Heaven's Formula

"Is it... dead?" Wei Wushuang stepped forward and asked.

"Dead? It didn't live at all, okay?" Wang Renzhi gave him a blank look, "This thing is just reorganized and driven by Qi. If the hostility is strong enough, some evil spirits can come back again and again, such as the Great Desolation Demon Night. But hell... it's just such a chance."

"Where did this abyss ghost come from?" Shangguan Cai suddenly asked.

"What do you mean?" Young Master Wang looked at her puzzled.

"Don't you know? The biggest difference between ghosts and other evil spirits is that they are transformed from corpses. In other words——" She shifted her gaze to Yuangui, "This thing used to be a person."

"Uh, who knows..." Wang Renzhi was a little stuck, "And its origin is not important at all, is it?"

Zhang Shenping looked at Shangguan Cai unexpectedly for a while before taking up the topic, "That's right, the mission of the alchemist in the Privy Council is to eliminate evil spirits, and it doesn't matter where it comes from. For example, this abyssal ghost, maybe It may be a certain medicine farmer who went up to the mountain to collect and lost his way accidentally, or it may be a hunter who fell into the valley and died after many geniuses. Knowing these will not stop ghosts from harming people, you just need to wipe them out."

"That's what I mean," Wang Renzhi coughed twice, "Let's go, we can sleep well when we go back now."

It seems that Li doesn't need to play tonight.

Xia Fan waved his hand towards the dark place as a greeting to her, then turned and walked towards the door.

But what made him a little strange was that although there were several people walking in front, no one pushed open the closed hall door, as if everyone was waiting for him.

If only Wei Wushuang and Luo Youer could understand, when did the others become so united?

He subconsciously quickened his pace, and at the same time, he saw that Wei Wushuang seemed to be trying his best to turn around, staring at him with big eyes, as if urging him.

Wait, is that a urging look?

With the help of flickering candles, Xia Fan seemed to see bloodshot eyes in his eyes—how impatient does it take to be so anxious?

Wei Wushuang in his impression was not such a person.

Xia Fan could not help but stop.

At this moment, an abnormal situation appeared without warning—he found that the lowered front foot could not be retracted, as if he had been nailed to the spot.Soon, this strange feeling spread throughout his body, and he suddenly realized that it wasn't just his feet, but he had lost control of his body!

Is this an illusion?

No... No, he was being targeted by something.

And not only him, everyone present was like this, so that after the vision happened, no one turned around or issued a warning—because when they noticed the problem, they could no longer open their mouths to make a sound.

Under the dim light of the fire, a figure with a height of two meters appeared in front of Xia Fan little by little.

Chapter 59 Nosedive

Hold.

Xia Fan's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

At first glance, it looked like a half-squatting kangaroo, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, with a huge bag on its abdomen.But when you look at the head, you know that this thing is definitely not kind-it has several faces, as if someone deliberately stitched multiple bloody faces together, and those faces have different expressions, some screaming in pain, and some Ferocious glaring.And it can be discerned from the vaguely visible eyebrows, eyes, lips and nose that these faces all come from women.

A rag robe with a hood concealed the rest of the details of the uninvited guest, until it stretched out its arm, Xia Fan didn't notice that there were no five fingers on it, but a sharp bone scythe.

It simply raises its arms and swings them down.

Standing in the front row, Zhang Shenpan's head flew up silently.

The pumped blood formed a thin fountain, and the familiar rusty smell poured into Xia Fan's nostrils.

Until then, the leader's body slowly went limp.

He just... died?

Huge danger signals sounded frantically in his mind, but no matter how Xia Fan struggled, his body remained motionless.

The monster took two steps forward slowly, and raised its hand towards Yue Feng.

At this moment, there was a crisp sound of "bang" from behind all the beings, and a bronze candlestick suddenly fell to the ground, and the two candles on it were thrown out, spinning and rolling towards the door.

The change in firelight caused the shadows to disperse.

Almost at the same moment, Xia Fan felt that he regained control of his body!

Even because of too much force, he almost fell backwards.

Others also moved, and the hall was filled with chaotic shouts for a moment.

"There's another ghost!"

"Go to the fire!"

"Don't step on the shadows under your feet!"

In just a short moment, everyone realized that this thing can imprison living creatures through darkness!

The fallen candle went out.

The monster did not chase after the crowd who dispersed, but moved straight towards the center of the hall.When it bent down, picked up the remaining corpse of the Yuan ghost, and slowly put it into the skin pouch of its abdomen, Xia Fan felt an extremely ominous premonition in his heart.

Then it raised its head and roared, it was an extremely sharp female voice, the pitch was so high that it seemed to pierce the eardrums!

And others didn't stand still.

Yue Feng was the first to launch a counterattack - he held several talismans in each hand and threw them at the female ghost in turn.Those talisman papers flew halfway and turned into rapid air currents, shooting directly at the target like arrows flying from the string.

Shangguan Cai followed closely behind, but what she used was not alchemy, but gold and iron weapons.It was the first time Xia Fan saw her pull out the two short sticks at her waist, spin them together to form a long spear, and fly towards the monster. Her moves were also fierce and fierce, and the attack was as impenetrable as a storm.

The female ghost quickly retreated while blocking the attack with her two sickle-like long arms.

The attempts of the two were by no means ineffective, Yue Feng's long-range shot opened several gaps in its body, and Shangguan Cai's long spear even shattered the corner of the bone scythe.

Seeing that the two were about to succeed, the female ghost had already stepped into the dark place, and the huge figure suddenly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, as if it was just an illusion.

"It ran away?"

"No, look behind!" Xia Fan suddenly reminded.

Due to the angle of view, he happened to notice that the shadow behind Luo You'er had changed, and the dark place that was originally empty seemed to bulge like a tulle—that was the robe that the monster swung open!

It suddenly rushed out of the darkness and slashed towards Luo You'er. The latter could barely dodge the fatal blow, but couldn't dodge the next sweep.

The monster waved his hand and sent the little girl flying——

"Luo Youer!"

"Miss You'er!"

Both Wei Wushuang and Wang Renzhi wanted to rush over to save them, but they were stopped by Yue Feng.

"Looking for death in the dark? Come back to me!"

Probably this loud roar caught the female ghost's attention, it turned its head and pounced on Yue Feng in the same way, and Yue Feng just pulled out the wooden sword at this moment, blocking the opponent's attack in place.

"Hmph, it's not that easy to kill me!" The veins on his forehead bulged, and the muscles in his arms bulged like hills. Under the competition of pure strength, he actually pushed back the pair of bone scythes little by little.

Xia Fan also took out a "copper wire pendant", ready to take this opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the monster.

However, something unexpected happened. The pocket in the female ghost's abdomen suddenly opened, and the Yuan ghost that should have been eliminated poked its head out again.

The hearts of everyone who witnessed this scene suddenly became cold.

Yue Feng was even more so. He panicked and wanted to retreat, but Yuan Gui's two arms had already sprung out quickly, grabbing his wrist tightly.

Without giving anyone time to react, half of his body was quickly dragged into the bag—although the bag was wide enough, it was not deep enough to accommodate an adult male.After stuffing most of it, blood gushed out from the mouth of the bag, staining the female ghost's chest red. At the same time, there were crackling sounds of bones breaking, and screams from her peers!

Wang Renzhi was obviously frightened by this scene. He wanted to stay away from the evil with a pale face, but he tripped himself to the ground before taking a few steps, and fell heavily in front of Xia Fan, even one of his shoes flew out.

Not only that, he also knocked down the candlestick beside Xia Fan.

The light of the fire suddenly dimmed a lot, and part of the expanded shadow happened to cover one of Wang Renzhi's hands.

He was terrified and wanted to get up, but found that his body could not move!

And the shoe that fell in front of him has become a new container.

Wang Renzhi clearly saw a face without a nose protruding from it little by little.

He cast his begging eyes on Xia Fan.

Xia Fan knew in his heart that if he did nothing at this time, no one would blame him for Wang Renzhi's death afterwards. In this case, even self-protection is difficult, so how can he care about others?

What's more, this guy's mouth is also quite annoying.

It's just... the character is bad, the other party is far from being damned.

Xia Fan didn't hesitate too much, and kicked him out of the dark area with a kick in his waist.At the same time, he also rolled to the side on the spot, quickly opening the distance from the shoes.

Sure enough, the next second the female ghost appeared where they were originally, as if there was no distance between the two walls of the room.If he hadn't withdrawn quickly, Xia Fan would inevitably follow in the footsteps of the victims.

Everyone's complexion is extremely ugly.An unrestricted Abyss is tough enough to deal with, let alone an unknown Pocket Ghost, and the two seem to be mutually exclusive, making it even worse for an already depleted team .

What's worse, their range of activities was limited to a ten-foot-square area in the center of the hall, and the swaying shadows around them were like a dangerous moat, once they set foot there, they might suffer catastrophe.In addition, if one candlestick is upside down, one will be missing. Sooner or later, this temporarily safe place will be engulfed by darkness.

They must make countermeasures as soon as possible!

Chapter 60 Doubles

In fact, there are not many choices before the four of them.

Either use the leaving technique to clear the way, artificially create flames, and try to rush out of the mansion.

Or set the whole house on fire, forcing the ghost to confront them head-on in the blaze.

But both methods have great disadvantages.

No one knows whether Zhang Shenpan has lifted the formation at the last moment, it restricts not only the evil spirits, but also the alchemists who draw qi into the body.If the formation is still there, everyone who adopts the first method will immediately fall into a dilemma. Even if the formation can be successfully broken, it is equivalent to opening a path for monsters to wreak havoc.

The second method has no retreat at all. Although the fire can bring light, it will also create billowing smoke-indoor battles are completely different from the city wall defense battles in Qingshan Town. Once the hot smoke cannot dissipate quickly, it will be fatal Definitely not much lower than Xie Chong.They must destroy the evil spirits before the fire engulfs the house, but how much the alchemist can maintain in the fire is also a question.

In addition, no matter which method is used, it will be difficult to take into account Luo You'er whose life and death are unknown.If she gives up at this point, the possibility of her surviving is zero.

Wei Wushuang looked at Xia Fan involuntarily - in his impression, this fellow countryman always had endless ideas, even if the situation was desperate, he could always find an unexpected way.

However, this look made half of his soul fly out.

The place where Xia Fan was originally standing was empty at this moment!

There was clearly a fire shining, but he didn't hear any sound or exclamation. How could such a big fellow countryman suddenly disappear?

"It's over, it's over..." Wei Wushuang felt his legs tremble.

Sure enough, he shouldn't have obeyed his father's words and took the Qingshan Town Scholars Examination.

"It's time like this, can you shut up!" Wang Renzhi's voice was shaking like a sieve, "Aren't you the only one who is afraid?"

"Xia Fan, he's gone!"

"What did you say?" He looked back abruptly, then looked at Wei Wushuang with a pale face, "It's over, it's over..."

"Concentrate on me!" Only Shangguancai remained expressionless, she raised the tip of her spear slightly, and aimed at the monster approaching them, "If you don't want to die, hold on to your swords, it's coming!"

And before counting interest...

While Xia Fan was thinking hard about a countermeasure, he suddenly noticed a slight breathing sound coming from behind him. Before he could react, a hand covered his mouth.

But at this moment, his tense body relaxed again, and let the comer drag him silently into the darkness.

Because he recognized the owner of this hand.

"Why can you move freely in the shadows?"

After releasing his hand, he lowered his voice and asked puzzledly.

Li Na's familiar voice sounded softly, "This evil spirit can't control all the darkness, otherwise, wouldn't it be able to easily destroy a city at night? If you use this mansion as an example, as long as you are always in front of it position, it will not be affected by its power."

It means... a control area of ​​five to six meters.Xia Fan couldn't help feeling a little lucky. Fortunately, they chose the largest nearby mansion as the ambush location. If it was an ordinary private house, everyone would be trapped in a cage the moment it showed up.

"But it can travel between darkness and darkness at will."

"That's right, that's the chaotic nature of the blood crow. The darkness you see is actually the dirty blood flowing from it. If it is stained by blood, it can only be slaughtered by it."

Blood Raven?Xia Fan read it silently... Sure enough, Li knew more than him.

"That is to say, it is impossible to avoid its pursuit just by thinking about running away."

"Not necessarily," Li's voice was so close that he could almost feel the heat blowing past his ears, "At least you are safe now."

"Safe?" Xia Fan was stunned.

"Behind you is the compound, and the so-called formation is essentially a restriction formed by using Qi. You can use stronger techniques to break it. If you don't want to waste materials, I can help you." Li stuck to him Back said, "After piercing the wall and formation together, you can leave from the backyard."

This is similar to the first method he envisioned, except that more things are discarded.

"Doesn't this monster have a weakness?"

"If it were my master, the blood crow might not be difficult to deal with, but it is really too much for you." Li stretched out his fingers to Xie Chong's arms, "You should have noticed that the part that was injured before has basically recovered now. ——In other words, darkness can heal its wounds, if you can't kill it in the shortest time, you must be the one who dies."

"What's more, this is the first time I have seen such a blood crow. It stands to reason that it is impossible for it to be so close to the ghost of the abyss. There is also a bag on the belly, which seems to be specially made for each other. You have to deal with two evil spirits at the same time. Ghost, the danger will only be higher."
