Chapter Twenty-Five: The Jackals
A dull sound like thunder suddenly sounded, and the voice of the man who was reciting the incantation suddenly trembled, and the clay slab held on top of his hands shook with it, and the light on it immediately diminished, and even small fragments scattered from it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
And that huge black lotus immediately shone brightly, instantly engulfing the just glimmer of golden light that had just occupied the edge.
The man was startled, and hurriedly tried his best to stabilize his mind, raised his voice again, and quickly recited the incantation, the flickering light on the clay board gradually stabilized, and continued to dissolve the prohibition on the black lotus.
"Concentrate."
Liu Minghao saw that the man had calmed down, so he swept behind him like a gust of wind and rushed towards the entrance of the passage.
As the ground trembled faintly, a tall figure staggered out of the depths of the passage.
What appeared in front of Liu Minghao's eyes was a monster with a jackal's head, his upper body was naked, his lower body was surrounded by gorgeous gold armor, his broad shoulders were painted with a giant python pattern, and he held a short scepter in his hand.
The appearance of the jackal-headed man is very similar to that of the kobold, only it is more hideous and terrifying, a pair of huge eyes protruding from the outside of the socket, and the fierce light flickers, if it is not for the lack of a little agile look, it is almost indistinguishable from a living creature.
Liu Minghao paused, then jumped backwards, avoiding the giant hand waved by the jackal, and at the same time, the long knife in his hand was raised, and the other big hand that came straight to the shoulder blade was removed.
In the sonorous sound, he only felt a huge force coming along the long knife, Liu Minghao's arm was numb, and the long knife fell to the ground with a bang.
Staggering to the ground, Liu Minghao immediately dodged and bounced backwards, avoiding the oncoming attack in time.
Huge claws whizzed down against his body, smashing into the hard ground, leaving a deep paw print and debris flying apart.
The jackal's strength is great, but its movement speed is slow, and although its attacks are extremely destructive, it can't pose much of a threat to Liu Minghao.
However, between dodging, Liu Minghao found that the target of the jackal seemed to be locked on his body, and several times it approached in the direction of the gate, without deliberately attracting attacks, as long as it moved in other directions, the jackal man would immediately turn around, move closer to the direction where he was, and let out a strange roar.
Whenever the voice sounded, Liu Minghao felt his heart tremble, his chest was tight, and something seemed to flash in front of him, disappearing extremely quickly, as if something was about to come out, but it was difficult to control.
Rao is that he has always been firm, and he has a feeling of wanting to shout loudly, but no matter what, he can't express the depression in his chest.
As the frequency of the jackal's roar gradually increased, Liu Minghao's brain roared continuously, like countless heavy hammers striking violently, making him have a splitting headache, almost unsteady on his feet, and could only barely dodge the attacks that kept falling.
"Ahh Liu Minghao's figure was slightly sluggish, he suddenly held his head in his hands, and let out a low roar, and suddenly felt that the depression in his heart had decreased slightly, and his dodging action slowed down, and the giant hand roared and fell on his head, smashing heavily on his shoulder.
A sharp pain hit, Liu Minghao fell to the ground, and immediately rolled on the spot, avoiding the attack that followed, until he hit the obstacle, then stopped, and lay motionless on the ground.
The jackal strode over, leaned over slightly, grabbed Liu Minghao's body, lifted him into the air, opened his mouth, as if he was about to let out a strange roar again, as if Liu Minghao, who was unconscious, suddenly raised his head suddenly, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then raised his right hand, and a series of indescribable hoarse syllables came out of his mouth.
His voice was extremely low, as if it came from the netherworld, and as the last obscure syllable disappeared, a black light emerged from his raised right hand, and it sank into the jackal's wide mouth like lightning.
The jackal-headed man immediately froze and did not move, his huge eyes blinked rapidly, and gradually covered with a layer of ghostly light, and a trace of the unique brilliance of a living creature appeared in his originally dull eyes.
Liu Minghao raised his head slightly, he was very close to the jackal, and he could see his face reflected in the huge pupils in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but feel slightly relieved.
Tentatively opening his mouth again, uttering another series of syllables that he didn't know what to do, the jackal-headed man tamingly lowered him to the ground, and then stood motionless like a robot that had lost energy.
Feet on the ground, Liu Minghao quickly swept the direction of the gate, only to see the huge stone gate clearly recognizable, in the center of the stone gate, the largest black lotus only has part of the energy left in the heart of the flower, the petals have turned golden, the golden mangs slowly and firmly converge towards the center, constantly eating away at the black flower heart, and soon the energy in it will be exhausted, completely lifting the ban.
Seeing that victory was in sight, Liu Minghao let out a sigh, slowly rubbed the inky black soul suppression bottle in his hand, his tense back relaxed slightly, and then he felt the unbearable pain coming from the broken shoulder blade, so he took out a red pill from the storage bag and put it into his mouth, while waiting for the pain to fade, he looked up at the jackal in front of him.
When he was disturbed by the roar of the jackal, strange sounds continued to echo in his head, disturbing him and causing him to have a splitting headache.
It was hard to describe what kind of sound it was, like a roar from the endless abyss, like a ghost's cry, and until now, that strange feeling was still deeply engraved in his nerves.
Recalling that feeling, Liu Minghao's body couldn't help but tremble violently, if it weren't for the jackal's attack that seriously injured him, the severe pain temporarily pulled back his sanity, as long as that state lasted for a few more minutes, then he would probably collapse and die of madness.
The breath of blood poured into his breath, like a bolt of lightning, slashing into his mind, countless images rolled rapidly in it, and disappeared in a flash, he seemed to see something, and it was as if he had seen nothing, and the last thing that remained in his memory was those few difficult and obscure incantations.
Even now, Liu Minghao doesn't know what kind of language it is and what kind of meaning it has, he only knows that the soul bottle he holds in his hand is the magic weapon of Anubis, the god of death in Egyptian myths and legends, and those few spells are the key to controlling the soul bottle
The jackal is the slave of death, its soul is sealed in the soul suppression bottle, Liu Minghao recited the corresponding spell, and while releasing the soul, he gained control of it and became its master.
Five minutes later, just as Liu Minghao successfully shrunk the jackal to a normal height and wanted to try how to control it, he suddenly remembered the man's excited shout in his ears.
Liu Minghao immediately turned around and walked towards the man, and the jackal-headed man followed behind him.
Above the stone gate, several dazzling golden lotus flowers rotated in turn, turning faster and faster, and finally turned into a piece of golden light and bloomed, as the light gradually dissipated, the closed door made a dull sound, and slowly rose upward.
"What is this?" The man looked at Liu Minghao beside him with a look of asking for praise, and was about to speak, when he suddenly found the jackal-headed man who was close behind him, and he was immediately shocked and took two steps back, almost hitting the stone gate behind him.
"That's going to come later." Liu Minghao glanced at the man expressionlessly, did not answer his question, looked over his shoulder, looked ahead, with a faint coldness in his eyes.
Seeing Liu Minghao's somewhat ugly face, the man seemed to realize something, and immediately turned around slowly, looked at the scene in front of him, and let out a hey, revealing a helpless wry smile.
As the heavy stone gate rises, the dazzling sunlight pours in, revealing the endless desert and the small oasis dotted in the distance.
In front of the two of them, dozens of meters away from the stone gate, there were dozens of men in black who were armed with rifles and were menacing.
At the front of the line was an old man in a black robe, wrapped in a black cloak, with gray hair, and a wrinkled face with undisguised anger.
In the dull roar, the stone gate was completely raised, and the figures of the two were completely exposed in front of everyone's eyes.
In the vast desert, the scorching sun is in the sky, there is not a trace of wind, the two sides are far away, the air seems to be frozen, the invisible tension is constantly fermenting, and the crisis is about to erupt.
Dozens of black holes of guns were aimed at the two people standing at the door, and in the face of such a scene, even if Liu Minghao was confident enough to dodge the speeding bullets, he could also feel the invisible pressure.
"Heh, hehe, don't be impulsive, it's all a misunderstanding." The man spread his hands and tried to say something, breaking the oppressive dullness, only to be interrupted by a barrage of gunshots.
"Bang bang."
The bullet flew and landed on the sand beneath the man's feet, sending up a few wisps of smoke, and he immediately took a step back and honestly shut his mouth.
The old man led by stepped forward, raised his right arm slightly, and the black and shiny light machine gun in his hand made a clear clicking sound, and the muzzle of the gun, which was still emitting green smoke, moved up slightly, aimed at the two of them again, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you, you dare to break into the forbidden land of our clan, so bold." ”
"I told you about it, it was just a misunderstanding." Seeing that Liu Minghao was still silent, the man reluctantly took on the important task of communication, and waved his hand at the old man with an angry face.
"Misunderstanding? There are many institutions in the clan land, and each entrance is guarded by forbidden laws, if you are not thieves, how can you enter? The old man said angrily and raised his hand suddenly, "Since you dare to enter, you must have the consciousness of death." ”
"Ah, don't be impulsive, don't ......" As soon as the man saw that the other party was about to shoot, he hurriedly waved his hands, thinking of stopping the old man from giving the order, but found that the other party's face suddenly showed a look of horror, his eyes looked straight behind him, and his arms were also stiff in mid-air, trembling slightly, but he did not fall for a long time.
The dozen or so black-clothed people standing behind the old man also seemed to have been immobilized, holding guns, their eyes wide open, and their faces were also full of disbelief and horror.
The man subconsciously turned his head sideways, and couldn't help but gasp, only to see Liu Minghao retreat to the side at some point, where he was originally standing, the extremely hideous jackal-headed man, holding a long knife in his hand, was slightly bowing his head, looking at the people in front of him.
