Chapter 18: A Time of Crisis
It's Zhang Minxiang, them!
My heart sank.
We only saw them bend down and stand up again, and the stones flew towards us like drops.
The distance was about thirty or forty meters, and in the darkness, the protective circle formed by the golden light was extremely dazzling, and they hardly missed it.
I don't know if it's my delusion, but the golden light that protects us seems to be fading rapidly!
"Master!"
Master Lu's face was full of gloom, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Already hopeless?
The possessed person should not have much strength, Lu Xiaoling was able to easily subdue the big driver brother before, if he met them in other circumstances, with Master Lu's mana, he should be able to restore them to normal without much effort.
But it's just this time.
I even thought, judging from where they were standing, maybe they were responsible for the previous landslide?
"What else can be done?" I asked out loud.
But the golden light summoned by Master Lu was already crumbling and could disappear at any time, and those corpse insects began to get excited, gathering around the aperture, constantly shaking their wings and making a rustling sound, and some even couldn't wait to hit the aperture, and fell to the ground after a scream.
There is no way for Jinguang to burn them right away!
"I'm sorry for pulling you to this death." Master Lu said in a low voice.
I don't know what to say, but if he hadn't arrived in time, maybe we wouldn't have survived tonight. After all, why the hell are we messing with that tomb thing?
"Help me." He struggled for a moment, asked me to sit cross-legged for him, and whispered some incantation.
I thought he was going to make a last-ditch effort, but what I didn't expect was what he was reading.
It's all come to this point, can you just wait for death?
I'm not reconciled!
I couldn't get rid of the depression in my heart, and I couldn't help but look up to the sky and yell.
"Ah~~~~~~~h
"Come on! Come on! "I only felt the blood churning in my heart, and the strong unwillingness and despair made me not know what I was doing.
"What the hell is called...... Someone suddenly grabbed my foot.
I was stunned for a moment, only to find that Lu Xiaoling slowly got up.
The sky began to glow slightly, and it should be the sun coming out.
"Uncle?" Lu Xiaoling frowned, and her mouth grinned, it should be the wound on her head that made her feel pain.
But Master Lu didn't answer, not only him, but I was also surprised to find that the sound of the surrounding corpse insects rustling and vibrating their wings suddenly stopped.
"Card, thia, thump,, t, thr~" An old voice read on a small hill beam not far away, and Zhang Minxiang and their figures in the distance didn't know when they disappeared, and there seemed to be only that old and short figure left between heaven and earth.
"Card, thia, thump, thump, boom, card, da, thia, cry~" The old man's voice was not too loud, but I don't know what the reason was, but we could hear it clearly from a distance of nearly twenty meters from him.
Lu Xiaoling's hand suddenly grabbed my ankle heavily, and I clenched my teeth tightly so that I didn't scream because of the terrifying scene in front of me.
A blood-red insect that was ten meters long and had countless legs swam in front of the old man at some point, and its body was raised, like a cobra curling up its body, and its flat and huge body stood in mid-air, more than three meters high.
Those long, thin centipede-like legs kept wriggling in the air, making people feel sour and creepy, and its two tentacles, which were more than a meter long, stretched out in front of the old man.
What's going on?
I couldn't understand it, but the relationship between them didn't seem to be hostile or master-slave, the old man just slowly stretched out his hand and continued to chant words that I couldn't understand.
The huge tentacles lightly touched the old man's hand, and the blood-red monster suddenly let out a strange scream, and the huge mouthparts with countless tiny tentacles suddenly opened violently, revealing a terrifying cavity full of sharp teeth.
Just when I thought the old man would be swallowed by it, it slammed its body and turned its head and disappeared behind the mountain bag.
The corpse worms that had gathered around us a few minutes ago suddenly disappeared.
Master Lu couldn't hold back any longer, and another mouthful of blood spurted out, and his face was as white as a piece of paper.
"Uncle!" Lu Xiaoling screamed in panic.
"I'm fine." Master Lu shook his head and said.
He struggled to stand up, and Lu Xiaoling and I hurriedly supported him left and right.
"Thank you, Master, for saving your life." But he pushed us away with his right hand and said to the old man standing on the mountain beam.
"I'm not a master, and I'm not here to save you." But the old man said without sorrow or joy. "It's just that there are already too many people dead."
"Dare to ask the master, what was that just now?"
"It's all iniquity! Go away and never come back. ”
The old man shook his head, turned around and left, Master Lu shouted repeatedly, but he disappeared into the faint morning light of dawn regardless of it.
Master Lu wanted to catch up, but he stumbled under his feet, and Lu Xiaoling hurriedly helped him.
"Well, if you save this life, there will always be a time to continue the edge." Master Lu said in a low voice.
"Uncle?"
"Let's take a rest and go down the mountain at dawn." Master Lu said.
"Wait here?" I can't help but feel a little hairy.
But there is no other way.
I barely focused on opening the Eye of Heaven, only to see a huge gray-black trace on the right side of the mountain bag heading towards the opposite mountain beam, and the evil creature should have left.
The corpses of Zhang Fugui and Niu Wu didn't know when they had disappeared, and the talisman ash that Master Lu asked me to give Zhang Dali before might have played a role, and he began to moan in a low voice.
"Find a stick to fix it for me." Master Lu finally sat down against the mountain wall again.
The sun came out quickly, just for a moment, what could be seen was much clearer, Lu Xiaoling should have learned first aid, she broke a few hard and straight wooden sticks from the mountain next to her, tore a cloth bag into pieces, and fixed Master Lu's left arm.
Then she checked Zhang Dali's condition and helped him temporarily fix the broken hands and feet.
"The three of us can't take him down the mountain." Lu Xiaoling said.
It was only then that I felt the pain of ten fingers piercing my heart, and I had to gasp.
"How did you do that?" Lu Xiaoling said in surprise.
My fingers were bloody, a few of my nails had fallen off, and there was a lot of dirt on my exposed flesh, and I didn't feel much of it because of fear before, but now it suddenly hurt so much that I couldn't stand it.
Lu Xiaoling looked everywhere in the ruins for usable things, but the things we carried up the mountain on our backs were all buried, and there was nothing left except the things we carried with us.
I sat on a big rock with a sore nose, but in front of Lu Xiaoling, I could only hold back the tears from flowing out, at this time Lu Xiaoling suddenly took off her coat, grabbed her shirt, and tore off the part below.
"Reach out!" She lowered her head and used the water from the kettle she carried with me to help me wash the dirt off the wound, and used these cloths to help me bandage me, and watching her focus suddenly warmed my heart.
At this time, my mobile phone suddenly rang, but my hand was not bandaged yet, and there was no way to reach into my pocket to get it, so I could only ask Lu Xiaoling to help me.
That's a couple of missed text messages.
"There's a signal!" Lu Xiaoling exclaimed in surprise.
She reached for her phone, only to find that it had split in two.
"You're lucky." She said casually.
"It wasn't necessarily luck." Master Lu said. "Sun Yang, come here, let me see your talisman again."
