Chapter 207 The Temple Guardian Zombie Lies Down
The three little demons looked at each other, completely baffled as to why Bao Shuoyu would go dig a hole.
But since the master said so, let's focus on the ground and not pay attention to other places.
A moment later, Xuanwu ran over to report, "Master, we found it! It's in the small hill behind the temple."
Yu Xiaoluo then dashed over.
Bao Shuyu was indeed inside the small hill.
It was a huge hole, and he was still digging inside.
Yu Xiaoluo was stunned. My goodness, you are a Demon Lord of extraordinary status.
How did it turn into a dog digging holes?
If my third brother knew this—he could laugh for ten years without breaking a sweat.
Yu Xiaoluo let Xiao Hei go in and forcibly pulled Bao Shuoyu out. Bao Shuoyu was covered in ice shards, his hair was a little wet, his gaze was somewhat vacant, and his eyes were dark and unfocused.
With a "smack," Yu Xiaoluo slapped him, and a black shadow suddenly darted out from his body. Xiao Hei saw it too and chased after it.
"Go back!" Yu Xiaolu shouted, but it was too late. The black shadow suddenly burrowed into Xiao Hei's body, and Xiao Hei was powerless to resist. Its originally brown pupils turned dark.
At this moment, Bao Shuoyu woke up and looked around blankly. "Holy crap, wasn't I sleeping? The bed was so warm. How did I end up here? My hair is covered in ice crystals. Achoo—it's so cold, I'm not wearing a coat."
Yu Xiaolu threw a set of cotton clothes out of her spatial storage, and Xiao Hei had already started to run away, so she chased after it.
But after running for a short while, Xiao Hei suddenly disappeared.
I wonder if it crawled into some hole. Didn't that zombie say that vengeful spirits like to crawl into holes? There must be many holes around. You can find big holes, but how do you find small ones?
For example, the hole that could accommodate Bao Shuoyu must be a large one, so it would be much easier to find.
"Luo Luo, what happened? What's wrong with Xiao Hei?"
Yu Xiaoluo briefly explained the situation, and Bao Shuoyu's ears burned. "I must have been too tired today. I slept too soundly and didn't even realize I was possessed. That vengeful spirit is terrifying. No, I have to destroy that thing."
"How can we destroy it? We can't even find Little Black now," Yu Xiaoluo said irritably.
"Hehe, there's still a way. Do you have any crispy yellow croaker in your inventory?"
Yu Xiaoluo was stunned for a moment, "Yes, vengeful spirits also like to eat this?"
"I don't know if vengeful spirits like to eat, but Xiao Hei's true form is very powerful. If we can draw out its strong essence, I think it might come back when it smells this fragrance."
So Yu Xiaoluo took out a bag of crispy yellow croaker, and she and Bao Shuoyu each took one. While they were biting into the crunchy, fragrant yellow croaker, they called out to Xiao Hei, "Xiao Hei, time to eat dried fish!"
"Little Black, if you don't come out soon, I'm going to finish eating. Let me tell you, I didn't prepare much dried fish this time, just a few packets. Once we finish them, they're gone."
Sure enough, not long after, Xuanwu and Xiaoxianxian called out softly, "Xiaohei is here."
But then Xiao Hei appeared, standing far away with his eyes fixed on the dried fish in Yu Xiaoluo's hand.
Yu Xiaolu smiled and waved to it, "Come on, there's more."
Xiao Hei hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked over, as if the vengeful spirit was also very interested in the alluring fragrance.
"Come here, let me give you a piece to try first."
When Xiao Hei saw Yu Xiaoluo throw the thing over, it first took off running, but after a few steps, it saw that they didn't chase after it, but just stood there watching it, while the fish slice was still on the ground.
It hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the fish slices, stuck out its tongue to lick the dried fish, and put it in its mouth, crunching and eating it with relish. Its eyes looked at Yu Xiaoluo and Bao Shuoyu, revealing a greedy glint in their hands.
Yu Xiaoluo gestured towards it, "There are more here."
As he spoke, he threw a whole bag of dried fish at it, and the dried fish inside scattered on the ground.
Seeing the delicious food on the ground, Xiao Hei, controlled by the vengeful spirit, no longer had time to be wary and happily began to eat. It had lived in this godforsaken mountain for hundreds of years and had not tasted such wonderful food in a long time.
Yu Xiaoluo and Bao Shuoyu exchanged a smile. Yu Xiaoluo silently recited an incantation and simultaneously pasted out several talismans. The talismans formed a circle in the air, so airtight that even a fly couldn't fly out.
Little Black was about to eat another dried fish when he found himself trapped inside, the invisible barrier getting smaller and smaller.
It sensed the danger, and a black shadow darted out of its body, trying to break through the cover and escape, but failed several times.
Xiao Hei, having regained his senses, began to fight the dark figure. Although they seemed to be fighting fiercely, Xiao Hei couldn't touch the vengeful spirit's body no matter how hard he fought, because it had no physical form.
This made Xiao Hei even angrier, but it was no use; it couldn't kill it even if it wanted to.
It looked at Yu Xiaoluo and Bao Shuoyu, its eyes pleading for help.
Yu Xiaoluo moved Xiao Hei to the other side, away from the vengeful spirit. After it moved away, the barrier suddenly contracted, and Xiao Hei was freed from the barrier, while the vengeful spirit remained in the barrier.
Now it has nothing to cling to, and it wanders around aimlessly, but it can't escape this invisible shield no matter what it does.
Yu Xiaoluo chuckled, cupped her hands together, and said, "Look at all you've got, shut up!"
As she spoke, the ever-shrinking dome flew into her hand along with the shadow. She took out a bottle from her spatial storage, put the vengeful spirit inside, and patted the bottle. "Alright, I won't destroy you. You can stay inside forever, until the end of the world."
"But I want to destroy it! It's outrageous!" This was the first time Bao Shuoyu had been hit by such a thing, and he was even digging a dog hole there. How could I, the Demon Lord, who had been so mighty for so long, endure such a humiliation?
If this gets out, where will he, the Demon Lord, put his face? Luckily, he's using Bao Shuoyu's identity now, otherwise—he'd be too ashamed to face anyone.
Oh well, it's Bao Shuoyu after all, so let him lose face.
It has nothing to do with him. The one being ridiculed is Bao Shuoyu, not him, the Demon Lord.
"Never mind, it's the same if you take it." Bao Shuoyu decided to stop dwelling on the matter.
Yu Xiaolu smiled and took Bao Shuoyu's arm, walking towards the temple, intending to continue her nap.
However, they discovered that the temple-guarding zombie was gone.
No, he lay down.
It seemed to be dead, its bones scattered haphazardly, only the red-tasseled spear still standing firmly on the snow, making everyone sigh with sorrow.
