Zhen took back the knife and dropped it to the edge of the swamp. There are many puddles scattered in the rear, and no trees grow here. They were a little far away from the giant python and Xie Zhe's companions.
"Let me leave you one last gift." Zhen said, "I sincerely hope you survive this fight... This shouldn't be difficult for you. See you on an auspicious day, thank you, Master."
After saying that, he suddenly fell backward and his body fell straight into the swamp. It seems like this is another stand-in. The mire was very deep, and it sank quickly. Its body completely disappeared, leaving only its two eyes floating on the water. The last one that disappeared was still glowing faintly, but was immediately swallowed up by the pool.
Immediately afterwards, a large swamp began to bubble. Xie Zhe took two steps back while holding his sword steady, staring at the water surface alertly.
Something unexpected happened to him: one after another, the puppets stood up. They have no clothes on them, nor do they have hair, eyes, nails, etc. obtained from humans. They are just the simplest blanks. But just looking at the texture, they are at least glazed, otherwise the surface will be easily eroded and cannot be soaked here for too long.
They slowly stood up straight and walked towards Xie Zhe. It is common knowledge that puppets will instinctively chase humans. They don't have much combat power, but they are huge in number. Xiang Lai Hua Hu had already expected this and set up an ambush. After smashing a few puppets, he couldn't stand it anymore. No matter how superb his martial arts and spells were, he would not be able to fight hundreds or even thousands of clods at the same time, not to mention that many of them did not attack him - but went in the direction of others! Xie Zhe had no choice but to retreat and try to find help from others.
But in reality, others are not much better off.
The phantom of the python god has a clear goal. It has realized that its important thing is in Lord Shuangyue and pursues her relentlessly. No matter what kind of cover she and Jiao Mo use, they will be destroyed immediately. Han Chang and Wenying realized that the monster was not chasing them, but they didn't know how to help them.
"Is there any other way?!" Jiao Mo asked as he ran for his life.
"In comparison, even the size of the Tengu is difficult to defeat." Lord Shigetsuki said nervously, "We have no advantage!"
Jiaomo suddenly stopped and stopped behind Lord Shuangyue. She didn't understand why, so she quickly turned around and pulled her.
"You don't want your life?!"
"You run first, I'll hold it back for a while."
"How to delay?!"
Jiao Mo stretched out his hands and let his sleeves fall naturally. Mahuluojia was very close to them, and the two of them couldn't get much distance apart at all. But it was enough for her. She raised two fingers, swept her other hand across, and said something at the moment when her hands came together. Immediately afterwards, a whirlpool of water suddenly swirled out of thin air in the nearby swamp. They spin so fast that they form high columns of water, leaving only a sunken muddy patch on the ground. The water column is constantly moving, colliding with other water columns, melting, and forming new water columns. The burning fire was also extinguished. The moment Maharaja stooped to attack, a huge waterspout attacked it. The tornado was the same height as the part where it stood, so it might have some effect. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiao Mo took Shuang Yuejun and ran away together, trying to distance him further.
The giant python collided with the waterspout, and its hoarse complaint could be heard across the water curtain. Immediately afterwards, more tornadoes hit it in the distance, confusing its sight. The two of them ran in the direction of Xie Zhe, who was trying his best to catch up. But when they could see each other's faces clearly, the two girls discovered that Xie Zhe's face was pale.
"That's not very clever!"
"What, what's wrong?"
As soon as the words fell, Jiao Mo and Shuang Yuejun immediately understood the problem.
Behind Xie Zhe, a large number of puppets staggered after him. There were many hands struggling from the mud all around. Even if the water level drops, they can pile themselves up by virtue of their numbers. Those puppets are covered in mud, which affects their actions to a certain extent, but they are tireless and will not give up.
"This bastard——" Mr. Shuangyue cursed.
The shuffling sound was increasing and getting closer. At this time, a figure suddenly flashed behind Xie Zhe and cut off a large number of puppets on the left and right with just two swords. They fell down with a crackle and stopped moving forward, forming a dam of porcelain tiles. The puppets behind are still moving forward in a steady stream, trying to cross this broken land of the same kind. However, this has bought time.
"Kanna-kun!"
Kanna-kun took back his sword and said to them.
"Guess who's coming to help?"
Several people immediately turned their heads. Something was still approaching from the direction he came from. But even at night it was obvious that those were not flesh-colored or khaki, but white. The sound of clicking was heard continuously, gradually approaching. The person leading this strange team was a living person directly in front.
"Shi, Shi Wuqi?"
Xie Zhe never dreamed that he would see him in the southern country.
Yes, the person who appears here is the real Lord of the Hundred Skeletons. Tucking a strand of long hair behind his ear, Shi Wuqi nodded to several people. He then raised his hand, and the army of bones stopped moving forward.
"Wuyonglan obviously forgot something in the underground palace - so I borrowed it."
"How could you..." Mr. Shuangyue was stunned, "Last time I handed the cat's eye stone back to you, you didn't say you were coming."
"It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you." He said with a smile, "I saw you in the prophecy of the censer - I saw you in the south. You did some... abnormal behavior. I think I have I need to help you with anything."
Kanna-kun pointed at the puppets approaching: "I'll leave those to you. They only have human bodies, but no souls. They have an unusual thirst for the vitality of living people."
Shi Wuqi nodded and said: "I know all this, Master Lintian told me. Even so, they will only blindly capture the living and destroy them blindly. They will tear open the flesh of the living, but they cannot absorb it. The soul can only wait for the life force to slowly drain away before looking for the next target. It looks like a meaningless revenge that cannot be obtained. In fact, it is just that their heads are empty and they are not aware of all this."
"Without further ado, I'll leave this place to you." Kanna-kun said to the others, "Since there are puppets all around, there's no point in escaping. Shigetsuki-kun follows the original plan and takes advantage of the opportunity to leave by Tengu. The rest... ...If you want to fight, just follow me. By the way, where are those fox brothers and sisters?"
Jiao Mo shook his head and said, "We didn't see it."
Shi Wuqi walked past them, followed closely by the broken skeletons, walking across the land with great momentum. Among the walking corpses, they noticed that many of the skeletons were missing arms and legs. Those bones that were too broken were not among them. Only the corpses that were still capable of moving followed. Surprisingly, there are many corpses that have just begun to decay. Judging from the clothes on them, I'm afraid they are workers who died here in an accident.
"Wuyong's crime really deserves death." Lord Shuangyue clenched his fists.
Kanna-kun said calmly: "Ignore them for now. What I want to tell you is that since there is no experience in fighting against this kind of monster... it may be difficult to have it before. I will say hello in advance about some things that need attention. Mo. Haruka is an evil god who is good at mental control. He can peek into people's thoughts and mislead people's consciousness. If it comes to a critical moment, no matter what kind of illusion you see, you cannot be shaken. You must always remember how you got here, don't Be deceived by the comfort in front of you. If you let it catch your weakness and break your spirit, you will be no different from a dead person. Even such consequences will strengthen its power and bring more trouble to your companions who are still fighting. . If you insist on coming with me, I won’t stop you, but no one can hold me back.”
These words sounded really scary, but several people were already prepared for it. They all nodded, and no one flinched.
Although Jiao Mo's spell was very long-lasting, accidents still happened. Mahuluojia had already accumulated demonic power while they were talking, and at this moment he spewed out continuous fire. The fire and waterspout collided with each other, evaporating into a large amount of hot water vapor and spreading rapidly. As soon as Shigetsuki-kun whistled, a white light quickly flashed in front of his eyes. The Tengu picked her up and tried to dodge and escape from the air. Jiao Mo quickly terminated the spell and let all the waterspouts fall. A large amount of water broke out from high places and rolled in like a tsunami. A lot of water vapor has evaporated. At night, the swamp in this area was covered with fog, and the temperature was unbearably high.
"Where are you?!" Jiao Mo was a little flustered.
"Don't be afraid, don't move around easily!" Xie Zhe told her, "Shen Wujun and I will go and deal with it!"
"B-but-"
Jiao Mo stretched out his hand and searched the front in confusion, without any sense of direction. But Xie Zhe immediately caught up with Shen Wujun. They are actually very close, but the dense mist is like a wall, and ordinary people's sight will be easily separated. Xie Zhe said to Shen Wujun while running:
"I have a method...I wonder if it will work."
"Don't hide it. If you have an idea, just do it. If it doesn't work, don't talk about it."
"good."
Xie Zhe, who was running, took out a whistle from the lapel of his clothes - it was the dragon whistle given by the Gui Hai clan. He had long remembered that there was such a magic weapon that could be used. But he didn't want to do it unless he had to. Who knows whether Gui Hai is busy with something or whether he can arrive in time. Besides, Jiao Mo was still here, and he didn't know whether he should let the two of them meet. But now that we have reached such a situation, if we don't come up with some trump card, we will never have the chance to use it in this life.
As for Fengyun Slash...
Xie Zhe had to admit that the lies touched him somewhere. He was shaken, so during the subsequent fight with Zhen, he realized that he was temporarily unable to use Feng Yunzhan's magical power. So at this point, the dragon whistle must be blown.
As soon as the dragon whistle came to his mouth, he suddenly heard a gust of wind coming from his ears. Something huge broke through the thick fog beside him, roared towards him, and hit him hard on the head. Xie Zhe felt a burst of pain and fell to the ground in embarrassment, and the dragon whistle was thrown away.
That was actually the tail of Maharaja! It knew that Lord Shigetsuki was going to escape from another direction on the Tengu, so it turned around to catch her. When changing direction, by chance, his tail hit Xie Zhe. This luck is really speechless, and it is difficult to doubt whether this cunning snake did it on purpose.
The Tengu grabbed Shigetsuki-kun and flapped his wings with all his strength. The strong wind blew across Lord Shuangyue's face, like a knife.
Behind them, a huge mouth of the abyss was close at hand.
