Chapter 357 A Nightmare
Lv You was stunned for a while, making the distance between Su Li and him more than thirty meters. That kind of feeling immediately came to him, so, he did not dare to hesitate, quickly following Su Li. As a result, the sense of crisis in somewhere suddenly disappeared like a tide.
“It turns out that master is impenetrable, no wonder…”
Lv You was surprised. When he came to investigate before, he found the evil energy there was very strong and showed great resentment. Fortunately, he retreated with no harm in that he was a ghost cultivator. If any other cultivator in the same level wanted to withdraw from this place, he had to be more or less injured.
Now with his master’s protection, he certainly had no worries.
But he was wrong in one respect that Su Li was not impenetrable. As for evil, the body of evil ghost was the ancestor of all the evil energies in the world and nothing could be more wicked than it. These evil energies would be absorbed as long as they closed to her. How dared they be close.
A moment later, Su Li walked into the last yard and saw the well eroded by the years. Instinctively, a faint desire came out of her body.
She was excited because there were a lot of things helpful to her body of evil ghost. Otherwise, her body could not response greatly.
“Have you ever been down the well?”
Su Li suddenly said in such a quiet environment. Lv You immediately got nervous, saying in a low voice, “I’m ashamed. Last time when I came to this house, I’m stopped by a strong evil energy. I didn’t leave until I was entangled long, so, I didn’t go down the well.”
Su Li nodded softly and pondered for a moment, saying, “You go back first to keep Fan Zisang there, and I’ll go down to see.”
Lv You got startled after hearing that, “Master, don’t!”
This place was very weird. If Su Li died here, the slave mark in his mind would be broken and he would die with her.
Su Li shook slightly, went to the well and jumped down without saying a word. And then a voice came out, “I know how to do. You go back. If you don’t… it’s terrible.”
Lv You had no time to stop her. Hearing Su Li’s words, he immediately changed his look slightly. He didn’t dare to hesitate and immediately retreated to the place in front of Liu’s Mansion. After thinking a series of things, he left anxiously.
Su Li jumped down to the well and came to the bottom in several breaths. A damp wind came to her. She looked around, but saw no trace of water.
“A little strange…”
Taking a deep breath, Su Li looked the same and went along the dark tunnel at the bottom of the well to go inside.
The darkness didn’t last for long, and then Su Li saw a little green fluorescence, like ghost fire beating on both sides of the tunnel.
“Phosphorous fire. It seems that there have been a lot of deaths, but I forget to ask Lv You about the origin of Liu’s Mansion…”
Thinking to herself, Su Li kept moving. Following the guidance of the phosphorous fire through a straight road, she suddenly stopped and her pupils shrank.
It was the end of the tunnel — and in the huge cave, there was one bone on the uneven stone wall. Su Li would be calm if it was an ordinary one, but this one… was so big, for his head reached to the top of the cave and his two dry leg bones extended to her feet when he just sat there.
If this person was still alive and stood up, he would be at least 200 meters high!
Would there be such a large Human Clan in this world?
“Little girl, you are ignorant!” Black Lotus said proudly, “At the critical moment, you have to rely on me. This is not a Human Clan, but the king of Ghost Clan.”
“King of Ghost Clan?”
Su Li was puzzled, but Black Lotus said a little urgently, “Oh, just like you Human Clan have an emperor. Don’t ask so much. I’ll explain to you later. Go to see if his life core is still there.”
Life core!
She knew that it gathered all the energy of one ghost without Black Lotus’ more explanation.
Su Li’s eyes were bright. She was about to flash into the cave over the leg bones. However, at this time, the damp wind came again, which made her suddenly stagnate.
“Why do you stop?”
Black Lotus was confused, but Su Li didn’t answer. She frowned and suddenly remembered the details she noticed before. The cave… was very dry but the cold and humid wind blew so frequently. How couldn’t it be flooded?
Unless… everything in front of her was an illusion!
Su Li’s scalp was numb. She went back and retreated to the bottom of the wellhead quickly. Black Lotus was about to say something, but suddenly, there was a sharp and strange cry in the cave.
“Gee!!!”
In the next moment, a huge phantom suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Before Su Li could see it clearly, it opened its mouth with full of sharp teeth and swallowed to her upper body.
“A nightmare, can it be?!”
Black Lotus screamed, but Su Li didn’t have mind to listen to him. She stomped and turned into a remnant to avoid attack. Then she appeared on the back of the huge phantom. She pinched her fist and blew it hard to the phantom’s back!
“No!”
Black Lotus wanted to stop her when he responded and saw this, while Su Li looked slightly gloomy and had no time to stop. She could only take back part of her strength.
At the moment when her fist met the body of the nightmare, its dark skin suddenly became unreal. Therefore, Su Li’s fist pa.s.sed it through and hit the empty place.
“Emptiness?”
A staggering made Su Li stand unstable. Fortunately, she took back part of her strength. Otherwise, it couldn’t be solved by just one staggering.
“Gee. Gee. Gee!!!”
The nightmare shouted angrily. It was obviously enraged by Su Li’s fist, so, it attacked crazily.
Su Li had no choice but to keep avoiding. Her several temptations and counterattacks all hit the air. It was too difficult to deal with the emptiness ability of the nightmare.
“Black Lotus, does the nightmare have no weakness?”
As Su Li resisted the attack, she seized the time to ask Black Lotus. This nightmare was even more powerful than her. Even if she sought help from Lv You, they would still be not its match. She could only find solutions by herself.
Black Lotus sighed bitterly, “Nightmare is the most formidable creature in Ghost Circle, and they are very rare. Why does it appear here?”
Black Lotus couldn’t figure it out, but it was obviously not the time to think about it. It tried to recall the nightmares it had encountered and said intermittently,
“I remember that the real body of nightmare is very fragile, and their powerful attack is achieved by sacrificing their real body. The nightmare in front of you has reached Jindan Realm for its attacking power, while the real body is vulnerable to that of Lianqi Realm. You can easily kill it as long as you can hit it!”
“How to hit it?”
“I don’t know!”
Black Lotus directly gave an answer, which almost let Su Li fall into the nightmare’s b.l.o.o.d.y mouth. She immediately got anxious.
“Black Lotus!!!”
“Don’t worry. Let me think; let me think…”
Black Lotus mark rotated rapidly. If Su Li could see Black Lotus through the mark, she would surely see a child scratching his head and sweating.
It also knew that it was not the time to joke, but it really didn’t know!
Nightmares remained few in Ghost Circle and most of them couldn’t grow up, so, there were even fewer nightmares that could become the peak strength of Ghost Circle. As a treasure of Ghost Circle, Black Lotus naturally didn’t care about the unremarkable nightmares among one hundred clans in Ghost Circle.
However, Black Lotus had lived for a long time. After it tried its best to recall the information about nightmares, it really found some clues.
“Su Li, although nightmares can be virtualized, they also need to draw energy from their surroundings to maintain their form, and they are very afraid of ghost poisons!”
“Poison!!”
In the second life of Reincarnation Mirror, what Su Li was good at was poison.
“But now I don’t have poison. I can’t do anything to create a poisonous environment… No, I have it!”
Su Li was sure and sneering. She pointed the universe ring at her neck and took out a coldly s.h.i.+ning dagger. It was Lv You’s extraordinary collection.
Then, without saying anything, she turned inward, leaving a bloodstain on her palm. The dagger was immediately stained with red blood.
“You are…”
Black Lotus could understand her that she wanted to poison the nightmare with the poison in her blood. But… Su Li’s blood, even couldn’t kill mortals. Could it poison the nightmare?
However, there seemed to be no better way.
“But how can you create a poisonous environment in a short time? If the cave is to be ruined again, it will collapse.”
Black Lotus was nagging beside her, while Su Li seemed to be deaf. She continued to dodge, and put her hands together to clip the dagger in the middle at the same time, being fierce.
“I don’t practice Ao Sword Skills in this life, but I can use other skills. Although the accuracy is not enough controlled by Black Lotus Tactics, it is enough…”
Thinking of this, Su Li started to use Black Lotus Tactics, and the dagger between her palms immediately changed. The bloodstain on the dagger seemed to be alive, crawling all over the blade evenly and dyeing the silver dagger to blood red. The smell of blood continued to evaporate with the quiver of the dagger, being dense around the dagger.
When the red fog condensed to its limitation, Su Li with a pale face changed her eyesight and her hands moved away from the dagger, saying, “Go!”
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
The dagger was like an arrow out of the line at once, running through the shadow of the nightmare and leaving a line of red fog visible to naked eye. Then, under the control of Su Li, it flied wildly in this small s.p.a.ce, constantly running through the shadow of the nightmare.
The red fog was gathering.
Being so hara.s.sed by the dagger, the nightmare was in anger and its target immediately moved from Su Li to the dagger, but because its action was too big, it couldn’t grasp the small dagger while watching emptiness to avoid the dagger’s attack. It needed to absorb the energy from the empty s.p.a.ce constantly, and then Su Li found that the red fog suddenly churned a lot less but was gradually enriched under the supplement of the dagger.
An hour pa.s.sed soon, and the blood on the dagger was less than half, but the blood fog around it was not dense, for it was absorbed by the nightmare’s body.
“It works!”
Black Lotus cried out in surprise. Su Li looked pale for she was a little dizzy because of her mental loss. However, seeing the nightmare do not distinguish direction, she suddenly showed a relieved smile.
It was finally over.
With an unwilling scream, the nightmare fell down like a lightly flying feather without making a sound. Then, under Su Li’s surprised eyes, it changed strangely…
