In the catacombs, in front of the blood pool of the altar.
More than twenty guests were brought here in their sleep. Some of them had pale faces and were crying uncontrollably. Some were trembling and begging for mercy. Some were blushing and scolding with their halberd fingers, looking generous and generous. Awesome appearance.
For a while, there was a lot of noise in the cave, making it as noisy as a vegetable market.
Lin Meng glanced at everyone with cold eyes, his eyes were calm and indifferent, as if he was looking at a group of cattle and sheep providing blood food for them, and he shouted in a low voice:
"quiet!"
The voice was not loud, but a dull coercion spread instantly, making everyone feel as if they were encountering a natural enemy, their whole bodies were shaken, and they all stopped talking.
Not only are there a few weak literati who have no cultivation at all, but they remain silent.
Even the few extremely brave warriors who dared to yell and curse even though their skills were blocked and could only be slaughtered by others, were all under the coercive aura that Lin Meng exuded, like a "predator". , becoming as if facing a formidable enemy, clenching his teeth, unable to say another word.
With a low shout, Lin Meng suppressed everyone, and then Lin Meng said calmly:
"You are very lucky to be chosen by us as a sacrifice to the great 'Spider Mother'. From now on, you will be with God and forever bathed in the glory of the great 'Spider Mother'."
"Congratulations everyone!"
Wu Xiao clapped his hands, smiling innocently, and his pretty face with a little baby fat was full of heartfelt congratulations.
Listening to Lin Meng's indifferent words and seeing Wu Xiao's innocent and lively smile with a heartfelt congratulatory smile, everyone couldn't help but feel horrified and their hearts froze.
Someone was trembling all over and whispering with chattering teeth:
"Live, human sacrifice...she, they are...cultists who worship evil spirits!"
"Humph, did you just discover it? It's just this altar, the golem, and the blood pool. Didn't you notice it a long time ago?"
"What, what should I do? I, I, I, I don't want to be a sacrifice..."
"Damn it, fight with these crazy women!"
"How to fight? My skills have been blocked..."
Just as he was speaking, Lin Meng snorted again, exuding calm pressure again, suppressing the commotion in the field.
Immediately he glanced at the crowd and raised his hand to point at Shen Lang:
"Bring him here."
A servant in Tsing Yi immediately grabbed Shen Lang.
"Don't touch him!"
Bai Shishi instinctively opened her arms, trying to block Shen Lang behind her like a protector.
But now her skills are the same as others. They have been blocked by Yunwei's true energy, and she doesn't even have much strength left in her hands and feet. The servant in Qingyi just casually pushed her aside, and then grabbed Shen Lang's shoulders. raised him out of the crowd.
Bai Shishi was so anxious that she almost couldn't help but use the "Escape Shell and Rebirth Method" to break the restriction.
But she finally restrained her impulse.
For a moment, she was very confident in the little evil monk's ability to "pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger". She didn't believe that a person like the little evil monk, who was favored by even Venerable Liuli, would fall here so easily.
The second reason is that even if she breaks the restriction and recovers her skills, it will be useless. She is the youngest among the seven sisters, and her martial arts skills are also the weakest. Compared with the other sisters' secret skills, her secret skill "Black Mist" is also the weakest. Useless.
With her ability, it is obviously impossible to break the situation.
In this case, Bai Shishi could only suppress herself and anxiously waited for Shen Lang to come back again.
"He is used to pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. The current appearance of being manipulated by others must be an act! At the critical moment, he will suddenly burst out and reverse the situation! Just like how he manipulated me and Du Qianqian that day!"
Bai Shishi clenched her hands into fists and pinched her palms with her nails, staring closely at Shen Lang who was being lifted in front of Lin Meng.
Lin Meng also frowned and looked at Shen Lang who looked "lost, dull and numb" and shook his head secretly.
From the moment he woke up, he didn't say a word and huddled against his maid.
Now it looks like a piece of wood that is just being slaughtered...
This "Empty Young Master" Ji Ruxue's character was too bad. He didn't have the courage of a warrior to be fearless in the face of danger. He was even worse than those rough guys who dared to point at them and yell at them.
Originally she wanted to recruit Shen Lang.
As long as he is willing to swear an oath of soul in the presence of the "Spider Mother" statue, not only will he not have to die today, but he will also be able to treat him as one of his own and give him some benefits to cultivate him.
But now...
With such a bad character, even if the martial arts potential is better than that of Yan Wufeng and Wu Tianhong, it is not worth subduing and training.
"Mr. Ji, do you have anything to say?"
Lin Meng looked at Shen Lang's face as pale as paper and said in an indifferent tone.
Shen Lang's eyes were dull and his expression was dull. He opened his mouth slightly, but did not make any sound.
Yue Ling'er couldn't help but laugh:
"Sister, you really made a mistake this time. This guy was so frightened that he couldn't even speak. He is even worse than those weak scribes..."
Tang Feier, who was dressed as a maid in red shirt, also smiled:
"It seems that he went crazy. Not only did he hurt his waist, he also lost kidney water, and even his courage was damaged."
Wu Xiao also covered his mouth, and his eyes turned into crescent moons:
"This is the first time I have seen such a cowardly man. Those who were used as sacrifices in the past, no matter how bad they were, would still beg for mercy a few times before they died..."
Not only were the Spider Sisters a joke, but those warriors who were particularly courageous couldn't help but yell:
"Why are you so cowardly? Isn't it just a matter of death? Are you afraid of death when you come out to hang out? Damn it, it's really a disgrace to us men!"
"You're so fucking stunned! Look at these crazy women and piss on them!"
"You're a weakling, but you're just talking and scolding them!"
However, no matter whether the witch taunted him or the warrior scolded him, Shen Lang didn't react at all, and he still looked like he was in a state of despair.
Lin Meng shook his head:
"I really made a mistake...that's all, I'll do it to you first."
With a slight wave of his hand, the servant in Qingyi escorted Shen Lang to the edge of the blood pool.
Lin Meng raised the bone knife again:
"I don't bother to kill him, who of you will do it?"
"Me me me!"
Wu Xiao stood on tiptoe, raised his hands, and said with a smile:
"As long as I kill someone, I'll be happy. I don't care how cowardly the person is."
Lin Meng nodded and handed the bone knife to her:
"Then it will be up to Third Sister to kill him."
Wu smiled, stepped forward to take the bone knife, held the handle, walked to the edge of the blood pool, kicked Shen Lang in the knee, knocked him to the ground, then grabbed his scalp, and lifted it hard
, exposed his neck, put the bone knife blade on his neck, and said with a smile:
"Hey, Mr. Kidney Deficiency, you are about to die, don't you have nothing to say?"
"Shen Lang" still looked dull and numb, as if he had been frightened out of his wits and could no longer react.
Wu Xiao still smiled innocently:
"No wonder my eldest sister doesn't bother to kill you. You look like a loser. No sister would bother to kill you. I am the one who is willing to be merciful and give you a ride! Thank me!"
As he said that, he pulled the blade with a swipe and made a pop sound. With a skillful technique, he opened "Chen Lang's" neck cleanly.
Seeing the blood gushing from "Chen Lang's" neck and pouring into the pool of blood like a fountain, Bai Shishi felt her eyes go dark and almost fainted: Is there anything wrong? The little evil monk who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger has no success.
So dead?
Was his neck cut open by the Fourth Sister with such ease?
What about his outburst?
What about his ultimate kill?
Where is his rabbit?
Why is there nothing?
Bai Shishi's vision turned black, her forehead was dripping with cold sweat, her heart gradually sank into the abyss, and even breathing became difficult, as if she was drowning in the deep sea.
at this time.
Wu Xiao's voice suddenly came to her ears again:
"Hey, that's not right!"
wrong?
What's wrong?
Hearing these words, Bai Shishi felt like a beam of light falling from the sky, shining on her soul that was sinking into the bottomless abyss, and like a pair of big hands that were painful to hit but equally powerful to save people.
Pull yourself out of the water after drowning in the deep sea.
She pressed her hand on her chest, panting heavily, trying her best to widen her blurry eyes, focusing her vision, and looked towards the blood pool.
Shen Lang was still kneeling at the edge of the blood pool, with blood still spraying out from his throat. However, Wu Xiao, the surgeon, and Lin Meng, Yun Wei, Yue Ling'er, and Tang Fei'er who were watching all looked incredulous.
, as if seeing something incomprehensible.
So, what exactly happened?
What unbelievable and incomprehensible situation did they see?
What happened to the little evil monk...?
At this moment, Wu Xiao said with a strange expression:
"This man...why doesn't he have a soul?"
Hearing this sentence, Bai Shishi suddenly realized.
That's right, when a blood sacrifice is made to the Spider Mother, the blood of the sacrifice will fall into the blood pool, and the soul of the sacrifice will be pulled out by the Spider Mother's power, fly towards the idol, and be swallowed by the Spider Mother Statue.
But now, the blood in Shen Lang's neck kept spurting out, but there was no sign of his soul flying out.
Bai Shishi clenched her chest tightly with her palms, feeling her heart beating so fast that it seemed like it would jump out of her throat at any time.
I felt my face was cold and wet again, so I stretched out my hand to wipe it, and then I realized that unknowingly, I had tears streaming down my face.
At this time, something even stranger happened.
Shen Lang, who was kneeling by the blood pool and spitting blood, suddenly shriveled up quickly. In just a few breaths, he turned into a mummy that seemed to have been weathered for many years.
Not only was his skin and flesh shriveled, but his body shape also shrank significantly, and in an instant he looked like a twelve or thirteen-year-old child.
Before anyone could figure out what happened, something even more terrifying happened.
The withered skin and flesh on Shen Lang's body quickly burst into cracks. In the blink of an eye, the withered and weathered flesh on his body was covered with cracks, like broken porcelain that was then glued back together.
Pieces of dry skin and flesh peeled off, first on the top of the head, then on the face, neck, shoulders, arms, chest...
In just a few breaths, all the skin and flesh on Shen Lang's body had been peeled off, and what was left kneeling by the pool was a withered and decayed skeleton, as if it had been dead for many years and weathered for countless years!
Saw this skeleton.
The spider sisters were all stunned, with blank faces and confused eyes.
The captured sacrifices were trembling and their teeth were chattering. Even the brave warriors looked like they had seen ghosts, with goosebumps all over their bodies and their eyes almost bulging out.
Eye sockets.
But the scarier thing is yet to come.
The withered and decayed skeleton, which was only as big as a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, suddenly had its neck bones cracking. Then, under the horrified eyes of everyone, it made a 180-degree turn, directly smashing the skull's cheek.
Aimed at everyone.
Then the skeleton opened its jaws and made two clicks at the Spider Sisters, as if laughing. Then with another crash, the entire skeleton instantly disintegrated and fell apart, turning into broken bones.
When the skeleton disintegrated and the broken bones rolled all over the ground, the spider sisters, including Lin Meng and other courageous warriors, couldn't help but spread out and retreated to avoid the bones rolling towards them.
Yan Wufeng and Wu Tianhong also felt their scalps numb, and they quickly stood in front of Yue Linger, protecting her and retreating.
Not to mention the sacrifices, they all rolled and crawled and fled in embarrassment. Even the brave warriors were so frightened that they didn't know what to do and jumped back.
"There is a ghost! There is a ghost!"
"My mom, how can there be ghosts? Isn't this a cult altar? What do evil gods do for food? How could ghosts be allowed to invade her altar?"
"Holy shit, Young Master Kong is actually a ghost in human skin!"
"I just said he looked abnormal. His face was pale, he had dark circles under his eyes, and he had big bags under his eyes, like a dead person. I thought he just had kidney failure, but he turned out to be a ghost..."
Seeing a sacrificial ceremony being messed up by a "ghost" of unknown origin, Lin Mengdan could not help but feel a hint of annoyance in his eyes, and shouted:
"What's the ghost to be afraid of? Haven't you seen that it has collapsed on itself? This is the power of the Spider Mother! You..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a soft pop, followed by a short muffled hum.
Everyone looked at the sound and saw Wu Xiao standing stiffly as if he had been hit by a immobilizing spell, with a forced smile on his face, "Um, I seem... to have been stabbed in the back...
"
Before he finished speaking, there was another pop, and a bloody sword tip suddenly emerged from Wu Xiao's chest. Looking at its position, it clearly penetrated Wu Xiao's heart!
Lin Meng and the other Spider Sisters all shrank back and looked behind Wu Xiao with focused eyes, only to see that there was no one behind her.
If there is no one, what happened to the sword?
Who exactly stabbed Wu Xiao in the back?
Is there really a ghost?
At this time, Tang Fei'er suddenly sank to the ground, as if falling into water, and his whole body disappeared into the ground.
Only a moment later, she emerged from the ground behind Wu Xiao, like a diver emerging from the water.
This is exactly her secret technique "Escape from Earth".
She can move freely in the soil and rocks, and can move ten feet away in an instant. There is almost no limit to this technique. As long as her energy and physical strength can support it, she can use it indefinitely.
This is why she was nicknamed "Stone Spider".
Tang Feier, who had moved behind Wu Xiao through ground escape, finally saw clearly the murderer who stabbed Wu Xiao in the back.
Behind Wu Xiao, there was only a slender skull claw on the hilt of the long sword that stabbed her to the core.
It was that skull bone claw, holding the hilt of the sword with its five fingers, and stabbed Wu Xiao through the heart from behind.
Precisely because it was only the skull claw without any aura of life that carried out a sneak attack with a sword, even though Wu Xiao had a fourth-level entry-level cultivation, he was unable to sense any energy and was caught off guard.
Moreover, the sword was not of ordinary quality. It could actually pierce Wu Xiao's body-protecting Qi that was supposed to be released in response to stress. It was obviously at least a fourth-grade sword!
"Yes, it's that skeleton!"
After seeing the truth clearly, Tang Feier said with a horrified tone and a face full of shock.
As he spoke, blood was pouring from Wu Xiao's mouth and nose - a fourth-grade warrior has a very strong vitality, but even a third-grade warrior's heart is a fatal wound, let alone a fourth-grade warrior?
As for the "Shedding Shell and Rebirth Technique"...
The sword is still pierced through her heart, how can she escape from her shell and be reborn?
Even if she takes off a layer of skin, the sword will still pierce her heart!
"Sister, I don't want to die, save me..."
Wu Xiao finally stopped laughing and stretched out his hand to Lin Meng with tears streaming down his face.
Then……
puff.
Another soft sound.
Wu Xiao's whole body froze, his eyes shrank, and then slowly spread, and soon he was completely dull, without any trace of brilliance.
She is dead.
The "Golden Spider" Wu Xiao, the third among the Seven Spider Sisters, died inexplicably before he could show off any martial arts or secret skills.
Lin Meng and others in front of her didn't even see clearly how much damage she had suffered.
Only Tang Feier, who was behind Wu Xiao, could see clearly.
It was still the skull claw. It released the hilt of the sword and used its middle and index fingers to simulate walking on human legs. It "flew" along the hilt and blade of the sword to the middle of the sword body, and then flexed its knuckles like a human being.
The legs flew like a body, flying like lightning to the back of Wu Xiao's head. Then the two fingers came together, the fingertips were like a cones, and with a pop, they pierced the back of Wu Xiao's head.
The back of the head is the most fatal part.
A third-level warrior may not die if his Tianling Cap is smashed or his brain is burst, but if he is stabbed into the back of the head with a sharp weapon, he will immediately be seriously injured and dying.
What's more, Wu Xiao, a fourth-level warrior who has just started training?
Seeing Wu Xiao fall straight to the ground, Tang Feier, who had witnessed the whole process of her death, tightly covered her mouth and let out a cry of fear and sorrow.
Lin Meng was so angry that he trembled all over and roared:
"Who is pretending? What kind of hero is a sneak attack on the back? Get out!"
Amid the roar, the predator-like coercion spread once again, sweeping across the cave.
At the same time, she waved a palm, and under the influence of the infuriating energy of the middle stage of the fourth grade, the "Shaking Mountain Palm Power" turned into a bloody palm print the size of a millstone, buzzing and trembling towards the one that was still hanging on Wu Xiao's back.
Skeleton claws trying to pull the sword out.
Then this palm force from the air hit the skull bone claw as expected.
The skull bone claws also made a clanging sound, and a goddess came and scattered flowers in all directions.
But Lin Mengtong suddenly shrank, and a flash of shock flashed in his eyes.
Because the power of her palm did not break any bones.
Even though the bone claw seems to have been smashed at first glance, there are many bones and finger bones in the human hand.
The skull's bones and claws were in a state of disintegration, and every bone in the palm and five fingers was scattered, but every joint seemed to be intact, without a single crack!
How tough must every bone of this skeleton claw be to remain intact under her "shaking palm power" with all her strength?
Yun Wei, Yue Ling'er, Yan Wufeng, and Wu Tianhong also had horrified expressions on their faces, and they couldn't help but take two steps back, staying away from the arm bones, leg bones and other broken bones scattered on the ground in front of them.
At this time, Lin Meng suddenly shrank and shouted:
"Sixth sister, be careful!"
Tang Feier, half of his body immersed in the soil and half of his body above the ground, heard the prompt. As soon as he escaped into the soil, he felt his throat tightening, as if his neck was being strangled by a whip covered with spinous processes.
Lin Meng, Yun Wei, Yue Ling'er, Yan Wufeng, Wu Tianhong, and all the sacrifices were clearly visible to the servants.
It was a whole spine. At some point, it sneaked up behind Tang Ling'er and suddenly rose up, like a smart white snake, and strangled her neck.
There is no vertebrae with any spiritual energy, so it is impossible for a warrior to sense it!
