Chapter Seventy-One: The Wraith
The continuous sound of "knock knock" made the fingers of the boss and the maid stop, and at the same time, it also woke up Maria who was sleeping lightly.
[Norman] didn't know when he opened his eyes, and followed the source of the sound to the location of the entrance to the dwelling, the giant mouth of the red dragon's corpse.
"What's going on... What's the matter?" Maria quickly stood up, "Doesn't that mean those things won't find here?"
"Like, it's not those things. Luo Qiu glanced at it and whispered, "It's something else." ”
"Anything else...... What?" Maria swallowed and foamed.
At this time, [Norman] walked directly towards the temporarily closed entrance. The sound of his footsteps was unusually slight, as if his weight had vanished, like a passing shadow.
At this entrance, there seemed to be another mechanism, and I saw [Norman] slowly turning a little on a giant dragon's tooth on the side of the giant mouth, and then I faintly heard a faint sound.
There seemed to be no change, but the many white bones used to seal the entrance suddenly loosened a little...... A crack about half a finger's width.
At this point, [Norman] leaned forward to the rift...... When his eyes had already glimpsed the outside world through this crack, he saw that [Norman] instantly looked away.
He turned his head and looked at the people inside, although his expression did not change much, but his eyes seemed to have a trace of doubt, and ...... Nervous.
But soon, he was once again looking at the crack.
I haven't spoken for a long time.
"To... What's out there? ...... you? Tell me?" Maria couldn't help but whisper.
I saw that [Norman] slowly looked away from him again at this time, and then stepped back step by step...... The action is as silent.
He returned to the crowd, met everyone's gaze, and after a while squeezed out his voice and said, "I... I don't know what it is. It seems to be ...... Child. ”
"Child, what child?" the witch lady couldn't help but be stunned.
Boss Luo looked at Youye at this time, and the maid lady understood, so she got up and walked directly to the position that [Norman] used to observe the outside, and began to look around.
At this time, the deep pit of corpses was still filled with the faint light of cyanobacteria...... Those strange and aggressive vines were everywhere at this time.
Like cobwebs, like blood vessels, they clinged to the piles of corpses and wriggled aimlessly on the ground...... But in addition to these things, there are dozens of small figures outside, walking slowly in the deep pit of corpses.
Very small...... It's really small.
One by one, only calf-high, naked children...... They are either staggering around or crawling slowly on the ground.
Didn't speak...... There wasn't even any communication.
The naked children were covered in mud and had eerie smiles on their faces...... Their eyes are not human, they are completely black.
"Hee-hee...... Hee-hee......"
"Hee-hee-hee-hee, hee-hee-hee......"
And the staccato laughter that came out of the mouths of these children...... the vines that would attack any living being, seemed to turn a blind eye at this time, and allowed this little figure to crawl and walk in their territory...... Even scrolling.
In the faint blue light, their skin looked gray and grayish-black...... Perhaps, they should have been a miserable white color.
Perhaps it was because the maid was so calm that Maria, driven by curiosity, gradually approached, and from the slightest crack, she also peeked at everything outside.
But almost in the next moment, she reached out and covered her mouth, and the edges of her eyes began to twitch slightly.
At this point, Yuya just glanced at Maria casually, then moved his steps lightly and returned to his master's side.
Without the same caution as [Norman]'s, the maid just said in her usual tone, "It should be some spirits." ”
Then, the maid described what she had seen to Luo Qiu before she continued: "I read in my diary that the people who live here have killed all the mutated offspring...... Probably because of the mutation, the mental power is stronger than that of ordinary children, so after death, it becomes a spirit. As for the environment here...... After absorbing the breath of death for a long time, the spirit directly becomes a resentful spirit, which is roughly like this. ”
Although this is the tone of inference...... But the maid's inference is that there has been no mistake since Luo Qiu met her.
"It turned out to be just some resentful spirits. The golden dragon didn't pay much attention to it...... For the last golden dragon, although it was a head-on or sneak attack, it was all blown up by the real dragon in the east, but except for Long Xiruo, a violent old woman, Fafnir (Na) really didn't fear anyone - at least in the [Inhuman Realm], it was scared when it saw it before it appeared.
Of course, there are a few who will scruple about it.
The golden dragon lost interest, but Boss Luo was interested at this time...... Now Luo Qiu will not give up any moment that will interest him.
acted, and even before consciousness thought, he had stood up.
But just as he was about to observe, something unusual happened - Maria stood motionless at the entrance for some reason...... It's as if I hadn't heard the conversation before.
Suddenly, she twisted her neck...... It's a very incongruous, weird twist.
Her eyes suddenly lost their white place...... Without speaking, Maria suddenly waved the wand she was holding—a lightning bolt shot out of the wand, and exploded directly through the bones that Norman used to block the entrance.
At the moment when Maria had this abnormal change and destroyed the entrance block, a figure shot out like lightning - [Norman]!
With great speed, he dodged in front of Maria, and without warning, he raised his hand and punched Maria in the abdomen, knocking her directly to the ground.
But it was also at this time that the destroyed entrance instantly ushered in the terrifying vines like tentacles of the [Lost Fangs].
It grew from all sides, spread in an instant, and in an instant, it had already covered the entire entrance...... Even, [Norman]'s legs at this time have been directly entangled in the fibrous roots of these vines!
He looked quite decisive, and waved his palms out...... As the fingertips of the fingers became sharp, they directly tore apart the vines under the legs.
But a screaming voice came from inside the residence...... It's the frightened cry of the girl Mina!
The fibrous roots had invaded the dwelling, and at this time, the young girl Mina, her legs and the area below her waist were already wrapped in a layer of wriggling vine fibrous roots.
[Norman]'s pupils instantly turned cyan in an instant, and at the same time, the vampire's fangs were already exposed at the slightly open lips—at a faster speed, like a gust of wind.
The fibrous roots on the girl's body were instantly disconnected, and she was already carried into the arms of [Norman].
Because of the need to rescue Mina, he naturally ignored Maria, who had been knocked unconscious on the ground, and the moment he left, Sugen had already wrapped Maria in the whole ground.
Instead, Fafnir stepped in and released a handful of dragon flames, burned the fibrous roots at the entrance, and then brought Maria back - although he hated women, at least he could not let his readers be indifferent to being hurt in front of him.
The maid retreated to Luo Qiu's side, looking down at the approaching vines, and just as she was about to make a move, the golden dragon's fingers were already waving.
The bright red dragon flame instantly burst into flames, burning all the fibrous roots around it to ashes.
The flames reddened the golden dragon's face, making it even more vivid...... In the firelight, the golden dragon chuckled and said, "Don't be afraid, no one, I will protect you...... I'll go back to these things!"
- Take a good look at my heroic posture!
As she spoke, Fafnir smiled coquettishly and rushed straight out of the entrance...... The fire, as it walked, spread straight out in all directions.
[Norman] didn't speak, just picked up Mina - this place had been invaded, and staying there would only make him feel like a trapped beast, and he needed to get out of this cramped space...... At least keep your vision on your own.
He didn't even say hello to the duo of bosses and maids, and the next moment the golden dragon rushed out, he rushed out very quickly.
Boss Luo glanced at the maid at this time, and then walked to Maria's side...... Just as he was about to get closer, she was stunned by [Norman], but suddenly opened her eyes.
Still with those all-black eyes.
In an instant, when Maria opened her eyes, she opened her mouth directly, and the sound from the depths of her throat was like the neighing of a snake or the roar of a beast...... She suddenly stretched out her hands and grabbed Luo Qiu's neck!
She's fast, and the maid is even faster than her...... Before she could fully stretch out her hands, she had already grabbed her forehead directly with the five fingers of the maid lady, and then pressed directly on the ground...... Half of his head is almost buried in the dirt.
Without any words, the maid's eyes were like blue ice crystals, and she raised her palm, and a cross sword condensed by black smoke flashed directly.
She whispered in Maria's ear, "Maria Hood, you are hoping that I have a valid reason to be able to... through your heart. ”
But I saw that Maria's eyes suddenly showed a hint of pain...... Then, she let out a terrible scream, and a black gas rushed out of her mouth...... Eventually, black particles converge in the air.
It was a black-haired, black-eyed, naked, little boy of about a year or two years old, smiling eerily - and Maria was unconscious again after exhaling this black breath.
At this time, this invaded Maria's body, and the resentful spirit that dominated her body and destroyed the entrance rushed towards Luo Qiu in an instant.
Miss Maid shot out the Black Flame Cross Sword in her hand with her backhand...... The moment the resentful spirit pounced, it was directly nailed to a rib in the red dragon's bone dwelling by the cross sword.
It struggled frantically in pain and fear, like all creatures subjected to such capital punishment.
"Miss Maria is fine. ”
Seeing this, Boss Luo asked softly.
"I just passed out unconscious, and when I stopped her, I broke three ribs. The maid smiled slightly, "It should be fine...... Also, there are two that are supposed to be caused by Mr. Vampire's boxing. ”
Meaning, it just means that you [accidentally] broke one...... And so on?
Luo Qiu's lips opened slightly...... Then he walked towards the wraith that had been nailed to the bone.
It couldn't break free from the cross-sword, and the flames on it were burning all of it—the source of its wails of pain.
Luo Qiu waved his hand, stopping the flames on the cross sword...... Or it stopped leaking out, but just maintained the shape of the sword.
Because the flames stopped burning, and they were only nailed, the spirits seemed to be less painful...... Stopped struggling for a moment.
He walked in front of the wraith, staring directly at its full black pupils, "Just now, were you knocking on the door?" ”
It doesn't even have eyes, its all-black eyes look like that...... There was no sound either.
"Here...... Is it your home? Luo Qiu asked softly again, "Once upon a time." ”
It fell completely silent, its head slowly tilted to the left and to the right, and from the right, to the left, and then it slowly stretched out its hand.
It opened its mouth...... It's like babbling, making some syllables with unclear meanings.
Luo Qiu gave it a real response, and also held out his finger. In the air, its tiny fingers finally touched Luo Qiu's fingers...... Boss Luo slowly closed his eyes.
The fibrous roots of the Lost Fangs grew again, once again invading the Red Dragon's Bone Dwelling.
This time, there was no golden dragon to show his heroic appearance—the golden dragon was now attacking recklessly in the pit of bones—but it was easy to guess from the movement that came.
There are no vampires who call themselves [Norman] either.
But there is a maid lady by Boss Luo's side.
When Luo Qiu closed his eyes and made contact with the resentful spirit in front of him, the maid whispered in an emotionless voice, "Don't disturb my master. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind digging you out of the earth and sending you into the sun to burn ...... Cain. ”
The roots that were growing wildly suddenly began to wither...... After a while, the fibrous roots that had grown in the dwelling suddenly became dry and cracked.
Luo Qiu suddenly opened his eyes at this time, then stretched out his other hand to the maid and smiled: "You can come too." ”
So the maid smiled, moved to her master's side, wrapped her fingers around it, and slowly closed her eyes.
What opens up is the resigned spirit's once, short-lived memory.
And outside the dwelling of the red dragon bones, the golden dragon Fafnir (younger) Sheng (sister) is becoming a ...... for the smile of the Pomeranians. Arsonist.
