The Exorcist

Chapter 58 Unexpected Reinforcements

Guan Zheng stood condescendingly and stopped three feet in front of Ruan Zhan. Many complicated expressions such as wariness, suspicion, nervousness and contempt flashed across his face, but he did not take a step closer.

But Ruan Zhan was still as motionless as a fossil.

After a full minute, Guan Zheng hesitated and then raised his feet to enter the empty circle in front of Ruan Zhan.

But although he walked in, he did not attack Ruan Zhan. He just walked slowly around him, while continuing to chant spells to summon the gu in Ruan Zhan's body, while urging the monsters who had been on the periphery to get closer.

In Xiao Xia's anxious eyes, those monsters tentatively approached Ruan Zhan. Because of Guan Zheng's urging and Ruan Zhan's silence, the monsters gradually became bolder and got closer and closer to Ruan Zhan's position, and some even climbed onto his body.

At this point, Guan Zheng was finally relieved. He walked in front of Ruan Zhan, stopped all actions, and thought for a moment, as if he was considering how to torture him. Finally, he took out one of the small bamboo tubes hanging around his waist and pulled off the lid.

"This is my most powerful voodoo. I never thought I would give you a try today." He said as he glanced at Xiao Xia and Wan Li, who were anxiously watching at the 'window', and shook the thing in his hand proudly, "Have you seen a honeycomb? A moment later. You will see the human honeycomb, and this handsome guy will not die and become a handsome honeycomb guy walking around, haha——"

He laughed loudly, raised his hand, and was about to pour the Gu worms in the small bamboo tube onto Ruan Zhan's head, but at the moment when dozens of black bean-like Gu worms were poured out, something happened. Protrude!

Ruan Zhan, who seemed to have turned into a stone statue, suddenly jumped up. He held out a talisman with his left hand, sending a spark in the air and heading straight for the Gu worm. While with his right hand, he swung the bloody wooden sword straight at Guan Zheng. .

"I knew you were faking it!" Guan Zheng yelled and backed away quickly. He pulled out a black wooden stick from his waist with one hand to parry the bloody wood sword that flew down from the air. He tried to take it back with the other hand to avoid being burned by the talisman fire. of worms.

However, the Blood Wood Sword did not hit Guan Zheng. Instead, it suddenly swept downwards in mid-air and slashed towards Guan Zheng's waist in his panic. Guan Zheng was shocked. He knew that although the Blood Wood Sword was a wooden sword, it was an indestructible weapon in Ruan Zhan's hands. If he didn't hide, he would have to be cut in half. So, he didn't care about those Gu insects anymore and hurriedly swung his stick to block them. The Gu insects that he worked so hard to refine were ruthlessly burned to ashes by the talisman fire before they could take effect.

However, the collision between the black wood stick and the blood wood sword that he expected did not come. Instead, he felt a drop on his waist, and a "plop" sounded in his ears.

"It's broken!" He thought, his heart dropped instantly, and he immediately realized that he had finally been fooled by Ruan Zhan.

The next second, he looked down - sure enough, his snare drum had been cut in half and could no longer be used. In other words, he could no longer control those snakes, insects, rats and ants!

"So you brought me here just to destroy my baby!" Guan Zheng gritted his teeth.

"It seems to be working." Ruan Zhan sneered and looked around.

Since the snare drum was destroyed, those animals, ghosts, insects, and snakes had escaped Guan Zheng's control. Their survival instinct caused them to flee in all directions, and they disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"What a skill you have!"

Ruan Zhan said nothing and gave him acquiescence.

When Guan Zheng summoned the Gu in his body, he didn't feel it. On the contrary, the pain, like entering a meat grinder, was almost unbearable. However, he understood that if he could not withstand it, Wanli and Xiaoxia would not be able to wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then they would completely fail.

And he tried his best to resist the poison in his body, just to wait for the best time to fight back.

He knew from the beginning that his fire spell could not stop Guan Zheng, because Guan Zheng's skill was definitely powerful enough to use everything in this mountain forest. And it is impossible to calculate how many dark things are hidden in a mountain forest. So he had no choice but to find a way to remove the firepower and destroy the tools he used to command these insects and animals.

What he learned was different from Guan Zheng's, but he knew that all laws were from the same origin. Summoning Yu Cai could not only be done by relying on witchcraft and spells. The key part was the small drum. It is not an ordinary drum. It must be cultivated like a Taoist magic weapon. Therefore, as long as it is destroyed, the attacks of those 'grass-headed soldiers' can be fundamentally cut off.

Everything is a mistake and a mistake. Just when he was suffering from being unable to get close to Guan Zheng, his poison broke out at an inappropriate time, which made Guan Zheng think he could attack him, but he didn't expect to fall into Ruan Zhan's plan. Ruan Zhan understands that there is a protective circle formed by innate aura around him. If Guan Zheng wants to kill him, he must enter this circle when he is at his weakest, then he can find a way to destroy the drum!

So he desperately endured the pain and anxiety, just waiting for the moment when Guan Zheng approached! Fortunately, when Guan was about to cast the honeycomb voodoo on him, he happened to suppress the ghost voodoo, so that he could complete his plan at once.

"Do you think you can defeat me like this? Childish!" Guan Zheng ripped off the half of the drum that looked like waste from his waist, and took a few steps back, facing Ruan Zhan from afar.

In terms of physical strength and fighting, he knew that he was no match for Ruan Zhan, and might not even be as good as Wan Li; in terms of strategy, he originally thought that what he did was flawless, and he didn't expect to be restrained everywhere. Fortunately, he had other methods , he is very confident that he is the top master in this mountain forest.

Out of Ruan Zhan's attack range, he began to run around wildly. People who didn't know thought he was scared away, but Ruan Zhan saw him tearing off all the bamboo tubes hanging from his waist while running. , dumping everything in the bamboo tube on the ground, looking like a desperate man. Moreover, he was still mumbling something.

Ruan Zhan stretched out his hand to remove the barrier and looked at his watch, "Be careful, he is going to control the vines to attack! It seems that we have to retreat while fighting." He took a deep look at Xiaoxia, "That flag is very heavy , but you must hold it back, because I guess there are souls who have been poisoned by Guan Zheng behind. Those things are only controlled by him alone and have nothing to do with the ruined drum, so you can't put it away yet. .can you?"

"OK!"

"Me?" Wan Li asked, moving his shoulders.

"Don't you value both wisdom and strength?" Ruan Zhan glanced at Wanli and saw that he was not injured. "You must follow me closely. As long as you arrive at the appointed place, as soon as reinforcements arrive at three o'clock in the evening, we will There is a possibility of victory.”

Before Wan Li could answer, the sound of footsteps sounded in his ears, and Guan Zheng ran back again. Although he was a little out of breath, he looked excited, "I'm tired of playing, you can die!" He said Yelled, waving his hands forward!

A chirping sound came from the sky, and wild vines unique to deep mountains and dense forests were seen springing out of the darkness like demonic snakes. Some were close to the ground, and some seemed to be swinging over, heading straight towards the three people. Roll it over!

In the blink of an eye, a wild vine had already rushed in front of the three people. Ruan Zhan stepped in front of it and slashed it horizontally without mercy with his bloodwood sword. It's just that the whole wild vine seemed to be alive. After a section was broken, the rest continued to dance strangely, trying to wrap him up. He had no choice but to keep swinging his sword until the wild vine that struck first was chopped into inch-long sections, revealing the roots behind it.

If you look closely, you can see that the root is strange. It actually has eyebrows and eyes, like a baby's face. As soon as you see it, you can tell that it is a strange poison made by Guan Zheng that transforms into a root and controls normal plants to become monsters.

At this time, more wild vines and unknown plants swept in quickly from all directions. For a moment, the place where the three people were was seemed to be a low-lying land, with green waves from all sides pouring in, and in an instant, To drown them.

At this time, it was too late to say anything, and there was no clever maneuvering. The last word was to fight a bloody path. So the three of them remained silent. Ruan Zhan and Wan Li faced each other with their backs facing each other, protecting Xiao Xia in the middle, and retreated to the west while fighting.

Ruan Zhan wielded the Blood Wood Sword in his right hand, and he chopped the rare treasures of this world horizontally and vertically like a woodcutter. As long as something passed by him, he would never let it go. All he saw was branches and leaves falling in front of him. As he retreated, the road he walked on was full of residual leaves.

Wanli on the other hand was not ambiguous. He used the wooden stick covered with charms and hit whatever he saw. When the vines and plants touched his stick, they would either be ignited by the flames emitted by the charms or be burned by them. The blue electric spark bounced aside. The place he passed slowly expanded into a thin line of fire.

Xiaoxia was protected by the two of them. Except for her feet being tangled in the weeds that came from sneak attacks, she did not encounter any major attacks. Even if she is entangled, Ruan Zhan will immediately strike with his sword, and the restraints under her feet will be immediately released. What was more difficult for her was to hold on to the broken flag. You must know that the metal flag was already very heavy and exceeded the pulling force of her slender arms. What's more, it was still hesitating, as if it refused to move.

Because as Ruan Zhan analyzed, behind those plants that were driven by evil spirits and seemed to be growing wantonly, there were dozens of ghosts following behind them, which caused the Broken Flag to have a great suction force and instinctively wanted to include them in it. .

She remembered Ruan Zhan's words and kept dragging the broken flag, so there was an obvious drag mark where she passed.

These three different trails extended side by side to the west with difficulty and slowness. No step along the way was easy, but the distance of a hundred meters made the three of them exhausted and out of breath, so they just gritted their teeth and persisted. But just as they were exhausted, another clearing appeared behind them.

The place was a small valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides. There was a small waterfall in front of it, and a small pool formed below. The only entrance was very narrow. Because Ruan Zhan and the others retreated, the surging vines and weeds suddenly appeared. I was blocked and couldn't catch up.

Guan Zheng followed behind, pointing at them with his hands stretched straight. Seeing that they had retreated into the valley and that the plants could not catch up, instead of being anxious, they laughed victoriously.

"Do you think you are the only ones who can design traps?" He changed his hands and drew strange circles in the air, "Waiting to become a Cocoon Man! Haha!"

I saw the movements of his hands becoming more and more urgent. Before the three of them could judge what he was going to do, they felt a tightness on their waists and were immediately pulled to the edge of the mountain wall by an extremely strong force. Before they had time to struggle, they I was entangled in wild vines several times.

"Don't struggle, it will only get tighter and tighter." Guan Zheng was no longer nervous at this time, and his face showed fatigue, relaxation and pride after defeating the enemy. "I saw you retreating to the west, so I knew you were going to Come to this little valley.”

Ruan Zhan struggled for a while, but it had no effect at all. Looking at Wan Li and Xiao Xia, they couldn't even struggle anymore. Xiaoxia kept remembering Ruan Zhan's words about holding on to the broken banner until he died, so he was tied together with the banner and was in good condition, while Wanli's lower limbs were completely wrapped and would be completely wrapped in a few moments. Still covered with 'creeping' vines.

"Ruan Zhan, you are so smart but you are fooled by your cleverness. Although you have investigated the surrounding environment, don't you know that I have lived here for many years and am not more familiar with it than you are? You think that this place is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has a narrow entrance, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. But I don’t know that the wild vines on the mountain walls here are numerous and tough, and they don’t need to be removed from the roots, making them easier to control. I used the Flying Gu technique to control these four walls as early as when you took the first step back here. It’s a wild vine. Haha, let’s be trapped by our own choices!”

Ruan Zhan still didn't speak. He felt like he was stuck in quicksand. The more he moved, the less free he became. He simply stopped, his thoughts racing in his mind.

The Bloodwood Sword was still in his hand, but Guan Zheng was more afraid of him, so the wild vines wrapped around his body were first rolled up around his waist and tied together with his arms, making it impossible for his hands to move at all. . But now those vines were climbing faster and faster, and they had slowly wrapped up the three people layer by layer. He was half buried, while Wan Li and Xiao Xia only had their heads exposed.

In an instant, he understood what Guan Zheng meant by 'human cocoon'. He was going to wrap them in vines and trap them like silkworms!

"Damn it, I didn't expect that I would turn into a cute, fat, white silkworm baby one day!" Wan Li was still talking and laughing freely at this time.

"The silkworms will not run out until they die. Let's see how long your nonsense will last!" Guan Zheng paced and walked a few meters into the valley to find a better angle to admire the man tied to the side mountain wall. cocoon'.

He looked at Xiaoxia.

Originally, Xiaoxia would not be wrapped up so quickly because she was protected by the Broken Banner, but she is much smaller than the two men, so now she is almost in sync with Wanli. It is just because of the banner that she is entangled in her. The vines on his body relaxed a little after being tight for a while, so they didn't have to be strangled like Wan Li to the point of being unable to breathe.

She was tied to Ruan Zhan's side. She was originally very panicked, but in the blink of an eye she saw Ruan Zhan beside her and stopped struggling. She felt inexplicably calm and no longer afraid.

Guan Zheng saw Xiao Xia's expression and realized that Xiao Xia's sweetheart was Ruan Zhan. He couldn't help but feel jealous. With a finger, the vines blocking Ruan Zhan's waist shrank suddenly, making Ruan Zhan vomit and almost vomited. A mouthful of blood!

"Are the ribs broken?" Guan Zheng smiled maliciously, "I can also make a cocoon of death. As long as I exert more force, the broken ribs will pierce the internal organs. Or do you want to turn the bones outward and make a hedgehog?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiaoxia, admiring her heartbroken expression that almost shed tears. He didn't know whether it was the joy of revenge or more sadness and loss.

Ruan Zhan stubbornly held back the blood that was about to spurt out of his throat. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought of a way to get out of trouble.

He raised his head, and before he could tell Wan Li how to cooperate, another person came into view first, a person standing at the entrance of the valley - a beautiful woman in red!

Reinforcements have arrived!

Although he knew that the reinforcements would never rescue them and were only here for his next plan, she finally arrived as promised.

As long as he finds a way to get rid of this bondage, he has a chance of winning!
