Half Immortal

Chapter 35: Ankang Ancient Town (14) I am Yan

Views:

The rain seems to be a little less.

In the main hall, at the moment Jiang Xiu pushed Zheng Mao down, there was a sudden gust of wind outside the house.

In the sound of the wind, the dilapidated windows of the mountain temple were blown open by the wind, making the sound of wooden blocks colliding. The candlelight was blown out by the wind, only the faint thunder light illuminated the hall.

At the moment when the thunder flashed past, Jiang Xiu who was standing and Zheng Mao who was pushed to the ground both opened their eyes wide at the same time.

—In front of the stone statue of the mountain god, among the sacrifices scattered all over the place, stood a skinless and boneless thing.

It seems that the bones in its legs are gone, standing there, like a lump of soft flesh on the ground. The bloody face looked at them ferociously, and the stinky blood flowed down the skinless flesh and blood slowly.

Zheng Mao's face turned pale, he staggered up and ran in the opposite direction.

But before he ran a few steps, a human-shaped thing suddenly appeared in front of him and stood directly in front of him. This thing appeared so suddenly, he didn't have time to react, and bumped into it all at once.

Zheng Mao took a step back, only to find that his clothes and hands were covered with blood.

And in front of him, there was actually a skinless female ghost standing!

"Boom—"

Another thunder flashed.

In the main hall, there were four skinless female ghosts standing in front, back, left, and right!

Jiang Xiu didn't expect the death trigger to come so quickly. Although he used Zheng Mao to attract the ghosts, he still panicked. For some reason, he always had the feeling of being stared at by death.

He hurriedly turned his head and left the hall quickly.

Zheng Mao no longer cared about Jiang Xiu. Seeing the skinless female ghost walking towards him with boneless and bloody legs, he hastily took out the life-saving tools he had accumulated.

But here, he had just used props to avoid the attack of the skinless female ghost in front of him. Before Zheng Mao could dodge in the future, a skinless female ghost suddenly sprang out from behind and tore off his arm in an instant.

"Ah-"

Blood spattered, and the pain of his broken arm tore his pain nerves. He cried out in pain, and his forehead was filled with sweat.

The strong desire to survive made him try to escape despite the severe pain, and all the few props in his hand were exhausted. The base of his broken arm was bleeding continuously, and the skin on his back was torn off together with his clothes.

Under the strong pain, Zheng Mao quickly ran out of the mountain temple.

The rain washed over his wound, and he ran for an unknown amount of time. Under the double load of his wound and his physical strength, he finally couldn't run any more, and fell down on the mountain road all of a sudden.

He looked back, but he didn't see any ghosts again.

... No ghosts came after him? Why are there no ghosts chasing him

There was a burst of ecstasy in Zheng Mao's heart - did he escape?

He was panting heavily, and before he had time to be happy, someone's voice suddenly came from far and near.

It seemed to be the voice of the townspeople.

"Recently, my brother is not in good health. I want to take advantage of the heavy rain on the mountain, and the mountain god will bless me. I will quickly find some herbs for him."

"But I've been walking for so long and I haven't seen anything."

"..."

At this moment, Zheng Mao's mind is full of turbidity, and he just wants to live. Even if he can exchange for ordinary wound medicine in the shopping mall on the information panel, he can't move at all now, but if someone saves him, he can survive.

He hurriedly shouted weakly with all his strength: "Help me... help! Help..."

The two townspeople heard his cries for help and approached slowly.

"Eh? There's someone here!"

"He seems to be injured... come and see!"

"Hey, this person looks familiar. Isn't this the outsider who helped that frustrated woman during the day?"

"It's him. He was punished by the mountain god. The mountain god made him appear in front of us. The meaning is obvious."

Zheng Mao's breath was stagnant.

Before the joy in his eyes had time to emerge, he saw the two townspeople in front of him lifting a huge stone.

He forgot!

He actually forgot... He has the townspeople's disgust debuff on him!

He suddenly understood that even without this debuff, he would die at the hands of the townspeople sooner or later. The skinless female ghost was born because of the resentment of being sacrificed, how could she kill the person who destroyed the sacrifice

If you destroy the death triggered by the sacrifice, you will be killed by the townspeople...

At the moment when the stone hit Zheng Mao's head, at the last second before his life, Zheng Mao stared blankly ahead, his mind was in chaos.

...Why did he agree to Jiang Xiujin to trouble Yan for this dungeon

The next moment, a huge stone directly smashed through his head, and blood and brains flowed out together, being washed away by the rain little by little.

On the other side, Jiang Xiu turned around and left the hall.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and planned to go back to his room to figure out how to bring back the three-point gap tomorrow during the day. This time Zheng Mao helped him attract ghosts, and he even saved his life-saving props.

There is a long and narrow corridor with several turns between the main hall and the guest rooms. Jiang Xiu had just walked a few steps when he saw a figure standing in front of the corridor.

The young man was copying his pocket with one hand, flipping coins with the other, and stood there leisurely. Seemingly hearing Jiang Xiu's footsteps, he turned his head and looked over.

"Yan Wei? Why are you here?" Jiang Xiu sneered, "It's dark outside, you have to be careful of ghost attacks."

Yan Wei raised his hand and grabbed the coin that was still in mid-air.

He unhurriedly raised his hand and pointed behind Jiang Xiu: "Yes, you have to be careful."

Jiang Xiu's perception suddenly worked, and he felt a chill coming from his back. He turned his head subconsciously, and suddenly saw two skinless female ghosts standing not far behind him.

Jiang Xiu was shocked, turned around and was about to go forward, but when he turned around, he saw two skinless female ghosts standing in front of him!

The four skinless female ghosts before and after... These are clearly the four skinless female ghosts who were in the hall just now. And these four skinless female ghosts stared at him closely, as if there was no Yan Wei in their eyes.

what happened? Shouldn't these skinless female ghosts kill Zheng Mao and leave? Zheng Mao triggered the death condition, it should be the only target of the ghost tonight...

Being blocked by ghosts front and back, Jiang Xiu forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath, and prepared to take out his props.

The young man not far away gave a low laugh.

His voice is clear and warm, with some lively escape. But on such a rainy night, with ghosts standing in front of and behind him, the young man's voice seemed to flow from hell: "Are you weird? According to your personality, you must have pulled Zheng Mao to protect you from disaster." Bar."

Yan Wei copied his pockets with both hands, and walked towards Jiang Xiu in a leisurely manner. He clearly passed the skinless girl, but the skinless female ghost stared closely at Jiang Xiu from the beginning to the end, and seemed to be moving forward slowly.

Jiang Xiu gritted his teeth: "Why don't they attack you?"

"Guess?" Yan Wei raised his eyebrows, walked in front of Yan Wei, and said with a smile, "You must not have guessed. Oh yes, you just asked me why I was here, of course I came to see you off."

His confident and calm appearance at this moment is completely different from the useless and loose appearance shown in front of them before.

Jiang Xiu's pupils dilated slightly.

The skinless female ghost approached again, Yan Wei said: "Let me guess what you did just now. You definitely don't want to die, but I opened up the three-point gap between you all at once, unless you find Tianda Otherwise, you will definitely be besieged by ghosts tonight. But there are two ways to not die. Since you can’t grab points, it must be a trigger for death. You should find a way to turn off both of you. Projected, and then secretly killed Zheng Mao to trigger the death condition, right? Unfortunately, your plan failed, and now the primary target of the ghost attack... is still you."

"How do you—"

"Because I am Yan."

Yan Wei directly interrupted Jiang Xiu's words.

Seeing that the skinless female ghosts were about to attack, he took a step back in a very gentlemanly manner, leaving enough room for these skinless female ghosts to attack.

Jiang Xiu's eyes widened, his pupils dilated slightly, and he looked at Yan Wei with a pale face.

Yan Wei repeated again: "Didn't hear you clearly? I said, I, yes, Yan."

"I have planned this step since you entered the dungeon. You want me to die, and I want you to die too. You want me to be the lowest score, and I want you to be the lowest score. You failed, and I succeeded. "

"This is all the inspiration you gave me, the method you taught me. If you didn't plan to do it in the first place, I wouldn't learn it. It turns out that it is still useful. Now you are the one who is going to die, right?"

The skinless female ghost made a move.

They completely ignored Yan Wei who was standing aside, and moved towards Jiang Xiu with their bloody hands.

Jiang Xiu hurriedly threw the prop, relying on his ten-level body index to dodge.

But those are four skinless female ghosts.

This is a seven-story dungeon with a second difficulty upgrade—the difficulty has already surpassed the tenth floor where Jiang Xiu was originally.

On the first night, a single skinless female ghost consumed the strongest ghost exorcism item in Jiang Xiu's hand. Now four skinless female ghosts surrounded him, and he used up all his life-saving tools in just a moment.

Jiang Xiu only felt the feeling of death enveloped him for a moment.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Yan Wei with tears in his eyes, and suddenly took out the last remaining tool - an ordinary dagger.

He knew he couldn't survive.

"I'm going to die anyway, Lou's rules are useless to me! I'm going to drag you to hell with me!!"

Following his movements, the dagger pierced towards Yan Wei's heart!

But Yan Wei just stood where he was, and the moment he approached, he slightly hooked the corners of his mouth.

The next moment, the dagger that was about to reach the heart did not know what kind of resistance it encountered, but it didn't penetrate an inch, but bounced him back instead.

The next moment, Jiang Xiu was directly bounced into the middle of the skinless girl.

The hand of the skinless female ghost quickly pressed his shoulder.

At that moment, Jiang Xiu felt that the cold air enveloped him, and he wanted to move, but he couldn't move at all—he suddenly understood how the deceased died in the first night.

"It's a pity. It's not past midnight, you can't drag me to hell."

A misty girl's singing came floating in the distance—it was the song that symbolized the mountain god and Yuze again.

The singing came from the wind, mixed with Jiang Xiu's screams.

"Ahhh!!!"

The pain of tearing flesh swept across his body, and blood flowed through Jiang Xiu's eyes. He shouted uncontrollably, staring closely at Yan Wei's direction through the blood red in front of his eyes.

The young man who was harmless to humans and animals during the day just stood aside casually at the moment, watching everything that happened in front of him with a calm expression.

yan.

The codename of the best player who appeared at the end of the ultra-difficult level 1 dungeon and did microsurvival.

It wasn't Yan Mingguang who was so indifferent as if he didn't pay attention to everything, but this Yan Wei who was pretending to be trash from beginning to end. Yan Wei has never been Yan Mingguang's burden, but Yan Mingguang's most powerful teammate hidden in the dark.

Why did Yan Wei hide behind Yan Mingguang

If he had known this from the start, wouldn't he have taken it lightly? All his plans were accurately calculated by Yan Wei, and in the end he reaped the consequences.

He shouldn't have entered this seventh-floor copy.

He simply... can't fight Yan Wei.

Jiang Xiu couldn't think anymore.

He felt the bones being pulled out alive, the flesh being torn apart forcefully, and the pain sweeping through his body, he could only scream at the top of his lungs.

—I couldn’t even scream until the end.

Yan Wei watched the skinless girl peel Jiang Xiu's skin and bones, and after seeing the unwillingness and remorse left on the face of this person at the last moment before his life, he immediately turned his head away.

It's one thing for Jiang Xiu to die with reluctance to rest his eyes. If this person still looks at him after he dies, it's really hard for his own eyes.

It's not easy for him, a clean freak, to see this moment.

When the sound of skinning and bones finally stopped, Yan Wei turned around and glanced at the bloody corpse.

The skinless female ghosts lost their target and all looked at him fiercely with bloody pupils.

Yan Wei immediately took out the girl's phalanx from the black ring—an item in the dungeon that can resist attacks related to the skin bone umbrella and the skinless girl to a certain extent. As soon as the phalanx came out of the Black Ring, a thing that shields perception and detached from the inner world of the copy, Yan Wei felt that the sense of crisis that enveloped him was eliminated a lot.

The skinless girls no longer stared at him gloomily.

The misty singing also gradually stopped.

He stepped forward, knelt down in front of Jiang Xiu's skinless corpse, put on his gloves, and immediately picked up the finger bone of an ordinary dead man under the eyes of the skinless girl, and put it in the black ring.

Zheng Mao will die because of the lowest score and the triggering condition for death has been touched.

Jiang Xiu died because of the lowest score, and he didn't know that he had a finger bone on his body.

Yan Wei quickly put the phalanx into the black ring, holding the girl's phalanx in his hand, as expected he did not receive the girl's attack. Now that Jiang Xiu's confidant's serious problem was solved, he took the phalanx, and immediately walked around the skinless girl and walked back quickly.

As soon as he entered the room, the man's voice reached his ears: "Dead?"

"Totally dead," Yan Wei closed the door, his expression not so relaxed, "I also came to the conclusion, sure enough, having a girl's finger bones in her hand can block the skinless girl and the skin bone umbrella to a certain extent, while If the phalanx of the deceased is put out, it will be attacked and killed by ghosts. Lou is still Lou, and the good effect of the girl's phalanx is directly explained in the props. Unknown. Anyone who thinks it might be similar to a girl's finger bone will die."

Yan Mingguang's eyes moved slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Use it alone."

Yan Wei's pupils lit up: "You also discovered it? I think these functions, whether it is the phalanx of a girl or the phalanx of an ordinary deceased, are only used alone. There are so many of them, let alone the phalanx of a girl, and it can be explained as different Players can have a certain life-saving function if they get one, but there are at least a few hundred phalanxes of ordinary dead people, so it is impossible for players to use them alone, right?"

"Ning Yi found a way to deal with the skin bone umbrella."

"Yes," Yan Wei nodded, "At present, only this aspect may be related to the phalanx... I suspect that we must confront Ning Yi."

This is why he did not breathe a sigh of relief after Jiang Xiu's death.

The witch was tied up by them and threatened to tell everything she knew. The secret at the bottom of the well was also revealed, as was the secret of the ancient town, but the stairs did not appear.

The only thing they didn't do, maybe collect all the finger bones. But if the phalanges are not only used alone, it means that even if they have gathered all the phalanges, they have not reached the final step.

This means that not only are they likely to have some interaction with Ning Yi, but also...

They still haven't found any strong clues to point out where the stairs are hidden in this ancient town of Ankang with its ugly habits.

"Squeak..."

"Squeak..."

"Squeak..."

Yan Wei and Yan Mingguang looked at each other at the same time.

They all heard footsteps outside the door.

The footsteps sounded like a staggering person dragging something slowly, stopping at the door of each room, and gently putting down something.

The voice moved from far to near, and suddenly stopped at the door of Yan Wei and his wife's room. After a while, this kind of staggering footsteps on the wooden floor sounded again, slowly pulling away.

A chill was felt, and Yan Wei grabbed the Yanzi coin in his pocket.

This movement... is completely no different from the first night when the sorceress came to release the skin bone umbrella.

But the sorceress had already been fainted by their medicine and tied up in an empty room of the temple.

—Then who is this umbrella...
