Chapter 28: Amulet
"Turn around here, there is a small road, and it will take me ten minutes to get there."
Jiang Haowen replied as he looked around, his yellow pupils flickered with fluorescence, as if he could penetrate the dense trees and see farther away.
The green-eyed owl on his shoulder was not idle, his neck kept spinning, and from time to time he would stare at the sky, attentive and distracted.
All the details and features further lock the judgment of the Night Chiller.
Jiang Haowen's authority is "scout"!
"Hey, Xiaomeng, look to the right."
"Fifty meters to the right, in front of the dark green tree, do you see?"
Following Jiang Haowen's slightly surprised voice, Jiang Meng turned his head to look, and immediately showed an interested look on his pretty face.
"Is that a candle imp? It's a small one, it's too young! ”
"It shouldn't be young, but it hurts the soul body and seriously damages the origin."
Jiang Haowen shook his head, "It's a pity, this is also a high-quality spirit species." ”
"If a family owner with an ordinary family can sign a contract, he may be able to jump classes in the future."
"But this is only a waste, I estimate that there is a greater possibility, that is, a part of the soul body was devoured by a stronger ghost-like spirit, although it is not dead, but it is permanently disabled."
Jiang Meng was thoughtful and muttered to herself:
"I've seen in books that this kind of injury involving the origin seems to be extremely difficult to heal."
"Even if a lot of resources are invested, it does not mean that 100% of them can return to a healthy state, and there will be many unexpected sequelae."
"Yes." Jiang Haowen approving, "For example, slow growth, such as inability to soar, such as mental disability......"
"Having said that, in fact, people with this resource, after weighing the pros and cons, will not be willing to invest in it from the beginning."
"They have every way to find a better contract spirit, and there is no need to wander around a dead end and do thankless work."
"I've seen it for a long time." Jiang Meng nodded slowly, her eyes flashing with thought.
Ye Hanjun glanced at it, lacking interest.
This type of Hades can also be said to be of high quality?
Isn't it just that you can fly up and evolve into a "candle ghost" in the future, at most you have some potential, and does the same rank have the racial skills and bloodline characteristics that you can handle?
Standing there like a wood, listening to Jiang Haowen's tirade, just to instill knowledge to his dear cousin, how boring and boring Ye Hanjun is.
even began to reflect on whether it was a bit hasty to partner with passers-by casually.
"Wow-"
The moonlight is like water, swaying the night sky.
The whispering of insects never stopped, and from time to time there were strange nocturnal creatures, burrowing out of the soil and bouncing branches.
Most of them lack arms and legs, supporting the realm of the clay sculpture fetus Xiaocheng, and their own temperament is also inclined to be timid and cowardly.
Presumably because of the frequent sighting of humans on weekdays, and the staff of the rescue center regularly feeding them, these spirits who are not overtly aggressive are eligible to be free-range without fear of harming others.
Night Hanjun's eyes...... Squinted slightly.
The hands holding the arms are not lowered, but the lazy legs are slightly adjusted to make it easier to fit the ground.
There is murderous intent.
Even if it is very faint and light, only an insignificant wisp, but the killing intent is the killing intent!
Ye Hanjun didn't act rashly, and he didn't even look around, not wanting to alert the lurkers because of this.
He pretended to be blinded by the wind and sand, rubbing his eyes and closing them as he rubbed them.
The perception that has always been suppressed suddenly poured outward like a flood without reservation.
"Boom-"
Within a radius of 300 meters, a grass, a tree, a flower and a tree turned into cascading phantoms, intertwined in the world of the soul.
They are illusory, but they are real, even if the breeze blows and blows off a leaf, and the leaf whirls and falls...... The details that are as delicate as hair will also be firmly captured by Ye Hanjun.
"Xiaomeng, you remember, although the candle imp is a ghost of the underworld, he belongs to the ghost faction."
"But it also has fire attributes, the candle flame above the head can activate the fire spell skill, if you encounter an intact candle imp in the wild, you must be careful......"
The voice did not fall.
Ye Hanjun, who closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes, leaned out his palms forward, and pushed hard.
"Ahh Jiang Meng, who was standing sideways towards him, was already in a state of attentive listening, completely defenseless.
She lost her balance and fell to the other side in an instant, and her eyes were full of confusion and incomprehension when she hurriedly looked at Ye Hanjun.
"!!Shh
A large black claw with a fishy wind swung down at an unparalleled speed, and because it was so close, the sound of breaking the air almost tore the eardrum.
The confusion dissipates, and the fear starts from the heart, spreads throughout the body, and boils to the mind.
Jiang Meng, who fell to the ground solidly, didn't care about the beautiful pink skirt stained by the sludge, the muscles on her cheeks suddenly became stiff, the blood seemed to be stagnant, her tongue was bitten, and she couldn't make a sound.
"Gollum !!"
The green-eyed owl was severely frightened and frantically flipped its wings just to be the first to fly into the air.
Jiang Haowen's gushing voice stopped abruptly, and his face turned white in an instant.
In a certain interval of time, he was like a corpse with a lost soul, and all that was reflected in his eyes was the fear that froze his soul.
The next second, he came back to his senses, his pupils shook, and his mouth let out an incredulous rhetorical question:
"Lonely, lone shadow wolf?!"
"Huh-" The big claw struck into the air, pausing slightly, as if it was a little unexpected.
When he looked again, a cluster of black shadows flashed backwards, and an unusually fierce and vigorous monster appeared a hundred meters away.
It was a wolf.
A black wolf.
With a body size of more than three meters and protruding tendons all over its body, it is difficult to imagine what kind of destructive power it can cause when the power it contains erupts.
At this point, it takes the most standard attack stance - its hind legs are straight, its front legs are bent to the sides, and its head is lowered, ready to eject and dash.
And that evil red pupil, though there is only one.
With a grinning and ferocious expression, it is said that it is a wild beast, and no one will question it.
"How could it be ......"
Jiang Haowen's legs trembled, unable to understand this unbelievable scene, and gasped and muttered:
"As a dangerous ghost, the lone wolf does not have the right to move freely, and is always bound to the corners of this level...... The last time I saw it with my own eyes! ”
"How is that possible...... How could it get out of trouble...... This is not normal! ”
"Drop! Drip! Drip! ”
Jiang Haowen was still in a daze, but Ye Hanjun was expressionless, and directly activated the emergency distress function in his personal badge.
Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded, and countless black crows flew from the surrounding trees, flying in all directions.
"It's advanced, it's not the clay sculpture fetus Dacheng you mentioned, it has risen to the realm of perfection."
Night Hanjun glanced at the giant wolf's right hind leg, unable to stand up straight, and his pitch-black hair was stained with a large amount of blood.
An arm-thick metal chain, still tied to the ankle, has broken at the other end of the chain, and there are obvious cut marks in the cross-section.
When the giant wolf grinned again, blood continued to drip from his mouth.
There are also a large amount of dirty blood and bloody footprints splashed on the way to the attack.
There is no doubt that this lone wolf paid a great price, violently breaking free from its shackles and returning to freedom.
"The injury is very serious, less than one-fifth of the heyday, can you be sure to delay?"
Ye Hanjun stood still, holding the blood-sucking dagger in one hand, faintly making a defensive posture.
There is no escape, and there is no escape.
This is a brute spirit who is good at speed, with strong muscles and bursts.
On the premise that it is already regarded as prey, it is impossible for either Jiang Meng or Ye Hanjun to escape the hunting distance.
The only thing that can be counted on is Jiang Haowen.
"I'm no match for it, but I should be able to delay for a while."
At the critical juncture, Jiang Haowen managed to stabilize his mind and did not let Ye Hanjun look down on him further.
He gritted his teeth, pulled out a stone-like object from his bosom, bit his finger, and dripped a drop of blood.
"Wow~~~"
The brilliance flowed, and a translucent barrier spread to the three meters around the body, barely enveloping Ye Hanjun and Jiang Meng together.
Almost as soon as the barrier was formed, the black shadow flashed again, and it had already burst in front of him.
When the giant claw fell, the sound of breaking the air was thrilling.
Ye Hanjun frowned slightly, Jiang Haowen had embarked on the road of the lord for a whole year, and the life-saving things he carried with him were not as good as Su Mei's guard ant bracelet.
With just one tear claw, the barrier cracked and was less strong than expected.
"Gan, last time I went out on a mission, a better baby was consumed, and I haven't had time to replenish ......"
Jiang Haowen was sweating profusely, and his face was as pale as Ye Hanjun had.
"Reluctantly, you should be able to block three or five times, right?"
"Shhh...... It's up to you, get its attention, don't let it pass unimpeded! ”
"Goo!"
The green-eyed owl responded, hovering in the air a hundred meters in the air, and swooped down.
"Uhhh
The lone wolf is too fast, even if it is seriously injured, it is like a wandering ghost when it actually acts.
It bounces up with the help of trees and easily jumps to a height of tens of meters.
The green-eyed owl, which was violently grasping by its flickering claws, and attacked with its wings, couldn't help but scream in horror.
The only thing that can be done is to desperately gather his wings and narrowly avoid the surprise attack of the wolf's claws.
"It's too fast, it's too strong, it's not an opponent at all......"
Jiang Haowen clutched his chest, frightened and anxious.
The green-eyed owl is his contract spirit, and if he dies on the spot, this rescue center is the place where his heart breaks.
Further, if the green-eyed owl were killed, and no spirit would harass him, the lone wolf would tear through the barrier and go straight to the front...... How many breaths do you need?
"It's scary......"
Jiang Meng, who barely stood up, subconsciously grabbed the corner of Ye Hanjun's clothes, trembling.
She couldn't even see the battle outside the barrier, only the whistling of the wind, and the muffled roar, cutting through the silence of the night again and again.
