Chapter 57: Ambush
......
After all, the bed was occupied by the fox demon.
Looking at Xia Fan, who was lying on the floor and had fallen asleep, Li still felt some emotion in his heart.
Judging from the results, he really failed to pass the test, and was hit more than 40 times in an hour, and the hardships of wrestling alone were enough for him to endure.
Lai is not surprised.
From the simple feeling of qi to the change of perception qi, this intermediate level can be described as heaven and earth, it requires not only talent, but also day after day practice, until it becomes an instinct.
To her surprise, when she made her fifteenth sneak attack, Xia Fan had already reacted.
It is obviously impossible to dodge.
However, the moment she came out, she noticed that the other party's body was tense up, and his head was slightly tilted, and the direction she avoided was the route she was shooting.
It's incredible!
I remember that when Master trained her with this, it took her about half a month to catch the subtle tremors around her, as if she was opening an eye that didn't exist to the world for the first time.
But the human in front of him took less than two quarters of an hour.
How strong a foundation does this have to be to comprehend the trick so quickly?
The problem is that she is a fox demon and is born with a sense of qi, so she has a first-mover advantage over this kind of training itself. And Xia Fan is just an ordinary human - he has not even received the education of the family.
To be honest, Li Du wondered if he was too restrained, which led him to discover the flaws through other means.
This also made her work a little harder later.
But even so, Xia Fan's dodging movements became more and more obvious, until the last blow, he didn't let his tail knock him off the chair for the first time, but only crooked it slightly.
When she announced that this was the end, he was still addicted to it and wanted to practice a little longer.
Li Ze refused him without hesitation on the grounds that he would be eliminated tomorrow.
Looking at his sleeping face, the fox demon suddenly felt that he had suffered a loss.
He already knew about his past, but he knew very little about his past, except for the fact that he had been wandering for many years and had a monk master.
Shouldn't she inquire too?
For example, what did he go through to lay such a solid foundation for himself?
Li sighed and fell on his back on the bed.
In addition to "protecting investments", she actually came for another reason, and that was to make sure that he only focused on dealing with the evil spirit.
She had often ridiculed human self-deception, seeing only profit in her eyes and turning a blind eye to the evil that lurked beneath the evil, but now she found that she could no longer say the same thing as easily as she had in the past.
Because she is also involved in this interest.
Maybe there's a difference between a demon and a human...... It's not that big either.
Li couldn't help but feel a trace of loss in his heart.
However, this loss was quickly suppressed by her.
That's right, the reason why she did this was to save Master as soon as possible.
As for his likes and dislikes, honor and disgrace, he has long been thrown behind.
......
The next day, there were no new victims in Gaoshan County.
However, the source of the spiritual fire will lose its effectiveness when it is irradiated by the sun, and if you want to really solve the problem, you still have to completely destroy the abyssal ghosts.
By the evening, Xia Fan and his party had already gathered in the designated mansion.
After a day of preparation, the temporarily requisitioned house had been transformed into an ideal ambush - all furniture had been removed, leaving no container for the demons to hide, and a formation had been set up around the house by the gods, allowing only evil spirits to enter, and no escape until the formation was dissolved. Each of the six stood in a corner, forming a circle to limit the scope of the Abyssal Ghost's movement to the center of the hall, while Zhang Shenju was the "main swordman", who was responsible for pulling out the Abyssal Ghost and inflicting a fatal blow on it.
With a few bronze candlesticks lit, there was finally a fire in the mansion, but the light of these dozen or so candles alone could not dispel all the darkness in the house. There were still many places around the room that were pitch black, and Xia Fan's heart was faintly furious.
Especially when the flames flickered, he always felt as if something would suddenly emerge from those synchronously expanding shadows.
Really...... It's not easy to study evil.
This is not a taxi examination room, and there will be an invigilator to control the situation and take care of the situation. This is a real extermination, and no one will be surprised even if they die.
If there is one of the few things that makes him feel at ease, it is Li Li, who is also hidden in the shadows.
Although Xia Fan didn't know when the other party entered this place and where he was currently hiding, as long as he thought that there was a fox demon behind him waiting to support him at any time, he had a little more confidence to face the evil spirit.
"That...... Probably to ease the tension, Wei Wushuang couldn't help but ask, "Since the Yuan Ghost is not afraid of the sun, why didn't we choose to set up an ambush during the day?"
"There are so many things that are not afraid of the sun, toads, snakes, night owls, bats...... Then why do you think they are used to being out of the day and at night?" Zhang Shenju replied as he tinkered with the ghost trap at hand, "The same is true for the Yuan Ghost, not being afraid of the sun does not mean that it likes to commit murder in front of everyone, and then be torn apart by a hoe. Boy, you're the dumbest of the bunch. ”
Wei Wushuang's head suddenly drooped.
Unable to bear the embarrassment of his fellow villagers, Xia Fan hurriedly rescued the scene and said, "But we only know the approximate lurking range of the Yuan Ghost, if we want to lure it here, we should need bait, right?" He looked around, "There is nothing here now, will it really take the bait?"
"Bait?" Zhang Shenju showed a strange smile, "How could it not be, the bait has already been hung on the hook." ”
"What?"
"Evil spirits live on qi, and without qi, they are nothing more than a pile of cold and stiff accumulation. So who is more angry? Ordinary people or Fangshi?"
Xia Fan was stunned for a moment before realizing the meaning of the other party's words.
"Considering that too strong qi will also deter the target, I have sprinkled spiritual fire powder in the house beforehand," Zhang Shenju grinned, what he liked to admire the most was the shocked expression of the new Fang Shi, "For ordinary people, it is a weakened existence, and for Fang Shi, it is the best condiment." ”
- It was they who lured the demons to come.
Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
"What's so strange about that? The relationship between the hunter and the prey is always reciprocal—it hunts us and is being hunted by us. Overall, fair enough. With that, he placed the assembled wooden utensils in front of him, "Whew...... It's finally done. ”
"That's ...... A box?" Wang Renzhi said curiously.
"That's right, a trap that leaves it with nowhere to hide. Zhang Shenju pulled out the wooden sword at his waist and sat down cross-legged, "The next thing we have to do is to wait." ”
