Volume 2 The Walker Patrols the Seas Chapter 166 The Castle in the Moonlight (22)
It has been said that distance begets worship. This is not without reason.
Some people admire and worship the strong people on TV and in stories, and regard their success stories as inspirational stories. But if someone who is at the same level as himself and is around him does what he has not done, it is very likely to breed shame, resulting in envy, jealousy and even... Emotions of hatred.
For example, you are consistently ranked second to last in your class, but one day when the guy who has always been the first to the bottom improves his grades by leaps and bounds, and leaves you behind in the blink of an eye, do you envy it? For example, at the company's annual meeting, you didn't even have a participation award, and you personally verified that the employees in the office next door won the special prize, are you jealous? For example, a good brother who hooks up with you, smells like, and is the same as you, but he successfully chased the goddess of your class, and it is said that he also went to bed, do you hate it?
This is one of the inferiorities of human beings, but fortunately, some people have overcome this by improving their personal cultivation, and they are willing to give blessings or applause to the success of their friends and even strangers.
Relatively, there are also people who play this inferiority more obviously, they can't see others good, when they see some fans touting a certain star on the Internet, he always has to insert it and sing a few words of counter-tune, black stroke. When he heard that a popular star had negative revelations, he had to fall into the well as soon as possible, and he couldn't wait to jump on the obvious head and step on his feet.
In the face of Su Wei's fearless spirit of resistance and his insistence on his principles, Jiang Ling really felt sincere admiration.
To be honest, when she was on Dongwu Island, Su Wei did not have a good impression on Jiang Ling, this woman was too rational, and her thinking was a little elusive. At that time, she left Jiang Ling and Huang Lie and turned around and fled, Jiang Ling expressed his understanding, and he expected it, but except for Su Wei's beautiful appearance that could make him praise, the rest of the woman did not leave him with any good impression.
Therefore, in the team action just now, Jiang Ling was still vigilant about it for a large part of the time, and as for the existence of Zhou Yu's hole cards, he would not tell her.
But what Su Wei has done now is enough to make Jiang Ling look at her with admiration.
Therefore, Jiang Ling also despised Leon in front of him more and more.
Leon saw Jiang Ling's insulting gesture, coupled with the subconscious thoughts in Jiang Ling's words, he suddenly became angry, and his bloody eyes showed a strong murderous intent. He roared, "I'll get you yellow monkey!" ”
I saw Leon holding a spear in his hand, swept away the two vines, and then held the spear forward, turned into a gale, and went straight to Jiang Ling.
"Vine spear thrust!" Jiang Ling used his spiritual power again, and two rattan spears broke through the ground and slanted into the path of Leon's forward rush, if Leon continued to sprint, he would collide with these two rattan spears head-on.
"You deserve to be called a spear!?" Leon was furious, his spear swept, smashing the two rattan spears, and waved his hand and shook the spear directly at Jiang Ling's heart.
At the foot of Jiang Ling, there was a section of vine sticking to the ground, and Huo Ran extended from left to right, taking Jiang Ling to move two meters, so that Jiang Ling avoided this spear.
After several experiments, Jiang Ling has been able to use the vines under his feet to complete short-distance rapid movement relatively smoothly.
But Leon was not slow to react, and the next moment the spear swept across and smashed into Jiang Ling's ribs.
At this moment, the vines under Jiang Ling's feet moved again, but instead of retreating, they advanced, suddenly shortening the distance between Jiang Ling and Leon, and Jiang Ling held the sword of sin and stabbed Leon's neck.
"It's a great choice to close the distance between a short weapon and a long weapon." Leon snorted coldly: "But the spirit master dares to fight hard with the martial artist, it's really stupid!" ”
Leon's hands holding the spear swung, and the spear was immediately sideways, holding Jiang Ling's arm holding the knife, and then Leon raised his foot and kicked Jiang Ling's abdomen.
And Jiang Ling seemed to have a countermeasure to this, at this moment, the vines under Jiang Ling's feet instantly skyrocketed, sending him to a height of one meter, plus Jiang Ling jumped up, and then got up another meter, avoiding this kick.
Leon looked up, smirked, and was about to thrust upwards as he grasped his spear.
"Sending yourself into the air is not forcing you into a place of mortality!?"
Jiang Ling in mid-air seemed to have nowhere to borrow, but at this moment, a two-meter-long arm-thick vine suddenly grew on the roof of the basement and was grabbed by Jiang Ling in his hand, and then the vine instantly contracted, bringing Jiang Ling to the roof of the shed.
Leon hit the air with one blow, and when he saw Jiang Ling hanging on the roof of the shed in this way, he couldn't help but be a little surprised that Jiang Ling could use spiritual magic so flexibly. But he didn't hesitate, and held the gun again: "Look for death!" ”
I saw Leon squatting slightly with his legs, accumulating strength under his feet, and holding the spear tightly with both hands, about to rise into the sky, intending to nail Jiang Ling directly to the shed.
But Jiang Ling also spread his palms downward at this moment, and then closed his five fingers in the air.
"Vine Spear Killing Array!"
Eight spear-like vines burst out from all angles around Leon's body!
At this moment, Leon had just exerted his strength under his feet, and his feet were three inches off the ground, and the rattan spears around him stabbed at this extremely opportune time.
Burst! Puff puff!
A series of flesh piercing sounds rang out, and eight rattan spears pierced Leon's body, piercing his chest, abdomen, and limbs, pinning Leon with his feet dangling in the air.
"Uhh Leon screamed in pain, blood splattering from him.
"You are the one who has fallen into the place of mortality." Jiang Ling hung on the roof of the shed and glanced at Leon coldly.
At this time, Leon was not dead, it should have been that his vitality had become much more tenacious after being transformed into a blood corpse.
"Damn yellow monkeys!" Blood welled up from Leon's mouth, and he still had an expression of anger that distorted to the point of rage, gripping the spear in an attempt to break free of the rattan spear that had been embedded in his body.
But the next moment, he felt a flash of cold light in front of him, a slight chill in his neck, and then he was shocked to find that the scene in front of him had turned upside down.
The next moment he realized that the flip was not the scene in front of him, but his head.
Poof, the head rolled into a pool of blood.
Jiang Ling glanced at William, who had drawn his sword, and saw William put his sword into the sheath, and at the same time snorted and said, "A yellow monkey, can't you see that I am also Chinese?" Chop things. ”
Jiang Ling did not express an opinion on this, although William said that he helped himself, it was obvious that he did not need his help very much, and the points of this head were taken away by William.
To put it bluntly, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was robbing people's heads, but Jiang Ling only flashed a trace of unhappiness in his eyes at this time, and then suppressed it. Because of the current situation, I can't tear my face with William yet.
Jiang Ling's spiritual power stopped output, the eight vine spears on the ground dissipated, Leon's bloody corpse body fell to the ground, and the corpse full of holes knelt on the ground, without moving, it should not be able to stand up again.
Jiang Ling didn't rush down for a while, he hung above and glanced at the blood pool, and then turned his head to look around.
From this angle, you can clearly see the blood bats lurking on the wall, as well as the huge night pearl embedded in the stone wall not far away.
It would be nice if the pearl could be taken down and taken away this night, and I would save myself the tools to find lighting.
At this moment, Jiang Ling's eyes changed, and he saw that there were lines of words on the wall next to the Night Pearl, and there seemed to be a metal piece embedded under the words.
The red handwriting was engraved, and the grooves were full of blood.
[Even if I sink forever, I can't let this demon out of hell. 】
"What?" Seeing this, Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment, and then felt strange in his heart, and vaguely felt that something was wrong. The next moment he reached out and pulled out the piece of metal embedded in the wall under the inscription.
At this moment, the blood bats on the wall hissed and flew out, pounced on Jiang Ling and William.
Jiang Ling didn't dare to be careless, hurriedly let go of the vine, and fell to the ground.
The castle master in the blood pool still maintained that posture and did not move, but said indifferently: "It seems that there is no possibility of a peaceful solution. ”
"We are human." Su Wei had already slashed out nearly a hundred swords, but the shield had no intention of weakening, and she had to stop and rest. She stuck her long sword on the ground, holding the hilt of the sword in her hand, her slender arm trembled a little, but her words did not tremble, she said firmly: "And you are not a human being, and there is no possibility of peace talks with you!" ”
The castle lord just shook his head and said, "Your statement is not convincing, you are not ordinary people, you are Skywalkers, why should you care about the life and death of these ordinary people?" You are heavenly beings, what does this world have to do with you? ”
At this point, not only Su Wei, but also Jiang Ling and William were stunned.
William swept down the two blood bats with a sword, frowned and said to himself, "You even know this? ”
The castle lord sighed and said, "Actually, there is no need for us to be enemies, I don't want you to die. I've collected enough blood that if you promise me one thing, I can give you the many treasures I have hidden in the castle. Whether you leave this world or what happens after that is none of my business. ”
As soon as these words came out, the three of them had different expressions.
Among them, Su Wei definitely didn't want to negotiate the conditions with the castle master, even at this time, the system prompt sounded in her mind, "Since your body is about to transform into a blood corpse, you can choose to change the main quest at present", but Su Wei immediately chose no. At this time, her body is seriously alienated, and even a little uncontrollable, if she completely turns into a bloody corpse, her behavior may be affected by this castle master.
But she has a firm belief that she must fight to the end against this demon who has killed hundreds of people, and this strong belief also supports her not to be bloodied too soon.
She wasn't going to listen to the castle master's deal, but someone spoke: "What's the matter?" Let's hear it. ”
"Huh?" Su Wei turned her head and looked over with anger in confusion, she asked, "Jiang Ling, what do you mean?" ”
That's right, this was not asked by William, but by Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling stood in the middle of the three swinging vines, resisting the killing of the blood bats, and said at the same time, "I want to hear it and help me make a decision." ”
"You... Will you believe his nonsense!? Su Wei was very surprised why Jiang Ling had the intention of cooperating with the castle master.
"I'll have to hear about it to know it, and besides, I'm curious about what else we haven't found in this fort." Jiang Ling opened his mouth like this.
Su Wei felt a burst of disappointment in her heart when she heard this, but the next moment, a trace of reason flashed in her somewhat confused mind, and she heard that Jiang Ling seemed to have something to say, so she didn't continue to entangle.
The castle lord looked at Jiang Ling, and at this time, the blood bats besieging Jiang Ling immediately dispersed and returned to the wall. I only heard the castle lord say indifferently: "That's right, especially you, you don't know what you're here for, and there's no need to fight with your life, as long as you are willing to help me do something, I will give you ten treasures." ”
Jiang Ling nodded and said, "Just say something." ”
The castle lord bowed his head and said, "Before this, I want to clarify one thing, it is not my intention to practice blood spells in my place, and to use the lives of those unprovoked people as materials. ”
"I know." Jiang Ling suddenly raised his hand, and the castle lord's eyes changed, but he saw that Jiang Ling only summoned a small piece of vine and bounced out the metal piece that was stuck on the wall.
Jiang Ling took the piece of metal and took a look, it was indeed the thing he guessed. He turned this thing over to the castle lord to see, it was a sect nameplate, Jiang Ling said: "You were forced to do this by those junior brothers and sisters of the same sect, right?" The elder brother of Nanyan Wuzong. ”
