Chapter Eighty-Five: The Old Man
The glow of the morning sun had just sunk into the hill outside the campus, and between the mountainside there was already a tall man in a vest standing on a tree branch, overlooking the dark cave below.
"I used to feel that the breath coming out of the cave seemed to be gone, it seems that the breath before was conveyed by Bai Shengzhan and him, I can't feel anything in this cave, not only that there is no breath, but there is not even a breath." Looking at the dark hole, Zhang Chen still felt some palpitations in his heart.
"Let's take the old man down the mountain first, if Bai Shengzhan doesn't supply him with energy for the remaining thirteen days, it should affect the strength of the guys inside. I came to catch him off guard this morning."
Zhang Chen's figure flickered and moved towards the old man's room.
"Grandpa, I'm here again." Today, Zhang Chen came twenty minutes earlier than before, but the old man seemed to have already gotten up and sat leisurely on the chair outside the stone house, enjoying the sober breath of the mountains in the early morning.
"Hehe, it's pretty early today. But today you're a little different from usual, in the past, when you came to me, you were sweating profusely every time, and this time you don't seem to be exercising to come to me. Isn't there something wrong?" The old man said with a smile.
"Let's talk about tea if there's something to drink." The old man had the strength to prop up his waist pole and walked into the stone house to habitually make tea for Zhang Chen.
After Zhang Chen thanked him, he also sat on the chair left for him and waited quietly.
"Dididi!" The watch suddenly screamed at this time, and Zhang Chen reacted immediately. This Liu Nuo finally contacted me."
"How is it not a video call, but a text message." After Zhang Chen pressed the button on his watch, a letter popped up on the light screen. And in the bottom right corner it says 'Do you view remote correspondence - yes/no?'
After Zhang Chen lightly touched the 'yes' with his finger, the electronic letter was instantly displayed in front of him, and Zhang Chen couldn't help frowning.
Zhang Chen:
That main soul stone that you kid gave me last time really killed me. I actually asked the national prison envoy firing squad to find them directly. But fortunately, my relationship with the imperial capital is not weak, and I can only release it today. It's a little inconvenient now, so I had to send a message to inform you.
You certainly won't deceive me, then you can only say that you were tricked by someone, and this trap was taken away by me. Otherwise. You've been taken by those people. They may have all gone to prison by now.
I remember you saying that this main soul stone was given to you by an old man, and you told sù that you left this main soul stone after the death of the prison envoy. This is not the case at all, this main soul stone is the main soul stone of a prison envoy who died in Yunnan Province ten years ago. There were no clues to the case at the time."
"And these days. This is a case that has been discarded. There was actually progress, saying that it appeared in our province and was accurate to Tianfu City, so the national prison envoy firing team was dispatched to arrest me. I guess I saved your life. The next time we meet, you will repay me. My sister has been in jail for a few days for you."
Zhang Chen was shocked after reading it, and at this moment, the old man with a kind face in the stone house came to Zhang Chen with a cup of tea in both hands and handed over the tea.
Zhang Chen stared at the tea that he would drink every time he came here, but now he stared at the tea leaves suspended in the stone cup for a long time, and finally put the stone cup aside.
The old man on the side only smiled when he saw Zhang Chen put the tea aside without drinking it.
"Grandpa, you said your wife's body was in that mound, right? I can't feel anything in there." Zhang Chen said in a low voice.
"Is this what the little brother came to the mountain today to talk about?" The old man took a sip of the tea in his cup and said slowly.
"Actually, I want to tell you that this mountain is dangerous, and I want you to go down the mountain."
"That little friend is too careful, I have lived on this mountain for decades, I have already encountered danger, and besides, I am a lonely old man, half of my body has been submerged in the soil, what is there to be nostalgic."
"Grandpa, you haven't answered my first question yet, where did the things buried in the mound go?"
"Haha. If you know, why do you ask me?" The old man was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
"Then let me ask you one more question, are you good or bad?" Zhang Chen sat there motionless and asked.
"Is there really a good or bad world? There will be different answers from different angles, but what do you want from that angle?" The old man still said kindly.
"What if that's from my point of view?"
"That's supposed to be...... Broken, right?"
After saying this, the air between the two seemed to freeze, and if you looked closely, you could find that the soil particles under Zhang Chen's feet were faintly floating slightly.
In the next second, there was only a stone chair left in Zhang Chen's original position, and the ground on both sides of the chair was imprinted with two footprints several centimeters deep.
Ten red claws were already in front of the old man, but the old man only raised his old-looking arm and crossed it in front of him to block the attack that could cut off the steel, which seemed to others to be a joke.
"Boom!" Ten red rays of light were really blocked, Zhang Chen clearly felt that after his nails cut through the epidermis of the old man's arm, they also cut off the muscles and blood vessels in an instant, but when he touched the bones, his nails covered with sperm and blood couldn't cut in.
"It's so hard bones, and it's as strong as mine. No, it's better than me." In the stalemate stage, Zhang Chen attacked as an active attacker. [,! ] took a little advantage, but under the strong power of the old man, he gradually moved the advantage to his side.
"Boom!" Zhang Chen had no choice, so he mobilized a trace of Yuan Force to integrate into the mental power, forming a high-concentration air bomb that directly bombarded the old man's abdomen, and the ground on the old man's side cracked a huge crack due to the impact of the shock wave, but the old man was not shaken in the slightest.
"What kind of body is this, it's going to force me to use all my strength when it comes." In desperation, Zhang Chen grew a third arm in an instant, and five red lights flashed, directly hitting the old man's unprepared face. Taking this opportunity, I kicked the ground with both feet and distanced myself from the old man.
"Is even the head so hard?" The full force of the third arm swept towards the old man's skull, cutting the skin of his face, and when the nail met the bone, it only sparked.
The first attack ended in failure, and eight meters in front of him, the old man's face no longer had the kindness it used to be, and under the five cuts on his right cheek, Mori Bai's bones could be seen. Zhang Chen looked closely, and there seemed to be a faint dark golden light flowing between the bones.
"The same flesh healing ability as me, it seems that it is also flesh and blood." The wounds on the old man's arms and face healed quickly.
At the same time, the blood spirit in Zhang Chen's right chest was already ready to move when Zhang Chen made a move, and the old man in front of him was nothing more than a great supplement in its eyes.
Before Zhang Chen could move, the old man's arm, who was standing eight meters away, began to move slowly, and two bone swords with a faint golden light grew out of the old man's left and right palms and held them in his hands.
"The blood spirit moves and sucks his blood."
Zhang Chen struck first again, and at the same time let the blood spirit assist him. When the first grasp slashed at the opponent's bone sword, a little red blood began to float out of the old man's body and sucked into Zhang Chen's right chest.
Zhang Chen smiled slightly when he saw this scene, "If you cooperate with the blood spirit, as long as you drag on to him for a long time, you will be able to take advantage of him."
The other party held two bone swords to seal the attacks of Zhang Chen's three claws, and he was able to find a gap to fight back appropriately, and from time to time there would be blood holes on Zhang Chen's body, but this kind of small injury was naturally not in the way, and hitting Zhang Chen's body was like tickling.
"Huh" Zhang Chen made a mistake, and with a left and right claws, he was blocked by a bone sword. At the same time, another bone sword instantly picked off Zhang Chen's third claw and cut off his entire left arm.
"You can't beat him in close combat!" Zhang Chen Nianli blessed between his feet, and his steps quickly changed to evacuate, and he distanced himself from the old man again.
The severed left arm was considered a serious injury, but the flesh and blood at the wound healed within three seconds.
And the old man on the other side doesn't seem to be in very good condition. Although the previous fight was only about ten seconds, the blood qi in his body was losing every moment, and at the same time, the skin injuries caused by Zhang Chen to him did not heal as quickly as before.
"Nirvana, it's still the same as before, he shouldn't be able to do it a few more times."
Zhang Chen could actually feel that the feeling that the old man gave him was the peak stage of the intermediate ghost thing, but he didn't know why his body was so strong, and the things in the main cave hadn't been done yet, Zhang Chen didn't want to mobilize all his abilities, he was afraid that if he consumed too much, he would have to drag on for half a day or a day to recover.
At this time, the old man on the opposite side began to change. The epidermis of the whole body began to slowly fade, and a layer of white bone was formed underneath the epidermis. At the same time, the blood spirit also transmitted
"The blood induction in my body and his body has been cut off, and I can't absorb his blood qi, which should be the reason for that layer of bones."
"Trouble!" After hearing this, Zhang Chen muttered in his heart and gritted his teeth, "I have to really go all out, and at most I will rest for half a day."
The two moved at the same time, Zhang Chen's advantage was that his pace was sensitive and faster, while the opponent's swordsmanship and strength were superior to Zhang Chen.
"After the whole body is ossified, the strength actually increases! He has the strength to fight with the high-level ghosts."
During the fight, the opponent directly slashed with two swords, and Zhang Chen, who was blocking with his arms crossed in front of his chest, was shocked by this heavy blow and his hands were numb, and he spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated several meters away.
The old man didn't stop at all, he followed closely, and the bone sword in his right hand stretched forward and aimed at the position of the main soul stone on Zhang Chen's defenseless left chest......
