Chapter 20: The Gladiatorial Fight I
That light came from many of the charms that Ruan Zhan had drawn. These paper objects were not soaked and destroyed by the river, but instead bulged and erected in the water like small transparent sails, forming a circle in which Ruan Zhan was placed. And Ruan Zhan's situation at this time is obviously not optimistic, it should be said that it is barely supported. His left hand pointed firmly straight ahead, and his entire right arm and legs were tangled in waterweeds. Those aquatic plants were dense and tough, as if they were alive and wriggling, and if you looked closely, it turned out to be dense long hair, grabbing Ruan Zhan like countless ghost claws, and some even tried in vain to tear off the oxygen tube on the diving suit.
Obviously, Ruan Zhan didn't expect the resentful spirit to merge successfully, so he was at a disadvantage from the beginning, and although he is still stubbornly persisting at present, he will definitely be consumed in the water if he continues like this!
Xiao Xia didn't have time to think, so she hurriedly opened the carton that she had been holding in her arms, and found that the candle rabbit had melted automatically, and now in front of her was a small blood-red wooden sword two inches long and covered with tadpole-like spells.
She carefully pinched the hilt of her small sword, not knowing what to do. But just as she hesitated, the vague 'figure' who had been standing outside the circle of spells with his back to her suddenly noticed that someone was coming to disturb her. It didn't move, but its head turned one hundred and eighty degrees to face Xiao Xia. It was draped in the hair that only people in the late Qing Dynasty combed, the flesh on its face was rotten and scattered, and even aquatic plants fluttered, small fish swam by, and the bottomless eye holes that had no eyeballs stared at Xiao Xia viciously, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Post "Death to the nosy! Although it didn't make a sound, Xiao Xia understood what it was going to say, and knew in an instant that it was the culprit of the whole thing, the resentful Xiucai!
It rushed towards Xiao Xia, Xiao Xia subconsciously closed his eyes and raised his hand, and the small wooden sword suddenly turned into a normal size and burst out with a dazzling red light, forcing Xiucai to flee in a hurry, and even the aquatic plants that bound Ruan Zhan in the distance screamed and turned into nothing. However, at the same time, Xiao Xia's protective bubbles also disappeared, making her feel the pressure and suffocation of the water, from the air environment to the brink of drowning.
She wanted to get closer to Ruan Zhan, swimming desperately and struggling to move in Ruan Zhan's direction, but the violent current pushed her farther and farther away from him, and she was about to fall into darkness again.
Ruan Zhan had seen Xiao Xia for a long time, but he couldn't take care of her when he was on the verge of life and death. Now seeing that she was about to become a snack for the evil ghosts waiting for the opportunity, he had to turn a charm closest to him into an invisible rope to quickly pull Xiao Xia to his side, and take off the oxygen mask and put it on her face.
Xiao Xia took a big breath, feeling suffocated that she didn't want to come a second time.
At this time, the evil ghosts who were staring at the sidelines saw this rare opportunity to break the protective circle of missing a charm in one fell swoop, and they were immediately surrounded by darkness that could not be seen, and all kinds of crying and laughter sounded around them.
Release woo -
The whistle-like whisper rang intermittently in their ears, the water surging around them seemed to be stroking and pulling at them, and waves of approaching gloomy air seemed to bury them underwater.
In this hellish darkness, they are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and Ruan Zhan is the only hope for survival. So even though Xiao Xia was scared to death, he still soberly groped Ruan Zhan's face, used the oxygen mask in turn, and handed the bloodwood sword into his hand, and went around his back in order not to hinder Ruan Zhan's actions.
Posted in the icy river water, through the thick wetsuit, Xiao Xia seemed to be able to still feel the warmth of Ruan Zhan's body and a strong and steady heartbeat, which made her confidence in defeating the Xiucai ghost a little stronger.
Holding the bloodwood sword, he used all his ability to feel the evil aura in the darkness, and while being vigilant against the attack of the resentful spirit at any time, he fumbled to unload the oxygen tank and hang it on Xiao Xia's body, and protected her in his arms and slowly swam in the opposite direction with the whistle. He instinctively believed that the whistle had no malicious intent, so he decided to trust it.
Although he knew that he would have to make a break with that resentful spirit today, its unexpected merger succeeded in multiplying its strength, making him suffer a dark loss as soon as he came up, and if it weren't for Xiao Xia's sudden appearance, he would probably be trapped here and die.
Now his protective barrier is shattered, and its barrier is shrouded in waves around it, engulfing them at any moment, or making it impossible for them to escape. Of course, the Bloodwood Sword can kill resentful spirits of this level, but it is clever to hide in the dark so that he can't find it, and the long-term self-sealing has made his ability sleep in his body, and he can't fully exert the power of the Bloodwood Sword at the moment, not to mention that he has Xiao Xia who shares an oxygen tank, so they will drown under the river due to lack of oxygen.
Now he can only hope that the next section of the river that suddenly becomes shallow will allow Xiao Xia to leave, and he can give it a go. The problem was that the oxygen content meant that he didn't have that much time, and he couldn't deal with the attack of the fish breaking through the barrier at the same time.
Suddenly, the Bloodwood Sword buzzed and trembled, making him realize that in its lid-like barrier, there were not only pursuers behind him, but also something blocking the way in front of him.
Is publishing the souls it controls?
Released he didn't know. He could only take out the last spell he used for self-defense and cast it on top of their heads, so that the light emitted by the charm could illuminate at least a few meters in a radius.
In front of them was a stone crate, just on the edge of the barrier. Due to its age, the stone crates in the half-sunken silt at the bottom of the river are already covered with moss. Its lid was tightly closed, but there was a banging sound from inside, as if something was about to struggle out. The spirits that had been following them were nervous when they saw the stone box, and they approached despite the danger.
The release of all this made Ruan Zhan excited, knowing that the burial place of Xiucai, who he had never found, was here, and he faintly felt in his heart that he could take advantage of the panic of the resentful spirit to solve the problem, although it was dangerous, but it was very promising to succeed.
At the same time as the release, the Xiucai demon realized that his life was exposed, so he rushed over desperately. It knew that it couldn't compete with the power of the Bloodwood Sword, so it turned into countless tiny aquatic plants and shot at it, making Ruan Zhan, who had not yet been able to fully exert the power of the Bloodwood Sword, rush for a while, and blood leached out of the injured places, and the aquatic plants that pierced his body turned into hideous imps with sharp ears and sharp mouths, squeaking and drilling into his body, and several of them were even going to bite Xiao Xia behind Ruan Zhan.
Xiao Xia was scared to death, but she couldn't stay away from Ruan Zhan, and watched him choke on water and die. At this moment, her mind was very clear, and while dodging the attack of the little ghost, she sent oxygen to Ruan Zhan from behind. Then, when he was sure that Ruan Zhan could hold his breath for a while, he pounced in front of the stone box that had been loosened by the dancing bloodwood sword, and pushed the lid open vigorously.
She was stunned when she released it!
The stone box was not large enough, and the white bones inside were horribly twisted, but the hair and teeth were intact, one fluttering with the water, the other percussion, as if chewing something. At the feet of the bones were many bundles of hair, which were now creaking and trying to crawl out.
The weirdest thing about the release is that there is a bright red heart in the chest cavity of the white bones!
Release Plop, Plop, Plop!
