Chapter 897: Ghost in the Mist

After the shock, what emerged was not panic.

Some people will collapse under extreme pressure, but some people...will wake up.

When Xiao Ling was grabbed into the door, Wang Tanzhi did not collapse. On the contrary, his shock value dropped rapidly, and his mind was working rapidly.

A second later, he took two steps forward, grabbed the copper handle on the door and pushed forward.

But the door...did not move at all.

"Something is wrong..." Xiao Tan immediately opened the [Eagle Eye Vision] to observe. It doesn't matter if it is not opened, but once it is opened, he found that...not only this temple door, but the entire temple is shrouded in a kind of ghostly aura that is difficult to see with the naked eye. It can be seen from this...even if he chooses to climb over the wall now, he still can't get in.

"So that's it..." Xiao Tan thought, "Logically, this door can't be pushed open. Xiao Ling was able to push it open, so it must be the 'thing inside the door' that did it on purpose. To put it bluntly... it's a trap."

Thinking of this, his mind moved, and in less than half a second, his psychic weapon [Sigh] was already in his hand.

Then, without saying anything, Wang Tanzhi swung his arm and slashed continuously. Relying on the weapon's special effect "Flame Devouring", he cut out another rectangular "doorway" on the door.

As the thick door panel that was cut fell down, a strong smell of blood also came out from the door.

But at this moment, Xiao Tan didn't care about these at all. His mind was all focused on how to save Xiao Ling. This discomfort at the olfactory level could be completely ignored by willpower.

"It must not have run far... Where is it..." Xiao Tan walked through the Sanmen Hall (also known as the "Mountain Gate Hall", which is the main gate of a Buddhist temple. Usually there are three gates standing side by side, hence the name. Another saying is that the three gates refer to the "Empty Gate, the Gate of No Form, and the Gate of No Wish", that is, the "Three Gates of Liberation" without hesitation, muttering something in his mouth.

He kept his eagle eyes and swept his sight across the courtyard behind the door at high speed. Soon... he found the blood mist just now.

Because Xiao Ling, who was trapped in the mist, was struggling all the time, the movement of the mist was greatly affected; therefore. When Xiao Tan broke into the door, the blood mist just moved to the incense burner in front of the hall.

Chi——

A figure appeared.

Wang Tan took a step with an arrow-like momentum, and in a blink of an eye, he had circled in front of the blood mist.

"Stop." The cold words and the firm and murderous eyes made the monster holding Xiao Ling dare not move for a while.

After a brief confrontation, the blood mist dissipated.

But... in the fog, an extremely beautiful woman appeared.

This woman had skin as white as cream. Her face was like peach blossoms; her teeth were white and her eyes were bright; her lips were red like cherry blossoms. Her pale face was slightly flushed, and her facial features were so delicate that no flaws could be found.

She was wearing a red dress, like a bride waiting to be married. Even though the dress didn't show her figure, her figure still looked slender and well-proportioned.

"Hey~ Where did this young man come from~ He's really handsome~" After the woman "appeared", she pinched Xiao Ling's neck with one hand, turned sideways, and looked Xiao Tan up and down with her beautiful eyes. "What do you want from me?"

Wang Tanzhi looked at the other person coldly and was silent for a few seconds...

Through the Eagle Eye Vision, Xiao Tan suddenly discovered that this was a very strong monster (due to the special effects of [Shadow of the Death Bell], the effect of [Eagle Eye Vision] was upgraded to S-level)... at least a small boss level. So, in these few seconds, he was ready to fight with all his strength.

A few seconds later, he responded with two words: "Let her go."

"Heh..." The woman smiled softly. "Why... Is this girl your lover?"

"Yes." Xiao Tan gave another concise response.

At this moment, all the single dogs who were watching the live broadcast suffered a lot of real damage...

"Is that so..." The woman turned her head slightly and looked at Xiao Ling in a pretentious manner. "Take a closer look... this girl is also very pretty, and she is quite a good match for you... hehe..." She smiled sinisterly, "But I wonder... if she lost this face... would you still love her?"

Before she finished speaking, something strange happened!

The woman's cherry-like mouth opened and widened to an incredible size in a second. And her face also became ugly and horrible, and no longer human because of the expanded mouth.

"呷——" She opened her bloody mouth and bit Xiao Ling's face.

At this moment, Xiao Ling could not effectively resist this attack... because when Xiao Ling was sucked into the blood mist, the status bar showed that she was hit by a debuff; unless the opponent was willing to let her go, otherwise... she could not take things from the bag, and could not use skills.

Moreover, Xiao Ling's melee physical skills were originally poor, and she was definitely not the opponent of this boss-level monster in terms of brute force. Therefore... at this moment, she could only bear the attack on her face.

However... Wang Tanzhi would not let this happen.

Although the monster's attack was sudden and fast, Xiao Tan's reaction and actions were faster.

[Name: Wolf Soul-Speed]

[Type: Other]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Special Effect: When this magic device is in your bag, you can gain a special ability of Wolf Soul. ]

[Note: This item can be activated once every ten minutes, consuming 300 physical points each time. Within three seconds after activation, it can increase the user's speed to three times the original speed. ]

This magic device is the second "treasure" that Xiao Tan got from Blackbeard's treasure. This is equivalent to giving him an extra skill, and this skill does not occupy the skill bar and can be activated 100% successfully.

Of course, since it is an item effect, this skill does not belong to any specialization, and will not enjoy the effect bonus of [Shadow of the Death Knell].

Huh——

In an instant, a strong wind blew up, and Wang Tan's figure suddenly blurred, turning into a phantom, and swept towards the monster.

Where Tan's blade passed, black flames leaped.

In an instant, the monster's head was directly split in half from the middle, and the two parts above and below the lip line were completely separated.

Seeing that most of her head flew away, it was naturally impossible to close her mouth again...

At the same time, Xiao Ling suddenly felt the pressure on her body lighten, which was undoubtedly a sign that the debuff had been lifted. She immediately twisted her body and pushed, getting rid of the monster's clamp.

Then, the monster fell to the ground... This was expected, because before the body fell, the soul was gone.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Tan returned his attack and asked Xiao Ling with concern.

"It's okay..." Xiao Ling responded, and then continued with some depression, "But... I really lost my composure, a mistake... I almost died in the hands of the monster."

"This is not your problem..." Xiao Tan continued, "Measured by the standards of survival mode, the difficulty of this script should be a team nightmare, so this kind of death incident with almost no signs of opening the door will occur." He paused and glanced at the monster on the ground, "Don't think it seems easy for me to kill her, in fact, she is very strong..."

As he said this, the "corpse" of the monster was slowly The ground turned into blood and seeped into the cracks of the stone slabs on the ground...

"I know." Xiao Ling quickly said, "No matter the strength, speed, or ability... this guy has already caught up with the big boss in the general script." As she said, she seemed to think of something and muttered, "And judging from her few lines and performance... her personality is also quite bad."

"Well... Anyway, we have to be more careful next time." At this time, Xiao Tan had unconsciously returned to his usual gentle and polite state, and his domineering and cool temperament disappeared.

"Hmph... You've saved me a little bit, but you're so arrogant now~" Xiao Ling made a face at Xiao Tan, stuck out her tongue, and then continued, "Then you go ahead this time."

Xiao Tan swallowed his saliva, showing a fearful expression on his face without disguising: "Uh... But... I'm afraid of ghosts..."

"Hehe." Xiao Ling laughed dryly twice, "Then who do you want to lead the way?"

This was not a problem, but Xiao Tan really thought about it, and he really came up with an idea: "Hey~ Got it!" After that, he took out the [Dog Whistle] from his bag with shining eyes and held it in his mouth... (To be continued..)
