Chapter 7: The Phantom of the Xu Mansion (4)

"Squad leader, squad leader, you don't matter, right? The face is so pale! Jane shook my shoulder.

I shook my head vigorously, and the voices that were making my heart flutter finally disappeared.

I looked at Jane, who was close to my body, her eyes shining, like a layer of glittering silver; She was looking at me with concern, and a wisp of the delicate scent of acacia flowers lingered on the tip of my nose.

I cheered up and said, "Little Jane, the situation is so bad now, we can't be suspicious!" …… If we don't unite, we won't even want to get out of this weird cave! ”

“…… All right! Listen to you first. However, I see that she is uneasy and kind, and I don't know if she will ...... What's going on! Xiao Zhen muttered, her mouth pursed high, and her face was reluctant.

Although I was upset, I was amused by her childish cuteness. I raised my right hand, habitually trying to pat her on the shoulder, but she suddenly shrank to the left, just past my hand.

I was stunned, but she grimaced at me: "Nasty! Squad leader, why do you always like to shoot me, one day I will be photographed by you as a shorty! ”

I was stunned again, then lowered my head, and when I looked up again, my expression had regained calm: "Okay! Let's go. ”

The four of us walked forward silently, each with our own thoughts. After walking for a while, Chen Qiu in front of him stopped suddenly, and then he heard Xu Lan scream.

I hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Neither of them answered me, and in fact there was no need to answer, because by the light in Chen Qiu's hand, I had already seen clearly, and there was another path in front of us! The original road still stretches along the cave, and to its right, a winding path silently unfolds in front of us, leading to an even more unknowable end.

I stared blankly at this strange path, and after a long time, I slowly turned to the other three and said, "It seems that we are destined to be divided into two teams and try our luck!" …… Chen Qiu, you have to find a way to divide the 'lantern' in your hand into two, you and Xu Lan continue to walk the main road, and Xiao Zhen and I will take this small road! ”

Xu Lan shook her head again and again: "Squad leader, let's not care about this path, let's take the big road together!" ”

"No! Since there are two ways out, none of us can afford to give up! …… Perhaps, the two roads will have two different endings! "I'm very resolute.

Chen Qiu looked at me deeply, and his cold face revealed a rather strange expression, mixed with reluctance, blame, anger, desolation, and helplessness. Such a vivid expression, which had never appeared on her face before, made her even more bizarre under the flickering light.

I met her gaze and said lightly: "Chen Qiu, give me a 'lantern'!" …… Don't let it go out halfway through! ”

"Good!" Chen Qiu seemed to have made up his mind, no more, lowered his head and quickly took out a piece of white yarn from the pocket sandwich, stretched out his left hand, and somehow grabbed half of the rolling "light cluster" from the "lantern" held in his right hand, put it into the white yarn, and shook it slightly, the white yarn bulged up like an inflated in an instant, and another "lantern" was ready.

"Chen Qiu, why are you ......" Xu Lan still wanted to dissuade her, but Chen Qiu interrupted her: "The squad leader is right!" If we go with the flow and force it, maybe ...... It's self-defeating! ”

I took the white gauze "lantern" from Chen Qiu's hand, and pretended to pout lightly: "Yes! Maybe Jane and I will find the exit before the two of you! ”

Xu Lan was silent, and there was a lot of confusion in her eyes as she looked at me and Chen Qiu.

"Squad leader, be careful!" Chen Qiu turned a blind eye to Xu Lan's eyes, and instructed me in a steady tone, and at the end, he glanced at Xiao Zhen coldly before he raised the "lantern" in his hand again and walked deeper into the road.

"Follow her!" I smiled brightly and comforted Xu Lan.

Then, I took a deep breath and strode onto the winding path that was as dark as the main road, but more difficult to follow.

I walked in front of the white gauze "lantern", and found that the "lantern" was very light, and the rolling light in it was very bright, and I could see that the winding path was still a little potholed, as if some kind of animal had stepped on it.

Probably because she finally got rid of Chen Qiu, Xiao Zhen's mood was very relaxed, and she walked behind me lightly.

After walking a little way, I suddenly exclaimed, "Ouch, is my neck bleeding again?" Why does it hurt so much? ”

"No, it won't! …… Let me take a look! I turned around, and Jane leaned closer to my neck to take a closer look.

My gaze quickly swept over her back and shoulders, and finally stopped at her lovely face, and I smelled the familiar scent of acacia flowers in my nose, elegant and fresh. Her eyes were big and bright, and the starlight in the sky seemed to be swaying in her eyes, so bright that even the peculiar white gauze "lantern" could not be compared!

I looked at her, with an almost doting smile flashing in my eyes, as if I was reminiscing about the past, and I wanted to open my mouth several times, but I seemed to be reluctant. If time could freeze, I would like to stand still in this moment forever.

"It's not bleeding! Squad leader, how's it going? Does it still hurt a lot? Jane asked with great concern.

I didn't rush to answer her, but as if I had been awakened from a dream, I blinked my eyes suddenly, took a big step back, raised my head, and looked at the road I came from, silent and chaotic, the darkness swallowed everything, and I couldn't see the shadows of Chen Qiu and Xu Lan anymore.

After a while, I said lightly: "Really? Maybe it's not my neck hurting, it's my heart hurting! ”

Xiao Zhen said in surprise: "Squad leader, what are you talking about?" ”

"I mean, it's just the two of us here, so you don't have to pretend anymore!" My tone was unusually calm, without any waves, "You're not Xiao Zhen at all!" ”

"What? I'm not Jane?! Squad leader, what's wrong with you? Dizzy! Xiao Zhen was stunned and immediately burst out laughing.

I looked at her coldly: "Funny? If you are Xiao Zhen, how can you have the fragrance of acacia flowers on your body? …… Jane is severely allergic to flowers and floral fragrances, and never wants to touch a little! ”

I raised my right hand and touched the handkerchief around my neck: "And the ...... who attacked me in the darkness just now thing, but with the fragrance of acacia flowers that is incompatible with its ferocity! ”

The laughter stopped abruptly, and the "little Jane" in front of me looked me up and down in disbelief: "Unexpectedly, you have become smarter now, and you are getting bolder and bolder!" ”

My heart moved, and I listened to its tone as if I knew me before, but in my impression, I had never seen the white jade gluttony of Xu Lan's family before!

She and I stared at each other coldly, nervous, what could it be? If it's really that white jade gluttony, then what exactly does it want? Countless thoughts raced through my mind, racking my brain to think about how to solve this big problem in front of me!

"Don't waste your energy! What can you do with me? She seemed to see through my thoughts, and actually stretched out very gracefully, and looked at me with a smile, her big crystal eyes full of arrogance and mockery, the corners of her mouth slightly curved upwards showed disdain, and her shrill voice had the comfort of a cat playing with a little mouse under her claws.

"Humph! So what are you waiting for? Manifest your original form! Don't dare? I'm afraid it's too ugly to see people! I'd love to see what you've changed! I tried to provoke her by saying mean words, but I quietly took a few steps back, staring at her intently, in case she would attack me in anger.

Her expression changed, and her eyes shot with a fierce and vicious murderous intent, as if she was about to pounce on me and tear me to pieces.

But in an instant, she actually relaxed, smiled lazily and said, "Oh, you are really similar to that Chen Qiu, aggressive, sharp, so that I almost lost my demeanor!" But, in my opinion, she's not a good person! …… Anyway, you can't escape from my palm, so why should I be in a hurry? Now I want to hear how you saw through me? Do I have any other flaws besides the scent on my body? ”

Slightly relieved, I already had a cold sweat on my back. I unconsciously swapped the white gauze "lantern" I was holding in my left hand to my right hand, and said with a slight irony, "Of course." Jane likes to pat people on the shoulder the most, because her grandmother often told her that patting her shoulder can keep you fit and drive away bad luck, so every time she is unhappy, we will pat her on the shoulder and comfort her. But you said, 'You always like to shoot me, and one day I'll be photographed by you as a shorty!' At that time, I knew that you were not Xiao Zhen! ”

"Ahem, anything else?" She was embarrassed, as if she were a painter who wanted perfection and was confronted with the flaws in her proud paintings.

For some reason, the uneasiness and fear in my heart increased suddenly, and the palm of my right hand holding the "lantern" began to burn, perhaps because I felt the hidden uneasiness in my heart, and the light in the white gauze "lantern" began to roll and flicker frequently.

“…… And even earlier, when you said that Chen Qiu was not a normal person, you used to be close to me, and under the bright light of the 'lantern', I saw your eyes! …… Xiao Zhen's eyes are very big and beautiful, but if she were a human, no matter how big her eyes were, they couldn't be so bright, and they were shining with a faint green light! What's more, I ...... I can clearly see your pupils, and under the strong light, they shrink into a vertical line up and down! ”

These words, I blurted out without thinking, but a thought suddenly flashed in my heart: Isn't this the characteristic of animals with glow-in-the-dark eyes? Could it be ...... I opened my eyes wide and shouted, "You're not...... You, you're ......"

"Hehe, we're old friends! You finally remembered? She stretched out her tongue and licked her lips, and looked at me with a smile as if she were looking at a lover, her eyes fluttering like spring water, and her eyes were full of charm.

I stepped back step by step, my body shaking uncontrollably. In a panic, my back hit the cave wall hard, my bones seemed to be broken, and the "lantern" I was holding in my hand was also shaken.

In front of me, although the smiling "Xiao Zhen" was still standing, my eyes seemed to penetrate the void, projecting the rainy night three years ago, lightning and thunder, heavy rain, a snow-white cat elegantly and neatly knocked on the window, its eyes, one green, the other blue, sharp and huge claws in the dark night flashing dazzling cold light......

"She" tilted her head, her eyes flashing blue and green, and looked at me with a nightmarish look of satisfaction.

"Alright, now it's game over! Get your stuff out! "She" was still smiling, but the hands that stretched out their sleeves had already appeared in the shape of claws, and the sharp claws grew little by little.

"What's that? I didn't! I yelled.

"Humph! I don't know what to do! "She" shook her sharp claws.

No wonder "she" refuses to hold my hand and always pulls my sleeve! Somehow, looking at "her" getting longer and longer claws, I didn't expect to turn around and run away, and such a thought actually jumped out of my mind, it was just stupid!

"Get it out!" "She" stretched out her left paw and grabbed at my neck with a thud.

I didn't have time to jump away, so I squatted down on the ground, my claws missing.

"Oh, you're a lot quicker!" The shrill voice was playful.

I just stood up, this time with both claws together, aiming at my neck. I nervously grabbed the white gauze "lantern" and tried my best to rush to the side. Although I haven't been caught by those claws for a while, it's only a matter of time, who has ever seen a little mouse that can escape from the claws of a hustleman?

"She" probably thought so, so she grabbed the air twice, but she was not in a hurry, and actually brushed her hair with her paws and shook her body gracefully.

I was anxious and angry, frightened and angry, the blood all over my body seemed to rush to the top of my head, and my right hand grasping the "lantern" was even more hot as if it was about to smoke. "She" flicked her paw and turned sideways to give me the final blow.

In the midst of the lightning, I caught a glimpse of a golden glow on the back of her shoulder, and at the same time, I heard someone shouting, "Throw it with a 'lantern'!" ”

The palm of my right hand was already burning as if it was about to melt, and before I had time to think about it, I threw it with all my might, and the fluttering white gauze "lantern" hit "her" in the chest like a divine help.

With a "bang", the "lantern" exploded, and countless points of light pounced on "her" body, like a little flame ignited. "She" was startled, and instinctively shook her body, trying to shake the light off. With a "whoop", a large cluster of golden flames rose from the back shoulders of "her", and in an instant, "her" entire back, chest, and hair were surrounded by this golden flame!

"She" let out a bitter and angry howl, and with a roll of her body, "Little Jane" was gone, replaced by a snow-white, flaming cat! I saw a devouring light in its blue and green eyes, and it rolled desperately on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on its body.

However, this golden flame mixed with a little fluorescent flame is very strange, no matter how it rolls, it will not be extinguished, and it will become more and more vigorous. It seemed to be unable to hold on, and let out a long cry of terrible sorrow, in which it suddenly struggled, as if it had taken off a coat, and then leapt into the air, and finally disappeared into the darkness.

I still stood in the same position as I threw the lantern, the palm of my right hand was blood-red, and the flame-shaped burn showed a faint golden light.

"Squad leader, are you scared silly? …… It didn't hurt you again, did it? "Xu Lan and Chen Qiu miraculously appeared in front of me.

"You ...... What do you ......?" I immediately guessed that they were afraid that I would be in danger, so they gave up the main road and took the small road, so that they could come to my aid at the critical moment!

I jumped up ecstatically and hugged Xu Lan, "We finally beat it away!" …… Haha, that dead cat, this time it was unlucky, it was almost cooked! ”

Xu Lan was also very happy, and said with a smile: "Yes! You see, that path is also gone, and we are finally out of trouble! ”

Sure enough, under the light of another "lantern" in Chen Qiu's hand, it can be seen that we have returned to the place where we parted ways just now, and the path that appeared bizarrely disappeared out of thin air!

"Great! It's okay now! I proudly hugged Xu Lan and turned around, "That dead cat is tricky, and the thief shouts to catch the thief, thanks to my cleverness, otherwise I would have been deceived by the dead cat!" ”

"Alas, you are so smart!" Chen Qiu's voice was full of bitterness and helplessness, Xu Lan and I were both shocked, and turned around together, Chen Qiu's face was not happy, and there was panic in his eyes.

"What's wrong with you? Am I ...... Shouldn't you run away from the white cat that has been playing tricks? I remembered her strange words and deeds against "Xiao Zhen" and the strange "lantern" before, and I was shocked: Could it be that she is also here to harm us as "Xiao Zhen" said?

"Do you know what it means to be the lesser of two evils?" Chen Qiu asked with a sigh.

"You know, that is to say, compare the two harms, and choose the one with less harm." Although Xu Lan's attitude towards Chen Qiu was also very puzzled, she still answered truthfully.

"Yes! But now, the light harm has been ...... We removed! ”

"What do you mean?" Xu Lan and I glanced at each other, both with doubts on our faces.

"You think we're out of the woods?" Chen Qiu shook the "lantern" in his hand.

Neither of us answered, our eyes were looking straight at her, as if to ask rhetorically, didn't we?

"If everything before was just the white cat playing tricks, then now, it has been badly injured and escaped, shouldn't we stand leisurely in front of the rockery and enjoy the scenery? Why are you still in this weird tunnel? …… Xu Lan, where is your grandmother? What about my aunt? What about the white jade gluttony? ”

A series of questions made Xu Lan and I speechless. We turned our heads to look around, and the dark and gloomy cave was still the same, and we didn't know what murder was hidden that made our hearts tremble.

"So what do we do now? Can't always ...... Sit back and wait, right? "I don't think it's appropriate, but I'm still a little unimpressed.

Chen Qiu just wanted to answer, but Xu Lan suddenly listened and said, "Shhhhhh Did you hear that? There seems to be some sound! ”

I listened suspiciously, and really, there was a sound of "grunt, grunt" coming from the entrance of the cave like a cauldron of boiling water.

"Hey, what's that thing that's making noise?" I asked Chen Qiu as I touched my eyes with my hand, and my eyelids kept jumping.

Chen Qiu smiled bitterly: "Ask me? I'm not a god, how do I know! ”

I remembered that when I walked into the door of the Xujia Stone Cave, she once said that there was something terrible waiting for me inside, and I said I didn't care at that time! Now, alas, what a prophecy!

"Squad leader, what should I do? The voice is getting closer and closer to us! Xu Lan's expression became panicked.

I stubbornly said, "Don't be afraid, maybe it's just ...... The goldfish in your fish pond are fighting, so ...... That's why the sound of water came over! ”

Xu Lan looked at me with wide eyes in surprise.

Chen Qiu looked at me with a ridiculous expression and said, "Goldfish fight? Alas, squad leader, it's a shame that you can figure it out! ”

My face flushed, and I was about to defend myself, but I saw Chen Qiu's face suddenly change drastically.

She listened carefully with her ear, stroked her mutilated right hand with her left hand, and commanded us in a loud voice: "Run!" Then she ran towards the depths of the cave without looking back, and Xu Lan and I didn't know why, so we had to follow one after the other.

While running, I asked unwillingly, "Hey, what's wrong?" Do you know...... What was the sound coming from? …… Why don't you answer me? ”

At this time, Xu Lan's exclamation came from behind him: "Oh my God! So much...... Water! Is it really a fish pond......?"

I thought it was funny, and I looked back and said, "No, you're stupid too?" How can the water in the fish pond ......" My voice stopped abruptly, and the person froze.

More than ten meters away, there was a "large ball of water" making a low and terrible "gurgling" sound, slowly but without pause, moving closer to us. The sound grew louder and louder, so much so that the walls of the cave echoed as well. It's getting closer, and it's getting clearer.

It is called "water" because it does give us the sensation of water waves flowing; It is described as "a big mass" because it looks like a huge bag, which contains a lot of things, not only can you see aquatic plants, stones, stones, mud and sand, and even many panicked goldfish swimming around!

"OMG! What is it? Where is it so big...... Lump of water? "My eyes are already wide like brass bells.

"And study a fart! …… You want to be swallowed by it?! Come on! Chen Qiu, who turned back, knocked me the head, and then pulled Xu Lan up and ran away. I came to my senses and ran as hard as I could.

The three of us ran forward as hard as we could, not daring to take a break, for as soon as we slowed down and showed our exhaustive fatigue, the low, terrible grunt would come to our ears like a furious monster screaming like a raging monster that would shatter our eardrums.

There was nothing we could do, we could only be driven by it, and we kept running forward, sweat dripping down our foreheads, and into our eyes and mouths, salty and astringent, and we didn't care to wipe them; The clothes inside were soaked, and it was stuffy and hot wrapped around the body. Our throats seemed to be torn apart, and we only heard the intermittent gasping sound of "snorting, snorting", and our heads seemed to have swelled several times, so heavy that we couldn't lift them, and there was only a white light shaking in front of us, and nothing else could be seen clearly.

The cave stretched out quietly, and we had been hoping to finish it quickly, but now, we secretly prayed: God forbid! This cave had better never end!

However, God often does not fulfill people's wishes! We were running wildly, Chen Qiu at the front suddenly stopped, Xu Lan and I were unprepared, and we tried to restrain our feet, but we fell into a mess in embarrassment.

"Dry ...... Why stop? Don't say it first...... Boom! Fall to your death...... Human! I was so tired that I couldn't get up, so I simply sat on the ground with my head down, rubbed my forehead and threw out a big bag, complained breathlessly, and suddenly realized: "Oops! …… Back, back, back......"

"Let's take a look ahead!"

I looked up when I heard the sound, but I saw that Xu Lan had already climbed up, and Chen Qiu and Chen Qiu were standing in a daze, looking straight ahead. I looked over too, and wow! In front of it is a large bluestone, and a whole stone fills the cave to the brim, as if it grows in the cave, and there is not even a trace of gap!

"Bang la, bang lala......" The originally low voice became high-pitched, and the "big ball of water" behind seemed to know that we had no way to escape, stirring excitedly, mud and sand and stones rolled wildly, and the turbid mud continued to splash out, and some goldfish with rotten intestines were thrown to the ground, twitching, making the last struggle, and the tail slapped the ground in vain, making a "pop" sound, which made people even more frightened.

I don't know where I got the strength, I got up from the ground with a bone, and we slowly retreated until our backs were tightly pressed against the bluestone, and there was nowhere to retreat!

I smiled wryly and said loudly: "The book of life says that I am a 'dragon without water', but now it's okay, God has sent so much water...... It's just that there is a little more mud, otherwise you can go in and swim! ”

Xu Lan finally burst into tears: "It's all me...... Not good! Whining...... I'm going to invite you to play and make it like this......"

I turned my head and sighed, "Are you really stupid?" …… It's simply not something we can control! ”

Xu Lan cried even more sadly, and I couldn't comfort her anymore, so I had to go to see Chen Qiu again, her brows were deeply locked, her hand holding the white gauze "lantern" kept shaking, her face was uncertain, she looked angry and desolate, and she was very unwilling in her helplessness, as if there was something that made her unable to choose!

I looked at her, my heart moved, although all this was uncontrollable, but I felt that Chen Qiu was not very surprised, could it be that she already knew what was dealing with us? Yes, she said that "the lesser of two evils" means that she not only knew that there were two sides dealing with us, but also knew that the strength of the two sides was weak!

My mind has never been sharper and clearer than it is now, if one side is the white cat, then who will the other side be? What is their purpose? Or rather, what are they going to snatch from us? Is it a white jade gluttonous image?

Sensing my burning gaze, Chen Qiu turned his head and glanced back at me and Xu Lan, as if he had finally made up his mind.

"Let us out now, or no one will want to get it!" Chen Qiu stared coldly at the "water" approaching us, and slowly took out something from his jacket pocket with his right hand.

Xu Lan stopped crying, and I opened my eyes nervously.

Yes? Xu Lan and I couldn't help but shout, Chen Qiu didn't take out the white jade gluttonous statue, it turned out to be the black stone that we had long forgotten! Under the bright and flickering "lantern", this black stone flows with a layer of jade lustre, which makes people can't help but feel a little warm.

As soon as Chen Qiu took out the stone, his expression immediately became cold and calm. She held the stone in her right hand, and her mutilated thumb gently rubbed the corner of the stone, as if a loving mother was caressing her beloved child, but her gaze was sharp and cold, giving the impression that the stone would be crushed into powder at any moment.

The large mass of "water" froze in front of us, and although it had no facial features, it stared at us viciously as if it was already conscious. After a moment of stalemate, the "water" suddenly became furious, and it spun rapidly, and the mud and stones that were even more turbid slammed into the left wall of the cave with the tremendous force of the swirling......

Xu Lan and I hugged each other helplessly, closing our eyes, ready to withstand the loud impact and the large boulder that might collapse. However, there was no movement as expected.

Xu Lan and I opened our eyes in surprise, huh? We actually stood in front of the rockery, looking at the skylight, it seemed that it was already dawn, the dawn was beginning to dew, the thin morning mist was floating in wisps, and the "Shuitai Lake" stone full of small holes stood quietly, and there was no dark cave on the left; In the fish pond in front, the water is rippling and the microwave is sparkling, and many goldfish are swimming leisurely. If it weren't for the locust tree that fell to the ground, we would have thought that everything was an illusion.

"Oops! Where is Chen Qiu? …… She's going to be in danger! I saw that there was no Chen Qiu figure around, and I was very worried, "Xu Lan, let's hurry up and find her!" ”

"No need! …… The people you're looking for are here! A deep male voice rang out, and five people appeared in front of us at once. It's Grandma Xu, Xu Minshu (Xu Lan's aunt), Aunt Liu, Uncle Tang and ...... The man with Xu Lan's grandfather's face!

I saw Grandma Xu's footsteps floating, her eyes straight, her expression sluggish, and she looked completely lost and depressed, so she hurriedly opened her throat and shouted: "Hey! Who are you? What do you want to do? ”

Still ignoring my lust, the tall, dark-skinned man smiled faintly: "Who am I?" Xiaolan, you won't have forgotten your grandfather, will you? ”

Xu Lan's body trembled, and her face immediately turned pale, but she shook her head very firmly: "You are not my grandfather!" …… My grandfather passed away seven years ago! ”

A melancholy and sentimental smile appeared on the man's resolute face: "Xiaolan, what a silly girl! Grandpa is obviously here, why do you say I'm dead? ”

Xu Lan trembled even more, and she couldn't help but hide behind me.

I guess Xu Lan must be because of this man (person?) The tone and expression of his speech are too similar to her grandfather, but she knows in her heart that he can never be her grandfather, so she is both sad and frightened, but he is still pretending there, really, even I can't stand it!

"Hey! You shameless old monster! I don't know what kind of monster it became...... And stick garlic in that pig's nose - what kind of elephant! Don't look in the mirror, just your ugly face, and you want to pretend to be an adult's grandfather? Hum! I simply scolded, trying to provoke him to tear his face.

He looked at me indifferently, and when I noticed a flash of blood-red light in his eyes, my mind was already in a trance, as if the whole person was shaking, like a small boat jolting in the waves, and in front of me was a large sea of red, which attracted me all the way forward. I don't have time to care about what happened to Xu Lan, because I have melted into the red in a daze, and my body suddenly lost consciousness, only the only trace of consciousness left in my heart is constantly screaming, this situation is similar to the "soul-attracting lamp" that I met the girl in purple back then, "he" is probably also a monster that can take people's souls!

In the windless and rainless sky, a black light suddenly split, and there was a loud "boom", and a sycamore tree next to the rockery was split in half by the black light, and suddenly fell to the ground. The sea of red rolled back like a receding tide and disappeared without a trace. After a whirlwind, I felt that the three souls and seven spirits had finally returned to my body from the whirlpool.

I turned my head around in shock, Xu Lan's face was whiter than white paper, there was deep fear in her eyes, and I almost "hooked my soul" when I thought about it. Chen Qiu silently appeared not far from us, holding the black stone in his hand, staring at "him" with a frosty mask.

"It's you again! …… It's okay, since you want to be stronger, let's catch them all! "He" saw that he had fallen short, and finally became angry, and his originally resolute and heroic face became gloomy and terrifying, and I saw him slowly raise his hands and stretch out to us. It's just an ordinary pair of hands, but as soon as it was stretched out, with a loud sound like a landslide and tsunami, like Mount Tai pressing on the top, it wanted to crush us into meatloaf!

Xu Lan and I didn't know how to react at all, but fortunately there was Chen Qiu, only to see her smile coldly, ignoring the loud noise, stroking the thumb of her right hand with her left hand, and lightly clasping the black stone with the thumb of her right hand, and reciting a long list of strange syllables without pause in her mouth.

The black stone brilliance appeared, and with the syllables in Chen Qiu's mouth, layers of light rippled. This ripple is like a ripple of water, seemingly tangible and substantial, weak and weak, but in fact it is extremely powerful, and the endless power slowly pushes those "hands" away from us. Gradually, this "gentle" light pattern actually rushed towards "him", layering and delicately wrapping his figure, like the charming eye waves of a lover's endless circulation, almost drowning people.

Looking at the glittering black stone in Chen Qiu's hand and the light patterns rushing in, "his" eyes revealed endless greed and strong hatred.

Suddenly, "he" withdrew his hand, and with both hands, he tore all his clothes in half, Xu Lan and I hurriedly closed our eyes, but we heard a long howl, which seemed to be some kind of huge beast howling.
