Sudden change and loss of friends

Wraiths trade lives for lives

"Brother Tianyi, what did you mean by what you just said? Isn't Brother Yong here? Hearing my words, Xiaomei on the side unconsciously held the handle of the tiger tooth dagger beside her. Is it ......?"

I didn't answer Xiaomei's question, at this time, I just stared at the "Zhang Chengyong" in front of me, and after a while, I said word by word: "You may be able to fool Xiaomei, but you can't fool me!" ”

I have spoken a total of fifteen words, but in the moment of these fifteen words, I have already made sixteen swords. Although I have not undergone professional combat training, as a military fan, coupled with my martial arts skills since childhood, my ability to fight in close combat is still quite good, sixteen knives, each knife is aimed at Zhang Chengyong's key point.

However, although I attacked quickly, Zhang Chengyong was not slow to dodge. Although this guy was seriously injured in the leg, he did not move slowly, and just when I was about to stab him under his left rib with my last knife, "Zhang Chengyong" suddenly did a backflip, and then kicked the ground hard with both feet, and the whole person turned over and hung on a virgin bronze corpse not far away.

"Zhang Chengyong" didn't speak, he just looked at me quietly, his eyes emitted a strange and weird red light, suddenly, he grinned the corners of his mouth and "giggled", the corners of his mouth opened at an extremely exaggerated angle, as if a crack reached the root of the ear, at the same time, a sharp white teeth were also revealed.

Although he was laughing, it sounded like a woman's laughter, like a night owl wailing, and the voice was hoarse, shrill and full of a breathtaking sense of friction, and the hairs on my whole body couldn't help but stand upside down.

"I didn't expect you to be able to see through me! Looks like I'm underestimating you! The guy hanging on the bronze corpse said with a grin, it's good that it doesn't speak, and when it speaks, it can't help but make people's scalps tingle.

"Where did Brother Yong go when you arrested him?" Xiaomei on the side asked anxiously.

"Hahahaha!" This guy was laughing again, the half-male laughter sounded worse than crying, he laughed as if people were quickly plugging their ears, but the sound seemed to go straight to the eardrum through the nerves in the brain, making my mind woody and my ears hurt.

"Your friend, that guy named Zhang Chengyong is here! But you can't see him! The guy continued.

"You had the opportunity to kill us directly! Why are you doing all this now? I asked, looking at him.

"Haha! Good question! The guy suddenly let go of the hand that had been grasping the bronze corpse, and then a gust of wind swept through his armpits.

When the wind came, I subconsciously covered my eyes with my hands, and when I opened my eyes again, the "Zhang Chengyong" in front of me had become another person, more precisely, it was not a person, but a human-shaped, two-meter-long, large-sized clothes moth!

"What? Didn't expect the Moth Man to be able to speak? Hahaha! "This guy likes to laugh very much, he seems to know that his laughter has a special power, he likes to see the fear of others, and naturally he prefers to appreciate the feeling when he brings pain to others.

"You haven't answered my words yet!" I looked at this guy and said.

"To be honest, you are the first person in so many years to see me and be able to stay calm, and I have to admire you for this!" The Mothman muttered, "In that case, we might as well play a game!" Hahaha! Very few people come to this place, and if I do, I'll kill you all at once, and I'll be bored for a long time! ”

This guy spoke in a peculiar tone and voice, it didn't feel like our accent, and it looked like a foreigner who had just learned to speak, with a big tongue, and he didn't know many words very clearly, but it didn't delay me from understanding what he meant.

"Playing games? Could it be that a big moth still plays games? I looked at him and smiled.

I also like to laugh, especially when I'm nervous, because laughter is sometimes not only a powerful weapon for relaxation, but also the best weapon to provoke your opponent and discourage your opponent's self-confidence.

And once your opponent is provoked by you, after a war of life and death, he will make mistakes, and once he makes mistakes, then you will naturally be the one who survives.

Isn't this truth very simple, of course everyone understands this truth, but there are very few people who can do it.

But, fortunately, I understand the truth of this, and I also know how to make this guy in front of me angry at this time.

So, after seeing my smile and hearing my words, the already ugly face of the moth man in front of me became even more hideous in an instant, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Moth? Who is the moth? Who do you say is a large moth? ”

"Aren't you? Am I not doing it? "I'm still smiling, and I'm laughing a lot.

"You...... You ......" The moth man wanted to say something, but his face became extremely distorted because of anger, and his eyes became even more blood-red because of anger, and after a while, he suddenly laughed and laughed: "Hahahaha! I find that I admire you more and more! ”

"Oh? Admire me? Why? I looked at him and said.

"You deliberately want to provoke me and make me make a mistake so that you have a chance to defeat me and save your friends! You're really good, you can still be so calm in such a situation, I have to admire this point! The Mothman laughed. However, there are two things you need to understand......

"Oh? Which two points? I asked.

"First of all, we weren't born this way, you see, we're just cursed souls. Hahahaha! The Mothman said.

"What's more?" I asked as I watched him try to keep a smile.

"Another thing, if you want your friend to live, you have to play this game according to my rules. You don't need to worry, though, I don't want to kill you yet. After all, you're the only person who's had the courage to play this game with me in decades. The Mothman said with a grin.

"Oh? In that case, I don't seem to have any reason to say no! I said with a deliberate sigh.

"Of course you don't! Unless you want your friend to die in front of you. The Mothman said.

"In that case, shouldn't I hear what kind of game it is?" I asked, looking at the Mothman.

"It's a very simple game, I want you to go into the tomb, find a few things to come out, and then bring them out in one piece, and give them to me, in exchange for your friends, it's as simple as that." The Mothman said.

"It's not like a game, it's like a deal." I said.

"You can say whatever you want, but if you win this game, you will win the life of your friend, and if you lose, you will naturally lose your own life. You can call it a transaction, you can say it's a gamble, and of course, it can be a game. The moth man said and flew to a bronze corpse, and wiped it lightly on the face of the copper corpse, half of the original copper water-covered face was suddenly revealed, and the person inside was suddenly Zhang Chengyong, "Your friend is here." He won't be able to die for a while, and whether he can save his life in the end depends on whether you can bring back what I want. ”

"What do you want?" I looked at the mothman and asked word by word.

"I want a jar! A black jar, this jar is just below the coffin of Yuk! If you have the ability to go into his main chamber and take out the black jar, I will not only return your friend to you, but I will also be greatly rewarded. The Moth Man was suddenly a little excited when he said this, he tried to control his emotions, and after a long time, he said slowly: "I can help you enter the tomb, as for the rest, you have to rely on yourself." ”

"Why don't you go yourself?" Xiaomei, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly said at this time.

"You don't need to ask about this!" The Moth Man interrupted Xiaomei's words, and then continued: "Your friend only has twelve hours to live, the longer you delay, the more dangerous he will be, the entrance to the underground palace is under the wooden coffin behind you, as for when to leave, you can decide for yourself!" After saying that, the moth man suddenly shook his wings a few times, and a gust of wind hit him again, which made me and Xiaomei hurriedly turn our heads to avoid it.

And when Xiaomei and I turned around again, the moth man had long since disappeared, and the only thing left was the voice that was fading away, "There are a lot of ghosts in the tomb, look at the heart and don't look at the road!" Remember! Remember! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xiaomei kept repeating the last words of the Moth Man and muttered.

"I don't know!" I said with a smile.

"You can still laugh at this time?" Xiaomei frowned and said, at the same time, she looked at the bronze corpse where Zhang Chengyong was trapped for a long time, and muttered: "Brother Tianyi, do you think we can't rush over and get that bronze corpse down, and then, rescue Yong?" ”

"No way!" I looked at the wooden coffin in front of me and said lightly.

"Why?" Xiaomei asked.

"Because Lao Zhang is not there at all!" I said coldly.

"Not in that bronze corpse? However, you also saw it just now...... Brother Yong, isn't he just ......," Xiaomei wondered.

"Those were all illusions! It's a mental illusion! That guy just wants us to see Lao Zhang alive, but Lao Zhang is not there at all! If you rush over and get that bronze corpse down at this time, it is estimated that Lao Zhang's life will not be saved!" I looked at Xiaomei and said, "When I was talking to that guy just now, I secretly pinched my thigh a few times, judging from the physical pain, the pain is very weak, indicating that both of us have been hit by some kind of mental illusion, and this illusion is very strong, and we didn't return to normal until he left." ”

"Illusion? I probably see what you mean, it's like those who are fascinated by the yellow-skinned and the fox fairy. It's just that he wants us to do things for him now, so it's just a certain degree of illusion on us mentally. Xiaomei nodded and said.

"That's right!" I said.

"Then if he asked us to find something for him, why didn't he go there himself?" Xiaomei asked.

"Maybe it's because of that!" While Xiaomei was asking, I had already untied the chains tied to the wooden coffin and lifted the lid of the coffin covered with incantations. And the moment I lifted the lid, a wind mixed with decay and stench blew out of it. It turned out that under the lid of this wooden coffin, it was not the princely general of a certain dynasty who was lying down, but a staircase that extended downward, a staircase leading to the underground palace, and in the coffin wall of this wooden coffin, as well as on both sides of the stairs of the tomb road, a liquid glowing green was filled with strange words, which were exactly the same as the words outside the coffin, which were obviously used to suppress some kind of resentful spirit.

"You're saying that's what the guy is afraid of?" Xiaomei looked at the incantations inside and said.

"Hmmm! Perhaps these spells are not used to suppress the spirits, but to prevent them from entering the tomb, and it seems that there should be a lot of secrets hidden in it! ”

With that, I jumped into the coffin and walked down the stone steps of the tomb.
