Chapter 159: The Legend of the Huai Ghost
"Bang" There was an earth-shattering thunderstorm, followed by a flash of lightning in the air, and then the heavy rain fell, Xu Chen soaked his whole body with the rain, and half knelt on the ground and gasped.
He suddenly felt that he was really useless, and watched Mo Li and them rescue him from the encirclement of the bird demons, but he couldn't do anything, neither could he rescue Mo Li's three monsters, nor could he leave this ghost place, let alone find Lang Ji Guo and bring it back to treat Qianshuang Xue.
Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a noisy humming sound from the sound of "booming" rain.
He instinctively looked up, and found that the air was black, and countless bird demons were rushing towards the place where he was in a scream!
As if to cheer for the bird demons, a deafening thunder suddenly exploded above his head, followed by several serpentine lightning bolts that appeared in Xu Chen's eyes with an extremely hideous face.
"Not good!" Xu Chen's eyes suddenly tightened, realizing that Mo was already unlucky with them.
In his hazy eyes, he seemed to see Mo Li walking towards him, followed by Binghu and Yan Changsheng.
Just when Xu Chen was in a trance, a bird demon ghostly appeared behind him, and the sharp demon claws were as fierce as the scythe of death and clawed at Xu Chen's skull.
This strong demonic aura suddenly alerted Xu Chen, and he quickly turned around and drew his sword, casting a fierce counterattack on this monster.
The azure water aura and the pitch-black demon aura suddenly stirred, and the dazzling light intertwined and tore in the rain, and in an instant, Xu Chen and the overwhelming bird demon started a battle of life and death!
Xu Chen was immediately in danger, surrounded by the bird demon, but he was no longer afraid, and a violent killing aura erupted from his body, and the air flow mixed with the rain surged wildly, and the entire space seemed to be deformed and distorted with his anger and pain.
Even though he knew that he alone could not fight against this large number of ant-like bird demons, Xu Chen still frantically rushed into the deepest part of their encirclement, waving his fists non-stop, knocking these bird demons out one by one.
But the number of bird demons is too dense, and after only a moment of work, Xu Chen's body was covered with wounds, if it weren't for his anti-poison physique, I am afraid that the monsters who had already fallen and been swarmed over were torn to pieces.
His sleeves were ragged, and he was seriously injured, but Xu Chen still did not give up his fighting spirit, as long as he still had a breath, he would fight to the end, and the warriors of the Protoss were by no means a bad seed.
The lightning was gone, and the rain was still pouring down.
Suddenly, the song that I had heard last night came from the rain, word by word, and it reached Xu Chen's ears very clearly.
"The sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, as soon as you enter the Huaijiang River, all living beings are dead! The hero's soul is extinguished into the netherworld, who will collect the bones?"
The singing voice seemed to have great magical power, which instantly made Xu Chen forget that he was still struggling on the edge of life and death, and his eyes involuntarily stared at the past.
Suddenly, the earth became silent, and the harpys stopped attacking, their bodies froze in place, and even the torrential rain stopped strangely the moment the song sounded.
The clouds dispersed and the sky cleared, but the smell of death still hung over the vicinity and refused to stay away.
The next scene suddenly shocked Xu Chen.
He was surprised to see that the dense collection of harpies that surrounded him seemed to be extremely crazy and panicked at this moment, their hideous faces had been replaced by fear, their bodies trembled, and although the roar from their mouths still echoed in their ears, it was no longer fierce, but wailing!
Xu Chen watched in amazement as these bird demons scattered around in wailing, as if this ethereal and sad song was an indescribable terrifying existence for them.
A dazzling white aura suddenly lit up in the sky, and the woman's singing voice came from within the ring, and just as Xu Chen stared intently at the vision in front of him, in this aura that was getting closer and closer to him, a phantom gradually appeared.
The aura also began to change, and countless streamers of light emanated from this phantom, shining on Xu Chen's body, making him feel so warm, even healing the countless wounds on his body.
Finally, this phantom appeared in a state of substance, at first it was just a hazy image, and in the end it turned into a pretty young woman floating above Xu Chen's head.
Then she lifted her jade foot lightly and landed in front of Xu Chen.
Xu Chen's gaze shrank again, the grass that had just fallen from a rainstorm was full of mud and dirty things, but this mysterious woman's jade feet did not bring a trace of mud with her jade feet, and even her clothes as white as snow were not stained with any dirt.
She looked at Xu Chen with a smile, and continued to sing the extremely bleak ballad in her mouth.
With the complete appearance of this woman, the wail heard in Xu Chen's ears became more and more poignant, and the bird demons who were facing him with murderous aura were like mice seeing cats at this moment, all of them lowered their heads, and they did not dare to show any fierce expressions on their faces.
Finally, the woman stopped singing, and she spoke calmly, "Have you all had enough? As she spoke, she had already taken her eyes away from Xu Chen's side and swept towards the panicked bird demons.
The look in her eyes looked very soft, but the coercion contained in it made even Xu Chen, who was standing on the side in a daze, feel extremely depressed and terrifying.
And these bird demons who were swept by her gaze became even louder in their mouths, and some even knelt in the mud.
It is as if this mysterious woman who suddenly appeared is their supreme master, holding the power of life and death that cannot be disobeyed.
This indescribable fear, like a fighting spirit that can corrode the harpy, penetrates through their incomparably hard skin, penetrates into their bodies, and merges into their blood.
It was as if an order sounded in the invisible void, and the numerous bird demons scrambled to flee away, as if they stayed here for a few more moments, and they would die here, and their souls would be scattered.
Xu Chen watched in a daze as these bird demons fled from this place in embarrassment, and finally disappeared completely from his sight, only then did he come back to his senses and retract his gaze, realizing that at the critical moment, it was this mysterious woman who rescued him from the sea of suffering.
Looking at this flower-like woman, Xu Chen couldn't help but ask, "Are you a human or a ghost?" As soon as the words came out, his face turned red, realizing that such an abrupt way of asking was really rude.
The woman was amused by Xu Chen's stupid question, she pursed her lips and looked at Xu Chen with a smile, her smile was sweet, but there was a hint of mystery.
"Thank you, girl, for saving your life. Xu Chen settled down and arched his hand and said, "Please forgive me for taking the liberty of asking again, are you a fairy?"
While Xu Chen was waiting for the other party's answer, the woman beckoned to him and said, "Please come with me." ”
Seeing her walking on the grass like a light butterfly without touching the ground, Xu Chen was stunned and stood in place at a loss.
"I know you have a lot of questions in your mind, but this is not the place to talk, you follow me to a safe place, and I will naturally tell you everything. Turning around and seeing that Xu Chen did not follow her, the woman stopped and said, her words seemed to be a little urgent.
This time, Xu Chen no longer hesitated, and followed her all the way forward to meet the mysterious and unknown fate.
Unexpectedly, the woman actually brought him back to the village that was in ruins in the fight last night.
Xu Chen became more and more surprised, which showed that this woman knew about their residence in the village, but why did she come back here?
His mind was filled with all kinds of questions, but after all, he suppressed his curiosity and followed the woman all the way, instead of asking abruptly again.
The woman walked into a well-preserved house, and walked into the back room as if no one was around, and walked straight towards the back wall.
Seeing that her head was about to hit the dilapidated wall, Xu Chen finally couldn't help but speak: "Girl, be careful, don't hit the wall!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he involuntarily stepped back, and there was a look of fear in his eyes.
Xu Chen actually saw the woman's body pass through the wall and disappear behind the house.
"Did I see the hell alive?" Xu Chen's whole body trembled, and he suddenly realized that it was not a person who saved him, but a dead soul.
But the ghost is a yin spirit, how could it appear in broad daylight, Xu Chen thought about it for a while, and remembered that he had followed the woman all the way, she had not changed at all in the sun, and there was also her shadow on the ground.
This shows that she is by no means a ghost, after figuring this out, Xu Chen was surprised, he kicked open the almost rotten back door, walked out quickly, and went to the backyard to find the woman's traces.
The courtyard was quiet, there was nothing, Xu was because no one had lived in it for a long time, and the weeds on the ground had grown nearly a foot high, making it look desolate and silent, as if Xu Chen was the first person to arrive here after the owner of the house left.
"Girl, girl, where are you?" Xu Chen cried out at the top of his throat, suddenly feeling that Huaijiang Mountain was full of mysterious existences that he couldn't understand.
"I'm here. Xu Chen's exclamation was finally answered by the woman, but her voice came from inside the house.
Xu Chen couldn't help but be shocked again, and said secretly: "I obviously saw her passing through the wall, why is she still in the house?"
He returned to the room with a head full of questions, and suddenly trembled with surprise. Because Xu Chen saw the woman's face protruding from the back wall that disappeared just now, he said to him with a smile, "Come in." ”
Xu Chen was stunned, hesitating and not daring to step forward, for fear that his head would hit a few bags on the hard wall.
Seeing that he was hesitant, the woman reached out of the wall with her slender hand and dragged him into the wall.
"Ahh
"Where am I?" Xu Chen asked into the air, his curiosity getting stronger and stronger.
"Come on in!" was the same word, but this time the woman's voice came from where the white light flickered.
Hearing the prestige, Xu Chen found that it was a light cave that was a full person high, it was perfectly integrated with the surroundings, if it weren't for the light bursting out of the cave at this moment, it would be difficult for ordinary people to see that there would be a hole for people to enter and exit here.
At this moment, the entrance to the cave began to shrink, as if it would close completely after reminding Xu Chen that he would not enter again.
Xu Chen reflexively walked towards the entrance of the cave, and the entrance continued to shrink, and it had become a height that required a low body to pass through. This made Xu Chen no longer hesitate, he made a posture of shrinking his body and rushed into the hole where the light flickered.
It was just a flower in front of him, and the scenery changed again, Xu Chen found himself standing in the solid grass, and as far as the eye could see, there were cliffs all around, directly connected to the clouds, which made him unable to accurately judge how high they were.
And the place where he was a valley full of flowers, but it was also the same as what he saw outside, there was not a trace of life, and he stood for a long time without seeing a flying insect in front of his eyes, let alone a larger animal.
At this moment, Xu Chen heard the woman say with a smile behind him: "This is the only refuge in Huaijiang Mountain, and it is also the core area you want to find. ”
"Oh. Xu Chen subconsciously replied, and when he turned his head, his eyes immediately widened.
Behind the woman stood three one-person-tall statues, and Xu Chen recognized them at a glance as the petrified Mo Li, Bing Hu and Yan Changsheng!
"It turns out that you are in the same group as those bird demons!" Xu Chen suddenly realized that he had fallen into a trap, and his whole person had turned into a streamer, and he rushed towards the woman, and the roar resounded through the heavens and the earth.
"Demon girl, let me die!"
This blow was about to split the mountain and crack the rocks, and the flying ice sword made people suddenly feel cold.
"It's really impulsive...... the woman said lightly, "Just do it to me without asking anything, aren't you worried that you will regret it?"
When the words fell, the woman had stretched out her orchid finger and flicked it lightly at Xu Chen's fierce attack.
Suddenly, an attack that was faint enough to be like a dragonfly predatory flew out of her index finger and met the sword that Xu Chen slashed over.
The destructiveness between the two seems completely incomparable, and the woman's counterattack gives the feeling of a mayfly shaking the tree.
But when this seemingly weak attack collided with Xu Chen's sword, it burst out with an extremely dazzling brilliance in an instant, as if the sun suddenly burst out of its terrifying energy, covering everything in the world, and Xu Chen's attack died in front of her.
Xu Chen's face changed wildly, and he wanted to attack again, but the woman had already come to the front like lightning, reaching out and grabbing the cold ice sword in his hand.
Suddenly, a flame-like high temperature passed along the sword body to Xu Chen's hand, and he suddenly withdrew his hand as if he had touched a red-hot soldering iron, and immediately saw the cold ice sword turn into wisps of white gas in the woman's small hand and steam up.
She said calmly, "I have no ill will towards you, why do you want to fight against me?"
"It's you, it's you who caused them to turn into stone statues!" Xu Chen pointed at the petrified Mo Li and shouted angrily.
"The reason why they turned into stone statues is because they have been poisoned, what does this have to do with me?"
"You and those birds, demons, snakes and rats are in a nest, and they have set a trap to harm us! Brother Mo, they have been poisoned, and now they want to lure me into being fooled!"
As he spoke, the true qi gathered in Xu Chen's hand had turned into a roaring water dragon, and it attacked the woman with teeth and claws.
But the woman just stretched out her hand and waved it lightly, and the water dragon formed by his spell turned into invisibility.
Zhou Dian stared at all this blankly, with a look of horror on his face.
Although she only has the cultivation of refining the Void Realm, she is not a top master, but the woman can dissipate her attacks into the void so easily, and she can hardly detect the traces of true qi when she makes a move, which shows that her strength has become so strong that she cannot understand the realm.
Is she a god? This was the thought that immediately popped into Xu Chen's mind, but before Xu Chen could think about how to make another move, the woman had already spoken lightly.
"It seems that you have a deep misunderstanding of me, but I can tell you the truth, if you hadn't believed in the Huai Ghost, you wouldn't have ended up like this. ”
Xu Chen couldn't help but be stunned, and asked out loud, "Huai Ghost, what is he?"
"He's my nemesis, but we'll never see each other. Because the Great God of Ying Zhao used his divine power to separate the two of us before he fell, he had been wandering around the periphery of the Divine Mountain, deceiving cultivators who had mistakenly broken into the mountain one after another. ”
After saying this, the woman glanced at Xu Chen meaningfully, and continued: "You must have already met him, otherwise you wouldn't be in a desperate situation. ”
"I've met him, since I entered this lifeless Huaijiang Mountain, the living creatures I can see, except for those tyrannical and bloodthirsty bird demons, are you......"
Suddenly, Xu Chen couldn't say any more, and suddenly remembered the crazy old man who behaved strangely, and he couldn't help but say in a broken voice: "You mean that the old man with white hair like snow is the Huai Ghost?"
Before coming to Huaijiang Mountain, he heard Mo Li talk about the origin of Huai Ghost, it is said that he was a monster living in the Zhubi Mountains near Huaijiang Mountain, when the gods fell, Zhubi Mountain also sank to the bottom of the sea for some unknown reason, so this monster moved to live in Huaijiang Mountain nearby.
