Li Huaishan and I dared to hesitate and hurriedly rushed into the dark passage.

The fire on Xiao Heitian's body was in a grand light, and I could see its shadow when I stood at the entrance of the dark passage, and I also saw a large cluster of chaotic shadows crawling along the ground towards Xiao Heitian and Mu Ji, but it was too far away to see what it was.

After running for a short time, Li Huaishan began to pant heavily, I was not much better, I was also out of breath, I used to be able to rely on the medicinal power in my body to make up for the continuous consumption of physical strength, but this time, I felt tired at the same time as Li Huaishan.

It's been a long time since my lungs can't keep up with my feet, as if in this thick darkness, I suddenly came back to reality from the dream I'd had for a year.

People always feel tired, and although I have lost the ability to quickly repair my physical strength and pain, this sudden exhaustion makes me feel a strange sense of fulfillment in my heart.

Even though he was panting, Li Huaishan and I still didn't slow down, when there were still about a hundred meters away from Mu Ji, I saw Mu Ji waving the sapper shovel in his hand, constantly blocking the things that were rushing towards him, Xiao Heitian seemed to have no strength, just slowly retreated backwards, Mu Ji just waved the shovel to protect it, and did not give up on it at all.

When he was still five or six meters away from Muji, Li Huaishan threw his flying claws with all his might.

In the month he was stranded in Xi'an, Li Huaishan had to practice the kung fu of throwing flying claws every day, and now he has achieved initial results.

The claw head swept a long arc in the air, first landing beside Xiao Heitian, and then Li Huaishan quickly pulled the claw chain, and the claw head slid along the ground for a short distance, and stuck firmly on Xiao Heitian's ankle.

Li Huaishan threw the claw chain to me and asked me to drag Xiao Heitian back, while he grabbed Mu Ji's arm and took Mu Ji to retreat desperately.

A few shadows jumped up from the place where the yin qi had gathered, and pounced on us, and when they flew in front of me, I could see clearly through the light of the fire on Xiao Heitian's body, which were snakes with the thickness of wrists.

The snakes were still curled up when they flew in mid-air, some of them had their heads facing me, but their eyes were dull and seemed to be dead, and some of them were simply facing the back of their heads at me, and there was no threat at first glance.

I waved my hand to block the speeding snakes, and they didn't resist with their faces, and they were so soft that they were knocked away and fell to the ground softly.

It was as if they hadn't come by themselves, but some invisible force had thrown them over.

Muji was still retreating rapidly, and I could hear their footsteps getting farther and farther away from my back.

At this moment, a few more snakes flew over with the sound of the wind, and I didn't retreat, I didn't stop, I let them crash into me, and then slid down my body to the ground.

Li Huaishan probably felt that my reaction was a little abnormal, so he shouted behind me: "If you are not, what are you doing?" ”

I waved my hand to signal them not to come, and then pulled the claw chain to the side, and then took a step towards the yin-shrouded area.

"What are you going to do?"

Li Huaishan shouted again, his tone full of anxiety.

I replied, "Don't come here yet, I'll find out what's going on." As he spoke, he came to the periphery of the Yin Qi Field and stared into the thick black fog.

On the ground shrouded in yin qi, there were indeed a large number of snakes scattered, one by one, one by one, stacked layer by layer like dense rotten tree roots, circling and twisting their bodies.

If this kind of sight is seen by someone who suffers from dense phobia, it may be tempted to die on the spot.

It feels like these snakes have their last breath left, and they don't know when they will die, and when they are wriggling, they are also weak.

Just as I was looking into the tide of snakes, several more snakes suddenly jumped up and pounced on me, but I didn't dodge them, letting them slump against my chest and abdomen.

These snakes are indeed not aggressive, and after Mei Mei hit me, she quickly fell to the ground again.

Moreover, any snake that leaves the Yin Qi field will immediately lose its vital signs after landing, and it will be as soft as mud.

I took a closer look at the yin qi condensed in front of me, and found that as long as a snake flew up, there would be a small amount of turmoil in this Qi field.

Since each snake has its own pure yin qi, I speculate that it should be the external yin qi that stimulates the small yin qi field in their body during the turbulence, allowing them to temporarily regain their vitality, but when they struggle to jump up from the ground, the yin qi in their bodies will be quickly depleted, and when they land again, they will completely become an empty shell without life breath.

All of this is supposed to be the work of the Night Owl Spirit, who probably knows that these half-dead little snakes can't do us any harm, but still keeps driving them, scaring us with the last bit of their life force.

"Ergou, flashlight!"

I turned sideways and shouted at Li Huaishan.

Li Huaishan and Mu Ji had already withdrawn far away, and after hearing my voice, the two of them hurriedly ran back.

Mu Ji seemed to be very afraid of snakes, and after he came to me, he kept his eyes on the ground, not daring to face the snake tide covered by yin qi.

While walking towards me, Li Huaishan quickly took out his flashlight and lit it forward.

With the light shining from the flashlight, I glanced ahead a few times and saw that the area shrouded in fog was about ten meters apart.

On the other side of the mist, there were also a lot of snakes gathered on the ground, but those snakes were not nourished by the yin qi of the outside world, and they were already dead, and they didn't move under the light beam.

A few more snakes jumped up from the yin qi and hit me and Li Huaishan's bodies, at first Li Huaishan also stretched out his hand to block it, but soon, he also found a problem, turned his head and asked me: "These snakes are dead?" ”

I looked at the condensed yin qi in front of me and said, "The things that are pressed at the bottom of the tomb are probably coming soon." ”

Li Huaishan: "What do you mean?" ”

I ignored him, took out cinnabar and Chen rice directly from my backpack, and set up a small dry array around the yin qi, bringing in yang qi from the outside world, and slowly dissolving the yin qi field in the dark passage.

Due to the constraints of the environment, the speed at which the yang qi flowed into the dark passage was very slow, and it was estimated that it would take a long time to dissipate the rich yin qi in front of it to a level that Li Huaishan and Mu Ji could bear.

After I urged the formation, the frequency of yin qi turbulence became much higher than before, and one by one the half-dead snakes jumped off the ground in the shock, and pounced on the cinnabar and Chen Mi, I took out the sapper shovel and silently slapped the snakes close to the small formation away.

Since there were a lot of snakes that pounced on the formation every time, I couldn't take care of it alone, and Li Huaishan also consciously came to my side and protected me in the small formation with me.

He raised his hand to slap a snake into the air and asked me, "You mean, the Night Cat is almost finished?" ”

This guy's reflex arc is really not ordinarily long, and I don't understand what I just said until now.

I nodded, "Nine times out of ten, that's true." If you look at these snakes on the ground, the night owl spirits don't have the extra strength to give them new vitality. The yin qi in front of it should be its last strength. ”

Hearing me say this, Li Huaishan suddenly came to his senses: "According to this, even if we don't go in, the night cat spirit will die in a short time, so ...... Can we go back? ”

I frowned and glanced at him: "If I don't go in and have a look, I'm still a little worried." ”

Li Huaishan: "Aren't you asking for trouble?" ”

I ignored him, just silently waved the sapper shovel and slapped the flying snake into the air.

Now that I'm here, I'm still going to go in and have a look, after all, I'm not sure if my guess is accurate.

Li Huaishan was verbose, but the movements in his hands never stopped, constantly slapping the flying snakes away, and occasionally complaining during the period, but fortunately, he didn't use all his energy on breaking his mouth.

"When the people of Ailao Mountain caused floods, they didn't kill the night owl spirit."

Just when Li Huaishan was complaining while slapping the snake, Mu Ji, who was standing behind us, suddenly said such a sentence.

I glanced at Mu Ji from the afterglow: "Ailao Mountain? If I'm not mistaken, that mountain seems to be in Yunnan, isn't this Sichuan? ”

Mu Ji still didn't dare to look at the large and small snake corpses scattered on the ground, stared at the stone wall on the first floor and said, "According to legend, the night owl spirit escaped to us from Ailao Mountain. ”

I swung my shovel to slap a few small snakes away and asked him, "What the hell is a night owl?" ”

Mu Ji: "I don't know what it is, I only know that people in the past called it a night owl spirit, saying that it is a life born of the yin qi of heaven and earth, and I am afraid and hate the sun." ”

Hearing him say this, I remembered that the legend of the three suns had been mentioned by the Great Witch of Noja before, but the Great Witch only said that there was such a mythical story in the local area, but did not tell me the specific content.

It happened that it would take some time for the yin qi to be completely dispelled, so I said to Mu Ji, "I heard from the Great Witch of Noja that the night owl spirit seems to be related to the legend of the three suns. ”

Mu Ji shook his head: "It's not the legend of the three suns, it's the legend of the seven suns and the three girls." ”

I was a little confused when he said this, what a sun girl, what is this?

Thinking so in my heart, I cast a puzzled look at Mu Ji, who was silent for a moment before explaining: "This legend was originally passed down from the side of Ailao Mountain, and the teacher may have confused it with another legend. ”

At this time, Li Huaishan interjected: "What kind of sun girl, it just so happens that this will be idle ......"

As he spoke, a small snake flew towards the small array at a very fast speed, and Li Huaishan immediately took a step and slapped the snake away, and then continued: "Tell us what the night cat spirit is coming from, just to relieve our fatigue." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his sapper shovel again, slapping the two snakes that were speeding to the ground.
