The black smoke left the back street of Yuhua Street at night, swaying and hiding all the way, and finally reached the backyard of a remote dilapidated house on the outskirts of the city, and got into the dry well in the backyard that had been dry for an unknown period of time.
As soon as the black smoke fell to the bottom of the well, it quickly dissipated. There were always wisps of blood-red fluorescence flashing in the hazy darkness. What vaguely illuminated was a white skirt holding a strangely glowing paper umbrella in his hand. , and a ferocious-looking humanoid monster huddled at the bottom of the well, shivering and seemingly struggling.
"You, you actually..."
The monster had a human body and a dog's head, but its limbs were like chicken feet. It was curled up on the ground, and its body was densely pierced by blood-red lines like needle pricks. It was in vain to try to break free. On the contrary, wisps of blood-red fluorescence followed these lines, pulling out something from its body bit by bit, like pumping water, passing through the lines and finally submerging into the other end of these scarlet lines: the one held in the hand of the woman in the white dress. In that weird "paper umbrella".
"Really? I have been planning for a long time. What is unexpected for you is an inevitable result for me. I even found someone to put me into those girls and pretend to be a bait. I was even worried that you wouldn't Taking the bait, I deliberately condensed the soul breath on my body into a smell similar to the Jiuyin Vein. Sure enough, didn't you, the greedy little guy, take the bait?
Tsk tsk, the little guy from the Soul Devouring Way is so fragrant! This soul, this flesh and blood are incomparable to ordinary monsters. "
The person in the white skirt holding the umbrella is naturally the female ghost Lingyu who Bailang used as a bait through Ma Liutai.
Previously in the grove, Lingyu devoured the souls of the third-grade warrior Li Jiang and the fourth-grade deputy commander. With these two bites of nourishment entering the body, its injuries have been alleviated to a certain extent. Some methods that could not be used before can be used reluctantly with the blessing of Yin Umbrella.
This is also the reason why Lingyu can pretend to be a living person at night without being discovered by several Qi Refiners. That's why it has to show up at night. If it were daytime, it wouldn't be able to disguise itself like that.
"Please forgive me, I am willing to serve you as my master and be driven by you! I will take my blood oath as proof and I will never regret it!"
Hearing this, the corners of Lingyu's mouth raised, and she was even more sneered in her heart. It had to lament that after all, in a remote place like Yongchuan City, the words spoken by an evil spirit when encountered were so different from those elsewhere. If he was in Shangbang, the fairy country where he used to hang out, he would usually go to great lengths to talk about his roots, hoping to establish some old connections or find out some background that the other party was afraid of. All I want is a chance to live.
But right now, there was no such thing as Pan Dao, and he just used the last resort of begging for mercy by taking a blood oath of allegiance. What does this mean? This shows that here in Yongchuan City, no one has any background relationship that can make people fearful and scrupulous. Some people only have their own lives. If the other party likes them, they can live happily. Otherwise, they will have to die.
"There are too many people who want to serve me as their master. You, a demon who is not even in the Mysterious Vein Realm, are not worthy of following me. You should just treat me as a snack."
"No! I don't want to die! I don't..."
"Shh!" Lingyu turned the umbrella in her hand and stirred the scarlet lines on the umbrella. The evil creature in front of her immediately twisted its entire body into a weird figure as the lines stirred. The second half of the sentence was also It was immediately suppressed in my throat and I couldn't speak anymore. The body also quickly withered and shrank.
"Eat you, and then I will use your body to slowly find those little Qi Practitioners who are similar to you in the city. After eating them too, the injuries on my body will be improved by 20% to 30%. "Lingyu is in a good mood, and her inner plan is to restore the suddenly lively Yongchuan City to its previous state. If it goes well, it can receive at least five souls and flesh and blood supplements from the Qi Refiners. It's not a big deal to be together. It is definitely an unexpected bargain for it.
If coupled with the Yin Umbrella she had obtained before, Lingyu felt that her luck was overwhelming, and she felt like she would be lucky if she survived a disaster.
In just a moment, the evil spirit no longer took in any air but could only breathe out. His life was gone, and all that was left was the dissolved soul energy and flesh and blood that was slowly being eroded away by Lingyu.
When eating, Lingyu, like all living creatures, will feel instinctive pleasure. It will even become more comfortable as the injuries are slowly being repaired.
However, it is precisely because of the various comforts and pleasures while eating that in disguise it also reduces the vigilance that should have been there. Lingyu even felt that she had escaped the siege and found a remote place to hide. Even if the Yongchuan City Lord's Mansion came after her, it would be impossible to catch it. So it feels like it's absolutely safe.
Unfortunately, things turned out to be more complicated than Lingyu thought.
"Um?"
By the time Lingyu noticed the problem, it was already too late. A larger and more fishy black smoke, accompanied by a dull roar and the shadow of a knife-like claw, rushed into the dry well, wrapping it directly inside with lightning speed.
It's a surprise attack, and it's something Lingyu didn't expect at all: there are more than one evil spirit in Yongchuan City! And the strength of the latter one is still higher than that of the previous one!
Yaoxie's methods are actually much more devious than what Lingyu can use at this time. It's just that Lingyu relied on the magic weapon in her hand to defeat the enemy with one move before. If it were to open up to a fight, it would not be as simple as victory or defeat based on its current injuries.
Now that the attacking party had turned around, and Lingyu's magic weapon was used to devour the previous demon, Lingyu was immediately trapped in the black smoke and unable to extricate herself.
"Damn it!"
While resisting the erosion in the black smoke and the raging cutting of the ghost body, Lingyu, whose injuries had improved slightly just now, faced the possibility of her injuries getting worse again. The curse was a curse on the second evil spirit that attacked him, and it was also a curse on himself for being so careless. Did you lose your vigilance in a shabby place like Yongchuan City?
But Lingyu won't just sit back and wait for death. It withdrew the power from its magic umbrella at the critical moment, even though it would waste a lot of "tonic", so it had to do so. Then after withdrawing the umbrella, he advanced instead of retreating, using the scarlet power of the umbrella to penetrate the black smoke, and then wrapped it back outside the black smoke. During the stalemate, the black smoke was actually trapped in the umbrella, and finally formed a Strange red and black smoke balls blending with the umbrella.
The smoke ball stayed quietly at the bottom of the dry well for a long time, as the sun rose and set, and suddenly started to move when night came again. Like an inconspicuous mist in the dark night, it slowly penetrated into the city, followed the darkness of the street, and finally entered a row house in a corner of the east city...
