Chapter 642: Red Light Hanging Above
The running digger soon disappeared into the dark tunnel.
Their movements were agile and nimble, like students rushing to the cafeteria to grab food after school at noon, leaving behind only piles of dying bonfires.
When...when...
But the gong sound did not stop, and a red light appeared in the darkness. The red light should have come from a red lantern, the kind used during festivals or weddings. Something was using this lantern to provide lighting.
The problem is, the lantern is too high!
The candlelight shone through the red gauze, illuminating everything around with a bloody red. Seeing this, Wu Xian hurriedly looked around and took the other four people to find a groove on the rock wall to hide and observe.
Then, I saw something strange.
This thing was three meters tall and thinner than an ordinary person. Its hands and feet were strangely long. It was wearing a tattered patchwork robe with a vertical blood-red rune on the front of the robe. The blood at the end of the rune flowed all the way to the hem of the robe. It held a gong and a gong hammer in each hand.
The strangest thing is that this thing has no head on its neck, only a red lantern like a big pumpkin, and the tassel under the lantern sways with his movements.
There were a dozen people following this thing.
These people also had numb faces like the diggers, but their job was not to dig but to carry, and each of them carried a large amount of supplies.
There was wood, plant tubers, water, and pieces of meat that looked very suspicious. They repeated the action of walking to the designated location and putting down the supplies.
Wu Xian suddenly realized.
It seems that this evil spirit with a red lantern should be similar to a worker manager. He leads these porters to deliver the supplies to the place where the workers rest.
Some people are responsible for digging the tunnel, and some are responsible for logistics. There should be a very large project under this tunnel.
Soon the porters finished their work, but they still had a small amount of supplies on them.
Wu Xian's face changed slightly after seeing this.
These things are also responsible for providing supplies for the four excavators at the entrance of the crack, but if they want to go to the entrance of the crack, they must pass through the hiding place of Wu Xian and his five companions!
Wu Xian touched the small golden bell in his hand. If they were bound to meet, perhaps he could try to kill this evil spirit and see the quality of the evil spirit in this blessed land.
But just as Wu Xian's murderous intention arose, the brightness of the evil red lantern suddenly increased. The strange red light even illuminated everything around, and the light also spread to the place where Wu Xian and others were hiding.
The red light seemed to carry some strange power. When Wu Xian and the other four saw the light, they all felt uncomfortable and a little dizzy, just like the feeling of motion sickness.
The figure of the man with the red light seemed to be distorted in the red light. His thin body moved with uncoordinated steps and approached in a strange but fast manner!
It was discovered!
The feminine man Miao Ling screamed in fear and quickly ran to the back. Wang Jiudan did not run away but his scalp was tingling.
The three followers stood separately to avoid being caught in the evil spirit's area attack.
Han Yu, the freckled girl, was the first to rush towards the red light. Her movements were nimble and light, and her feet seemed to be equipped with springs. She dodged and evaded the red light, and occasionally harassed and attacked.
Wu Xian assumed an aggressive posture and released the Soul-Hunting Lock at the same time.
Guo Xiake felt somewhat embarrassed, so he immediately ran away and took out a spell scroll, ready for a sneak attack at any time.
According to his previous experience in the blessed land, if he was too close, the flying rocks or splattered blood would definitely affect him. When they just formed a team, the three followers had already established a plan for encountering evil spirits. One person pretended to attack to attract attention, one prepared a spell to choose the right time to kill, and Wu Xian was ready to prevent any unexpected situations.
None of the three of them were too nervous. It shouldn't be a big problem if they joined forces to deal with an evil spirit.
Han Yu, who was feinting an attack, even had some playful thoughts, and dodged the red light driver's waving arms as if showing off his skills.
This guy was too slow. Even without the other two, she could easily handle it by herself. Then Han Yu heard a "buzz" sound!
The head of the red light suddenly became extremely bright. She was frozen in mid-air while trying to turn over and jump. Her eyes were filled with the dazzling red light, and her consciousness seemed to be taken away by the dazzling red light...
From the perspective of Wu Xian and others, the red light emitted from the red lantern suddenly gathered together and covered Han Yu's body at an unimaginable speed.
"not good!"
Wu Xian was shocked.
This evil creature with a red lantern head actually possesses a magic similar to the 'immobilization technique'!
He was about to rescue the situation when he suddenly heard a deafening gong sound. The man with the red lantern struck the gong he was carrying again!
When, when...
This time the gong sounded louder and more rapid, like some kind of command. The sound was extremely penetrating, like a devil's sound filling the ears, causing everyone who heard it to feel dizzy.
All of Wu Xian's accumulated firepower was released onto the ground, burning the rocks on the ground until they started smoking. Guo Xiake was also dizzy and unable to aim and release the talismans.
The red light not only has a controlling effect on the light, but even the sound of the gong has a strong interference effect!
At the same time, the numb porters also took action, picked up targets as thick as their arms, and slowly walked towards the crowd.
They bypassed Han Yu and targeted Wu Xian and four others!
Judging from their actions, they seemed to be using wooden sticks to cripple Wu Xian and others' ability to move!
Compared with swords and evil claws, these sticks are ridiculously weak, but Wu Xian and his men’s bodies are not made of iron and cannot withstand the attacks of wooden sticks at all!
In Wu Xian's eyes, each numb human face was divided into more than a dozen parts, twisting and shaking gradually approaching, like evil ghosts demanding death, even more terrifying than some evil spirits.
If it were an ordinary person, there would be nothing he could do at this moment.
But Wu Xian was a Lotus Dependent after all, with many bonuses from his Taoism, so his resistance was slightly stronger than that of ordinary people. He used all his strength and raised his wrist little by little. At this speed, he only needed to be hit by two sticks to counter Red Light Head's ability.
But at this moment, suddenly a force came out of nowhere, Wu Xian raised his hand and shook his wrist!
Jingle Bell……
The little golden bell rang!
The first shake causes a loud bang, the second shake causes thick smoke, and the third shake causes flames!
If you want to crack the control of the gong's sound, just shaking it is enough!
The loud ringing of the bell made everyone's ears numb and also lifted the controlling effect of the gong.
Guo Xiake took the opportunity to release the spell he had prepared long ago. A white gas as thin as a finger flew out and landed on the top of Hong Dengtou's head.
The huge red lantern froze instantly, and the biting cold extinguished the flame in the lantern. The red lantern owner covered his head without making a sound, but twisted his body strangely a few times before falling to the ground, and the lantern shattered into scraps...
