The strange story of Huai'an Inn

Behind the raven, dark figures poured out from behind the heavy stone door of the Cthulhu Temple.The Tiangu soldiers held heavy knives and axes and rough but extremely strong shields in their hands, and their eyes condensed the wildness and killing intent trained in the perilous mountains and fields.From the gaps of all the twisted buildings in all directions, and even on the steep walls, water ghosts rushed out like dark sea water, drowning from all directions like a piece of dark ink.

Zhu Helan saw the battle and knew that they were far short of manpower.What's more, now it is obvious that the water ghost and Tianguren are in a cooperative relationship. Dagon has appeared before, so Hydra, another more powerful mother goddess of the water ghost, may also appear...

These two demigod-like monsters plus Crow, even if he, Song Mingzi and Daoist Qi Yao teamed up, they might not be opponents.

but……

Zhu Helan looked across the abyss in front of him and landed on Chong Wu who was still unconscious, and then looked at Sang Ya.

Sang Ya seems to want to use Chong Wu as a threat, that is to say, Chong Liu is not in his hands.

Zhu Helan calmed down a little, he turned his head and shouted to everyone, "Everyone retreat! Song Mingzi, protect the barrier!"

Daoist Qi Yao drew out his sword, and suddenly jumped up into the air, a golden sword light suddenly shot up.Where the sword light passed, an invisible wall of dao qi quickly formed, surrounding a group of people who did not know the law and filthy law.Song Mingzi slanted his long ax and walked to Zhu Helan's side, with an unruly smile on his lips, "If you are alone, where will our alchemists lose face?"

Daoist Qi Yao also landed on the other side of Zhu Helan after setting up the barrier, and the remaining disciples of the Qingming Sect also stood behind with their swords.Facing the black mass of men and horses behind Crow, the monsters crawling out of the abyss, and the army of water ghosts gushing out from the shadows of abandoned buildings, the few people seemed weak, but with a kind of Awe-inspiring and inviolable spirit.

Crow looked at them with a sneer, his hands stretched out from his sleeves, each holding a copper drumstick carved with curling patterns.He raised the double hammers above his head, crossed the handles of the hammers and hit them hard, and chanted a long and far-reaching mantra.Accompanied by the sound of singing, the foul air in the void behind him quickly condensed, as if solidified into a solid form out of thin air.At first, it was only a little black, like an embryo, which rapidly multiplied and grew up, and differentiated into skin, flesh and bones.It's just that the flesh is inside, the bones are outside, and all incompatible materials are tightly stitched together by countless fibers.Zhu Helan saw the shadows of many distorted people, as if they were tightly glued together by an invisible force, and disappeared in the next moment.

A huge vertical drum, with many legs of different shapes growing underneath, appeared behind the wizard like a silver moon.Its drumhead is spliced ​​with thousands of pieces of skin, without a single gap.The bulging waist, which had been sucked full of human blood, was bright red, filled with a fleshy, mucous membrane-like moist luster.

Thousands of Drums, a mysterious gift left by the God of Chaos to innocent people, a living drum that can open the door to madness.Its huge shadow spread across the abyss, and it was chilling to see it in person.

The wizard turned around, and the drumstick hit the drum smoothly and made a loud bang.In an instant, all the water ghosts and monsters in the abyss hissed deafeningly and rushed out towards them.

And Zhu Helan pulled off the hairpin made of locust tree branches from his head, and pierced it into the ground.Immediately, the pure and surging filthy air exploded, rolling up his flying hair and the crimson wide-sleeved robe, forming a circular vortex and surging around.The moment the locust tree branch fell into the ground, the roots immediately spread out in all directions, rushing unstoppably to the deepest underground, spreading to the end of Qiongji Island.The part on the ground rushed to the sky, and the thick and thick tree body was mixed with flesh, tendons, organs and wood, fused together in an indistinguishable way.It poured down high in the sky, and countless twisting branches covered the sky and the sun, like a giant umbrella spread over the temple.Countless phyllocarpus bloomed on the branches, and the acidic mucus fell like a drizzle.

Those rushing water ghosts and underground monsters hadn't had time to get close, and they were blown away by the huge branches that swept across the air, just like black masses of ants being swept away by a broom.The water ghosts and monsters contaminated by the locust tree quickly burst into blisters, their scales peeled off and their skin liquefied, and some of them scattered into a puddle of water before they even landed.

The branches of the locust tree weaved a long bridge over the abyss. Song Mingzi and Qi Yao immediately led all the alchemists across the abyss on the long bridge to pounce on the mulberry crow.Seeing this, Sang Ya beat the drum twice again, and Tian Guren behind him suddenly roared like a beast, and rushed towards several alchemists.

The pure radiance of the alchemists was quickly swallowed up by the crowd, but the clear and holy radiance occasionally pushed the crowd away, but they were soon surrounded again.

The branches of the locust tree were swept down again, Song Mingzi and others opened the way forward.At the same time, Zhu Helan ran towards Chongwu, trying to rescue him.

But when he was still a few steps away from Chong Wu, a drumbeat sounded, and Chong Wu's eyes suddenly opened.

Immediately afterwards, tentacles filled with murderous intent attacked Zhu Helan, and the sharp poisonous needle even scratched Zhu Helan's clothes.

He stepped back immediately, only to see Zhong Wu hanging in the air in the tentacles all over the sky, his eyes were empty.The drums kept beating, with a strange rhythm.Accompanied by the sound of the drum, Chong Wu's tentacles once again set up an attacking posture, like a scattered net.

Chong Wu was controlled by Crow...

Zhu Helan frowned and looked at Sang Ya.He knew that Crow was stalling for time, he seemed to be waiting for something...

He firmly guarded the gate of the temple, not letting them in... Could it be that Liu'er was inside?Or is the innocent performing some forbidden ritual?

Zhu Helan became more and more irritable, so she had to release all the filth in her body to completely deform her body.The red mist once again engulfed all the scenery on the other side of the abyss, covering everything like a sudden storm.In the red mist, countless red vines burst out.He tried to restrain Chong Wu, trying to penetrate the opponent's mind with his tentacles to wake him up.However, Chong Wu's fighting power is not weak at all, and at this time, he is merciless under the control of Sang Ya, which is extremely difficult to deal with.

"Heavy five! Wake up!" Zhu Helan tried to convey his thoughts, but the only response was the tentacles that kept trying to strangle him.

The red mist surged in, confusing Chong Wu's perception.Zhu Helan took the opportunity to poke a few vines towards Chong Wu's forehead.

Suddenly, there was a terrifying roar that shook the ground, like the earth cracking and the mountains collapsing, reminiscent of the terrifying sound of the end of the world.

Zhu Helan raised his head, only to see a gigantic monster covering half of the sky appeared in the sparkling light in the sky.

The people in the middle protected by the magic circle also raised their heads, their eyes widened in fear, their whole bodies were stiffened by fear, and they couldn't even make a sound.They couldn't be sure what they saw at first, because the solidified black shadow also separated some long and narrow shadows across the sky.But as the first head broke through the surface of the sea, looking down at the land with indifferent, only primitive brutality and hungry greed, they realized that those long strips were nine necks.And at the end of each neck is a nightmarish head.

Each of those heads is as huge as a hill, like a fish but not a fish, like a snake but not a snake.The wet skin, covered with scales and tumors but harder than any steel, was covered with coral and limestone as thick as Dagon.There is no emotion in the cloudy white eyes, not even malice, but it is even more frightening.

The moment they saw its true face, many sailors fainted directly, and two of them were completely stunned, muttering something in their mouths, their minds already crushed by fear.Liu Sheng and Xu Hanke also turned pale with fear, and raised their heads helplessly, unable to even make a gesture of resistance.

Only Mr. Xuanwu sighed, "Hydra, the mother of water ghosts...I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to see it with my own eyes in this life."

Nine heads hung upside down from the sky, lazily opening their foul-smelling mouths.

Immediately afterwards, highly toxic and fiery acid sprayed down like a violent storm.It avoids all the water ghosts, but it doesn't care about Tianguren and those underground monsters crawling out of the ground.The people and monsters that were splashed by the acid instantly melted like wax, and flesh-colored slime flowed across the ground.

The magic circle was impacted by the surging waves, and the golden light became more and more dazzling, and it was on the verge of falling.Without this magic circle, everyone including Mr. Xu Hanke and Liu Shengxuanwu would have the same fate as those innocent people who were unfortunately sprayed.

The question is how long can their magic circle last?

Two alchemists were hit by Hydra's venom, one died immediately, and the other was more unfortunate, only half of his body was sprayed.So half of his cheekbones melted, and his brains spilled out.He writhed and twitched on the ground in pain, and suddenly his neck was cut off by a sword light, and the screaming finally stopped.

The sword light came from the pale-faced Daoist Qi Yao.

The rest of the disciples were already so frightened that they wanted to retreat and lost their positions.Song Mingzi swept the long axe and forced several Tiangu fighters back, leaning on the back of Daoist Qi Yao and said, "Let's retreat! This is simply unbearable!"

Daoist Qi Yao nodded, knowing that they had no choice but to retreat back under the cover of the locust tree branches.

Zhu Helan tried several times but couldn't pull Chong Wu out of the magic barrier of the mulberry drum.Just when he was about to retreat with Chong Wu, who was struggling non-stop, suddenly a darkness that swallowed everything hit him.

That kind of darkness is more like nothingness.Able to dispel the nothingness that devours all.No light can escape.

Zhu Helan felt that her filth was being quickly sucked and swallowed, and her whole body was being pulled towards the darkness.He had no choice but to let go of his hand and backed away, only to see the raven suddenly appear in the dark cloud of smoke.

"Mother Priest, you have done a good job." Crow's voice came from behind the mask with an evil smile, "The gods should be satisfied with so many high-quality sacrifices."

Zhu Helan said coldly, "What exactly do you want? A book of extreme poverty?"

Sang Ya laughed loudly, "Don't you understand yet? You and I have found the Book of Poor Extremes long ago. If you have a book, you can know everything, control the mysteries of Taoism, and open the entrance to the world of uncleanness."

"What about heavy six?"

"He... is in a place that neither you nor I can reach." As soon as Sang Ya raised his hand, the dark breath wrapped around the motionless body of Chong Wu beside him, hissing like a snake, "This One...hasn't been destroyed? Tsk tsk, it's very close, but it's not the final finished product."

"Don't hurt him." Zhu Helan's bright red hair flaunted behind her, dancing threateningly.

"What? Do you want even defective products? It seems that you really like to collect these...garbage." Sang Ya looked critically at Chong Wu.

Zhu Helan sneered, "Trash? Haven't you been called that before?"

Crow fell silent, but the darkness that permeated his body became thicker.His tone changed, becoming gloomy and full of threats, "Mother Priest, don't forget which side you should be on. Stop me several times, and the gods are watching your behavior. Don't forget your own final destination .”

"You want to open the door here?" Zhu Helan tried to make his voice calm and emotionless.

Crow said, "Not bad."

Zhu Helan, "Using the Poor Book? What role is Liu'er playing? What are you waiting for?"

"I'm waiting for your Liu'er." Sang Ya smiled viciously, "But, when he appears again, I'm afraid it won't be the 'Liu'er' you knew."
