This night was too long.
Xie Zhe held his sword. He felt that he really didn't have much strength left, and the others were in the same situation. However, no one can be lost no matter what, this is the consensus of everyone. They gathered together again, each holding a weapon and staring firmly at the approaching giant.
"The smell is too mixed," said Han Zhang, who was holding the sword. "The cross-sections of those puppet fragments overflowed with the smell of the dead... they must have been processed by them."
Xie Zhe looked at his sword-holding hand. His hands were also shaking slightly, not from fear, but from fatigue. This kind of fatigue is not only physical, but also the psychological trauma can give them a sufficient blow. The anger and grief that burst out from this, as well as the indelible fatigue that followed, all left indelible traces.
"This should be the spell of the Evil Angel of Greed," Kanna-kun said, "It is the same spell as the shikigami she uses to gather straw men."
"Her accomplices have escaped. Damn..."
Wenying gritted her teeth, and they seemed to hear a crunching sound.
Kong Lingbei said nothing. He just lowered his head silently and stared at the blood-soaked petals on the ground. They formed a giant magic circle with unknown meaning, but he couldn't see any clues. Xie Zhe also focused on the red "lines" formed by the flower path. Shen Wujun said to them:
"This large-scale magic circle is not tight, but it can be deduced from part of the path. It is related to the kind that absorbs spiritual power - that is, the magic used by evil to frame impermanence. But it is consistent with the original formation in the underground palace. The comparison is naturally much different, and the effect may be..."
Ling Huan sighed: "She must not...simply reproduce that harmful formation. Although it is theoretically beneficial to break the formation, her sacrifice would be meaningless!"
"Just from the painting formation, Lord Shenwu should be able to tell..." Xie Zhe thought.
Kong Lingbei waved the water spur, raised a hand, and pointed the tip of the weapon at the giant made of broken porcelain pieces.
"I don't have time to think about this yet - how to deal with that guy?"
His tone was the same as usual, perhaps a little more tenacious and a little more forbearing. Others didn't dare to speak, nor did they dare to take another look at the two corpses over there. As the giant approached, the sound of the forest being trampled gradually became clearer, and the bright sky made its color look so dark. Of course...the top priority is to get rid of that thing.
"You go," Kanna-kun said, "The further away, the better. I have a way to deal with it."
"You are going to use that move, right?" Xie Zhe asked keenly, his eyes falling on his double swords. But his tone did not make anyone feel reassured. On the contrary, there was still some worry in his voice.
Kong Lingbei expressed his concerns directly:
"The skill of tearing the six paths apart will cause unknown damage to the surrounding environment...but it will definitely distort the surrounding spiritual veins. At that time, how will it affect the magic circle left by Lord Uoyue? This is something we No one knows.”
When he said this, he stared at Kanna-kun closely. The black curtain blocked everyone's sight, but Kong Lingbei seemed to be able to see his eyes.
"Are you going to destroy the last thing she has left?"
Like ruining her life?
But of course the overtones cannot be spoken. At that time, almost everyone saw that Utsuki-kun's behavior was undoubtedly self-destruction. No matter how fast Kanna-kun moved, he could not choose to stop at that time. She just wanted to use this endless blood and endless life to depict such a broken flower formation, but what was she trying to do?
"Then tell me, what is your opinion?" Shen Wujun asked calmly.
"I will stay and fight with you."
"I'll stay too," Xie Zhe said.
"Me too," Han Zhang looked at Wenying, his firm tone softened again, "You take Ling Yu away..."
At this time, why would a girl like Yingying leave? Of course she didn't think that her brother looked down on the girls, not to mention that she hadn't yet made her revenge clear to anyone. But she just opened her mouth and couldn't say anything to refute. She looked at Ling Huan, and Ling Huan's eyes looked directly into hers. Both of them seemed to have a thousand words that they couldn't express.
Wen Ying should take her away. She is just an innocent human being. She should not be involved in these messy things... But Ling Huan is also a girl. Like her, Wen Ying knows what she is thinking. She didn't want to leave, but she didn't want to stay and cause trouble to others. She is just too sensible, so sensible that she and others have nothing to say.
Xie Zhe also looked at her and moved his lips slightly.
"I don't want to leave..." She still said it, with a cry, "I don't want to be alone."
"Now is not the time to lose your temper..." Han Chang said helplessly.
"No!" Ling Huan's voice rose, "I know I can't help you much! But I won't cause trouble for you. You don't need to worry about me. I, I can find a way to hide myself. Ask Ying, ask Ying her She is better than me, she is very strong, she can help you, you shouldn’t divert your energy to me. I know you are doing it for my own good - but it doesn’t have to be this way! I... don’t accept it! If, if any of you do it again …”
She said and suddenly stopped like that. She grabbed her temples with both hands, lowered her head, and took two steps back bluntly, her eyes full of indescribable sadness. Under the morning light, her eyes were sparkling, and her voice after that was full of tears and intermittent.
"No more people... no more - at least let me look at you, let me see more of you. I don't want anyone to have an accident again... I know I can't control it, and I don't have the ability. Just treat me as willful. Okay, just treat me as ignorant and let me stay, but don't worry about me - don't worry about me... Even if I die, I don't want to die alone somewhere else!"
She was a little stressed, they could all see it. This was a cruel night. For ordinary people, it was enough that she was still alive and standing here. But aren't they worried about the same thing? If such a defenseless girl, whom they live with day and night, were in front of them... no one would dare to think about it. However, precisely because they could think about it at this level, they could better understand Ling Huan's strong desire to stay. In other words, the act of "driving her away" by asking her to leave made her feel even more terrifying. In this situation, the only thing that could kill her was loneliness.
"Die somewhere else" - die somewhere they can't see... It's hard to say whether this is a more cruel thing. for each of them.
"Then you stay."
Just when Xie Zhe was thinking about how to convince her, Shen Wujun spoke. His tone was so calm, giving people inexplicable reassurance. Immediately afterwards, Kong Lingbei said in a similar tone:
"Utsuki-kun will bless you."
Wenying took a deep breath and said, "I will try my best to take care of you... We will never let this monster soil Utsuki-kun's blood."
When he realized that he could stay, Ling Huan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with relief. The timing of the smile wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. Xie Zhe looked at her face, but after all, he couldn't say anything. In the sky, the birds seemed much sparse, and perhaps most of them were already tired. One after another, birds of different sizes made hoarse calls one after another, constantly stimulating everyone's nerves.
"What should we do? It's so big that we can't get started. And if we break it, it may still be able to repair itself, which would be meaningless."
"Yes. But the gathering spell is engraved in its eyes. In those eyes. I can see it."
Kanna-kun said firmly. So people turned their attention to the monster's dense eye sockets, and felt a layer of uneasiness on their bodies. At least, they had a general direction.
"Pull out all its eyeballs—break them into pieces."
Before anyone else could react, Kong Lingbei put his fingers to his mouth and whistled. With one command, the birds received his instructions. The scattered and disorderly birds suddenly regained their strength and attacked the giant's eyes uniformly. The attack is effective. At first, many birds took away its eyes. They are skewered on long beaks or crushed by wide beaks. The protruding eyes gradually became sunken and pitted. Different pupils stare at different birds, looking in all directions, and the movement looks so disgusting. The giant stretched out his hand and flapped it in the air, trying to catch the birds. It occasionally succeeded, but it still couldn't hold up those tiny creatures that moved lightly between its bulky limbs.
Debris began to fall from its body.
"It worked!" Wenying said happily, "If this continues, it will never recover after attacking it!"
"It's not enough." Kanna-kun's words seemed to pour cold water on him. "It just won't recover. What's falling now are the attachments on its body that are not that strong. The formed spell has been implemented. If you want to defeat it, you still need to use the most direct and violent method."
"Then what are we waiting for?"
Kong Lingbei's hands adjusted the water-splitting thorns. He seems so reliable, and this change in image has nothing to do with Uzuki-kun - it's just that he has always been like this. In other words, as a lord, this is what he is.
Xie Zhe looked at the giant with a frown and said, "I'm afraid it's not a good idea to chop him alive."
"Speaking of which, I have a question," Wenying said suddenly, "if its eyes are destroyed, can it still see us?"
"It doesn't need to be looked at." Shen Wujun shook his head and replied, "You may remember the thing about living corpses. They are already dead. They can't smell with their noses, hear with their ears, and see with their eyes, but they can still get close to the living. They are flesh and blood. The body's instinct is to long for the soul. These empty puppets, like living corpses, will approach the living even without orders - cut open their skins and take out their souls."
Wenying was a little disappointed. Xie Zhe looked at her and then at Ling Huan. He found that Ling Huan seemed to be less afraid of giants, because her eyes always fell on it and did not move away. She just raised her head and stared at the approaching giant, and suddenly asked a question without turning her head.
"Kanna-kun...can you tell that the monster is hollow?"
Kanna-kun suddenly looked at her.
"What do you think?"
