Chapter 1671: Things in the Well
The demon baby puffed up his cheeks desperately to play the suona, his little face turned red and many fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. The sound of water in the ancient well gurgled like a boiling fire, but other than that, there was no other abnormality.
Zhou Wen was crying miserably, tears flowing like a stream, his eyes were full of bloodshot, and he was crying so hard that tears of blood were about to come out.
"What a bummer! If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have stayed in this yard. I was too careless." Zhou Wen was depressed. If he had known this would happen, he would at least have made some preparations.
Originally, Zhou Wen relied on the King's Sigh that he had, which would not allow him to kneel and had a natural inhibitory effect on the sound of the suona. But who knew that this time the King's Sigh had no reaction at all, which caught Zhou Wen off guard. After being tricked, it was too late to resist.
Zhou Wen pressed his hands on the ground, trying hard to keep his head from touching the ground. He cried and tears streamed down his face, with blood seeping from the corners of his eyes. However, there was still much thunder but little rain in the ancient well, and nothing came out.
"Little baby, let's try again another day!" Zhou Wen cried and shouted at the demon baby. He really couldn't hold on any longer, and his forehead was about to hit the ground.
At this moment, the ancient well suddenly shone brightly, as if the wellhead had turned into a huge searchlight. The light gushed out from the bottom of the well, rising several meters high, and then scattered like a fountain.
Zhou Wen quickly held his breath and concentrated, using all his strength to fight against the sound. At the same time, he used his ability to listen carefully to observe the ancient well that had undergone a strange change.
The water in the ancient well surged like a stream, gushing out in waves. Soon Zhou Wen discovered that in the light rising like a spring, something slowly emerged.
"That's... a skeleton..." Zhou Wen was shocked to find that a skull head first emerged from the light, followed by a skeleton covered with tattered clothes.
Soon, a complete skeleton floated on top of the spring-like light.
The skeleton remained in a cross-legged position, covered in rags and linen that had rotted into strips. Its entire body had long since decayed away, leaving no trace of flesh and blood, but a head of white hair still grew on its skull.
Normally, hair grows on the scalp. The skull's scalp had long been gone, so even if the hair hadn't decayed, it should have all fallen off. However, the white hair on the skull was shining silvery white, with no signs of withering or falling off.
In addition, the necklace around the skull's neck is very eye-catching. It is a necklace made of black metal. The pendant part is shaped like a devil's eye, and the devil's pupil in the middle is a purple round crystal.
Although Zhou Wen was using Di Ting to listen to the scene, for some reason, he felt as if the devil's eye was staring at him.
In addition, the skeleton's left hand is still tightly clenched, and you can see something being grasped through the gaps between the finger bones, but most of it is blocked by the skeleton hand, so you can't tell what it is. You can only see from the exposed gaps that it is a small white object.
While Zhou Wen was still looking around, the suona sound suddenly stopped. The demon baby flashed and appeared in front of the skeleton. The sheathed magic sword in its hand stabbed at the devil's eye necklace on the skeleton's neck. The tip of the sword was pointing at the purple pupil crystal.
when!
The magic sword and the pendant collided with each other, making a crisp sound. The purple crystal emitted a purple light like a black hole, which actually blocked the magic sword and prevented it from advancing an inch.
The demon baby was already very tired from playing the suona. Now he burst out with all his strength. His body was trembling slightly due to overdrawn strength. His little white teeth were clenched tightly, and his chubby white face turned purple-red.
Zhou Wen was really afraid that she would bite too hard and break all her little white teeth. Without teeth, she would not be so cute anymore.
Zhou Wen didn't know why he could still think so much at this time.
"Help me." He didn't react until the demon baby squeezed out two words from between his teeth. He immediately jumped up from the ground, summoned the Immortal-Slaying Sword, grasped the hilt, condensed the power of slaying immortals, and pulled the Immortal-Slaying Sword out of the sheath, slashing at the necklace on the skull's neck.
The power of the Immortal-Slaying Sword combined with Zhou Wen's current strength, this slash cannot be ignored even by powerful life forms of the natural disaster level. However, for some reason, Zhou Wen felt that this slash might be in vain.
In an instant, it arrived in front of the skeleton, and just when the Sword of Immortal Killing was about to hit the necklace, the necklace suddenly broke with a snap and slipped off the skeleton's neck.
Zhou Wen was stunned for a moment, and he stopped the Immortal-Slaying Sword in his hand. An inexplicable throbbing surged in his heart, and this throbbing made him do this unconsciously, as if if this sword really slashed down, something ominous would happen.
Fortunately, Zhou Wen now has some control over the Sword of Immortal Slaying. If it were like before, he would not be able to control it even if he wanted to.
The sword blade finally stopped only a few nanometers away from the skull's neck. As the necklace slowly slid off, the light in the ancient well also dimmed.
Zhou Wen saw clearly that the necklace was not really broken, but the clasp of the necklace opened by itself, so it slipped off.
After the necklace left the skull's neck, the purple light on the Demon's Eye also converged. The magic sword directly shattered the pendant in the shape of the Demon's Eye, and the purple crystal that served as the pupil also fell out.
The demon baby pouted its little mouth and sucked the purple crystal in the air with all its might, sucking the purple crystal directly into its little mouth, and then swallowed it with a gulp.
The whole process was done in one go, and Zhou Wen didn't even have time to take a look at what the purple crystal looked like.
The necklace that was cut off by the demon baby fell to the ground, the light in the ancient well completely faded, and the skeleton also fell down. Its long silver-white hair quickly withered, decayed and flew away.
The entire skeleton's body was also rapidly decomposing, turning into flying ashes that scattered everywhere. The falling dust disappeared without a trace before it even touched the ground.
Snap!
Something fell to the ground. It was the white object that the skeleton had held in his hand before. It was a square metal object slightly larger than a matchbox. On one of the surfaces of the metal object, there was a white line connected to it like a small tail.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Zhou Wen always felt that when the skeleton was dissipating, it loosened its grip on its own, causing the metal object to fall.
Zhou Wen looked at the white thing, and as he looked, his eyes gradually widened, as if he had made some incredible discovery.
