There was no way forward and no way back. We were trapped in the middle and were in a dilemma. No matter who these guys are, we won't just wait for death. We are still descendants of Taoist priests.
I took out the Bone and Blood Blade and prepared to chant the Golden Light Spell. Then, I cut my hand and activated it with blood. However, Li Xiangling stopped me.
She quickly explained to me in detail," Su Li, these things aren't humans, nor are they ghosts. They should be the legendary undeads. I heard from my master that undeads are formed when their souls disappear and their bodies remain after death. After the decay, only their bones are left. They are the minions controlled by the Evil Sky Organization's Corpse King. These things have great restraint on your Bone Blood Blade and my rolling pin. At the very least, they can't be destroyed.”
I didn't expect Li Xiangling to know so much. I was ashamed of myself. The subordinates of the Corpse King were attacked by me so quickly. I still didn't know much about their organization, so I didn't know how to deal with them.
Second Uncle had indeed said that the Bone Blood Saber that had been fused with Zi Yan's blood was used to deal with evil ghosts, and ghosts definitely had souls. However, these skeletons were simply a group of walking corpses without souls. They had no ability to think or distinguish, and only followed the instructions of the Corpse King.
Right, there was still one more hope, and that was Lu Banshu!
However, I was also doubtful about whether this book had any information about dealing with undeads. Moreover, I needed time to prepare for the last minute. Now that the skeletons were already in front of me, I didn't have time to flip through the book.
"Chapter 7, first section, bewitching technique.”
Zi Yan, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly reminded me of such a crucial sentence in my heart. It was as if I had obtained a precious treasure. I didn't have time to thank her and quickly took out the wooden box, cut my finger, and opened the Book of Luban. I directly flipped to the seventh chapter.
"Xiangling, help me hold on for a while!"
The undeads were already close, so I could only shout for Li Xiangling to fight to the death to buy me a little time to learn.
" There is a limit to reality and emptiness. The most important thing is the great void. The most important thing is to fight with the mind. The most important thing is to be tough. The most important thing is to be confused…"
With my full concentration, I felt as though I had only read it once, but I had also memorized the contents. The core of the bewitching technique was to temporarily disrupt the enemy's mind, causing them to be unable to complete their set goal. It was especially suitable for situations where the enemy's mind was pedantic and blindly followed orders.
And these skeletons had no consciousness at all. They were driven by the Corpse King, and were indeed the best targets for this bewitching technique.
Li Xiangling's rolling pin did not have much of an effect. The light it emitted could only hit the skeleton back, but it could not stop the other undeads from approaching. Walking up to them, the empty facial features appeared, making one's hair stand on end. Every skeleton that had lost its flesh and skin seemed to look the same. If one did not see it with their own eyes, one would think that they were from outer space. Their eyes, nose, and ears were all empty.
" Su Li, come quickly..." Li Xiangling could not hold on any longer. The white bones had already clamped her rolling pin and torn her robe.
I hid behind her, but the two of us were already surrounded by white bones on three sides. Only the side of the wall that we had retreated to could temporarily shelter us.
It was too late. I didn't completely understand the meaning of the incantation, so I could only copy it and recite it all. Then, I picked up the Blood Bone Blade and used all my strength to pierce through those hard bones. The effect wasn't very great. Human bones were very hard, not inferior to my blood-condensed blade.
However, the movement of the undeads gradually slowed down. After I finished chanting my incantation, all the undeads were like headless flies. They no longer surrounded us, but ran around everywhere. They quickly dispersed, and kept waving their fists and feet, using sharp fingers, toes, hard skulls, and watermelons.
Some directly hit their companions, accompanied by the crisp sound of bones breaking, and the rhythm of mutual destruction.
The entire tunnel was filled with skeletons. They were all blindly gesturing. I couldn't miss this opportunity. I pulled Xiang Ling and walked between them like needles. Sometimes, I couldn't avoid them, so I used the Bone Blood Knife to block those legs.
It seemed that this bewitching array was indeed useful. It had caused these brainless fellows to turn around in circles. I was naturally very glad that I had Lu Banshu's existence and Zi Yan's timely guidance. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the time to search for it.
However, the relaxation in his heart was haunted by an even greater doubt.
This wasn't the first time. Zi Yan was in my blade, but why did she always know which spell I needed to use? Every time she was in a critical moment, she could always say it out loud. She had never missed a chance.
If it was in his hometown, that Jessica was a fake. It was only because the bad guys used his name that they knew about it. But now, Jessica was the real one!
Lu Ban's Book is a top secret item, and even Second Uncle has never mentioned it to me. How did she, a dark soul who has been buried underground for more than twenty years, know about it? " Combined with the fact that the entrepreneur who came to our village and wanted to use our land also knows about the Book of Lu Ban, I believe that this peerless treasure in my hands is no longer a secret. I'm afraid that many people have seen it or know that it's with me.
I faintly feel that he will bring more trouble in the future!
However, now was not the time to dwell on this problem. As for Jessica, he would have a good chat with her when he was free. Li Xiangling and I had just gotten rid of the pile of bones and were looking for a way out when we felt the scattered movements behind us become uniform again.
Looking back, the undeads recovered quickly. They no longer killed each other unintentionally, but gathered together and walked in our direction.
There was really no more fun!
I don't know if the bewitching spell's effect only lasts for such a short time, or if my dao power is insufficient, so I can't hold on enough. In short, it's ineffective. I pulled Xiang Ling up and quickly ran forward. At least there was nothing in front of me now.
However, the tunnel once again played a joke on me. After running for more than a hundred meters, there was no way out.
In front of me was a pool of muddy water. I couldn't see what was underneath. I used my arm to test it. It was very deep. I couldn't feel the bottom even if I reached in completely. It seemed to be a smelly drain that was blocked.
The undeads behind them slowly chased after them. They were not fast and could not run, but they walked in an orderly manner, once again blocking the way back. But even if there was a way, it would lead to the morgue. I had no intention of going back.
If he used the Bewitching Spell again, it didn't seem to be of much use. There was no way out. It was useless to knock them out. It seemed that he could only take a gamble.
"Xiangling, can you swim?" I asked suddenly.
As a Taoist nun who was out in the world, she should be able to swim well. This basic survival skill was necessary to survive in the complicated wilderness. However, what surprised me even more was that Li Xiangling really didn't know how to swim.
She glanced at the black water surface and asked me awkwardly, should I jump in and swim?
"Of course. We can't go back to the morgue, right?”I asked. But if she doesn't know how to swim, it'll be very troublesome. The situation under the water is unknown, and I'm not sure myself, let alone a girl who doesn't know how to swim.
The skeletons gradually approached. This time, they were determined to win. They were aggressive. It was obvious that they were a little angry from the situation just now. I didn't know where the power controlling them came from. If it was the so-called Corpse King, I believed that it would easily kill Li Xiangling and me if it appeared personally.
If he didn't want to go back to the morgue, he could only jump into the black water.
"Xiangling, take a few deep breaths and hold your breath. I don't know where this leads to. If I can't find a way out in a minute, I'll come back.”I hurriedly ordered.
"Okay, but it's only two minutes. I've never tried to hold it in for so long!”Li Xiangling replied awkwardly.
But I couldn't care less. I also took a deep breath and asked her to put two gloves on one of my arms. I told her not to press on my leg, or she wouldn't be able to stretch it. The water was so dark that I didn't know if I could find the exit. It would be even more difficult to bring a champion with me. However, I couldn't just leave her here alone.
If you want to die, then let's die together!
With this belief, I dove into the black water. The bottom was indeed very deep and turbid. The strong stimulation made it difficult for me to open my eyes, let alone find the exit.
After searching for about half a minute, I had no clue at all. I swam deeper, knowing that I didn't have much time, so I could only go all out.
After swimming for another 20 meters, I could already feel my lungs swelling up. Usually, I would swim alone. Now that I was dragging someone along, even though she wasn't heavy, she was still carrying weight. It would definitely reduce the time I had to hold my breath underwater.
I silently counted to one minute. This was the final time to make a decision. If I didn't turn back now, I would need more than two minutes to go back, which was also the longest time I could hold my breath.
The decision was made in an instant. Should I go back?
Just as he was hesitating and unable to make a decision, that ray of light flashed above his head. There seemed to be bursts of light under the black water. It was the sunlight that pierced through the water.
He found it!
I was extremely excited, but my body was already very heavy. I tried my best to swim towards the weak light. Li Xiangling didn't move. I didn't know what was wrong with her. As long as my arm was still carrying weight, she didn't leave me. That was enough.
Gradually, the light became stronger and stronger. I gathered my last bit of strength and rushed forward.
"Crash…"
As the gravity fell, my body was rushed out of the huge tunnel and fell in a straight line.
About two seconds later, I fell into another stream of water. However, this time, I wasn't submerged because I was already outside. I raised my neck and panted heavily against the long-lost sunlight, sucking in oxygen and sunlight to my heart's content.
Of course, I didn't forget about Li Xiangling. I raised my arm with great effort and poked her head out of the water. However, she lay weakly in my arms and called out for a long time without any reaction.
I trembled as I placed my hand under her nose. I didn't feel any breath…
