Chapter Twenty-Three: The Vanishing Old Demon

As soon as the old demon's voice disappeared, Lao Yang and Ah Guang had already fallen, and the situation of the other mercenaries was also not good, they either had a blank look in their eyes, or their faces were distorted and struggling, only Uncle Zhang and Uncle Jin were still conscious and were desperately approaching Ah Jian's side.

"Ah Jian, stone, run, there's an evil thing coming, we can't stand it anymore......"

Uncle Zhang shouted hard as they ran.

"Uncle Zhang, do you want to ...... I'll try again with light magic!"

Ah Jian's voice was a little deformed due to nervousness, and the staff in his hand was trembling slightly, but he didn't listen to Uncle Zhang's plucking and ran, he still wanted to try to save it.

With the rhythmic dance of the staff, a silver pillar of light fell from the sky and fell on Uncle Zhang and the mercenaries, as if coated with a layer of flickering fluorescence.

The only second-level light magic stored in the staff, the Light of Purification, has been cast.

It was like a miraculous potion, expelling the cold, expelling the confusion, and the negative emotions that surged like a tide, so that everyone's spirits were lifted, and a few people had even broken free from the confusion and ran behind Uncle Zhang and Uncle Jin.

However, this situation did not last long, and the dark wind drove the black fog to quickly engulf the light, and in less than a quarter of an hour the fluorescence disappeared without a trace.

"Ah......h

I don't know which mercenary roared unwillingly before the god was lost, echoing in the valley of deathly silence, looking particularly terrifying.

The stone stood in front of Ah Jian, pulling the hard bow into a bright moon, but where was the enemy in the empty wilderness?

Ah Jian silently recited the incantation, preparing to release the purifying light again, although this light magic did not seem to be strong, it was better than nothing, he did not have the habit of abandoning his companions to escape alone.

Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, and then there were many voices in his head inexplicably, some angry, some resentful, some unyielding, some crying...... And so on, and each one seemed to be himself, so that his consciousness gradually fell into confusion, and his body began to disobey the call.

"Boy, wake up, run!"

When Ah Jian was about to lose consciousness, the old demon's clear voice suddenly sounded in his mind, it was like a thunderbolt, which woke him up at once.

"Ah......h Wow ......"

The old demon may not have thought of it, or it thought of it but did it anyway, and its voice woke up not only Ah Jian, but also the evil creatures swimming in his sea of knowledge. They make all sorts of incomprehensible sounds and scurry around, looking for the source of that sound.

The timid old demon was naturally no longer in Ah Jian's sea of knowledge, it ran back to its old nest - the meteorite, and then hid there and didn't dare to move.

Taking advantage of the headless flies of the evil creatures, Ah Jian finally regained control of his body, but he still did not run, because the stone was lying on the grass not far from him, and Uncle Zhang, Uncle Jin, and all the other mercenaries had already fallen, without exception.

"Forget it, fight with them......"

Just as he was about to use all means to fight those evil creatures desperately, a vision appeared.

I don't know how the evil thing escaped, and I don't know if the evil thing was found first, anyway, the meteorite where the old demon was hiding was discovered by that group of evil things.

This is a terrible thing!

The meteorite on Ah Jian's chest seemed to have turned into a miniature black hole, sucking thousands of evil creatures, including all the evil creatures in Ah Jian's sea and other places.

Perhaps, for the lonely ghost who has wandered for many years and cannot return, there is nothing more attractive than this meteorite. They really need a place to live, and this meteorite proves that it is a good ghost dwelling in the way of appearance.

Although it was quite jealous of those ghost things before, ghosts also had three points of fire, and this was still its last lair, the only tangible substance that carried its past memories, how could it be handed over?

So, without any announcement, without any other warning, a meteorite defense battle began in a hurry.

Ah Jian understood that the old demon could have avoided this war, as long as it didn't run out and didn't appear in his sea of consciousness, the evil creatures would not have thought that a stone could hold the demon, but the old demon ......

He really wanted to fight side by side with the old demon, but he had no means, and even the second-level light magic, the purifying light, which was the only one that could hurt the evil thing, was temporarily unusable due to the depletion of his magic power, and he could only feel the pulsation in the meteorite on his chest, constantly praying for the old demon's blessing.

The war in the meteorite must have been terrible, because he felt that the meteorite was heating up, as if the war had set the houses on fire, scorched the earth, and boiled the blood.

The world seemed to stand still for a moment, except for the meteorite that was getting hotter and hotter, everything around it stopped moving, and even the cold and biting wind disappeared without a trace.

......

I don't know how long it took, but when Ah Jian finally climbed to the side of the stone, the hot and red meteorite finally stopped heating up, which seemed to mean that the war was over.

Ah Jian hugged the stone, waiting for the verdict of fate.

How he wished that the old demon would suddenly appear in his sea of consciousness at this time, bragging, pretending, singing its ugly love song, or pestering himself to worship it as a teacher. He had already thought about it, as long as the old demon appeared, he would definitely call it Master this time.

But...... A minute passed, five minutes passed, ten minutes passed, and the old demon never appeared, nothing appeared.

It and the evil creatures seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there was no news of them again. If it weren't for the residual heat on this meteorite, if it weren't for the mercenaries lying on the ground, he would almost have wondered if he was dreaming.

"Old demon, oh no, that's Master! It must not die! Yes, people will die, how can the Yin God die? Master, his old man is just tired, lying in it to rest, it must be like this. ”

Ah Jian tried to give himself a smile, gently touched the meteorite on his chest, as if drawing enough energy from it, and then walked towards Uncle Zhang who was lying in front.

A few minutes later, as the sparkling magical light lit up, everyone who had been unconscious for more than half a prayer finally came to their senses.

Not far away, Ah Jian and Shi were in a daze at the meteorite, and the old demon never appeared again.
