Chapter Fifty-Seven: The First Time I Arrived in Your Land
As the sun sets, the sky is as bright red as blood.
Under this sky, red by the setting sun, is a vast plain. On the plains, there are no verdant meadows, and there are no herds of cattle and sheep. There were only stumps and severed arms in one place, and the animals that came to eat.
At least tens of thousands of people died on the ground. Most of them wore simple bamboo armor, and some even wore coarse linen clothes. The corpses have not yet stinked, and it seems that the war has not been over for long. Now is the time when the meat is at its most tender.
Dylan stood among the corpses all over the place, a little dazed, glancing around. What the hell happened? Who threw me here? Why did he do it? Countless questions were rolling in my head, but I didn't know who to ask for answers.
Half an hour earlier, Dylan had landed on the plain with a cloud of black smoke. Dylan only remembered that he had been captured by the mischievous elf Aesop, and that he was in the palm of his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he was enveloped in black smoke. Then the black smoke wrapped itself in it and flew for a long time, and when it was able to move, it was in the air of this plain.
Dylan examined his body, a wooden heart, a scimitar, a suit of clothes, a bag of gold coins and gems, and ····· Nope. Next, determine where you are now, look at the corpse on the ground, hairstyle, body shape, face, and... Katana.
"So here it is····· ?”
Dylan covered his head and thought about it, feeling that it was only a few hours, and what route he had just taken, this was from the elemental realm to the island country. Are you mistaken?
"There's a mess in my head, I'm going back to America right away, and Old Man Osborne should be waiting for me in America. If there's anything going on, let's go back and talk about it. Dylan followed the wheel tracks on the ground, unsure of the situation, it was better to keep a low profile, and the flight would be free for the time being.
The sun was setting quickly, and the sky was getting darker.
"Not to mention, walking alone on the plains of corpses in the dark night is a different taste. Dylan thought to himself: "It would be fun if a monster suddenly ran out at this time, otherwise ghosts can do it, aren't there many demons and monsters in the island country?"
Coincidentally, Dylan was thinking about the monster when a man wearing a high-crowned robe appeared in front of him. Because it was already dark, the man didn't notice Dylan's approach. He had a lantern in front of him, standing in front of a corpse about 800 meters away from Dylan, muttering to himself, and he didn't know what kind of ghost spell he was chanting.
Seeing that there was a living person, Dylan didn't make any sound, he slowed down and leaned over. When I got closer, I saw clearly that the one who was standing there was a yin-yang magician.
"I didn't sleep at night and ran to this battlefield full of corpses, it turned out that I wanted to take advantage of the evil spirit and flesh and soul of the battlefield····· Refining ghosts. Dylan sneered a few times in his heart: "I really don't know how to write dead words." Running to the battlefield even ghosts, you are not afraid of ghosts just practicing to achieve backlash. ”
In front of the Onmyoji lay a ghoul who had been practicing for many years, and the ghoul was stout with white sharp horns on his head and shoulders. His body was blue, and his body was covered with ghost spells painted with ox blood. Seeing that today is the full moon, the Onmyoji plans to let the ghouls absorb the evil energy of the battlefield and some unjust souls who died in battle, and use the full moon to cleanse the ghouls.
If this matter is successful, the ghoul will of course be greatly strengthened, at least it will have the combat power compared to the baron. However, if it fails, the best outcome is that the ghoul is scrapped and the Onmyoji is seriously injured. If the ghoul is not scrapped, there is a chance that the onmyoji will not be able to control the trained ghoul and will be swallowed alive by the ghost.
"Ghost refiner, being eaten by ghosts, your death is not unjust. ”
Dylan stood behind the Onmyoji, holding his arms, intending to see how he died.
The yin wind gusted on the plains, and the onmyoji held the meridian duel with both hands, and his eyes were fixed on the ghouls. Halfway through the incantation, an accident occurred. Perhaps it was the excess Yin Qi that the Onmyoji brought when he cast the spell, and this Yin Qi actually attracted the youkai who was originally planning to gnaw on the corpse.
In the darkness, a pair of animalistic eyes emitted a red light appeared.
Coming out of the darkness was a young girl in a kimono wearing a white moire. The girl had a delicate face, no shoes or socks on her feet, but only a pair of white little feet.
Her face turned pale under the illumination of the lantern, and she turned her head to look at Dylan, probably thinking that Onmyoji was easier to bully, so she still set her eyes on Onmyoji. She asked seductively, "Little brother, why are you here alone? It's too cold here, my house is warmer, do you want to come with me?"
Onmyoji ignored her and just continued to chant the incantation. Seeing that Onmyoji didn't reply, the girl didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, she slowly walked towards Onmyoji. When he walked fifty steps in front of the Onmyoji, a burst of green ghost fire suddenly appeared from the ground.
Yes!
The girl screamed and jumped backwards, rubbing her feet the ground, trying to extinguish the fire burning on the soles of her feet. The ghost fire is not so easy to be trampled on, and the girl is immediately covered by the ghost fire from her feet to her body. The quality of the kimono was not very good, and after being lit by the demon fire, it quickly burned into a pile of ashes, revealing only the white body, looming in the fire.
The girl who was burned to the pain showed her true colors, and she lay on the ground and stretched out eight more hands and feet from behind, turning into a humanoid spider woman. After transforming, the demonic energy that erupted on her body finally extinguished the ghost fire. However, she didn't seem to have a long memory at all, just swinging her twelve hands and feet, like a big spider, screaming and pounced on the Onmyoji again.
The Onmyoji still stood calmly in place, and when the Spider Girl stepped in front of the Onmyoji, a complete enchantment suddenly appeared on the ground. This time, Spider Girl had no room to escape, and as soon as she stepped into the barrier, she was burned to ashes by the ghost fire that rose from the ground.
This monster, Len has seen it in a book.
It is recorded that there is a wind **, when serving a certain lord, the red apricot went out of the wall, was found by the lord, and was thrown into a box full of poisonous spiders and executed. After death, the spirit of resentment turned into a human being, and often haunted the forest to seduce young men and take their lives, and it was said that they were afraid of fire. It is recorded in "The Legend of Monsters and Hundred Elephants" that she is called a spider woman, and it is a spider that changes into a human form and seduces a man. When a man is tempted for 3 days, he will take the first place to eat. In "Hyakki Night Walking", it is called the bride and is an extremely dangerous monster.
"There are so many ghosts in the island country! I just burned one and so many came. Dylan looked at the monsters crawling in from all directions.
