Démon infernal

Chapitre 36

It looked very smooth and lustrous, and the green light was very soft. Shixin pressed her eyes against the gap and looked at it more and more. She felt that the bead must be a rare treasure. Although the brightness was not enough to be used for lighting, how pleasant it would be to have such a beautiful bead in the home!

"What are you looking at? Let me see too."

Just as Ah Mao was about to chase after her, he saw Shi Xin suddenly leaning against the wall looking into something, so he immediately came over as well.

"Look, there's a bead inside, it's so pretty!"

Ah Mao peeked inside with one eye open and one eye closed, and in an instant his face was filled with a look of greed and cunning, he was simply greedy and treacherous to the extreme!

"Judging from this, it must be a valuable item, a national treasure-level antique. If we sell it, we'll never have to worry about money again."

Shi Xin rolled her eyes at him: "Have some class, will you? Why does everything have to be related to money?"

Ah Mao scratched his head: "This wall is so thick, it seems very difficult to get it."

Shi Xin nodded slightly. Just then, a loud, piercing scream came from the corridor, like the scream of someone being roasted by fire...

Human vs. Ghost (Part 2) - Seeing the Jewel

Volume 3, Chapter 57: The War Between Humans and Ghosts (Part 2)

They looked at each other for a while, both puzzled. Had Gu Feng succeeded?

Their eyes seemed to have adapted to the darkness, and even as they ran forward, they weren't afraid of getting stuck on anything. After passing through the skull array, they were faced with an extremely bizarre scene.

For some reason, the zombie's hip joints could twist, and it ended up sitting on that eerie stone slab, its whole body convulsing. Its empty white eyes told them that it was suffering extreme pain.

Shixin asked incredulously, "What...what's going on?!"

Gu Feng stared expressionlessly at the zombie on the stone slab, seemingly puzzled as he watched the red liquid emanating from the slab continuously move across its body. After a while, as if finally confirming that it was no longer a threat, he resolutely raised his left hand and covered the top of its head. Although the zombie might no longer pose a threat, he never dared to be careless!

Shixin and Amao were stunned; they almost cried out in surprise.

The moment Gu Feng's hand touched the zombie's head, a wisp of murky black smoke rose from the zombie's forehead, lingering for a while before completely dissipating, seemingly swimming outwards like a living organism...

What surprised them was not this. After regaining his senses, "Gu Feng" tried to give chase, but after a while, his hand was rooted to the ground and he couldn't pull it out.

Seeing Gu Feng's efforts going awry and his face gradually turning red with pain, Shi Xin's heart ached.

One by one, the "blood streaks" began to abandon the zombie and wrapped around Gu Feng's hands. His face was bulging with veins, his complexion turned from red to green, and his body began to twitch uncontrollably, creating a stark contrast with the zombie that had begun to sit still.

Chu Yun'er's soul, which had been under immense pressure deep within Gu Feng's body, suddenly seemed to feel the pressure from the outside lighten, and a strange power, even stronger than that of "Zheng Yangzi"'s soul, was about to invade her body.

That power was amazing. After I came into contact with a bit of the force field flowing into my body, I suddenly felt a clear mind. The pain from the pressure just now vanished instantly, and my whole body felt relaxed.

But why does Zhengyang seem to be in so much pain? Logically, he should be enjoying it more than I am!

Shixin's face was clouded with worry.

"Gu Feng, I'm here to save you!"

The sixth dan in Taekwondo is tested on breaking an eight-centimeter wooden board. You can imagine how much impact it must generate in an instant. Shixin kicked the zombie, who was sitting there completely still, hard.

Ah Mao scratched his head. I was extremely depressed!

Where did that indestructible "corpse general" who fought Gu Feng for dozens of moves go? (Don't think I mistyped, it's correct, it's "corpse general," the corpse of a general.)

He actually saw the corpse fly away, decaying and scattered all over the ground!?

Gu Feng collapsed as if granted a pardon.

Shixin reacted quickly and caught him.

Gu Feng looked at him strangely, and then inexplicably said in a very strange tone, "It's you?"

Shixin looked at him with a puzzled expression, wondering to herself, "If it wasn't me, could it be Ah Mao?"

"Brother Feng, what's wrong with your voice?" Ah Mao came up from behind and asked after hearing his voice.

Gu Feng ignored him and stared intently at Shi Xin.

Shi Xin felt a pang of discomfort. Suddenly, she realized that the person in her hand was not Gu Feng at all. Why were his eyes so greedy, like a wolf about to devour its prey?

In a fit of temper, Shixin simply let go, allowing Gu Feng to fall.

The "ancient style" hovering in the air looked at Shi Xin, who had her back to him, with great surprise, and suddenly thought to himself, "She is still the same, nothing has changed."

"Ouch!" Gu Feng grimaced as he stood up, rubbing the back of his head. He suddenly froze, "How come it's better?"

Shixin and Amao were both completely confused: "What's done?"

Gu Feng murmured in surprise, "Weren't we... just now... trapped and about to die by that ghostly energy? How come...?"

Shi Xin leaned closer, puzzled, and patted Gu Feng's head: "You don't have a fever, do you?"

Ah Mao said, "Brother Feng, are you serious? You lost your memory just from such a light fall?"

Shi Xin immediately stroked Gu Feng's head as if she were looking after a child: "I don't remember using much force, Feng, are you alright?"

"What? What's going on? What happened?"

Ah Mao cleared his throat and began to recount, "This is what happened..."

Gu Feng's face was filled with disbelief: "How is that possible? You mean I know Taoist magic? And I beat zombies to a pulp?"

Ah Mao nodded in confirmation, "It's true, you can ask Shi Xin if you don't believe me."

Gu Feng turned to her with a questioning look. Shi Xin: "That's how it is."

Gu Feng scratched his head: "Where did that happen? I don't remember anything about it."

Shixin apologized, "It's all my fault. I didn't expect that a gentle touch would cause you to lose your memory. I'm so sorry."

Gu Feng said somewhat blankly, "It's okay."

What exactly happened?

"Gu Feng, are you back?" Chu Yun'er's words welled up in my mind.

Gu Feng asked warily, "Why do you ask that?"

Chu Yun'er sounded a little flustered: "No, I just blurted it out!"

Gu Feng didn't delve into the matter further, but asked, "Did you hear those two absurd things they just said? Did I really lose my memory? Did I really do such a great thing?"

Chu Yun'er said with certainty, "That's right, all of these... were done by 'you'."

To be precise, it's all probably made by your body!

The ancient style was completely baffled.

Why can't I remember anything?

The Battle Between Humans and Ghosts (Part 2)

Chapter 58 of Volume 3 of the main text: Azure Spirit Pearl

Shi Xin said, "Anyway, it wasn't a pleasant experience, so let's just forget about it. Gu Feng, I just found a really pretty bead outside!"

"Beautiful beads?"

"Yes, come with me."

Gu Feng temporarily stopped communicating with Chu Yun'er in his heart and followed Shi Xin outside.

Upon reaching the cave entrance, I suddenly glanced back habitually. It seemed like something was missing inside the cave.

He rubbed his still slightly numb head blankly, trying to calm himself down and accept the fact that he had "amnesia." After passing through the "skull array," he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered the red light on the stone slab. Where had the strange liquid, which was like a flowing blood vessel, gone during his "amnesia"?

Suddenly, he couldn't help but clench his fist. He felt inexplicably hot, as if a raging fire was burning inside him, threatening to consume him. Sweat poured out, dripping onto the ground. He could only hold on for six or seven seconds before he couldn't take it anymore. Gu Feng had to lean against the stone wall and sit down, panting heavily.

In such a silent space, how obvious would it be if there were no footsteps? Shi Xin immediately realized that something was wrong with Gu Feng behind her, and turned around to greet him: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

The ancient style has become so popular that people are speechless. When they open their mouths, they almost breathe steam. Their determined faces are twisted into inhuman shapes by unspeakable pain. They are extremely puzzled. What's going on? Why is it so hot?

Shi Xin began to tense up. In the dimly lit underground tunnel, whether it was her eyes playing tricks on her or something else, she could see Gu Feng's skin faintly glowing with a reddish light? Like charcoal about to ignite, it seemed as if it might burst into flames at any moment and incinerate Gu Feng!

"Gu Feng, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Shi Xin could feel her heart racing with tension, and at this moment, even though she knew he was in danger, she could do nothing but worry!

Ah Mao touched Gu Feng's head, and Gu Feng recoiled as if he had touched a red-hot iron clamp. Good heavens! Is this temperature even human-grade? Brother Feng, how could you be so unlucky? You just lost your memory and now you've been caught in some kind of fire demon, and you're about to be burned alive!

Chu Yun'er felt her nearly exhausted spiritual power being entangled by a strange heat current, blocking all channels of communication between her and Gu Feng. Her conscious soul felt as if it were being imprisoned.

Gu Feng's consciousness began to blur. He could sense Shi Xin and A Mao calling out to him and kneading him, but his whole body felt as if it had been burned away by that nameless fire. Only his remaining will was anxious and unable to comfort them...

What's wrong with me?

Gu Feng asked in his heart.

He hoped to get a reply from Chu Yun'er, but little did he know that he was completely separated from her. Even if he silently recited it tens of millions of times, she would not be able to sense it.

Gu Feng suddenly shuddered. He realized that his hands had suddenly regained their feeling of coldness, feeling icy cold, as if they were frozen in a block of ice.

He barely opened his eyes a little and was surprised to find that it was Shixin's hand holding his.

Why are her hands so cold?

…

Ah Mao shivered. Shi Xin beside him seemed to instantly turn into an iceberg. Unparalleled cold air filled the narrow tunnel. Even with Gu Feng, who was like a "charcoal about to burn," he still shrank his neck and legs, lamenting in his heart that he wasn't wearing enough clothes.

Gu Feng sighed inwardly. Chu Yun'er had once said that Shi Xin was the reincarnation of a powerful being, and it seemed that she was right...

She didn't even show any spiritual power when she was possessed by a ghost last time, so why is she suddenly showing it now?

Could it be...

Was she doing this for me?

Thinking of this, Gu Feng couldn't help but scold himself for being arrogant and self-righteous.

Do I, with my traditional Chinese style, have that kind of charm? Heh…

Although the sudden, overwhelming coldness emanating from Shi Xin was enough to freeze one's heart, Gu Feng sighed helplessly. Compared to the fiery heat flowing like volcanic lava within his body, Shi Xin's coldness, separated by a barrier, was clearly insufficient.

Ah Mao was curled up in a corner far away from the wall. Damn it, the wind didn't seem to be getting any cooler!

Even a cat could spot the problem, let alone Shi Xin. She suddenly released her hand, letting go of Gu Feng, leaving behind a trail of graceful shadows as she disappeared behind the grotto…
