Chapter 038
Or rather... the person who attacked from the dark was too fast.
If it weren't for the other party...
"Be careful!" Aqiu's reminder was still a second late.
Or rather... the person who attacked from the dark was too fast.
If the main target of the other party's sneak attack was not Ye Qi, Cheng Hui would be more seriously injured than he is now.
At this time, Ye Qi was seriously injured and was spitting out blood. Cheng Hui was slightly less seriously injured than him, but he was also almost unable to get up.
"Not good!" Master Xuan Tan's face changed drastically.
The attacker hid among the many evil creatures and approached and hurt people when they were not paying attention.
The Buddhist beads in Master Xuan Tan's hand flew out, temporarily forming a layer of golden light shield, temporarily isolating those evil creatures.
"How are you?" Aqiu asked anxiously.
At this moment, he was extremely annoyed. Why couldn't he show up? Otherwise, how could this little evil creature hurt Cheng Hui?
"Die... cough cough, I can't die." Cheng Hui spat out another mouthful of blood. Xin Erniang took this opportunity to run over and stuffed a pill into his mouth. "Hey, are you okay? Don't die..."
Cheng Hui couldn't help but smile bitterly. If possible, he didn't want to die, but looking at the densely packed evil creatures, he really didn't have much confidence that he could hold on to his life.
Ye Qi has basically lost his combat effectiveness. Although those evil creatures dare not approach the layer of bright light shield for the time being, it is not difficult to see from their greedy eyes that once the shield disappears, none of them will survive.
Seeing that several people had fallen into a desperate situation, Aqiu said, "Do you dare to take a gamble? I'm not sure whether that road is a way to survive or a trap."
"It's already this time, I dare to take the gamble as long as there is a glimmer of hope." Cheng Hui said.
"Then... jump into the well!"
"Jump into the well?" Cheng Hui instinctively looked up at the well in the middle of the yard.
Speaking of this courtyard, there is a well in each courtyard. Logically speaking, an ordinary manor does not need so many wells. I have been there several times before, but every time I was attracted by something and really forgot about it.
Could it be that there is something hidden under this well?
At this moment, he could not care about the consequences. Seeing that the golden shield had dimmed and cracks were appearing, he decided to take a gamble instead of waiting to die here.
"It's come to this now. Instead of waiting to die here, we might as well take a gamble. Let's jump into the well!" Cheng Hui said to the other three.
"Jump into the well? Are you crazy?" Xin Er Niang screamed.
"No... maybe jumping into the well is our only way out." Although Ye Qi was seriously injured, his mind was still clear. After hearing what Cheng Hui said, he immediately realized the strangeness of the well.
The same was true for Master Xuan Tan. At this time, hesitation was the worst thing to do. Therefore, Master Xuan Tan said directly: "I will take Ye Qi, Xin Er Niang, you take Cheng Hui, I will jump first."
After saying that, he drove Ye Qi into the well.
There was a loud splash, as if something heavy fell into the water, and then there was no sound.
There was no response from either Ye Qi or Master Xuan Tan.
Xin Erniang bit her lower lip tightly and looked at the well with fear, as if it was a huge mouth that was swallowing up lives.
Seeing that the golden shield had begun to break, Xin Erniang was still hesitating. Cheng Hui shouted, "Don't delay! Jump if you don't want to die!"
Xin Erniang gritted her teeth and jumped down with her men.
thump--
There was the same sound of a heavy object falling into the water, and then there was no sound.
The golden shield finally broke, and many evil creatures swarmed to the well.
But they seemed to be afraid of something, with greedy expressions on their faces as they surrounded the wellhead, but no one dared to get close.
Among the evil creatures, a black shadow half the height of a person slowly walked forward. The black shadow was kneaded and stretched like dough, and soon it took the shape of a woman.
If Cheng Hui and the others were still here, they would find that the woman formed by the black shadow looked exactly like Madam Xie.
The shadowy Madam Xie walked to the well, swept her cold gaze through the water, and sneered, "I've already sent the person in to you, but if you want to keep him for yourself, don't blame me for being rude!"
Suddenly, a silver bell-like chuckle came from the well: "Don't worry."
Mrs. Xie had no expression on her face and her figure gradually disappeared.
Numerous evil creatures also gradually disappeared in the entire manor, as if they had never appeared.
"Puff...Pooh!" Cheng Hui suddenly rushed out of the water and started coughing violently.
It was bad luck that as soon as he followed Xin Erniang into the water, he felt a violent whirlpool that sucked him in.
He felt like he was thrown into a washing machine, tossing and turning involuntarily. He didn't know how long it was before he was thrown out.
He swam dazedly towards the direction of the light and finally surfaced before suffocating to death. But at this time, not to mention Ye Qi and Master Xuan Tan, even Xin Er Niang was nowhere to be found.
"What the hell is this place?" Cheng Hui didn't know where the whirlpool had taken him. He only knew that he was alone now and the only one he could rely on was himself.
"Get up first, don't stay in the water, it's not safe."
Cheng Hui: ...Oh yes, and there is also a fiancé Aqiu who appeared out of nowhere.
He groped his way out of the water and found a passage ahead. He had just climbed out of a small pond.
There were lights on both sides of the passage, but the flames inside flickered with an eerie green light.
Cheng Hui leaned over to take a look and smelled a foul odor.
"Corpse oil lamps." Aqiu could tell at a glance that the lamps were made of corpse oil.
Cheng Hui reflexively retreated tactically, and I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but it felt three points worse than before.
Cheng Hui sighed. He had no way to retreat now and could only move forward. Fortunately, he was the kind of person who would usually try to survive, but if he was really in a desperate situation, he would have the courage to face danger.
"Really? Can't you give me a little more time to improve my cultivation before trying again?" Cheng Hui couldn't help but complain.
The demons in this world are not that strong. In his words, this is a low-magic world.
Anyone who has the foundation-building ability can almost walk sideways here.
Unfortunately... he hasn't even established his foundation yet, so he is so powerless when facing danger.
Suddenly, he remembered the beautiful woman he met when he was on the verge of death. Although he could not remember what she looked like, he still remembered that the beautiful woman was full of momentum, and every move she made was full of power.
"So, being strong is the key to survival in this world..." Cheng Hui said silently.
The passage was very dark and the smell of the burning corpse oil lamps was very foul. Cheng Hui couldn't help but feel a little nervous walking in such a passage.
He complained like this as a way to relieve his psychological pressure. Otherwise, he would not be able to wait for the enemy, and this seemingly endless passage would be enough to make him collapse.
"Do you want to become stronger?" Aqiu suddenly asked.
Cheng Hui suddenly smiled, "Should I choose 'YES' or 'yes' next?"
Aqiu:???
"Ahem... Sorry, I was just joking." Cheng Hui's mouth twitched. He felt that he was too nervous and started talking nonsense.
Ah Qiu took those words to heart. He had always thought Cheng Hui's mind wandered, and he'd say strange things. But to this day, he still hadn't figured out what they meant. He could only try to memorize them, hoping to figure them out one day.
Sometimes, he would feel that Cheng Hui was very alienated from the world, as if... he was watching the whole world coldly by himself.
Whenever that happens, he especially wants to hold the person in his arms and tell him that he still has him.
pity……
"Aqiu?"
"I'm here." Lin Qingqiu laughed at himself, not expecting that he would be distracted sometimes. "Sorry, I was distracted. What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little nervous walking down this corridor all the time, so why don't we just chat?"
"Okay, what do you want to talk about?" Lin Qingqiu smiled unconsciously.
Cheng Hui thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we talk about how you controlled my body just now?"
Lin Qingqiu: ...
I said I don’t know either, do you believe it?
Lin Qingqiu suddenly felt a headache. To be honest, if he were Cheng Hui, he would definitely not believe it, but the problem was... he really didn't know how he controlled Cheng Hui's body.
When he saw Cheng Hui being attacked by the enemy, the only thought that flashed through his mind was to save him. As for other things, there was nothing else.
Cheng Hui thought about it after hearing this.
He felt that Aqiu's statement was more credible. At that time, he also saw the weasel that attacked him. He was frantically dodging and calling for help in his mind, but his body could not keep up.
Wait...help?
A light bulb went off in his head. He was asking for help, and Aqiu wanted to save himself. Could it be that their thoughts were synchronized at that time, so Aqiu was able to control his body?
After he mentioned this idea, Aqiu also became interested. After all, in this dangerous place, if Aqiu could really control his body for him, then he would undoubtedly have a very powerful trump card.
The two began to discuss and try things out, and in this deep and dark passage, there was a bit of warmth.
It turns out that when it comes to skills, if you try a few times, they will generally work.
As the two of them continued to work together, they soon discovered that there were two ways to let Aqiu control his body.
The first one is that Aqiu makes a request and Cheng Hui subjectively agrees, so it can be controlled.
The second option is that Cheng Hui takes the initiative to send out a distress signal, and Aqiu responds, which is also acceptable.
Moreover, at any time, once Cheng Hui wants to control the body, Aqiu's consciousness will be immediately expelled. In other words, this kind of body control is simply to find a life-saving tool for Cheng Hui, and there is almost no possibility of taking over the body.
"Slow down, there's something going on ahead." Just when Cheng Hui was feeling complacent about having grabbed a golden thigh, the golden thigh suddenly spoke.
Cheng Hui immediately stopped, held his breath, and hid himself in the shadows. If you didn't look carefully, no one would be able to tell that there was a person hiding there.
He waited for a while and found that the sound in front seemed to have disappeared, so he walked out again and approached cautiously.
Not far ahead, it seemed like someone was worshiping something.
