spirit walker

Chapter 231 Narrow escape and enlightenment

The face of the paper figurine was dull and lifeless, and the two bright red spots in the pale eye sockets were staring at the bottom of the bed.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing's heart twitched violently, fine goose bumps protruded from his arms, and a long-lost fear welled up in his heart.

This kind of fear is not simply the fear of crisis, but more of human's fear of grotesque horror elements.

For example, after watching a horror movie, I dare not go out to go to the bathroom, and I have to cover my head with a quilt when sleeping.

Yes, Zhang Yuanqing was scared out of his childhood fear by the paper figurine.

I have never encountered such a situation since I became a night traveler,

The "Night Tour" skill is elusive and omnipotent. He has used skills to restrain the enemies of Night Tour before, but this is the first time he has directly seen through the ghosts of Night Tour.

Yes, Zhang Yuanqing was very sure that the paper piercer had seen him.

He was terrified in his heart, but he acted without any hesitation. He rolled away from the bottom of the bed, grabbed into the void, grabbed the burst pistol, and calmly pulled the trigger.

The paper figurine has a substance, and it can be destroyed if it has a substance. A pistol that shoots from a long distance is the most suitable.

According to the introduction of the properties of the rouge box, the wraith can only possess the things that have been smeared with rouge. If the possessed objects are destroyed, it should be able to "solve" the paper figurine.

Give it a try!
"Bang bang bang~"

Flames spewed out from the muzzle of the gun, and the dark red bullets criss-crossed and hit the paper figurine, but the bullets did not explode, but there was a slight boiling sound of "Puff".

Like a soldering iron in a swamp.

A deep and rich yin energy rose around the paper figurine, and when the bullet hit it, the kinetic energy was dissipated, the flame was extinguished, and disappeared into nothingness.

Zhang Yuanqing's pupils dilated slightly with the almost substantive Yin Qi.

This is definitely not the power that a vengeful spirit in the extraordinary stage can possess.

"bang bang bang"

Zhang Yuanqing maintained his shooting posture, allowing the bullets to penetrate the yin energy intensively, splashing a dark red shimmer, and making a boiling sound of "poof".

At the same time, two dim red lights appeared in the dark room.

Da da, da da.
The red dancing shoes fell one after the other, walking in place.

Zhang Yuanqing immediately issued an order to hunt down the paper figurine.

"Da da da"

The red dancing shoes rushed out at top speed, stepping on the face of the paper figurine ruthlessly and accurately.

The dense yin qi swayed violently, like the surface of a lake being stirred up.

The face of the paper figurine was intact, and the red dancing shoes could not penetrate the yin energy around it.

But the red dancing shoes did not give up, and launched an attack tirelessly.

In the face of this level of wraiths, the output of the red dancing shoes is not enough. Zhang Yuanqing is not surprised. He is very clear about the limit of the red dancing shoes. Summoning it is purely to interfere with the wraiths and increase the pressure on the enemy.

Zhang Yuanqing went through his props and methods quickly, first thought of the red hijab, and then gave up immediately, the ghost bride's yin energy was much worse than the paper figurine in front of him.

And he didn't have the guts to fight the paper man in close quarters.

The deadly kick of the rear soil boots can kick out the power of a saint, and it shouldn't be difficult to use it to destroy the paper figurine. Zhang Yuanqing grabbed the rear soil boots without hesitation and threw them to the No. [-] dead man beside him.

Dead Man No. [-] put his feet into the boots and finished dressing, while Zhang Yuanqing himself put on the yin and yang robe.

thump thump. Dead Man No. [-] sprinted heavily, and when he was approaching the paper piercing, the boot on his right foot lit up with a thick, solid yellow light.

The muscles in his right leg suddenly swelled, splitting the leg of his trousers.

Snapped!
The whip leg drew afterimages in the air, and the drawn paper shattered like a reflection, and the strength of the legs set off a gust of wind in the room.

The paper pierced man is gone, and the shadow created by the illusion was kicked by the dead man No. [-]. This kind of ghost art is most handy when performed by the resentful spirit.

Da da da. The red dancing shoes suddenly ran towards the owner.

behind me? !Zhang Yuanqing's heart trembled.

At the same time, a paper man with a pale face and smeared with bright red rouge appeared behind him, raised his stiff arms, and grabbed the back of the human's neck.

Before the crude paper-stitched palms could be touched, a cold breath rushed in first, and a thin layer of frost condensed on Zhang Yuanqing's back and neck.

"boom!"

He raised the muzzle of his gun and shot Dead One in the chest.

The bullet burst and the flames flashed.

With a sound of "Huh", a crimson flame surged up, engulfing Zhang Yuanqing's body, and the flame from the explosive bullet, just about to be extinguished, suddenly swelled and condensed into a figure wearing a yin-yang magic robe.

He put on the yin and yang magic robe, not to use the water and fire formation, but to use the fire master's fire action and the water ghost's ability to transform water to entangle with the paper figurine.

The water and fire clone ignores physical attacks, but cannot ignore damage at the spirit level.

Facing a powerful vengeful spirit, it is a very stupid act to deploy a magic robe array, because the spirit body is divided into two, which is quite self-defeating martial arts, and will be instantly killed by the powerful vengeful spirit.

When dealing with ghost dolls, the main reason is that the number is not enough, and the clones come together, and as long as the number reaches the standard, the ghost dolls cannot attack.

But paper dolls are different.

Flame rose from the palm of Zhang Yuanqing's palm, and he pressed it to the back of his neck. His face twisted immediately, the corners of his mouth twitched, his stamina sizzled, and blue smoke rose.

Hiss, this yin energy can "freeze" my flesh and blood to death. If caught by it, Ye Youshen would not be able to hold Zhang Yuanqing to disperse the yin energy with flames, and kept pulling the trigger with his other hand.

At the same time, communicating with the brand mark in the sea of ​​consciousness, the spirit body is divided into two, entering the Yin Corpse, and launching a heavy and powerful sprint.

Zhang Yuanqing stopped shooting, put his finger into his trouser pocket, and pressed one of the buttons on the Elvis speaker.

Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!
The deafening drums reverberate in the room, bringing a huge sense of oppression, shaking the spirit, and making people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

The paper man's body trembled, then froze.

thump thud thump, Dead One approached with heavy steps, the boot on his right foot lit up like a solid yellow light.

From the fight just now, Zhang Yuanqing found that the paper figurine was very afraid of the "deadly kick" of the rear earth boots, after all, this kick could reach the level of a saint.

Therefore, he quickly made a plan to deter the paper figurine as a wraith with the sound of the drum from the Elvis Presley speaker.

As soon as the muscles in the right leg of the deceased became thicker, he was about to kick out the whip leg.

Suddenly, two touches of blood in the paper man's eye sockets suddenly lit up, congealing into two twisted and weird incantations.

Bewitching eyes! !
Too bad Zhang Yuanqing, who looked directly at the mantra through the perspective of the corpse, sank in his heart. The next moment, his will was completely confused, his thoughts were like a mess, and he lost the ability to think calmly.

The yin energy surrounding the paper figurine swelled, and there was a continuous "click", and the thin ice shell condensed on the surface of the dead man No. [-], and quickly moved away, turning into an ice sculpture in an instant.

Then, the paper figurine tilted its head ninety degrees and looked at Zhang Yuanqing who was behind Yin Corpse. Its figure disappeared immediately and appeared behind the only human in the room.

The rough arm made of paper was raised and grabbed the back of Zhang Yuanqing's neck.

The Yin Qi in the room suddenly swayed, and at the back of the neck, a spiral-shaped invisible cyclone was stimulated.

Large streams of blood were sucked away by the cyclone and poured into the paper man's body. Its pale face actually showed a bit of human rosiness.

Under strong stimulation, Zhang Yuanqing broke free from the influence of the bewitching eyes, and immediately felt his limbs stiff and numb, his body was frozen by the terrible Yin Qi, and he could barely move his fingers.

In a few breaths, Zhang Yuanqing's skin lost its luster, became dry and dull, and then, a little bit of fine wrinkles climbed up the corners of the eyes and forehead, and the nasolabial folds deepened and aggravated
He suddenly aged 20 years.

Zhang Yuanqing desperately issued an attack command to the Yin corpse, but Dead One was in a frozen state, his joints, flesh and blood were frozen and numb, unable to support his master.

The attempt failed, the paper figurine couldn't win, and the difference in strength was too great. Zhang Yuanqing was pessimistic and desperate to find that the plan to forcefully push the small boss by strength was not realistic.

Even if he had so many props and matched so many tactics, he still couldn't defeat the paper figurine.

Then he could only use the crouching pestle. Zhang Yuanqing didn't want to use this tool unless he had to. Drinking poison to quench thirst could not solve the problem, but now he had no choice. Drinking poison to quench thirst could at least live a little longer.

Feeling the weakness and exhaustion in his bones, Zhang Yuanqing put all his eggs in one basket, gathered the last bit of strength, slowly put his fingers into his trouser pocket with trembling fingers, and planned to turn on the suona of the Elvis speaker.

He wanted to use this to make this body shine and recover a certain amount of strength, so that after taking out the crouching pestle, he would have the strength to attack the paper figurine.

Fingers poked in and pressed against the Suona button. At this moment, a question suddenly flashed in Zhang Yuanqing's mind, how did the Demon Lord defeat it?

The level of the paper figurine obviously does not belong to the extraordinary stage. No matter how strong the devil king is, as a casual cultivator, his overall strength in the extraordinary stage is not necessarily stronger than me. Even I have no hope. How can he pass this level?
In the blink of an eye, fragments of information in the dungeon quickly flashed through Zhang Yuanqing's mind.

Finally, two important pieces of information were screened out:
One: On the night Mr. Xu bought the rouge box, the paper figurine only killed Mr. Xu, and the villagers next door were not harmed.

Two: Wraiths have a strong desire for blood, and only by sacrificing enough blood can appease it.

I understand, the rouge box can only kill one person a night, or the blood of one person can satisfy it, after the blood of the target is sucked dry, it will not kill again, so only Mr. Xu died that day, this is a single person In the dungeon, for a spiritual practitioner, killing only one person is equivalent to certain death. Zhang Yuanqing let go of the finger on the button of the suona sound, and instead grabbed it in mid-air.

He took out a glass test tube, which contained a clear golden liquid.

The mouth of the test tube was sealed with a cork, and the exuberant breath of life was firmly sealed in the test tube.

Life essence!

A figure that seemed real or illusory floated out of Zhang Yuanqing's physical body, wrapped in a glass test tube, and rushed towards No. [-] Dead Man.

This illusory figure is exactly Zhang Yuanqing's spiritual body, and he escaped from his body by using fugue.

Zhang Yuanqing planned to take a gamble and allow his body to be drained of essence and blood. After "killing" the paper man, would he leave satisfied, or would he continue to attack Dead One?

If it's the former, then he won the bet. If it's the latter, his spirit will immediately use the life essence to save his body, and then summon the crouching pestle to die with this wraith.

He dared to bet that, on the one hand, he had the life essence in his hand, and on the other hand, after performing fugue, the physical body would enter a state of suspended animation, and the spirit body would return within 10 minutes, and the physical body would have the hope of being rescued.

So I am not afraid of being sucked dry.

Zhang Yuanqing was not even afraid that the paper figurine would attack his spirit body first, because the item information of Blood Rouge mentioned that the paper figurine only had a desire for blood. Although Dead One was a femininity, at least it had the breath of "life".

It's never the turn of the spirit body to face the crisis.

Taking a step back, if the paper figurine really attacked him in the spirit state, then Zhang Yuanqing had another move, which was to immediately return to the physical body, let the red shoes activate the second form, and take him away.

In terms of escaping and dodging, Emperor Hongwu was not weaker than others in his life.

At this time, the body has shriveled rapidly, the cheeks are sunken, and the skin is full of wrinkles due to lack of water, and it is gradually transforming into a mummy.

Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but hold his breath (psychologically). He didn't know if the Demon Lord had used a similar method, but this was the only way he figured out based on the dungeon information to break the situation.

One person and one spirit watched nervously. Only the red dancing shoes were unconvinced and continued to attack the paper figurine. Even, because of the death of the master's body, it became angry.

Finally, the body was completely turned into a mummy, and the majestic Yuanshi Tianzun died at the hands of the resentful spirit.

The rouge on the face of the paper figurine who had sucked blood became more and more vivid.

"Pa-ta~" it let go of its rough and simple hands, allowing the shriveled corpse to fall down.

The paper figurine turned its head and neck stiffly, and looked at No. [-] Dead Man.

After about ten seconds of silence, the paper figurine walked towards the door with a stiff goose step amidst the soft "rustle".

It stopped killing.

The red dancing shoes followed like a shadow, persistently chasing and killing the paper figurines.

I bet right, lift it. Zhang Yuanqing stopped it from its never-ending pursuit.

Seeing the feet in embroidered shoes stepping over the threshold and stepping into the darkness step by step, Zhang Yuanqing, who was in a spiritual state, still tensed up and did not let down his vigilance.

After about 5 minutes, there was silence inside and outside the house, and there was no movement in the dense darkness.

No, there is movement.

The red dancing shoes wandered around the room, sometimes stopping beside the meat, sometimes stopping beside the spirit body, and a message appeared above it:
【Would you like to dance with me.】

But it doesn't know whether to demand payment from the dead body, or to seek payment from the spirit who cannot dance.

It's the first time this kind of bug has been encountered.

It should be gone. Zhang Yuanqing finally couldn't wait to float towards the body, pulled out the cork with a bang, pried open the stiff jaw of the body, and directly inserted the test tube deep into his throat.

This is because the physical body cannot swallow.

After all the life liquid in the test tube had entered the stomach pouch of the flesh, Zhang Yuanqing pulled it out with another "boo".

In a short time, the withered skin gradually became fuller, and the flesh and blood supported the loose skin. Every second, the fleshy body became fuller.

This process lasted for more than ten seconds, and the skin was not only completely restored, but also more supple and smooth, as if reborn.

But no breathing, no heartbeat.

When the spirit body of the night tour god leaves the body, the physical body is like this, which is the state of suspended animation.

Only then did Zhang Yuanqing truly feel relieved, and threw himself into his physical body.

The next second, the physical body opened his eyes, his pupils stared at the roof laxly, and then quickly contracted. He gasped heavily, like a drowning person recovering his heartbeat.

At this time, Dead One completely expelled the Yin Qi in his body, and his joints became sensitive again.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

"It's too difficult. This frankly can't be an A-level dungeon. I don't want to do anything. I want to take a break. No one can disturb me!" Zhang Yuanqing greedily took a breath of fresh air.

Then, he heard a brisk "da da" sound echoing in his ears.

You are an exception. Zhang Yuanqing's expression froze, and he got up silently.

After dancing with the red shoes, Zhang Yuanqing sat down on the edge of the bed. This was not for rest, but sitting was more conducive to thinking.

Although he managed to escape from the crisis of the paper figurine, Zhang Yuanqing didn't feel the slightest joy because he already realized that something was wrong.

"Is this an A-level dungeon? This is even more brutal than an S-level dungeon. The paper doll in the second watch made me almost run out of cards. What about the boss in the third watch? Where's the princess?"

The difficulty level of Aphasia Village is completely beyond the category of A level.

Even in the S class, it's probably the most vicious echelon.

This is obviously unreasonable.

Zhang Yuanqing frowned deeply:
"This dungeon is weird. There must be something wrong. Before the third watch, I must find out the problem, otherwise I will die."

Taking a deep breath and calming down, he replayed all the details after entering the dungeon.

The dialogue with Wang Xiaoer, the dialogue with the old man, the communication with the Elvis speaker, and the details of what I have seen and heard.

Time passed slowly, and during the review over and over again, he vaguely grasped something, but it was not clear enough.

Zhang Yuanqing was not in a hurry. After grasping the vague thought, he took out a few small blue pills from his trouser pocket and held them in his palm. Then, he recalled his father's remains in his mind.

His brain power was slowly boiling, his heart began to beat overloaded, and he quickly entered the "ultra-brain" state, messy memory fragments flashed quickly, and his ears were full of meaningless noises.

The nasal cavity became hot, and bright red blood flowed out.

Zhang Yuanqing swallowed the pill immediately to calm down these negative states.

Then, since entering the dungeon, all the pictures have been played back frame by frame, the texture of the stone house, the direction of the dry grass on the roadside, in every detail, and I rehearsed it in my mind again.

"Some time ago, I met a wandering Taoist priest. He said that the back mountain is a treasure land of geomantic omen, and there must be a big tomb in the mountain."

"Villager Wang Xiaoer stole the funeral objects and planned to enter the provincial capital to sell them to wealthy families. Unexpectedly, she came out that night."

"At the fourth watch, the whole village died."

"The location of the ancient tomb is 23 miles southwest of Houshan."

"Run, run away~"

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly woke up and exited the "playback" state. His eyes widened and he was enlightened.

"I understand the real gameplay of this dungeon"
