Chapter 57
Because of his young age and poor moral character, Zhou Xu didn't want to sit on the ground when he hid in the corner. He used Xia Qiao's shoes as a seat cushion and sat comfortably.
Xia Qiao finally freed his legs and carefully stretched them straight. Just as he was about to stretch his sore ankles, he suddenly saw the talisman paper on the scroll door moving automatically without wind, with the bottom gently floating up and down.
His movements froze, and he stretched his legs and did not dare to move.
Then, a few shadows quietly appeared under the door. Just like the one in the corner before, only this time there are more of them.
It seemed as if something was standing straight outside the door, staring at the people inside.
Xia Qiao's scalp was numb and he broke into a cold sweat. He rolled his eyes and glanced around, counting the number of shadows in his mind: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
"Brother." He called. Because I was too scared, I didn't even make a sound.
"Thank you, boss." He called again, and in a state of collapse, he chose someone closer to him, "Thank you, boss?"
Xie Wen bent sideways and said, "Huh?"
Xia Qiao pointed to the crack in the door and said tremblingly: "There is something outside. I suspect all five shopkeepers are here."
Xie Wen said: "Five? You think so beautifully."
Xia Qiao was at a loss for a moment. Before he could digest what Xie Wen meant, he heard a loud "bang" from the scroll door!
The door instantly dented a large piece!
boom!
There was another sound, and the scroll door behind him also changed its shape, and five-finger paw prints could be seen!
The people who were originally in a pool of stagnant water jumped up in an instant, grabbed their companions' arms and shoulders, and tried their best to shrink into the middle.
boom!
Everyone watched helplessly as the scroll door was broken open, as if it was not made of metal at all, but made of paper.
Zhou Xu is closest to that place.
He looked at the gap with a bloodless face, and heard faint breathing coming from outside, faint, like a sigh.
He silently took a step back with his left foot, leaned back, and was about to retreat quietly——
Just listen to the bang!
Suddenly a hand came out of the breach! The cold fingertips touched Zhou Xu's face.
Zhou Xu was so distraught that he screamed and retreated.
The next moment, the scroll doors on both sides collapsed to the ground, revealing the dark faces outside...
Xia Qiao finally understood what Xie Wen meant: There were more than five people here, this was a city besieged by hundreds of ghosts.
In an instant, he almost had the illusion that Wangquan Eternal City was not a shopping mall at all, but a real Huangquan cemetery.
Zhou Xu fell down while trying to avoid it. When he scrambled to get up, he came face to face with the pale and old face of Mrs. Xu.
Even if she had no expression at all, she was smiling. The corners of the mouth are very curved, with no teeth visible, just like a curved crack.
Zhou Xu screamed and turned to the right, and saw another old lady Xu, grinning exactly the same smile and looking at him motionless.
He tried to go to the left again, still the same!
In addition to Mrs. Xu, he also saw several other impressive shopkeepers, and the same was true, as if they were everywhere.
The dark human faces are like ghosts hitting the wall in another sense. Each of them is the eyes, ears, hands and feet of the cage owner, looking directly at the group of strangers entering the cage.
Feng Yin came over miserably.
The group of things screamed, their pale white faces quickly elongated, their mouths were like open holes, and they rushed towards them with a mighty force!
"Ahhhhh——"
Everyone was scared crazy on the spot!
Zhou Xu was knocked to the ground and watched helplessly as a face roared towards him——
I'm dying.
he thought.
His hands and feet were cold, and he closed his eyes tightly, waiting for that moment to come. However, the expected pain and horror did not come. Instead, something rubbed the top of his hair.
At that moment, he heard the sonorous sound of strings.
Soon he realized that it was not a string, but a thread.
Zhou Xu opened his eyes suddenly, raised his head, and saw Wen Shi's thin chin and thin white hands. Familiar threads were wrapped around the fingers, and the roots were tight.
Are you going to tie someone up again?
Zhou Xu thought subconsciously.
He knows much better than Xia Qiao. He knows that many new puppet masters can only make flowers, birds, fish and insects. They cannot make a decent puppet that can save lives. At the critical moment, they can only swing the empty rope and control the white cotton thread of the puppet. Be a different kind of whip wielder.
Either bound or strangled.
In his eyes, Wen Shi is such a person.
But there are so many monsters at the moment, how can they survive? I can stop this, but I can't stop that. I'm stretched thin.
I'm still going to die.
Zhou Xu thought.
When I heard it, another thing was thrown out. It seemed to be a paper ball and I couldn't see clearly. Zhou Xu moved his eyes numbly, watching the small group fall into the group of monsters... and burst into flames.
Suddenly, a strong wind blows! Howling through the entire corridor, like an animal's clear roar.
Zhou Xu was hit by the heat and had to raise his elbow to shield himself.
The moment he opened his eyes again, he saw a giant python that was completely black and trembling with intense flames, snaking past the monster's head, coiling in a circle, and then sweeping out from the group of monsters.
The black python is so big that it can wrap around the entire corridor. It was surrounded by iron chains, and as it swam, the chains made a clanging sound. There is flow on every chain
The mark is dark gold, with sparks looming.
Those marks mark the origin of the giant python——
