"Oh? It's you."
The high priest had never expected that after wandering in the cracks in space for so long, he would meet an old friend as soon as he came out.
Unlike the high priest who was surprised, Chen Chu and Lin Xi were frightened. They were originally preparing to leave, but when they saw that the high priest Chen Chu's supernatural power had almost reached its peak, they jumped into the sky.
"Why are you running?" The high priest had not yet completely walked out of the space gap, so he raised his hand and cast a curse.
Chen Chu, who had already flown dozens of meters, suddenly had dense black chains growing on his body, and the other end of the black chains was firmly held in the hand of the high priest.
Chen Chu struggled for a few times and found that the chain was very strong. Although it was not completely impossible to break free, by the time he broke free, the high priest must have completely entered through the space gap. Once he completely entered the Miao Village subspace, neither he nor Lin Yan could escape.
"Lin Yan, you go first." Almost without hesitation, Chen Chu landed on the top of the mountain nearby, and then handed his storage space to Lin Yan. All the Gu insect energy stones were in it.
The chains were a curse, and the high priest only cursed Chen Chu, so the chains only bound Chen Chu.
“But…” Lin Xi.
"Let's go. He may not kill me." Chen Chu pushed Lin Yan and said, "If we don't leave now, it will be too late."
Lin Xi also knew that she was no match for the high priest. If the high priest wanted to kill her, he could kill her with just a curse.
Wait, the system seems to have said that it cannot be killed by a curse.
Then what are you afraid of
When she thought that she couldn't be killed by the curse, Lin Xi's spine straightened immediately, and she even dared to turn around and stare at the high priest. Most of the high priest's body had entered the Miao village, and only half of his shoulder was still stuck in the barrier formed by the boundary Gu.
"Hurry up!" Seeing that Lin Yan didn't move, Chen Chu urged her anxiously.
"Senior, try your luck." Lin Yan turned around and said to Chen Chu.
Chen Chu was stunned. If he didn't run now, what was the point of trying his luck? He was just wondering when he heard Lin Yan suddenly shout, "Zhuang Zhou, come out!"
"Ah? It's ruined."
Play with your sister, play with her, I want you to play with me, okay? I want Zhuang Zhou, Zhuang Zhou!
Lin Xi looked back at the high priest who had only one-third of his shoulder left, and decisively gave up relying on her luck to draw cards. She glanced at Chen Chu, put her right hand into the card pool, and took Chen Chu's hand with her left hand and placed it on her right hand.
"Senior, let's draw Zhuang Zhou." It was too late to explain at this time. Lin Yan just said quickly, "I will leave after I finish drawing."
Chen Chu really didn't understand what Lin Yan was doing at this time, but he just wanted Lin Yan to leave immediately. After hearing what she said, he didn't care what Lin Yan was doing and raised his hand to hit her.
"Wait a minute, call Zhuang Zhou. Have you played Honor of Kings? Zhuang Zhou!" Lin Xi reminded.
"...Zhuang Zhou!" Chen Chu gritted his teeth and shouted, while pulling Lin Xi's hand down.
There was a "flutter" sound, which seemed to be the sound of some animal flapping its wings.
"Is it interesting for a group of people to fight in someone's dream?" Lin Xi, who had been anxious just now, suddenly looked like she had just woken up and was shaking her head lazily.
"Third skill, third skill!" After saying Zhuang Zhou's fixed lines, Lin Wei desperately used the third skill.
With a "crash" sound, ripples vibrated in the air. Chen Chu was standing next to Lin Xi, and the ripples naturally wrapped Chen Chu in it. In an instant, the chain that locked Chen Chu disappeared like a bubble.
"It really works! The butterfly is me, I am the butterfly." Lin Xi couldn't control herself and recited another line.
Zhuang Zhou's third skill can help teammates release control. The first moment she saw the chain, the first thing she thought of was releasing control, so she tried it with a try-it attitude. Unexpectedly, it was really useful.
Even more surprised than Lin Yan was Chen Chu, who had never expected that Lin Yan could actually remove the chains that the high priest had bound him. But despite being surprised, Chen Chu did not delay his escape, and the moment he escaped, he took Lin Yan and flew away again, flying towards the Miao village without stopping.
Not long after they flew away, the high priest finally broke free from the space gap and completely entered the Miao village. And the moment she stepped in, the entire Miao village suddenly hummed and vibrated.
"The space is restless." Chen Chu felt the powerful force of space restless.
"The Miao village is not going to collapse, is it?" Lin Wei asked fearfully.
"It's okay, we'll be out soon." At this time, they had returned to the sky above the Miao village.
In the Miao village, all the aboriginal spirits came out of their houses because of the space vibration just now. The superpowers who were fighting each other for the energy stone in the square also stopped fighting at this time and carefully observed the surroundings.
As for Lin Xi, when Chen Chu took her to dive towards the statue in the center of the square, the fortune sticks in the divination system began to shake wildly.
"Pu XX, male, 30 years old, will be trapped to death in the Miao village."
"Cui XX, male, 28 years old, will be trapped to death in the Miao village."
"Han XX, male, 35 years old, said he was trapped to death in the Miao village."
The series of divinations that could lead to death in the Miao village made Lin Xi completely confused.
This divination is not right. She had stayed near the statue for so long before and was besieged by people, but the divination system did not respond at all. Therefore, there is only one reason for this sudden large-scale divination, that is, there is something that has just appeared and caused this result.
Did the high priest kill everyone here
No, if it was the high priest who killed him, why would the divination system's result be "trapped to death in the Miao village" instead of "death or being killed by someone"
Can’t get out
"The space door can't be opened!"
Lin Yan looked at Chen Chu fiercely and confirmed: "The space door can't be opened?"
Chen Chu said with an unpleasant expression: "Maybe I haven't collected all the energy stones. I'll go grab some more."
"Wait a moment." Lin Yan held Chen Chu, "Let me confirm something."
Chen Chu looked at Lin Yan in confusion, and saw Lin Yan shouting in English to those psychics who were rushing over to grab the energy stones: "Don't grab them, the space door can't be opened."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the divination task. I will reward you with a little merit and 0 yuan for divination."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the divination task. I will reward you with a little merit and 0 yuan for divination."
Lin looked at the increasing merit points and for the first time didn't want them. When she told the divination result, she only said that the subspace door couldn't be opened, but didn't say that she was trapped in the Miao village, just to verify whether her guess was right. Now that the merit points are in hand, there is nothing that can't be proved.
Damn it, the space door really can't be opened?! Why are my guesses about accidents always so accurate
"Are you talking nonsense? Don't believe her. She just wants to trick us into not stealing the energy stone." A Korean psychic who could understand English and was quick-witted immediately shouted in English.
"Idiot, if we could get out, we would have gone out just now and were waiting for you to snatch us away!" Lin Xi was in a bad mood and couldn't help but want to curse.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who could understand English fell silent.
Yes, these two Chinese guys have already reached the exit. If they could open the space gate, they could just go out directly. Why waste time talking to them
"Heong, what did that woman just say?" Someone who didn't understand English began to ask his companions.
"She said the subspace gate can't be opened and we're all trapped here." Someone explained.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the divination task. You will be rewarded with some merit points and 0 yuan for divination." System.
"What? You must be kidding. How could the space gate not be opened? She must not have enough types of energy stones in her hands, and she is afraid that we will snatch them from her, so she said that." Immediately, another smart person "saw through" Lin Xi's intention.
Whether from the perspective of interests or credibility, people are more willing to believe this wise man, so the crowd rushed towards the statue again.
Chen Chu realized that things were not going well, so he picked up Lin Yan and flew up again, heading towards the house where the A-level spirit was before, and flew in through the window.
The Korean psychic wanted to chase after them, but was frightened by the spirit that just walked out of the house. The number of spirits appearing in the Miao village at this time was more than three times that of before.
How come so many spirits appear all of a sudden
In the room, the A-level female spirit had also returned. She glanced at the two people who flew into her room, then turned and walked over.
“#@%#￥… %￥#…” the female spirit said to Lin Xi.
"Wait a minute." Lin Yan took out the ruler, established contact, and asked again, "What did you want to tell me just now?"
"What did you do in the north of the mountain? Why was the Gu King shaken?" asked the female spirit.
"A person came in from outside the barrier in the north of the mountain." To the female spirit, the high priest was indeed a person from the subspace.
"Who?" asked the female spirit.
"The high priest of the Soul Locking Tower." Lin Xi said.
"Soul-Locking Tower?" Soul-Locking Tower is the name given by Earth to the tower that imprisoned the high priest. It is not an original name in the subspace, so the female spirit had never heard of it.
"He is a very powerful curse master." Lin Yan pointed at Chen Chu and said, "A curse master who is even more powerful than him."
The female spirit's green eyes suddenly widened, "Able to travel through space and attract the Gu King, a level 15 supernatural being?"
Level 15
Lin Yan pointed at Chen Chu and subconsciously asked, "What level is he?"
"Less than level 12." said the female spirit.
"!!" The high priest is three levels higher than Senior Chen Chu, but Senior Chen Chu is already S-level. Is the high priest SS-level? No, SSS-level?
"Ask her what's going on with the space gate?" Chen Chu reminded Lin Xi.
Lin Yan quickly asked: "Why can't the space door be opened?"
"What space gate?" the female spirit was puzzled.
Lin Xi was speechless. She and senior Chen Chu had neglected the idea that the spirits in the subspace had no idea about the space gate.
Lin Yan said to Chen Chu: "They don't know what a space gate is."
Chen Chu frowned. Seeing that this spirit had a high IQ, he thought it knew something.
"Then how do you know that the space door cannot be opened?" Although Chen Chu believed Lin Xi, he still wanted to know the reason.
"I found out through divination." Lin Xi said.
Divination? Because of Lin Xi's tools, Chen Chu always overlooked Lin Xi's divination ability.
"Is the accuracy rate high?" Chen Chu asked with hope.
“Either you can’t figure it out, or it’s 100% accurate.”
One hundred percent accuracy? Even the prophet wouldn't dare to say that. But Chen Chu knew that Lin Yan wouldn't lie about that.
"So, why can't the space gate be opened?" Then there is only the second way, to kill all the spirits here.
"Buzz"
Suddenly, a dozen golden light spots suddenly appeared, surrounding the two of them. Outside the light spots, the female spirit who had just spoken to them had retreated to the door of the room, holding a bamboo flute and looking at Chen Chu vigilantly.
"You were fine just now, why did you start fighting over a disagreement?" Lin Xi asked.
"I sense murderous intent from him." The female spirit pointed at Chen Chu.
Lin Xi turned and looked at Chen Chu.
Chen Chu faced the female spirit, and there was a whistling sound of wind at his fingertips.
Seeing Chen Chu's attitude, Lin Xi had nothing to understand. Combined with the content of their conversation just now, Lin Xi immediately guessed Chen Chu's plan. He wanted to use the second method to leave the Miao village.
But the problem is…
"The high priest has come in. Is he considered a spirit here?" Lin Xi asked.
Chen Chu was stunned by Lin's question. Is the high priest considered a spirit in this subspace? You say he is, but he is not a spirit originally from the Miao village. He came from the Soul Locking Tower. You say he is not, but he is indeed in the Miao village. No one knows the identification principle of the subspace, how to identify the aboriginals. Is it based on the household registration, or is it just a matter of arriving
“@#%￥#%”
The high priest's voice came suddenly, echoing throughout the Miao village. He spoke the language of the subspace and did not use any soul sensing abilities, so Lin Xi could not understand it.
The high priest in a bright red sacrificial robe was walking in from the village gate. He casually looked around the situation inside the village. When he saw that there were many outsiders in the village, he waved his long sleeves, and the power of curse overflowed. These supernatural people in the village fell down one after another without a sound.
"What brings you to my Wuhen Valley, Venerable?" the female spirit shouted loudly.
"Are you the current valley master?" The high priest looked at the female spirit.
"yes."
"Miao Geyun, who are you?" asked the high priest.
"My grandmother."
"I heard that during the catastrophe, Venerable Miao Geyun used his body as a container and borrowed the power of Ten Thousand Gu to seal the 'plague'. Is this true?" asked the high priest.
"Yes." said the female spirit.
"Why is it that the high priest is the only one asking questions? I have no idea what they are talking about." Lin Yan and Chen Chu squatted in the room. They wanted to guess the high priest's intentions through the female spirit's answers, but after listening for a long time, they could not hear anything except "yes, yes, yes". "How did this high priest get out of the Soul Locking Tower?"
Chen Chu: "It should be related to the ruler. The ruler broke the power of rules and the Soul Locking Tower collapsed. The high priest should have taken the opportunity to escape at that time. But... no one thought that he could actually travel through the turbulent space."
But if the high priest is here, then the seventh floor of the Soul Locking Tower is empty? And the high priest can travel through the space turbulence to the Miao village, can he go to other places in the future? If there is such a powerful spirit wandering around in the subspace, I am afraid that the survival rate of the subspace will be even lower in the future.
Also, the high priest wanted to leave the subspace and go to Earth. When he was in the Soul Locking Tower, the number of outsiders with special abilities that he could contact was limited. If...
When Chen Chu thought of this, he felt his hands and feet go cold.
"Your Excellency, please tell me your purpose." The female spirit continued to ask.
"I want Miao Geyun's Gu." said the high priest.
"Impossible!" The female spirit refused without even thinking.
"If it were before, I wouldn't have dared to offend Wuhen Valley, but Miao Geyun took away almost all of Wuhen Gu's worms when he sealed the 'plague'. Now, how many kinds of worms do you have left?" The high priest sneered, "If you know what's good for you, tell me where Miao Geyun's worms are, and I'll take them and leave. Otherwise, I'll kill you all and then slowly look for them."
The female spirit tightly grasped the railing of the bamboo house, her heart full of struggle.
"Why bother? This world has already died, and you are nothing but residual souls." The voice of the high priest came again.
"Remnant soul? This world is dead?" The female spirit was a little surprised when she heard it at first, but she didn't seem completely surprised, as if she had expected it.
The high priest is telling the female spirit the truth that this world is dead? !
The female spirit suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Yan: "Is our world dead?"
This was the first time that Lin Yan encountered such a situation, and she didn’t know how to answer for a moment: “Senior, she asked me if their world was dead? How should I answer?”
Chen Chu is very experienced: "Tell the truth, her memory will be refreshed in three days anyway."
Lin Xi then remembered that ordinary spirits in the subspace could not have continuous memories: "In fact, I think your world is more like the underworld."
"Hell?"
"It's the world after death." Lin Yan explained, "From our perspective, there are no living things in your world anymore, but your spirits are still there, just like a kingdom of the dead. I think you just exist in a different form."
"Spirit, no wonder I always felt something strange about my body after I advanced. It turns out that I am just a spirit now." The female spirit murmured.
It was also the first time that Lin Yan knew that in the self-awareness of spirits, they actually had physical bodies. It was only because of the upgrade of her superpowers that she realized something was wrong.
"My patience is limited. I will give you five counts to think about it. If you don't tell me after five counts, I will massacre everyone in Wuhen Valley." The high priest did not have the patience to wait for an answer and began to issue an ultimatum.
"Since the world is dead, what do you want the Gu King for?" The Gu of the female spirit grandmother is the Gu King of Wuhen Valley. In order to seal the 'plague', all the Gu masters in the valley gathered their strength and used hundreds of thousands of Gu worms to refine the Gu King. After that, the Gu worms in Wuhen Valley were almost extinct, with only more than ten kinds of Gu left.
"Five, four..." The high priest did not answer, but started counting down directly.
Without saying a word, the female spirit immediately put the bamboo flute in her hand to her lips and began to play. All the spirits in the Miao village followed her flute music and moved together.
These spirits controlled their own poisonous insects, or manipulated puppets to attack, or used the poisonous insects to attack directly, or combined in pairs to form a poison formation, and some who were not sorcerers actually rushed forward with swords and weapons.
Outside the Miao village, the tens of thousands of poisonous insects that had previously besieged Chen Chu and Lin Xi also gathered and attacked the high priest.
Chen Chu flashed to the window and looked out through the gap.
"You must help us." The female spirit suddenly came back and said to Chen Chu.
Without Chen Chu asking, Lin Yan took the initiative to respond: "She asked us to help him deal with the high priest."
The female spirit continued, "If we die, you will die too."
Chen Chu looked at the almost one-sided battle outside and replied, "I am no match for the high priest."
Female spirit: "Hold him until I wake up my grandmother."
When Lin Yan heard this, she thought it was a good idea: "Can your grandmother defeat the high priest?"
The female spirit looked at Lin Yan and said, "My grandmother is also a level 15 Venerable."
Lin Yan immediately relayed this to Chen Chu: "She said her grandmother is as powerful as the high priest, but it will take time to awaken her."
Chen Chu: "How long?"
Female spirit: "It takes about the same amount of time as a song."
Lin Xi really wanted to ask how long a piece of music lasted, two minutes or three minutes, and Chen Chu had already agreed.
After Chen Chu agreed, he said to Lin Yan, "You hide here and don't go out. Looking at the situation in the Miao village, they will fight to the death to stop the high priest. Even if they can't win in the end, the spirits in the Miao village should be almost dead. By then, the subspace gate may open. If it opens, leave immediately."
"What about you?" Lin Xi asked Chen Chu.
"I will find a way myself when the time comes. It will be easier for me to get out if you leave." Chen Chu said.
Lin Yan knew that Chen Chu's arrangement was the best under the current circumstances. With the props she had, she couldn't even stand in front of the high priest. If the high priest disliked her for being an eyesore, a death curse wouldn't kill her, but it would clear her merit points. She might as well just buy props here and see if she could help.
"I understand." Lin Xi nodded.
Chen Chu then pulled out the green red tassel spear from the storage space. This red tassel spear was also brought out from the seventh floor of the Soul Locking Building. Chen Chu shook the red tassel spear and turned into wind, jumping out of the window directly.
At the same time, the bamboo flute in the female spirit's hand sounded again, playing a new tune.
Lin Yan glanced out the window and raised her hand to remove the hairpin of the goddess of luck: "Make a wish, I hope that Senior Chen Chu will not be injured when fighting with the high priest."
[Host, please do not make unrealistic wishes.]
Lin Yan: "Make a wish that Senior Chen Chu will not be seriously injured when fighting the high priest."
[Host, please do not make unrealistic wishes.]
Not even if you don't get seriously injured?!
Lin Yan gritted her teeth and continued: "Make a wish. Senior Chen Chu doesn't die when fighting the high priest. Is that enough?"
[May your wish come true.]
Lin Yan was not happy at all about this wish, but she didn't care about being angry and immediately started to purchase props: "System, I want to buy props."
The shopping mall page flashed up, and at this time, the only item on the shopping mall page was "The Book of Words and Spirits". This was the only one left, so there was no need to choose, Lin Yan immediately clicked to buy it.
[Insufficient balance.]
How could that be? I still have more than 90,000.
Lin Yan hurriedly looked towards the lower left corner, and saw the merit value displayed in the lower left corner: 89811 merit points.
That's not right. When I bought the King's Card, I still had more than 90,000 merit points left. How come it's so much less all of a sudden
Lin Yan quickly clicked on the detailed list of merit points and saw three huge expenditures.
[Draw Zhang Fei, A-level, Merit value -500. ]
[Draw card Daji, B level, merit value -100.]
[Draw Zhuang Zhou, A-level, Merit -1000 (1% chance of S-level control release buff.)]
"…" Lin Yan finally understood why the 10,000 King of Glory Hero Card item was placed together with the 90,000 Word Spirit Book. Isn't this a typical sales tactic of free hardware and paid services? Moreover, she was charged 10,000 for the hardware.
"System, could you please not be so deceiving?" Lin Yan was angry.
"Is this a scam? With 10,000 merit points, you want to have the abilities of an A-level psychic? And there are many different kinds of items, and there's even a chance to draw an S-level hero card?" the system asked back.
Lin Yan was speechless when asked. If it was really as the system said, she would feel that it was not a loss even if it was 100,000, let alone 10,000. So the side effect of this item was that it consumed merit points every time it was used.
"What should I do now? The high priest is chasing me, and I have to buy props to save my life." Lin Xi said.
"I'm just a divination system." The system's motto of letting things down comes again.
"..." Lin Yan knew that this was hopeless. But the system had only put two products on the shelves today, one of which she bought and the other she couldn't afford. What should she do
"Can I draw an S-level card? How many merit points do I need for an SSS-level card?" Maybe I'll be lucky enough to get a 3S-level hero card, which will kill the high priest directly.
"You can try it, and you'll know when you get it." said the system.
I don't believe you at all. With my luck, it's impossible for me to win. Don't even think about cheating me of my merit points!
Lin Xi switched to the inventory and saw the "monk's wooden fish". Her eyes lit up and she took it out and started hitting it.
As she chanted “Amitabha,” golden light appeared on the female spirit’s body. She felt that the energy she had consumed in playing the tune was being replenished quickly, and her progress in playing the tune also became faster.
With a loud bang, the rock statue in the center of the square exploded, revealing a sarcophagus underneath. The sarcophagus began to vibrate, and a huge force was generated from within, knocking away the heavy stone slabs.
The high priest who was being entangled by Chen Chu and the spirits turned his head and saw a young woman with gorgeous clothes, beautiful face and braids decorated with red agate.
If Lin Yan were here, she would recognize at a glance that this woman was the statue sitting on the stone bench in the square. She would be even more surprised that this woman actually had a physical body.
"So, you turned yourself into a Gu." The high priest looked at the woman, his body suddenly exploded, and he hit Chen Chu in the chest with a palm, blasting him away.
Before the besieging spirits could get close, they were killed by the curse power emanating from the high priest.
It turns out that the high priest was not unable to kill all these spirits at once, but he just kept them to force the current Valley Master to summon the Gu King.
"Although I don't want to be a woman, I will change my body after I get out of here." The reason why the high priest went to the Miao village with all kinds of means was to get the Gu worm and use it to leave the subspace.
The subspace has rules and restrictions, and the spirits in the original space cannot leave the subspace. Previously, he wanted to use Chen Chu as a medium, and then take over Chen Chu's body after leaving. However, Chen Chu refused to do so, so he thought of another way, using the poisonous insect to parasitize and leave.
The Gu worm and his curse were both products of supernatural powers. Since the curse of his world could be brought to Earth, the Gu worm could do the same. So he only needed to fuse his spirit with the Gu worm and then parasitize it, and he could also leave and go outside. Once he got out, it would be easy for him to find a suitable body with his hands.
And in this world, the only Gu worm that can contain his soul is the Gu King of the Traceless Gu. But he didn't expect that Miao Geyun would actually use her body to refine the Gu. But that's good, after he gets out, he doesn't have to rush to find a body, and it's okay to be a woman for a while.
Because of Lin Xi's "wooden fish" help, the female spirit didn't feel tired after summoning the Gu King. She squatted beside Lin Xi and asked, "Can you use this ability on my grandmother?"
"Your grandmother?"
The female spirit pulled Lin Yan to the window, pointed at the woman who was walking towards the high priest step by step and said: "That is my grandmother. Sixty years ago, she merged herself with the Gu King and slept underground. Although I have awakened her now, I have only awakened the Gu King. The Gu King only has fighting instincts, and my control cannot defeat the high priest. If you can awaken my grandmother's spirit, we have a chance of winning."
Lin Xi asked: "Is your grandmother's spirit still there?"
The female spirit was extremely sure: "Yes!"
Lin: "That's fine."
Lin Xi held the wooden fish, ready to do something big.
