You said you could kill the evil spirits without me, why are you crying now?

Chapter 401: No direct contact, otherwise you will be assimilated without knowing it

The dim lights flickered in the night wind.
Everything around the pit was dimly reflected.
It was as if countless pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness were watching every move here.

In the pit, the two humanoid monsters that looked like they had been skinned stood upright.

Their postures are stiff and twisted,
Like a demon crawling out from the depths of hell,

He was forcibly imprisoned in this small space by some evil and mysterious force.

They raised their chins, their dark eye sockets were like two bottomless black holes.

It exudes an eerie atmosphere of deathly silence.

Blood oozed out of their eye sockets and slowly flowed down their horrible faces.

A dark red pool of blood gathered on the ground, and the bloody smell filled the air, making people want to vomit.

They stared at the people standing on the edge of the pit.
The empty gaze carries some kind of invisible curse, which makes people shudder.

Just being stared at by them like this, one feels as if one's soul is being dragged into an endless abyss of darkness.

Zheng Bolan, Zheng Xuezhen, Zheng Qifeng and Xiang Xiufang, a family of four, stood on the edge of the pit.
Witnessing this extremely horrifying scene, I felt a chill running through my bones from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.
It was like being thrown from the scorching hot summer into an extremely cold place with ice and snow in an instant.

The night wind blowing from all around has now become as cold and ruthless as an ice knife.
The cuts on their faces and bodies caused their bodies to shake violently and involuntarily.

Even Zheng Xuezhen, who is usually timid and afraid of ghosts,
She was also frightened by this horrific scene, her face turned pale, her lips turned bloodless.
My throat seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and I forgot to even scream.
He just stared with wide eyes, looking at everything in front of him in horror, his eyes full of despair and helplessness.

"The soil here wasn't like this just now..."

The person in charge of supervising the work on the construction site had a trembling voice, as if he had lost his soul due to the weird atmosphere.

His face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead.

It hit the ground beneath their feet, splashing tiny mud flowers.

His body also unconsciously took a few steps back out of fear.
I wanted to get away from the horrible pit, but my legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
Every step seemed extremely difficult.

"The soil here was just a little weird. No matter how hard we dug, we couldn't dig any deeper.
Moreover, the excavated soil is piled up nearby, but the layer of soil never decreases or lowers.

But in just a short while, it looked as if it had been soaked in blood.
And it has become so weird?"

His eyes were full of fear and confusion, and there was a hint of crying in his voice.

Goto Taiji stood aside, his face so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

His eyes slowly swept over the group of samurai and ninjas standing beside him, revealing a hint of majesty and coldness in his eyes.

"What do you think about this matter?"

His voice echoed in the silent night sky, making people feel an invisible pressure.

"There should be a lot of terrifying and strange forces lurking beneath this place."

A tall warrior with a stern face stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and spoke respectfully.

There was a hint of solemnity and alertness in his eyes.

I can already feel the evil aura hidden deep underground.

"But this also proves that our survey direction is correct.
What we seek lies beneath the land.

But now, our top priority is to resolve this strange situation.
So that the workers can continue with normal construction.”

"So can these two people be saved?"

Goto Taiji frowned slightly, and his eyes narrowed slightly through his exquisite glasses.

His eyes were fixed on the two men standing in the pit, who had become extremely strange and creepy.

There was no mercy or sympathy in his eyes.
There is only a calm and cold scrutiny in assessing the value and usability of an item.

"Looking at their appearance, it should be quite serious."

A ninja said softly, already accustomed to this horrific scene: "Because we did not sense any life fluctuations from the two of them.
Only strange forces continue to grow and spread.
Moreover, the strange power in them is gradually becoming stronger.
It has been completely eroded and controlled by the evil power."

"Then take action to get rid of them."

Goto Taiji's expression was as cold as ice in the winter.

There was no trace of fear that his companion had become so strange.

I even feel heartbroken when I find myself being killed by my own people.

In his eyes, everything is just a pawn that can be sacrificed to achieve his goal.

"Just think of them as having died in the line of duty.
At that time, generous pensions will be given to their families. "

His tone was cold and decisive, making people feel a deep chill and ruthlessness.

As soon as Goto Taiji finished speaking, several samurai and ninjas jumped into the pit without hesitation.

The warriors were strong and agile.

They quickly drew out their shining samurai swords.

The blade flashed a cold light in the dim light.

They swung and chopped at the air a few times,
Trying to use this method to dispel the fear in my heart and the strange atmosphere in the air,

At the same time, they are also preparing for the upcoming battle.

Even though their opponents are so mysterious and terrifying that they are hard to figure out.

In this pit that seems as deep as an endless abyss,

The darkness surged like thick ink, and the dead silence was like an invisible giant hand.

It tightly gripped everyone's throat.

The ninjas were like ghosts coming out of the Nine Nether Hell, their figures were light and erratic.
They leaped and shuttled rapidly between the holes,

Every leap seems to melt into the embrace of darkness,
The entire figure instantly became like thick black ink, illusory and ethereal, making it difficult to trace its whereabouts.
It was as if they had reached some kind of mysterious contract with the darkness and became a part of it.

In an instant, as the inky black figure flickered and jumped,
Rays of cold light shot out like meteors chasing the moon.

Those are the poisoned darts in the hands of the ninjas.
They carry the breath of death, like waves of dense and violent storms,
It was overwhelming and accurately pierced into the bodies of the two former companions.

And on these darts, there are some talismans emitting mysterious light.

Then, the ninjas' hands danced quickly like nimble snakes.
Forming complex and mysterious hand seals.

As the hand seals were formed, a powerful and special energy wave centered on their hands.
It spreads slowly like ripples, awakening some dormant mysterious power.

At this moment, the darts stuck in the monster's body suddenly exploded violently.
There was only a loud bang.
The deafening roar echoed back and forth in the pit.
A huge flame suddenly burst out like an angry fire beast.
The blazing flames mercilessly engulfed the two flayed monster figures in the pit.
The entire pit was illuminated with light, but the light did not bring the slightest warmth, only endless fear and despair.

Even though just now,

These two skinned monsters were actually companions who fought side by side with the White and Red Empire.
But at this critical moment of life and death, no one has the time to reminisce or hesitate.

And those warriors are like towering mountains.
Standing firmly in the raging flames and winds, without moving an inch.

They raised their extremely sharp samurai swords high in the air.

The blade flashed an icy cold light in the firelight, like the sneer on the lips of the god of death.

As the raging fire and the violent wind rushed toward them,
They were unexpectedly stopped by the invisible yet rock-hard sword energy surrounding them.

It was like hitting a barrier made of the power of heaven and earth, unable to cross it.
This powerful sword energy not only protected their own safety,

It is like an invisible but solid shield.

Guarding the terrified people standing on the edge of the pit,
Protect them from the raging fire and the merciless wind.

The entire pit shook violently under the powerful impact of the explosion.
It's like a dilapidated boat struggling in the stormy waves, in danger of being swallowed up at any time.

As the strong winds gradually subsided and the flames of the explosion slowly died down,
Everyone was finally able to see the tragic situation in the pit through the thick smoke and dust.

The two skinned monsters had obviously suffered a very heavy blow.

Their bodies were burned beyond recognition.

At the wound, black ashes and blood-red mucus kept dripping down like beads from a broken string.
The scene was like a horrific picture unfolding from the depths of hell.
It exudes a suffocating stench and smell of blood.

They looked like evil dolls carefully carved out of blood-red candles.
As the fire was completely extinguished,
Their already fragile flesh and blood could not withstand the cruel scorching heat.

There are signs of melting.
Drops of liquid with a pungent smell slowly slid down their bodies.

It was as if their tears of pain told of the endless torture and suffering.

"Good defense."

A ninja's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and admiration, and he whispered to himself. Then, without hesitation, he took out a dart from his arms again.
These darts were the same as those used before.

It still has the mysterious spell that can cause a deadly explosion.

He exerted force on his wrist and was about to throw the dart in his hand violently.
When the two monsters were dealt the final fatal blow,

But suddenly I felt that all the strength in my body was drained away by some mysterious force in an instant.

The whole person just froze in place without any warning, unable to move.
As if he was under a spell, his eyes were full of fear and confusion.

Finally, the ninja opened his eyes wide, sharp and alert like a poisonous scorpion.

Looking down at the ground,
An indescribable fear suddenly surged in his heart.

I didn't know when, the blood-red soil had quietly spread to his feet.

It swallowed up his entire foot mercilessly.

And it continued to creep upwards at a slow but creepy speed.
It was like a demon hiding in the depths of darkness, choosing its prey.
It was opening its bloody mouth, dragging him into the endless dark abyss bit by bit.

"Oh no, there's something wrong with this bloody soil, it's still attacking us!"

At the same time, some warriors noticed this extremely dangerous situation.
They shouted loudly in fear, their voices filled with despair and helplessness.

In panic, they raised their samurai swords and slashed at the ground fiercely.
Trying to rely on the sharpness of the blade in hand,
Directly cut off the connection between the bloody soil and their bodies, thus getting rid of this terrible bondage,

Escape from the brink of death.

However, as the samurai sword cuts easily into the soil,

They were horrified to find that when they tried to pull out the samurai sword,

The entire samurai sword was tightly attached to the blood-red soil.

It was as if they were being held tightly by a pair of invisible hands from hell. No matter how hard they tried,
Can't shake it even a little bit,
All he could do was watch the blood-red soil continue to spread upward along the blade.
Announcing their impending death.

In the eerie pit, the air was frozen by fear, making people suffocate.

Suddenly, the blood-red soil that seemed dead seemed to be awakened by a demon.
The riot broke out violently without any warning.

They are like a surging sea of ​​blood, rushing at a speed that leaves people no time to blink.

In an instant, all the surrounding samurai and ninjas were ruthlessly engulfed.

This all happened so fast.

So fast that it feels like it was just a momentary illusion.
But the empty space before them seemed to be announcing their disappearance in an extremely real way.

Just a moment later, when those figures appeared in everyone's sight again,

He has become exactly the same as the two terrifying companions before.

Their clothes and skin seemed to be torn off by some evil force.
All that was left was the terrifying flesh and blood tissue exposed naked to the air.

The bright blood red color is particularly dazzling in this dim pit environment.
It was like blood oozing out from the abyss of hell, and every inch of it exuded the breath of death.
Everyone who witnessed it couldn't help but feel a chill in their heart and a chill down their spine.

Their eyeballs were quietly corroded by the strange blood-colored soil.

Disappeared without a trace, leaving only two dark, bottomless eye sockets.

Blood continued to ooze out.

The blood slowly flowed down their distorted cheeks.
Drop by drop,
In the silent pit, a faint but clearly audible "tick-tick" sound was heard.

It was like a countdown to death, and every sound struck everyone's heart, making them shudder.

"You must never come into direct contact with this bloody soil, or you will be assimilated without even realizing it."

A ninja walked slowly to Goto Taiji with a serious expression, his eyes full of vigilance and worry, and reminded him.

There was no trace of joking in his tone, only deep fear of the strange situation before him.

"Humph, I can see it without you telling me!"

Goto Taiji's face turned pale and looked extremely ugly.

His eyes were bloodshot, burning with anger and anxiety.
He clenched his teeth tightly, and the muscles on his cheeks bulged slightly due to the force.
It was obvious that he was trying hard to suppress the emotions that were about to explode.

"Then what should we do next?"

Others didn't care about Goto Taiji's bad attitude.

They knew in their hearts that the latter's mood was extremely bad at the moment.

After all, it is only in the early preparation stage of land development.

I encountered such an unimaginable and difficult situation.
His capable warriors and ninjas were killed one after another.

Moreover, faced with this bizarre situation, they didn't even have the slightest idea of ​​how to solve the problem.

As the person in charge of this operation, Goto Taiji must bear a heavy responsibility.

The pressure is so great that it is enough to make anyone collapse.

Goto Taiji was silent for a long time, took a deep breath,

As if he wanted to absorb all the irritability and helplessness deep into his lungs, he slowly said: “The situation here is far beyond our capabilities.

I will report the matter truthfully to my superiors and ask them to send someone more capable to handle the matter.

You guys just stay here and don't act rashly for now.

Just keep a close eye on the movement of this bloody soil in the pit and see if it will spread outside.

If you find any signs of spread, you must report to me immediately, understand?"

After saying that, Goto Taiji turned around abruptly and left in big strides.
At the same time, he took out his cell phone from his pocket at a very fast speed.

Slide your finger quickly on the screen and press a number.

He put the phone close to his ear and disappeared from everyone's sight in a hurry.

Only a slightly embarrassed back was left behind.

"You guys can leave too."

A warrior glanced coldly at Zheng Qifeng, Xiang Xiufang and others.
His eyes were full of disdain and contempt: "The situation here is not something you mortals can interfere with. Staying here will only get in the way and cause more trouble."

"Then I'll trouble you."

Zheng Qifeng nodded and bowed quickly, his face full of gratitude and relief.

He knew in his heart that this strange and terrifying scene was beyond his understanding and ability to deal with.

Having the opportunity to escape unscathed at this moment is undoubtedly a blessing in disguise.

then,

Under the leadership of Zheng Qifeng,

The group hurriedly left this place filled with the breath of death.

All that was left was the pit filled with blood and fear, and a few samurai and ninjas who looked nervous, as if they were facing a great enemy.

When Chu He slowly returned to the iron house,

At a glance, I saw that Tamamonomae had returned safely.

She was sitting lazily on a chair, pouring herself a glass of fresh juice slowly and gracefully.

The movements were slow and calm, as if nothing unusual had happened in the outside world.
Everything is still so peaceful and calm.

Tamamonomae's face was extremely pale, without a trace of blood.
It was like a piece of thin paper that had been drained of its vitality, exuding a sense of weakness.

On her shoulder, a hideous bloodstain was particularly eye-catching.
The bloodstains looked like they were cut by someone with some extremely sharp weapon.
The marks left after a fierce chop from a sharp blade that can cut through iron like mud.

The blood from the wound was slowly flowing out, staining the clothes on her shoulders blood red and wet.

The dark red bloodstains looked particularly eerie under the light.

"You are hurt?"

Chu He asked.
