Soul-eating Golden Coffin - C34
“What are you thinking of?” If I didn’t meet such a lost star like you, I would still be on the mountain groping for loaches and toads! “How could things get to this point?” Zhang Shan glanced at me, and unexpectedly said these words.
“Great!” You’ve finally spoken the truth! ” “I was trembling with anger at him.” “You have to remember that I didn’t invite you here. If you don’t wish to, you can leave. No one will stop you!” I can’t stand this guy any longer.
“Go?” How? Tell me about it. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have told you these things. Tomorrow night, I would only have reported on the Zhengzhou news that the body of an unknown man had been found on the streets. The cause of death is unknown. “It really doesn’t interfere with my business at all.” Zhang Shan still played it down.
“Hmph, don’t forget. If you didn’t force me to deal with that Zhao Youde, how could I have ended up like this? Now that you’ve pushed yourself away, it’s a shame that you’re still a man! ” I’m going to be pissed off at this shameless guy.
“Speaking of this, I didn’t want to hurt you too deeply. Since you mentioned it, you can’t blame me. Think about it carefully. Ever since you appeared, you angered my grandfather to the point of being unable to get up, and then caused Zhao Youde’s soul to scatter, causing him to be unable to rest in peace even after his death. How pitiful is it for a person to end up like this. Now that we are in this danger zone again, with so many things happening, how can you be missing that time? “I really doubt whether your father was killed by you back then …” The more Zhang Shan spoke, the louder he got. He was even more pleased with himself as he spoke, and completely ignored my darkening face.
“Shut up!” Speaking of my father, this fellow finally touched my deepest sore spot. Ignoring everything else, I jumped in front of Zhang Shan and smashed my fist into his face.
Anger made me forget one thing. Zhang Shan and I weren’t on the same level at all. Hitting him was equivalent to hitting a rock with an egg. Sure enough, my fist stopped ten centimeters away from Zhang Shan’s face, tightly gripped by his large hand, unable to advance any further.
“Hmph, hit me? I think your brain got kicked by a donkey, right? ” Zhang Shan was still squatting against the wall as he spoke to me with a smile. For the first time I felt how evil his smile was.
Zhang Shan slowly stood up, with every step he took, the force behind his fists increased. In the end, it was him standing and me squatting.
“Screech!” “Quite the backbone you have, not even making a sound. You have guts!” Zhang Shan teased as he looked at my forehead, which was continuously sweating due to the intense pain.
Although I was unable to retract his fist, I was still waiting. I was waiting for Zhang Shan to lose focus for a moment, and endure the danger of losing his arm. I forcibly stood up a little, raised my right leg and kicked towards Zhang Shan’s crotch.
“You overestimate yourself!” When Zhang Shan stood up, he already knew what I wanted to do. With his other hand, he grabs my ankle, and with a sweep of his leg, I crash to the ground.
Before I could even react, my right hand was once again grabbed. Taking advantage of this, I twisted my body to face downwards while my right hand was pressed against the back of Zhang Shan’s knee, unable to move anymore.
“Brat, I advise you not to think about it, just stay here. I might be able to let you go if I am in a good mood.” Even if I kill you here, no one will ever know. ” Zhang Shan warned me coldly from above.
“If you have the ability, kill me now!” My back was pressed against, and my breathing was ragged, but I managed to squeeze the words out of my teeth.
“Alright!” I’ll help you! ” After Zhang Shan finished speaking, he concentrated his weight on the knee that was pressing down on me.
“…” I could no longer make any sound in my throat. Because of the lack of oxygen, his consciousness became more and more blurry.
Just when I felt that I was about to be shocked, a wave of heat quickly flowed from my limbs and bones to my right shoulder, and instantly broke through Zhang Shan’s twisted joints, straight to his palm.
Zhang Shan seemed to have also felt the fiery heat, and was bounced back in an instant. Without waiting for him to stabilize himself, I grabbed a bottle of mineral water that fell out of my bag and threw it towards Zhang Shan.
Zhang Shan dodged embarrassedly, but I could clearly see the water bottle dipping into the wall, and only heard the sound of it hitting the ground a second later.
I stared blankly at the wall that was gradually disappearing, revealing a straight path in front of me. I didn’t even think about settling the score with Zhang Shan anymore.
“Heh heh.” Zhang Shan laughed instead. Since I’m not messing with you anymore, let’s hurry up and leave! ”
“You …” I seem to understand a little bit of what Zhang Shan meant: “Are you deliberately trying to anger me?”
“Since the Palmprint Holder is immune to hundred of ghosts, naturally, there is a way to break it. It’s just that right now you need to use some extreme methods to stimulate it. ” Zhang Shan did not directly answer me, his face returning to that brilliant sun-like smile.
“Can’t you tell me in advance?” I still feel a bit of a headache.
“Tell you in advance?” Then can you really be angry? ” Zhang Shan looked at me happily, picked up the machete on the ground, and carried it on his shoulder: “Let’s go quickly … …” Where have we just arrived? The sky is about to brighten! ”
CHAPTER TWELVE People Who gnaw on rats
Zhang Shan continued to lead the way with the compass in front, while I continued to pay attention to any activity that could happen behind us. The tunnel slowly extended downwards, seemingly endless.
Not long later, Zhang Shan stopped and turned his head, gesturing for me to go over. Leaning forward, we found ourselves in a larger shelter, several times the size of the one we had just come down in, and much taller. In order to prevent the cave from collapsing, the ceiling had not only hardened, but the hall was also supported by dozens of pillars that were big enough for two people to carry.
There was a similar platform in the hall. It was about one meter high and there were tables and stools scattered on it.
“Look over there.” Zhang Shan suddenly pulled me, pointing to the right and said with a low voice.
I looked in the direction he was pointing and found a dark mass in front of a pillar. It was curling up on the ground, moving and moving in a very big way.
I looked at it for a long time, but I couldn’t see what it was, so I touched it to my waist.
The lamp switch on the battery has a total of three settings: off, normal brightness and super brightness. After entering the dugout, in order to conserve electricity, we hit the normal brightness. At this moment, I couldn’t see clearly with my eyes, so I remembered the function of the mine lamp and directly hit the bright light.
“What are you doing?” You’re not giving up your life! ” When Zhang Shan saw the light suddenly turn on, he knew that things were going to get bad. He reached out to cover my headlights.
However, it was already too late. After the light intensifies, I could see that the black object under the pillar was actually a person with his back facing us. Both of his shoulders were heaving up and down, and I didn’t know what he was doing. Almost at the same time, the crouching figure seemed to sense the intensification of the light, and he turned his upper body to look at us.
What a face, I couldn’t even be sure if he was still human or not. He had lost more than half of his hair, and his white scalp was exposed. He couldn’t see his eyes through the white frame of his eyes, and his face was covered with penny-sized blisters.
The most disgusting thing was that the man was chewing on half a bloody rat, which bones and teeth occasionally chattered.
“Zhao Youde!” I finally recognized the person in front of me. It was the Corpse Supporting Spell that we had spent a lot of effort to find.
Zhao Youde opened his mouth and spat out the rat. He sniffed the rat and suddenly turned his head towards us. It was as if those white eyes were staring at me.
“Run!” Before Zhang Shan could finish his sentence, Zhao Youde’s corpse had already charged towards us, laughing and shouting, his speed extremely fast.
I was pushed to the base of the wall by Zhang Shan, but I had already lost my ability to judge or move due to the shock. I could only watch as it rushed in front of me, extended its highly rotten and swollen hands, and grabbed towards me.
Zhang Shan bellowed, and when his hands were still ten centimeters away from me, he held onto the blade with both of his hands, and hacked down onto Zhao Youde’s corpse’s wrists.
Along with a light “bang”, the pair of hands finally stopped moving forward and descended along with the momentum of the blade. However, unexpectedly, Zhang Shan’s heavy sword did not even cut through its skin, but only tore off a piece of its sleeve.
Zhao Youde’s body merely paused for a moment, as if he felt Zhang Shan’s threat, he turned around and extended his hands towards Zhang Shan. It seemed that he had decided to first remove the obstruction before coming to deal with me.
At this point of time, Zhang Shan was extremely close to Zhao Youde’s corpse, he had already known the outcome of the attack. After slashing the first time, Zhang Shan did not stop and slashed twice towards the head of Zhao Youde’s corpse.
But apart from the blisters that had grown from the corruption of the corpse, the blisters had burst and splattered on him. Zhao Youde’s head was not damaged in the slightest. Seeing that fellow grabbing towards him, Zhang Shan lowered his head, dodging the attack. At the same time, he raised his right leg and kicked at Zhao You’s corpse’s stomach.
The strength of this kick was even more powerful. If it was me, I would have already flown out a few meters away. My bones would have broken and my tendons would have broken. However, Zhao Youde’s body merely swayed slightly, and bounced Zhang Shan beside me.
“Damn, this guy is as tough as steel!” As Zhang Shan said that, he seized the opportunity to move the ankle he kicked just now. It seemed that he twisted it too hard.
The Corpse Supporting Spell didn’t stop at all, it turned and pounced towards us again.
“Get out of the way!” Zhang Shan pushed me to the side and grabbed Zhao Youde’s hands.
“Go …” Find a way out! ” Zhang Shan was obviously resisting the Corpse Supporting Spell with all his might, to the point of even saying these words was extremely strenuous. The stench from the corpse’s mouth was so strong that he had to turn his face away.
“Oh …” I finally snapped out of my daze and hastily observed my surroundings. Not far behind Corpse Supporting Spell, there was a path that led somewhere, and he immediately pointed it out to Zhang Shan.
“Take off your coat and cover his head!” Seeing that there was a way out, Zhang Shan hurriedly shouted to me.
Although I didn’t understand his intentions, I still obediently took off my jacket. Trembling, I approached them from the side, and taking the opportunity, I threw the jacket on top of the Corpse Supporting Spell.
Speaking of it, it was quite strange. With this cover, the Corpse Supporting Spell immediately stopped moving, and started spinning non-stop while holding onto the jacket’s head. Zhang Shan also retracted his hand, and he slowly moved back, pulling me along as he slowly retreated into the tunnel.
