Chapter 386: The Key and the Scepter
Being dragged by this soft monster, Gu Xiantang was more nervous than anyone imagined, and even he didn't know why he was suddenly so scared, obviously the energy aura diffused from this monster's body was not strong, at least not strong enough to make him afraid, but ...... He had an instinctive fear of the monster.
"What are you doing?!"
Gu Xiantang seemed to be stimulated, and his shouting voice became sharp, this kind of embarrassed performance only made him feel extremely embarrassed, especially in front of his childhood sweetheart Zhao Zhier......
"You...... It's you ......."
The monster had a tall, thin and shriveled body, like a tree about to die, and a kind of sinister smile appeared on its old face that was uneven like the bark of a tree.
Although there was no eyeball tissue in its sunken eye sockets, Gu Xiantang could feel it...... This monster is staring at itself.
"What we?! Loosen it for me!! ”
Gu Xiantang shouted and pulled out the saber he was carrying, because the distance between the two sides was too close, it was impossible for him to use the tip of the sword to stab the monster, so he could only flip his wrist and slash at the monster's arm with a sword diagonally.
He has full confidence in the magic sword in his hand, although it is not as good as the rusty sword that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Li family in Shudi, but in terms of sharpness alone, it is not much worse.
Especially with the blessing of the energy in Gu Xiantang's body, this magic sword is even more indestructible, but when it touches this monster, the feedback transmitted by the blade makes Gu Xiantang a little unacceptable.
The monster's withered arms looked weak, like dead branches without water, as if they would shatter at the slightest touch, but in reality...... The flesh of this monster is harder than most metal!
As soon as the indestructible magic sword in Gu Xiantang's hand slashed up, it was almost instantly shattered into a conspicuous gap.
Gu Xiantang must feel uncomfortable, after all, this magic sword has been with Gu Xiantang for more than ten years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is his most beloved treasure......
"You!! I'll kill you!! ”
"Be careful!!"
As soon as Zhao Zhi'er's words of reminder fell, Gu Xiantang found that he suddenly fell into a sticky and soft substance...... He looked down, only to find that the monster's soft lower limbs had been wrapped around his body, as if it was about to absorb itself, and kept pulling it into the body.
To be honest, Gu Xiantang wanted to vomit a little.
It's like it's being absorbed by a giant slug, and the smell of soft-bodied substances is disgusting to look at, and it's not just disgusting.
While being restrained by this monster, Gu Xiantang also found that the energy in his body was rapidly draining...... It seems that all this energy has been sucked away by something, and the limbs do not listen to their own calls at all, and no matter how much they try to break free, it is only in vain.
"I'll help you!"
Zhao Zhi'er pulled out the magic sword she carried with her, not as reckless as Gu Xiantang, she did not directly attack the monster, but pinched the magic with her hand to urge the energy in her body to gather on her fingertips, and then wiped her fingertips to the sword body......
In an instant, some colorful substances appeared on the blade, suspended in the air about half a centimeter away from the blade like dust.
It wasn't until this moment that Zhao Zhier was "willing" to make a move.
I saw her grasp the hilt of the sword and raise her hand to stab, and the seemingly indestructible monster body was penetrated by the sword body in an instant.
"It has weaknesses."
A look of excitement flashed in Zhao Zhi'er's eyes, and with a slight pick, the monster's arm was cut into two pieces, but even so, the half of the palm left on Gu Xiantang's body was still holding his arm.
"You...... Why is there a ...... Substance...... Divinity...... Material ......"
The monster didn't attack Zhao Zhi'er, not only did it not fight back, it didn't even dodge, it stared at Zhao Zhi'er from beginning to end, as if it had found something in this human that it couldn't believe.
For example, those colorful energies.
What it calls "divine matter".
"You dodge! I can handle it! ”
At this moment, Gu Xiantang roared without warning, as if he felt a little embarrassed in front of Zhao Zhi'er, and was so embarrassed by this monster in just an instant...... Gu Xiantang only felt a strong sense of humiliation at this moment, in addition to anger.
Of course, Zhao Zhi'er has long been accustomed to his neurotic performance, she has always felt that Gu Xiantang is not a normal person, perhaps because of Gu Shanzhu's pampering, he has not been wronged since he was a child, and his self-esteem is stronger than anyone else......
"I'll get you out first." Zhao Zhi'er frowned and said, not following Gu Xiantang's words, "It's up to you how you want to deal with it after that." ”
"You don't need to save it! I can do it! ”
Gu Xiantang's teeth were about to be crushed, and when he heard Zhao Zhi'er say that he wanted to save himself, the humiliation he felt instantly increased several times......
At this time, Gu Xiantang had already sensed the change in the monster.
When the monster used its soft lower limbs to restrain him, perhaps because it was cut by Xu Yanan, that strange binding force had become much weaker, at least Gu Xiantang's limbs had begun to gradually recover to obey the call.
This time, Gu Xiantang didn't use the sword again.
He directly grasped the other weapon pinned to his waist with his hand.
That's right, it's the thing that Chen Xian and they were curious about before.
Because the outer layer of this weapon was wrapped in linen, Chen Xian and the others didn't see what was underneath this layer of linen at that time......
It's a scepter.
From the outside, the scepter is supposed to be made of gold, the whole is in a strange spiral, the outer layer is many relief totems of unknown meaning, most of them are some twisted patterns that are unrecognizable, and the top of the scepter is inlaid with a milky white gemstone the size of an adult's fist.
The gem appeared to be "alive", and there were many blood-like threads on its outer layer, and these scarlet filaments covered the surface of the gem like a spider's web, dividing the complete gem into irregular cubicles.
There is a black dot the size of a soybean in each small compartment.
They kept turning, like countless eyes, and when they lost the cover of that layer of linen, they immediately looked at Gu Xiantang who was holding the scepter, and then turned their eyes to look at the monster that was close at hand.
"Key...... At your ...... It turned out to be ...... with you."
The monster seemed to recognize the scepter, and its voice trembled, but the tone of voice sounded strange, like ...... Surprised, why would anyone dare to take this thing?
In the next second, the monster forcibly pulled Gu Xiantang out of his body without warning, and then moved several meters away at an extremely fast speed, as if he was deliberately keeping a distance from Gu Xiantang.
"It was God's arrangement...... It must be ......"
The monster muttered softly, it looked at Gu Xiantang, and then turned its head to look deeper into the tunnel, as if it was looking for Chen Xian and their traces.
"How dare you sneak up on me......"
Gu Xiantang's eyes were full of undisguised killing intent, after breaking away from the shackles of this monster, the anger in his heart did not go out, but intensified, and he wanted to kill this monster to vent his anger.
The monster didn't care if Gu Xiantang was angry or not, nor did he care what Gu Xiantang wanted to do to him next, it was just a disciple who guarded the ancient land, and everything he did here was just a task assigned by the gods.
At this point, the monster spoke again, and its language skills seemed to have recovered a little more than before, at least not so much as before.
"You'll regret it......"
The monster said this briefly, and then glanced at Gu Xiantang deeply.
"Lower life...... Unable to bear the weight of all things...... It won't be the key in your hands...... It's just an ominous relic......"
Hearing these words coming out of the monster's mouth, Gu Xiantang immediately frowned, as if he felt that this monster was alarmist.
"An ominous relic?" Gu Xiantang sneered, "Do you think I can't suppress it?" ”
"Stupid."
The monster laughed weirdly, as if mocking Gu Xiantang's indiscretion.
"You'll regret it."
