Chapter 403: Awakening
It was so fast that I couldn't dodge it, but when the tip of the tongue of the flame was less than half a meter away from me, it suddenly stopped and burned quietly in place.
I stood up, my tongue of fire shook twice, but I didn't move forward.
Liang Houzai also stood up with his body propped up, and said to me: "It seems that this distance is beyond the range of the night demon's attack, it only broke free from the demon pestle, but it is still limited by the large array. ”
As Liang Houzai spoke, I saw that the white mask was constantly spinning in the air, but no matter how it turned or turned, it couldn't leave the area where the golden light gathered.
Liang Houzai was right, the night demon at this time was still restricted by the big array.
Hey? No, how can I hear Liang Houzai's voice? I raised my hand and touched my ear, only to find that the cotton wool in my left ear was gone, probably falling out when I was tumbling just now.
Look at Liang Houzai again, he also has an empty ear now.
I roughly estimated that the distance between us and the Daredevil was about ten meters, and outside of that range, it couldn't touch us, but we couldn't touch it either.
I also noticed that no matter how the Daredevil's mask turned, it was not facing the murals above its head, and it seemed that it was deliberately avoiding them.
Liang Houzai also said to me: "Let the mask face the mural, it should be able to awaken the consciousness of the leader's daughter." ”
But the question is, what do you do to make it face the mural?
At this time, Dorjee ran over from not far away, and the armored corpse that we caught before didn't know where it went, and the thing it held in its mouth was replaced by a demon pestle.
When Dorjee came to me, he threw the demon pestle at my feet.
I picked up the demon pestle and asked Dorjee, "Where did you pick it up?" ”
Dorjee purred twice, and I couldn't understand what it meant.
Liang Houzai said to me: "Just now, the demon pestle fell in the area where the light gathered, and I saw it with my own eyes. ”
Dorjee nodded in agreement.
Where the light converges? In other words, when Dorjee picked up the pestle, it was very close to the night demon, but it was not attacked by the night demon.
It reminds me of the evil spirits in District 4, which only attack the living, but when Dorjee enters here every year, there is no movement.
Could it be that the night demon is like this, only attacking the living, but not feeling the presence of Dorjee?
While thinking about this in my heart, I didn't forget to glance at the beam of light that came from Kun Wei, and at this time, the brightness of that beam had already decreased a little compared to just now.
If the aura of the Heavenly Seal's blessing in the Kun position disappears, when the vitality reappears, the night demon will definitely take the opportunity to escape.
There was no time to delay, so I immediately took out a pickaxe from my backpack and threw it at the Daredevil's mask, as soon as the pickaxe entered the range of the Daredevil's attack, it was immediately wrapped in tongues of fire, and the extremely solid pickaxe was quickly burned red, and the tip of the pickaxe even began to melt and deform.
The temperature in the tongue of fire seems to be much higher than I imagined.
The pickaxe was attacked by tongues of fire, and I thought, maybe it was because I had touched it that it had breath on it, so that it was noticed by the night demon.
Next, I grabbed a large handful of long hairs on Dorjee's head and cut them off with a green steel sword, and Dorjee immediately raised his head and looked at me with puzzled eyes.
I said, "Borrow it, maybe you will have to borrow more later." ”
After saying that, I took Liang Houzai's mountaineering pickaxe and wrapped Dorjee's dog hair tightly around it.
After this, I threw the pickaxe for the second time, and as expected, the pickaxe was completely wrapped in Dorjee's hair, and the Daredevil was completely unaware of its presence.
The pickaxe circled in the air and slashed through a long arc, hitting the Daredevil's mask impartially, and with a muffled "bang", the mask was attacked, and the pickaxe wrapped in dog hair was shattered and flew out.
When I threw the pickaxe just now, I used almost all my strength, but I could only make the mask shake twice.
After being attacked, the mask began to wander around irregularly, as if trying to find the source of the attack, and wandered back and forth like crazy.
The smell of Dorjee is a huge blind spot for the night demon.
Then I swung the light steel and cut off the long hair on Dorjee's body one by one.
I stuffed the dog fur into my clothes and pants, and used them to wrap the scabbard and Fantian seal of the green steel sword.
Although Dorjee's hair was abundant, it was only enough to arm me alone, and Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai knew that they couldn't help, so they stood aside and watched quietly.
Knowing that my whole body was wrapped in Dorjee's long hair, I tried to touch it towards the Night Demon.
I avoided the tongue of fire and approached the night demon from the northeast, this direction corresponds to the seismic position of the innate gossip, and it is also the location where the stone gate is located, and the anger flows from here into the gossip map, and I chose such a position, but also hoping that this flowing anger can slightly cover my breath.
Soon, I was within range of the Night Demon's attack, and it seemed to sense my presence, the mask cutting a bend in the air, facing the direction I was.
But after a while, the mask floated somewhere else.
I didn't dare to make too much noise, and crept forward, the night demon's mask was facing the kun position at this time, and I felt as if it was waiting for the light from the kun position to dim completely.
When the beam of light dimmed again, the Daredevil would surely seize that moment of vitality and escape from the Great Array.
I quickened my pace slightly, and soon approached the area where the golden light gathered.
The black smoke under the mask was still surging continuously, and sometimes, the golden light would be completely covered by the black gas, and sometimes, the black smoke would be pierced by the beam, and the surroundings would immediately become brighter.
Between the night demon and the great array, there is still a silent game.
When I got close to the black smoke, I could feel the amazing chill wrapped in it, and through the thick layer of dog hair, the skin on my body was stimulated by the cold, and even the bones in my cheeks were frozen a little stiff.
Originally, I wanted to force the mask to flip it with both hands so that it was facing the mural above, but now it seems that I can't get any closer, and if I get any closer, the cold in the black smoke will kill me.
At this time, I thought of Liu Shangang's Tibetan knife.
I immediately rushed back to Liu Shangang's side and stretched out a hand to him: "Knife!" ”
Liu Shangang quickly pulled out the Tibetan knife from his backpack, tied it with Dorjee's hair, and threw it to me.
The moment I caught the hidden knife, the Daredevil's mask quickly turned to my side again, but after a few seconds, it moved away from me.
I pulled the Tibetan knife out of its scabbard and rubbed the surface of the knife vigorously with Dorjee's fur as I stared at the night demon. Fortunately, it didn't look back, and it seems that wiping the blade with Dorjee's hair can also cover the smell of the Tibetan knife.
Then, I pointed the knife face directly at the murals above my head, and I saw that one of the murals was immediately reflected on the body of the knife as smooth as ice.
I turned the blade of the knife and tried to make all four murals reflect on it, but the blade was so narrow that at most one mural could be reflected.
At this time, I glanced at Kun's beam again, and it was a little dimmer compared to ten minutes ago.
Time was getting shorter, and I had no other choice, so I took a deep breath and quickly walked to the front of the night demon.
At this point, the mask suddenly shuddered, and then slowly turned towards me.
I was shocked: Could it be that it had found me?
As soon as I had such an idea, the mask floating in the air trembled again, and then black smoke and tongues of fire surged at the same time, sweeping towards me together.
Seriously, at that moment I felt like I was really going to die, whether it was the cold in the black smoke or the heat in the tongue of fire, it was like standing on the road, suddenly a heavy truck came at me, and the next second it would be hit by the heavy body into a pile of minced meat.
I couldn't avoid it, and I didn't intend to avoid it, so I gritted my teeth and raised the Tibetan knife violently.
At this time, the Daredevil looked down on me, and when I raised the knife, it must have seen the blade clearly, but I didn't know if the smooth blade had succeeded in reflecting the content of the mural.
I could feel the chill surging on my left side, the heat of the flames scorching my right side of my face, but I still held the Tibetan knife aloft, and now it was my only hope.
The mask was facing my face, and I stared at it, and then I saw that the eyes and mouth on the mask were actually the three gems set in the mask, and there was no lust in those eyes, and I didn't know if the night demon had changed now, and whether the leader's daughter had woken up.
For me at that time, life and death for a second were completely unknown, and the only thing I could do was to suppress the fear in my heart and hold the blade high.
Before going to the tomb this time, Uncle Ke said that the three of us would definitely not have an accident, and the formation he and Uncle Liu set up in the canyon would also bring us good luck.
Now, I just hope that Uncle Ke is not comforting me.
As the chill that crawled along my left heel and the heat from my right side seemed to consume me, I felt the Daredevil's mask tremble again, and then the chill and heat began to move away from me.
I immediately realized that the consciousness of the chief's daughter had begun to awaken.
I raised my hand, pointed to the golden halo that held the four murals directly above and shouted, "Look up, the murals are above your head." ”
But the night demon's mask still looked down at me, I was a little anxious, I threw the Tibetan knife into the sky, the night demon's gaze, or the leader's daughter's gaze kept moving along the hidden knife, she slowly raised her head, and the mask finally turned to the golden halo floating in the air.
The mask didn't move until the Tibetan knife hit the ground.
I don't know how long it took for the black smoke to spontaneously begin to retract back into the ground, and as the darkness outside became less and less, eventually, the mask retreated back into the burrow.
At the time of seeing the fresco, the chief's daughter must have woken up, and her awakening had brought the night demons, who had struggled for thousands of years, into a deep sleep again. At this time, the light of Kun was finally completely dimmed.
But after the night demon was suppressed, I didn't feel any joy in my heart, after tossing for so long, we still couldn't let that poor woman get free, and in a few thousand years, the night demon would still wake up.
Even if we try our best, we can only restore the night mound to the state it was in three thousand years ago, and nothing else can be changed.
