Chapter 52: The Consequences of Becoming Stronger
It's obviously too late to come to my senses now.
Behind my ears, I suddenly felt a chill approaching, and whether I continued to approach and find a move, or immediately distanced, I didn't dare to guarantee that I would be able to retreat.
Because, at this time, the sharp coldness is gently sticking to my neck.
I squinted at the little cripple with an expressionless face, who was now facing the black mud, his face was gloomy, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"Lord Bai, this corpse demon is very good, and I can open my eyes this time!" the little cripple said eerily when he was less than half an arm's length away from me.
I expected his tone to be extremely serious and threatening, but this is the most infuriating thing!
What came to my ears was hazy, as if it were separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
I gradually had a fact in my heart that I didn't want to accept and face.
"Oh, I'm pretty good at mice, do you want to see it too?" I replied
"Mouse?"
"Hmm!" I nodded slightly, "especially a wolf-hearted, ungrateful wild rat like you!"
The little cripple was not provoked, but sneered, and his other free hand reached into his arms to pick up something.
In a moment, a familiar silver nail engraved with blood-soaked cinnabar and incantation came into view.
"You're the one hiding in the woods and sneaking up on you?" I squinted at him.
The little cripple played with the spike in his hand: "The adult thinks too highly of me, how can the villain have that guts." ”
I sneered, "Of course you have, and you also controlled the enchantment that trapped me just now, right?"
The little cripple was noncommittal: "Didn't the adults escape too?"
The fire in my heart was just a trick on him, and I didn't expect the little cripple to admit it so frankly.
"Where's Yexun?" I asked him in a deep voice.
The little cripple didn't speak, the spike in his hand lifted my chin, and looked left and right as if his eyes weren't quite good.
If it weren't for the long nail at the back of my neck that trapped me, I would have punched him in the head with this unfortunate appearance of a little lame.
The little cripple opened his mouth, but there was no movement, no sound.
My face was full of question marks: "Ah? wait, you just ——?."
The end of the sentence was still stuck in my mouth, and a flash of blue light flashed behind my ear, grazing my cheek tightly, bringing a hot pain.
A hazy and terrible scream immediately sounded beside me, and the little cripple who was standing next to me had now been nailed to the trunk of a tree not far in front of him with a long sword through the palm of his hand.
It's -
"Yexun!?" I turned my face back in surprise, and a familiar figure of moon white suddenly appeared in my eyes.
Yexun frowned slightly, flew up, and when he approached me, his long arms bent, and naturally wrapped his arms around my waist.
His cold breath enveloped me faintly, and a familiar and stable feeling hit my heart.
The little cripple had passed out in pain, and the sword was firmly nailed to the tree, and the scarlet blood ran down the palm of the little cripple's hand and wet half of his arm.
Yexun just glanced at me with a very contemptuous squint, and then he didn't care whether the little cripple lived or died, he looked down at me, and his thin lips opened and closed several times.
He stared at me intently all the time, and suddenly made my cheeks a little hot.
I blinked and looked at Yexun for a long time, but I didn't understand the lip language: "Ah, what did you just say?"
Ye Xun was stunned, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he stared at me with a confused expression, and for a moment, he seemed to repeat Fang Cai's words again.
I still can't hear it!
It seems that this situation only appeared after I summoned the heavenly thunder, and I could recall the sound that shook the sky behind the dazzling white light.
That is undoubtedly the strongest spell I have ever summoned and used in these hundreds of years of impermanence.
An indisputable fact is shining in front of me - I have become stronger and deaf!
Facing Yexun's puzzled look, I could only smile embarrassedly, then pointed to my ear and waved my hand to signal that I couldn't hear him.
I watched as the sparkle in his eyes darkened, and I was thinking about how to relieve the not-so-cheerful atmosphere.
But he suddenly let go of me, jumped backwards, and shouted at me, "Are you alright?"
The sound was as far away as a thousand mountains and rivers, but fortunately I could hear it.
I sincerely admire it in my heart, it is worthy of Yexun, and the ability to adapt to changes really makes the ghost out of reach.
I was very happy, and immediately clapped my hands and gave a thumbs up to Yexun, and also opened my voice and replied: "Okay!"
He nodded knowingly, and shouted again, "Why are you dying?"
Me: "......"
Some are dead, but she is still alive.
The little cripple was tied up by Yexun with a rope embedded with rune paper, just because he was afraid that he would summon some ghosts to save him.
I can't see it in the past, who would have thought that the cowardly and fearful, submissive and slaughtered little cripple would be like this?
Out of the forest, the genius had just turned the white of the fish's belly, and the fresh and refreshing cool breeze blew lightly.
Since I couldn't hear, it became much more difficult for me to talk to Yexun, but it was not a solution to always talk as if I were shouting and scolding the street.
On the way back to the city, the conversation between the two of us basically relied on magic to transmit sound.
The thunder summoned by my brain this time, the powerful power is really affecting my own soul body, and there is no other way to do this injury to my ears except to be good and nourishing.
The huge imperial city was close at hand, and it was supposed that this should be the time when the townspeople were rushing to the morning market, but we were all about to enter the city, and we didn't see many pedestrians.
I don't know if it's because the sky is not bright or what, the auspicious clouds and rui qi that are thick on the main hall of the palace are also a lot weaker.
The entire imperial city was not as bright and majestic as it used to be, but was locked in by a dull air of decay.
I was terrified: "How can a city become like this so quickly in the middle of the night?"
Ye Xun stood aside with his hands folded, and replied calmly: "But this is a good indication that we didn't just stay in the mass grave for one night!"
This guy is a good guy who misses the point!
Me: "So what do we do now? Go back?"
Yexun nodded: "I think I can!"
Sure enough, as soon as we entered the city, there was not a single mosquito on the streets, let alone people, and the doors of every house were closed, and the city was silent.
During the time we were away, something terrible must have happened in the Imperial City, or maybe the little emperor who was stunned had done something to come out.
Although I don't know the cause of the events that led to this situation, I am sure that if it is carried out as it is now, the foundation that the little emperor and his father have worked so hard to lay will definitely be lost in his hands!
We rushed back to the inn to check on the situation, and since I am now a ghost, I will be more sensitive to the aura of the same kind around me.
Just now, before I landed in the sky above the post station, I suddenly felt a palpitation, and the ghost death qi that was so familiar in the past that I could no longer be familiar with it was rushing out of the post station at this time.
I glanced at Yexun complicatedly, and he obviously understood, and sent a solemn voice to me: "Do you want to go down and watch?"
I didn't answer him, and floated straight towards the small courtyard of the post house at my feet, even though we already knew that there was no one alive in this post house.
