Chapter 32 Mountain God
The disappearance of the target of hatred made the evil spirit confused for a moment. He searched the remaining buildings again, and after confirming again and again that there was no trace of the two people, he finally turned his gaze to Lin Muyu not far away.
He stopped his anger in confusion and slowly regained his sanity. He had enough energy to control the two consciousnesses in his body and noticed the huge formation that gathered energy.
The strong resistance generated subconsciously caused the evil spirit to take a few steps back involuntarily. It was unwilling to approach that area and just stared at the person in the middle of the formation.
The two parties, one in the sky and the other on the ground, stared at each other in silence.
A leaf was blown by the wind and fell to the ground, making an inaudible sound.
Without any warning, a familiar aura suddenly appeared from behind the evil spirit and quickly attacked it like a sharp arrow, approaching in an instant, with a murderous intent that made one's scalp tingle.
The evil spirit was horrified and dodged immediately, but was surprised to find that the human not far away was also slashing at him with a knife, and lightning suddenly appeared on the side.
In front is the sharp tip of a knife, causing a biting sound of wind; on the right is a huge sword that is swung up fiercely, with unstoppable momentum; on the left is lightning as violent as a silver dragon, roaring and splitting the night.
There was no way out for a while.
The evil spirit tried to transform its body into a virtual form, but it could not avoid the lightning attack, and it still reappeared when it felt the pain.
So He wanted to fly upwards again, but the lightning would lock His head at a short distance, and His movements would inevitably slow down after the pain, and the big sword and sharp blade would still come towards Him.
Although these injuries will not destroy its roots, the evil spirit is still continuing to absorb the souls of the villagers. External influences can easily cause it to lose its mind and be controlled by the later consciousness.
What despicable villagers!
The evil spirit was so angry about the development of being surrounded by enemies that it wanted to self-destruct and perish together with these hard-to-kill humans.
In a flash. The evil spirit, who was thinking very quickly, suddenly discovered that the man with the knife in front of him paused, a look of pain flashed across his face, and his wrist trembled, causing the tip of the knife to deflect.
Good opportunity!
He was secretly delighted, and as his mind was disturbed by distracting thoughts, he had no time to think any more. He took advantage of the flaw and rushed straight towards Lin Muyu, with black energy bursting out.
The shadow rose up and pulled Lin Muyu to the side with all his strength, narrowly avoiding the flying evil spirit.
Even though they were almost face to face, he could feel the chill penetrating into his bones. Countless blood-red eyes stared at Lin Muyu. The scattered black air scratched his skin, leaving a burning pain.
The lightning struck the ground due to the lack of target, leaving behind charred marks.
Qi Heng followed closely behind. He jumped up, stepped on Si Yu'an's raised sword to gain leverage, and kicked upwards along the force of the opponent's swing.
While suspended in the air for a moment, two guns condensed out of thin air. He held them tightly in his curled hands and raised them up, with the muzzles pointing directly at the enemy below.
Two gunshots were heard, and bullets carrying lightning were fired at high speed at the evil spirit who was delighted to escape the encirclement. The bullets were deeply embedded in His body, exploding inside His body. Through the emanating black air, one could glimpse the scene of lightning running through it.
This combination of skills was incredibly smooth. It was the first time the three of them worked together, but they cooperated very well.
The evil spirit couldn't help but twist its body due to the intense pain, and its sanity, which had finally recovered, was counterattacked by another consciousness that took advantage of the opportunity.
The body is solid, the mind is unclear, and the instincts are running wild with frenzy and murderous intent.
Qi Heng landed lightly, raised his two guns without hesitation and continued shooting.
Si and An used their special abilities to the extreme, frantically sending their bodies into a frenzy, and attacking when the evil spirits were unable to dematerialize after the lightning strike. That speed almost turned the two-handed sword into a one-handed sword.
Lin Muyu cut away the blackened wound, stimulating his senses that were numbed by sleepiness, and also stepped forward to swing the knife.
The three of them calmly drove the evil spirit to the vicinity of the formation, but it still had a subconscious resistance to the formation. They attacked with all their might, causing their hatred values to soar into the sky, and they fought back desperately using only instinct.
Fortunately, it's getting closer.
As time passed, the evil spirit became more and more courageous, and all three were injured.
Wounds with debuffs will affect themselves. They resist the gradually increasing sleepiness, using the pain to stay awake and not let themselves be distracted.
Ye Yunhe's backflow bought him a lot of time, but there would always be a moment when the energy would run out. If he fell before that, it would be a great loss.
Seeing that the area near the formation was empty, they suddenly felt that it was not entirely a bad thing for the evil spirit to throw away the mountain temple. At least there would be nothing blocking the way.
Time is running out.
Qi Heng narrowed his eyes and estimated the distance. He no longer hesitated, turned sideways and kicked the evil spirit hard towards the formation. The black air instantly wrapped around his calf.
Seeing this, the other two also attacked hard with their weapons.
The three forces instantly pushed the evil spirit away, causing it to touch the edge of the red line.
Suddenly the light became bright, and the formation that had been waiting for a long time could not wait to suck in its prey. The evil spirit's heart was filled with alarm bells, a sense of threat spread throughout his nerves, and he tried every trick in the book to escape.
To no avail, invisible ropes bound Him to the center, slowly purifying the black air that the evil spirits depended on for survival. The feeling of energy loss made him scream in fear, and his facial features showed panic, just like the famous painting "The Scream".
Si Yu'an and Lin Muyu immediately stepped forward and released their special energies to stabilize the formation and strengthen its effectiveness.
Qi Heng fell to his knees, gasping for breath as he looked at his calves, which had been corroded to the point that the bones were exposed and the flesh and blood were blurred.
The poison numbed the pain sense of the vest, which was not there to begin with, and only a surge of sleepiness overwhelmed Qi Heng, making him unable to stand up. He could only lower his head slightly to fight against his shaky eyelids.
This body can no longer be used.
He thought to himself, still sane.
My senses felt like they were immersed in water. I couldn't hear any sounds from the outside world through the transparent barrier. The faint roar of evil spirits was the clearest.
Qi Heng’s part has come to an end, and now it’s Bai Day’s turn to appear.
The question is, how can he convince the light ball to agree to cooperate with his plan? There is not much time left.
"Shi Xu, something's wrong."
The light ball stared at the energy detector and found that the decreasing data began to slowly rise again, and spoke seriously.
"His energy has begun to grow again. If it continues like this, he may even be promoted... This obviously didn't happen in the original world line?"
……Um? Is there such a good thing?
Shi Xu was surprised. I didn't expect that the evil spirit could be self-reliant and have such a strong desire to survive.
He originally wanted to persuade Xiaoguang to lend him a hand, but it seems that is no longer necessary.
There are clues to follow, and the most reasonable explanation is that the souls of the villagers also sensed the threat of extinction, so they merged with their original consciousness under great pressure. It actually has such a magical use?
I really want to complain...Shouldn't the opportunity for promotion in such a desperate situation be given to the protagonists? Why does it keep happening to the BOSS?
"Relax, the deviation of the original world line is normal." After thinking for a while, Shi Xu comforted the light ball with concern in his eyes. He thought carefully and then quickly gave his suggestion:
"Based on the speed of the evil spirit, I'm afraid it will soon be upgraded to S level and break free from its restraints."
"Xiao Guang, have you noticed? These bosses will have a short blank period in the final stage, but because of the oppression, no one can take advantage of this opportunity to launch a sneak attack."
"But you and I are different. As special players, we will not be affected. As long as we invade the evil spirit's mind at that weak node, we can control it."
"?"
The ball of light was already in deep thought, and after hearing such a long string of words, it immediately leaned back strategically, looking at Shi Xu who was smiling calmly, with a look of understanding.
"Such details... How long have you been holding this in your heart?"
Earlier, when the other party asked about the dropped objects, Guangqiu couldn't help but feel weird, thinking that this guy would definitely not be so worry-free.
They have been together for such a long time that it has long been familiar with Shi Xu's style and habits, and knows that it would be a miracle for this man to be able to sit still and complete a plot. I was waiting for him to bring back the entire plot line, but now, his tail is out!
The light ball proudly put his hands on his hips and dared to declare that no one in the world knew this guy better than himself.
It hummed and spoke confidently:
"I knew you had a plan when you asked me this question before, and it turned out just as I expected!"
Shi Xu had already controlled the vest and fainted peacefully on the ground. He could still vaguely sense the worried looks from Si Yu'an and Lin Muyu.
Alas... I hope the next plan will not cause any psychological trauma to these two people.
He prayed silently for a moment before speaking to the light ball:
"Xiao Guang, don't you feel excited about the falling objects so close to you?"
Shi Xu spoke in a pitiful tone as he told the light ball about his difficult psychological journey. He said he didn't know how long it took him to control his restless hands, and even during the exciting moment of fighting monsters, he was trying hard to think about how to convince it.
Finally, in the speechless eyes of the light ball, he revealed his true intentions:
"Time is running out, the data is still rising, right? Soon an A-level will evolve into an S-level big boss. What should I do? I have no idea how to stop it——"
What else can the light ball do? If there is a major plot deviation, Shi Xu will definitely inform it and obtain its consent before proceeding, so Guangqiu also trusts the bottom line of his partner.
But this time Shi Xu hasn't said a word yet. It was purely because of the previous small deviation that led to the current big deviation. The unexpected development made people can only watch.
......
In the end, isn't it this guy's fault that led to the current consequences? !
After cursing in his heart, Guangqiu still reluctantly agreed to Shi Xu's plan. He felt that his bottom line had been lowered again and again, to the point where even he felt pathetic.
It teleported Shi Xu's original body to the vicinity of the formation, and after a moment of patience, it still complained in dissatisfaction:
“Damn it, who am I doing this for? You’ll feel pain if you rashly convert such strong energy.”
"I used your hand to release a lightning that was too strong last time, and you were still yelling that your arm hurt."
It mumbled.
"......"
Shi Xu was silent for some reason.
The ball of light waited quietly for a moment, but heard no response. It asked him what was wrong in some puzzled manner, suspecting that he was under the influence of an evil spirit.
"Oh, nothing."
Shi Xu narrowed his eyes in response to its worried gaze, showing the most common smiling expression seen on the light ball.
His eyes wandered over the surrounding weeds and buildings, then he raised his arms and stretched slowly.
"I'm just not used to the feeling of being peeled off my shell yet. I'll just move around for a bit, don't worry about it."
