Chapter 702: The Lost Spirit
Blink, and you almost lost your life...
Qi Ge had a new understanding of the three words "staring at her".
He didn't know what to say now. He just regretted very much why he had tried this suicidal attempt.
Qi Ge breathed a sigh of relief, and tried to stare at Shi Xin with his eyes wide open, then stepped back little by little, moving his neck slightly away from Shi Xin's palm.
Now Shi Xin was fixed in the air in a very unscientific posture, remaining motionless in the air, and was particularly close to the Seven Pigeons.
“Now the question is, if I can’t take my eyes off the Stone Heart, how am I supposed to leave?
I can back up and back all the way around the corner, but there will always be times when my vision is limited.
If there is no Stone Heart in sight now, then we can't leave, right?"
Qi Ge bit his finger and pondered:
“There are two ways. One is a more ruthless way, dig out one of your own eyeballs and place it on the ground to stabilize the heart of stone.
But there is a problem with this method, which is whether the eyeballs count as [field of vision].
In reality, what people can see is composed of two parts.
After the light from an object passes through the cornea, aqueous humor, lens, and vitreous body in the eye, it forms an inverted image on the retina.
The photoreceptor cells on the retina are stimulated by light, generating impulses which are then transmitted to the brain through the optic nerve to form vision.
Simply put, people's vision exists as a result of the joint processing of the eyes and the brain.
In the world of Yasa, the visual field is more complicated. Le Meng had studied the specific details in his previous life, and Qi Ge could not remember them clearly, but in short, it was related to the soul.
In summary, the eyeball is just a receptor for the formation of visual field, not the whole of visual field.
That single eyeball might not have the power to hold the heart of the stone in place, so it might be a waste of time to dig it out.
The other method is definitely effective, but it is more cruel than digging out the eyeballs."
Qi Ge let out a breath and stood up from the ground.
He opened his arms, held the stone heart in the air in his arms, and pulled it down from mid-air!
Contrary to Qi Ge's expectations, although Shi Xing looked like a statue, he felt surprisingly light when he held him, as if he was holding a balloon.
"So light? No wonder it can move so fast."
Qi Ge grabbed Shi Xin and placed her right in front of him.
He kept staring at the stone heart, circling it several times, looking up and down.
I have to say, although she is a female ghost, Shi Xin has a really good figure, with a curvy figure without a trace of fat, and even her hair grows very neatly, just a small tuft that just forms a heart shape.
“So what if Shi Xin is a female ghost?
"Xiao Long Nu's martial arts skills are much better than Yin Zhiping's. Didn't Yin Zhiping do whatever he wanted when Xiao Long Nu was being acupunctured?"
As for whether desecrating Stone Heart would make him angry...
Ha, as if you won't kill me if I don't blaspheme Stoneheart."
Gradually, a strange smile appeared on Qi Ge's face. He pinched Shi Xin's chin, looked down at Shi Xin, and said:
"Tsk. So, you all want me to be the groom, right?
Then it is reasonable for me, as a husband, to touch my wife, right?
I want to touch...
Shi Xin, don't say that I didn't give you a chance. I'll give you three seconds to reject me. If you don't reject me, I'll take it as your consent.
3……2……1……
Tsk, you didn't reject me! You cheap ghost girl, do you really want me to touch you?
Your Honor, you saw that she agreed to let me touch her."
Qi Ge blew some air on his hands and stretched out his evil hand towards Shi Xin from under the quilt.
…
Qi Ge put his hands all over Shi Xin's body, pinching him here and there, and even tried to grab Shi Xin's arms and pry them apart with great force.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't change Stone Heart's appearance at all. He couldn't even leave a handprint on his chest.
“So light, yet with such high physical strength.
Isn’t this the best cover? !”
Seven Pigeon Surprises:
"This isn't a female ghost, this is a shield!!
As long as I keep Stone Heart in front of me, my vision will not leave her. If I encounter any long-range attacks, I can use Stone Heart to block them.
But before that..."
Qi Ge took a deep breath and slowly stretched out his hand...
When checking the stone heart just now, there were two places that Qi Ge didn't dare to check.
One is Stoneheart's Mouth, and the other is...
The inside of Stoneheart's slightly open mouth was pink, as was that spot.
In the entire stone core, only these two places are not grayish white.
It is clearly a stone statue, but the stone heart's mouth is fleshy and has layers of wrinkles, making it look like a room made of cotton, with two small fangs at the door.
Qi Ge always felt that her slightly opened mouth seemed to be inviting him in.
This made Qi Ge afraid to try.
But now that Shi Xin is going to be brought along, Qi Ge must confirm whether these two strange places are dangerous.
He stretched out his finger and slowly inserted it into Stoneheart's mouth, ready to pull it out at any moment.
He first poked the inner wall of Shi Xin's mouth, then immediately pulled it out.
However, Qi Ge's battle of wits and courage was in vain, and Shi Xin did not react at all.
Qi Ge rubbed his fingertips and said softly:
"It feels cold and soft, and a little sticky, but there's no real mucus. At least my hands are dry..."
The first touch was successful, and Qi Ge became bolder.
He began to try...
Once, twice, three times. At first, Qi Ge would take his fingers away after just one touch, for fear that Shi Xin would suddenly wake up.
But Shi Xin remained unchanged, and Qi Ge's movements became more and more aggressive.
He stroked the inner wall of Shi Xin's mouth and even tried to pull out Shi Xin's teeth, but unfortunately he failed.
Finally, the oral exploration is complete.
Qi Ge took a deep breath and extended his middle finger.
He thought about it and extended his index finger again...
He thought about it again and stretched out his ring finger again!
Then he nodded with satisfaction, put three fingers together, lay on Shi Xin from behind, and reached his hand towards Shi Xin's belly.
Qi Ge's fingers passed over Shi Xin's hair , found the spot, and gently felt the shape...
“Ouch!”
In just a moment, Shi Xin disappeared from Qi Ge's arms without any warning. Qi Ge lost his support and fell straight to the ground.
Qi Ge: ???
"What the hell? What happened? Why is Shi Xin gone? Could it be that Shi Xin was embarrassed by me pressing him?"
Qi Ge stood up in confusion, and looked left and right and up and down for a while, but couldn't find the stone heart.
"This... Could it be that Stone Heart is like Hide and Seek, and will temporarily stop acting when certain conditions are met?
The stopping condition of the hide-and-seek game is to encounter other female ghosts while looking for me, while the stopping condition of the stone heart game is...
hiss……"
The seven pigeons were startled:
"This is all kinds of things, but not all kinds of things. And I am so bold, who can figure it out?
If my guess is correct, why didn't anyone before me mention the stopping condition of Stone Heart?
Either none of them noticed... or they thought that if they just let me keep an eye on the heart of stone, I would find out...
Tsk, although it’s unpleasant, I feel that the second guess is the truth.
As expected of me, you really understand me."
Qi Ge put his fingers in front of his nose and smelled it. It was another familiar mixture of fragrance and stench.
The smell on Shi Xin's body was obviously very light, but when Qi Ge smelled his own fingers, he could clearly smell the rich fragrance of gardenia.
Of course, there is also the smell of rotting corpses mixed in with the gardenias.
"Phew, even though I don't fully understand it, it looks like I'm safe for now... I have to rush to the kitchen as soon as possible while Shi Xin and Mi Zang stop moving!"
Qi Ge walked towards the kitchen. He was very careful along the way, looking left and right, and turning back suddenly from time to time, for fear that Shi Xin had actually just teleported to another place and would suddenly appear in his blind spot.
We passed by the strange sacrificial market and walked along the market road to the fountain garden. Nothing happened along the way.
This finally made Qi Ge breathe a sigh of relief.
"It seems that I scared myself. Shi Xin should really stop taking action."
He walked to the kitchen, leaned against the wall, and carefully pushed open the kitchen's nanmu door.
From the kitchen, there was a faint green light, which was obviously the light of a candle.
"It seems that there is no opening of the door to kill..."
Qi Ge peeked in front of the kitchen door for a while, and after making sure there was no danger, he slipped into the kitchen and closed the door.
The elf's kitchen does not have a stove, only a magic-controlled furnace that is similar to a stove.
The biggest function of this furnace is to suppress the power of fire magic and make the flames milder.
They use fire magic to make fire and heat food, so the chefs in various elven empires are very proficient in fire magic.
Qi Ge saw that there was only an empty magic-controlled stove in the center of the kitchen, and around the kitchen there were only green candles on the four walls, a bucket and a food storage cabinet. It looked very simple.
Qi Ge did not check the food storage cabinet or the magic control furnace first, but ran to the water bucket first.
Although the bucket doesn't look like something he can hide in, as long as it is water, it might be a pool of water that can save his life. Rules are a very strange thing.
The moment Qi Ge's hand touched the bucket, the bucket whooshed into a toy-sized model and ran into Qi Ge's palm.
Portable Hiding Place
Gift of Wealth (White)
Effect: After use, it turns back into a bucket and allows you to hide in it, which is regarded as hiding in a puddle.
You can only hide for a minute at most.
Disappears after use. 】
"Uh-huh?!
It really is a pond, and it’s portable!”
The seven pigeons were startled.
He was delighted:
"This thing is great! Isn't it equivalent to a life?
If you are blocked by a female ghost, you can rely on this to escape. "
Qi Ge checked the magic furnace again. The furnace was made of stone and crystal and was very heavy. Qi Ge couldn't lift it at all.
Now he had no magic power, and there was no way for him to use fire magic to verify whether the magic furnace was working properly.
Qi Ge clapped his hands and walked towards the food storage cabinet against the wall.
The cabinet has three layers: upper, middle and lower. The upper and lower layers are relatively large cabinets with two small drawers in the middle.
"According to my routine of playing horror games, there are often female ghosts hiding in this kind of cabinet."
Qi Ge took a deep breath, hid to the side, held the wing of escape in one hand, and suddenly opened the cabinet above with the other hand!
With a crunch!
In an instant, all the contents of the cabinet poured out and piled up on the ground.
There was a pile of fresh limbs in the cabinet...
Eyeballs, kidneys, liver, heart, and even head!
These limbs were covered in bright red blood, looking extremely strange under the green light.
Qi Ge took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He looked at the heads carefully and felt a chill on his back.
These heads belong to him!
"This...this...this, are these the dead me?
Who cut their bodies into pieces and stuffed them into the closet..."
Qi Ge felt a chill on his back, but he endured the discomfort and began to search among the body parts.
After looking through them carefully, Qi Ge was quite sure that these corpses were his past selves, but the number didn't match.
He could easily piece the bodies together roughly to make three complete seven pigeons.
"We have found the materials for the sacrificial market...
Use the bright red heart to exchange for the disguised groom's suit.
Use the eyeballs that don't shed tears to exchange hide-and-seek for one hour.
Exchange the map with slender thighs.
Exchange your proud head for the immortal seal.
Tsk, not only can I exchange it, I can exchange it three times, use one to keep, one to throw away.
No wonder...
Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will never exchange things in that weird market."
Qi Ge cleared his body parts aside and carefully opened the two drawers in the middle.
One drawer was empty, and in the other drawer was a peach that was almost rotten and dehydrated...
"peach!"
Qi Ge's eyes lit up, and he reached out and touched the peach, and the rotten peach suddenly became fresh again.
[Peach of Energy (Gold)
Gift of Wealth
Effect: Restore 5 energy points after use, and disappear after use.
A maximum of 2 Energy Peaches can be used per resurrection. 】
"You can only use two at most for each resurrection! Does that mean there are at least two peaches?
Just two peaches can restore 10 points of energy. 10 points of energy can be used to recover one death, which is equivalent to a wasted death.
The goddess of wealth is so great. If it weren’t for this peach, I would have died 10 times already.
From today on, I am the most devout believer of the goddess of wealth. "
Qi Ge used the peach without hesitation. In an instant, the peach turned into liquid and merged into Qi Ge's body.
At the same time, a line of golden words appeared again on Qi Ge's thigh.
[Energy value: 35/100]
"Phew, this means I have saved half my life."
Qi Ge breathed a sigh of relief and carefully opened the cabinet underneath.
Crunch.
There was nothing in the cabinet, but there were a lot of small bloody words!
[The water is so cold and painful. ]
[No, no, don't eat me. ]
【Why do we have to bear all the suffering, and why do you get all the benefits? 】
[The master's love, the prince's love, you have so much love, but we have nothing. ]
[Hate, hate, hate, hate]
[I can't move, someone come and save me. ]
【Oh, my throat, give me back my throat, you have everything, and all I have left is my song.】
…
…
The large amount of bloody words filled with pain and wailing made Qi Ge shudder.
These words seem to be a collection of negative emotions such as hatred, anger, jealousy, sadness, pain, etc., blatantly cursing the world.
"This... could it be something left behind by those red wedding dresses?"
Qi Ge counted them, but the number was wrong. There were 27 lines of text in total, not enough for ten female ghosts.
He tried to wipe the blood words with the quilt, but they didn't come off.
"Phew. Anyway, write these words down first. They may be useful later."
Qi Ge memorized the content of the text and then closed the cabinet door.
Crunch...
He looked at the pieces of his body on the ground and shook his head.
No matter what, this was his fault. He really couldn't accept that he was left dead here like this.
"They are all meritorious officials who left their last words. At least give them a water burial."
Qi Ge opened the kitchen door, picked up his body parts, and threw them into the fountain.
The body parts sank into the fountain, the blood quickly spread in the fountain, then slowly disappeared, and the body parts lay quietly at the bottom of the fountain.
Qi Ge took some time to throw all the body parts on the ground into the fountain, and then cleaned up the cabinet above.
When he lifted up the last remaining thigh, he was shocked to find that underneath the body was a piece of papyrus soaked with blood!
"Um?!"
Qi Ge was stunned for a moment, then reached out and picked up the papyrus.
The blood on the papyrus faded instantly, turning it into a very clear map.
[Bloody Wedding Room Map (Gold)
Gift of Wealth
Effect: See for yourself. 】
Qi Ge looked at the map.
The fountain garden is in the very center, with the bedroom above and the kitchen on the left.
To the lower right is the sacrificial market, which leads to the mass graves and baths.
These are the places that the Seven Pigeons have been to.
And on the left side of the mass grave, there is an evil temple.
On the upper right side, which is the direction Leng Yu left before, there are three building sites:
The bride's boudoir, the bride's kitchen, and the magic training ground.
And at the top of the map, behind the bedroom, there is only one building, which occupies almost a quarter of the map.
Its name is: Bloody Wedding Room.
In other areas of the map, except for some trees, the rest of the map is covered with skulls.
These skulls surround the entire map.
Below the map , there are three more notes:
[You cannot go to a place with a skull, you will die.]
[The props are divided into random refresh and fixed refresh. There are only four fixed refresh props. Find them as soon as possible. 】
[You cannot enter the Bloody Wedding Room alone . You must be accompanied by a red wedding dress, otherwise you will die.]
Of these three hints, the first one is purple, and the next two are gold.
“Purple… this is… I died again… can I still leave the information on the map?
Tsk, who am I, stupid enough to enter the skull area?
Could it be that he was forced into a corner by Red Wedding Dress and had no choice but to try to escape?"
Qi Ge rubbed his eyebrows.
“The golden hint… must be a hint left by the goddess of wealth.
There are only four fixed refresh items... I have found the others. I worked very hard.
The map and peaches will be refreshed randomly, it all depends on luck.
Tsk, who knows, maybe peaches are really becoming less and less as I thought, otherwise I would have been resurrected so many times, and it wouldn’t be my turn to be unlucky, and I only found one so far.
For one resurrection, a maximum of two peaches can be used... Before, I might have found more than two peaches, but now, it takes me a long time to find just one, or maybe even just this one.
Forget it, it’s okay. I will definitely finish off the treasure house this time. It doesn’t matter whether there are peaches or not.
The Blood Wedding Room has the same name as the Treasure House... accompanied by a red wedding dress...
The requirement for this treasure house is to live for six hours.
But in my experience, every Chaos Treasure House usually has a normal strategy condition and a perfect strategy condition.
The Chaos Treasure House is the battlefield where Mother Goddess Asha and Chaos fight for certain things.
Only by completing the perfect strategy can you snatch what they are fighting for in one fell swoop.
The goddess of wealth specifically reminded me that I must be accompanied by a red wedding dress before I can enter the bloody wedding room.
The name of the treasure house, the hint from the goddess, is it hinting to me that the perfect strategy requires going to the bloody wedding room?
…
What is the fight for in this treasure house?
Those ten red wedding dresses?
No, that's impossible. It's too petty.
The things that are fought over in the Chaos Treasure House are all things that can affect the outcome of the battle between Chaos and Yasa.
The composition of this treasure house has both mass graves and Elven Empire buildings, and I have no idea."
Qi Ge rubbed his forehead, not being able to figure it out.
“There is still too little information, and the speculations made now may not be correct.
In short, try to live as long as possible. The perfect strategy is something that can only be considered if you have enough room to pass the level easily. "
Qi Ge threw all of his remains into the fountain, then returned to the kitchen and checked it one last time.
After making sure that nothing was missed, he left the kitchen and closed the door.
Crunch...
At the moment the kitchen door closed, two voices sounded in Qi Ge's ears at the same time!
[Brother, brother, I am playing hide-and-seek. I have rested enough, I come to find you again! ]
[The distant wind blows the passing clouds, and the forest is singing to you...]
The melodious flute sound, accompanied by the soft singing, made Qi Ge suddenly energetic.
Qi Ge is very familiar with this song.
This is a funeral song that has been passed down since the Elf Empire. It is a song that elven bards often sing to bid farewell to their deceased loved ones.
Strictly speaking, this song does not have the same effect as a bardic song to summon a projection, but almost all bards know this song.
Because of its extremely beautiful melody and easy to play, it is very popular.
The name of this song is "The Vanishing Spirit", and its status among bards can be regarded as an exercise for practicing music theory.
"Wait a minute, now is not the time to admire!
Don’t let the song finish, if it finishes, you will die!
This is the singer Red Wedding Dress whose name I haven’t figured out yet. I must find her as soon as possible and find a way to interrupt her singing.”
[Brother, brother, I'm here to find you in the bride's boudoir! ]
The bride's boudoir is, fortunately, quite far away from me.
Qi Ge had just breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly, his breathing stopped.
The sound of hiding and the singing are obviously different. The sound of hiding sounds directly in the mind, while the singing sounds from a distance. Qi Ge can vaguely judge the approximate direction.
Qi Ge is very confident in his ability to identify locations by sound.
The direction of the singing was exactly to the right of the fountain garden... where the bride's boudoir, bride's kitchen, and magic training ground were located.
Hidden away, he blocked the way to stop the singing of Red Wedding Dress.
Another combo, and another dead end...
