Chapter 249 Ghost

In the dead silence, Huaishi listened to the approaching footsteps in the distance, leaned on the tree trunk, and slowly slipped to the grass on the ground, breathing heavily.

The tingling feeling filling his guts now finally erupted, racking his consciousness with warning.

Too arrogant.

You shouldn't have taken that sword blow just now.

It didn't matter because he had high poison resistance, but he didn't expect that sword to be able to directly cut the holy mark. If it weren't for the fact that his stigmata was a special version prepared by crows, and its structure had unparalleled stability at the same level, if he cut it off with this sword, he might have turned into a vegetative state on the spot.

Without the ritual of the last advancement, he did not dare to guarantee that he would be reborn in this hell... And with the damage to the stigmata, the transformation efficiency of the mountain ghost began to decrease rapidly, and a large amount of plant vitality was lost in the body. Among them, the most intuitive impact is that the internal organs and muscles begin to undergo woody fibrosis.

Even if it is just a sign, it is enough to be alarming.

He sighed helplessly, raised his wrist, and made a cut. Soon, thick green blood dripped from his fingertips to the ground.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock, tick tock...

Amidst the faint sound of dripping water, blood quietly sank into the earth. As soon as a drop of blood fell into the soil, a plant suddenly grew out of the soil.

Due to the limitation of the source material absorbed by Huai Shi, the types are not very rich. They are all the flowers, plants, vines, thorns, trees, etc. that can be seen everywhere in the hell here.

Without exception, they are all poisonous enough to kill someone.

Relying on the vitality of the mountain ghost, a large number of strains sprouted quickly, and a layer of vague white hair quickly covered the barbs of the thorns. As Huaishi propped up his body and staggered forward, they sprouted in the dense forest. One after another, there are poisonous pools.

Unfortunately, today's Huaishi have no source of essence to further catalyze their infectious power. They can only rely on the excessive vitality in their bodies to multiply in large quantities, hoping that the quantity can make up for the shortcomings in offensiveness.

As a lot of vitality passed by, Huai Shi's face gradually turned pale, but her expression became brighter and brighter.

After removing a large amount of vitality that had now turned into a burden, the Mountain Ghost Stigmata was able to operate smoothly again, and the fibrosis in the internal organs and muscles also began to subside.

After hastily repairing the wound with silver-blood potion, Huaishi leaned on the bushes and couldn't help but laugh when she heard the faint screams and frightened shouts in the distance.

Has it started to work? .

When the second mercenary covered with sores and chickenpox was dragged out by his teammates and placed in the open space, everyone couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Some of the first four or five ascendants who entered the forest had faint acne marks on their faces. However, under the suppression of the stigmata and physical constitution, they only choked and did not look like the two unlucky ghosts. Also incapacitated.

"Surveillance shows he did not escape."

Xi Jiang lowered his head and glanced at the small screen in his hand, then raised his head and glanced at Guo Rui: "You gave me the advice for the job you took, what should I do? If you use us as cannon fodder, I won't dare to take your things anymore. , let’s turn around and leave.”

Guo Nu frowned and stared at Xi Jiang.

Xijiang also looked at him coldly.

After losing several people's hands and not even being able to drink any soup, he had reached the limit of his endurance.

Logically speaking, since the mission has failed, and we are not iron warriors, nor are we going to spread love, freedom and peace, the mercenaries should be like hyenas, and leave immediately if they can't get any benefit...

However, Guo Rui is now unable to advance or retreat.

He glanced back at Lin Yu behind him. Lin Yu didn't say a word, but just looked back at him indifferently.

Ever since Huai Shi escaped into the woods, she took out a small crucible and began to refine some unknown potion. Various invasive things were constantly being thrown in, and soon, the cry of a baby came from inside...

I guess I'm not cooking anything good.

If he withdraws from here, the relationship with the Lin family that he finally built up will definitely be completely ruined. Not to mention the complete failure of his plan to whitewash his retirement, this crazy woman will probably be angry with herself by then.

Thinking of the Lin family's past domineering style, he sighed and realized that he had no way out.

Still too anxious...

I'm used to being a wild dog. I can't wait to catch an olive branch when I see it falling. When I find something is wrong, I want to get off the boat, but I can't help myself anymore.

Just as Guo Rui was thinking about the attack plan, someone behind him suddenly suggested: "That guy's stigmata is plant-based, and he has a good location inside. Why don't we set fire to the forest... let's just burn that guy to death inside." ”

Before he finished speaking, Guo Rui and Xi Jiang looked back at the same time.

With a silly look in his eyes.

Xijiang looked back at Guo Rui with doubtful eyes: Are all the talents in your group like this? Where did you pick it up?

Guo Ruo's expression twitched and he said nothing. If it weren't for the excessive losses of the old brothers and the uneven quality of the newcomers, how could I have thought of quitting the mercenary business?

Soon, the person who made the suggestion noticed the crows around him looking towards him.

Those blood-red eyes became ferocious after hearing that he was going to burn the forest.

Countless pitch-black birds rose and fell like clouds, making shrill strange calls in the dense forest, making the proposer's face turn pale.

"Want to set a fire?"

Xijiang sneered and handed a lighter over: "Are you going?"

The person who made the suggestion shook his head repeatedly and took a few steps back.

"The only option is to attack by force."

Guo Rui finished his second cigarette, stamped out the cigarette butt, and made up his mind: "Let's attack together and capture that little bastard."

"Us?" Xi Jiang sneered: "Why? After so many years of separation, you still have the dream of being the leader?"

"Have you seen the relics on that little bastard?" Guo Rui raised his eyes and glanced at him expressionlessly: "I'll give you all the things. I don't want any of them."

Xijiang was stunned for a moment and frowned: "Are you sure?"

"Mu En, come here!" Guo Ruo shouted, and immediately an old and thin man walked out of the team. From the beginning to now, he had not moved a hand and was protected in the middle. He was obviously the backbone of the team.

Without Guo Rui's instructions, he raised his hand, and a phantom that looked like a dragon or a beast emerged from his hand. He opened his eyes and stared at the two people in front of him. At the moment when the phantom appeared, everyone was silent.

This is the projection of Haechi. As a witness of the abyss and a terrifying creature that judges large groups of disputes in hell, no one in front of him can lie. Everything he says will be fulfilled as an oath. If he violates it, he will be punished forever. Curse of the Abyss.

Knowing the preciousness of this opportunity, the two of them said what they had agreed upon at the same time, and the phantom of Haechi disappeared.

But Mu En looked older and older, stooped down, and was helped to the side.

"Are you satisfied?" Guo Nu asked coldly.

"I'm so relieved."

Xijiang laughed and waved, and the subordinate behind him opened the box and brought out a huge and ferocious lion mask. Countless hairs were flying like lightning, and his eyes were as stern as gods.

As the lion mask was put on Xi Jiang's face, his face suddenly came to life, as if he had really turned into a lion's head and body, breathing out two fiery breaths.

"Let's go."

He laughed, sharpened his knife, waved his hands and led his subordinates, and walked into the dense forest with Guo Rui and the others.

At that moment, Huai Shi suddenly opened his eyes while panting.

"coming."

Just when he was about to start lurking and spying, he felt a sudden shock on his finger, and the tiny darkness of the Ring of Nibelung instantly collapsed inward and condensed into substance.

Nurtured by Huai Shi's excessive vitality, the Ring of the Nibelungs finally extended the lower miracles from the ghosts from the mountain ghost's stigmata.

It's like there are fruits on the branches.

Huaishi waved her hand subconsciously and saw a shadow of nothingness suddenly emerge in the darkness in front of her. It showed a vague dim fog in the light place, but blended into the darkness in the dark place, making it difficult to distinguish the outline. .

When he stretched out his hand to touch it, he felt that it could pass through his chest. There was no substance at all, but his fingers seemed to fall into the mist, and he felt the unique coldness of negative source matter.

The complete ghost is not as perfect as Huai Shi imagined.

Or maybe he shouldn't regard the shadow as his past self at all. When he sees the most basic shadow now, he feels a little disappointed.

In terms of stealth and flexibility, it has no shortcomings. Without the constraints of the body, it is even much more flexible than its former self.

However, the attack power is very weak. There is only one move, which is to forcefully force the negative essence of oneself through - it is okay to use it to torture ordinary people, but forget about the rest.

It is not very pure in quantity and quality, and is within the resistance of any level of sublime. Compared with the huge accumulation that could almost condense into flames, it seemed much weaker.

It's good for being used as eyes and ears, but its actual combat effectiveness is beyond expectations.

There are only stigmata, no soul, no way of thinking and judgment of its own, and can only execute some simple commands, like a robot that can walk and carry some things on its own.

Just when Huai Shi was disappointed, he felt the Book of Destiny suddenly shake. He subconsciously took out the book, followed the guidance, and slapped Yin Hun on the head.

Snapped!

Two phantoms of nothingness actually collided together, and a crisp sound burst out as the source matter circulated.

Immediately afterwards, the silver quill·Thing Branch flew out on its own and landed on Yin Hun's blurred face, quickly sketching a face that Huai Shi had not expected.

Pale skin, lips that had lost too much blood, and raised unruly eyebrows.

When the pupils opened, the branches of events revealed two turquoise eyes that were like will-o'-the-wisps, the ghost seemed to have come alive, was given a soul, and raised its eyes from its deep sleep.

His eyes became dark and alert.

As if waking up from a long dream, he didn't know where he was, but soon he realized his true nature and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"So that's what it is..."

The man once named Red Glove nodded slowly, looked at Huai Shi, and asked bluntly: "Where is the enemy?"

"right here."

After a moment of silence, Huai Shi smiled happily, spread out his arms, and showed the dark forest behind him and the faintly approaching footsteps:

"Everyone is an enemy except you and me."

I'm a bit stuck today, so I'll think about it carefully and try my best to update it twice.
