Chapter Seventy-Six: Surrender
Hearing this familiar shout, I hurriedly looked back, only to see Gatha turning his head and looking straight at me.
"Old-timers!! Do you remember me?!! I'm ......."
"Get out of the way!!"
Before I could finish speaking, Gatha yelled abruptly.
My reaction speed was definitely not slow, and as soon as it shouted this, I didn't think about it, and turned to the side, intending to flash out for some distance.
But I forgot that my calves were still being dragged on, and this sudden effort directly destroyed my balance, and my whole body fell to the side, if I hadn't reacted quickly and propped up my palms on the ground, I would have had to drop my front teeth.
When I kept my balance, I was still glad, and my heart said that my skills were getting more and more agile, and if I had to put it in the past, I would have .......
"Bang."
With a muffled sound, the joy on my face disappeared, and I looked down at my abdomen, only to think that I had fallen into blood mold, and it was time to plant my head.
A long black thorn made of metal had unconsciously penetrated my abdomen, and it was also pierced through the middle from the dantian that the old man once said.
One end of the long black thorn was exposed to the air, and the other was sunk into the sand.
It was the first time I had such close contact with Erbi, and even if I didn't touch it with my hands, I could still feel the temperature of the ice cube on the long thorn.
It's alive, and that's what scares me the most.
The surface of the long thorn wriggled irregularly, with a few small packets bulging from time to time, and then deflating again......
"Fuck...... Where the did this come from......." I gritted my teeth, endured the pain and didn't dare to scream, almost instantly, my forehead was covered with a layer of sweat, my fear was much less, and I could feel calmer than before.
But this calmness doesn't seem to be enough to save me.
There was a muffled thud, and many long thorns the thickness of chopsticks separated from the first thorn and pierced into my flesh one after another.
Every long thorn inserted into it was completely submerged, and the flesh Gu could quickly repair the wound......
I was pierced by the long thorns one second, and the next second I couldn't see the wounds, and I couldn't see the long thorns that had sunk into my flesh.
Compared to the pain of being penetrated into the dantian, these small injuries and pains are nothing, I think they are all trivial.
But when I found out that there was an indescribable subtlety in the places where the little black thorns had entered, I felt stupid.
From the first to the last, no more, no less, there are a total of seventeen long thorns separated.
This number just corresponds to the evil child in my body.
Not only that, but the place where they penetrated was exactly where I buried the evil son, which surprised me the most.
In addition to me, the host, there is an external force that can sense where the evil son is...... This is not the same as what the old man said!
Isn't the Fallen Evil Son completely integrated into my flesh? How will it know the location??
When I panicked, I also felt a change in my body.
In the past, even if I didn't summon the evil ones, I could have some connection with them, and that connection could make me clearly perceive their existence, but at this time....... The connection was completely severed.
"It's over......."
Gatha muttered that what it said was what I wanted to say.
Finished.
My biggest hole card is the one that is buried in my body, but at this time, they seem to have been suppressed by someone, and they have completely disconnected from me.
Not to mention summoning them, even if you want to perceive their existence, you can't do anything.
"Old-timers...... It seems that we are still planted......." I reluctantly squeezed out a smile, pretending that I was very calm, and I didn't care about life and death at all: "This dog's attack is too bad, I can't fight." ”
Gatha ..... No, it shouldn't be called Gatha now, it should be an old monk.
After regaining its senses, it turned its attention to me, and seemed to be worried about me.
I don't know if it felt the changes in my body....... But judging by what it says....... I guessed somewhat.
"Don't be afraid." The old monk trembled and comforted in a low voice: "With me, it can't kill you, unless I die......."
The old monk was very painful, and every word revealed this emotion.
The hand that held its flesh tightly was still working unhurriedly, and the palm of the hand was getting tighter and tighter, and the sound of bones shattering was much less, because the old monk had no other bones to crush.
The whole person is like a fish without bones, limp and paralyzed by that hand, and can only speak but cannot move.
Don't say it's here to save me, it's to protect yourself..... I'm afraid it doesn't have that ability.
I was about to say a few words to the old monk and comfort him, but I didn't expect that I suddenly couldn't open my mouth, and my throat and eyes were like being blocked by something, and I couldn't make a sound at all.
At this moment, an unbearable pain came from the left cheekbone.
It was a sharp tearing pain that started in the cheekbone and spread down until it reached the left side of the jaw.
With a muffled thud, I felt something fall to the ground.
When I looked down, it was a bloody thing, the size of a palm, and it looked like flesh and blood were blurry, and it was inexplicably familiar.
"It's ....... This is my skin?? I looked at that thing a little confused, endured the pain, and raised my hand to touch it with some difficulty, and found that my left cheek was indeed a little thinner, and it still hurt a little to touch it with my hand.
When I put my hand down, my palms were full of rancid blood.
"Xiao Shen!! What's wrong with your face?! ”
"I didn't ...... ......I smiled, put my palm down, and quietly put my back behind my back.
My hands were trembling, and I was trembling because I was afraid, so I couldn't let the old monk see it, or he would have to worry about death....... Damn, this monster is ruthless enough! What kind of grudge do I have against it?! As for playing the trick of skinning and bone-splitting?
"Old-timer, the two of us are planted, but the others run away, so we should be able to run away......"
Hearing my words, the old monk seemed to realize something, and looked at me a little stunned, and after a few seconds, he showed an unnatural smile.
Strange to say, he was staring at Gathari's skin, looking like a monster from head to toe, but when he smiled, I could feel that inexplicable kindness.
Maybe this is the Buddha nature that the old man often said.
The Buddha nature is not in the skin, but in the heart.
Even if the old monk stared at the appearance of Gathani, when he was compassionate, he still looked like a Buddha.
"They ran away?" The old monk asked me, "How long have you been running?" ”
"It's been a long time." I laughed and said, "If they're running at full speed...... It should be almost down the hill by now. ”
The old monk snorted and said, That's good.
"That's good......"
The old monk sighed, stopped struggling, looked back at Erbi's body covered in gelatinous substance, and smiled helplessly: "The demon can't deal with it...... The power you lent me...... I can't figure it out...... This monster is not simple. ”
"The power that the Dharma Seal lent you?" I was stunned for a moment and asked curiously, "It lent it to you by itself?" ”
The old monk nodded, and when he spoke, his tone was inexplicably heavy, as if he still regretted it a little.
"I'm sorry..... I'm sorry....... It's all fought to this point....... I still haven't been able to save your life......."
"Come on, you are a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect yourself, I don't blame you, I don't need to blame myself." I smiled and said: "Death here can also be regarded as a fate, no matter how it tosses, more than ten years later, we are a good man again." ”
As I spoke, I raised my hand and rubbed my nose, not daring to let the old monk find out that I was depressed, and my laughter sounded a little reluctant.
"My grandfather often said that when it is time to fight, you have to fight, but if you can't fight, we have to admit it, and we are willing to gamble and lose."
At this moment, at the entrance of this underground space, a young man's voice came from Leng Buding.
"Lord Yama is also willing to gamble and lose? Shouldn't it? ”
The man laughed gloatingly.
"Brother Shen, you are a little embarrassed to do this time, I really didn't expect you to be made like this."
