Chapter 9 Vampire Mummy

"I'll give you one minute. If you don't open the Well of Bones, I'll kill you all." Another leader spoke.

The villagers trembled and remained silent, obviously very afraid of these people, but they persisted and refused to give in. I directed Ye Ying to move forward a little, and then said to the villagers, "How about we discuss something?"

An older woman among the villagers, holding a simple long bow, came out and asked in a trembling voice: "What do you want, sir?"

"You should have noticed that I am different from the adults around me. I am just passing by. I didn't know Miss Sayoko originally, but your behavior made me curious about her. If I help you, in the end Can I meet this lady?"

"Sir, Miss Sayoko does not see outsiders."

"Why don't you go and ask? Maybe she is in a good mood today and wants to meet a foreigner?"

"this……!"

"Is it okay to try it without asking? Is it okay to kill all these guys and then let them rush in and snatch the lady away?"

"Hey, who are you? You dare to stop us from the Thirty-sixth House?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is their answer, I'm waiting." My eyes were locked on the old woman, giving her enough pressure.

She seemed to be too scared, so she had to nod and said: "Let me ask." Then she turned around and ran to the mouth of the well, and then said something to the strange well.

Before she could reply, a lord couldn't wait any longer. "One minute is up. Let me ask you one last time, do you want to open the well and let us in, or do you want us to kill them all and then smash open the well?"

The elderly woman suddenly turned around and said to me: "I'm sorry, sir, but the lady said she can't see outsiders."

He is indeed a very proud ghost. Such a request was not received. In this case, being a flower protector will not work, so I will change my career to a gangster. In a sense, the ultimate goal of the gangster and the flower protector should be the same, but they choose different methods due to different conditions. If the lady agreed to my suggestion, I could of course kill these people from the Thirty-six Houses and become the flower protector, but she didn't agree, so I had to join them as a gangster.

I nodded: "You don't have to apologize. This is just your choice. But according to your choice, my choice is also completed simultaneously." I looked to the side: "Shall we start? What are you waiting for?"

Those people looked at each other, then glared at me with disdain, and then rushed forward together to start a one-sided massacre. Although there were hundreds of villagers, they were no more than tofu in front of those soldiers. Besides, each of the Thirty-Six Prefectures had only a few people, but the Thirty-Six Prefectures together were quite a lot. Although the villagers resisted desperately, most of them were eventually wiped out.

"Won't you help?" Ling asked me.

I asked Ling: "What is your definition of an enemy that must be eliminated?"

"Those who threaten my interests are enemies. But the only enemies that must be eliminated are those that have no use value."

"Great, so look at these people. Does anyone fit this criteria?"

"I generally understand." Ling nodded and stopped talking.

The people in the Thirty-sixth House are currently helping me open the way to Miss Sayoko. Before completing this work, they are basically helping me, so I should not touch them at this time. As for the villagers, they're the ones blocking me from reaching my goal so far. But since someone is helping, why should I intervene?

All the villagers died one after another, and finally only the old woman stood in the well and continued to resist. Only now did I discover that there was a closed partition about one meter below the edge of the well. At first I thought it would go all the way to the ground. The old woman stood on the partition and shot with a bow. So far, only two ninja soldiers have died in the Thirty-sixth House, and they were all shot to death by this old woman. The gap between the two sides is really too big!

"Old guy, let me ask you one last time, can you open the well?" the lord asked fiercely at first.

The old woman didn't say anything, but suddenly took out a piece of talisman and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Quick!" a lord shouted.

With a click, the old woman's head half holding the talisman rolled out of the well, with her eyes open and holding the talisman.

The lord who shouted out sighed: "Fortunately, I acted quickly. Let her swallow the earth-possessing talisman and it will be over. The door sealed with the soul cannot be pried open for three to five years."

"What are you afraid of?" A guy next to him laughed at the lord. "Isn't your Incheon Prefecture known as the best hole driller in the world? Hahahaha..."

"You can chat slowly when you are free. I will take Miss Sayoko away today."

"Fuck you, everyone knows what their strength is, and it is impossible to monopolize it today. How about we divide the thirty-six houses?"

"Go away. Our Tianshui family will not let go of this opportunity to improve our strength."

An older samurai said: "Everyone, be quiet. Miss Sayoko's power is very powerful, but it is not easy to absorb it. And if there is a fight over her, the winner may not have a chance to fight for the throne. I think it’s better to divide it according to the original proposal. To be fair, we can grind Ms. Sayoko into fine powder. Then mix it evenly. Everyone will distribute it according to weight. In this way, you don’t have to complain about the different functions of the parts you get. "

The ghost lords were having a lively discussion, but the more I listened, the tighter my brows became. At first, I thought that Miss Sayoko might have extraordinary strength. Everyone wanted to recruit her back, but later they thought that maybe these guys wanted to marry Sayoko and then draw some special benefits from her. Now it seems that they plan to eat her and directly transform her into their own power.

The guys discussed the matter as if we didn't exist, and then started digging the well. This time their behavior made me strange again. Instead of digging a hole from the well, they dug up from the outside. After a while, all the soil near the wellhead was dug out. At this time, I finally understood why these guys didn't dig from the middle of the well. It turns out that the top of the well is only one meter deep. To be precise, it is not the wellhead at all, but a large tank half buried underground. There is a finger-thick pipe at the bottom of the tank that goes deep into the ground. Those guys were digging down the pipe.

After digging twenty or thirty meters deep, we finally found something new. There is an object made of stone buried here, which is about the same size as a refrigerator selling cold drinks, but it is placed vertically. The pipe above is connected to this thing. At first I thought this might be a coffin, but then I thought it was too small, and then I thought it might be hyperspace, just like a wine shop in the game, small on the outside but big on the inside.

Hyperspace will be disconnected from the main space the moment it is destroyed. Ordinarily, these guys should use a gentler method to open this thing. But what surprised me even more was that they actually picked up a hoe and started smashing this thing. Not to mention, these stones are really hard. After being smashed for a long time, they only cracked a little bit.

A lord stepped forward anxiously and pushed away the soldiers. "I'll do it." As he said that, he took out his knife and sharply slashed at the side of the stone. With a click, the top of the stone box disappeared. But there was no space visible inside. Instead, the top cover of a wooden box was revealed.

The men lowered the big stone box and pulled out the wooden box from inside. This thing is completely made of a kind of wood with beautiful patterns. The appearance is not 'colored', and the natural wood grain can be seen. There are no carvings or decorations on the surface of the box. But the polishing was so careful that even the seams could not be found. The box is rectangular, about ninety centimeters high, fifty centimeters wide and only forty centimeters thick. Several lords all gathered around. Pushed the soldiers aside. The older lord is also the strongest, so he is the one to open the wooden box.

The wooden box is not as hard as stone and can be easily pried open. The things inside excited the lords, but made me almost faint. I thought this Miss Sayoko was a beautiful female ghost. At least she was a beautiful succubus. Unexpectedly, what was inside the box was a brownish-red mummy. Now I kind of know why these guys are grinding this Miss Sayoko into powder. She looks like this. I guess those ghost lords need a pair of good teeth if they want to eat. No one can chew her without grinding her into powder.

I heard that Japan has this practice of burying living people underground to make mummies, but that seems to be done by eminent monks, and those buried are usually very old and prestigious eminent monks. When these eminent monks know that they are about to pass away, they will put themselves in a box and bury them underground with only a breathing tube outside. This behavior is voluntary. After a period of time, the eminent monk dies in the box and slowly turns into a mummy, then a temple can be built and worshiped inside. This kind of mummy is the flesh Buddha, claiming to be able to bless the people nearby.

There was obviously something very wrong with the mummy in front of me. First, this is the underworld, not the human world, and this behavior is quite abnormal. Second, those buried were all eminent monks. No monk would be called Miss Sayoko, right? But what's the point of burying a woman? third. Even the eminent monk only told people to bury him a few days in advance when he was about to die. This woman was called Miss Sayoko. Then she should be young. How could there be any reason to bury a little girl? Fourth, this mummy turned out to be a stick, with no limbs on the body, only a head. Apparently, the limbs had been cut off before being buried. What is the reason for such cruel behavior? Fifth, the old woman seemed to have communicated with her just now for instructions. Did she lie to me or is this mummy still thinking?

Just when I was very confused, one of the lords suddenly screamed, and the other lords retreated to give way to a circular area. I saw that the lord seemed to be struggling while holding something. It wasn't until he turned around that I could clearly see the reason. The ground he was holding was the mummy. However, a closer look revealed that he was not holding the mummy, but trying to push it away. . The mummy was clinging to him, biting his neck, as if sucking something.

Could it be blood-sucking? I understood immediately. Miss Sayoko should be performing some kind of ritual to improve her strength. Unfortunately, these people discovered it in advance, so she was unable to complete the ritual.

Just under the watchful eyes of everyone, the lord began to tremble, and all the armor on his arms suddenly fell off. It turned out that his body was rapidly drying up, and the arms that turned into mummies could no longer hold the armor in place, so all the armor fell off. Sayoko's mummy let go of the lord and threw his mummy out. After the body fell to the ground, the exposed withered arms quickly turned into gray sand. Being able to suck people dry is nothing, vampires can do this trick, but being able to suck even the body where mana has been condensed into sand is really amazing.

After the first victim fell, the mummy immediately rushed towards the second target, causing chaos in the area. Those guys hurriedly distanced themselves and reorganized into formation, but by this time there were already more than ten piles of sand on the ground. What makes me strange is that after absorbing the power of so many people, the mummy of Sayoko is still a mummy. There is no major change except that the color of the skin has become lighter.

Because those lords ran far away. We became the latest target. I originally thought that this mummy would not come close to us, but unexpectedly she flew towards us without hesitation. Ling raised his staff and stood in front of me. "Nine-pointed starry sky."

A nine-pointed star appeared in front of us, and with a flash of golden light, the mummy immediately screamed and turned around and rushed towards a group of lords next to it. She is indeed smart, at least she knows that we are the ones she can't afford to offend.

The lords who had organized their troops over there no longer panicked, and calmly directed the soldiers to retreat while they rushed to the front. Not how great these lords are. They will never regard these soldiers as more important than themselves. The reason why they have to take the lead in such a dangerous situation shows that they are afraid of death. In the current situation, even a fool can see that the mummy of Sayoko is sucking blood, and in all the legends about blood-sucking, the direct result is that the vampire will become stronger and stronger. The lords did not let the soldiers rush forward first because they were afraid that Sayoko would absorb too many soldiers and become too strong for them to deal with. It's better to go first. If you can win, you'll be lucky, and if you fail, there's nothing you can do about it.

There are only thirty-five lords left in the Thirty-Six Houses, and they all seem to have good fighting capabilities. The mummy of Sayoko was jumping up and down while fighting with him, but he could barely hold on. However, the situation soon changed. One of the lords was stumbled by a hole that had just been blasted on the ground while avoiding it. As a result, Sayoko's mummy bit the guy's neck. The surrounding lords didn't care about this lord at all. On the ground of life and death, he rushed forward and chopped at random, trying to kill Sayoko and that guy together. Anyway, their thirty-six mansions are also hostile to each other. If they have fewer people, they can gain more points. It's a pity that Sayoko is too fast. As soon as they chopped down, Sayoko flew away first. Although that lord was not sucked into sand by Sayoko, he was slashed too many times by other lords and died at the hands of his companion just now.

When the lords saw Sha Yezi flying away, they immediately rushed forward. However, Sha Yezi suddenly rushed out from among them and once again pounced on the dead lord and breathed heavily. When the lords reacted, the lord's body was already there. It turned into sand. What's even more frightening is that after finishing sucking the lord, Sayoko actually flew to the threshing floor outside the village. The bodies of the villagers who had just been killed were piled on the ground there. In the underworld. Ghosts will leave corpses behind when they die, but they will not rot. But it slowly dissipates. Just now in order to dig out Sha Yezi, the corpses were cleared to the outside. Now Sha Yezi got into the pile of corpses, startling the surrounding lords.

The pile of corpses deflated before his eyes, and then turned into a pile of sand. After a while, Jin squirmed in the sand, and the mummy flew out again. The difference was that all her limbs had grown out.

"It seems to have evolved." Ling said next to me.

Yeyue said with a face full of confusion: "The creatures in the underworld all carry the aura of death. This mummy has absorbed so much death aura that it should have stiffened and turned into stone. How come it actually produced a large amount of death aura?" Are you angry?"

"angry?"

"Yes." Yeyue said: "Master, you also know that I am a descendant of Nuwa, and I have a strong sense of life. At the beginning, this mummy was just like the surrounding rocks and fields, it was a dead thing. But after absorbing so many dead souls, he becomes more and more human-like."

Amynis said: "Could it be that things must be reversed at their extremes, and if they absorb too much Yin Qi, all of it will be converted into Yang Qi?"

"Only ghosts really know this!"

Sayoko's mummy rushed out again, but this time the target was the soldiers brought by the lord. Sayoko became smarter as she learned more. She knew she couldn't defeat these lords, so she decided to attack those around her first, planning to deal with these lords one by one when she had accumulated enough strength. However, although soldiers are not as powerful as lords, they are combatants after all, and they are not so easy to deal with. Take advantage of this opportunity. One of the lords pointed at us and shouted: "Kill them first so they don't take advantage of us later."

The other lords looked at each other, and all rushed towards me, leaving Sayoko to the soldiers to deal with. Scott led the ring knights to stand in front of me, and then waited for the lords to rush over. The two sides collided with each other, and after a crackling explosion, twenty-one lords flew back, while the ring knights Stand in the same position as before. The remaining lords took a look at the situation. So he waved everyone back. They looked at us warily for a few times, and then they all ran back to deal with Sayoko with the soldiers, no longer interested in us.

Scott smiled: "I can take care of eight of these trashes by myself."

I pointed at Sayoko. "What about her?"

"Currently, I can handle two of them by myself, but if she increases her strength at this rate, I won't be able to defeat her in a while."

I smiled after listening to Scott's words. "I'm becoming more and more interested in her."

Sayako, who was fighting with the soldiers over there, was still busy observing the environment. She also saw the situation where the lords suffered losses and were beaten back. After sucking up three soldiers in a row, Sayoko suddenly flew away from the encirclement and flew towards us. Scott raised his spear horizontally. But Sayoko suddenly stopped a few meters in front of us and did not come over. She opened and closed her skull-like jaw, and she could actually make sounds. "Are you the one who wanted to see me before?"

I nodded slightly.

"Help me kill them together. I'd like to talk to you."

The lords chased after Sayoko and sandwiched her between us and them, but because Scot's side was in an attacking posture, they did not dare to move.

I looked at those people, then stretched out a finger to Sayoko and shook it: "That was before. At that time, I was just curious. Now that I have seen what you look like, you can't let me worry about what I have already obtained. Pay again.”

"So what do you want?"

"Let me think about it." I pointed at Ling and Yeyue with my left and right hands respectively: "If you can reach their level after sucking them dry, I can consider accepting you as a magic pet or spirit control."

Sayoko didn't say anything more, turned around and rushed towards the lords. It obviously means that negotiations have broken down. I continued to watch the excitement from the side. It didn’t matter who won in the end anyway.

The combat capabilities of those lords are pretty good, but unfortunately their shortcomings are also obvious. None of them can fly. Sayoko's mummy can move back and forth in mid-air at a very fast speed. She can decide the location and timing of her attack at will, but those lords can only wait until she attacks before they can fight back.

Sayako obviously targeted the soldiers. After taking the lords around for a few times, he began to look for opportunities to suck out one or two soldiers from time to time. Seeing that almost all the soldiers brought by these lords had been sucked out. Even the personal warriors of individual lords were killed. Compared with the decrease in the number of people here, Sayoko is getting more and more powerful. The mummy had obviously begun to swell after continuously feeding on so many people. The most obvious thing was that her hair had turned from gray to jet black, and her face had begun to look fleshy, no longer a skull-like head.

It didn't take long for all the lords to become bare commanders, and several lords were lost during this period. In the end, only twenty-nine lords were left to confront Sayoko. Now Sayako can already be seen looking like a woman, but she is still too thin by human standards. It's different from starting to get naked. Now she had found a set of rags belonging to the dead villagers and wrapped them up. At first she was just a mummy. It's nothing, now it's not in good taste to be naked anymore.

As the strength of both sides waxes and wanes. Sayoko solved these lords faster and faster, and the last ten remaining lords tried to run away, but they were all dead before they took 200 steps. What a bunch of rubbish, they were so quick to deal with the villagers, but the ones who got into trouble were killed so quickly. Calculating that it had only taken less than thirty minutes since Sayoko left the wooden box, what kind of speed is this?

At this time, Sayoko has no ghost image at all. Although the clothes on her body are extremely tattered and ill-fitting, Sayoko's own beauty will not be covered by these clothes. This woman, or rather this female ghost, has a very beautiful face. Chinese men like small and petite women, because this can arouse the male's desire for protection and at the same time satisfy the psychological needs of machismo. Sayoko's appearance just captures the essence of Japanese women. She is slim, compact, and has delicate facial features. This kind of image is quite in line with the aesthetic needs of Chinese men. International beauty pageants may not be expected, but if Chinese men are asked to choose the appearance of their dream lover, at least seven out of ten will choose this type.

In addition to exquisite facial features and compact figure, good skin is also the key to a woman. There are two main points of skin, one is the degree of detail, and the other is the color. The fineness of the skin mainly depends on the skin folds and pores. The fineness of Sayoko's skin is unparalleled, and there are almost no skin appendages. In terms of color, the main thing is white. Fair-skinned women have always been men's natural enemies, but Sayoko's skin is really too white. It's right to think about it. She is a female ghost, and her normal color is pale skin. If she has blood color, she is a human.

While I was looking at Sayoko, she was also looking at us. The difference was that she was not as relaxed as me and could observe how beautiful she was. What she is doing is to evaluate the combat effectiveness of our people present. She wants to know whether she has a chance of winning if there is a fight, and whether there is a possibility of running away if she really fails. But after looking at it for a long time, her brows wrinkled.

There were neither many nor few people on our side, and she couldn't sense our strength from our breath. Just kidding, Amynis, the illusory goddess, is right next to me. She can't even hide her breath, so I might as well buy a piece of tofu and hit her to death. However, although the aura cannot be determined, the image and the previous contact gave her a general understanding of us. The Ring Knights had just beaten those lords head-on, and they didn't block any of their moves. It was obvious that the Ring Knights were much stronger than those lords. Sayako has already encountered Ling's defensive barrier once. Instant magic is definitely not the peak strength of a spell caster, so Sayako can probably understand Ling's magic level. The others basically didn't take action, but Sayoko was probably sure that I, the central character, would not be simple. The other two people she was afraid of were Xiao Longnu and Ye Yue. The little dragon girl is a divine dragon. Although the revolving door cannot restrain ghosts, the shock effect is still there. Yeyue is also a descendant of Nuwa after all. The fluctuation of life force is what the undead are most impressed by, and she will not be able to feel it.

After analyzing for a long time, Sayoko still thinks that we are difficult to touch. Even though she has absorbed a lot of power, she is still not sure of defeating us.
