Hou Linhao was trampled and collapsed to the ground, unable to support himself. His eyes gradually changed; his forehead turned black, and the whites of his eyes almost disappeared.
It's obvious that it's possessed by something.
He made the exchange voluntarily. The thing possessed him and was extremely powerful, emanating an evil and ominous aura.
The creature seemed very angry; this person had interrupted its feeding twice. "You're asking for it—"
Mingzhuo slashed his sword across its mouth, "Don't you know villains die from talking too much?"
After waiting two seconds and seeing no response, she swung her sword again. "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you mute?"
He Wangyao looked at him with disbelief and whispered a reminder, "Boss, you shouldn't hit someone in the face, and the same goes for their mouth. It will get very angry if you do that."
Slapping someone in the mouth with a peach wood sword doesn't cause much damage, but it's very insulting. If it angers the opponent, they might unleash their ultimate attack, which would be troublesome.
He felt it was better not to do that; when dealing with evil spirits, it was always better to be cautious.
The creature's expression changed, and wisps of black energy began to emanate from its body.
In an instant, the black energy swelled into black mist, engulfing everyone within it.
He Wangyao thought to herself, "We're doomed. The opponent really went all out!"
He thought the black mist would drag him in as well, since he was a pure yin constitution, and even ghosts and monsters coveted Tang Sanzang's flesh, so the other party would definitely target him first.
He instinctively closed his eyes, but then realized, wait a minute, the black mist didn't roll over.
As if encountering some invisible barrier, the black mist lingered at a distance of less than a meter, hesitant to advance.
"That's wonderful, Ah Xu, you're truly my benefactor!" He Wangyao hugged Gu Xu's arm, so excited she almost cried!
This was the first time he hadn't been specifically targeted by evil spirits, all thanks to Ah Xu!
The black mist was clearly something was wrong; it was oppressive, evil, and ominous, making people unconsciously feel irritable.
Gu Xu: "The car lights are off."
The car lights went out at some point, and everyone else was no longer there.
Gu Xu couldn't see the black fog, but on a night without stars or moon, there was no light source and visibility was low.
"Let's go take a look in the bamboo forest." Gu Xu glanced around and quickly made a decision. Just as he was about to take a step, he suddenly looked down at the hand on his arm.
Having learned her lesson from being alone in Xianyuan Village before, He Wangyao clung tightly to Gu Xu's arm this time.
After all, ghosts and monsters can use illusions, and seemingly safe distances are not reliable.
If he could, he would be willing to be Gu Xu's accessory, because that would give him a great sense of security.
Gu Xu paused for a moment, then continued walking. "Let's go."
He Wangyao: "Oh, okay."
He noticed that Ah Xu's temper was getting better and better, and he didn't even ask him to let go.
He Wangyao felt that there was an overwhelming black fog and she couldn't see anything, so she naturally left the navigation entirely to Gu Xu.
While there was still a faint glimmer of daylight outside, the bamboo forest was pitch black, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
"Turn on your phone's flashlight," Gu Xu said, as he was also somewhat disoriented in the complete darkness.
"Oh, oh." He Wangyao was reminded and hurriedly reached for her phone, and then the unexpected happened in that instant.
A hand silently reached up and, in the next second, delivered a sharp blow to He Wangyao's head.
Before He Wangyao could react, Gu Xu had already pulled him aside and at the same time raised his hand to accurately grab the wooden stick that was attacking again.
The faint light from the phone illuminated the man's eyes, revealing only a chilling murderous intent within them.
He Wangyao was startled: "Li Wenhe! Wenwen, wake up quickly, it's me, Yaoyao!"
He thought for a moment, then quickly took out the amulet and stuck it on Li Wenhe's forehead. "Are you awake?"
Li Wenhe suddenly came to his senses. He had just been bewitched by the black mist. He closed his eyes and calmed himself down.
"Okay, thank you."
Gu Xu threw the wooden stick on the ground. "Where are the others?"
“I don’t know, they should all be in the bamboo forest. We need to find them quickly,” Li Wenhe said.
He had just seen what he cared about most and what terrified him most in the black mist; the chilling killing intent that wanted to destroy everything still made his heart numb slightly.
If others fall into this emotional state, they might be misled and start attacking people just like him.
Fortunately, with Gu Xu there, they quickly found the other people.
Pei Di and Hou Zhihui got tangled up together. Pei Di, that simpleton, was furious when he saw himself being bullied by older students when he was younger.
He lunged at Hou Zhihui, pinning him down and preparing to beat him mercilessly, but suddenly remembered something, "Where's the boss?"
He remembered being bullied and extorted by older students when he was a child. Mingzhuo led him to fight back and let him beat them up himself, then sat aside and watched.
He felt uneasy without Mingzhuo by his side, so he locked the other man's limbs and shouted, "Boss, come quick!"
However, it was precisely because of this that a bloody conflict was avoided.
When Hou Zhihui was woken up, she was still filled with the anger of wanting to destroy everything, and she felt a wave of fear after waking up.
"I didn't expect to fall for this so easily, I'm ashamed." He got up, feeling sore all over, glanced at the muscles on Pei Di's arm, and remained silent.
Young people these days are so amazing; older people can't keep up!
Gu Xu looked at the group of people who had been gathered, but he didn't see Ming Zhuo.
I don't know where she and Hou Linhao went.
——
When Mingzhuo saw the black mist, she was not surprised at all, and she let herself be drawn into it.
She had something she wanted to know; nothing ventured, nothing gained.
That thing wanted to create an illusion for her, and actually fabricated the phantoms of Cheng Jiangkai and Liu Manling. She also saw Cheng Jingru and Shen Boyuan.
