Resentment and residual soul cannot hurt Tong Yan. The only damage caused is probably the psychological shadow.
After Gu Yuqi appeared, she was no longer the only one in the dark space, and her tense nerves relaxed.
Gu Yuqi stepped forward and pulled her up, patted the non-existent dust on her body, and watched Tong Yan pull back his hands and cross them, move his wrists back and forth, and his eyebrows softened unconsciously.
"Call me, I want to hear you."
Call him Aqi?
Tong Yan paused and looked up at him with a surprised expression. She felt that he was extremely shameless and a bit embarrassed.
He blurted out, "Get out! I won't."
After saying this, I realized that I was overly emotional, like a little girl who was being teased. I immediately shut my mouth tightly and took two steps back, determined to stay away from the person in front of me.
Knowing that she would not change her words obediently, Gu Yuqi had already been mentally prepared, but seeing her move away from him in a panic still made him feel angry.
He took a step forward, pressed his palm on the back of her neck, and forced her to look at him, her black eyes gradually turning red.
Tong Yan felt uncomfortable and wanted to speak, but lost his voice when he met those scarlet eyes.
"I won't force you to do anything, but you can't leave my side."
The two looked at each other silently, the silence and oppression almost taking away all her breath.
After a few long breaths, Tong Yan raised her hand and tentatively patted away the hand that was controlling her, breaking the silence. Gu Yuqi also let go of her.
Tong Yan first looked away and looked at the darkness around him. He tightened his hanging hands again and again, trying to keep his tone as normal as possible and said, "Let's find a way to get out of here first."
Gu Yuqi closed his eyes and said after a while, "Okay."
She saw his eyes.
During this period of time, she had always felt that there was not much difference between Gu Yuqi after he became a demon and the person before he became a demon. Whether he was acting or fighting, he was still calm and rational, which was shocking.
If it weren't for the demonic aura in him that couldn't be faked, she wouldn't even believe that he was possessed.
Until just now, those scarlet eyes were not because of their unusual color, but because of the almost uncontrollable anger and paranoia inside.
For a moment, it was as if I wanted to kill her, then devour her into my belly so that she could never run away again and no one could take her away.
She looked very calm on her face, but her heart was beating violently, and her previously vague cognition finally became clear.
Gu Yuqi... was really obsessed with it.
This is indeed not the place to talk. The effect of golden lotus seeds is about to come. If we can't find a safe place as soon as possible to re-suppress the demonic nature after being possessed, then the spiritual platform will be lost, our sanity will be lost, and we will really become a monster that can only kill.
Gu Yuqi gathered a thunder light, which could both illuminate and expel the remaining souls. The two of them walked forward in one direction, unimpeded in the thick fog of resentment.
The road ahead seemed to have no end. I just felt that the space was gradually getting narrower, leaving only space for three or four people to pass side by side. The thick fog had dissipated at this moment, and there were stones, large or small, piled randomly on the ground. At first glance, they seemed like
Useless.
However, during this period of time, after Tong Yan's formation skills were specifically guided by Gu Yuqi, his level improved by at least one level. After a while, he realized that these seemingly messy stones were actually part of the formation.
She just slowly thought about what kind of formation it formed and what its purpose was.
Just when she was lost in thought, she inadvertently saw blue rays of light extending all around, following a special trajectory and covering the stone walls on both sides.
So she immediately lowered her head and looked at their feet. All the blue light finally gathered at Gu Yuqi's feet. She then raised her head and looked at Gu Yuqi.
He is breaking out of the formation, or he may be looking for the only safe passage in the formation.
Feeling her gaze, Gu Yuqi didn't turn his head, raised his hand and touched the top of her hair, then took her hand and said softly, "Don't think about it, just follow us."
A faint blue light illuminated the entire passage. The two of them walked slowly side by side. If they ignored the hidden dangers under their feet, it would feel like they were walking through a certain avenue of stars.
The moment her hand was held, Tong Yan was slightly startled. Before that, Gu Yuqi had always only held her wrist or sleeve, but now...
She tried to withdraw her hand, but the other party's grip tightened. She gritted her teeth, endured the resistance in her heart, and decided to wait until she finished walking through this space full of formations.
The end of the passage is very bright, at least twice as bright as the surrounding blue light, and the light source is the candlelight set up on the stone wall.
After walking out of the cave, the map was basically completely changed. The layout here was more like the entrance of an underground palace. The roads were paved with uniform floor tiles, and the two walls were made of regular square bricks.
After stopping, Tong Yan withdrew his hand while combing his hair. He didn't dare to look in the expected direction, so he looked randomly at the surrounding walls.
At this glance, I noticed something strange about the wall.
"Look at the wall."
Putting aside the possibility of laying bricks so deep underground, if you look closely at these walls, you will find that there are large gaps between many square bricks and they look very loose, as if they will fall off at any time.
And the color of many bricks looks slightly lighter than the color next to them.
It is somewhat far-fetched to explain it as being in disrepair. It is more likely that it requires frequent activities and deliberately left a large gap.
Tong Yan observed everything with the confidence of his naked eyes and spiritual consciousness, but strangely found no problems.
Gu Yuqi moved away from her face, glanced at the wall intently, only warned her to be careful, and then stepped out first, walking ahead.
Tong Yan followed closely, and as soon as his heels stepped on the floor of the corridor, there was a sound immediately behind him. Looking back, he saw that the passage he came from had collapsed, completely blocking the exit.
At this moment, they have no choice but to move forward.
Tong Yan's heart sank slightly, and some uneasiness arose in his heart. He subconsciously looked at Gu Yuqi, but saw that he only glanced briefly and then looked away, not caring that there was no way out.
The candlesticks on the wall are placed ten steps apart, symmetrical to the left and right, and only one pair will burn at the same time. Only when the next pair is crossed, the next pair of candlesticks will light up.
The corridor is straight, and at the end separated by dozens of pairs of candlesticks, there is a pair of candles that continue to glow and heat.
It not only illuminates the bronze door at the end, but also adds a sense of solidity to those standing on this long and dim corridor.
In the gap before the second candle went out and the third one came on, for a short period of two breaths, two red lights suddenly flashed on the bronze door at the end.
Just like a ferocious beast opening its eyes, the dangerous aura rushes towards you instantly.
Almost at the moment when the next light was turned on, dense friction sounds and fierce wind sounds came one after another.
Tong said that they had been prepared for this for a long time, and it was not difficult to deal with these sudden attacks.
At this time, the candlestick was already lit, and under the unclear light, the origin and appearance of these flying objects were clearly visible.
It is formed by the square bricks on the wall. It is somewhat inaccurate to say that it is formed by square bricks. It should be said that these flying objects will disguise themselves as bricks to confuse the human eye when they are not attacking.
These flying objects that could transform into different forms scattered into a pile of sand after being chopped down, but then quickly gathered together to attack again.
A stone knife cut the back of Tong Yan's hand. Normally, she would not even notice such a small injury, but this time, she felt that the wound of less than two centimeters was particularly painful, as if she had been splashed first.
After adding chili pepper water and then pouring liquor, it was very hot and irritating to the nerves.
Holding back the pain of the wound, she urged Gu Yuqi to speed up her pace. She took the initiative to pull up his sleeve with her left hand and let him lead her forward. Then she turned around and concentrated on dealing with more and more attacks.
Gu Yuqi in front was so focused on breaking the formation that he didn't notice that most of the attacks were attracted by Tong Yan next to him.
After three more lights, he finally saw through the mystery of the array. Before he could fully understand his thoughts, he smelled a strong smell of blood.
