Chapter 62 Why did he appear here?

The guard looked at Su Shixia blankly, obviously not realizing what was going on.

Seeing that he was still half-kneeling on the spot holding the box, Su Shixia hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him hard, pulled him up, and ran away with him.

Su Shixia's reaction was fast enough, but in the end it was still a step too late.

The talisman paper stuck around the box suddenly burst into huge flames as if it was ignited by something.

As the circle of talismans was burned, the lid of the box suddenly popped open, and a dark, thick, and stinking mucus spurted out from the box.

Those guards who didn't run fast enough were splashed all over by the mucus.

Su Shixia ran a little slower because she wanted to drag the guard away.

Seeing that the mucus was already in front of her eyes, she frowned and closed her eyes hard. She was already prepared to be contaminated by the disgusting mucus, but to her surprise, after waiting for a long time, she didn't feel anything.

Something splashed on her.

She opened her eyes in confusion and turned her head to look, and was shocked to find that Qin Yi had blocked her behind and had her whole body in his arms.

When Su Shixia turned to look at him, she saw that he had already pulled up his cloak and used his back to block all the mucus that was about to splash on her body.

Su Shixia was stunned. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Qin Yi with disbelief. She couldn't say a word for a long time.

Qin Yi looked at her as if she was dazed, frowned, and immediately asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong with you? But is there any injury?"

"No...I'm fine."

Su Shixia came back to her senses and found that Qin Yi's cloak was covered with mucus, and even the back of her neck and hair were stained. Her face instantly darkened, she gritted her teeth and cursed secretly, and immediately asked Qin Yi to

Yi took off his cloak.

"Lower your head!"

Su Shixia gave instructions in a deep voice, and regardless of whether Qin Yi felt weird or not, he raised his hand and took out a bottle of light blue liquid in a frosted glass bottle from his own space.

"It hurts a lot, please bear with it."

While Su Shixia was speaking, she had already taken out the gauze. After pouring the potion on the gauze, she used the gauze to wipe away the mucus on Qin Yi's skin.

When the medicine soaked in the gauze came into contact with the dark mucus on the back of his neck, even a person like Qin Yi who was used to being patient and restrained couldn't help but gasped.

Su Shixia could even clearly feel that under her fingertips, the muscles in Qin Yi's neck instantly became as tight as iron.

"That slime is not a good thing."

Su Shixia's brows were always furrowed and her voice was very low, obviously suppressing her anger.

"Didn't I tell you this morning about the functions of several talismans?"

Su Shixia said: "There is a kind of talisman among them that attracts disasters. Do you still remember the function of that talisman?"

Qin Yi gritted his teeth tightly, not wanting to reveal his pain, and just snorted a faint nasal sound to indicate that he still remembered.

Su Shixia explained to him in a deep voice while carefully wiping the mucus on the back of his neck.

"This kind of mucus is a raw material for making that kind of charm."

"Use this mucus diluted and mixed with cinnabar, and then use cinnabar to draw the talisman, and you can make the kind of disaster-inducing talisman."

Su Shixia said: "If this thing is diluted and used as a primer, the consequences will be terrible. What you are contaminated with is the original liquid."

"The concentration is high and the weight is large. If you are contaminated with this thing and don't deal with it in time, I don't need to say more about what the final consequences will be, right?"

"Unlucky, seriously ill..."

Qin Yi gritted his teeth tightly and tried to keep his tone calm, "Or...die."

"Death is inevitable!"

Su Shixia wiped off all the mucus on his skin, and felt that some of it was still on his hair, but she couldn't see anything clearly in the dark, so she could only let Qin Yi lower his head and pour it out.

A capful of light blue liquid was thrown at the back of Qin Yi's head.

Qin Yi's body visibly trembled. At that moment, he staggered a little and seemed to lose his balance.

Su Shixia just pretended that she didn't see anything and said: "Okay, it's okay for now. I'll get you some medicine when I get back. You can take a medicinal bath for a few days and you'll be fine."

"But you already have..."

Su Shixia patted his back lightly, indicating that his back was still injured, and then said: "You really have to suffer something."

"It doesn't matter."

Qin Yi stood up straight and tried to adjust his breathing. When he turned to face Su Shixia, although his face was extremely pale, there was nothing strange about his expression.

"As long as you can't die."

"What happened to that slime just now?"

Qin Yi asked in a deep voice: "Is that black box a trap deliberately left by the demon?"

"almost."

Speaking of this, Su Shixia's face became particularly ugly.

In the final analysis, she was careless. She always felt that even if people in this world knew some Xuanmen magic, they could only scratch the surface at most.

In addition, the exhumation of corpses in the bamboo forest last night went smoothly, so she subconsciously felt that there would be no problem this time. Who would have thought that the boat would capsize in this small ditch.

"I underestimated the one named Jia."

Su Shixia said coldly: "It seems that he had guessed that his scheme would be discovered, so he set up a trap when he first laid out the plan, just waiting for someone to dig this thing out."

"The real thing is still further down!"

Su Shixia handed the gauze and the medicine bottle containing the light blue liquid to the guard on the side, and asked him to help the other guards deal with the mucus on their bodies just like she did just now.

After making arrangements, she walked back to the pit that had been dug about two meters deep, took a deep breath, strode forward, and prepared to jump in herself.

But this time, as soon as she took one foot out, Qin Yi grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

"what are you doing!"

He scolded angrily in a deep voice, "The pit is so deep. Who knows what else the demon is hiding in the pit? How dare you jump in after you have already suffered a loss once!"

"It was because I suffered a loss once that I was sure that what I was really looking for was down there!"

Su Shixia's tone was particularly determined.

"The cost of refining the box of mucus just now is very high. The demon does not hesitate to spend such a huge amount of money to scare people away. It must be to hide something more important!"

"I promise there won't be any mistakes this time!"

Seeing that Su Shixia was extra persistent this time, Qin Yi couldn't resist her, so he picked up a shovel next to him and jumped in himself.

Su Shixia saw that he was so actively cooperating, so she didn't show much pretense. She immediately held a lantern to help him illuminate the area and pointed him where to dig.

After about half a cup of tea, Qin Yi actually dug out another box.

It's almost the same as the previous box, with a dark exterior and a circle of talismans.

"That's it for sure."

Su Shixia carefully placed the box on the ground and was about to unveil the charm when she suddenly heard crisp applause not far away.

"Princess Pingxi is really a great talent. I never thought that this most critical clue would be found by you in the end."

The clear and sweet male voice reached her ears, but the hair on the back of Su Shixia's neck stood up instantly.

That was clearly Ye Li's voice!

How could he appear here at this time?!
