Chapter 44: The Ghost of the Spring

Seeing that the Blazing Golden Toad wanted to attack him, Shen Jinsan hurriedly stayed away, and Wu Xin also took a few steps back and pulled out the dagger on his waist.

How did the big toad, who was just as well-behaved as a dog, suddenly go berserk!

Suddenly, a large sand dune gradually rose on the river beach not far from where Shen Jinsan was originally standing, and the sand dune arched higher and higher, and as the sand and gravel on it continued to roll down, an adult with a terrifying white mask was exposed.

The fiery golden toad became more and more furious, roaring wildly at the human head, it propped up its hind legs and limbs tightly to the ground, and its body kept shaking one after the other.

In fact, it can also be seen occasionally in life, which is just a kind of body language of a toad to scare the enemy.

Only then did Shen Jinsan and Wu Xin understand that the original target of the Blazing Golden Toad was not Shen Jinsan, but something buried in the gravel, but the human perception ability was not as strong as that of animals, and when the river beach had not yet been raised, the Blazing Golden Toad had already noticed it.

The masked man's head rose higher and higher, and then he pulled two slender arms from the sand and propped himself up on the ground, slowly pulling himself out of the large sand.

This strange thing is really not small, the whole body is pink and almost translucent, the body seems to be filled with water, it looks like a hairless pig, and the buttocks are almost the same as those of humans, but a small bulge is born at the position of the tail vertebrae, and it can faintly glow.

Its oval-shaped head has a mask that pulls out human features, no ears or hair, and four slender claws that are about the length of a human arm, but with less muscle, like a human hand with only skin and bones, it can support a body the size of an adult wild boar.

Originally, when they first appeared, Shen Jinsan and Wu Xin thought that this should be a zombie with a mask, and it was not difficult to deal with the bronze mirror with the corpse by his side, but now this thing appears in its real body, which makes people feel extremely numb and weird, and neither of them can tell what this thing is, maybe the bronze mirror can't deal with it at all.

Wu Xin: "Be careful! This thing doesn't have a bit of yin energy, it's a living thing! ”

Shen Jinsan retreated to Wu Xin's side: "Why do you look so familiar, but I just can't remember where I've seen it!" ”

Wu Xin: "Have you ever seen anything like this?" I don't think this thing is a living thing on Earth at all! ”

Shen Jinsan patted his head: "That's right! Come to think of it, this thing is called 'Izumi Ghost'! ”

Wu Xin: "What? Ghost? ”

The spring ghost shook its head from side to side like a rooster and looked at this side, it seemed to have spotted the fiery golden toad, and suddenly arched a few steps back, and let out a baby's crying sound, as if it was a little afraid of the fiery golden toad.

Shen Jinsan: "The spring of the spring, the ghost of the ghost, the spring ghost!" There is a record in the "Nanban Biography", there are also illustrations, the spring ghost is the spirit of water, the Miao people use the living person as a sacrifice to summon the elf, and then use witchcraft to seal it in the human body, as a guardian god to protect the tribe, but every year to sacrifice the living person to it, the mask is the seal, the spring ghost is the most afraid of fire, you can drive it away with fire, you can kill it directly, or take off the mask to release the elf, let it return to nature. ”

Wu Xin: "So evil! Do you have fire on you? ”

Shen Jinsan: "I was so anxious when I went out that I forgot to bring a lighter!" ”

Wu Xin raised the dagger: "A person who smokes can forget to bring a lighter!" The only fire fold is also used in the ancient tomb, so you can only eat according to your ability. ”

Shen Jinsan pointed at the blazing golden toad: "Don't worry!" And as for it, the Izumi ghost seems to be afraid of it. ”

The spring ghost looked at the Blazing Golden Toad, and suddenly dragged his heavy body like a chameleon and slowly climbed forward, shooting out a white liquid from the mask, and then retreated back to its original place, but the stupid toad did not dodge, and let the liquid fall on its back, as soon as the skin of the Blazing Golden Toad touched this liquid, several large blisters immediately appeared, and the blisters quickly burst and flowed pus, and the skin was corroded and leaked out of the muscles and bones below.

Shen Jinsan: "Not good! The liquid spit out by the Izumi ghost seems to be strongly acidic! ”

Wu Xin: "Well, there should still be poison!" Fortunately, I didn't rush up to listen to you just now, if I did, it is estimated that there would not even be any bones left, how could this toad be so stupid, and he wouldn't even dodge! ”

Shen Jinsan: "It's not that it doesn't hide, it probably can't dodge!" ”

I saw the Blazing Golden Toad quickly crawling towards the Spring Ghost, and the Spring Ghost continued to spray liquid while retreating, but its body was too heavy, and it couldn't get up on the ground after a few steps back, and its stomach looked a lot smaller, probably filled with these white acids.

At this moment, the Blazing Golden Toad was almost covered with acid, only one eye and the small half of the body were still clean, and the other parts were already blurred with flesh and blood, but it climbed faster and faster and caught up with the Spring Ghost, and suddenly the Blazing Golden Toad kicked its hind legs, jumped on the back of the Spring Ghost, and buckled the skin and flesh of the Spring Ghost with its sharp claws, only to see the Blazing Golden Toad trembling rapidly, and a large amount of pale yellow paste was secreted from the skin, including the bare muscles.

The spring ghost was terrified, its neck was too thick to turn its head, it shook its head and sprayed acid indiscriminately, and tried to prop up its limbs but failed, so it had to struggle and writhe in place, and the paste on the fiery golden toad's body dripped onto the back of the spring ghost, and the skin of the spring ghost also began to be corroded rapidly.

"Wow! Wow! Wow! ……”

The fountain ghost began to scream at a time, and no matter how it turned around, the claws of the fiery golden toad were still tightly clasped on its back.

Gradually, the spring ghost stood still, and the blazing golden toad also turned into a pool of thick blood, almost melting the body of the spring ghost, and a faint fishy smell floated from the direction of the spring ghost on the river beach, and the creatures in the water suddenly became a mess, and many of them jumped out of the water, and even jumped onto the shore.

Shen Jinsan: "It is estimated that the water spirit in the body of the spring ghost has been released, and the river will be so chaotic." ”

Wu Xin: "It's a pity, the Blazing Golden Toad died with the Spring Ghost in order to save us!" ”

Shen Jinsan smiled: "Don't you still want to catch it and sell it for money!" This is called that everything has a spirit, and maybe it will be returned in the next life! Let's go, let's go downstream, and there is a greater possibility of finding a way out. ”

Wu Xin: "What kind of place do you think it will be?" It won't be connected to the city's sewer pipes! ”

Shen Jinsan: "No, it must be a very hidden place, otherwise this place would have been discovered a long time ago." ”

Coming to the Blazing Golden Toad, except for a large pool of pus and blood, everything else was almost unrecognizable, Shen Jinsan knelt down and kowtowed.

"Thank you, brother! I don't know why you are working so hard for me, I hope you can live freely in the next life and no longer be trapped by people! ”
