Chapter 35: The Crisis Comes
Wen Xun raised his hand, the water in the well flew up, the water column was as thick as the waist of a ten-year-old tree, turning into a soaring snake and rushing towards the old man, the old man screamed, fell from the stool, supported the ground with both hands, and retreated with both feet, his eyes full of fear.
The jet of water brushed past him and landed in the tank behind him, which was instantly filled.
The old man looked at Wen Xun fearfully, Wen Xun raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile, "Is there enough water?" ”
"Enough, enough, let's go! Let's go! The old man kept shivering.
When leaving, Su Jingtang playfully said to Wen Xun: "If he is really an immortal who descends to the earth, if you do that, no immortal in the heavenly realm will dare to ask you." ”
"Whatever." Wen Xun looked meaningless, raised his hand, moved his fingers, and the red fruit appeared in his hand, he opened his mouth and bit it, eating it with relish.
High up, a vulture flickered, clawed at it, looked down and saw that the fruit was gone, he looked up and roared, so angry that he danced in mid-air, and finally fell into the forest because he forgot to wave his wings.
*
The wind and drizzle outside the ancient temple are oblique, the sky is dark, the fire in the ancient temple is swaying, and the fragrance of meat is overflowing.
Wen Xun sat in front of the fire, roasting the pheasant in his hand, the firelight jumped on his face, his eyes were serious, and his movements were skillful.
"I don't know how many youkai that dog thing will find to toss us, don't listen to suspicious youkai lately." Wen Xun explained while roasting meat.
"Uh-huh." Su Jingtang sat next to him with his knees crossed, nodded obediently, sometimes looked at him, sometimes looked at the pheasant, and licked the corners of his mouth, "How long is it?" ”
"It won't be long, his plan has failed repeatedly, and if he really wants to kill you, he will definitely not be able to endure it for long." After Wen Xun finished speaking, the flames in front of him shook violently, and he stopped turning the roasted pheasant, and raised his eyes to look at the half-covered door of the ancient temple.
"Wen Xun, I'm going to be confused." Su Jingtang sucked his saliva and stared at the pheasant.
Wen Xun came back to his senses and handed her the roasted pheasant: "Hurry up and eat it, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle later." ”
She only heard the first half of the sentence, and the second half was forgotten by her after biting the pheasant, and she tore off the chicken with a big mouthful, and bit off the roasted chicken bones without changing her face.
There seemed to be a black shadow flashing around, and the sluggish Su Jingtang also felt it, hurriedly swallowed the last bite of meat, put down the broken chicken skeleton, moved his body towards Wen Xun, a pair of eyes gurgled and rolled, and his oil-stained fingers secretly wiped his sleeves.
"Wen Xun, it seems to be haunted." Su Jingtang hugged his weak self with a clean hand.
"This is the demon world, there is no such thing, besides, you are a demon, what kind of ghosts are you afraid of?" Wen Xun finished speaking in confusion, and stretched out his hand towards her, "Lend me the sword." ”
Su Jingtang let out an "oh", took out his long sword and put it in his hand: "Are you going to fight?" ”
"Hide behind me and don't run around." Wen Xun got up suddenly, and swung his sword at the black shadow on the wall, and the black shadow immediately came to life, scrambled on the wall, and slipped away in the form of a rope.
"Let that man come out, always hide and hide!" Wen Xun pointed at the black shadow with high spirits.
The black shadow broke away from the wall, separated into five or six black ropes, and snaked to dodge the sword in Wen Xun's hand, rushing towards Su Jingtang behind him.
"Get out of the way!" Wen Xun turned around and shouted.
"Hmm......" Su Jingtang was just about to hide, and when she looked down, her waist had been tied, she reacted and took out a dagger from her sleeve.
There seemed to be someone in the darkness who snorted contemptuously and was very disdainful of Su Jingtang's actions.
In the next moment, the dagger directly cut through the black shadow, and the black shadow was stung and quickly retracted.
The black marks left on her waist made Su Jingtang very uncomfortable, she frowned and looked at the black shadow, cheered up, and clenched the dagger: "Shadow demon? ”
Where did you see it, and where did you see it?
The Shadow Demon laughed: "The little girl looks stupid, but she actually knows the Shadow Demon. ”
Shadow Demon, as the name suggests, is a demon in the form of a shadow.
As a non-living being, being able to turn into a demon must have experienced something that ordinary beings have not experienced.
Perhaps it was the immortals who turned into spirits; Perhaps it is the resentment of mortals, abandoning the flesh and clinging to the shadow; Maybe it's the demon who enters the body, relying on the evil door to turn the demon into the demon.
The shadow demon in front of him is turbid, like a demon but not a demon, and his form is arbitrary, which is obviously not easy to deal with.
"The black-robed man sent it again? Is he finished? Su Jingtang ran behind Wen Xun angrily and began to take out the weapon in his sleeve.
A big hand held her hand, Su Jingtang looked down, went up his arm, and saw Wen Xun's solemn face, she followed his gaze, and the wall was full of shadows at some point, like a ghost under the firelight.
"Get out first, don't be trapped!" Wen Xun hugged Su Jingtang and flew out, the shadow quickly closed in the direction of the gate, and the two of them slipped away from the gap at the last moment.
The shadows trapped the ancient temple, and the fire inside was extinguished, plunging the surroundings into darkness.
*
Night falls on the horizon, there are no stars and no moon, the light rain is at the beginning, the air is moist, and the surroundings are drowsy.
Two figures ran on the wet grass, with a slight "pop" sound under their feet, and several black shadows galloped like the wind, surrounding them, and the black shadows turned into black human figures and landed, unable to see their bodies and facial features.
Wen Xun slashed past with a sword, the black shadows scattered and gathered, laughing wildly, and from time to time stretched out his tentacles to touch Su Jingtang, Su Jingtang waved the dagger, and his whole body was tense.
Several black shadows wrapped around Wen Xun in unison, Wen Xun kept swinging his sword to cut off, and the spiritual power flew out with the sword qi, and was dodged by the black shadow cunningly, occasionally slashing the black shadow, the black shadow was annoyed and angry, and changed its form to tease and laugh at him.
There was a light sweat on his forehead, and from time to time he looked at Su Jingtang's state, a little absent-minded, and the shadow demon took the opportunity to tie his legs and slam him to the ground.
Su Jingtang held a bow and crossbow in her hand, adjusting her position from time to time, looking for the direction of the shadow demon, after hearing Wen Xun's movement, she looked sideways, a little frightened: "Wen Xun!" ”
"It's fine." Wen Xun stood up with his sword, remembering the black sword he conjured up on the day he fought with Yuan Qi, that sword could fight against Qi Qi, and it would definitely be able to fight against these eagle demons, but he didn't know how to make that sword manifest again.
There were countless images in his mind, and he couldn't still remember the details of that day, nor could he remember the abilities and spells he had.
The shadow demon turned into a rope to wrap around Su Jingtang's ankle and pulled her down, she subconsciously supported the ground with her hand, hit the ground with her elbow, her arm was numb and painful, she exhaled in pain and released a crossbow arrow.
The crossbow bolt pierced through the rope of the shadow demon, and the shadow demon quickly retracted its body, and its form expanded, covering the faint light in front of Su Jingtang's eyes.
Su Jingtang gasped, and kept hinting to himself in his heart that he wanted to calm down, he must be calm, and think about how to deal with them, or how to escape from here.
She looked around and remembered that the ancient temple was halfway up a mountain, where there were not many woods to hide, but the mountain was high and the road was steep......
Wen Xunfei fell in front of Su Jingtang and helped her up: "Su Jingtang, are you okay?" ”
A whip behind him was whipped behind his back, he frowned fiercely, didn't make a sound, and pulled Su Jingtang to fly down the mountain.
"Wen Xun, go to the top of the mountain!" Su Jingtang said in a deep voice, "I have a way to get us out." ”
Wen Xun didn't ask much, turned and flew up, the shadow demon laughed wildly and followed, tied Wen Xun's calves, and maliciously teased, provoking him to turn back and fight again.
"Keep going." Su Jingtang's tone trembled to stop him, plucked up the courage to turn around, hugged Wen Xun, faced the direction of the shadow demon, raised the crossbow arrow and released it towards the shadow demon, the shadow demon was a little annoyed in order to avoid the crossbow arrow, retracted the rope.
The crossbow bolt swirled, piercing through the Shadow Demon's body, and white smoke drifted out of it, and the Shadow Demon roared angrily, speeding up the chase.
Seeing that the shadow demon was about to catch up, Wen Xun's heartbeat accelerated, as if something was about to explode.
