Being grabbed by this soft monster, Gu Xiantang was more nervous than anyone imagined. Even he himself didn't know why he was so scared all of a sudden. Obviously, the energy aura emanating from this monster's body was not strong, at least not strong enough. To the point where it can scare him, but... He has an instinctive fear of this monster.
"what are you doing?!"
Gu Xiantang seemed to be stimulated, and his shouting voice became sharper. This kind of embarrassment only made him feel extremely ashamed, especially in front of his childhood sweetheart Zhao Zhier...
"You... are you..."
The monster's tall, thin and withered body was like a tree that was about to die. On its old face, which was uneven like bark, there was a creepy smile.
Although there is no eyeball tissue in its deep-set eye sockets, Gu Xiantang can feel... this monster is staring at him.
"What us?! Let me go!!"
Gu Xiantang yelled and pulled out the saber he carried with him. Since the distance between the two sides was too close, it was impossible for him to use the tip of the sword to stab the monster, so he could only flip his wrist, and slashed at the monster with a slanted sword. onto the monster's arm.
He has full confidence in the dharma sword in his hand. Although it is not as good as the rusty sword passed down from generation to generation by the Li family in Shu, it is not far behind in terms of sharpness alone.
Especially with the blessing of the energy in Gu Xiantang's body, this magical sword is invincible and indestructible, but when it touches this monster, the feedback sent back by the blade makes Gu Xiantang somewhat unacceptable.
The monster's shriveled arm looks weak, like a dry branch without water, as if it would shatter if touched lightly, but in fact... the monster's flesh is harder than most metals !
As soon as the indestructible magic sword in Gu Xiantang's hand was slashed, a conspicuous gap was broken almost instantly.
Gu Xiantang must feel uncomfortable, after all, this magic sword has been with Gu Xiantang for more than ten years, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is his most beloved treasure...
"You!! I killed you!!"
"careful!!"
As soon as Zhao Zhi'er's reminder fell, Gu Xiantang found himself suddenly plunged into a sticky and soft substance... He lowered his head to look, only to find that the monster's soft lower limbs had been wrapped around his body. As if trying to absorb itself completely, it kept pulling towards the inside of the body.
To be honest, Gu Xiantang felt a little nauseous.
This feeling is like being continuously absorbed by a giant slug. Those soft substances that exude a strange fragrance are disgusting no matter how you look at them, and this is not just as simple as nausea.
While being restrained by this monster, Gu Xiantang also found that the energy in his body was draining rapidly... It seemed that the energy had been sucked away by something, and his limbs did not listen to him at all, no matter how much he thought Efforts to break free are futile.
"let me help you!"
Zhao Zhi'er pulled out the dharma sword she carried with her, unlike Gu Xiantang who was so reckless, she did not directly attack the monster, but pinched the energy in her body to gather energy in her fingertips, and then moved her fingertips to A touch of the blade...
In an instant, some colorful substances appeared on the blade, suspended in the air about half a centimeter away from the blade like dust.
It wasn't until this moment that Zhao Zhi'er was "willing" to make a move.
She grasped the hilt of the sword tightly and raised her hand to stab, the seemingly indestructible monster's body was pierced by the sword in an instant.
"It has weaknesses."
A look of excitement flashed in Zhao Zhi'er's eyes, and he cut the monster's arm in two with a light pick, but even so, the half of the hand left on Gu Xiantang's body still held his arm tightly.
"You....why have....matter....divinity...matter..."
The monster didn't attack Zhao Zhi'er. Not only did it not fight back, it didn't even dodge. It just stared straight at Zhao Zhi'er from the beginning to the end. It seemed that it found something in this human being that it couldn't believe. s things.
Just like those colorful energies.
The "divine substance" it calls.
"Get out of the way! I can handle it!"
At this moment, Gu Xiantang yelled without warning, as if he felt a little ashamed in front of Zhao Zhier, and was so embarrassed by this monster in just a moment... Gu Xiantang was angry at this moment. Just a strong sense of humiliation.
Of course, Zhao Zhi'er has long been accustomed to his neurotic behavior. She has always felt that Gu Xiantang is not a normal person. Perhaps it is because of Gu Shanzhu's pampering. He has never been wronged since childhood, and his self-esteem is higher than anyone else's. be strong...
"I'll get you out first." Zhao Zhi'er said with a frown, and didn't step aside as the caretaker Xiantang said, "Afterwards, you can deal with it however you want."
"You don't need to save me! I can do it!"
Gu Xiantang's teeth were about to be crushed, and when he heard Zhao Zhi'er say he wanted to save himself, the humiliation he felt instantly increased several times...
At this time, Gu Xiantang had already noticed the change in the monster.
When the monster used its soft lower limbs to restrain him, perhaps because it was cut by Xu Yanan, the weird restraint force has weakened a lot, at least Gu Xiantang's limbs have gradually recovered.
This time Gu Xiantang did not use the sword again.
He directly held another weapon pinned to his waist with his hand.
That's right, it was the thing that Chen Xian and the others were curious about before.
Since the outer layer of this weapon was wrapped tightly with linen, Chen Xian and the others didn't see what was under the linen...
This is a scepter.
Judging from the appearance, this scepter should be made of gold, and it has a weird spiral shape as a whole. There are many unintelligible relief totems on the outer layer, most of which are distorted patterns that are unrecognizable. The top of the staff is inlaid with a milky white gem the size of an adult's fist.
That gem seems to be "alive", and there are many blood-like things on its outer layer. These scarlet filaments cover the surface of the gem like a spider web, dividing the complete gem into different parts. Regular grid.
There is a black spot the size of a soybean in each small grid.
They are constantly turning, like countless eyes. When they lost the cover of the linen cloth, they immediately looked at Gu Xiantang who was holding the scepter, and then turned their eyes to look at the nearby The monster at hand.
"The key... is with you... so it is with you..."
The monster seemed to recognize the scepter, and his voice became trembling, but the tone of voice was very strange, as if... Surprised, why would someone dare to take this thing away
In the next second, the monster pulled Gu Xiantang out of his body without warning, and then moved several meters away at a very fast speed, as if deliberately keeping a distance from Gu Xiantang.
"It's God's arrangement... It must be..."
The monster murmured softly. It looked at Gu Xiantang, then turned back to look deep into the tunnel, as if looking for traces of Chen Xian and the others.
"How dare you attack me..."
Gu Xiantang's eyes were full of undisguised killing intent. After breaking free from the shackles of this monster, the anger in his heart did not go away, but intensified, and he wished he could just kill this monster to vent his anger.
The monster doesn't care if Gu Xiantang is angry or not, and it doesn't care what Gu Xiantang wants to do to him next. It is just a disciple guarding the ancient land, and everything it does here is just a task assigned by the gods.
At this time, the monster spoke again, and compared to before, its language ability seemed to have recovered a bit, at least not so stammering anymore.
"You will regret this... ... "
The monster said this briefly, and then took a deep look at Gu Xiantang.
"A low-level life... can't bear the weight of everything... it won't be a key in your hand... just an unknown sacred object..."
Hearing these words coming out of the monster's mouth, Gu Xiantang frowned immediately, as if he felt that the monster was trying to scare people.
"An unknown holy object?" Gu Xiantang sneered, "Do you think I can't hold it down?"
"madness."
The monster laughed strangely, as if mocking Gu Xiantang's overreaching.
"You will regret this."
