Chapter Seventy-Four: The Bones
Xia Mu woke up Guan Xin and the others.
"Get up, we're ready to work."
Guan Xin looked at Xia Mu with sleepy eyes, as if he didn't understand what had just happened, "My lord, what's wrong?" ”
"Remember what we're doing here?"
Guan Xin woke up instantly, "I...... How did you fall asleep? ”
Natsuki pointed to the sky outside, "I don't know very well, but it definitely has something to do with it." There, a pitch-black coffin hung in mid-air, and eight thick white candles circled around it.
……
The identical parents stood up from the coffin and stood face to face, each with their eyes closed.
Gu Qing was so frightened that he couldn't breathe.
I saw my parents walking straight, and at the staggered moment, Gu Qing thought that they would collide head-on. Who knew that the two of them passed through their bodies, one pair lay into the coffin, and the other pair returned to the bed.
After a while, the coffin slammed shut, and the couple on the bed woke up.
Gu Qing clenched the corners of his clothes, horror filled his brain, and he couldn't think of anything else. I can only see the parents who wake up and approach step by step......
"Old man...... How did I see Qing'er's clothes? Is he back? ”
"Is there one? I'll look for it...... Qing'er, Qing'er, are you back? ”
Gu Qing shrank inside.
Father's footsteps are closer. Then the curtain was slammed open.
"Qing'er, when did you come back? What's wrong with you? ”
Gu Qing's face turned pale, and just when he thought he was dead, a hand slapped on his shoulder.
"Hello uncle, Gu Qing may be too anxious, so he is a little out of breath."
Xia Mu gave Gu Qing an internal force to help calm his mood.
"You ......"
"I'm an evil spirit hunter invited by Gu Qing."
"Oh, that's really great, our village has been looking forward to you for a long time, hurry up and sit down, and the child will hurry up and serve tea."
Father Gu greeted warmly, and he was like two people during the day, and he didn't have any impression of the things during the day.
"Senior...... My parents are not already ...... Turned into a ghost? I just saw someone who looked exactly like my parents, crawling out of the coffin in my house......"
Xia Mu shook his head, he was so suspicious just now, but he obviously sensed the yang energy from his ancient father, which was the breath that only belonged to the living, and in addition, he had been crawling quietly in his arms in vain, which also confirmed his guess.
"Your parents are still alive, but for some reason their souls have been divided. Memories are also cut off. Now it seems that the part of the day represents apathy, the part of the night represents enthusiasm, and they still retain the memory of your outing. ”
"So what do we do now?"
"Wait for the news of Guan Xing, he will go to your village chief now, I believe that no one else knows what is going on except him."
Natsuki thought of the task under the stump of the martial arts tree, since he couldn't take it during the day, what about at night?
Bidding farewell to his father, Natsuki returned to the village, found the stump, and clicked on the yellow exclamation mark representing the mission.
The mist poured in from the stump and finally condensed into a few words.
[Kill all the people of Gujia Village!] 】
[Whether to accept the task: Kill the people of Gujia Village, the task reward: Immortal Seal Method.] 】
Natsuki withdrew his hand, and the mist quickly disappeared.
This is the heaviest task that Natsuki has ever received. A martial arts tree that has guarded the village for hundreds of years, and the final mission released is to kill the humans he originally blessed.
The felling of the martial arts tree was done by the villagers of Gujia Village, if the truth is not that the martial arts tree itself died as Gu Qing said, but that the villagers of Gujia coveted the high price offered by the timber merchants......
Then this is interesting.
"Help! Help me! ”
At the mouth of an alley, Makino almost rushed towards Natsuki with a rolling belt, and as he was, several monsters with black gum flowing all over their bodies crawled on the surrounding walls and chased after him.
Makino was not paying attention, and was thrown out by a monster in the back, Makino let out a breath in his mouth, and rolled in front of Natsuki with the power behind him.
"Help, sir!"
"What happened?" Natsuki asked, casting an identification spell on several monsters.
【Skull】
Cursed to death, his soul trapped in a shell, tormented by rotten hearts and lungs day and night. The gum on his body is a mutation of painful, cursed carrion. If only the white bones are corroded in the body, the curse will go deep into the bone marrow, and the pain will increase tenfold and hundredfold, so he instinctively looks for the fusion of all creatures with a body to replenish the consumption of the body. It's a monster.
Qi and blood value: 3000
Skill: Separation of flesh and bones, at the cost of suffering great pain, control the gum on the body to attack the enemy, and the gum attacker will suffer the same pain as the bones.
Pain accompaniment: The greater the pain in the body, the stronger the strength.
Monsters, this is the first time Natsuki has seen them, monsters are not as polluting as evil spirits, but they are much more ferocious, and for the victims, they would rather become a madman without reason than be tormented while awake.
All the creatures were good medicine to relieve pain in the eyes of the bones, and they pounced on Xia Mu, who pulled out his thoughts and attached his innate pure yang internal power to it, and with a flash of sword light, he stomped off one of his claws.
The curse carried by the gum followed the broken bone deep into the bone marrow, and the bone rolled on the ground in pain, but Natsuki found that his breath increased instead of decreasing.
Is this the pain that accompanies it? Sure enough, it's a cruel skill.
The sword qi flickered, Xia Mu took out the Huashan swordsmanship that he hadn't used for a long time, and in the blink of an eye, the bones were dismantled, although his breath was constantly increasing, but the qi and blood value had been decreasing, and with the last roar accompanied by relief, the qi and blood bottomed out.
After the bones died, black smoke billowed from their bodies and rushed into the coffin above their heads.
At the same time, another cloud of black smoke rose from the other side of the village.
"It's Brother Guan! He went to the village chief. ”
Natsuki looked at the remaining bones.
……
After a while.
Guan Xin walked out of the alley.
"My lord, I'm late, the village chief has turned into a monster, and I fought with him for a ......"
Guan Xin suddenly saw several monsters trapped in the cage.
Golden Cage (Broken)
Quality: Legendary.
Although it is said to be mutilated, it is a legendary-level equipment after all, and it is still very simple to tie up a few bones.
"You know it all?".
"Some know, some don't, might as well share your opinion."
"It's like a curse, I found him in the coffin of the village chief's house, but I didn't find the village chief, so I think the village chief has been turned into this kind of monster by evil spirits, although they are normal during the day, but at night they become monsters, but they are sealed by the coffin. So I advise not to open the coffin at random from now on. ”
