Chapter 275 Puppet Doll
Huan Yin suddenly hugged Ruan Shushu tighter, and then he called back the blue flame without looking back, lighting up the road ahead, and instantly launched his full speed in the state of the wind spirit talisman, and rushed away.
Ruan Shushu did not speak, she was just very obediently held by Huan Yin, even if Huan Yin showed something strange just now, she did not ask.
However, Ruan Shushu could see Huan Yin's face clearly. On his heroic face, there was endless solemnity at this moment, and there were big beads of sweat rising from his forehead, sliding down from time to time. Ruan Shushu knew that those on Huan Yin's forehead were cold sweat, so he must have seen something horrible, and it might even be more horrible than the previous sea of insects. Because Huan Yin had never had such a violent reaction when he was surrounded by the sea of alien insects before.
Yes, Huan Yin did see something extremely horrible when the blue flame suddenly lit up just now. He thought it should be a face, a fragmented and bloody baby face.
The moment Huan Yin saw that face, he basically guessed that the puppet chasing him at the moment should be a puppet doll, an extremely hideous puppet doll. The soft gray-black thing he and Ruan Shushu touched on the ground before should be the lower body of the doll, so it felt like some kind of cloth.
Huan Yin couldn't imagine who created such a huge puppet doll, or could this dark and weird world breed all kinds of terrifying and strange things?
Huan Yin's mind was blank. He only had two thoughts now. One was not to let Ruan Shushu see the appearance of the puppet doll, because it was too terrifying, and he was afraid that Ruan Shushu would not be able to bear it. The other was to escape. No matter why the doll behind him suddenly moved and why it chased him, he didn't want to be caught up by that terrifying thing. He was sure that it would not have a good result.
With the wind spirit talisman on him, Huan Yin should have been able to quickly distance himself from the puppet doll behind him. However, the puppet doll seemed to be angered by Huan Yin's use of blue flame to illuminate its face. Although it did not emit any terrifying aura, its speed was much faster. It actually followed Huan Yin and the others tightly, making Huan Yin unable to get rid of it for a while.
"It's bad." Huan Yin secretly cried out in his heart. Although he could not use his spiritual sense now and had no idea about the intention of the puppet doll behind him, based on his combat experience, he was obviously locked by the puppet doll now. If he didn't think of a way, it would probably catch up with him.
Finally, after being chased for a distance, Huan Yin decided to give it a try. So he held Ruan Shushu with one hand, and then suddenly pressed his other hand to the back, and the Life-Destroying Palm was blasted out with all his strength, hitting the terrifying doll behind him.
A strange thing happened. After Huan Yin had used the Life-Destroying Palm for a long time, he did not feel anything at all. If he was not sober and knew that he had used the Life-Destroying Palm, he would have thought that he had remembered it wrongly and that he had not done anything just now.
Yes, the Life-Destroying Palm must have hit the puppet doll. After all, it had been a long time. Even if the Life-Destroying Palm did not fly out after it was born, the puppet doll should have hit the palm on its own initiative. However, Huan Yin did not feel anything at all. The Life-Destroying Palm seemed to disappear out of thin air shortly after it was used. He did not suffer the backlash of the broken spell, nor did he find that the speed of the puppet doll was reduced by half a point.
"What the hell is this place!" Huan Yin was depressed and had no choice but to strengthen his spiritual power and send several sword qi to the back. However, the result this time was still the same. Huan Yin could not receive any feedback at all. The sword qi he sent out disappeared inexplicably as before.
Just as Huan Yin was thinking about what to do, there were frequent "cluck" and "click" sounds behind him, as if the puppet doll had made new movements.
Huan Yin secretly cried out that it was not good. While flying forward quickly, he kept looking back to see if there was any abnormality. However, he was still some distance away from the puppet doll. What could he see with his eyes?
In this way, the noise behind Huan Yin lasted for a full twenty breaths, and Ruan Shushu in his arms began to get nervous, but Huan Yin did not feel any abnormality at all. This made Huan Yin, who had rich combat experience, feel even worse. He knew that something bad must be happening, but he could not feel it.
After twenty breaths, Huan Yin, who had been flying steadily in the air, suddenly tilted down for a moment, causing Ruan Shushu in his arms to exclaim.
Huan Yin also felt the tilt just now, but when he carefully examined himself, he didn't find anything unusual at all, as if he was just distracted.
However, for a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of Spiritual Wisdom, flying should be as easy as walking on flat ground. How could he be biased because of distraction? If such a thing were told to others, people would probably laugh their heads off.
Huan Yin didn't have time to think more, because the tilt just now slowed him down a lot, and the puppet behind him caught up a lot.
Huan Yin tightened his hands, held Ruan Shushu more firmly, and then ran at full speed again.
But not long after, Huan Yin in the air tilted again, and this time the tilt was quite serious, which made Huan Yin himself break out in a cold sweat.
"Brother Huan, are you okay?" Ruan Shushu looked at Huan Yin, her tone full of worry. She could hardly use her cultivation now, so she didn't know if Huan Yin had been hit by any magic or something.
Huan Yin forced himself to stabilize his body and shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I'll be more careful."
Huan Yin really felt that he was fine. He still didn't know what happened to the tilt just now. He clearly felt that his cultivation was still there, and there was nothing wrong with flying with his spirit.
But this time, Huan Yin still lowered his flying altitude. He felt a little uneasy in his heart. He was afraid that the abnormality would happen again, and he and Ruan Shushu would accidentally fall from the sky.
The "crackling" and "cracking" sounds continued, making Huan Yin, who almost fell twice, begin to feel a little upset. If the situation continues like this, Huan Yin will probably be caught up soon, not to mention escaping from the puppet dolls behind him.
Just as he was extremely anxious, Huan Yin's body tilted again in mid-air, and this time, he suddenly found that he could not straighten his body again.
What happened to Huan Yin? He still didn't know, but this time, he suddenly found that he had lost the ability to fly inexplicably, so he was going to fall!
"Brother Huan, be careful!" At the moment when Huan Yin's body tilted and fell to the ground, Ruan Shushu suddenly found that her body was sinking rapidly and exclaimed.
What happened at this moment was without any signs. If Huan Yin had not had two inexplicable imbalances before, he would probably be completely at a loss.
Huan Yin, who had lost his ability to fly, was quick-witted and remembered the long-distance jumps and glides he had made when he was still a Qi Condensation cultivator. So he used his skills back then. Even though he could not fly in the air and was forced to land, he finally landed safely with Ruan Shushu in his arms, without looking embarrassed.
"Brother Huan?" Ruan Shushu finally breathed a sigh of relief after being safely landed on the ground by Huan Yin, but now she was even more worried about Huan Yin's condition.
After landing on the ground, Huan Yin did not stop for a moment, but continued to run forward at his fastest speed.
"I lost the ability to fly." Huan Yin said to Ruan Shushu, but he really didn't know how to explain the current strange situation, so he only said this sentence.
"Is it because of the thing behind?" After hearing Huan Yin's words, Ruan Shushu quickly gave her own guess.
"Maybe." Huan Yin felt that Ruan Shushu might be right, but the key to the problem now was not why he lost the ability to fly, but that he could not stop this from happening, so his current speed was much slower than before, and he would soon be caught up by the strange puppet behind him!
"What to do, what to do!" This question kept repeating in Huan Yin's mind. He must now find a way to get rid of the puppet behind him. If he was run over by that terrifying thing, he would instantly become a pool of meat!
Huan Yin ran and jumped forward frantically, but this way of moving that only Qi Condensation cultivators would use was too difficult to help. As he kept looking back, the gray and black color behind him was becoming clearer and clearer.
Ruan Shushu did not say a word, but Huan Yin knew that she was also extremely nervous now, otherwise she would not hold her clothes so tightly.
"Light!" Suddenly, Ruan Shushu exclaimed softly. Huan Yin was looking back at the distance between himself and the puppet doll. When he heard her say this, he quickly turned his head and looked forward, and was immediately startled.
In the distance ahead of him, there was indeed a faint light, and it was actually the most ordinary firelight, which was the light that only appeared in places where people existed.
In this dark place where strange monsters were rampant, could there be other people? Could it be that this place was not a complete dead place, and that monks had come here a long time ago and even lived here?
Or, was there actually another more strange thing waiting for them ahead?
