The delicate white was stained with bright red, and blood fell on the ice in strings along the blade.
Chen Hu carefully drew the tip of the knife, slowly opened the palm-sized scar, and then used his fingers to open it.
But the heart in the sternum was missing, replaced by a strange species the size of a palm, shaped like a black starfish, with densely packed small tentacles rooted in the mermaid's flesh.
The moment he saw this thing, Chen Hu's pupils narrowed slightly, as if he was remembering something.
Suddenly, a fishy wind blew in front of me.
A ferocious and ugly face burst into view. The originally pretty face was now covered with black and purple veins, and fish scales sprouted like mushrooms after a rain. The corners of its mouth opened to the edges of its ears, revealing sharp teeth.
A critical moment.
A big hand grabbed the back of Chen Hu's neck and pulled him away.
Just!!!
The red-reddish blade was bitten by sharp teeth.
The mermaid's cloudy and dark pupils were raised, looking straight at Li Kui.
"What a fart."
Li Kui's eyes were cold, he pulled his fist and arm, and the blade went straight in. Half of the mermaid's head was cut open immediately, and he flew up with a kick that hit the bridge of the nose, and he was immediately kicked out.
It's too late to say it, but it's soon.
As soon as the gunshot rang out, the mermaid flew out with blood holes appearing one after another on its body.
However, in just the next second, her body quickly swelled and bloated, revealing her true form. A three-meter-long giant fish swung its body on the ice and rushed towards her.
"Young Master, she is a filthy thing that has invaded her body. We can only kill her!"
Chen Hu activated his energy and blood, holding a steel knife and shouting.
"Filth."
After hearing these words, Zhang Changchun suddenly felt enlightened when he looked at Bai Lijing's appearance again, and his face couldn't help but become gloomy.
Li Kui's ears twitched and he remembered it in his heart.
It's too late to say it, but it's soon.
Although the power of the rifle was not weak, the giant fish seemed to feel no pain. Even if it was hit in many vital parts, it did not slow down at all. The fish jumped up and bit Chen Hu and the others at the front.
A bit of hot steam bursts out from your wrist.
Chen Hu slashed Huashan with one force and slashed towards the giant fish's neck. The blade dug deep into the flesh and blood. Before he could continue to exert his strength, a huge force suddenly hit him and knocked him away.
"This thing has no vital points in the traditional sense. We must find the 'filth' in the body in order to completely kill it!"
Zhang Changchun shouted with all his strength.
Then, he got on his horse and said, "Spread out and kill it with your rifle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, many knights immediately dispersed on horseback.
The cavalry naturally has to take advantage of the cavalry, and can't stand still and fight hard!
However……
"Li Kui, Li Kui, what are you doing!"
As soon as Zhang Changchun rode away, he saw Li Kui still staying there motionless, and immediately shouted anxiously.
In just the next second, he was stunned on the spot.
…
After Chen Hu was thrown away, only Li Kui was left in front of the giant fish, so he naturally became the primary target of attack.
Swinging the fish's tail, he rushed towards me.
"It's so noisy."
Li Kui held a sword in his hand, looked sternly, red light burst out, and slashed with the sword.
Tear!
The flash of red in the giant fish's eyes grew bigger and bigger, its head flew out, and warm and sticky blood splashed onto the ice.
only,
A large number of flesh-colored tentacles intertwined like seaweed suddenly poured out from the fracture, swarming towards Li Kui who was very close.
Zheng!
Deep ripples appeared in Li Kui's eyes. The long knife was like a butcher dissecting a cow, constantly dismembering the remaining body of the giant fish. Wherever the blade passed, all the tentacles were like scraps of paper burned by red flames, turning into ashes and flying.
In his eyes, there was indeed something like a starfish inside the giant fish, swimming around in the flesh and blood.
Whenever the blade strikes, it will immediately change its position. However, as the body becomes smaller and smaller, it has no choice but to break away from the fish body. As soon as it hits the ground, it bursts out with amazing speed and goes straight to the ice cave!
"Being wise is the most troublesome thing."
Thinking about it, Li Kui made a thought, and the soul-locking chain hooked the bow and arrow on the horse and fell into his hand.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, exhaled softly, bent his bow and arrow, and pointed directly at the fleeing black shadow.
Steam surges inside the bow!
Bang!
The arrow was as fast as lightning, piercing through the body of the "starfish" almost instantly, flying dozens of meters at a low altitude without stopping, and piercing into the ice.
"good!"
Zhang Changchun, who witnessed the whole process, couldn't help but cheer loudly.
then.
Li Kui strolled over and pulled out the arrow. The palm-sized "starfish" was already dead.
Without looking back he asked: "What exactly is filth?"
Behind him, Zhang Changchun came on horseback, took off the mask on his face, looked at the filth in Li Kui's hand, and said in a deep voice: "It's hard to say clearly, what exactly is this thing, it is collectively called 'filth', what is known so far
There are two types of pollution: physical corrosion and mental pollution."
"oh?"
Li Kui raised his eyebrows.
He used the demon-killing technique on the arrows, and the dirt immediately turned into ashes.
"Is there any difference?" Li Kui turned around and asked.
"Of course." Zhang Changchun turned over and dismounted, "The former has immortality, which you have personally experienced. If there is no special means to kill it with one hit, you can only grind it to death.
"The latter, strictly speaking, is like the invasion of inner demons in the Taoist family. It is difficult to resist the inner demons. People's hearts will change and they will become demons!"
"According to your statement, the former is parasitic on the monsters, while the latter invades the human body."
Li Kui grasped the key point.
"That's right." Zhang Changchun narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "About ten years ago, this kind of thing began to appear in the Ming Dynasty, but it was too rare, and it was almost the same as the first-class methods of evil heretics. There was no such thing.
Arouse the attention of the court."
"You know a lot."
Li Kui took off his mask and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
Gongsun Yu has very little memory of what Zhang Changchun said. What is the identity of the person in front of him?
"Each other, each other."
Zhang Changchun shrugged slightly. "Let's go, the robes are still waiting for us."
Li Kui nodded, walked no more than four or five steps, and suddenly looked towards the cold sun on the horizon.
He suddenly remembered the world introduction on the parchment: unknown monsters were cautiously touching this world, which was turbid and dirty, and people's hearts were restless.
Right now, it seems that a bigger shady story is slowly unfolding.
…………
Waiting to return to the shore.
"Brother Kui, you are too awesome!"
"Brothers, when it comes to my Brother Kui's skills, some Qianhu may not have such brave skills!"
Everyone swarmed forward and kept shouting.
Otherwise, it is said that the strong are respected, but with this hand exposed, the other knights immediately became Li Kui's fans.
"Brother Li, Chen Hu would like to thank you for saving your life."
Chen Hu strode forward and cupped his hands seriously.
"Nothing, we are Paoze."
Li Kui patted Chen Hu's arm.
Then, he looked at the big guy's face, simply took over the command of the team, and said bluntly: "There has just been a sudden twist and turn, and our mission has not been completed yet. Next, let's continue to explore two miles south. If we find nothing more,
Let’s go back!”
"good!"
Everyone agreed.
Immediately afterwards,
The group got on their horses and continued along the Wen River.
On the ice, a pale yellow fish skeleton dipped in a few streaks of blood stood in the cold wind.
