Youbao Chapter 28: Stone Beast (7)
I opened the window carefully and climbed in as quietly as possible. It took me several minutes just to climb through this window.
After entering the house, I was confused as to whether to go upstairs or to the first floor, because the first floor was empty and dark, while there was a glimmer of light on the second floor, and I could even vaguely hear someone talking.
I remembered what the old Taoist said, and I took out the jade pendant. Maybe because we were far away, the jade pendant hadn't shown any abnormality. Looking at the light upstairs, after thinking about it, I decided to go downstairs.
The first floor was dark, and I held my breath as I carefully walked down a few steps and stepped onto the living room floor.
The jade pendant still didn't respond. I looked around, but it was too dark in the room and I could hardly see anything. I could only hold the jade pendant in one hand and feel the wall with the other hand to move forward.
Soon, I touched a door.
I put my ear to the door and heard no sound from inside, so I gently turned the door open and walked in.
It was too dark here, and the only sound I could hear was my slightly rapid breathing. I couldn't see my hand in front of me, and my footsteps seemed a bit loud in the room. To my surprise, I reached the stairs just a few steps into the room.
If I hadn't been very careful and moved step by step, I might have fallen down.
I walked for a while and suddenly felt the jade pendant was a little warm.
This is unusual , I was overjoyed, and my pace quickened. The temperature of the jade pendant was getting higher and higher, and this time the unusual phenomenon was greater than before, it seemed that the stone beast was right in front of me.
Just when the jade pendant was almost boiling hot, I suddenly heard a "huh" sound.
It sounded very much like human breathing, but in the darkness it seemed so heavy, like breath being exhaled from the throat.
I heard another "Huh!" and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. This time I was not mistaken, there really was something here.
As the sound of breathing began, a faint breath blew on my hair. The breath had a slight fishy smell, not as strong as the bronze-armored corpse, but still extremely unpleasant.
I didn't move at all, holding onto the wall as my legs felt weak.
There was no one here, only the occasional "huh" sound.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of chains colliding. In my mind, several zombies that looked exactly like the ones on TV immediately appeared, tied by chains around their necks, but still jumping towards me.
It was an extremely terrifying moment. I wanted to escape, but I didn't dare to move.
I was expecting the door to open immediately, no matter whether it was the old Taoist priest or someone else who came, because when people are in the dark, the will be infinitely magnified.
At this moment, there was a "sizzling" sound on the wall, as if something was brushing against the wall. The sound of the iron chain continued, and it was approaching me. I could even feel that if I moved, I might touch a cold body.
The jade pendant in my hand was terribly hot, but I felt cold all over.
Because something had touched my back.
In front of my eyes, two pairs of green lights appeared. They were not fireflies, but the eyes of something.
If I stay still at this moment, I will surely die. The talisman the old Taoist gave me only said that it could drive away the miasma, but it didn't say that it could kill the zombies.
I screamed "Ah!" and without caring if I would disturb anyone, I hugged my head, bent down, turned around and wanted to run.
However, a pair of extremely cold hands, as rough as grindstones, tightly grasped my arms. The force was so strong that it almost sank into my flesh. I could hear the sound of my muscles and bones being tightly tightened, and the pain was extreme.
At this moment, the jade pendant suddenly lit up, and I was horrified to see a bald man in a black cloth coat standing next to me. His eyes were white, like a blind man rolling his eyes. His whole face was a terrifying green under the light, and a pair of long fangs protruded from his lips, dripping with two drops of sticky liquid. The claws he grabbed on my arm were as thick as a monster, and they didn't look like human hands at all. The long nails had even pierced into my flesh.
Then, the light of the Jade Pendant faded, and I heard a plop sound, and the strength in my arm suddenly disappeared.
Was it the Jade Pendant that protected me?
Just when I breathed a sigh of relief, I heard two more "Huh" sounds, one after the other.
The door was pushed open with a bang, and after a click, the light in the room came on. I turned around and saw three men with angry faces standing at the door.
Turning his head back, he saw two zombies that were exactly the same as before, slowly retreating back into the specially designed dark place. The zombie that was ejected by the jade pendant lay on the ground motionless, as if it had lost its vitality.
One of the people outside went over to check on the zombies, while the others entered the house and approached me.
What are you...
Before anyone could say anything, they heard an angry shout from upstairs: You actually...!
With each loud noise, the faces of the people in front of me changed drastically, and two of them immediately turned around and rushed out of the room.
However, before they could rush out, someone cut through them.
Someone grabbed my arm again, and the old Taoist priest’s voice rang in my ears: Go!
The old Taoist priest pulled me and rushed forward in a hurry. The people at the door gritted their teeth but couldn't stop him. They were pushed against the wall by the old Taoist priest.
Are these people so weak? The Wei family is not like this. They are full of energy and can fight at first glance.
When he reached the door, the old Taoist kicked it. The copper door, which was more than two meters high, was kicked away by him. His strength was comparable to that of the copper-armored corpse.
But at this moment, two people jumped down from the upstairs window, and two people rushed out of the house. The four of them surrounded us and shouted in unison: "The mysterious law of heaven and earth, one vein is all!" Please ask Master Mao to command the corpses to display the five elements!
There were three roars in succession, and there was a sound of chaos in the house. Three figures fell from the roof like demons, bringing with them a foul smell.
Humph, without the gold corpse and the earth corpse, I want to see how your five-element corpse formation can trap me! The old Taoist priest snorted disdainfully , let go of my hand, and stretched out his hand to draw a talisman in the air: the five elements of heaven and earth, the law of heaven and earth, the fire spirit appears, the real fire talisman to ward off evil spirits!
A paper talisman emitting a faint red light flashed in the air, then split into three and rushed towards the three zombies respectively.
Maoshan's righteous law, the magic spells are powerful, please spirits possess ghosts and gods, hurry up as ordered! Someone shouted softly, and cast a spell to point at a zombie.
The pointed zombie raised its head and roared at Crescent Moon, and suddenly a bunch of sticky black liquid came out of its body. Under the illumination of the evil-repelling talisman, it kept swimming on the zombie's body, which was really creepy and horrifying.
The three True Fire Evil-Repelling Talismans were all taken by the walking corpse. But the old Taoist's fire talisman was not so easy to take. In Xishuangbanna, even the corpses on the ground were injured. And the corpse king did not dare to take the old Taoist's talisman.
Three true fire talismans exploded on the body of the water zombie like cannonballs. The horrible monster flew backwards with a bang without any sound, crashed into the wall, and made continuous rolling sounds in the house.
At this time, the old Taoist priest's second talisman had been completed.
The five elements of heaven, the golden spirit appears, slay the demons and exorcise the devils as quickly as the command! A golden talisman immediately turned into three golden lights, which shot towards the three people who were intercepting in front in an unusual way.
The sword light was like a dragon emerging from the sea, unstoppable. Several people's faces changed drastically and they dodged.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the old Taoist priest pulled me forward and the surrounding scene changed dramatically. When it stabilized again, we were already out of the city.
After stopping, the old Taoist priest took a breath, and without waiting for me to ask any questions, he took another step forward, and then again.
After three steps, he was at least ten kilometers away from the town.
This time, the old Taoist priest was panting even harder. I saw his chest was heaving, as if he was injured, so I hurried to support him.
It doesn't matter. The old Taoist waved his hand: "The four major branches are indeed not to be underestimated. A mere Five Elements Hall is so powerful. If it weren't for you being used as a lure for a sneak attack, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to take him down."
Using me as a lure? I figured it out in an instant. No wonder I thought the old Taoist priest was so strange this time. He brought me along on such a dangerous matter. It turned out that he used me as bait.
However, I didn't think the zombie vein was that powerful. I just cast two spells and it ran away. It took the old Taoist a long time to deal with a zombie.
In response to my doubts, the old Taoist explained that the Five Elements Hall Master was knocked unconscious by him and taken away, so no one could control the most powerful gold corpse. The earth corpse was knocked down by the jade pendant and could not be controlled in a short time. Otherwise, if they really formed a five-element corpse formation, it would take a lot of effort to leave.
Did you plan all this? Including the fact that the Jade Pendant can repel the zombies and make them uncontrollable. I asked in surprise.
The old Taoist priest hummed. I was a little shocked and a little scared. The old Taoist priest's shrewdness made me feel like I was being used as a chess piece. Is it good or bad for me to keep following him like this? Perhaps I shouldn't be scared by his threat that someone might come to my door.
At this moment, the old Taoist priest shook his sleeves, and an unconscious man fell out.
Why did you catch him? This man should be the master of the Five Elements Hall of the Walking Corpse Vein mentioned by the old Taoist priest. He looks very ordinary, but even though he is unconscious, his face is still full of fortitude.
Asked about Gamu's whereabouts. The old Taoist answered, then made a spell and pointed it at the Five Elements Hall Master.
The old Taoist pointed, and the Five Elements Hall Master frowned, then suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up, and punched the old Taoist.
