The demigod Setsuna fired a burst of bullets at the gatekeeper beast's blood-red eyes.
The gatekeeper beast suddenly jumped up, dodged the bullet, and landed on the square, staring at Li Xiu and the others from the left and right with a fierce look.
When Li Xiu was riding on the pink nightmare and wanted to rush forward again, the red light in the eyes of the gatekeeper beast suddenly shone brightly, and the blood-red light spots in the entire temple suddenly became several times denser. The dense red light spots were like dense raindrops suspended in the air, blocking the sight of Li Xiu and others, making them unable to see the surrounding scenery clearly. The figure of the gatekeeper beast also disappeared strangely among the dense red dots, as if it had become invisible.
Chu Jun waved the white lotus behind Li Xiu, burning the nearby red spots into ashes, allowing them to temporarily restore some visual space.
But there was no sign of the gatekeepers, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.
The demigod Setsuna and the Jedi Knight protected the pink nightmare on the left and right, but they could not find any trace of the guardian beast.
Suddenly, Li Xiu felt something was wrong. The light energy on his body surged and the Fire Lotus Sword swept out.
With a clang, the Fire Lotus Sword hit something, making a sharp sound like metal cutting.
Then Li Xiu saw a gatekeeper beast emitting red light all over its body rushing towards him. After being hit by the Fire Lotus Sword, a wound was cut on its body. Its body jumped to the side, fell into the red light spot, and immediately disappeared.
The blood that spilled from its wounds turned into a large number of red spots of light. After meeting the air, they immediately expanded and spread out densely, like a swarm of bees leaving their nest.
Before Li Xiu could see clearly, the sound of wind came from the side. He had no time to control the demigod Setsuna and the Jedi Knight. Li Xiu had to swing the Fire Lotus Sword again and slash in the direction of the wind.
Another gatekeeper beast covered in red light pounced from the side, pressed down the Fire Lotus Sword that Li Xiu had slashed out with its claws, and directly knocked the two people off the back of the Pink Nightmare.
The blood-red claw pressed the Fire Lotus Sword and pressed Li Xiu to the ground. The mouth, with blood-red spots constantly oozing out of it, and with a mouth full of red fangs, was about to bite Li Xiu's throat.
Bang!
The demigod's precise shot hit the gatekeeper beast. Feeling the pain, the gatekeeper beast turned around and disappeared into the red light.
The two gatekeeper beasts were like two ghosts hidden in the ocean of red light spots, constantly pouncing out from the ocean of red light spots and attacking Li Xiu and the others.
Chu Jun waved the white lotus to disperse the red light spots nearby as much as possible, so that Li Xiu and the others would not be completely swallowed up by the ocean of blood-colored light spots.
With each breath, a lot of blood-colored spots were sucked into his body. Li Xiu felt his eyes were a little hot and swollen.
Not only Li Xiu, the pink nightmare's eyes also glowed with abnormal blood, making it look extremely irritable. It was screaming and jumping around, and the horn on its head was emitting strong light.
This situation was not found in the Jedi Knight and the demigod Setsuna. When Li Xiu glanced at Chu Jun, he did not find anything unusual in his eyes.
Li Xiu knew that he could not delay any longer and had to get rid of the two gatekeeper beasts as soon as possible.
However, the two gatekeeper beasts seemed to be invisible under the cover of the red light spots. What made it even more difficult to deal with was that they only made noises when attacking Li Xiu and his team. At other times, no sound of their movement could be heard, making it impossible to determine where they were.
Suddenly, the demigod Shanna fired in one direction. The blue bullet passed through the blood-red light spot and seemed to hit something. With a roar, a gatekeeper beast was hit by the demigod Shanna. It screamed in pain and rolled into the blood-red light spot and disappeared.
Bang bang! The demigod Setsuna fired continuously while rushing over there. Although he did not hit the target again, Li Xiu had discovered that the demigod Setsuna could see the position of the gatekeeper beast.
It’s just a little strange that the demigod Setsuna seems to be able to only see one of the gatekeeper beasts, and has no reaction to the other one.
Li Xiu immediately thought of the bullet that the demigod Setsuna had shot at one of the gatekeeper beasts, while the other gatekeeper beast was not hit by the bullet that the demigod Setsuna had shot.
It is very likely that the gatekeeper beast that the demigod Setsuna locked onto was the one that was hit by the bullet.
While Li Xiu was thinking, another gatekeeper beast seemed to have discovered an opportunity. It jumped out from the bloody light spot and bit his throat while Li Xiu was off guard.
Li Xiu suddenly leaned back, but his legs seemed to be nailed to the ground. The moment the gatekeeper beast pounced over his body, the Fire Lotus Sword in his hand burst into a strange red and blue light, and directly cut the gatekeeper beast in half with one sword.
Like a torrential rain, blood-red spots poured out from the gatekeeper beast's wounds, soaking Li Xiu all over.
The body of the gatekeeper beast that was cut into two pieces fell to the ground and turned into a red light spot and disappeared. After a moment, the red light spot surged and turned into a complete gatekeeper beast in another place.
"Damn, is this guy immortal?" Chu Jun rushed over and used the white lotus to burn all the bloody spots on Li Xiu's body into ashes.
At the same time, Chu Jun placed the white lotus on Li Xiu's head, allowing Li Xiu to bathe in the light of the white lotus. Li Xiu immediately felt that his swollen eyes felt much better, and there seemed to be a cool feeling flowing into his eyes.
The blood-red spots of light around could not get close because of the flames on the white lotus.
Li Xiu protected Chu Jun behind him, and there was a wall behind Chu Jun, so he didn't have to worry about being attacked by the gatekeeper beast.
The pink nightmare and the useless Jedi Knight had been taken back by Li Xiu, leaving only the demigod Setsuna fighting with another gatekeeper beast in the sea of blood-red light.
Li Xiu held the sword in both hands, calmly waiting for the next attack from the gatekeeper beast. Although he could hear nothing and see nothing, he could feel that the other gatekeeper beast was staring at him and waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Suddenly, ripples appeared in the ocean of red light spots in the sky. Li Xiu's eyes focused, and he suddenly took a step forward, slashing wildly with the Fire Lotus Sword in his hand.
The gatekeeper beast, which had not yet jumped out of the blood-red light spot, was split into two halves by Li Xiu's sword.
But after its body fell, it condensed into a complete gatekeeper beast again.
Li Xiu rushed forward with a white lotus on his head. The red spots of light around him were instantly burned to ashes. The gatekeeper beast that had just taken shape was beheaded by Li Xiu with a sword.
The corpse of the gatekeeper beast once again turned into a large number of blood-red light spots that gathered together. Li Xiu took off the white lotus on his head and threw it into the place where the blood-red light spots gathered.
The flame on the white lotus seemed to have encountered gasoline and it suddenly shot up into the sky, with crackling sounds constantly exploding in the flame.
After a moment, all the blood-colored spots were burned to ashes. The gatekeeper beast did not appear again. Only a shining object fell out and was directly grabbed by Li Xiu.
Li Xiu was overjoyed and grabbed the white lotus and rushed towards the demigod Shanshan. The gatekeeper beast that was locked by the demigod Shanshan had been chased by the demigod Shanshan.
However, even the power of the demigod Shanshan was not enough to kill it completely, and the thing was resurrected again and again in the ocean of blood-colored light spots.
Li Xiu rushed over, seized the opportunity, and threw the white lotus into the blood-red light spots that were gathering on the body. There was another crackling sound, and the gatekeeper beast was burned to ashes by the white lotus. It also dropped something, which was also collected by Li Xiu.
After the two gatekeeper beasts died, the blood-colored light spots in the air became less active, as if they had lost their vitality. They were suspended in the air, and the red light was slowly fading.
"Mr. Chu, I'm lucky to have you, the white lotus..." Li Xiu took the white lotus and burned the red light spots in the sky into ashes, then returned to Mr. Chu.
Chu Jun was still leaning against the wall.
When Li Xiu saw his appearance clearly, his face suddenly changed. Chu Jun's eyes were as red as blood, emitting a strange bloody light. The blood vessels on his body were bulging, and they were coiled under his skin like small snakes emitting red light.
Chu Jun covered his shoulder with one hand, and blood with a bloody glow was flowing out of it.
"Are you injured?" Li Xiu was shocked and quickly placed the white lotus on Chu Jun's wound.
However, the light of the white lotus not only burned the red light in the blood, but also evaporated the blood.
"It's useless. I was injured by the claws of that thing. Those virus-like blood-colored light spots and evil spirits have filled my blood... Using white lotus to remove the virus evil spirits in the blood will not work... Then burn my blood together..." Chu Jun said with difficulty.
Li Xiu suddenly remembered that when the gatekeeper beast pounced them off the pink nightmare, its claws should have injured Chu Jun. Li Xiu did not notice it at that time, but now he thought that Chu Jun should have been injured at that time.
If he had used the power of the white lotus to expel the virus before it spread in his blood, he would still have had a chance.
But Chu Jun actually put the white lotus on his body, which helped to clear the evil spirit virus in his body and kill the gatekeeper beast, delaying the best time for treatment, which allowed the evil spirit virus to invade the blood throughout his body.
"Are you a fucking idiot?" Li Xiu cursed angrily.
Chu Jun smiled bitterly and said, "I thought I could do it. The White Lotus is my symbiotic bond. I shared its light energy. I originally thought that I could resist and eliminate the invading virus spirits. Who knew that after the distance between the White Lotus and me was far away, the light energy on my body became weaker and weaker..."
"Why didn't you call me?" Li Xiu felt extremely regretful. He shouldn't have taken Bai Lian away from Chu Jun.
"I've never been separated from Bai Lian before, so how would I know that such a thing would happen?" The bloodshot in Chu Jun's eyes grew deeper and deeper, and his expression became more and more ferocious. He seemed to have lost control of his emotions. The corners of his mouth grinned unconsciously, like a wild beast baring its teeth.
Red spots of light continued to seep out from the corners of his mouth.
"Li Xiu, it seems that I can't do it anymore. Our dream can only be entrusted to you. Don't give up no matter what..." Chu Jun said, his expression became more and more ferocious, bloody blood vessels spread under the skin, and his face was covered with strange blood lines.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Li Xiu had changed. He was breathing heavily, showing his teeth, as if he was ready to pounce on Li Xiu and bite his throat at any time.
The flame on the white lotus crackled, burning the blood-colored spots that overflowed from Chu Jun's body, but the flame became weaker and weaker.
Li Xiu's brain was working rapidly, thinking of all possible ways to save Chu Jun.
The Jedi Knights and the demigod Setsuna were not affected, but the Pink Nightmare was, which means that they had something that could immunize them against these viral demons.
It is understandable that demigods are of high quality and can be immune to military service. Jedi Knights are of low quality but can still be immune to military service. Their common feature is that they have been parasitized by evil.
It is very likely that evil can restrain and immunize these virus demons.
But Xie had already been swallowed by them, and Li Xiu did not have a third Xie to provide to Chu Jun. Even if he did, Xie was something that the human body could not withstand.
This method doesn't work.
Li Xiu thought that there were also evil spirits parasitizing his body, but after he inhaled the virus-like evil spirits, he was not immune like the Jedi Knights. This meant that the evil spirits parasitizing his body were not evil ones, and they might not be of any help to Chu Jun. Even if they were helpful, he couldn't dig them out.
"What should we do? Is there any other method?" Li Xiu saw Chu Jun's eyes shining, his teeth bared, and his body lying on the ground like a wild beast. He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.
Suddenly, Li Xiu thought of the folk song that the conservative old man had sung before.
"A white dog barks...two black dogs bark..." Li Xiu thought of the two gatekeepers. Don’t they look like two black dogs?
If the two black dogs refer to the two gatekeepers, then what are the white dogs?
Li Xiu had felt that the song sung by the old security guard was a little strange before, and now that he recalled it, it seemed even stranger.
Li Xiu has no other choice now. He wants to give it a try as long as there is a slight possibility.
"White dog...what is a white dog..." Li Xiu looked around but did not find anything that could be called a white dog.
He remembered that the lyrics seemed to be about looking for a white dog, and that the white dog was different from the black dog and seemed to represent the good side. There were also lyrics like "Where is my white dog?"
His memory would not be wrong, but he did not think so much at the time. When the two entered the trial gate, the old security guard had not finished singing the song, so Li Xiu did not hear where the white dog was.
Li Xiu quickly searched the entire temple again, but apart from the gatekeeper beasts, there were no other statues, murals, carvings or the like. Where was the white dog?
The blood moon in the sky has returned to normal, and those blood-colored spots have dimmed to the point where they are almost invisible.
But Chu Jun was like a demonized vicious dog, crawling on all fours, with bloodshot eyes and blood spots at the corners of his mouth, and crawling towards Li Xiu little by little.
"The black dog is a gatekeeper in the main hall. We came in from the left courtyard. Could the white dog be in the right courtyard?" Li Xiu didn't care about much else now and rushed directly to the right courtyard. Chu Jun behind him let out a howl and rushed after Li Xiu with a fierce look in his eyes.
Li Xiu kicked open the door of the right courtyard, put on a gentleman's hat, held the Fire Lotus Sword in his hand, and rushed in with light energy blooming on his body.
There is no time to explore slowly now. Chu Jun has become like this. Even if we find the white dog now, we don’t know if Chu Jun can recover. We can’t waste any more time.
After rushing into the right courtyard, he summoned the demigod Setsuna and the Jedi Knight to protect him, and then he closed the door and blocked Chu Jun who was flying towards him.
Then Li Xiu looked around the right courtyard and found that it also had a layout of a courtyard and a hall.
The yard was clean. No bodies were found, no red spots were found, and there was no white dog either.
Li Xiu gritted his teeth and asked the Jedi to block the hospital gate. He took the demigod Setsuna to the temple gate and reached out to push it open.
But after pushing it, I found that the door of the temple was locked and could not be opened.
Li Xiu had an idea and took out the golden key, but the golden key was much bigger than the keyhole. Li Xiu didn't care and just poked it in.
After the golden key touched the keyhole, it automatically shrank to the appropriate size and then was inserted into it.
Li Xiu twisted it hard, and the lock opened with a click, and the door of the temple was pushed open directly by Li Xiu.
There is also a statue in the right hall, which is almost identical to the statue in the left hall, except for a slightly different posture. However, it can be seen that they are based on the same demon spirit.
The difference is that there is an altar in front of the statue, and on the altar there is a lamp. Unlike the bronze lamp that Li Xiu had seen before, this is a white jade lamp, carved from mutton-fat white jade, and it is shaped like a squatting white dog. On the head of the white dog jade lamp, a white flame is burning.
"Found it." Li Xiu was overjoyed, but did not reach out to take it. Instead, he turned and ran to the courtyard gate, opened the door, and let Chu Jun, who was barking like a wild beast outside, in.
As soon as Chu Jun entered the room, he rushed towards Li Xiu. Li Xiu turned around and ran into the right hall, leading Chu Jun over.
Li Xiu stopped in front of the altar, blocked the white dog jade lamp with his body, and stood with his back to Chu Jun.
Chu Jun pounced on him without hesitation. When he was about to pounce on Li Xiu's back, Li Xiu simply turned sideways to avoid Chu Jun's attack. Chu Jun pounced sideways towards the table.
Li Xiu took advantage of the situation and pressed Chu Jun on his back, pressing Chu Jun's body directly onto the altar, causing him to touch the White Dog Jade Lamp.
As soon as Chu Jun's body touched the White Dog Jade Lamp, the flame immediately surged and burned towards Chu Jun.
In an instant, Chu Jun's body was like being covered with gasoline and encountering fire. All of a sudden, his whole body was wrapped in white flames and he turned into a fire man.
The white lotus that had been floating beside Chu Jun actually returned to his body automatically.
Li Xiu looked at Chu Jun, whose body was burning with flames, and muttered to himself: "Master, please don't cheat us!"
After the white flame burned on Chu Jun for a while, it gradually seeped into his body.
Only then did Li Xiu see that Chu Jun's body was not burned by the white flames. His consciousness seemed to have recovered a lot, and the blood in his eyes was slowly fading away.
Soon, Chu Jun seemed to regain consciousness. He looked at his body in confusion. After a moment, he said in surprise: "What happened? Why didn't I die? And I was promoted to D-level, and Bai Lian was promoted to a level, with an additional talent skill."
"That's good." Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and finally had the mood to look at the things he had picked up before.
