Chapter 493 Calling from behind(2/2)
When Spider Black and Scorpion Stinger could be dealt with, we sent cadres to follow them, but..."
"What happened?" I saw Wan Lin suddenly stop talking, and couldn't help but asked curiously, but found that the expression on her face was a little strange, obviously she was recalling something terrible.
"The result was that the whole army was still almost wiped out, but the cadre came back with a breath. There was not a single intact piece of flesh on his body, and everything was bitten like jagged gaps, especially the incomplete head, which looked like it had been bitten.
He used the Nine Nether Soul Fixing Gu to hold on to the watermelon that someone had chewed for the last time, trapping the soul in his body and refusing to let it go. He escaped desperately just to come back and recover."
Speaking of this, Wan Lin closed her eyes, as if she couldn't bear to look back, "I was still young at the time, and I happened to be learning Gu magic next to my father's seat that day, so I can still remember all these scenes. Every time the man said a word,
A piece of flesh and blood fell from his body, and I realized that even his remaining body was forcibly condensed with the power of witchcraft. In fact, it had been bitten to pieces by the red-headed red chain snake. By the time he finished speaking,
, there is only a pool of flesh and blood on the ground, which is like mud, and a standing white skeleton."
"...So it's so scary? So your father gave up on letting the evil witch cult come here?" I imagined the situation at that time. I'm afraid it also left a lot of psychological shadow for Wan Lin, who was still a child.
.
Wan Lin nodded and said: "Yes, although sending a few more cadres may be able to suppress them, my father thought about it again and again and felt that since the monsters are native to this place, they will not invade the underground main altar of the evil witch cult anyway.
We won’t attack the subordinate villages, so just let it go. Don’t deliberately violate the natural development and make this place an inaccessible forbidden area. You need the permission of the sect to enter, and this place is always open to the evil witch sect.
It also happens to be a natural protective circle for the altar.”
Hearing what she said, I remembered a very serious problem and quickly asked: "Since this place is so dangerous, why do we deliberately break in, isn't it..."
"Then what can we do? It is because this place is regarded as a dangerous forbidden area by the evil witch sect, so I took you through here. Those saha insects have already discovered our movements, but they have not been pursuing us for a long time.
Come, the reason is that the pursuers dare not approach here." Wan Lin said, "The two of us can only take a gamble. The red-headed red-chained snake is very cautious by nature and never acts rashly, and its mouth is also very tricky. If it
If we can’t be sure that we are intelligent creatures, we won’t pounce on them easily.”
So what I thought was a ghost before is actually a snake demon? There are really many wonders in the world, and it is nothing more than this southern Xinjiang region. Over thousands of years, it has developed a mysterious witchcraft system that is completely different from the authentic one in the Central Plains.
It is its own sect and has many mysterious methods that are difficult to understand in Taoism and Buddhism.
After running for a while, the color of the sky was getting closer and closer to blue. I knew that the sun would rise soon, but I didn't feel very relaxed. The main reason was of course what Wan Lin said about red heads and red heads.
Chain snakes are not like ghosts. They will hide during the day and dare not come out.
I couldn't help but feel relieved and started to look around, only to realize that the trees around me looked a bit weird. They were not like ordinary trees. Their crowns were gathered together and their leaves were connected. The bases and petioles of the upper leaves actually grew on the lower mesophylls.
in the matrix.
In other words, it is not clear whether it counts as a leaf or not, because as the leaves rise one after another, they actually connect with each other and wrap around each other at the top, making it look like... a huge bud.
"Wanlin, what kind of plant is this? Doesn't it look too strange?" As soon as I opened my mouth, I suddenly felt something was wrong with the hand that was holding Wanlin. Her white and tender wrist suddenly became extremely smooth to the touch.
It actually has a cold, scale-like touch.
"Wanlin!" I was shocked. I realized that the "thing" I was holding was definitely not Wanlin or any other human being. When I combined it with the scale-like touch, the five characters "Red-headed Red Chain Snake" immediately appeared in my mind.
.
"I'm here, behind you."
A familiar voice sounded in my ears. Yes, no matter the tone, tone, timbre, or even the flow of breathing, it was almost exactly the same as Wan Lin. I couldn't help but feel suffocated and almost turned around.
Just as my neck turned back involuntarily, Wanlin's previous reminder suddenly echoed in my ears - the red-headed red-chained snake is very cunning, no matter what you hear, never look back.
I quickly stopped my head suddenly, my heart beating violently. It was too dangerous. This monster is really cunning. It actually knows how to exploit people's psychological traps. It called us tentatively before, but neither of us responded, but it didn't seem to.
I gave up easily, but followed us all the way here. I don't know what method I used to take Wanlin away, and then pretended to be her voice to lure me back.
So where did Wanlin go? Compared with my own situation, I am more worried about her. Now I can only hope that since she understands this kind of monster better than me, she should be able to take care of herself.
I quickly let go of my clenched hand, and sure enough, a red snake tail slipped from my hand, and then disappeared. Of course, I didn't dare to look back to see where it had crawled, for fear that I would be hit hard if I looked back.
A mouthful of.
Obviously, Wan Lin and I were separated inadvertently. We originally held each other's hands tightly, but at an unknown point in time, they were suddenly replaced by a red snake's tail.
Damn it, how could we both not notice such a big move at the same time? Only now did I have a complete and complete understanding of what Wan Lin told me about the annihilation of the Evil Witch Cult, so pervasive and mysterious.
Even if you have magical powers, you will fall into a trap before you can use them.
No, you have to calm down. No matter what the other party is, it is just a monster. If I, a Taoist disciple, were frightened by the monster, wouldn't it be an insult to Master Liu Yishou?
I pulled out the mahogany sword without using any Taoist power. I just slightly activated the evil-fighting charm on it and slashed behind me.
Chapter 499 Blooming Leaf Flower Tree
The mahogany sword was like a dazzling meteor speeding past, with an orange-red sunfire light, and it slashed towards the back of my neck, but it didn't hit anything. After all, it was a blind stab. If the opponent was not stupid, he would definitely hide.
So I took out a charm and chanted the spell quickly in my mouth:
"The laws of heaven are vast, and all laws are in ruins. Now I cast a spell to drive away evil spirits and break them, as urgent as a law or order." A sharp pain came from the sea of qi, and then spread to my limbs like an electric shock. I squatted down in pain.
, I know this is because I used my true energy rashly and caused another riot by the golden silkworm Gu.
But fortunately, with the golden silkworm in the body, although the Dao power was rioting, it was much stronger than before. All of them poured into the evil-suppressing talisman. The talisman emitted brilliant silver light and sharp energy.
Gangqi was thrown behind me.
The evil-suppressing talisman only works on ghosts and monsters, and does no harm to ordinary people at all, so I can safely throw it behind my back without fear of accidentally injuring myself.
"Hey! Hey hey hey!" A very unpleasant and even disgusting cry came from behind. It sounded like a baby's cry and a scream when someone's throat was stretched out.
It echoed and felt very uncomfortable. I think that is the real voice of this red-headed red-chained snake, right?
Then I ran forward desperately. After going back and forth, the red-headed red-chained snake was determined that I was a human and would not let me go. Before it summoned more companions, I had to find at least one
A safe hiding place.
As I was running forward, I couldn't help but look up at the strange-looking plant, which looked like a flower or a tree. I felt a vague sense of weirdness in my heart. I always felt that there was something strange about this plant that I couldn't explain.
By the way, the "bud" made up of leaves actually opened a little. Compared with the tightly closed state before, it is now slightly open by one-tenth, although it is only a small part compared to the whole.
But it is very obvious to outsiders.
What's going on? Is this tree about to bloom? I didn't have time to think about it, so I ran past the tree. I wanted to forget about it, but after walking a hundred steps, I found that there was another tree in front of me.
An identical mosaic tree appeared, except that the "buds" on the crown of the tree bloomed larger.
Against the backdrop of the skylight, the faint pollen actually shone with a dark red light, like blood droplets flying in the air, falling to the ground like red rain.
I don’t know if this kind of pollen is poisonous. After all, in this situation, I didn’t dare to inhale it at will. I quickly covered my nose to avoid the floating pollen, but I heard a familiar voice coming from behind me.
.
"Are you here? This is very dangerous. Let's go."
Wan Lin? Hearing that concerned tone, I almost turned around, but in the end my reason prevailed. Instead of turning my neck, I gritted my teeth and said, "Come here, come to me."
"Come here, come to me." The "person" behind me kept repeating this sentence, seeming to ignore my words.
There's definitely something wrong with this, that's not Wanlin! The red-headed red-chained snake caught up again, and I felt the wind on my feet again, and ran forward desperately. This thing is really very patient, and it kept chasing after it.
He keeps changing his tricks to lure me in.
This time I probably ran a few hundred meters away, but when I opened my eyes, my legs gave way and I sat down on the ground. I couldn't believe my eyes.
It's still the same tree, still the same flower bud, but now it's mostly open, and more and more red pollen is flying out of it, filling the sky above your head.
I'm pretty sure this is the tree I saw before, not other plants of the same species, because I've seen it so many times before that I can almost memorize even the lines on the trunk. Although the crown of the plant in front of me has
The flower and leaf buds are constantly changing, but its trunk remains the same without any change.
I didn't pay attention to this at first, but after watching it a few times, I should have discovered it no matter how slow I am. This can only mean two possibilities. One is that just like the original Kali three life barrier, I encountered a ghost again.
Hitting the wall, secondly, I fell into an illusion inexplicably, thinking that I was running non-stop, but in fact I was just standing still.
But both of these explanations don't seem to make sense. If it is really a hanging soul ladder structure similar to Kali's Three Lives Barrier, Wan Lin has said that even the evil witch sect would not dare to set foot here easily.
The forbidden area is occupied by monsters like red-headed and red-chained snakes. You said that they are cunning in nature and have powerful supernatural powers. I can accept it.
But if you want to say that they can create cycle barriers that require advanced magical skills like humans, I always think it is impossible.
Ghosts can cause ghost wall structures because of their own physical reasons. First of all, they were formerly human beings and can understand space better than any other creature. Secondly, because they are spiritual bodies now, they can
Use spiritual power and resentment to lock up a small part of the space structure to form a cyclic ghost wall.
Obviously, no matter how smart the red-headed chain snake is, it is still a beast. It is impossible for it to have human-like learning, understanding and research capabilities. Unless they are born with the instinct to control the spatial structure, otherwise if it was acquired, they would have been out by now.
The forest has replaced humans as the top creature.
Wanlin seemed to have never mentioned that the red-headed red-chained snake could cause ghosts to hit the wall before. She only mentioned its ferocity and cunning. Otherwise, the evil witch sect cadre would not be able to escape even if he relied on the Gu insect to breathe again.
Gotta come back.
But if I was trapped in an illusion and was running in vain, then why didn’t the red-headed red chain snake behind me take the opportunity to pounce on me? After all, from its perspective, I should have been just running in place.
?
If such a good opportunity doesn't come up to eat me, what is it still waiting for? Could it be that it has obsessive-compulsive disorder and insists on asking me to turn around before it dares to eat me?
And listening to the slippery sound on the ground, while I was running, it seemed to be trying its best to chase me, indicating that we were indeed in a chasing station and not standing still.
Damn it, it would be great if I could know the situation and distance of the strange snake behind me, but I can’t look back, what should I do...
I reached into my arms, originally just to see if there were any useful spells, but I touched something cold and hard. My whole body felt like being drenched in snow, and I suddenly felt that the dilemma of information asymmetry was resolved.
