Chapter Twenty-Eight: Investigating the Ruins of the Village
Fleeing for nearly a thousand kilometers in embarrassment, it was not until he almost returned to the relatively safe road that Shen Xia gasped and stopped. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Looking at Qian Xing again, both of them are a little depressed.
No one expected that what they thought was the most terrible soul had not yet been encountered, but a companion died under the cannibal flower first!
Since the deaths of Shang Wu and Zhuang Yuan, this is the second time that Shen Xia has witnessed the death of his companions.
If you say that when you were in distress with Shang Wu Night Hunt before, you can still shirk the accident and lack of strength. The sneak attack by the man-eating flower this time once again gave Shen Xia a profound lesson - the Marfa Continent is far more dangerous than imagined, and any step of relaxation may pay the price of blood!
This blow also alerted him, who was confident because of his strength not long ago.
The sneak attack of the cannibal flower just now, if he hadn't maintained a certain vigilance, he would probably have died with Jiang Zhenzhi.
"Brother Shen...... What can I do? ”
Qian Xing finally calmed down from his horror, and the six gods looked at Shen Xia without a master, not knowing whether to continue the investigation or return and recruit more helpers.
Shen Xia was also a little hesitant in his heart.
After weighing it for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Go on!" ”
In this abandoned woodland, he had waited enough time to go back and forth. If you go back and call someone, one more round trip, I don't know how long it will last, and the benefits you can get after completing the task will inevitably decrease. Another reason that prompted him to make the decision was that the previous process of killing the unjust soul proved that as long as there was an evil spirit and a sacred talisman in place, the unjust soul was not that much of a threat to them.
Even if there is one less person, he still has confidence.
Seeing Shen Xia's insistence, Qian Xing hesitated for a moment and chose to follow.
After re-entering the area on the north side of the road, they deliberately avoided the area infested by the cannibal flowers before. This time, the two did not encounter any more attacks, and successfully searched the predetermined area.
And no more to discover!
Then, as long as they investigate the ruins of the village in the abandoned woodland before dark, they will be able to go back to the business smoothly.
According to the detailed coordinates provided by Daoist Zhu before leaving, Shen Xia and Qian Xing took a short rest, adjusted their direction, and began the final investigation. After about half an hour of walking through the shady woods, the trees in front of them gradually thinned out, and there were traces of abandoned fields. After checking the surrounding scenery, Shen Xia realized that they were about to arrive at their destination.
Perhaps because of the approaching afternoon, it will be a little overcast and the temperature will drop significantly.
I don't know if it's an illusion, after the ruins of the abandoned village appeared in their sight, Shen Xia and Qian Xing saw a light gray mist over the ruins in a trance. But if you look closely, it seems that there is nothing.
"It's weird!"
If it's just him, since both of them feel that there is a problem, it can only be that there is something abnormal in this ruin.
After a few dozen steps, the two stopped at the entrance of the abandoned village.
There used to be a stone wall about a man high, but now most of it has collapsed, and the rest is covered in moss and weeds. Only in a few places can you vaguely see what it used to be. As for the original gate, it has long since collapsed and decayed in the wind and sun. Looking beyond the entrance of the village, the village of hundreds of villagers is dead and dilapidated, and there are only a handful of intact buildings.
"Hurry up and walk around, this place is a bit evil, and it is not suitable to stay for a long time."
Qian Xing looked up at the sky, his expression was a little uneasy, and he nervously urged Shen Xia. So, under the guidance of the evil charm plate, the two crossed the village entrance and entered the village.
The original dirt road between the villages that was compacted with loess has not been seen over the years, and only a little outline can be barely seen. The two of them didn't know the depth of this place, so they didn't dare to go too fast, so they could only look around vigilantly, while clenching the sacred +1 wooden sword in their hands, ready to save each other at any time.
The cold wind blew from the direction of the village entrance, and Shen Xia only felt a chill behind him. I couldn't help but look back, but there was not the slightest sign of suspicion. But just as he was about to approach the well platform at the entrance of the village, the pointer of the evil talisman plate, which had been shaking slightly, turned violently as if someone had pulled it hard.
Almost at the same time, the icy cold sensation spreads like a tidal wave.
Shen Xia and Qian Xing, who had long been nervous, bounced violently like springs that pressed to the end and suddenly let go.
In the next moment, the unjust spirit that rushed from the side of the well platform briefly manifested after approaching the evil charm plate and the sacred +1 wooden sword. Compared with the unjust soul encountered before, the original body of this unjust soul was a middle-aged woman. Perhaps because it had been transformed for the longest time, the black qi on its body was very strong, and it felt more dangerous, just getting close to it made Shen Xia and Qian Xing frightened.
The erratic ghost cry and the piercing laughter alternated, with a trance-making power.
If it is an ordinary person who has not changed jobs, just being cried by this ghost can confuse his mind, and even die of fear. It is also thanks to the fact that Shen Xia and Qian Xing are Taoist priests, and they have an innate advantage in spiritual strength, and they can barely resist.
Rao is like this, and the faces of the two are also pale.
The unjust soul was moving fast, and it was too late to run. The two people who have their backs to it are likely to pay the price of at least one. The only way to survive is to defeat it desperately!
"Fight!"
Shen Xia shouted, encouraged Qian Xing, and took the initiative to kill him.
Layers of attack aura rippled out, and with the blessing of the white divine aura, they slashed head-on. At the moment of the exchange, Shen Xia's wooden sword felt obvious resistance as if it had been split into the paste.
It made him happy.
The divine attribute is indeed the natural nemesis of the unjust soul!
Injured by such a blow, the screams of the unjust souls who were extremely disgusted with this breath rose by at least a few dozen decibels. In a fit of rage, he ignored the sword that passed through his body and pounced on Shen Xia fiercely!
This kind of monster seems to know how to avoid the defensive aura, not only did it find its fragile neck when it attacked Li Ju before, but now its claws also directly grabbed Shen Xia's head!
There was no time to withdraw the sword, Shen Xia could only subconsciously raise his hand, trying to block its attack.
The part of the arm that was covered by the cloth instantly lit up with three layers of defensive aura.
However, this unjust soul's attack power is surprisingly high. The two layers of defense on the periphery collapsed almost at the touch of a button, just like Li Ju, who had been attacked by the previous sneak attack.
The cold resentment penetrated through the last layer of spiritual light and submerged into his body.
Even if it was only a little, it still made Shen Xia feel a biting coldness, as if the vitality in his body was frozen, and the movements of the whole person slowed down.
At the critical moment, Qian Xing shot the horse and killed!
He was actually very afraid and hesitant in his heart, which was why he was slower than Shen Xia. But in the end, Qian Xing still did not choose to escape alone.
This side attack gave Shen Xia a chance to come back.
He drew his sword and retreated, and with the flow of qi and blood in his body, he dispelled a little resentment, and his body quickly recovered. took advantage of the fact that the unjust soul was restrained by Qian Xing, and waited for the opportunity to attack again.
The blessing of the divine talisman on the wooden sword was almost sent to the extreme!
If there is no simplified version of the blessing of the Divine Talisman, the two LV1 Daoists will definitely die if they encounter this unjust soul whose strength is comparable to that of a poisonous spider and a man-eating flower. But the restraint effect of the talisman gave the two of them the ability to reluctantly fight it. After all, aside from the two characteristics of stealth and physical damage that are difficult to work, the hard power of the shrinking soul is only a cut above the scarecrow.
In addition, the three of them worked together to kill the unjust soul that wandered on the road, which also made Shen Xia and Qian Xing familiar with the attack mode of the unjust soul.
The combination of these things gives the two of them the capital to fight for their lives!
