Chapter 8 Chapter 143 Enter the Eighteenth Floor
"Jia Xin, I'm on the seventeenth floor. How long will it take? Zhang Chen relied on his stronger and stronger induction, and successfully transmitted the sound to Jia Xin after reinforcing it with spiritual power.
"Brother Zhang Chen, it may take us about half an hour to come down." However, it was the insect firefly who replied, and established a connection with the chrysalis that lived in Zhang Chen's body.
"Okay, you guys better be careful on the way down, I'll have something to tell you when you come to the seventeenth floor."
In this shielding environment, it consumes both mental and mental power, and Zhang Chen ended the conversation concisely. He was not in a hurry and took advantage of the current time to take a break, but shifted his attention to the origin weapon he obtained, which made Zhang Chen's eyes light up.
"It seems that this origin weapon is even rarer than the soul marrow weapon, and it must have been formed by extreme accident when Lin Guoyun was only three years old, after being cut into his chest by his father's butcher knife. The negative shadow in his heart caused by his parents' quarrel for three years is related to the butcher's knife at this time, rather than the soul marrow weapon derived after becoming a ghost. ”
Since the origin of the butcher knife is conveniently related to flesh, or only flesh. Before Lin Guoyun's murder of his father was revealed, the butcher's knife was of no use except for 'cutting flesh and staining blood'. If Zhang Chen wasn't related to the Blood Demon, it would be absolutely impossible to completely control this butcher knife, let alone a wave of knife intent poured into Zhang Chen's brain the moment he touched the butcher knife.
"There are still so many injustices in the world, those corrupt government officials, embezzlement and bribery, squeezing the hard-earned money of the people, slowing down or even reversing the development of the entire country in some aspects. In the end, there is no so-called divine curse at all, but a lifetime of dirty money. This Lin Guoyun is also a poor person, after escaping from Sanli City, Guangxi, he met a turning point in his life, but he didn't expect to be killed by this woman in the end, and he took a lot of bounty. ”
Zhang Chen's right hand moved. A small opening appeared on the wrist, the flesh was sticky, and a butcher's knife engraved with the word 'Lin' appeared. It is more than eight inches long, wide and pointed, and the blade is slightly curved, which is the same as the butcher knife used to slaughter domestic animals. It's just that in Zhang Chen's hands, there is a sense of flesh and blood.
"It's more handy than the soul marrow weapon I once got in Changsha City, and this is the best way to attack without using the ghost ability. According to the current situation of the body, the flesh and blood body is fused with the main soul stone, and when the time comes, maybe this butcher knife will change with the power of the ghost. ”
"And the weapon carries the word 'origin'...... The clown said that the big stone that exists in the depths of my soul is the origin of my body, and there is a similarity between the two......
Zhang Chen was a little suspicious that the way the butcher knife was derived in Lin Guoyun's body might be related to the way the mysterious stone was derived in his body.
"Maybe there are similarities, could it be that the stone inside me was formed when I was still a human?" Zhang Chen tried to reminisce about his childhood. Because of Shenhai's brain development, he can clearly remember what happened when he was three years old, but there doesn't seem to be anything special.
Zhang Chen raised the butcher knife in his right hand and swung it very casually towards a cell at the opposite corner.
The blade slashed, and the air felt a surge of blood rushing towards the cell where the ballerina was, who could feel the smell of blood that suppressed him through the transparent prison like a tidal wave.
"Smack!" The transparent cell shook twice and did not break, and a blood streak appeared out of thin air on the surface of the cell. Blood spilled down the surface of the cell, shocking the three remaining ghosts on the seventeenth floor. Especially the ballerina.
"Good stuff." Zhang Chen smiled slightly, and an opening appeared in his right wrist. Several streaks of blood flew out of it, wrapping around the handle of the butcher's knife and absorbing it into the wrist.
But in a moment, less than half an hour, footsteps sounded in the corridor leading to the seventeenth floor. When Jia Xin and Worm Firefly appeared, their breath was a little uncertain, not because of injury or physical exertion. It's that the killing intent is a bit too much.
Zhang Chen told Jia Xin all about the fact that there was no entrance to the seventeenth floor and the eighteenth floor, as well as his own conjectures.
"You should be right. The opponent sets up a two-move. From the beginning, I wanted to take you to the bottom layer, presumably as you sensed, there should only be one death row prisoner in the bottom layer, and even if the strength can't kill a few of us, it is possible to cause danger or lose both. ”
"Then consider that you have your own spatial abilities, and it is possible to escape on the way. There's such a setting on the seventeenth floor. Only by collecting all four wooden tiles can one of them get to the final tier, which can be a bit of a problem. Zhang Chen, can you handle one of them? Jia Xin asked.
"There shouldn't be much of a problem, and I don't know if Lu Sheng has figured out the specific location of the drunken boy outside. It's up to me to go deep into the eighteenth floor to get information, so let's collect all the wooden cards. ”
In fact, the whole thing could have been solved very simply, that is, Zhang Chen and his party went to meet Zhao Mu and the others at the beginning, since the wine swallowing boy wanted to get rid of Zhao Mu and the others first, he would inevitably take the initiative to show up. But there are two drawbacks to this.
First, let Zhao Mu and the others act together with the slippery ghost and Jia Xin, a cultivator, and it is very likely that there will be civil strife internally. Second, facing the drunken boy head-on, the other party is fully capable of mobilizing all the ghosts and creatures under his command stationed in the demon capital, and a big battle is inevitable.
However, now taking advantage of the gap between the wine swallow boy to search for Zhao Mu and the others, if the location of the wine swallow can be locked, the effect will be much better. Although the current situation seems that the wine swallowing boy knows that Zhang Chen and the others have penetrated into the Ten Thousand Demon Pillars, Zhang Chen's strength is a variable.
The three of them entered a prison cell, and Zhang Chen chose the cell where the ballet girl had been before.
Zhang Chen thought that the other party would be afraid of his previous strength, but who knew that the woman was not only not afraid, but was excited about Zhang Chen's choice of herself. The moment Zhang Chen stepped into the prison, his surroundings completely changed, and he and the ballet dancer in front of him were on a ballet stage that was dark all around and only the center was illuminated.
The dark and muffled sound of the cello appears, and the ballerina standing in the center begins to dance.
Its wrinkled back, with rough lines, slowly cracked up and down along the center of the spine sutures, and a large number of women, children, and all sorts of people emerged from it. However, only the upper body is exposed, and the lower body has been integrated with the ballerina.
Zhang Chen's right hand moved, and the butcher knife was held in the palm of his right hand.
The sound of music, screams, and twisted joints were all shielded from Zhang Chen's ears.
When the ballerina twisted and came to her, trying to merge into herself, the butcher knife was shaped like one in Zhang Chen's hand, and the knife rose and fell, which was completely different from the previous slash outside. This time, the blood qi did not spill out in the slightest, and it was completely contained in the body of the knife.
The wooden card with blood was grabbed by Zhang Chenyi in his hand. Unexpectedly, when the surrounding illusion was restored, the insect firefly was even faster than herself, and killed the female ghost hiding in the bud first.
And Jia Xin's speed was a little slower, because the old woman was hiding deeply. The old woman's ten fingers are all implicated in a dead puppet made of a special material that looks like wood. And each puppet is extremely flexible and difficult to kill under the control of the old woman.
Finally, Jia Xin found the opportunity, and with Xiaobai's interference, a sword pierced the old woman's body, and the moment the soul essence was cut off, the sword body shook the soul essence divided into two sections and the old woman's body were all shattered.
"Leave the eighteenth floor to me, right? Why don't you two go outside and join Lu Sheng first? ”
"No...... I'm afraid things are not as simple as they seem. I don't think the mustachioed waiter is an ordinary person, and since the drunken boy is so relieved to be here, then there must be a basis for him. I'll be waiting for you here on the seventeenth floor with Fireflies, you can be faster. ”
As soon as Jia Xin finished speaking, he didn't expect a sound of footsteps to come from the sixteenth floor.
The person who came was not Kurokawa Jun, but the green-faced and fanged ghost who laughed at Zhang Chen and Worm Firefly at the beginning, it seems that his breath was a lot weaker before, and his right arm was broken. This ghost creature looked strangely at the empty seventeenth layer, and at the same time looked strangely at Zhang Chen and his party whose body only exuded the aura of an intermediate ghost thing.
"You guys?" The other party said two words in surprise.
"How do you know Zhang Chen?"
"I don't know, we just met when we were waiting for you before. Seeing that his strength is not bad, I must know a lot about the demon capital, I will go down first, Jia Xin, you ask him if there are any useful clues. ”
The conversation between Jia Xin and Zhang Chen reached each other's ears without hindrance.
"You are outsiders!! What a bold man, he dared to break into the Ten Thousand Demon Pillars! The ghost creature was furious, and the only remaining right hand pulled out a large ring knife, and he wanted to kill Zhang Chen and the four of them regardless of the difference in strength.
Who knew that this green-faced and fanged ghost had not yet taken a complete step, and Jia Xin, who was originally carrying his hands on his back, left an afterimage in place.
The cyan sword light slashed through the legs of the ghost object, and the three points into the flesh were just right to break the tendons of the hands and feet, and the qi of the true yuan entered the body along with the wound, and the ghost object kneeling on the ground was even more painful.
"I'm leaving."
After Zhang Chen and the two of them looked at each other, they put the four wooden cards together, and sure enough, as they guessed, the four wooden cards merged into one to form a special spatial power that wrapped Zhang Chen's whole body and disappeared from the seventeenth floor.
Originally, it was only a layer apart, but the space spanning was unimaginably slow.
Three seconds have passed, and the space teleportation has ended. Zhang Chen stood on his feet in a room where he couldn't see his fingers, and felt an uneasy aura gradually approaching from a corner of the room. (To be continued......)
