The Exorcist

The light comes from many spells drawn by Dao Ruan Zhan. These paper things were not destroyed by the river water, but swelled and stood upright in the water like small transparent sails, forming a circle and placing Ruan Zhan in it. Ruan Zhan's situation at this time is obviously not optimistic, it should be said that he is barely supporting it. His left hand pointed straight ahead firmly, and his entire right arm and legs were tightly entangled with water plants. Those aquatic plants are dense and tough, wriggling like life. Looking carefully, they turned out to be dense long hair, grabbing Ruan Zhan like countless ghost claws, and some even tried to tear off the oxygen tube on the diving suit.

Apparently Ruan Zhan didn't expect the resentful spirits to merge successfully, so he was at a disadvantage from the beginning. Although he is still stubbornly persisting, if this continues, he will definitely be consumed to death in the water!

Xiaoxia didn't have time to think, so she quickly opened the cardboard box she had been holding tightly in her arms, and found that the candle bunny had melted automatically, and what she saw now was a handful of two-inch long candlesticks covered with little tadpole-like mantras. Blood red small wooden sword.

She carefully held the small hilt of the sword, not knowing what to do. But just as she was hesitating, the vague 'figure' who had been standing outside the spell circle with his back to her suddenly noticed that someone was disturbing him. It didn't move its body, but turned its head 180 degrees to face Xiao Xia. It has loose hair that only people in the late Qing Dynasty would comb. The flesh on its face is rotten to pieces. There are even aquatic plants fluttering and small fish swimming by. Those bottomless eye holes without eyeballs stare fiercely at Xiao Xia. The corners of his mouth twitched.

"The meddler will die!" Although it didn't make a sound, Xiao Xia understood what it was going to say, and instantly knew that it was the culprit of the whole thing, that resentful scholar!

It rushed towards Xiao Xia quickly, Xiao Xia closed her eyes and raised her hand subconsciously, the small wooden sword suddenly became normal size and burst into a dazzling red light, forcing the scholar ghost to flee in a hurry, even the aquatic plants that bound Ruan Zhan in the distance Screaming into nothingness. However, at the same time, Xiaoxia's protective air bubbles also disappeared, making her feel the water pressure and suffocation, from the air environment to the verge of drowning.

She wanted to get closer to Ruan Zhan, swam desperately, and struggled to go in Ruan Zhan's direction, 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 Xiao Xia a long time ago, but he was on the verge of life and death and couldn't take care of her. Seeing that she was about to become a snack for the evil ghosts waiting for an opportunity to move around, I had no choice but to turn the spell closest to me into an invisible rope to quickly pull Xiao Xia to my side, and took off the oxygen mask to cover her face.

Xiao Xia took a big breath, feeling suffocated, she didn't want to come again.

At this time, the evil spirits who were staring at the side, saw this rare opportunity and broke through the protective circle that lacked a spell in one fell swoop. They were immediately surrounded by darkness that could not be seen, and all kinds of crying and laughter suddenly sounded around them. the sound of.

Woo--

The whistling like a whistle rang intermittently in their ears, the water flowing around them seemed to be caressing and pulling them, and the approaching waves of cold air seemed to bury them at the bottom of the water .

In the darkness like hell, they are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and Ruan Zhan is the only hope of survival. So even though Xiao Xia was terrified to death, she groped for Ruan Zhan's face soberly, used the oxygen mask in turn, handed the blood-wood sword to him, and went around behind him in order not to hinder Ruan Zhan's actions.

In the icy river, through the thick diving suit, Xiao Xia still seemed to be able to feel the warmth of Ruan Zhan's body and the strong and steady heartbeat, which strengthened her confidence in defeating the scholar ghost.

Holding the blood-wood sword, Ruan Zhan tried his best to feel the evil breath in the darkness. While being alert to the attack of the resentful spirits at any time, he fumbled to remove the oxygen tank and hang it on Xiao Xia's body, and protected her in his arms. Li swam slowly in the opposite direction following the whistle. He intuitively thought that the whistle sound was harmless, so he decided to trust it without hesitation.

Although he knew that today he would have to make a break with that wraith spirit, but its unexpected successful fusion made its power double, which made him suffer a dark loss when he came up. If Xiaoxia didn't appear suddenly, he would probably be killed Trapped here.

Now his protective barrier was shattered, but its barrier was covering all around the water waves, it would engulf them at any time, or make it impossible for them to escape. Of course, the blood wood sword can kill this level of resentful spirits, but it is cleverly hidden in the dark so that he can't find it, and the long-term self-seal makes his ability sleep in his body, so he can't fully use the blood wood sword at present. The power of the sword, not to mention that he brought Xiao Xia who shared the same oxygen tank, so they would drown under the river due to lack of oxygen.

Now we can only hope that Xiaoxia can leave in the next section of the river that suddenly becomes shallower, and he can give it a go. The problem is that the oxygen content determines that he doesn't have that long time, and he can't break through the barrier while also dealing with its deadly attacks.

Suddenly, the blood-wood sword buzzed and shook, making him realize that there were not only pursuers behind it, but also something blocking the way in front of it.

Is it the souls it controls?

he does not know. He could only take out the last talisman used for self-defense and cast it on top of their heads, so that the light emitted by the talisman could at least illuminate a distance of several meters.

Standing in front of them was a stone box, on the edge of the barrier. Due to the long history, the stone box in the half-submerged river bottom mud has been covered with moss. Its lid was tightly closed, but at this moment there were knocking sounds from inside, as if something was struggling to come out. But the wraith who had been following them was very nervous after seeing the stone box, and approached regardless of the danger.

All this made Ruan Zhan excited for a while, knowing that the burial place of the scholar he had never found was here, and he faintly felt that he could take advantage of the panic of the resentful spirit to solve the problem. Although it was dangerous, it was very hopeful to succeed.

At the same time, the Xiucai evil ghost realized that his fate had been exposed, so he rushed over desperately. It knew that it could not resist the power of the blood-wood sword, so it turned into countless small water plants and shot at it like a sharp sword, making Ruan Zhan, who had not yet fully exerted the power of the blood-wood sword, flustered, and the wounded place was soaked in blood, stabbing him The water plants on the body turned into ferocious little ghosts with sharp ears and sharp mouths, screaming and burrowing into his body, and some of them even wanted to bite Xiao Xia behind Ruan Zhan.

Xiao Xia was scared to death, but she couldn't stay away from Ruan Zhan, watching him choke to death. At this moment, her mind was very clear, and while avoiding the attack of the little ghost, she sent 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 flurry of blood-wood swords, and pushed open the lid forcefully.

She was stunned!

The stone box was not big enough, and the white bones inside were twisted horribly, but the hair and teeth were intact, one was floating with the water, and the other was knocking fiercely, as if chewing something. There are many bundles of hair at the bones' feet, and they are making creaking sounds at this moment, trying to crawl out one after another.

The weirdest thing is that there is a bright red heart in the bone's chest!

Plop, plop, plop!
