Volume 2 The Underground Labyrinth Chapter 42 Countdown to Death
At 6:59 a.m., there were less than five hours left before the pumpkin juice failed and Zhang Tianlin died of poison. At this moment, Shen Xiaolang, the doctor, and Ding Xiaofan were cautiously going deep into the Devil's Eagle Valley.
However, at this time, Ding Xiaofan was already left with an empty body. But Shen Xiaolang still didn't know about this matter.
"Quack!" As soon as they entered the valley, Shen Xiaolang and the others heard a hissing sound like a crow around them. Then, a group of owl-shaped creatures quickly flew out of the cracks in the surrounding stone walls.
The reason why they resemble owls is because these strange creatures are not of a human species. Rather, it was originally born on Huangquan Road as a creature that fed on the dead and looked like an owl.
This creature is called the Yin Bird in the Yellow Spring of the Netherworld, and is specifically responsible for ferrying the reincarnation of ownerless resentful souls. And some of the earth's extreme yin places will also have Yin birds, and living people are called ghost eagles because of their appearance characteristics.
"Everyone be careful! The toxins on the claws of the ghost-headed eagles can turn people into blood in an instant!" Looking at the group of ghost-headed eagles flying over the valley, Shen Xiaolang couldn't help but clench the machete in his hand, and used the beam of light of the strong flashlight to shine into the air to blur his vision.
But for Shen Xiaolang's reminder, Ding Xiaofan and the doctor still stood aside unmoved, as if they hadn't noticed the group of ghost-headed eagles above their heads, or had nothing to do with them at all.
"Quack!" Another scream was heard, and the number of ghost-headed eagles was more than doubled. For a moment, the entire valley was obscured by a barrier formed by a flock of ghost-headed eagles.
In addition, the originally chaotic group of ghost-headed eagles suddenly became orderly. Immediately afterwards, a black shadow dozens of feet long crossed over everyone's heads, and finally stopped about five meters in front of the ghost eagle group.
After the giant black shadow stabilized its figure, Shen Xiaolang saw the true face of this behemoth in mid-air.
I saw that this giant creature located five meters away from the ghost eagle flock was like an owl that had been magnified hundreds of times. The only thing that distinguishes it from an owl is that it has a silver eye about 50 centimeters in diameter and no eyeballs in the middle of its skull.
Not only that, but after its wings were fully unfolded, the total length reached more than twenty meters!"How is it possible, it is actually the legendary Ghost Eagle King!" Seeing this, Shen Xiaolang hurriedly held his breath, for fear that the sound of breathing would disturb this brutal monster.
But no matter how Shen Xiaolang quietly dragged Ding Xiaofan and the doctor out of the valley, he still attracted the attention of the Ghost Eagle King.
"Whew!" Seeing the presence of a living person, the Devil-headed Eagle King suddenly erupted into a roar similar to a dragon's groan. "Quack!" heard the call of his leader, and the other devil-headed eagles roared with him.
Tens of thousands of ghost-headed eagles emitted sound waves from roaring at the same time, so that Shen Xiaolang could only cover his stinging ears tightly and squat alone in the corner. In addition to the stinging eardrums, he even felt like his internal organs were about to be shattered.
The roaring continued for five or six minutes before it subsided. After the cry stopped, led by the Devil-headed Eagle King, the heads of the Devil-headed Eagles in the entire valley actually rotated horizontally by one hundred and eighty degrees!
Not only the head, but while turning the head, a barb-like tail grew out of the back of these ghost-headed eagles. Among them, the iron tail of the Ghost Head Eagle King is ten meters long and extremely thick.
"Click!" only an exaggerated voice sounded, and under Shen Xiaolang's stunned gaze, the back of the Ghost Eagle's originally bare head slowly turned into a grimace with human eyes, nose and mouth, but terrifying.
In particular, the bloody mouth that spanned the entire head and was covered with fangs as sharp as daggers made the whole grimace a little more hideous. Presumably, this is where the name of the Devil's Eagle was derived.
"Whew!" Before Shen Xiaolang could come back to his senses, the Ghost Eagle King flapped his wings suddenly. Immediately afterward, a strong air stream quickly passed through the entire valley. Then, as if frightened, the poisonous insects and poisonous snakes in the valley scattered in all directions.
Under this icy and biting strong wind, Shen Xiaolang, who weighed seventy-five kilograms, actually moved straight back three meters away.
This is a harbinger when the Ghost Head Eagle King is about to attack! Thinking of this, Shen Xiaolang hurriedly slashed his palm with the machete, causing blood to flow on the blade of the machete.
"Ding Xiaofan, you and the doctor hide behind me first. If I die, you can flee here as fast as you can!" With that, Shen Xiaolang inserted a strong flashlight into the crack in the stone wall beside him, and used both hands to hold the machete stained with his own blood tightly.
But despite facing the ghost-headed eagle that would attack him and others at any time, Ding Xiaofan and the doctor still stood motionless in the corner, as if they were puppets that had suddenly broken their strings.
Seeing this, Shen Xiaolang realized that something was wrong with the two. "Damn! It's too late! The first form of the Shen family's knife technique, thunder!" With a loud shout, Shen Xiaolang slowly raised the machete that was full of cracks that was shocked by the current, and gathered all the qi in his body to his right hand.
"Whew!" At the same time, the Ghost Eagle King hovering in mid-air also let out a roar, and then opened the bloody mouth that almost spanned the entire skull, and spewed out a black air mass towards Shen Xiaolang.
However, at the moment when the black air mass shot out from the Ghost Head Eagle King's beak, Shen Xiaolang also violently swung the machete entwined with countless orange lightning bolts, causing him to slash into the air with all his might.
I could only hear a "bang!", and the machete in Shen Xiaolang's hand suddenly exploded! Immediately, the fragments scattered everywhere turned into an orange lightning bolt that was five meters long and shot into the black air mass of the Ghost Eagle King.
"Boom, boom, boom......" As an explosion sounded, dozens of golden lights suddenly emitted from the black air mass, and finally turned into a pungent black smoke containing a pungent smell under the continuous expansion.
But it didn't take long for the black smoke full of toxins to spread rapidly throughout the valley. Everywhere the black poisonous smoke went, even the rough and thick stone walls around it were corroded into a huge oval shallow pit.
"It's not good! The poisonous smoke has dispersed!" Seeing this, Shen Xiaolang hurriedly opened the Yin-Yang Vajra Umbrella behind him, trying to resist the invasion of the poisonous smoke with the indestructible characteristics of the Yin-Yang Umbrella.
But at the moment when he opened the parachute, the Ghost Eagle King hidden in the poisonous smoke took the opportunity to swoop down and slammed into the umbrella surface of the parachute. I only heard a sound of "Bang!", and this supposedly indestructible high-grade magic weapon was actually knocked out of a gap!
"Poof!" In the midst of the tumbling of qi and blood, Shen Xiaolang, who was knocked upside down by the Ghost Head Eagle King, spurted out a mouthful of blood and sprinkled it in the air.
"Woooo
Of course, it is not only Shen Xiaolang who is receiving this treatment. In the valley, the remaining ghost-headed eagles, who were more numerous than outside the valley, turned their attention to Ding Xiaofan and the doctor, who were standing motionless in the corner and staring blankly.
Here, in the huge cemetery about fifteen meters away from the valley, Shen Xiaolang's Dharma Weapon desperately resisted the siege of the Ghost Eagle Group and the Ghost Eagle King. On the other side, in the face of the attack of the remaining group of ghost-headed eagles, the doctor had four more scalpels in his hands.
Turning the scene back to the gloomy dungeon, in the midst of Ding Xiaofan's heartbeat, the coffin lid of the gray bone coffin erected in front of him fell down with a bang.
However, what came out of the coffin was not a terrifying ghost, but a classical beauty wearing a bright red Hanfu with excellent looks and figure.
In addition, next to this classical beauty, there is a little boy about eight years old wearing a dark blue python robe. No matter how you look at it, you can't confuse these two well-dressed "people" with terms like supernatural or ghostly.
"Enjoy the autumn breeze blowing the willows, and the cold moon is like frost filling the golden building. Drink as much wine as you give a cup, and hide it in the bone coffin. It's been more than a thousand years, and today Ru Yan and Min Er can finally see the general again. Standing in front of Ding Xiaofan, the tone of the beautiful woman in ancient costume was full of grievances.
"Well, I'm afraid you recognized the wrong person. I just accidentally got separated from my friends, and I've never acted, let alone an actor. Hearing this, Ding Xiaofan, who thought that he had mistakenly broken into the set of a costume drama, hurriedly explained.
But at this moment, he suddenly found that there was a jade plaque engraved with a single character on the little boy's waist.
"Qi, and you just called him Min'er! Are you ......" Thinking of this, Ding Xiaofan looked at the little boy standing next to the classical beauty with a frightened expression.
"Sure enough, after a thousand years, you have long forgotten my mother and me, my respected father. No, it should be the nineteenth reincarnation of my father, Ding Xiaofan!" As soon as the little boy's voice fell, everything around him began to change rapidly.
I saw that the originally gloomy dungeon was transformed into a luxurious palace. Subsequently, all the female corpses tied to the cross or hung on the top of the cell were transformed into palace maids dressed in Hanfu.
Immediately after, the little boy's body flickered, turning into a middle-aged zombie with dark green slime flowing all over his body, his clothes and muscles were severely rotten, and he was skinny and hideous. That's right, this little boy is the Nine Yin Corpse who should have been turned to ashes.
As for the classical beauty dressed in Han clothes just now, she has turned into a terrifying female ghost with a face full of furrows, bleeding from seven orifices, long hair stained with dark red blood stains floating around, and spitting green smoke from her mouth.
Of course, after becoming a female ghost, the Hanfu on her body also became tattered. In addition to her clothes, from her deep eye sockets, you can see fear, panic, unwillingness, grievance, madness, darkness, hatred, hatred, anger.... and all other negative emotions.
"Enjoy the autumn breeze blowing the willows, and the cold moon is like frost filling the golden building. Drink as much wine as you give a cup, and hide it in the bone coffin. While repeating this nameless poem, the female ghost in red approached Ding Xiaofan with the Nine Yin Corpse Demon and the expressionless palace maids around her.
However, in the face of the encirclement of ghosts, Ding Xiaofan could not sense the demonic power in his body at all at this time. So in this way, in order to save his life, Ding Xiaofan, who had lost his demonic power, could only desperately run in the direction behind him.
At the same time, in the giant cemetery, Shen Xiaolang, who was already covered in bruises, was still struggling to resist the fierce attack of the ghost eagle group with the yin and yang umbrella in his hand. And as time went by, before I knew it, it was already nine o'clock in the morning, and it was getting closer and closer to Zhang Tianlin's poisonous death.
