Chapter Seventy-Three: Half-Moon Soul
PS: I suddenly found out that there was a missing chapter between chapter seventy-three and chapter seventy-four, so this chapter is called chapter seventy-three and a half......
The blood went into the water, and it didn't make much waves.
After all, if it is tightly a drop of crimson liquid, how many things can it carry?
The river quickly swallowed it up, then covered it up, diluted it, and it was as if nothing had happened.
Xue Zicheng was already very close to the north shore, and after the blood was diluted, it would be washed to the north shore more or less, but it was almost minimal.
Micro, but it does not mean that there is none, and in this world, most things can be accumulated in small amounts.
Xue Zicheng was ready to accumulate a lot, so he didn't hold down the wound, but let the blood continue to drip down.
One, two, three......
Li Chuanchuan saw Xue Zicheng's movements, but he didn't look surprised, but his eyes showed a little hot.
Xue Zicheng's expression was indifferent, his bleeding wrist was drooping low, and there was no superfluous movement.
Ten drops later, they were closer to Huan Wen's fleet, and they could already see the figure of the person on the other side.
Huan Wen was sitting at the bow of the boat, and he was also looking at Xue Zicheng at this time.
But Huan Wen had a glass of wine in his hand, so he didn't look nervous, but instead blew the night breeze and looked a little lazy.
There is a fishy smell in the air, which comes from the water, and it is a fishy smell. The fishy sweet smell of blood is also integrated into it, but it is already difficult to distinguish.
People can't tell the difference, but that doesn't mean the ghost can't tell the difference.
The ghostly aura that permeated everywhere and grew thicker and thicker, after the first drop of blood fell. It was already perceived, and even frightened and confused. Especially those ghost qi that were extremely close to the blood, they had already screamed and dispersed.
Very few people can hear such a cry. It was a very complex sound that seemed to be in the ear, and it seemed to have passed through many obstacles.
The black aura that spread on the river was disrupted at this time, and the place where the blood dripped formed a place similar to a hole in the ozone layer, and there was no longer any condensation of ghost qi around, so as to avoid it.
If the blood is not controlled. Naturally, it will be diluted by the rapids of the Yangtze River and washed downstream.
However, Xue Zicheng's blood is not ordinary blood after all. It followed the boat, forming a circle beside it. A circle that all ghosts can't enter.
This is like the circle that Sun Wukong drew for Tang Seng, and the more blood drops, the larger the circle becomes.
The ghost screams became more and more harsh and unpleasant, reaching Xie Xiaoman's ears in the distance. Made her frown.
Huan Wen looked at the darkness around him. Touching the handle of the knife, the rough feeling made him feel at ease.
He was not good at water, but now he is on water.
But his uneasiness is never visible.
Xue Zicheng knew, so he kept looking at Huan Wen's direction, and the blood flowed down his arm and continued to fall slowly.
Scarlet. It's beautiful.
Huan Wen and Xue Zicheng are the same kind of people at this level. Because of them. All think so.
It's a pity that there is no red glow today, otherwise it should be with the red cliff, and it will definitely be more beautiful.
Huan Wen thought so, sighed, and led the wine into his arms.
The more blood flowed, the larger the circle became, like a vacuum cleaner, blowing away all the black ash around it.
If someone looks at the surface of the water from the water, and their eyes are good enough, they can see that under the boat that Xue Zicheng is riding, there is a handful of crimson.
It was the blood that flowed from him, controlled by his mind, and let it gather under his feet to cleanse everything around him.
The circle had already opened very large, almost encircling the entire small fleet of Huan Wen, so Xue Zicheng's face turned slightly pale.
However, Xue Zicheng was not in a hurry, because Huan Wen was already close.
He could already clearly see Huan Wen's expression.
Huan Wen's expression was very calm, so Xue Zicheng knew that it seemed that the conversation was very good.
"Lord Xue."
The waves of the river churned, which was somewhat unexpected by Xue Zicheng, so his body followed the crooked nature of the boat, and was supported by Li Chuanchuan next to him.
Xue Zicheng smiled slightly and nodded at him.
He probed his psychic sense underwater, and when he felt what was underneath, he had a look of laughter and tears on his face.
The source of this wave was not a ghost, but a huge fish. And this fish seems to have been attracted by the bloody gas that he fell into the water.
Xue Zicheng felt a little funny, drove away the evil ghosts, and came to the giant big fish, this thing is really ridiculous.
He didn't have the idea of letting the big fish swallow his own blood, not to mention that the ghost qi on the river had already taken shape, if the blood dissipated, the small fleet that Huan Wen was in would have no protection. And, after all, the blood that flows out of itself, where will it be swallowed by the fish at will?
It's just that Xue Zicheng feels this behemoth...... It's just too big.
Things are a little tricky.
"Let General Huan try to be as fast as possible, it's a bit of an unexpected situation." Xue Zicheng said.
Li Chuanchuan's eyes shrank, and he hurriedly agreed, ran to find the person waving the flag, and conveyed the order.
The other party also waved the flag to indicate that it had been received.
The small fleet began to speed up the crossing of the river, but even they could already feel the wind and waves under their feet, and the march began to become difficult.
And Xue Zicheng's end, he felt the approach of the big fish, and directly led the blood and water away, and the big fish chased after him.
In order to ensure that the entire small fleet was shrouded in a protective circle, he had no way to let the blood water leave too much, otherwise the ghost qi would climb back into the fleet and entangle the lives of the soldiers.
So he could only guide the blood water to circle in a small range, but he didn't expect that the big fish would not give up, and it also turned quickly.
The blood water is a very small handful, but the big fish is a behemoth, and as it rotates, a whirlpool in the water gradually forms.
The helmsmen in the center of the fleet felt more and more difficult to march, and they couldn't help but look at each other for a while. I thought there should be no undercurrents here.
Xue Zicheng frowned, didn't dare to spin more, and hurriedly guided the blood to the side.
The circles that were drawn down fluttered with it. However, in an instant, the right flank of the small fleet broke away from the protective circle, and the ghostly aura permeated again.
This time, the ghost qi had already formed a sufficient concentration, and it diffused extremely quickly.
They quickly climbed into the boat, and fiercely wrapped around the soldiers' legs and arms, and dragged them into the water with a fierce wrench.
There was a pop of water. The soldier's screams attracted the attention of the people around him.
At first, I thought it was a soldier who had fallen into the water by mistake, but it was very fast. This kind of falling water comes and goes, and as people breathe, people are constantly being dragged into the water by invisible objects.
Such a sight is in the eyes of ordinary people who can't see ghosts. It's even more terrifying.
In their opinion. All these people who fell into the water were like falling into the water, and they jumped into the water by themselves for no apparent reason.
It stands to reason that there are very few southerners who can't water, and even if they accidentally fall into the water, they can completely save themselves. But this time, not only did none of these people who fell into the water climb back onto the boat. I even forgot how to swim in the water, except for waving my arms and kicking my legs as if I was struggling. There was no other action.
Seeing this, some comrades within the circle hurriedly jumped into the water to rescue, but once their bodies touched outside the circle, they would also be entangled by countless unjust souls and water ghosts, and they would no longer be able to make white stripes in the waves.
For a time, the aura of fear permeated the entire fleet.
The sound of falling water and screams one after another, and those who seemed to have been grabbed by something in their legs and sank straight into the river and never came back again.
The soldiers began to panic, and no matter how much the commander shouted "quiet", the surroundings could no longer be quiet.
Huan Wen looked at all this, didn't speak, just looked at Xue Zicheng again.
Xue Zicheng's face was pale, and he tried his best to control the speed of the blood water, making it move quickly to the edge of the small fleet, and then let the blood water rush out of the water at a distance that he estimated was safe.
The big fish jumped out of the bloody water, and its terrifying huge body rushed out of the water, exposing itself to everyone's eyes.
It was a huge, unsightly strange fish with a catfish head and long whiskers about ten feet long on both sides, and when it jumped out, it kept fluttering around its gills.
It is white all over, and its scales are extremely thick and large, each the size of a fishing boat.
Its eyes were blue-black, unremarkable, and even somewhat dry, no different from the eyes of a dead fish, except that they were shockingly large.
is such a fish, attracted by Xue Zicheng's blood and water, and came here.
Xue Zicheng had already sensed that the soldiers on the other side were entangled by water ghosts, and he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly moved the blood to the center of the air, and once again shrouded the entire fleet in a circle.
The big fish jumped out, as high as a huge mountain, but still did not show its tail.
The eyes of the people were taken away from it for a while, and they were speechless in horror.
The water droplets on the big fish fell like a downpour. The moonlight finally broke through the dense dark clouds at this time and quietly appeared, shining the scales on the big fish more and more beautifully, but at the same time more and more terrifying.
The eyes of the big fish followed the direction of the blood, and at this time, Xue Zicheng moved it away, and the eyes of the big fish slowly moved to the center of the fleet.
At that moment, everyone almost looked at those dry and lifeless eyes, and their hearts were awe-inspiring.
The big fish opened its mouth, its whiskers moved slightly, and finally fell quietly back to the surface.
The surface of the water was startled by this rise and fall, and the waves were several feet high.
"Turn the ship's bow!"
The general's pupils were extremely narrow, and he ordered that if one was not careful, the entire small fleet would probably be swallowed to the bottom of the river by this round of huge waves!
"I didn't expect to be able to see the Moon Soul Fish here."
Looking at the lively summer flowers on the south bank, I smiled and sighed.
Xie Xiaoman's face was slightly pale, and at this time, he suddenly made a move, grabbed Xia Hua's arm, and looked resolute: "You can save them, right?" ”
Xia Hua was obviously stunned, with a puzzled expression on her face: "Why do you want to save them?" I don't recognize them, and as far as I know, you shouldn't. ”
"But it's all life!" Xie Xiaoman's heart was anxious, and his hand strength gradually increased. She stared into Xia Hua's eyes, "If you want me to believe you, you save them." (To be continued......)
