Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Game Begins
After Gan Lei pointed out Chen Huai's intentions, the sky was already completely dark, the dark sky and the bright moon hung alone, and just a cloud blocked the bright moon, and the night sky, which was already not bright, was a little darker.
Outside the pitch-black courtyard, there seemed to be shadows that were imperceptible to the naked eye and were constantly approaching Chen Huai's small courtyard.
"What's that?"
Gan Lei's spiritual vision was opened, and a pair of clear eyes were now full of breathtaking light.
After the shadow quickly approached, he did not break into the small courtyard, but stopped outside the courtyard gate. Half of the moon peeked out of the clouds, as if there was a faint line of sight shining into the courtyard along the crack in the door with a bit of moonlight.
"Crunch ......"
The door of the courtyard opened on its own, and there was nothing behind the door, not a person or a shadow. It's just that the 'squeak' sound of the old door frame separating from the gate in my ears, and the door that opens on its own will not deceive.
The white paper lantern in front of the door was crumbling, and the lantern was a little more pale, and the street in front of the door was still empty, as if it did not match what Chen Huai had said about the villagers' activities in the middle of the night.
"There's something different!"
It was the 'passerby' who spoke.
"Look at the white silk on the doorknob of the gate, we didn't have that thing when we came, Chen Huai has always been in our sight, it can't be him, the old woman left before us, and my spiritual sense didn't feel the other people, when did this white silk tie up?"
Although Chen Huai seemed to know some of the inside stories of the village, but seeing that he was almost stupid now, Gan Lei felt that there was no need to count on getting useful information from his mouth.
I can even vaguely see that Chen Huai's pants have some yellow water stains, it's really strange, such a coward dares to stay in the village just because he covets a golden treasure that he doesn't know what it is?
"They're in!"
is still a 'passerby' senior brother, Gan Lei, as an onmyoji who has been dealing with ghosts and monsters when he was in Dongying, is not as fast as this senior brother, Gan Lei thinks about it, and defaults to the gap in cultivation.
The gate of the courtyard is open, and as far as the eye can see, there are only empty streets and white paper lanterns that emit a seeping white light, and there is obviously no one else in the courtyard, where are the 'they' that the senior brother said?
"Be careful, at your feet."
As soon as the senior brother's words fell, a cold strange wind blew. The sporadic fires in the doorway were on the verge of extinguishing. And the door seemed to be opened without warning before, and after being reminded by the senior brother, it closed without warning.
"Is this a fear that we are afraid?"
Gan Lei chuckled, and a spell slammed into the ground behind him.
Three figures came out of the shadows under the feet of Gan Lei, Chen Huai, and Senior Brother Wang Yulin.
These monsters are not the same as the ghosts in Gan Lei's cognition, these monsters are all pitch black, making people completely unable to see inside, the skeleton seems to be very large, but the body proportions are very strange, the head is very large, most of the body is hidden in the dark, and the whole body exudes a strong vicious atmosphere.
Their heads seemed to be very heavy, so they had to press their heads against their chests, keep their heads down, and move forward more like floating, but they were always connected to shadows, partly in the shadows of a few people, and partly in the shadows of the courtyard walls.
The messy hair completely covered his face, and the clothes on his body were not recognizable, but they could be seen to be very shabby and stained with blood, and there was an unpleasant smell all over his body.
"The level of strength is equivalent to the high level of the spirit priest, junior brother, be careful."
The voice of the 'passerby' senior brother reminding me came to my ears.
Gan Lei nodded and signaled that he knew, if he just said the level of strength, the senior brother himself could solve these monsters effortlessly, but on the one hand, this time the next book has the meaning of training for Gan Lei, and on the other hand, ghosts generally have unique weird magical powers, even if it is a high-ranking 'passerby' senior brother, he does not dare to guarantee that Gan Lei's safety will be guaranteed.
Chen Huai's legs trembled violently, and one hand grabbed Gan Lei's sleeve tightly. From the sleeve where he was caught, Gan Lei clearly felt that Chen Huai's body was trembling, and he was holding it very tightly, like a person in the water grabbing the only thing in his hand.
The monster in the shadow behind Gan Lei seemed to be a little angry when he was hit by this spell, and let out a lifelong roar of "Ah....., and he could attack at any time.
Senior Brother 'Passerby' stretched out two fingers to point at himself, and one finger pointed at Gan Lei. This is the goal of the assigned battle, and the skinniest of the three monsters is the one left by the senior brother to Gan Lei.
Gan Lei looked at Chen Huai, who was holding his sleeve tightly, and estimated that he would not let go no matter what he said now, so Gan Lei hit Chen Huai's neck with his other hand and threw him under the wall on the side.
The battle was on the verge of breaking out when the senior brother pinched the trick in one hand.
Chen Huai sat paralyzed in the corner of the wall on the other side, and at this moment he should be glad that he had fainted, because there was a pair of indifferent eyes faintly watching him on the wall.
The strength of these monsters is not strong, but it is difficult to entangle, and Gan Lei's condensation of qi and blood plus the bonus of spells did not cause much damage to them. Or rather, the monster didn't show how much damage it had taken again.
When Gan Lei was fighting with the monsters on this side, the senior brother's side was almost about to settle the battle. After all, it's a higher-level abuse, and even if this monster's defense is full, it's just a meatier live target.
But Gan Lei's side was caught in a bitter battle.
It's just an instantaneous outburst, and if you can't seriously injure this monster, you can only charge up for a move with more firepower!
"Bang!"
After the spell energy was thrown out, it smashed directly into the monster's face, and the entire monster's body smashed straight into the room behind the monster, and the wooden window frame was shattered by the monster's hard body collision, and the dust in the hut was scattered in an instant.
The monster didn't fly out directly, but it was silent, as if it had disappeared into the hut.
Gan Lei didn't have time to play hide and seek with this monster, so he kicked open the wooden door of the hut and rushed out, the house was very messy, with sundries, broken seats, and window frames that fell half in the house piled together.
Gan Lei glanced around, but found no trace of the monster, "It's the same trick again?" ”
Gan Lei threw a ball of energy directly at the shadow behind him, but this time, he hit a void.
The energy ball smashed to the ground, blasting only dust and debris, and the monster's clothes did not touch the corners.
"Ahh
Gan Lei was accidentally thrown to the ground by the ghost, and the fishy smell came out of the mouth of the irregular size head. The strength of the ghosts is very strong, and even Gan Lei, who has a body of a warrior intermediate rank, is quite difficult to resist.
One person and one ghost froze for a moment, and the next moment, a kick that condensed qi and blood and gathered the magic power of the earth overturned the monster, Gan Lei took the opportunity to stand up, and slapped the clothes that were touched by the ghost in disgust.
Fortunately, this time, the ghost did not disappear again, but stood in the courtyard with a fierce face, staring straight at Gan Lei.
Gan Lei knew that his own words alone would only cost him to kill this monster, in order not to waste time. Gan Lei immersed his divine sense in the contract space and called "Sister Deng".
The flame power of the Qingxing Lantern was temporarily lent to Gan Lei, and the Qingxing Lantern was used as a Shikigami related to the life of the natal contract. Gan Lei can borrow some of the power of Qingxing lanterns.
And after the Qingxing Lantern fused with the cold alien flame, the power of the flame was even more powerful than before, and the flame of the Qingxing Lantern was already outstanding against ghosts, but it also gave Gan Lei the confidence to fight quickly.
The two ferocious flame attacks finally ended Gan Lei's previous war of attrition.
After the 'passerby' senior brother settled the battle, he waited for a while, and Gan Lei's side solved this monster. Although the attacking monster was solved, Gan Lei found that the monster that fell to the ground did not manifest the prototype, but disappeared more like a liquid fused into the earth.
Gan Lei turned his head to look at his senior brother, "Senior brother, is this also the case with you?" ”
"yes, it seems that these monsters are more like appetizers that the host of the guests serves before a big meal."
Senior Brother frowned, and his eyes became serious, "I still have to get some more news about this great wilderness village from that Chen Huai." ”
Gan Lei didn't use much force when he stunned Chen Huai, and Chen Huai didn't stay in a coma for long, and he woke up before Gan Lei ended the battle.
Chen Huai just sat in place and watched quietly as the two of them knocked over the monster, maybe his legs were trembling and it was difficult to stand upright, but Chen Huai felt a little itchy on the tip of his nose, stretched out his hand and scratched it, and actually grabbed a very long strand of hair.
But the three people present all have short hair, so where did this strand of long hair come from?
Gan Lei, who had finished the battle, looked at Chen Huai under the wall on the side, Chen Huai was also looking at him, but Chen Huai was holding a strand of long hair in his hand, and his body was trembling. Gan Lei gesturefully stretched out a finger and kept pointing upwards to show Chen Huai.
Chen Huai saw Gan Lei's gesture, and slowly reached out and touched his head, but he didn't find anything, and he was slightly relieved. But he saw that Gan Lei's fingers were still pointing upward, he held his breath nervously and raised his hand upward.
was similar to the scene expected by Gan Lei, under Gan Lei's signal, Chen Huai's right hand was raised a few centimeters up, and his fingertips touched something, but it felt cold.
The night was slightly cool, and Chen Huai's heart was also cold, but there was a pale yellow liquid flowing out between his legs, which was the only thing Chen Huai felt that was not cold.
Chen Huai's neck was a little stiff, frozen on the ground, not daring to move, and there were faint tears in his eyes.
Gan Lei walked over, the ghost who had been watching from the side was a messenger, and Gan Lei reached out and took the envelope that the messenger's mouth bitten.
There was only one piece of paper in the envelope, and there was only one sentence on the paper that people couldn't understand.
"The game begins."
