Six Days in a Deserted Village (End)
The stone steps in the basement were still not easy to walk on, and the environment seemed to have become a little colder. It was clearly summer outside, but it felt as if the air conditioner was on in here, making people shiver.
Xu Wei led the way, walking down the stone steps in the dark. The light from the flashlight was swallowed up a lot, and the halo became dimmer as they went further.
As I walked, the steps behind me disappeared.
She stopped immediately and reached back to grab it.
A cold hand came up to me, with its five fingers pressed against the back of my hand.
Xu Wei paused and shone the flashlight over there.
The pale face had a long tongue hanging out, the body was stiff, but it was still moving forward mechanically.
There were two figures following behind it, and the shadow in the middle was crossing the gap and putting his other hand forward.
Xu Wei glanced at the cool thing on the back of his hand.
The swollen palms are identical on both sides, with long, curved nails at the ends.
Before I turned around, I heard rustling noises in front of me, as if something was approaching around the corner.
Xu Wei was too lazy to compete with them in wits and courage.
As the powerful rhythm of the radio gymnastics sounded, the illusion was instantly shattered. When she looked back, she was already around the corner, with her teammates shouting at her.
"Xu Wei, why are you walking so fast? Who are you trying to scare quietly?" Sun Yi cursed.
She walked back to greet her teammates who were huddled together, and her eyes glanced at the moving shadows in the corner.
The shadows gathered and shrunk into greater darkness.
Lu Fanye looked over and saw that both of them were observing each other quietly, confirming the anchor point.
"Let's go," Xu Wei grabbed his hand without hesitation and held it tightly, "During this special period, it's better for everyone to hold hands."
Lu Fanye held the fox fairy in his other hand and let her pull him without saying a word. Sun Yi hurriedly came up to hold Xu Wei's arm, and Zhang Hao held Sun Yi's hand.
The corridor was narrow to begin with, and the four people squeezed together and safely passed through the first passage under the protection of the music.
After turning the corner is the second stone corridor, and at the end of the corridor is the mechanical stone chamber where the corpse of Yuezu God is stored.
Zhang Hao raised his flashlight and shone it towards the distance of the stone corridor. A circular halo of light passed by the ground and something flashed in the light.
"Huh?" He obviously saw it and moved the halo back, but the ground was empty.
"What is that? Sticky?" Sun Yi noticed a mass of liquid on the ground.
There was a slight noise above his head, and Zhang Hao immediately shone the light upwards, finally catching sight of the thing before it evaded away.
"Human form," he said, "with limbs and long hair, but crouched on top of the head, like a gecko."
Others were busy using flashlights.
"Hiss..." A snake-like breath came from the stone wall in the front and side. When the light shone down, a creature with female characteristics with limbs spread out was lying on the wall, twisting its limbs.
"This is the person imprisoned in the village chief's stone chamber..." Lu Fanye quickly judged, "I remember its face. There is a red scar on its left shoulder."
There was light wherever the gecko hid, and there was no escape for it, so it angrily spat out its tongue at everyone, shaking its hind legs as if it was accumulating strength.
Xu Wei summoned the dagger from his backpack and prepared to fight, but Lu Fanye got there first.
The fox fairy was thrown aside. He found an axe from somewhere and took a few steps forward. The gecko man was quickly enraged and rushed up.
Lu Fanye blocked the charge with the axe handle, quickly raised his foot to suppress it, squatted down and chopped with his backhand, and the gecko man's head fell to the ground.
The whole action was clean and neat, and he happened to take a few steps back, so the splattered blood did not stain his clothes at all.
"Awesome," Zhang Hao said, "You are worthy of being our main combat force for three months!"
Sun Yixiao: "Xu Wei, don't worry about it. We have been fighting the Skeletons for three months after all."
Xu Wei sighed.
It's not that she looks down on other people's fighting ability, but she is afraid that the mental pollution in the basement will aggravate assimilation.
They can't hear me even if I say it, which makes me feel very frustrated.
She had no choice but to say, "Be careful and don't leave the range of the song."
After the gecko man was dealt with, there was movement from the front again. This time there were not just one, but four.
Lu Fanye waited cautiously for them to come closer before killing them one by one. The entire corridor was suddenly filled with a strong smell of blood and decay.
"I told you, it's right to come together," Zhang Hao waved a flashlight up and down the passage, "If you hold the fox fairy in one hand and the wooden sign in the other, and you have to use the flashlight, you won't be able to kill the monster at all."
The halo flickered before his eyes, the smell of blood was pungent, Xu Wei frowned slightly, picked up the fox fairy and twisted its ear.
"Ouch!" The fox fairy cried out in pain and slowly woke up, "Where is this?"
Xu Wei: "Where? You've never been here?"
"...I may have been here before," it looked at the locked door for a while, "I do have some impression of it."
Xu Wei held it and activated the mechanism.
The stone door opened with a rumble, and the stone chamber was still spacious and huge, with a huge sarcophagus lying quietly in the middle.
Somehow, at first glance, the stone chamber seemed deeper than when I first entered it. The path from the door to the sarcophagus was stretched infinitely long by the chaotic space, as if it would never end. After a closer look, I felt that it was just an illusion.
"Are you coming in?" Sun Yi urged from behind.
Xu Wei tied the rope that bound the fox fairy tighter before stepping in.
As soon as I entered the door, the scene in front of me suddenly went dark and deafening whispers came from all directions.
She endured the headache and immediately stopped him: "Don't come in!"
However, she was too late. The person behind her almost impatiently stepped into the door, quickly passed her and ran towards the stone chamber.
Xu Wei turned around and bumped into Sun Yi, trying to push her back out the door, but the door to the stone chamber closed automatically at this moment, isolating her from the outside world.
The temperature dropped sharply.
Xu Wei couldn't see anything and could only make out the sounds around her. However, the chattering made her head hurt and she couldn't hear where her teammates had gone.
In desperation, she could only rush to the coffin first.
These few steps were very difficult to run. The originally empty stone chamber seemed to be suddenly crammed with hundreds of "people", who were surging shoulder to shoulder. Even with the control of radio gymnastics, it was still very crowded. She had to use all her strength to push away the "crowd" in front of her.
When I got to the side of the coffin, I encountered a warm body next to me.
It’s Magoichi.
She was going to crawl into the coffin.
Xu Wei tried to stop her with the hand that was holding the wooden sign. Just as she was about to pull it up, the sign was grabbed by another strong hand, which used great force to pull most of the sign out of her hand.
Sun Yi, who was held by the hand, was still trying hard to climb into the coffin. The surging figures behind her all squeezed over, pressing down on her while doing gymnastics. The heavy force forced her to knock on the coffin, and her upper body gradually bent inward.
His body was aching, his head was noisy, and his teammates were making things worse. Xu Wei was extremely annoyed.
She yelled, "Get out!"
Swish.
The crowded "crowd" behind me suddenly stopped.
Xu Wei was also stunned for a moment by this change. When she came to her senses, she immediately took the opportunity to press on Sun Yi and unceremoniously broke her fingers.
Sun Yi cried out in pain, regained some consciousness, and slid down following her force.
Xu Wei threw the fox fairy under his feet and stepped on it, then used all his strength to snatch the wooden sign from the giant hand.
The opponent was too strong and she soon couldn't hold him back, so she drew out her dagger and chopped him hard.
Cut the air.
The giant hand disappeared, and the crowd came over again.
Xu Wei roared again: "Get out!!"
The crowd paused for a moment, and then actually began to retreat with rustling movements.
"Sun Yi! Zhang Hao! Lu Fanye!" Xu Wei held the wooden sign tightly and shook his head towards the stone room. "Can you see it?"
Sun Yi, who was standing beside him, was conscious and confused: "Immortality... Immortality! May the ancestors bless you!"
Xu Wei kicked her directly on the head, knocking her unconscious.
"Lu Fanye! Zhang Hao!" she continued to shout.
No response.
This is not good news.
She squatted down and groped for the fox fairy under her feet, but she only felt a cold corpse wrapped in clothes.
His hand paused, and suddenly he heard a shallow breathing sound above his head.
His breathing became louder and louder, and he gradually approached her from behind.
If Xu Wei could see, he would find a human corpse as wide as two people sitting behind him, with eyes tightly closed, a fox fairy face, wearing a white cross-collared and right-lapeled shirt, and tiny arms growing out of his shoulders.
The arm was bent, and the skin broke through it, revealing countless fingers.
She clenched the wooden sign, took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down.
She knew very well what was going on behind her.
The fox fairy disappeared and the Yuezu God rose from the dead, which was consistent with her judgment. She came here to further verify her guess.
The Yuezu God had little power before and only appeared as the background of the new evil god, but that doesn’t mean it has no power.
The fox fairy is the body it had been eyeing for a long time.
The face of the red statue became clearer and clearer, indicating that it was slowly recovering its strength while it was dealing with the new god.
During the three months of escape, the fox fairy disappeared, most likely possessed by the Yuezu God, and now suddenly appears for the power of the wooden sign.
When she held up the wooden sign in the main room, not only Chen Yu showed a look of longing.
The fox fairy deliberately let her hair down to cover her face, which became consistent with the gradually clearer features on the statue.
The remaining power of Yue Zu God was divided into three parts. If it possessed the fox fairy and ate the rest of its corpse, it would only need to get the wooden sign.
Xu Wei came here to confirm whether the corpse in the coffin was still there. If not, he would kill the fox fairy immediately; if still there, he would control the fox fairy to create a new evil god and let them kill each other.
The fox fairy was most likely an interstellar creature that had fallen into the dungeon. That was why she did not kill it on the ground but took a more roundabout approach.
In this situation, there is no need to determine whether the body is still there.
She turned around and stabbed the thing, then quickly retreated.
The deprivation of vision made the battle much more difficult, and she could only judge the opponent's position by the control of the music.
The opponent was very cunning. He teleported in the stone chamber to dodge Song's control. His huge body hit the ground with a dull impact sound.
More and more arms appeared on the body, gradually twisting and deforming, and growing many fleshy tentacles. The tentacles became longer and longer, hanging down to the ground, gently twisting and spreading.
Xu Wei only had a small dagger on him, and the damage it caused could not keep up with the speed at which the tentacles grew.
Sun Yi showed signs of waking up again, the other two were nowhere to be seen, and Xu Wei had to deal with occasional attacks. He was completely overwhelmed.
She somewhat regretted not taking Lu Fanye's axe.
If you continue to fight like this, you will be the one who suffers.
At this moment of crisis, the door of the stone chamber suddenly opened.
"Xu Wei." Lu Fanye's voice sounded like nature at this moment—he did not enter the stone chamber.
The heavy axe was thrown in and hit the ground with a solid dull thud.
"Sun Yi is on the left side of the coffin. I've pulled Zhang Hao back." Even though he saw an evil creature in the stone chamber, his voice remained calm and extremely reliable at the moment. "The mechanism is stuck. If you get tired of fighting, you can lure it out. I'll do it for you."
Xu Wei hurried over to the sound, and when he touched the axe handle, he grinned with joy.
I wish I could give him a bear hug.
"I can't see," she said.
"To the side and rear." he reminded.
Xu Wei immediately turned around and swung the axe, which hit the shoulder of Yue Zushen who was approaching in an instant, cutting off a finger.
"Right corner."
She held the axe to the right in defense.
“Here I come.”
The axe struck again, and this time she repositioned it to go straight for its neck.
"A little to the left."
Xu Wei therefore misaimed his aim the next time and chopped solidly into the opponent's thick neck. The axe blade got stuck and he almost couldn't pull it out.
She shook her hurt hand.
"Are you tired?"
Xu Wei shook his head fiercely, eager for the next attack.
"So excited?" Lu Fanye's tone was a little amused, "Does your head still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt. Once you open the door, all those messy noises will disappear," Xu Wei said excitedly. "I love you, Xiaolu."
Lu Fanye's voice was stunned.
"You're such a great teammate." She followed the same pattern and chopped off a large number of tentacles.
Lu Fanye had helped so much, she didn't mind being a little sweeter.
But he had returned to his usual calm tone: "Go straight ahead."
Xu Wei opened and closed his sword under Lu Fanye's guidance. Without the blessing of spiritual pollution, Yue Zushen was just a wooden target for close combat. He tried to attack Lu Fanye several times but was blocked by her. He could only gradually weaken after being defeated again and again.
Physical annihilation is also annihilation.
When the Yuezu God was completely chopped into non-renewable parts, the bracelet vibrated and they received a notification that the mission was completed.
"What's going on? I still can't see?" Xu Wei held the axe in confusion.
In the darkness, someone took her hand, and her palm was warm.
Lu Fanye tightened his grip in a soothing manner: "Let's go and wake up Sun Yi and Zhang Hao. Aren't we going to set fire to this place?"
"Okay," Xu Wei held the other person tightly with his backhand, "Go back quickly, I have a lot of questions for Mao Ting."
About the copy, about "it", about...herself.
