A moment later, the monster, missing a hand, roared. The thick white mist around it immediately surged toward it, and soon the mist formed a new hand. The monster picked up the spiked club with its new hand. Perhaps having lost track of its prey, it angrily slammed the club into the ground several times.
The difference in their physical size was too great. Mo Shuwan was almost weightless to the humanoid monster, which made things easier for her. However, the tough hairs were quite troublesome, and she had already been scratched in several places.
Hope was quite well-behaved, not making a sound as Mo Shuwan quietly climbed up.
At this moment, Chen Jiaxu, who had received guidance from Mo Shuwan, mustered up his courage and pushed open the palace door. Before the eerie songs began to play, he had already plugged his ears with earplugs, trying to avoid them, because even if he knew what was going to happen, he could not guarantee that he would not be afraid.
"Little one, look here! I have a string of candied hawthorns here, with red eyes, white eyes, a small eye with a hole in it, red ears, white ears, and a big ear with a piece missing..."
The earplugs had no effect; the eerie chants clearly reached his ears, and Chen Jiaxu's heart pounded faster and faster. He tried his best to ignore the chants and slowly walked forward with a white scroll in his hand.
"Hey sir, wanna eat some candied hawthorn?"
Chen Jiaxu's eyes widened suddenly, his legs went weak, and he screamed in his heart: What's going on? The captain didn't say there would be such a thing!
"Hey sir, my candied hawthorns are delicious! Want a skewer?"
Chen Jiaxu didn't want to find the owner of the voice, but for some reason, his body couldn't control him. He was forced to turn to the side and saw a little girl in a dress standing at the boundary between darkness and light, holding a string of candied hawthorns in her hand.
"Big brother, look at me!" The little girl leaned forward excitedly, and the candied hawthorn skewer in her hand gleamed in the light.
"Ah!!!" Chen Jiaxu screamed, his body went limp and he stumbled back a few steps.
"Hey bro, here, have this candied hawthorn."
The little girl, holding a candied hawthorn, stepped out of the darkness and happily approached Chen Jiaxu. In that instant, Chen Jiaxu was certain that he saw several pairs of eyes that appeared and disappeared in the darkness, those eyes filled with malice.
They want to eat me!
Chen Jiaxu scrambled to his feet in terror, abruptly throwing away the white scroll in his hand. Trembling, he used a sharp weapon to cut his finger and drew a strange symbol on the back of his hand.
The water element in the air suddenly surged wildly towards Chen Jiaxu. The little girl in the dress suddenly became shrill, while Chen Jiaxu, panting heavily, ran wildly towards the gate at the end. The white scroll he had thrown out, enveloped by the water element, instantly transformed into a person exactly like Chen Jiaxu.
The difference is that Chen Jiaxu is made of flesh and blood, while this guy who looks exactly like him, like a clone, is just a water element clone summoned with his blood. It is not very strong in combat, but it has excellent defense and knows how to protect its master.
If used properly, they would definitely be a formidable fighting force.
However, Chen Jiaxu, who was terrified by the candied hawthorn, only wanted to escape. He had just realized that what was on the candied hawthorn was not hawthorn or anything like that, but eyeballs, bloodshot eyeballs that looked like they had died!
Panting heavily, Chen Jiaxu finally approached the gate. His eyes lit up with joy, thinking that he would be safe for the time being once the gate was opened. However, just a few steps away from the gate, a slender hand reached out from the ground and grabbed his ankle.
"Little brother, why won't you eat my candied hawthorn? Don't you like it? How about I give you some soup instead?"
Chen Jiaxu gasped and instinctively tried to dodge, but because both his feet were grabbed, he fell to the ground as he tried to dodge.
The little girl, who looked like a paper doll, giggled and grabbed Chen Jiaxu's ankles, trying to drag him into the darkness.
The water elemental being who looked exactly like Chen Jiaxu devoutly performed his duties, and Chen Jiaxu was rescued by the water elemental being.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Fear will only lead to trouble! Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Having escaped danger, Chen Jiaxu finally managed to calm down. He looked at the little girl who was being blocked by the water elemental, gritted his teeth, and rushed forward. "You monster, you want to deceive me, you want to use me as a scapegoat, don't even think about it!"
By shouting to bolster his courage, Chen Jiaxu felt that his fear had indeed subsided somewhat. Thinking of how his heart had stopped from fright just now, he became even angrier. With this anger and the help of the water elemental, he finally managed to kill the little girl.
The sharp cries finally subsided, and Chen Jiaxu fell to the ground, cautiously peering into the darkness. He wondered how many monsters were still lurking there. He knew he was fortunate to have known the key to the exit beforehand, which was why these monsters hadn't rushed out directly.
"Am I safe now?"
Despite the continuous singing around them, no monsters rushed over. Chen Jiaxu waited for about five minutes and felt that he was really safe before he prepared to send a message to Mo Shuwan to let her know that he was safe. However, a message popped up saying that the message could not be sent.
The member you are trying to contact is currently in a difficult situation and cannot be reached.
Chen Jiaxu stared blankly at the prompt for a moment, then a wave of shame washed over him. He had already sat down to rest, but now he couldn't help but stand up. "No, I have to kill more monsters before the water elementals disappear, otherwise I'll always have to rely on the captain and the others for help."
Wanting to do his part, Chen Jiaxu hesitated for a few seconds before taking a deep breath and resolutely leading the water elemental into the darkness. He didn't dare to actually go in, but stood at the boundary between light and darkness, using his sharp weapons to attack the monsters hidden in the shadows.
At this moment, all the passengers are struggling against the monster. The passengers in the separated spaces are all struggling to survive. Some succeed, while others end in a miserable defeat.
Each time Mo Shuwan climbed a certain distance, she would place a card on the monster. By the time she stood on the monster's shoulder, there were no fewer than twenty cards on it. She found the right spot, pulled back the bowstring sharply, and pulled it back more than ten times. Finally, an arrow shot into the monster's eye, and blood flowed down.
"roar!!!"
Sure enough, the monster's weakness was in its eyes. Mo Shuwan breathed a sigh of relief and activated all the cards at the same time. The monster was instantly surrounded by flames, even the spot where Mo Shuwan was lying was engulfed in flames, but these flames did not harm her.
She had already considered that the monster could use the white mist to regenerate itself, so the only way to destroy it was probably to make it irreversible. If a person was burned to ashes, could they still recover?
