Chapter 339: The Trap
The man didn't seem to feel the phosphorus fire that had hit him, but was startled by the sight of the white bones under the cloak, and with an exclamation of "oops", he threw the cloak in his hand to the side, and the man staggered back several steps.
Suddenly, the pile of bones moved.
As if an invisible child was building blocks, the roots stood up, connected to each other, and soon formed into a humanoid skeleton.
The man was obviously frightened, and turned to run, but suddenly he grabbed his throat with one hand, and scratched his body with the other hand, as if it were itching all over his body. And his feet were as if they were nailed to the ground.
The skeleton walked slowly towards him, rattling as if it was going to fall apart at any moment.
Walking up to the man, the skeleton reached out and gently grabbed the man's cloak, lifted it up, and ripped it off, revealing the man's frightened and stiff face.
The skeleton threw the cloak to the side and hugged the man tightly with open arms.
In the middle of the night, in a dark alley with no street lights and few pedestrians, a big living person was suddenly hugged by a skeleton, and their posture was like that of brothers who had been reunited after a long absence.
How weird and absurd this picture is.
At this time, the skin on the living man's face was rapidly drying up, and the muscles were shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye, as if something was rapidly draining his flesh.
Immediately afterwards, the man's clothes began to rot, and piece by piece fell off his body, and when they fell to the ground, they turned into a mass of ashes.
His body was crawling with glowing phosphorous fire, like a swarm of blue ghost insects.
A dark soul rose from the roof of his building, trying to escape from his decaying body.
As soon as the skeleton raised its hand, a large number of phosphorus fires flew over, quickly devouring the wisp of the ghost.
The phosphorus fire suddenly flourished, and the man's soul was tormented in the flames.
Qi Hufei could see that the skeleton was using the Soul Searching Dafa.
Soon, the soul dissipated in the spiritual fire, turning into many small bright spots that also emitted blue light.
With a flick of the skeleton's fingers, the phosphorus fire in the air returned to his hand.
And the person he was holding had already been ruined.
Now the hugging one has become two skeletons.
The phosphophophopho insects, like moving ants, crawled from one skeleton to another.
Qi Feifei's scalp was numb when he saw it, and goosebumps stood all over his body.
He knew that the target of the skeleton was originally himself, and he used the Soul Searching Dafa to know nothing more than to know the whereabouts of the Qilin and his identity.
Now this unlucky guy is making his own substitute for the dead.
Qi Hufei remembered the words that the old man often warned when he was a child in his previous life:
"You can't be greedy, don't pick up things on the road."
The skeleton glowed green and let go of its hand.
The other skeleton collapsed and fell to the ground with a clatter, turning into a messy pile of bones.
The skeleton didn't look at it, turned around and left.
Looking at his current appearance, except that he has no flesh and skin on his body, he walks like a living person, and he doesn't look like he was about to fall apart at any time at the beginning.
Qi Fei guessed that the life force of the skeleton came from those glowing green things, which was probably the result of the change of the human soul.
The skeleton as a whole resembles a living walking soul refining banner.
It absorbs and refines human souls, and these souls need to survive by sucking human flesh, and after sucking human flesh, they will merge into new souls. In this cycle, the skeleton will become more and more powerful, but it will also need to suck more and more flesh, and eventually become a demon that lives by cannibalism every day.
Judging from the whole process of his sneak attack just now, Qi Hufei felt that if he was replaced by himself, he would not be absolutely sure that he would be able to dodge.
Soul attacks are completely different from physical attacks, it affects your mind first, as long as you don't prevent it at the first time, your mind is shaken, and it will be difficult to resist next.
Although Qi Hufei has a "strong night" and can fight against the erosion of the mind by the demonic path, he can only recite the spell when he is prepared.
And the trap designed by the other party happens to take advantage of people's greed.
When you go to pick up the cloak, at that moment, your heart will be filled with the joy of gaining a windfall, and when your righteousness is the most relaxed, you are also the most vulnerable to demonic energy.
Therefore, practitioners also pay attention to the cultivation of the mind.
If it was a head-on confrontation, Qi Hufei was not very afraid of this skeleton.
The other party's soul power is strong, and there may be some spells that are unguardable, but one thing is certain, he doesn't have any magic weapons on him, and there is an empty skeleton under the cloak.
The skeleton walked to the side, picked up the square cloak on the ground, put it on its body, changed back to its original form, and walked out of the alley.
Walking to the place where he met Qi Hufei just now, he stopped, looked left and right, and then walked to the back, that is, the direction Qi Hufei left.
After turning a corner, he stopped to take a look, probably not sure which way Qi Hu was flying, so he slammed his body, and his body collapsed again, leaving only a square cloak floating to the ground.
Qi Hufei took a look, I wiped it, and I want to do it again?
This is an iron determination to kill Lao Tzu!
Qi Hufei was silent, thinking in his heart what to do next.
Do you want to do a counter-sneak attack on the sneak attackers?
Beneath that cloak was nothing more than a pile of bones and many refined spirits.
The easiest way to do this is to burn it with a samadhi fire.
But Qi Hufei didn't dare to use the Samadhi True Fire Technique he learned from "Introduction to Taoism", and Wujizi also said that it was not the real Samadhi True Fire.
However, he has the Chengying Sword in his hand, plus "Xi Ti Ruo", he can also cause enough damage to these ghosts, and if he goes down with a sword, it is estimated that this skeleton will lose at least half of the "blood", and it will take time for it to stand up and fight back, enough for Qi Hufei to cut two or three swords, even if he can't be killed, Qi Hufei is in a state of stealth, and he is not afraid of him at all.
But if you kill this guy now, you won't get any benefits, and it feels a bit uneconomical.
So he waited on the side, and opened the dragon again to see the dragon in the field.
This time, however, he noticed that the cloak glow on the ground had turned to its normal purple, and there was no blue light at all.
Well, did you really run away this time?
Or is it a different routine?
Qi Hufei still didn't move.
He really wanted to see what the other party would do when the hour was up.
After a few more moments, he suddenly felt something strange in his vision. Looking towards the cloak, he noticed a faint blue light underneath the cloak.
Coming back?
It seems that he really knows how to escape from the ground.
Could it be that the banknotes have also been brought back from the ground?
But instead of standing up as he had imagined, the skeleton lay there motionless.
After waiting for a while, I heard footsteps, and a man came in from the mouth of the alley, looked around, and suddenly saw the cloak on the ground and hurried over.
The man was not wearing a cloak, he was small, and he was carrying a bag in his hand, bulging, and he didn't know what to put it.
He looked at the cloak on the ground and said to himself, "Yes, yes, this is it." ”
Then he put the bag in his hand on the ground and said a little loudly: "I put the things here, and I said that the cloak belongs to me, can I take it?!" ”
After saying that, he picked up the cloak.
