Chapter 336: It shouldn't be our acquaintance
"Say, what the hell is that guy set up here?" asked Ming Chuan as he held up his flashlight and shone it above his head. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's hard to say. Gao Shanjing's mouth always had a light smile on his lips, even in this harsh environment, his face always maintained a comfortable look.
Of course, Ming Chuan didn't expect Gao Shanjing to answer his question, he just felt that if he didn't say anything in this environment, the silence around him would make people feel weak in their hearts.
"I've heard others say that the 'Kaguya Mage' has set up formations to absorb ghost qi elsewhere. Mingchuan deliberately withheld Takayama Kaguya's name. He didn't want to mention this matter in front of Gao Shanjing, but he felt that there might be something related to it. He wasn't familiar with the formation, so he couldn't think of any connection, but Gao Shan Jing was different, he grew up in a family of exorcists, he had been exposed to these things since he was a child, and he might be able to think of something.
Gao Shanjing raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said in a strange tone, "Who are you listening to?"
"A friend who knows the circle. Ming Chuan replied casually, without looking at Gao Shan Jing when he spoke, he didn't seem to care about this question, he looked at both sides with a flashlight, and then said, "I'm wondering, what exactly does that 'Kaguya Mage' need to gather ghost qi for?"
"There are only two purposes for gathering ghost energy. Gao Shan Jing looked at Mingchuan's background, his eyelids drooped slightly, and replied softly, "One is to reserve energy, and the other is to feed some kind of evil thing." ”
"Feed the evil creatures, do you mean creatures like the demons that live on ghosts?"
"Pretty much. Takayama said with a smile, "But ordinary demons don't need such a large amount of ghost energy for food. ”
"Hmm. Mingchuan nodded. Ying Lan eats a lot, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't eat for a long time, he doesn't need to collect ghost qi to feed him. As for the other demons, he hadn't seen Jing Hong eat yet, so he must be in a similar state to Ying Lan.
That's why this guy uses the word "evil"?
This explanation of feeding is easy to understand, but what about the "reserve energy" above? Is the energy of the ghost energy used for other purposes?
Just as he was thinking, Gao Shanjing, who was walking beside him, suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" asked Ming Chuan, turning his head in confusion.
"There's something ahead. Gao Shanjing raised his hand and pointed straight ahead.
Hearing this, Ming Chuan turned around and shone a flashlight forward, but he didn't see anything except the oddly shaped rock.
The dark rocks looked very strange in the light, and the shadows of the darkness swayed in the light, as if they had life, and it seemed as if they were going to pounce on them at any moment.
The sound of the water continued in their ears, and at this time there seemed to be something else mixed in with the rushing water, not far from them, and it was approaching them little by little.
Ming Chuan held his breath and listened to the faint movement not far away.
"What is it?" Ming Chuan frowned.
"I don't know. Gao Shan Jing shook his head, "It doesn't feel like a ghost." ”
"I don't think it's our acquaintances. Ming Chuan hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled at Gao Shanjing, and then, taking out the net bell from his trouser pocket, ready to meet the enemy.
Gao Shan Jing also took out the rune paper.
The voice grew closer to them, becoming distinct. It sounds like someone is hobbling around with a heavy object.
Ming Chuan pointed the flashlight straight ahead.
In the depths of the passage of the cave, a humanoid figure appeared, and it was difficult to see the appearance from a distance.
The other party's feet seemed to be injured, and he walked in a strange way, dragging one leg and moving slowly, and it was very difficult to walk. In the light of the flashlight, a long shadow dragged behind the man, swaying slightly, swaying closer and closer to the two of them.
Is there a entity? This guy is not a ghost.
Ming Chuan and Takayama Jing glanced at each other, and at the same time saw the same doubt in each other's eyes.
The two of them were on guard.
When the other party came close to them about ten paces or so, they stopped.
Ming Chuan noticed that while walking forward, the guy's head was always twisted backwards, showing only one side face to the two of them. And even this side face is covered by the other party's messy long hair, and you can't see "his" appearance at all.
The clothes on the other party's body were also tattered and dirty, as if they had rolled dozens of times in the mud, and they couldn't see the style and color at all. It looks like it's not so much a pile of clothes as a pile of rags wrapped around it.
The other party stood in front of them, his steps seemed to be fixed, but his upper body twitched from time to time, which looked very strange.
Ming Chuan cautiously took a step forward.
The other party didn't move, but it blocked the way of the two of them, and if they wanted to continue moving forward, they had to bypass that thing, otherwise they had to turn back.
Ming Chuan didn't plan to turn back, although he didn't ask, he was also very sure that Gao Shanjing's thoughts should be the same as his.
He took a cautious step forward, and when his footsteps landed, he stepped on a puddle of stagnant water, making a soft "pop" sound.
The figure in front of him heard the voice, and as if he had been stimulated by something, he suddenly twisted his neck and looked head-on in the direction of Mingchuan and Takayama Jing.
It was only then that the two of them saw each other's appearances clearly, and they couldn't help but be shocked.
The face of the person on the other side was completely devoid of facial skin, and the muscles of his face were completely bare, and a trace of muscle texture could be seen in the light of the flashlight. His eyes were round without eyelids, his pupils were gray, and his eyeballs were covered with pus-yellow discharge. In the mouth without lips, two rows of black sharp teeth appeared, and it looked less like a human than a beast.
"Ghoul?" Ming Chuan immediately understood the identity of the other party.
"Ghouls?" Gao Shan Jing obviously hadn't heard of this term, and looked at Ming Chuan with some confusion.
However, before Ming Chuan could explain, the other party heard their voices and rushed towards them.
Seeing this, the two immediately retreated, and at the same time raised the net bell and rune paper in their hands.
Takayama was about to throw the rune paper at the other party, but the ghoul suddenly changed direction and pounced on the wall on the right, and then ran along the wall with all fours, and flew down on their heads like a beast from the side.
The opponent's speed was too fast, and the two had no time to fight back, so they had to avoid it.
However, this passage was very narrow, and as soon as Takayama jumped to the left, Ming Chuan could only fall forward, and then rolled on the spot, distancing himself from the ghoul. (To be continued.) )
