Chapter 20: The Ghost Village (Part II)
"Mask!" I cried out inwardly, "If you don't wake up and help me, I'm going to be eaten by these people!"
"Wen Lin, who are these people! Why are you getting more and more beaten!" As soon as I spoke, a chicken flew to my head and wanted to peck at me, I swung the saber in my hand on the top of my head, and the chicken instantly split in half on the top of my head, and the part with the head of the chicken was still close to me and ready to attack me, "And these domestic animals, they can't die!"
Wen Lin didn't have time to answer me, even if those people and domestic animals were dismembered, with mutilated arms, legs and feet, and some even headless, they attacked us in the same way, some with farm tools chopping at us, dragging and pulling without weapons, and only the head would bite......
"Wen Lin, we'll be exhausted if we continue to wear it out like this!" I said to Wen Lin beside me, and the white tiger retreated to our feetβwe were surrounded.
"These things are not human beings or ghosts, they are human beings, but they are entangled in the blood, these should be done by the ghost world. Wen Lin whipped the dragon's whip and swept down a line of people who approached.
"I wasn't so tired when I fought the ghost soldiers!" I stabbed the head of one of the people who flew in and was about to bite me.
"That's because those ghost soldiers don't have a human body attached to them, and every hit you hit is actually hitting them. As he spoke, Wen Lin put down a buffalo that rushed over.
"Then you mean, these people are already dead, and the ghost soldiers are using their bodies as shields?"
"Don't I understand enough! You talk so much nonsense!" Wen Lin was entangled by the cow and a few people, and he didn't have a good temper.
"So what to do?" I was haunted by the chicken's head, and I didn't bother to ask any more.
"I don't know!" Wen Lin said and rushed to the crowd again, "If we don't break through this encirclement, we will all die." β
"Roarβ" White Tiger and I rushed in our respective directions.
The old wounds on the white tiger's body were beaten into new ones by the blunt objects of those people.
Wen Lin was also hit with a blunt object a few times, and there were blood marks on his arms and legs, and there were scratch marks on his face.
I was also bitten by those people and broken in several places.
"Mask, Mask, Wake up, I really can't hold on. And the mask was still silent, "Every time you go in and out of my body, you can't wake up when I throw you out!" "The mask never told me how to take it out of my body, of course I didn't know, but I just grabbed the saber in one hand and slashed at those who came to attack me, and with the other hand opened its palm and grabbed it on my face, as if I could pull it out by the corner of the mask.
However, after a few minutes of scratching, I really grabbed something on my face.
"Did you really get me out?" I tugged hard and saw the mask lying quietly in my hand, still asleep with my eyes closed, "Let you sleep! Let you sleep!" I was just about to free my hand to wake the mask up, when a man whose head had just been cut off suddenly flashed in front of me, "Ahh
The headless man saw me retreat, and he stepped forward to chase me, and stepped on the mask.
"I'm ......" I was about to rush up and grab the mask, but the man suddenly burst into flames.
"Ah...... Hahaha. The fire burned very vigorously on the man, and in the light of the fire a black gas flew out, leaving only a long laugh.
The people and beasts who were entangled with Wen Lin and the White Tiger saw that there was a fire here, and they all gave up their attacks on Wen Lin and the White Tiger, and walked towards the person who was on fire.
They walked towards the fire one after another, igniting themselves too, and the black gas kept drifting away from their bodies and disappearing into the air.
Some people's unburned bones fell into the stone sculptures next to them, and the stone statues were instantly ignited in pieces as if they were poured with oil, and both sides of the stone slab bridge suddenly turned into a vast sea of fire.
Wen Lin and I didn't speak, and Baihu didn't say a word, only a long laugh in his ears.
So many people and stone carvings were quickly turned to ashes in the flames.
The fire gradually went out.
The mask lay quietly on the ground, his eyes still closed. I stepped forward to pick up the mask, and he slowly floated in front of me and merged into my body again.
The throne to which the bridge leads suddenly began to spin and descend, and the huge skulls hanging on it and the demonic black dragons on the handrails on both sides of the bridge also turned into ashes and dispersed into the air, and a loud sound broke the silence behind the fire.
"Ahem...... Ahem...... "The throne that had descended to the ground rose again and became a stone platform, on which sat a man in gray robes, with his back to us.
"There's nothing left...... "The stone platform slowly turned, and a young man with a beautiful eyebrow sat on it, "Come up." β
Seeing that he was not hostile, we put away our weapons and slowly approached him.
"Are you...... Demon King?" Wen Lin couldn't help but ask.
"It's me. You must think I'm an old man, right? I'm an old man by age, but this demon world was originally prosperous and indisputable, and I absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, and I was able to keep my face unchanged. β
"You demon world advocates peace, why do you want that kid to embarrass us so much?" I watched as the demon king sat there peacefully, angry.
"That was originally my Yuan Infant, the result of my cultivation for thousands of years, and it has half of my ability. But some time ago, the ghost world suddenly attacked here, my people were defenseless, and they were killed, I sent Yuan Ying to resist the attack of the ghost world with me, but the ghost Zun Li became so powerful, my Yuan Ying and my people all lost their lives, I was also seriously injured, they also injected ghost energy into my people and Yuan Ying, and laid many traps in my demon world, making them slaves of the ghost world. β
"Then why haven't you been injected with ghostly energy?" I still didn't give up, and it was hard for me to forgive him for the injuries I suffered along the way.
"My demon power is strong, and the ghost energy can't assimilate me, and I can't defeat the ghost soldiers alone, so I hid, and my Yuan Ying was not completely assimilated, so he didn't seriously hurt you all the way. β
"Not seriously injured yet?" I wanted to go up and grab the demon king by the collar and question him, "Look at the injuries on me and my friend!"
"My demonic power has been severely damaged, and I can't completely control Yuanying's behavior, and I can't bear to kill my people with my own hands, so I can't do it. So let my Yuan Ying bring you here to help me, I'm really sorry for the trouble caused to you along the way. β
"I'm sorry and that's it?"
"Okay, Liu Xi. Wen Lin interrupted me, "We came here just to ask you something, and now that we've helped you, you can do us a few favors." β
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. The demon king shook his sleeves and got up and walked up to us.
