Chapter 300: Fighting the Darkness
The smoke from the camphor incense, which had already filled the air, jumped above the heads of the five people who made up the pentagram. These smokes began to merge evenly, and within the circle drawn by Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng's blood on the ground, a whirlwind that rotated upwards was also generated.
This whirlwind was so big that Ouyang Yong's body, who was standing outside the circle, also shook, he spread his feet a little, and readjusted the balance of his body. He clearly felt that the inside and outside of the circle had been separated by some invisible force.
Ling Yu unconsciously looked into the air, and the smoke of the black camphor incense was gradually turning into a cover, covering the five of them with Xia Qiu, and the soul rejuvenation ceremony entered the most critical stage.
"Lingyu, concentrate!" Ouyang Yong reminded, "The spirit of life displacement has to return to the evil body!" The spirit of the exile of life has to return to the evil body......"
As he repeated the words, his voice continued to rise, and the hood formed by the black camphor incense became thicker and thicker. The five people in the pentagram began to feel suffocated at the same time, the oxygen in the hood was thin, but the carbon dioxide was increasing.
The first person who felt unable to breathe was Lingyu, he gasped hard, and cold sweat continued to break out on his body, which made it more and more difficult to concentrate, and he felt that his face and body were wrapped in layers of plastic film, but he couldn't break free.
No one had told him what kind of pain the people who participated in the soul return ceremony had to endure before, in fact, the soul return technique itself belonged to the darker realm of spells, so even in the demon world, very few people tried it, and it was the first time for everyone who helped Xia Qiu return to the soul this time.
One of Qianqi's hands happened to be in line with Ling Yu's hand, and he could clearly feel the coldness coming from Ling Yu's palm, and darkness and fear were intertwined with the cold. He tried to exert some more power on Ling Yu's hand to give him some support.
Ouyang Xiaoleng also has such a feeling, and he seems to understand the mystery of this. He felt that the five of them were working together to help Xia Qiu, confronting the dark power that still remained in her body from the pool of Origin Sin Blood. But this power itself seems to have a very high IQ, and it will choose the weakest link among them to attack, so the first one to be affected by it is Lingyu.
At this moment, he personally felt what kind of pain Xia Qiu had endured these days, and how vicious the soul exchange technique that caused her soul to not return to her body was. Along with the distress for her, there is a deeper hatred for Qingyun.
Mochizuki, who was on the other side of the spirit feather, also tried to join forces with the Thousand Riders to help him resist the erosion of the dark forces, but soon, he himself was affected by this power. At first, all he experienced was a feeling of suffocation and the feeling of being bound and bound, but later, he began to hallucinate.
In a trance, he suddenly returned to the center of the sycamore, and a ray of sunlight just shone directly at him, making him can't help but squint. The sweet laughter of the little snow rabbit came to her ears, and she took his hand and asked him to play with her on the swing. This should be a normal afternoon in her childhood, everything is so real, she is so happy in front of her, and he is also infected by her happiness.
But the picture suddenly jumped a frame, and it turned into Miao Xueyu's heartbroken face, and she said to him in a voice that had already cried to the point of weakness: "The poison in the little snow rabbit has recurred again, this time there is really no hope." ”
"What did you say?!" Mochizuki asked loudly.
He had the impression that Wu Fangming, a Chinese medicine, had cured her, at least she was gradually recovering, how could she suddenly become like this again? He couldn't accept Miao Xueyu's words, and he couldn't believe that his favorite little snow rabbit would leave him like this. He rushed into her room and watched as her face and lips had turned purple and black, breathing silky and her body getting colder.
"Wake up!" He patted her cheek and shouted, "No! ”
At the moment when he was about to collapse, Ouyang Yong's voice suddenly sounded in his brain, and the sound made him feel that time was starting to slow down, or even stop, and the sadness that tried to engulf him also became blurred.
"Mochizuki, face the fear in your heart, everything you see is just what you fear the most. You'll have to try to defeat it before you can help Xia Qiu regain his soul. ”
Under Ouyang Yong's guidance, Mochizuki finally realized that what was bothering him in front of him was nothing more than an illusion created by the dark forces, and he kept recalling what happened after the little snow rabbit took the antidote prepared by Fang Ming, so that he could be firm. When the illusion in the illusion can no longer blind his heart, the illusion disappears, but he is greeted by another terrible place.
Lingyu was once freed from the control of the dark forces due to the support of Senkashi and Mochizuki, but when Mochizuki began to waver, the darkness returned. This time it was even more violent, and he couldn't help but enter the illusion, which was a completely foreign world to him.
The scenery in this world was shrouded in golden light, and his body walked aimlessly in the pure white palace uncontrollably, and he didn't know why he had come to such a place. Finally, a man walked towards him, the man looked very tall from a distance, but when he walked in, Lingyu realized that he was actually similar to him. The man was born extremely beautiful, and the blue clothes on his body were styles he had never seen before, and the fineness of the cut was even better than that in the Chenji Palace.
He came to Ling Yu with an expressionless face and said, "Brother, your father already knows what you have done, I advise you to break it off on your own." ”
The man's tone was extremely calm, not to mention why he was commensurate with him as a brother, it was a matter of life and death, and he could take it so easily. He gave Ling Yu the same feeling as this palace, beautiful and spotless, but without a trace of life.
Ling Yu just wanted to escape from this uncomfortable place as soon as possible, but the long corridor of the palace seemed to have no end, and he couldn't help but shout loudly, "Who can take me out of here?!" ”
"Spirit Feather!" Qian Qi and Ouyang Xiaoleng were calling out his name almost at the same time.
Their voices were like a big hand, snatching him out of this void world at once. He felt like a meteor, constantly falling, but the feeling was familiar, and finally he landed in a cave.
"What is this place?" Qianqi stood next to him and asked.
"We've been here before, don't you remember?" Ouyang Xiaoleng reminded him.
"Source Sin Blood Pool!" Lingyu blurted out.
He immediately remembered that they had entered the Sin Blood Pool in the Earth Temple to find out, and now that they were in almost exactly the same place as there, it was clear that this should be another Sin Blood Pool.
Mochizuki and Ouyang Hongye quickly caught up from behind, and they looked at the pool of blood filled with black liquid in front of them, a little overwhelmed.
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the pool of blood, which at first seemed like a low moan, then turned into a contentless cry, and countless screams of pain echoed through the cave, causing them to cover their ears in unison.
"Look! That's ......," Thousand Riders shouted, pointing in the direction of the pool of blood.
A smoky arm was sticking out of the pool of blood, followed by the same smoky head, neck, and body, and behind it, humanoid monsters that were identical to it were constantly appearing, and these monsters were rapidly crawling towards the shore. All five summoned their weapons, ready to take on the challenge from the humanoid monsters.
"Wait, why is Xia Qiu in their hands, can't this be an illusion?"
Ling Yu found that in the distance, several arms that were probing the blood pool were passing a white-clothed girl to a platform in the center of the blood pool, and that girl was Xia Qiu.
Ouyang Xiaoleng entered the pool without hesitation, his move required a huge danger. No one knew what the consequences would be if he came into direct contact with the liquid in the Blood Pool of Origin, but he didn't think his comfort was anything compared to reclaiming Xia Qiu, this was his last chance, and he had to take it firmly and bring her back to the original world.
"Leave the monsters on the shore to us, you just have to take back Xia Qiu!" Ouyang Hongye said behind him.
"Good!" He didn't look back, and continued to grope into the depths of the pool of blood.
The battle on the shore has begun, and the humanoid monsters that crawl out of the pool of blood are the same monsters that Tianmeng Er controlled in the Temple of Fairy Lake, these smoke-like monsters are actually the souls of the souls who have converged into this pool of blood of the source of sin, and they have been tortured by evil spells after they died on the battlefield, and have long since fallen into slaves of the dark forces.
Hundreds of humanoid monsters surrounded Ouyang Hongye and the others, and some turned back into the blood pool, trying to stop Ouyang Xiaoleng.
Their demonic power is completely forbidden here, let alone flying, and even their attack power has been weakened a lot, so the battle with humanoid monsters has become hand-to-hand combat. The biggest headache for them was that those humanoid monsters were constantly slashing, and the weapons didn't seem to be able to hurt them in the slightest, only to slow down their movements temporarily. Even if they were cut in two, they would soon be reunited.
"Let's try to buy some time for Xiao Leng!"
Ouyang Hongye slashed at the humanoid monster in front of him with a sword as he spoke, while the other humanoid monster was trying to grab his left hand, and while he dodged quickly, he stabbed the sword in his hand at it again. But it didn't dodge the humanoid monster that attacked on the right, and was grabbed by its shoulder.
These non-physical monsters, their nails seemed to be able to pierce his body, in addition to the pain, there was also an extreme cold, which made half of his body sluggish, and several humanoid monsters around him also took the opportunity to pounce on him.
"If you want to catch Momiji, let's daydream!" Mochizuki let out a loud snort and swung the Moon Shadow Knife from behind the humanoid monsters, temporarily scattering them.
Ouyang Xiaoleng's body had also been submerged to his waist by the viscous black liquid in the blood pool, and the arms of humanoid monsters on both sides continued to stretch out towards him, while he was dealing with these arms that wanted to pull him into the blood pool, he stared closely at Xia Qiu, who was about to reach the central platform of the blood pool.
Just as they were performing a ritual for Xia Qiu, these humanoid monsters seemed to be performing some kind of ritual as well, and Xia Qiu's role in the ritual was supposed to be their sacrifice to the Blood Pool of Origin, which itself was accelerating to make her a part of herself.
Ouyang Xiaoleng was anxious, so he accelerated his speed, but he didn't want to catch Xia Qiu with his hand, but his feet sank, and the whole person fell into a pool of blood. The humanoid monsters worked together to wrap around his hands and feet, drenched in black liquid, and gradually dragged him towards the bottom of the pool of blood.
