Chapter 31: Escape

As soon as the copper coin whip touched Shi Shucong's wrists, it was as if it had taken root, and no matter how desperately it tore it, it couldn't break free from the shackles of the red thread that seemed to break at a moment's notice, and he couldn't help screaming.

The snake demon heard the strange cry of Uncle Cong, and lowered the snake's head in response, and Uncle Cong crawled quickly on the ground, trying to return to the snake.

"Give me the jade, and you can distract the snake demon." When Li Shu'er saw that Uncle Cong was about to run, he asked Yang Yi for a Pisces jade pendant, and on the other hand, he was about to rush over.

Yang Yi fumbled in a panic, took out the Pisces jade pendant from the inside of the robe and handed it to Uncle Li, and he used his foot to hook up a fragment of the terracotta warrior and kick it at the head of the snake demon.

The snake demon snake head swung slightly, blocking the flying fragments, taking this opportunity, Li Shu'er ran to the side of Shi Shucong, and picked up the Pisces jade pendant, just like a brick, and smashed it into the center of his eyebrows.

After a muffled sound, Shi Shucong fell to the ground with a bang, his eyebrows completely collapsed into his brain, and a gray-white smoke-like translucent gas came out of the depression, but then retracted, but after being hit hard by the Pisces Jade Pendant, the flames on Shi Shucong's body burned more and more vigorously, and there was a faint thunderous roar.

At this time, the snake demon also panicked, and the huge snake head looked around blankly, trying to find a way out and escape.

Uncle Li saw the snake demon's intentions, and asked Yang Yi to block the entrance to the tomb where they had entered and exited before, preparing to catch turtles in an urn.

The snake demon wandered back and forth between the ruins and broken walls composed of terracotta warriors and horses, trying to wait for an opportunity to escape from the encirclement of Li Shu'er and Yang Yi, while Li Shu'er and Yang Yi looked coldly at the stubborn snake demon and narrowed the encirclement little by little.

After a few minutes of confrontation, the snake demon suddenly let out a painful scream, Li Shu'er and Yang Yi looked at it, only to find that the burned and mutilated Shi Shucong was dragging half of his body, and was biting the snake demon's body to suck blood, gurgling sound, and the appearance was extremely terrifying.

"It's not good, this zongzi is going to fight to disperse and turn into a corpse demon, and he will die with us!" Uncle Li'er's face changed abruptly, and he ran over to hit Uncle Cong's head with a kick, but his old face immediately twitched in pain.

Although he didn't know what the corpse demon was, he knew by looking at Uncle Li's expression that it wasn't a good stubble, so Yang Yi also jumped over and slashed at Uncle Cong's neck with the other remaining short sword, preparing for a decapitation operation.

With a sword down, Shi Shucong's neck was unharmed, while the remaining half of his body began to turn out small red particles, which looked like a layer of blood mist.

"Run, run, run......" Uncle Li screamed, pulling Yang Yi to run again towards the entrance of the tomb where they had been in and out several times.

In the panic, Uncle Li did not forget to throw the silk back to the scene, and Yang Yi still held the short sword in his hand. however

At the moment when Yang Yi's body just entered the tomb, he felt that his back was burning, as if liquid had been splashed, and at the same time, he clearly heard the sound of an object bursting, followed by the screams of the snake demon, and after that, the entrance of the cave was covered by a thick blood mist, and the mouth of the cave continued to leave fishy blood.

Because he was familiar with the road, Yang Yi climbed fast in the tomb, but Li Shu'er slowed down, and his face showed a look of hesitation and indecision.

Halfway through the climb, Uncle Li stopped and asked Yang Yi to take off his clothes.

Yang Yi didn't know why, but he knew that Uncle Li must have done this for a reason, so he took off his clothes very obediently, but he was really startled by the scene in front of him: he saw that his chest was crawling with nails-sized turtle insects, which were "squeaking" and gnawing on his skin, and after a closer look, he found that Li Shu'er only drew the talisman on his chest before, shining brightly, forming a thin gas-like protective layer on his body, and those turtle insects couldn't bite through the gas despite their sharp teeth. It just tore at the tough-looking gas in vain, and made a tooth-chilling cacophony like grinding glass.

"W-What is this, uncle?" Yang Yi asked Uncle Li with chattering teeth.

"Corpse turtle, it's really a corpse turtle," Uncle Li glanced at those insects lightly, "That old zongzi just now was really desperate, by absorbing the blood of the snake demon to stimulate the demonic nature accumulated in his body, and wanted to splash the corpse poison in his body on us by self-detonation, so that we were poisoned and died, these corpse turtles are parasitic in the body of the old zongzi, and with the corpse poison splashing out, it fell on you, if I hadn't drawn a talisman on you in advance, you would have been bitten to the point of thousands of holes and intestines flowing out at this time." ”

"Don't talk about it, it's disgusting, help me get it." Thinking of the high-level ** corpse he had seen when he went to the police, Yang Yi felt acid in his stomach and couldn't help retching a few times.

"What is this, wait a minute...... Forget it, let's talk about it then. Uncle Li wanted to speak and stopped, just shook the palm of his right hand, and a layer of blue flames appeared in the palm of his hand, and Uncle Li used those flames to hit the corpse turtles, and those corpse turtles fell from Yang Yi's body one after another, but the ferocity did not change, and continued to gnaw at the stone wall in vain.

Getting rid of the corpse turtles in front of him, Li Shu'er concocted the same method, and removed the corpse turtles behind Yang Yi, and then crawled out of the tomb with Yang Yi one after another.

Returning to the tomb where they came in, Yang Yi glanced at the empty tomb with palpitations, and then turned back to look at the tomb they came in, it was still foggy and dark, but he felt unprecedented relief in his heart: he finally got rid of the snake demon and zongzi, and he could return to the ground safely.

However, Uncle Li's expression was not as relaxed as Yang Yi's, looking at the way he came, he said faintly: "Boy, do you believe in Uncle?" ”

"This," because of the thought that he would be able to return to the human world in a few minutes, Yang Yi was in a good mood, and couldn't help but make a bad mouth with Uncle Li again, "What to say, to be honest, every time I hunt ghosts and demons with you, I have a feeling of being deceived, because you never expected it, but I still believe you, and they all say that it is born from the heart, although you really look like that, hehe, you know, but you are definitely not a bad person, really, I believe in my intuition." ”

In the last sentence, Yang Yi said it from his heart, which made Uncle Li also moved, smiled bitterly, and said: "You can say that, Uncle is very pleased, this is also the fate of our grandfather, the fate of the previous life, okay, let's go." ”

After that, Uncle Li took out a red thread, tied one end to Yang Yi's wrist, and the other end was tightly clasped in his hand, and asked Yang Yi to put away the short sword he brought out in case of emergency, and then took the lead in walking into the cold mist.
