If I were to describe the intensity now, I would probably describe it as an avalanche. But when I encountered all this, not only had I never seen an avalanche, I had never even seen snow.
It's just that when we were children, we used to play in the sand with Di Baotian by the river. Sometimes when the sand fell down the slope, the feeling was somewhat similar. The difference is that at this moment, my nose is filled with an unpleasant smell. When this unique smell that symbolizes ghosts is mixed with the smell of rotting vegetation in the mountains and forests, this memory will become more concrete. Because of the cover of the trees, when the black smoke rushed over, it was divided into two sections by the trees, and then quickly merged together to form a huge human shape.
How huge it was, almost two meters high. Black smoke was rising all over the body as if it was burning, but I couldn't feel the heat at all. On the contrary, it made me shiver. It is not difficult to see from the battle formation that this guy is the real body of the big ghost guarding the gate here, "Mandrill". Because according to the description in the legend, the "mandrill" seen in everyone's eyes actually has a different shape, so I am not sure whether the scene seen in Songzi's eyes is the same as what I saw. But at that time, the momentum of its attack was so fierce that I had no time to think about these issues. I stretched out my hand to push Songzi away. With the force of pushing him, I also rolled sideways and dodged away, but this guy's speed It turned out to be extremely fast. I wasted at least a few tenths of a second by pushing the pine nut away. So in the middle of the roll this time, my left knee seemed to have hit something hard. Not only did I feel numb, After the numbness subsided, it turned into severe pain, similar to the pain of a sprained foot. Not only that, but from the moment something touched my knee, there was a freezing cold feeling.
I couldn't see clearly, but I knew that it was definitely not a stone that I hit on the ground when I rolled, because there were no stones except mud and fallen leaves. Although the pain was unbearable, I still struggled to move further, but at this moment I felt a very strong suction force, pulling me in the direction behind me. In desperation, I quickly turned over, leaning my back on the ground, facing this huge black smoke creature. It was slowly approaching me on its hands and knees. As it approached, my body couldn't help but get closer to it, as if They are like two magnets separated by thick cotton cloth. There is a chance to pull them apart with force, but there is always a slight lack of strength.
There's no way around it, I thought to myself. So with the mentality of fighting to the death, I sat up straighter. When I planned to get closer, I first hit it with Ziwei Tao to attract its block, and then slashed with my knife. Even if I was caught in the end, I was killed. Well, at least we can't leave this guy unscathed.
From the beginning to the end, I couldn't clearly see the appearance of the "mandrill". It felt like a humanoid overall, but its arms were surprisingly long. And when it moves on the ground, it doesn't feel that heavy, which is inconsistent with its size. Instead, its movement is always accompanied by a strong airflow, which makes me feel that the formation is quite big. When it was only about one meter away from me, I gritted my teeth and squatted down from the ground, then jumped in the direction of his head, which was nearly two meters away. While jumping, I tried to wave my left hand. Zi Wei tabooed, but this guy didn't block me, but when my hand clearly hit its head, it passed through me at once, as if I had penetrated a layer of black mist, and this I used too much force and my body suddenly lost its balance.
When I was falling, I started to wave my hands in desperation, and the scimitar in my right hand clearly hit the opponent several times, but the feeling was empty. It didn't kill me when I was weightless. Instead, he lowered his head and watched me fall to the ground. My vest landed on the ground. Although there was soft soil behind me, the force of my jump was strong enough, and I lost the opportunity to adjust my direction in mid-air. So when I fell, I was actually mentally prepared, but my body Not prepared yet.
My whole back felt as if something had been hit hard, causing my brain to buzz with random thoughts, and my chest also spasmed due to the impact, making it difficult to breathe. But even so, my hands and feet were not injured. I endured the pain of shortness of breath and quickly crawled away in an awkward manner. This time I didn't dare to fight desperately, because I knew that the result would only be that I hit a cloud of smoke again. While I was crawling, the suction force was still slowly pulling me back. I asked myself that the strength was not weak, and the force pulling me didn't feel very strong, but I didn't know why, but I couldn't resist it.
At this moment, a white light suddenly flashed in front of me, and a long ribbon passed by my right ear and rushed towards the direction of the mandrill. There was a faint fishy smell in my nose. Taste, I know that the white light is Ganmu. If even I was in such a panic, Ganmu naturally could not be my opponent. And from the moment we found Ganmu, I knew that this big snake was very frightened. Even cold-blooded animals were so scared. At first, I had a little bit of luck. , I don’t even dare to think about it at this moment.
I originally wanted to drink Zhiganmu loudly, but before I could say anything, my legs suddenly relaxed, and the suction force pulling me seemed to have disappeared. Without much hesitation, I quickly climbed out a few steps, then stood up holding on to the tree. I saw the black human figure in front of me, as if it was scratching all over my body, trying to catch something, and it It seems to be slightly slower each time. So I only saw a white ribbon-like thing flying back and forth in the black smoke. The feeling was very similar to when I was still in my hometown, and I could see people dancing dragons on the street every Chinese New Year. look like.
There is no doubt that in order to save me, Ganmu rushed forward and fought with Mandrill regardless of his own life. This move moved me very much, so I knew that I had to do something, otherwise Ganmu would definitely not be this guy's opponent. In desperation, I reached into my bag and grabbed a handful of rice. This handful of rice was used by me when I was asking for rice and laying the rice array. It had been worshiped for many days before the gods offered incense, so I grabbed it. A handful of rice was thrown towards the mandrill. The rice grains passed through the black smoke, and a little blue electric spark emitted from it. Then judging from the large black outline, it seemed that the action of throwing the rice just now caused It was unhappy, so it made an extremely sharp sound, like a monkey screaming, and the sound was deafening. When the sound came, I even felt that my serious world tilted slightly because the sound was too loud.
This shows that throwing rice is useful, but it is not very useful. Before coming here, we expected a fierce battle and even planned how to fight back. However, when we actually faced it, we discovered that it was all just talk on paper. Perhaps this mandrill is the guy who knows how to manipulate the enemy's mind and attack it from the inside since we broke through the level. From its several nearly flawless illusions, it is not difficult to see that although this guy is a ghost, his intelligence is quite high. .
Moreover, he seemed to have deliberately separated the three of us from the beginning, and the target he focused on was Qin Bukong. Probably since we entered the mountain, it noticed that Qin Bukong was carrying a weapon that could cause great harm to it, which was the Vajra Prong that I still don't know where it is.
At that time, I still felt a little desperate. Because it’s not that we don’t have a chance to defeat the opponent, but that the opponent takes the advantage, which makes us passive. Although I think throwing rice is useful, rice is limited. This kind of painless attack seems to have no other use besides consuming my physical strength. Thinking of this, I plan to give it a last try. I want to use a talisman to fight this ghost. Because with a talisman, no matter whether the opponent is physical or incorporeal, as long as I find the right target, I can hit it, and I won't necessarily die with one hit. , but at least it can save us some offensive rights.
While Gan Mu was struggling desperately with Mandrill, I quickly took out the talisman and Luban ruler from my bag, used a pen to fill in the word "魭" for the cloud-headed ghost body on Kun's face, and then spread the talisman in the palm of my left hand and raised it vertically. He aimed at the dark cloud of smoke, and then hit the palm of his hand hard with a Luban ruler.
I am a pain-tolerant person, and I have never been beaten like this before, so as always, after a numbing pain came from the palm of my hand, a large blue electric fire appeared in the mandrill's body. It felt like this Just like lightning in the dark clouds, it is not very bright, but can be clearly seen.
It seemed to have some effect. I started to hit one after another, retreating while hitting, and I was already standing on the edge of the circular range. If I retreated further, although it would block me, there was a high possibility that I would be chased. Danger will come from all directions. So I simply leaned against the tree and recited the mantra faster, so that I couldn't hear clearly what was being murmured in my mouth. After beating it seven or eight times, this guy was finally irritated. It no longer tried to catch Ganmu who was fighting with it everywhere, but trembled and trembled with the feeling of electric fire, but at a very fast speed. He rushed towards me very quickly and fiercely.
I was very scared, but I didn't dare to stop playing the talisman in my hand until it rushed almost in front of me, and a voice suddenly came from my ear: "Hit its head with a Luban ruler."
Before I could tell who the voice belonged to, or whether the content was true or false, I naturally raised my hand and slapped Mandrill on the head with the Luban ruler.
