Wu Zen immediately grabbed the needle-like mouth, and the resistance of the thick gloves caused the tip of his mouth to peck the ghost face.
Wu Chan believed that if he had been half a second later, his long mouth would have been enough to pierce the ghost's face.
Wu Zen drew his sword and cut off the long mouth, and then cut off the monster's head with his sword. The monster's body hugged its head and tried to run away, but Wu Chan chased it from behind and kicked it down. He chopped it into pieces with a quick knife and smashed the central ball.
This monster with six central balls hidden in its body and a long needle-like mouth is not a mosquito, but an evil demon named "Greedy Tapir". The tapir is a monster in ancient stories that feeds on human dreams, while the greedy tapir eats the brains of its prey. Its limbs are like humans, but its head is like a pig's head. Its special ability is to make prey fall asleep, and then use its sharp mouth to insert into the prey's head like a straw.
Because the storm-proof suit was too cold, Wu Chan's willpower relaxed, and he fell into a deep sleep due to the greedy tapir evil demon's trick. At the same time, if it hadn't been for Wu Chan having a dream related to cold air, he might have been succeeded by the greedy tapir evil demon.
As a six-cell-level evil demon, the Greedy Tapir Evil Demon should not be so weak that he could be killed instantly. Unlucky as hell, Long Mouth's sneak attack on Wu Chan failed, and instead he was cut off with a knife and suffered heavy injuries.
Wu Chan's back felt cold, not only because of the heat absorption of the storm suit, but also with a hint of fear. He reflected on how he dared to take it lightly even though he knew that there was a greedy evil demon in the Ash Storm.
The Ruijin Curse was reactivated, and the golden light, like golden blood, seeped into the gap between the storm-proof suit and Wu Chan. Within a few seconds, Wu Chan's body warmed up and he was back on the road.
Ash Storm seemed to be afraid of Wu Chan's approach to the tall building. The resistance of the strong wind became stronger and stronger with Wu Chan's footsteps. There was a slight vibration in his waist at an inappropriate time, and Wu Chan had no time to care. After advancing for a few more minutes, everything around him was surrounded by dense ashes, which made Wu Chan feel like he had been attacked by a huge swarm of bees. He had to hold his long shield in front to block the wind.
This large but very light shield was not originally designed to resist. Although the ashes hit the shield and shattered at the touch, the tearing of the strong wind made Wu Chan feel that the shield might break at any time.
But fortunately, there will be no sneak attacks from evil spirits in the strong wind.
The difficulty in moving made Wu Chan unable to correctly judge the flow of time, and after he broke through the strong wind defense layer, a red light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
Red thunder and lightning flashed from time to time in the ash storm, but this was not the red light Wu Chan saw at the moment.
The real source of the red light is the two ghost horns on Wu Chan's forehead - this is a signal that the filter has reached its limit.
The ash storm seemed to be because the stronger wind couldn't help Wu Chan, so his arrogance was reduced a lot. Wu Chan finally arrived at the foot of the tall building with a red light on his forehead.
What surprised Wu Chan was that compared to the steel frame and the ruins with only half of the wall left in front of him, this tall building was actually completely preserved.
Although all the glass at the door was missing, and the sand and dust accumulated in the hall were as thick as a beach, the walls and stairs were solid. Wu Chan even easily found a good place to take shelter from the wind on the first floor.
Judging from the internal structure, this should be a public toilet. The wash basin was filled with yellow sand, and the faucet was stained with old rust, falling off when touched with fingers. The light source in the toilet was weak and filled with large black shadows. The red light from the ghost horn on Wu Chan's head gave off a strange and eerie feeling in the shadows.
Wu Chan turned the ghost horn twice, and when he pulled it out, the valve at the entrance of the hole closed automatically to prevent miasma from taking the opportunity to enter. The removed ghost horn was completely useless. Wu Chan threw it on the ground and took out a new ghost horn and installed it.
After stabilizing his respiratory system, Wu Chan took out the disk from his waist to check the information he had just ignored.
The four signal lights No. 1-4 on the periphery of the disk all lit up, which meant that Shen Jin, No. 5, and himself, No. 6, had not installed the bomb yet.
From the time he entered the ash storm to the time the ghost horns lit up, it meant that nearly an hour and a half had passed. He knew very well where Wu Chan wasted time during the journey and what was the reason that slowed down his pace. At this moment, he only needs to go up the stairs and get rid of the demons blocking his way, including the giant mantis, before he can plant the bomb. The length of the process depends on the number of demons, but generally it won't take too long.
So, what's going on with Shen Jin
Is it because the bomb has not been installed for so long? Is it because I encountered a demon that is more troublesome than Wu Chan, or is it because I have not found a suitable high-rise building for a long time
Wu Chan was a little worried.
But all he could do in his heart was go upstairs.
The high-rise building retains its elevator, but it is apparently completely out of service. Not only is there no power, but aging parts are also an important reason. On the other hand, if the elevator could operate normally at this moment, Wu Chan would be even more afraid to take it.
Wu Chan walked into the stair passage and walked up the solid cement steps.
This gave Wu Chan the feeling of climbing a poisonous mountain, but it was significantly different from the one outside the Ember Storm. The interiors of high-rise buildings in other areas of the old city have been completely filled with natural plants, and each floor leads to a small forest.
But this tall building has completely preserved the appearance of human beings after escaping from the poisonous rain of eternal night. Was it the Ash Storm that left this place barren of grass, or was there another reason
Just as Wu Chan was thinking this, a red light suddenly flashed above his head.
Wu Chan's first reaction was that the ghost horn was malfunctioning.
But in fact, the red light did not originate from Wu Zen's ghost horns.
Such similar red light is just another pair of ghost horns filtered to the limit.
Something picked up the ghost horn that Wu Chan had just discarded, and came upstairs faster than Wu Chan.
What could this be
Wu Chan slowed down his pace and prepared the sword in his right hand to chop at any time.
But Wu Chan didn't wait for the strange red light to appear. The flash just now seemed to be just Wu Chan's illusion.
Wu Chan didn't believe that he would be wrong.
Since he carefully went upstairs and couldn't lure the target, why not just "snatch the enemy"!
He speeded up instantly and climbed ten steps in one step. He wanted to catch up with the thing upstairs.
This move paid off for him, because he heard the footsteps of that thing.
It's people.
And they are acquaintances.
"Shen Jin?"
Wu Chan said.
The footsteps stopped immediately.
Two seconds later, a response came from above Wu Chan's head.
"Um."
Wu Chan's worries were suddenly relieved, and his tone was filled with relief that could not be concealed: "Why are you here?"
Shen Jin replied from upstairs: "In addition to installing bombs, what else could we do?"
Wu Chan said: "Stand still."
As he spoke, he walked up and finally saw Shen Jin at the corner of the stairs.
Her back was against the wall, and the two ghost horns of the ghost face were glowing red.
Wu Chan said: "Your ghost horn has reached its limit."
Shen Jin said: "Yes, I know."
Wu Chan said: "You should change it now."
After he finished speaking, he realized that of course Shen Jin knew that he should change the ghost horn, but she didn't change it...
"Where are your other two ghost horns?"
Shen Jin said: "I lost it accidentally."
Wu Chan: "!"
