint voice sounded beside me. "Can you take me out?"
I looked down and saw that there was an evil spirit at my feet.
However, he was small, the size of a teenager.
Seeing that it was an evil spirit, I was too lazy to talk nonsense. The dagger in his hand slashed at him.
He was so frightened that he shrank straight into the wall, and my dagger slashed firmly into the wall, and he was actually a coward.
This action immediately attracted an evil spirit who was close to me, and he flew quickly.
I didn't dare to be stunned any longer, and took out a dagger.
The demon was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it flew in front of me, raised its sharp fingers, and thrust it into my face.
I used the dagger as a shield to block the front.
The demonic fingers stuck in it, making a metal crashing sound. Although it was blocked, it still made me take a few steps back.
"That's a lot of force. ”
I glanced at the dagger, and a white mark was clearly visible, although this evil spirit was all evil spirits, but it was much more powerful than ordinary evil spirits.
And the strength is very great, like a strong man, it is very difficult to attack, but fortunately there is no sense.
Should I use evil things?
I used my dagger to fend off his attacks again and again, while thinking about my thoughts.
The crux of the evil spirit lies in his head, as long as the yin qi gathered in his head is dispersed, the whole body will dissipate.
I switched from defense to offense, constantly attacking his head with a dagger, and the demon knew his weakness, and whenever I charged a blow, he would always notice it, and then block his head with his hand to prevent me from attacking.
And my dagger slashed at his hand as if it were on a stone, and sparks sparked.
Just when I was at a loss, the coward inside the wall spoke: "You are useless, I can help you, I have a short sword in my body, it has been conceived by me for a long time, it can hurt evil spirits, what you lack now is a sharp weapon." ”
"No, we'll settle the account later, and when I solve this evil spirit, you'll be next. "As soon as I hear the coward's voice, I don't feel well.
"I don't mean to hurt you, do you know how many years I've been here? ”
"Don't tell me it's useless, I don't have any reason to trust you. I said as I fought back.
These demons are very cunning, and if they are not careful, they can easily suffer.
The coward was silent, and after a while he spoke, "I can serve you as Lord, if only you could take me out and see the outside world." ”
"Huh?" I froze for a few seconds when I heard his words.
"Be careful!" the coward quickly reminded me of my distraction.
I came back to my senses and was fighting! I was able to dodge the demon's attack, and I was almost hit.
I was distracted because the coward's offer was too good.
According to the Taoist art of warding off evil spirits, there are two ways to contract with evil spirits.
One is equality, and the other is confession.
Most will opt for equal contracts.
For the confession of the word of the Lord is consensual on both sides.
And once the evil spirit confesses the Lord, he will unconditionally obey the master's orders, even if I let him die, he must obey.
Guo You signed an equal contract with his evil spirits, so he was always bullied, if he signed a master-servant contract, then the five evil spirits would obediently obey his orders.
The words of the coward made my heart move.
Although his strength is very weak, one more evil helper can help me guard against some other ghosts.
"Is that true?" I asked.
"Of course. ”
"Then you'll have to show your sincerity, and maybe I'll take you out. I said as I fended off the demon's attack.
"Good. The coward agreed, and then his body began to tremble, and a wisp of soul energy flew out of his body and merged into mine. There was nothing uncomfortable about it, but I felt that at the first thought of me, the ghost of the coward vanished.
"I've given you my master's soul, so it's sincere. The coward asked.
The coward is actually afraid that I will kill him when I get his main soul, but he is even more afraid to stay here, he has been in this tomb for a long, long time, and he is about to go crazy.
"Give me your dagger. I said as I fended off the demon's attack.
The coward knew that I had let him go, and he didn't pursue it, so he immediately took out a short sword from his mouth with a happy expression and handed it to me.
With my dagger in hand, I switched from defense to offense.
After a few rounds of grappling, I finally caught a gap and took advantage of the evil one not paying attention.
Grabbing the short sword, he jumped and stabbed directly at the center of his eyebrows.
Although it was a little off, it was fortunate that it stabbed its head, and the evil spirit fluttered a few times before turning into a cloud of black smoke and dissipating.
"Whew. I let out a long sigh and sat down on the floor.
Finally solved one, but fortunately I was clever enough.
But when I saw the dense evil spirit, I still sighed. "Forget it, let's use red yarn!"
Before I knew it, I was becoming more and more dependent on this evil thing.
