Chapter 380: The Shadow Reappears
Maybe it's because I'm in a good mood, and everyone who works has a little motivation.
So much so that it only took us ten minutes to reach the top of the mountain.
The first moment I arrived at the top of the mountain, it was not the dilapidated log cabin that attracted me, but the three locust trees outside the door.
The locust tree grows poorly, as if it is dying of old age. Almost as soon as I saw the locust tree, I knew there was something wrong with it.
Because I found that the locust tree is not growing badly, but like there are parasites underneath the locust tree, which is constantly gnawing at the inside of the locust tree.
Of course, this is a metaphor, and I would say that the life force of the locust tree is being sucked by some kind of parasite-like guy.
And when I walked into the locust tree to take a closer look, I found that the base of the locust tree seemed to be constantly renovated, and it was always bare.
And this bare area is still spreading, and now it has spread to a radius of one meter from the locust tree, and there are no plants left.
There is only one reason for this, and that is that the locust trees on the land are often replaced.
And why are locust trees being replaced?
That's to go back to what I found out in the beginning, that the locust tree is being stolen by something.
And here, what the locust tree uses to survive is the yin energy, that is, something is constantly stealing the yin energy of the locust tree.
The answer is already obvious, that is, the 'shadow' corpse under the locust tree is constantly stealing the yin qi of the locust tree.
I, Mr. Fu, and Miss Chen realized this almost at the same time.
I saw the three of us squat down almost at the same time, and then quickly took out a shovel and dug under the locust tree.
It's just that the excavation process didn't go well, and I just dug a few hoes when there was an abnormality under the locust tree.
The sound of crying came to my ears, and I slowly turned my head to see a little boy I had never seen before appear in front of me.
"Uncle, can you stop beating me? I'm in so much pain. β
The boy cried and said to me, and I felt a wave of doubt.
Where did this boy come from? Also, where did I hit him?
The boy seemed to be able to read what I was thinking, and then he walked slowly to the locust tree, looking down at it.
"Look, uncle, my wounds are ...... here"
A cold voice came, and I subconsciously looked at the place where the boy was pointing, and suddenly felt my scalp tingle.
I saw that on the root of the locust tree, I don't know when I dug a hole, and blood was slowly emerging from this hole.
"What the hell!"
I reacted quickly.
Where is this little boy, this is clearly a ghost!
I'm also naΓ―ve, how could there be a little boy on the top of Longquan Mountain in such darkness!
It's clear that the devil is here to stop me from digging down!
"Fujun, Miss Chen!"
After realizing that the boy in front of me was a ghost, I immediately called out to Fu Jun and Miss Chen.
But the strange thing is that after I finished shouting, there was no sound here except the little boy's snickering laughter.
I hurriedly turned my head, only to find that Fu Jun and Miss Chen, who were supposed to be behind me, were empty at the moment.
Not only was it empty, but even the wooden house was gone at this moment.
There was only darkness left behind me, as if I had been abandoned by the world.
The boy's playful laughter echoed in my ears, but it wasn't funny, and all I could feel in the absolute darkness was the scalp-tingling horror.
"Who are you? What the hell do you want to do? β
I immediately looked at the boy, but the boy was still crouching on the ground, only the constant shaking of his body and the sound of his laughter were heard with the shaking of his body.
"Uncle, I said, you hurt me."
"Didn't you hear?"
The boy raised his head suddenly, only to see that the boy's face was bleeding at the moment, and he had lost the pupil in his eyes, leaving only the whites of his eyes.
And on the boy's cheek, there is a deep wound that is slowly bleeding blood.
I looked at the wound on the boy's face, which was exactly the same as the one I had dug up at the root of the locust tree.
Then, the boy with a bloody face walked slowly towards me, and as he went, he kept saying strange words in his mouth.
"Uncle...... You're hurting me, I'm so hungry......"
"Otherwise, uncle. You gave you to me, didn't you? So we don't owe each other. β
"Uncle, you know what? On the day I died, I was the same as now, hungry, cold, and wanted to kill! β
The boy's figure disappeared in an instant, and by the time I realized it, the whole person's ear was suddenly gnawed off!
I felt a pain and then flames erupted from my hand and slapped at the boy behind me.
But the blow came crashed.
When the boy reappeared, it was on my head, and he was bare with relish.
The chewing sound sounded, and when a drop of blood landed on my face, I realized that this thing was eating my ears!
The anger that arose from the pain and the ridicule I was made of it made me angry.
Then, as if sensing my anger, the boy lowered his immature face and looked at me.
"Uncle, don't be angry."
"If you're angry, the meat will get old."
Such a childish voice, coupled with such terrifying words, makes people feel a chill in their hearts.
But at the moment, I don't care so much.
Anger had destroyed the last of my sanity, and I only felt in my head like a thousand bulls trampling my brain again!
I saw that my eyes began to flush, and an inexplicable force emerged from my hands.
I lowered my head with what little consciousness I had left, only to see a huge bead appear in my hand.
This is the Soul Eater Bead that was supposed to be in the hands of Fu Jun!
And the bead was reddening slightly, and I suddenly realized that the mysterious power was coming from the Soul Eater Bead in my hand.
"Soul Eater Bead...... You...... No way! β
Suddenly, the boy saw the Soul Eater Orb in my hand, and his face showed horror.
Then, a few dodges, and the boy's figure appeared in the darkness in the distance.
But it seems that he can only flee somewhere, and now the darkness is like a kind of enchantment. There is no escape.
"Devouring ...... Soul...... Bead. β
I slowly pronounced the name of the Soul Eater Orb in my hand, but for some reason, I couldn't remember what it was.
Maybe it's because my consciousness is starting to become dull.
I slowly raised my head, but when I raised my head, all the whites of my eyes turned into eyes.
Like the ghosts, the eyeballs disappeared.
