Chapter 518: Keep going
The claws of the dwarf mule carried the breath of corpse, and this breath ran down the wound into my blood. The black water corpse was immediately activated, and the powerful Qi field dissolved the corpse qi in my blood in an instant, and the dwarf mule on my back was also submerged in this Qi field.
In just a second, the corpse qi of the dwarf mule was swallowed up by the black water corpse coffin, and it slipped off my back and fell to the ground motionless.
Although the corpse qi was dissolved, the wound on my shoulder still hurt fiercely, it was a pain that penetrated the bones, as if something else had penetrated into my body besides the corpse qi.
When the second master saw that I was injured, he immediately came over, he tore the bandage on his arm, and forcibly removed the flesh thread sewn by Liu Shangang on his wound.
As soon as the thread was removed, the wound of the second master was torn open, and he dripped blood on my wound, and then went into battle again.
It's strange to say, as soon as my wound was touched by the blood of the second master, there was no such bone-penetrating pain immediately, it was a simple tearing pain, which was the normal pain that a wound should have.
At this time, Du Kang also changed the weapon in his hand to a black scorpion tail, which carried a very pure yang poison, and the dwarf mule couldn't parry it at all. After helping me heal my wounds, the second master smeared his own blood on the dagger.
For these dwarf mules, what we have in our hands is the spirit banner of Lord Yama, as long as they are scraped and rubbed, they will soon die.
They were not afraid of death at all, and when they saw their companions fall, they became even more irritable, and we fought and retreated, avoiding their frontal charges while looking for an opportunity to kill them.
These dwarf mules are indeed ferocious, not only fast, powerful, and numerous, but also claws and teeth are poisonous, if it weren't for the second master, I don't know how to deal with the injury I just received just now.
During the battle, I glanced at Lao Yang from time to time, but fortunately, Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang kept supporting him to retreat, and there was a distance between him and the second master, so he didn't faint immediately.
The last mule pounced on Du Kang in a rage, and Du Kang leaned over and threw out the black scorpion tail, the sharp tail hook cutting a huge hole in the top of the mule's head.
The fierce yang poison quickly corroded the wound, and a large amount of corpse qi leaked out, and the dwarf mule fell to the ground before it could launch a second attack.
Seeing that the battle was over, the second master glanced back at Lao Yang, and then put away the evil qi on his body.
Liang Houzai swept the floor of the tunnel ahead with a flashlight, where the corpses of dwarf mules were scattered all over the place, and a rough count of them was about hundreds.
I had heard the footsteps sparsely before, and I didn't expect them to be so numerous.
Liu Shangang checked Lao Yang's condition and confirmed that he was fine, so he took out medical equipment from his backpack and helped me and the second master bandage the wounds.
Needless to say, the wound is too big, it must be sewn, and the wound on my shoulder has not been able to stop the bleeding, and in the end, there is no way, Liu Shangang also took out a needle and thread at me.
When I saw him give the second master an injection, the second master didn't react at all, I thought it didn't hurt, but when the crooked suture needle pierced my skin, the pain caused by the puncture still made me frown.
I asked Liu Shangang: "Can't you give the numb first and then apply the needle?" ”
Liu Shangang smiled: "It's good that I can remember bringing needle and thread, you still expect me to give you a numb, it's a bit too demanding." ”
After sewing up my wound, Liu Shangang bandaged me properly with gauze.
When Liang Houzai helped Lao Yang over, Lao Yang was looking at the corpse in the tunnel in a daze.
Presumably after this incident, he probably never wants to let the ghost baby into our business again.
The second master patted Lao Yang, raised his chin at him, and said, "We have to go deeper, can you do it?" ”
It took Lao Yang a long time to come to his senses and ask the second master: "What is this place...... Are they all dwarf mules? ”
The second master sighed: "This is not an ordinary dwarf mule, this thing is much more powerful than the same kind in the forest." But you don't have to worry about their revenge, these hundred or so dwarf mules should be a whole race. Alas, I have to say, the dwarf mule is a problem as long as it is encountered. ”
Lao Yang looked very stunned: "You can even get a dwarf mule, then there must be a way to get rid of that hanged ghost." ”
The second master frowned slightly: "What hanged ghost?" ”
Lao Yang said: "The ghost baby has been four or five years old, and he can see a hanged ghost every night, after we go out, can you get it for him?" ”
Although I don't know how to read physiognomy and am not proficient in the calculation of the eight characters of birth, when I saw the ghost baby for the first time, I knew that he was the same as Luo Fei, he was also a big yin system, and he was born with his own yin field. Such a child is indeed easy to attract ghosts.
The second master smiled and pointed to me again: "There is a way to help in this matter, you can just look for him." ”
Hearing the words of the second master, Lao Yang turned his head and smiled at me, I nodded, and gave him a smile.
At this time, Liu Shangang had already put away his medical box, and I saw that Lao Yang was fine, so I beckoned everyone to continue to go deeper.
On the way, I heard the second master ask Liang Houzai in the back: "How do you know that those dwarf mules are not afraid of light?" ”
Liang Houzai said: "I noticed that the dwarf mules had corpse qi on their bodies, and I thought that they were the same species as the ones that the second master encountered in the valley. The fact that they can appear both underground and above ground means that these dwarf mules should have returned to the surface occasionally for thousands of years, and since there is a chance to see the light, their vision should not be completely degraded. Their eyes should be more adaptable to changes in light and darkness, but no matter how strong they are, they will also feel glaring when they suddenly appear bright when they are in the dark. ”
Second Master: "Good boy, just that moment, there are so many things in your mind?" ”
Liang Houzai smiled.
Then I heard the second master say: "Alas, if only my stupid apprentice could have this IQ, then the child is a dead brain." ”
After that, everyone didn't speak again, they all kept their heads and walked silently.
At the end of the rift, we saw seven holes in the earth wall directly in front of us, and when everyone didn't know what to do when faced with these forks in the road, Du Kang almost didn't hesitate and walked straight into the hole facing us.
There was a fairly spacious tunnel connected to the cave, and he kept walking, occasionally shining a flashlight on the walls on both sides of the tunnel.
Fork in the road and fork in the road, and every distance we walked we would come across such a dirt wall, and each wall had a large number of holes, and each time it was Du Kang who was discerning the direction, and after passing a few forks in the road, I could not remember how to go back.
As we went deeper and deeper, the earth walls of the tunnel turned into stone walls, but oxygen became unexpectedly abundant, and I thought, if it wasn't because there were river veins deeper underground, or because there were other openings that went straight underground, bringing fresh air to this huge underground cavern.
On top of that, the dampness in the tunnels was getting heavier, and from time to time there were rotting rhizomes on the ground, which Dukang said were supposed to be leftovers from dwarf mules.
In one of the last tunnels we walked, the damp condensed on the stone walls and at the top of the tunnel, forming large droplets of water.
The Qi field of the evil god became extremely rich in this tunnel, and the corpse qi and demon qi became more and more turbid.
Along the way, Liang Houzai changed Lao Yang's evil charms three times, and if he lost the protection of these talismans, Lao Yang would be disturbed by demonic energy, resulting in illusions.
On the contrary, Liu Shangang, who also has no cultivation, has not reacted abnormally since entering the pit, and I estimate that his backpack may contain something that can dispel evil energy.
Leaving the last tunnel, we enter a cavern with an unusually complex structure.
To be exact, this is not a complete cave, but a huge group of different small caves, and when we first come out of the tunnel, we are faced with a cave the size of a football field, and the walls around the cave are covered with many holes of different sizes, and behind each hole, there are caves of different sizes.
Du Kang said that this kind of landform is very common in places infested by evil gods, and they call this kind of cave group "honeycomb hole", sometimes called "ecstasy cave", for ordinary people, such a place is easy to enter, but once you strayed into the depths of the cave group, if you want to get out, it is impossible without excellent luck.
However, because they have been dealing with evil gods for many years, they have long summed up a set of experiences in surviving in honeycomb holes, including how to get out of such holes.
But Du Kang also admitted that after entering the honeycomb cave, he could not distinguish the location of the evil god.
Indeed, because the caves are connected to the caves, the flow of breath in the caves is chaotic, and it is difficult to find the location of the evil god by smell.
I remember snorting every time I was looking for directions, and he was supposed to be looking for evil gods by smell.
Now the smell can no longer be used as a clue to find the evil god, so I can only use the Qi field, because the Qi field on the evil god's body is very heavy, I don't need to open the eyes of the sky to "see" their flow, so the guide was replaced by Du Kang to me, I took over him to walk at the front of the team, and he went to the end of the team to the back of the hall with Liang Houzai, and when I was exploring the way, the second master followed me.
After walking so many forks in the road, I can't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, but I still remember that when I sensed the Qi field on the ground, the evil god's Qi field was on the east side of the valley.
At this moment, the Qi field on the left side is thicker than the right one, so I judged that the hole on the left hand side should lead to the east of the valley.
I got into the hole first, and when I saw that there was nothing unusual in the hole, I waved to the people behind me and motioned for them to follow.
"The evil god is leaving his position, and his fire is very strong." The second master followed me into the cave and said casually.
I said, "In such a place, the flow of breath is chaotic, and it is easy to give birth to demons when leaving the position, and it is also easy to transform corpses. Second Master, I suspect that there is not only an evil god in this place, but also a demon corpse. ”
The second master frowned: "What is a demon corpse?" ”
I thought about it for a moment and said, "That's it...... A demon corpse that a youkai becomes after death. ”
"And this kind of thing?" The second master said thoughtfully: "I thought that monsters were different from ordinary creatures, after all, their spiritual energy is heavy, and they are not easy to be eroded by evil qi after death, I thought they would not be corpsed." ”
I didn't say anything more and kept walking.
I have to say that the second master's words are reasonable, compared with ordinary creatures, monsters are indeed extremely difficult to transform. But the Han man who looked similar to Luo Youfang gave me another worry. I suspect that the mountain demon that the Black King dealt with back then was actually a demon corpse, and it may have been directly refined into a corpse when it was alive.
In other words, the mountain demon may have been refined into a living corpse, I saw a document from an ancient book in the Soul Village, which said that the living corpse is difficult to practice, because those refined creatures have three souls and seven spirits, and they are not close to evil spirits. Of all the species in heaven and earth, the human physique is the most difficult to adapt to the evil qi, and it is also the most difficult to be refined into a living corpse.
