Mortal Mirror

"Shhh..."

Li Ergou whispered softly.

He pointed to the bright area and said, "Keep your voice down, don't let anyone find us. We don't know who's inside. Let's go take a look."

Zhu Zhu nodded, not refusing. After all, this was their only way out. If there was someone there, it would prove there must be a way out.

As the two peered around, they didn't know that at the edge of the pit they had just fallen into, a black shadow appeared. It was the thing that had jumped out of Zhao Tuozi's bamboo basket.

This creature was covered in smooth, jet-black fur, without a single stray hair. Its eyes, emitting a green glow, even contained an aura of evil.

"Meow..." It turned out to be a black cat standing as tall as a person.

It sniffed at the pit, its eyes flashing with complex light. After a moment, it meowed again and jumped off the edge of the pit without hesitation. Its figure was like a ghost, easily landing at the bottom of the pit in just a few movements.

It came to the entrance of the cave that Li Ergou had entered and walked in. It quickly disappeared into the darkness. No one knew what it had discovered that would make it come in here.

Li Ergou nervously approached the cave entrance. Soon, he saw that the tunnel opened into a huge cave.

Inside the cave, a fire was burning. Beside the fire, a figure dressed in a tattered Taoist robe was kneeling on the ground, his head lowered, muttering something.

His eyes flashed with a crazy light, and he held a stone pestle in his hand, a sinister smile on his lips.

Li Ergou and Zhu Zhu's eyes simultaneously turned to the stone mortar in front of the Taoist, because it was far away, the firelight was not very bright, and because of the angle, they couldn't see what was in the stone mortar.

But at that moment, a chubby little hand suddenly stretched out from the stone mortar, and the unique gurgling sound of an infant came from inside.

Li Ergou suddenly remembered what Big White Elephant had said. It seemed that babies had been disappearing in the town these days. Damn it, it turned out they were all stolen by this guy. No, what is he trying to do?

At that moment, the Taoist raised the stone pestle and smashed it down on the baby below. Without thinking, if this hit, the baby would definitely turn into mincemeat.

Zhu Zhu seemed to have thought of that scene too, and shouted, "Don't!"

Hearing this, Li Ergou knew he couldn't hide any longer. After all, a human life was at stake. He was also very angry. At this moment, he didn't think about the safety of the two of them. He moved very fast, jumped out of the tunnel, and snatched the stone pestle from the Taoist while he was stunned.

The Taoist was surprised to see the two of them come out.

Li Ergou and Zhu Zhu looked over and saw that there was indeed a baby in the stone mortar. At that moment, the baby was crying loudly. If they had been any later, it would have turned into a pile of flesh and blood.

Beside the Taoist, there was a pile of skulls arranged in the shape of a pyramid. Roughly looking at it, there were no less than a hundred. Judging from the size of the skulls, they should all be babies.

At this moment, the two of them were very angry. This was a very cruel and evil Taoist.

The Taoist calmed down. Seeing that the two were just ordinary mortals, his face showed anger. He narrowed his eyes, looked at Li Ergou and Zhu Zhu, and said in a sharp voice, "You little bastards, you don't take the road to heaven, but you break into hell.

You ruined my good deed. Now that you have seen everything, you must not leave.

I will break your legs and make you a blood slave. This girl is beautiful, so she can be my maid.

Hehehe, when I'm done playing with her, I can sell her to Tianxiang Tower and get a lot of money."

Hearing such humiliating words, Zhu Zhu couldn't help but be furious and said, "Shut up, you are presumptuous, you evil heretic. I think you are tired of living, Ergou, kill him."

Ergou was speechless, thinking that this guy was a Shinto cultivator, although he was a heretic, he was not someone the two of them could deal with.

He said with a bitter face, "I don't know martial arts, I only know how to be beaten."

Zhu Zhu stared wide-eyed and said, "You don't even know three-legged cat kung fu."

Li Ergou said, "I only know a few tricks, but I have never tried them, and I don't know if they work."

Zhu Zhu was angry at his uselessness. No wonder this guy was in the martial arts gym, being chased by her, but he didn't dare to resist. After all this time, he didn't learn anything, he only learned how to be beaten. She was angry in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.

She could only say, "A reckless man can defeat a master. Put me down, and let's just do it."

Li Ergou was instigated by Zhu Zhu, thinking that there was probably no other way at this moment. If it really didn't work, he would unexpectedly and unpreparedly use his martial arts true energy to bombard him. However, he hadn't experimented with it, and he didn't know how much power the martial arts true energy could bring, and whether the lethality was enough.

Moreover, he only had one chance. If he couldn't grasp it, he would definitely die.

And this evil Taoist, he didn't know what powerful methods he had.

Helplessly, there was no other way at this moment. He untied the rope, put Zhu Zhu down, and said, "You stinky Taoist, I will uphold justice today and kill you, you evil Taoist."

The Taoist was not flustered and said, "Hehe, I, Zhang Baisui, can't seek death. If you can kill me and let me be free, it will also be a good thing. Come on, kid, let me see how strong you really are."

Ergou was aggressive and rushed up like a hungry dog pouncing on food. In fact, he really knew a little bit. After all, he had never eaten pork, but he had seen pigs run. He usually mixed in the martial arts gym and learned by watching.

In addition, Stone had also taught him a few tricks, but when he used those moves, they looked a lot uglier. After all, he had too little experience in attacking. If he said he was beaten, he claimed to be second, and no one dared to say he was first.

Li Ergou was rigid and dogmatic, learning from those boxers, punching in a rigid manner. His fists were strong, but his posture was ugly and clumsy, making Zhu Zhu almost vomit blood, thinking that this guy was really stupid and clumsy.

She really wanted to take action herself, but her calf was broken, and she couldn't even stand steadily at the moment. How could she fight? She could only be anxious in her heart.

Li Ergou was also depressed. He punched and kicked a few times, but he didn't even touch the Taoist's hair. Although he had some strength, this Taoist was not a sandbag after all, standing there waiting for him to hit him.

In this way, it would be useless for him to risk using his martial arts true energy. He was anxious in his heart, but it was in vain.

At this moment, Li Ergou became anxious and didn't follow the routine to punch, but punched randomly, like a village shrew fighting. Although it was ugly, he could really hit the Taoist a few times from time to time. In the chaos, his clothes were also torn by him.

Looking at the Taoist's face, he was angry, snorted coldly, and found an opportunity to punch Li Ergou's waist.

The waist is one of the more vulnerable parts of the human body. This person's movements were fast and fierce. Li Ergou only felt a dark force enter his body, followed by a piercing pain.

Even Li Ergou couldn't bear this kind of pain. He screamed and was knocked away, rolling on the ground in pain.

Zhu Zhu was dumbfounded, angry in her heart, lamenting that Ergou was too useless.

Zhang Baisui chuckled and said, "You little brat, with just this little bit of strength, you dare to run wild here. This Taoist is going to refine you into a human pill today and eat it, so as to increase my cultivation."
