It is always said that the period before dawn is the darkest hour.However, until now, I have not really realized what the darkest moment is.

The fire that Xing Shoulang and I set up outside the temple gate was extinguished by the wind, and the sudden loss of light plunged my vision into darkness.

I couldn't hear anything with my ears, for the temple bells still echoed through the forest, drowning out the small rustling sounds.

Then I felt my hand was being held by someone.

It should be a person, because the thing holding my hand is warm and soft.And because ghosts hide in the shadows all year round and eat people and drink blood, in addition to the stench, their body temperature is also ice-cold.

But this person is not Purgatory Kyojuro.

I am very familiar with Xing Shoulang's hands, especially when I was doing barbecue before, I also noticed his hands.Unlike my hands, his hands are full of thick calluses, which are caused by years of practicing swords.And this hand was (supposed?) soft and smooth, almost exactly like mine.

As for why I don't have cocoons... It's not because of the habit of applying hand cream developed by the masters, the Bing Xin Jue mental method, and the physical problems of this life.So there is not a single callus on my hand, but it will not be worn out after holding the sword for a long time.

So my skin is already this thick?

While I was thinking wildly, I followed the direction led by the thing that grabbed my hand.

Until I smelled a strong smell of blood, and my forward foot seemed to kick something.

The thing rolled on the ground for a short distance, and then I couldn't hear it rubbing against the weeds anymore.After two seconds, I heard a "plop".

That's when I realized that my eyes still hadn't recovered their dark-adapted vision, in short, I couldn't see.And not far in front of me is a cliff. Although there may be liquid under the cliff, it may be a river, but it is more likely to be a ghost trap.

It seems that he thought that he could kill me accurately. The thing that was pulling me away let go of my wrist. Before letting go, he deliberately pulled my hand forward, as if signaling that I would continue to move forward. It's the same as walking forward.

But I could tell that the thing was actually slipping away in the direction behind me.

It seems to have killed many people by this method, so I didn't even see if I would continue to walk until I stepped on the air and fell off the cliff, and just left.

It thinks I won't escape such an end either.

I stood there without moving, just waited for half a minute.Half a minute after it left, my vision returned.

Before my eyes was a huge pit, not the cliff I imagined.The blood in the pit is already quite deep, so when that piece of thing fell, it made a sound like falling into the river.And some sharp rods protruded from the blood, and some places could reflect the luster of the moon.

That is the barb hidden in the pit.

I thought that if I continued to move forward, I would fall into the pit and be pierced by these sharp thorns.

From this point of view, this ghost is different from the abnormal Bidie ghost I encountered before, and it should be the blood ghost technique that caused me to temporarily lose my sight.

So besides being blind...does this ghost have any special abilities?

I thought about it carefully, and felt that it could simulate the sound of a bell (after all, Xing Shoulang and I didn’t see the bell tower in the temple), which meant that it could also manipulate the sense of hearing, but it couldn’t do anything to my sense of hearing.I touched its warm hand, indicating that it can also change its own temperature.But it didn't make any difference to my sense of smell.

The smell of blood is still bloody, and the smell of strong stench is still strong.

In other words, this ghost's vampirism ability should roughly affect human senses, and the sense of smell should be outside its ability.In addition, judging from its speed and distance, the range of its ability is about 20 meters.

If I use the Breath of Thunder after the Butterfly Foot, I should be able to decapitate the ghost before it reacts.

I ran in the direction of the temple without hesitation, and even used Daqing Gong to determine the direction.

When I arrived, Purgatory Xingshourou was already wrestling with that ghost.His vision had obviously been deprived, and his hearing had been affected by the sound of the bell.It may be because he practiced sword all the year round and is Yan Zhu's son, so his senses are very sensitive.

Purgatory Xingshourou was fighting that ghost purely based on intuition and his own physical instincts.

But even so, the unbelievable situation of the five senses made Purgatory Xingshourou very uncomfortable, and the result of his inability to adapt in the battle was that he had been scratched by ghosts and had many deep and visible scars on his body.

He couldn't bear it any longer.

Taking advantage of the fact that the ghost's attention was on Purgatory Xingshourou, I was stuck at a distance of 20 meters and released a sword at the ghost to break the void.

The distance of 20 meters is already the farthest distance that my sword energy can reach. If I go in rashly, I may become a drag on Purgatory Xingjulang.

Even though I've been on the battlefield, I didn't have many times when I was really hostile to people. Most of the tasks Lingxuege gave me were stealing information and assassinations, as well as some other literary work.

Except for Gogoxi from the previous life, I have almost never encountered such a head-on confrontation with the enemy.What's more, Gogoxi in the previous life would not be so foolish!This is simply ticking boxes with the computer screen turned off and only relying on the sound! !Is this something that humans can do? ? ?

Then I found that Purgatory Xingshourou's movements became more accurate, and he seemed to get rid of the influence of blood ghosts.The moment I hesitated, his knife hit the ghost's neck accurately, cutting off half of the ghost's head!

Xing Shoulang only needs to use a little more strength, and the ghost's neck can be cut off by him, and he can be killed!

But Kyojuro has no strength left.When he fought with ghosts relying on instinct and intuition before, he consumed a lot of physical strength because he was not used to the situation, and coupled with the excessive blood loss caused by the ghost claws, he no longer had the strength to pass the blade into the ghost's wound. .

"Damn it...Damn it ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" the hand holding the knife was already bulging, but the blade was stuck in the ghost's neck and couldn't move at all.However, the wounded neck on the other side of the ghost has begun to heal—pink granulation sprouts from the neck cavity, slowly connecting the wound.

The inner sealing function of my sword breaking the void, it seems that it can only seal the blood ghost technique.I put a knife back on my back, exhaled gently, and then put my weight on the back heel of my front foot, and swung the knife while rushing forward!

Breath of Thunder·One Type·Thunderbolt Flash·Five consecutive!

All five of my slashes landed on the knife in Purgatory Xingshourou's hand.After five strikes of gold and iron, the knife in the hands of Purgatory Xingshourou used my strength to chop off the ghost's head.

Only then did I realize: This ghost looks so much like the Buddha statue in the temple!

"Thank you just now!" Purgatory Xingshoulang squeezed his numb hand and shook it, "But this ghost's neck is really thick hahahahahahahaha!"

"Speaking of which, what seems to be written in this ghost's eyes?" I turned the head of the ghost that hadn't completely dissipated.

The lower five is engraved in the ghost's left eye, with a big cross drawn on it.

"Huh? This is the fifth of the last string?" Purgatory Xingshoulang looked at the ghost curiously, "But this ghost doesn't seem to be as powerful as the twelve ghost moons that my father said! Although it can't see or hear at once, it's true. Disturbing! But together we beat him!"

"However, a cross was crossed on the lower five." I tilted my head, "He must have been kicked out of the Twelve Ghost Months."

"Is that so!" Purgatory Xingshoulang breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll send a letter back to ask my father!" He put the knife back into the scabbard, "Hey, Gao Yun, look! The sun has risen!"

I looked up.

The warm yellow sunlight leaped to the horizon at some point.

It's so warm.

The author has something to say: Me!TOEFL is over!Everything in my mind is poured out!

That's it for today_(:з」∠)_After that, I will resume the edge change, because I still have to take the teacher qualification certificate QAQ
