The light comes from the many charms painted by Dao Ruan Zhan. These paper objects were not damaged by the river water. Instead, they stood upright in the water like small transparent sails, forming a circle with Ruan Zhan placed in it. Ruan Zhan's situation at this time is obviously not optimistic, and it should be said that he is barely holding on. His left hand pointed straight ahead firmly, and his entire right arm and legs were tightly entangled in water plants. Those aquatic plants were dense and tough, squirming strangely as if they were alive. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be densely long hair, gripping Ruan Zhan like countless ghost claws, and some even tried to tear off the oxygen tube on the diving suit.
Obviously Ruan Zhan did not expect that the resentful spirits would successfully merge, so he was at a disadvantage from the beginning. Although he is still holding on tenaciously, he will definitely be consumed in the water if this continues!
Xiaoxia didn't have time to think, so she quickly opened the cardboard box that she had been holding tightly in her arms, and found that the candle rabbit had melted automatically. Now in front of her eyes was a two-inch long candle with tadpoles on it. blood red wooden sword with spell.
She held the small hilt of the sword carefully, not knowing what to do. But when she was hesitating, the vague 'figure' who had been standing outside the spell circle with his back to her suddenly realized that someone was disturbing her. It remained motionless, but turned its head 180 degrees to face Xiaoxia. It had disheveled hair that only people in the late Qing Dynasty would comb, and the flesh on its face was rotten to pieces. There were even water plants floating and small fish swimming by. The bottomless eye holes without eyeballs stared at Xiao Xia fiercely. The corners of his mouth twitched.
"Death to those who meddle in other people's business!" Although it didn't make a sound, Xiaoxia understood what it was going to say. In an instant, she knew that it was the culprit of the whole thing, the scholar with so much resentment!
It rushed towards Xiaoxia quickly. Xiaoxia closed her eyes and raised her hands subconsciously. The small wooden sword suddenly became normal size and burst out with a dazzling red light, forcing the scholar ghost to flee in a hurry, even Ruan Zhan, who was restrained in the distance, The water plants also shrieked and disappeared into nothing. However, at the same time, Xiaoxia's protective bubble also disappeared, making her feel water pressure and suffocation, from the air environment to the edge of drowning.
She wanted to get closer to Ruan Zhan, swimming desperately and struggling to move forward in the direction of Ruan Zhan, but the violent current pushed her further and further away from him, and she was about to fall into darkness again.
Ruan Zhan had seen Xiaoxia a long time ago, but he was on the verge of life and death and could not take care of her. Seeing that she was about to become a snack for evil spirits waiting for opportunities, he had no choice but to turn the nearest talisman into an invisible rope to quickly pull Xiaoxia to his side, and take off the oxygen mask to cover her face.
Xiao Xia took a deep breath, feeling suffocated and she didn't want to do it a second time.
At this time, the evil ghosts who were watching eagerly saw this rare opportunity and broke the protective circle that lacked a talisman. They were immediately surrounded by the darkness that they could not see, and all kinds of sounds suddenly sounded around them. Sounds of crying and laughter.
Woo--
Whistle-like whistling sounded intermittently in their ears, the water surging around them seemed like countless hands caressing and pulling them, and the approaching waves of gloomy cold air seemed to bury them. Under this water.
In this hell-like darkness, they are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and Ruan Zhan is the only hope for survival. So even though Xiaoxia was scared to death, she still consciously groped Ruan Zhan's face, used the oxygen mask in turn, handed the Blood Wood Sword into his hand, and walked around behind Ruan Zhan in order not to hinder Ruan Zhan's movements.
In the cold river water, through the thick diving suit, Xiaoxia seemed to still be able to feel the warmth of Ruan Zhan's body and the strong and steady heartbeat, which made her more confident in defeating the scholar ghost.
Ruan Zhan held the Blood Wood Sword and tried his best to feel the evil atmosphere in the darkness. While he was wary of the attack from the evil spirits at any time, he fumbled to remove the oxygen cylinder and hang it on Xiaoxia's body, and put it on her body. With the whistle in his arms, he slowly swam in the opposite direction. He intuitively believed that the whistle was not malicious, so he immediately decided to trust it.
Although he knew that he would definitely put an end to that resentful spirit today, its unexpected success in merging doubled its power, causing him to suffer a hidden loss from the beginning. If Xiaoxia hadn't suddenly appeared, he would have been killed. He will probably be trapped and die here.
Now his protective barrier is broken, but its barrier is surrounding the water waves, which will swallow them up at any time, or make it impossible for them to escape. Of course, the Blood Wood Sword can kill such a level of resentful spirit, but it cleverly hides in the darkness so that he cannot find it. The long-term self-sealing makes his ability sleep in the body, and he is currently unable to fully use the Blood Wood Sword. The power of the sword, not to mention he was taking Xiao Xia with him who shared an oxygen tank. If this continued, they would drown in the river due to lack of oxygen.
Now he can only hope that the next section of the river that suddenly becomes shallower will allow Xiaoxia to leave, and he can give it a try. The problem is that the oxygen content determines that he does not have that long, and he cannot break through the barrier while also dealing with its deadly attack.
Suddenly, the Blood Wood Sword began to buzz and tremble, making him realize that within its lid-like barrier there were not only pursuers behind him, but also something blocking the way in front.
Are they the innocent souls it controls?
He doesn't know. He could only take out the last talisman for self-defense and cast it on their heads, so that the light radiated from the talisman could illuminate a distance of at least a few meters in radius.
What stood in front of them was a stone box, right on the edge of the barrier. Due to its age, the stone box half sunk in the mud at the bottom of the river has become covered with moss. Its lid was tightly closed, but at this moment there were knocking sounds from inside, as if something was trying to struggle out. But the resentful spirit that had been following them became very nervous after seeing the stone box, and approached regardless of the danger.
All this made Ruan Zhan excited. He knew that the burial place of the scholar he had never found was here. He vaguely felt that he could take advantage of the panic of the resentful spirit to solve the problem. Although it was dangerous, it was very promising to succeed.
At the same time, the evil scholar realized that his destiny had been exposed, so he rushed over desperately. Knowing that it could not compete with the power of the Blood Wood Sword, it transformed into countless small water plants and shot towards him like sharp swords. Ruan Zhan, who was still unable to fully exert the power of the Blood Wood Sword, was in a hurry. Blood oozed from the injured area and stabbed him. The water plants on his body turned into ferocious little devils with sharp ears and sharp mouths, squeaking and crawling into his body. Some of them even wanted to bite Xiao Xia behind Ruan Zhan.
Xiaoxia was scared to death, but she couldn't stay away from Ruan Zhan and watched him choke to death. At this moment, her mind was very clear. While avoiding the attack of the imp, she was sending oxygen to Ruan Zhan from behind. Then when he was sure that Ruan Zhan could hold his breath for a while, he rushed to the stone box that had been shaken loose by the dancing blood wood sword, and pushed open the lid with force.
She was stunned!
The stone box is not big enough, and the white bones inside are horribly twisted, but the hair and teeth are intact. One is floating with the water, and the other is tapping fiercely, as if chewing something. There are many bundles of hair at the feet of the bones, and they are making a creaking sound at the moment, trying to crawl out one after another.
The weirdest thing is that there is a bright red heart in the chest of the white bones!
Thump, thump, thump!
