Mysterious Resurrection: I am practicing magic in troubled times

Chapter 156
The situation seemed to be turning into a tug-of-war again, but Zhang Qian did not intend to waste any more time.

Two hands moved up and down, clasping Li Gui's upper and lower jaws respectively.

The wound on the arm opened slightly, revealing the squirming muscles inside.As the strength in his hand gradually increased, Li Gui's mouth gradually opened amidst a burst of skeletal groans.

With a clang, the wooden stick in Li Gui's mouth suddenly slipped and hit the floor.

"almost."

Zhang Qian's eyes lit up, and the two ghost hands lying on Li Gui's body immediately took action. With stiff movements, they slowly penetrated into the opened mouth.

First the fingers, then the palms, then the wrists...

Li Gui's mouth opened wider and wider, and his two ghost hands quickly climbed in smoothly.

Normally, this kind of thing wouldn't even be qualified to get close to a powerful ghost, but at this special time, the mutilated ghost didn't have much spare power to take care of it.

The two ghost hands moved wildly inside, causing Li Gui's mouth to almost explode.

But soon, the bulge suddenly disappeared.

But instead of becoming calm, Li Gui seemed to have been tortured, and let out a whimpering sound similar to sobbing.

If you listen carefully, you will see that the sound is not coming from this head at all.

The sound was very weak, and the thing making the sound seemed to be isolated by something. It could easily be ignored if you didn't listen carefully.

Looking for a voice, Zhang Qian's eyes finally stopped on the aisle.

Li Gui only poked his head in, and most of his body never came in, and that body seemed to be crying now.

"Is it another kind of supernatural power..." Zhang Qian murmured.

He did not delve into this change and continued to control the ghost hand before a possible attack.

Soon, a strange bulge suddenly appeared on Li Gui's neck.

It's like an Adam's apple, only four or five times larger than a normal Adam's apple.

Moreover, this bulge is still moving, as if it is going to use Li Gui's throat as a channel to reach the body not far away.

The other ghost's hand was not idle either, messing around in Li Gui's head, trying to cause as much damage as possible.

"pat..."

A lump of gray and sticky substance suddenly flowed out of Li Gui's ear hole.

Immediately afterwards, a pale ghost hand came out from behind and turned around, as if to confirm whether there was anything missing.

After a few more pushes, more contents were pushed out by ghost hands until it was empty.

However, this thing does not seem to be necessary for the mutilated ghost. Even though all the brains have been squeezed out, the strength of its struggle has not weakened at all.

Is there really nothing we can do about this thing?

Even if there is a continuous output of true energy, being able to suppress the ghost without controlling the remaining limbs on the ground is already the limit. It is simply impossible to completely suppress the body of the ghost.

If it weren't for the fact that this fierce ghost was related to the safety of subsequent explorations, Zhang Qian would have let it go.

After all, the confrontation with Li Gui was not a crushing one. He himself had suffered some injuries, and the situation would only get worse if it continued.

"That sobbing sound should be the key. There seems to be something in the belly of the mutilated ghost..."

Squinting his eyes, Zhang Qian discovered that the bulge on Li Gui's throat had already covered more than half the distance, and he could immediately enter Li Gui's belly to find out.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the temperature in the room dropped a little.

There was already a faint tingling sensation on my hands.

Looking down, his hands now looked like almost broken porcelain, covered with dense cracks.Moreover, Li Gui's blood was still entering Zhang Qian's body along these cracks, constantly consuming the true energy in his body, further increasing his burden.

"Maybe we really need to let this thing go."

Although he was unwilling to do so, Zhang Qian knew that now was not the time to act on impulse.

Now the mutilated limb ghost has not eroded him deeply, it just left a wound and there is still the possibility of recovery.

And this kind of erosion is getting worse every moment. After the arm is completely assimilated by the ghost, it will be completely hopeless.

By then, let alone confronting the evil ghost, even saving one's life would be a difficult problem.

"Wait for the ghost hand to go in and explore. If you still can't find any clues, let it go first and then make plans."

After making up his mind, he observed the reaction of the ghost and stared at the ghost hand that kept moving forward, planning to make one last attempt.

Suddenly, Li Gui's fleshless and blurred face had some strange changes.

The position of the eye sockets kept rising and falling back, as if something was trying to get out.

But Li Gui's face seemed to have been eroded by strong acid. His facial features had long since disappeared, and he couldn't open his eyes at all.

In addition, the ghost hand could not hurt Li Gui, so he had to keep trying, trying to find a gap that should exist.

"Pfft."

A half-finger-long hole suddenly opened in Li Gui's eye socket. A few pale fingers found the right place, opened Li Gui's glued eyelids, and got out from inside.

"This is?"

The fingers slowly opened, revealing a strange-shaped ball.

The entire ball is gray-white, with only a small black spot visible in the center.

Just when Zhang Qian was confused, the ball suddenly turned in the ghost's hand, and the position of the black spot also changed, facing Zhang Qian's eyes.

"Are these Li Gui's eyes?" Zhang Qian was a little surprised.

"My body was so rotten, I thought my eyes were rotten too. But it turned out that my eyelids were just blurry and I didn't open my eyes."

Now that you have eyes, it stands to reason that you can trigger the ability to make faces.

It's just that this eyeball is only a bare one, and there are no blood vessels behind it. I don't know if it is still part of the ghost.

The ghost hand over there has almost figured out the result. At this moment, it seems a bit uneconomical to invest the true energy into an attack that is not sure whether it will succeed.

Just when Zhang Qian was about to ignore it, the surrounding environment suddenly experienced some strange changes.

The brightness in the room seemed to be dimming.

But when I looked up, I saw that the light showed no sign of flickering, it seemed that the brightness was just getting lower.

"Can something go wrong in a room? I've only seen a room that went out on that foot..."

Zhang Qian was stunned for a moment, then realized, "No, it's more likely that something is wrong with me."

Even if the lights go out, with the blessing of true energy, he can easily see his surroundings in the dark.

But now his vision seemed to have been dimmed and was gradually turning towards darkness.

When he lowered his head and looked down, he saw that the pinpoint pupil on his eyeball had unknowingly expanded, and it didn't take long for it to expand to normal pupil size.

It won't take long for it to occupy the entire eyeball.
