Chapter 29 Mountain God
"Are you all asleep?"
"They are all asleep."
Shi Xu, who was resting on the high platform of the mountain temple, nodded after hearing this and yawned leisurely.
The light ball was startled by this, and immediately gathered energy and hit him on the head to wake him up physically.
"!"
Shi Xu was startled by the sudden attack, he covered his head and widened his eyes, the tears produced by yawning still hung in the corners of his eyes.
"You're so scary... I know all the tricks of this evil spirit, how could I be fooled? I'm just sleepy."
All the sleepiness in his head was driven away by this, and he was now very awake. He curled his lips in dissatisfaction, thinking that the light ball was taking revenge.
"Thanks to you, I'm not sleepy at all now."
The light ball breathed a sigh of relief, and accepted it without any regrets. Shi Xu thanked him insincerely, "You're welcome. It's what I should do."
"This dungeon is really shady. No wonder two teams failed."
Fortunately, it is not disturbed and will chat with Shi Xu regularly, and manually wake people up when they are sleepy.
Shi Xu was speechless. He wanted to say that he was just sleepy because he was not used to sleeping with others. He woke up three times in one night.
never mind.
He rubbed his troubled head with a sad face and obediently changed the subject: "Yeah, I spent a lot of effort to purify such a large amount of it."
Although the neatly arranged bones in front of him were still pale and cold, they had lost their ominous aura. At least at a glance, he wouldn't be invaded by the chill that followed him everywhere.
There are still five hours until the evil spirit's true revenge.
Qi Heng leaned back. The platform was spacious and clean, enough for him to lie down and rest for a while.
"I don't want to work anymore. Let the protagonists move it themselves. Just think of it as a way to practice your ability to adapt to changing circumstances."
——
Ye Yunhe fell into a dream.
The dream was bizarre and colorful, with fragments of her memories flowing throughout it. They were shattered and reshaped the moment they were touched, and her soul was pulled into it.
She seemed to see her familiar parents, who were kind and concerned about her well-being. What caught my eye was not the messy old home, but a newly built house.
It was like coming to a beautifully decorated shop, sitting on a soft sofa and enjoying snacks. Her hands suddenly felt sticky, and she looked down, seeing countless bowls and chopsticks piled up in front of her.
It was as if he had come into a warm inner room, surrounded by friends and relatives, gifts and ribbons, with faces full of joy and congratulations, but in an instant they turned into jackals with ferocious looks.
again……
A mixture of true and false memories.
The familiar flashing red dot, the cage that cannot be escaped, the gaze from beginning to end.
Is this a dream or a nightmare?
She was like a drowning person, unable to breathe oxygen and losing all her five senses. An invisible object blinded her eyes and entangled her as she continued to fall, reaching a deeper bottom of the sea.
who is she?
She almost forgot her own name. The feeling of suffocation became stronger and stronger. Endless nothingness enveloped her and she fell obediently into the unknown abyss.
“——”
There were faint fluctuations coming from a distance.
But it seemed to have touched a string in her brain, tightly holding back her consciousness that was about to dissipate, forcing her to forcefully open her eyes and look, staring silently.
“——”
“——!”
The fluctuations became a little stronger, as if someone was shouting.
For some reason, an unknown emotion arose in my heart.
She suddenly wanted to hear that voice clearly.
The extinguished will to live grew like weeds, awakening her mind and consciousness. She struggled to raise her arms and wave away the black air that blocked her vision. Her five senses gradually recovered as her resistance increased. She listened carefully to the fluctuations in the distance and could finally hear them clearly.
"leaf--!"
What leaf?
She blinked in confusion.
The black air swept in again, determined to completely envelope the resisting prey. She was breathing with difficulty, and after breaking free from the restraints she was filled with intense resistance and irritability, resisting fiercely and refusing to admit defeat, ignoring the pain spreading throughout her body.
In this tug-of-war, she fell into deeper suffocation, and her clear mind tended to be chaotic. At the critical moment, a familiar energy flowed through her blood, inexplicably giving her peace of mind.
Almost subconsciously, a faint light of energy was released, driving away the surrounding threats with an irresistible force, and gently swirling around the master to protect him.
Her five senses completely returned, her memory finally awakened, and she remembered her name.
"Ye Yunhe——!"
She also heard the voice clearly.
The dream is shattered.
——
"It's very deep."
Qi Heng shook his head helplessly, his voice a little hoarse from shouting.
Several hours have passed, so it should be possible for external force to wake it up.
Looking around, he turned around, picked up the kettle, and decided to use the water splashing method to sober himself up.
As a result, the kettle that was originally filled with herbal tea became very light, and there was not much sound of water when it was shaken. He raised an eyebrow in surprise and shifted his gaze to Si Yu'an's still-dry collar.
“…”
There is no way.
Qi Heng considered the remaining time, raised his hand solemnly and used his supernatural power to gather a small ball of lightning in the palm of his hand, intending to use the electric shock method to wake the person up.
But before he could hit Ye Yunhe, he saw the unconscious person on the table flutter his eyelashes, breathe rapidly suddenly, and clench the edge of the wooden table with his hands, almost breaking them with such force.
Upon seeing this, Qi Heng immediately stepped forward, grabbed Ye Yunhe's shoulders, and called his name again, with lightning in his other hand ready to move.
"!"
There was a sound of breaking air, and he quickly leaned back, nimbly avoiding the sudden headbutt. He jumped back and stood up, looking in surprise at the person who stood up suddenly.
"!"
Ye Yunhe swayed, holding onto the wooden table in front of him, and looked at Qi Heng and the thunder ball that he had not taken back in his palm with the same surprise and doubt.
The two of them stared at each other strangely for a few moments.
Qi Heng was the first to react. He breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
"You finally woke up."
"Well, thank you very much." Ye Yunhe covered his rapidly beating heart. The remaining emotions from the dream had not yet completely dissipated, making it difficult to tell where he was.
This was the first time she experienced the feeling of near death.
"How long has it been?"
Ye Yunhe looked at the tightly closed doors and windows. The room was very dark, with only a few candles emitting faint light. Occasionally, the shouting of villagers could be heard outside, but now it was completely silent.
Beside him, Lin Muyu and Si Yu'an were still sleeping.
"…About seven or eight in the evening. I'm not sure of the exact time."
Qi Heng pursed his lips, the joy in his eyes that came from his companion's awakening quickly faded, and he answered with a gloomy expression.
"The evil spirit appeared half an hour ago. I set up the formation according to the book, which can temporarily hide our presence, but it won't last long."
"I tried to wake you up, and as you can see, you were the only one who woke up."
Ye Yunhe took a deep breath, and was very dissatisfied with having to fight the BOSS bare-handed as soon as he woke up.
It was afternoon when they fell asleep, and now it was night. Using supernatural powers to reverse her physical condition is the most effective way, but with two people, twelve hours in total, her energy will be exhausted immediately, and she will have to pay a lot.
The captain must have sent a rescue message, but it seems that the space transmission has failed. She doesn't think that her value will be given up easily, and there must be someone out there trying to find a way.
The stories in comics about using love to persuade the boss are all fake, and teammates will not wake up to save the situation at the critical moment. In such a countdown to death, how can we seize a glimmer of hope?
She just happens to have the ability to turn adversity around.
Ye Yunhe closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She calmed herself down, turned her head and looked at Qi Heng. Under his puzzled eyes, she told him her true ability -
"My special ability is to go back in time."
She stepped forward and put her hands on the two sleeping teammates.
"I will turn back their time, back to the moment of wakefulness. This will take all my energy, so what happens next will be up to you."
"Don't worry, if the rescue team comes again, we won't leave you alone."
After he finished speaking, Ye Yunhe closed his eyes and concentrated, decisively withdrawing all his energy.
The silver-blue light gradually gathered into a galaxy, surrounding the three people and flowing counterclockwise, slowly accelerating as Ye Yunhe controlled it. Under the illumination of the energy light, her complexion turned from rosy to pale, and cold sweat dripped from her forehead.
Qi Heng looked at the scene in front of him quietly, with a silver-blue light reflected in his eyes.
His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he unconsciously revealed a hint of nostalgia, with a gentle smile on his brows. After coming back to his senses, he restrained himself completely and hid his emotion behind a cold face.
When time goes back to a certain minute.
Lin Muyu and Si Yu'an opened their eyes one after another, their eyes clear.
As their memories came back to them, they were startled and understood the current situation.
The silver-blue energy light flowed rapidly, and Ye Yunhe's hands trembled slightly. She began to feel short of oxygen, and sharp pains appeared in her temples as if being pricked by needles, spreading from the inside out to her entire body.
The supernatural power has reached its limit, but it cannot stop. Otherwise, there will be a situation where a teammate suddenly falls asleep in the middle of the fight, and it will take even longer to go back. She held her teammate's arm tightly and used all her strength to activate her supernatural powers.
Tinnitus, dizziness, bleeding, all kinds of side effects appeared on Ye Yunhe as more was transfused. She was a little unsteady and staggered, and in a daze someone held her steadily.
"Okay."
It was Qi Heng's voice, just like in a dream, as if it came from far away.
"You've done enough, leave the rest to us."
"Xiaoye, have a good rest."
Lin Muyu and Si Yu'an patted her hands soothingly.
The silver-blue energy light dissipated in the air. Ye Yunhe sat down on the chair with the force of his companion, feeling the tissue gently wiping his face, and the bloody smell around his nostrils dissipated.
The consciousness that was struggling to hold on was exhausted, and he fell into coma almost the next second after the supernatural power stopped. Even the continuous and incessant pain could not be stopped.
At least this time, I feel more at ease than last time.
——
After placing Ye Yunhe on the bed, covering him with a quilt and drawing a formation, the three of them returned to the table to understand the current situation.
Qi Heng repeated what he had told Ye Yunhe before, and then continued:
"About forty minutes have passed. Everyone in the village should be dead. The concealment formation will last about a quarter of an hour. As the person who set up the formation, I can sense the distance of the threat. The evil spirits haven't discovered us yet."
"The book says: To save the evil spirits, you must purify the evil bones and use the things in their past to confuse them. Only in this way can the final formation play its greatest value."
Lin Muyu nodded, explained to Qi Heng the process of purifying evil spirits, and turned the book to the corresponding page.
"The final formation is still a work in progress. We need to lure the evil spirits over after it is completed, and then cooperate to kill them."
"As for the evil bone, I have tried it and it can be used..."
"Wait a moment."
When Qi Heng heard the word "evil bones", he suddenly raised his eyes and interrupted Lin Muyu.
"Are you talking about the bones in the mountain temple?"
After getting Lin Muyu's confirmation, his face turned strange, as if he had encountered an incredible development.
"But when I woke up and checked, the bones had been purified."
"Didn't you do that?"
"What?"
"What?!"
Lin Muyu and Si Yu'an were surprised.
The two looked at each other and had the same guess in their minds. They turned around and asked quickly:
"Qi Heng, how did you wake up?"
"It's just a normal wake-up call, just like waking up from a good sleep."
Qi Heng looked at their expressions and realized something was wrong, so he responded quickly.
"If anything, when I woke up, I held a flower in my hand."
He pointed to the small flower that he had casually placed on the windowsill but which had gone unnoticed by others because of the dim environment.
"So it wasn't you who put it there?"
