Chapter Twenty-Four: The Face-Eating Worm Strikes
Dai'er's suddenly convulsed body, which made Chu Cheng at a loss. But then he was horrified to find that Dale's body was rapidly getting cold!
It felt like Dai'er's anger was being sucked away!
"Oops! It's the monster that attacked Dale! Chu Cheng's pupils contracted suddenly, and he saw that from the surface of the hazy and deformed thing, faces suddenly appeared screaming in pain, and one of them was swallowing on Dai'er's little face!
With the swallowing of that face, the tremor of Dale's body suddenly became more intense, and above her miserable white cheeks, another illusory face emerged. The facial features of this face are exactly the same as those of Daile, and they are struggling silently at the moment, as if they are trying to resist something!
"It's ...... Soul Devouring! Chu Cheng reacted instantly, and the thing in front of him ...... It's devouring Dale's soul!
"You have to find a way, or Daile will die!" Fine beads of sweat oozed from Chu Cheng's forehead, he had read a lot of ancient books about monsters, and he knew how terrifying the evil thing that could devour the souls of the living was! If Dale's soul is sucked into her body by that mass of twisted things, it will be ten deaths, and the gods will not be able to save her!
Thinking of this, Chu Cheng simply turned his heart sideways, hugged Dai'er's waist with both hands, and wanted to swap positions with her~ position.
Chu Cheng thought very clearly, doing so could not only push Dai'er away from the monster's attack range, but also liberate his body from Dai'er's uproar, laying the foundation for the next counterattack.
Who knows, the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny. No matter how hard Chu Cheng tried up and down, Dai'er's body seemed to be riveted in place, and she couldn't move a single bit.
"Oops! The body ~ position tactics failed, and you had to think of other ways to do it! Chu Cheng's brain was running wildly, and all kinds of plans flashed in his mind, and he quickly rejected them. In the end, the picture in Chu Cheng's mind was frozen at the moment when he used his blood to force back the blood tide.
"That's right! My blood can push back automata, and maybe it will work wonders for the evil in front of me! Thinking of this, Chu Cheng didn't hesitate anymore. I saw the blade of his right arm pop out violently, and then slashed at his left arm, and the blood-stained blade accelerated with the momentum, turning into a sharp cold light, stabbing fiercely at the monster's illusory and distorted body......
For this blow, Chu Cheng actually didn't have much hope. The monster in front of him, after all, is an aberration at the soul level, and it doesn't even have an entity, and blood may not be effective against it.
Chu Cheng's idea was to at least use this blow to disrupt the devouring process of the monster, and then find an opportunity to rescue Dai'er......
Who knows, the result of the matter was greatly beyond Chu Cheng's expectations! With the sound of "whoosh" as if a red-hot shovel piercing into butter, the monster's illusory and distorted body was really pierced by Chu Cheng's arm blade.
In the next second, the painful and distorted human face on the surface of the monster suddenly let out a terrible scream, and the main body of its body also became illusory as if it had been hit hard. With a piercing scream, the monster's body shook for a moment, and then rushed straight out of the tent, disappearing directly from Chu Cheng's field of vision.

"My Blood...... So fierce! And also...... Hurt 'delusion'!? Isn't that real? Chu Cheng was also a little stunned by the sudden change at this moment. He had read some ancient books, and the way of nature, an evil thing that could devour the souls of living people, generally had no material substance, but it was the first time he had heard of the words 'real' and 'false'.
"Could it be...... Is this what is called an anomaly? It's scary enough! Thinking of this, Chu Cheng couldn't help but be afraid for a while, this thing is basically dead when others encounter it, if it weren't for his blood just restraining it, he and Dai'er might not be able to escape!
The temperature inside is gradually rising, and the cold that was permeating before is also gone, as if the whole tent is back to the world. At this moment, Dai'er's body in her arms suddenly twitched slightly. Chu Cheng felt that Dai'er's originally cold body was gradually warming up, and then becoming a little hot.
"This girl, it can't be a fever, right?" Chu Cheng was suddenly a little worried, and hurriedly held Dai'er's face with both hands and shook it nervously. Who knew that Dai'er's body was unresponsive, just like a well-behaved doll, at the mercy of Chu Cheng.
Dai'er's face was almost close to Chu Cheng at the moment, her pure cheeks had a strange blush and charm, and her curled and long eyelashes trembled slightly with Chu Cheng's gentle shaking.
Could it be that the attack just suffered has left some sequelae?
Chu Cheng thought so, and at this moment, Dai'er suddenly opened her eyes slowly. She looked at Chu Cheng with a confused look, maybe she had just walked on the edge of life and death, and was frightened, little Lori suddenly threw herself into Chu Cheng's arms and cried.
Seeing that Dai'er seemed to be fine, Chu Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, that monster has been repelled by me, and, uh, that ...... I'll take care of it. Seeing that Dai'er was crying more and more sad, Chu Cheng was also a little unbearable, and hurriedly comforted.
"Who is responsible for you! Don't think you can take it off too! When Dai'er heard this, she cried even more sadly.
Seeing that Dai'er cried more and higher decibels, Chu Cheng was also a little overwhelmed. It took about two or three minutes of crying before Dale's crying gradually stopped.
"Just ...... Thank you for saving me! Daile's voice was very light and soft, as if she was praying for something, "Also, today's thing...... Can you keep it a secret for me? ”
When Chu Cheng heard this, how dare he refuse, and hurriedly nodded his head like pounding garlic, saying that he would definitely keep it secret.
Who knows, before Chu Cheng's determination was finished, the curtain of the tent was suddenly opened.
"Chu Cheng, I just heard the cry, are you okay here......" Bi Bin's honest voice sounded from the entrance of the tent, and then stopped abruptly, and the tower-like figure stayed directly in place.
"Bi Bin, you listen to me ......" Chu Cheng reacted very quickly, hurriedly pushed the little Lori in his arms away, and immediately got out of bed and walked in front of Bi Bin. As for Dai'er behind him, she let out a scream, and the whole person went directly into the quilt.
"Uh, sorry to bother...... Or do you want to continue? Bi Bin was stunned at the door for two seconds, and suddenly stretched out his hand to interrupt Chu Cheng, who was about to speak, with an expression of "I understand, you don't need to explain" on his face.
God continues!
When Chu Cheng heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that everything was over.
"Uh, is it over? It feels like it's ...... It's a bit fast. Bi Bin glanced at Dai'er in the quilt, then looked at Chu Cheng with sympathetic eyes, and said hesitantly after half a sound, "I suggest you change a few more positions, so that you can prolong the time...... Also, mindset is important......"
"Get out!" Before Bi Bin finished speaking, he was interrupted by the roar under the little Lori's quilt.
"This girl's temper is still as bad as ever." Bi Bin said, patting Chu Cheng's shoulder vigorously, "But you still have a long life, I wish you ...... Love over time! ”
After Bi Bin finished speaking, he laughed and walked out of the tent, leaving only Chu Cheng and the air looking at each other.
Chu Cheng: ???
God is so long-lasting!
