The Golden Sword contained divine power. Even if she was a legendary evil spirit, how could she withstand such a blow? The Golden Sword was powerful because it was so powerful. So the trajectory and power were basically the same as hitting something with an ordinary baseball bat, and it would only hurt if it hit the face. However, the difference was that the aftereffect was the real terrifying part of it.
As I hit the stone, it hit two places that I could see. One was Mei Sanniang's face, and the other was where the stone bounced back and hit the nearby cave wall. Then the stone disappeared into the darkness. I could still vaguely hear the sound of clanging, like endless skipping stones on the water, one after another, echoing continuously.
A moment later, with a loud bang, Mei Sanniang's entire brain exploded, and the cave wall that was hit began to crack, causing a chain reaction. While Mei Sanniang was distracted and the dust was flying, Yunwen immediately broke free from her. Seeing a flying ant flying down from mid-air, she jumped up, grabbed the ant's feet, and was carried to the sky by it. The flying ant quickly flew close to me, and Yunwen returned to my side. We looked at each other and smiled.
But the next scene made us stop laughing. We saw Mei Sanniang's head exploded into a headless corpse, but she could still move freely. After a while, the bloody part of her neck began to gradually recover, and we could see the nerves and flesh began to spread and expand like some kind of moving worm, becoming more and more dense, and then gathered more and more, until forming tissues, skin, bones, essence and blood, and then not long after, the head grew back.
I was extremely surprised, but Yunwen was relatively better. Perhaps she had known that such a situation would happen, so she seized the opportunity to leave, instead of letting her guard down after seeing that the other party had been shot in the head.
"Well, Mr. Zhou, for so long I have been the only one who could deceive others, but few people can deceive me, the lord of the den of ghosts! To be exact, only you and that ungrateful man can deceive me. That ungrateful man was able to deceive me and let me be captured by those evil ways. Now you almost let me die in this situation where my foundation is not stable and my physical condition is still too weak. Not bad, not bad. I, Mei Sanniang, admire you." Mei Sanniang said.
"Mei Sanniang, without this heart, your body will not last more than seven days. When you die, even your soul will be reduced to ashes, and there will be no recovery. I advise you to go back to the coffin as soon as possible. I will try to help you put the soul-binding formation back so that you can at least be a lonely ghost. Otherwise, you may not have the chance to do what you want. Do you understand?" Yunwen said.
"Little girl, you are too inexperienced to trick me into going back to my fiefdom. Although you do have some understanding of me, and I will not live more than seven years if I am not careful, it is still too naive to think of using this method to trap me on my own initiative. You should learn more from Mr. Zhou who is beside you and pretend to be good when you want to deceive people. I might as well tell you that although I suffered a serious injury today, I, Mei Sanniang, want to get my heart back, but it is only a matter of time. Just wait, I will come back to find you soon." Mei Sanniang said.
I didn't expect that this fierce attack of the Golden Que Sword, which hit her head, still didn't kill her. But this is the best I can do. If she wants to escape now, I can't stop her, but if she wants to come and kill me, I don't think she can withstand it. After all, she was hit by the Golden Que Sword, and her condition is no longer very good.
We both suffered losses.
"Okay, but our ancestors asked the ants to guard the cave to prevent anyone from entering the cave to rescue you, the evildoer. Since our ancestors have this wish, I will definitely find a way to keep you." Yunwen said.
"You? Leave me? Hahaha, ridiculous! Little girl, I advise you to do everything within your ability and never try to take shortcuts. Today, since Master Zhou won a game from me, I might as well warn you. These ants can defend against tomb robbers, explorers, and treasure hunters, but they have no effect on me. If you approach me rashly, be careful or I will take your heart in an instant! But I don't want to see Master Zhou sad now, so I'll just give you a favor." Mei Sanniang said.
Although it was probably a lie, I was still terrified. If Yunwen got close to her impulsively, wouldn't she be walking into a tiger's mouth? Besides, those ants had been frightened by an earthquake before and didn't even care about me. It might be unrealistic to say that I could deal with Mei Sanniang.
"You!" Yunwen was about to step forward, but I held her hand.
I shook my head at her and said, "Don't go. We don't know her well enough and the information we have is incomplete. If what she said is true, then the heart I put in your hands will be lost. To be on the safe side, we must not be impulsive."
Yunwen listened to my reasonable words, so she nodded and said meekly: "I will listen to my husband. I will do whatever he says."
I coughed. Hearing her calling me husband over and over again, I couldn't help but feel a little excited.
At this time, Mei Sanniang stared at us closely and sighed. I happened to see her eyes full of envy and jealousy. It was obvious that our dog food was enough to stimulate her. Then she shouted and floated up, saying: "The mountains remain unchanged and the rivers flow forever. Mr. Zhou, I look forward to seeing you again."
"Next time we meet, I will definitely think of a way to kill you!" I said to her viciously.
Her face changed slightly, but she recovered immediately and said, "Are you in such a hurry to kill me? It seems that Master Zhou has begun to value my existence. Well, then I will look forward to your performance, don't let me down. And Zhang, you should also go back and think carefully about how to prevent me from taking your heart. I will give you some time, make sure you think it through, goodbye!"
After saying that, she flew down and disappeared in a puff of black smoke, but my sharp ears still heard a lot of crawling sounds, just like the sounds often heard on the beams of houses in the countryside at night. It seems that the so-called lord of the ghost den is actually just a mouse.
Hu, Huang, Bai, Liu and Hui are all spiritual creatures. I heard from the old people in the countryside that it is very easy to cultivate into Taoism. Many immortals in the northeast of China are also related to this. Hu is the fox, Huang is the weasel, Bai is the hedgehog, Liu is the python, and Hui is the mouse. Now I have met two of them. One is Hu Lingshang, who is related to the fox among the five, and the other is Mei Sanniang, the lord of the ghost den, and she is related to the gray fairy mouse clan.
No wonder those carvings on the pillars are all related to mice. They must be closely related to the original creature.
I sighed and said, "I don't know what will happen next, but at least he's gone, and the threat is lifted for now."
Yunwen shook her head and said, "No, the threat has just begun. Come with me to pay a visit to the Queen Ant, and then I will ask her to send us out. We have to hurry back to the post station to make preparations in advance. I heard that a group of secret human rats are looking for their master recently. Perhaps they have sensed the evil heart in my body and led them out of the secret place to look for their master. They will meet Mei Sanniang, and then we will be finished."
"The soldiers and generals are united in their fight and pointing their weapons at each other. It looks like this is going to be a tough battle!" I said.
"Yes, so I have a suggestion. I plan to talk to the queen ant later to see if we can form an alliance. If she is willing, I will ask her to send out some worker ants to help us build defense facilities. This way, we can at least take advantage of the terrain to increase our chances of winning. Otherwise, once those human rats come, we will definitely not be able to defend ourselves, let alone win the battle." Yunwen said.
I remembered what the bird had said to Yunwen, that they had seen species taller than trees. An ant in this place was this big, so it was not surprising that there were mice taller than trees. An army of humans and mice? It seemed that they were the species that the bird had warned me about before, but they were so big, and since I had never found any traces of them, it was clear that they were not only big, but also very good at hiding.
Since he is so tall and strong, our current defenses are not enough to resist him. Therefore, Yunwen’s proposal is indeed practical. We need a favorable ally to help us.
"Okay, without further ado, let's go find the queen ant. Once we reach the alliance, we have to go back and notify everyone to get moving." I said.
Yunwen nodded seriously with a frown on her face, and it seemed that she had no hope for the current situation.
