The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 685: The Journey to the Mountain of Osorrow (38)

King Kong looked at the zombie on the bridge, swallowed subconsciously, and a layer of white sweat broke out on his body.

Ling Na was dumbfounded and murmured, "Could it be that it had been disguised like that all along? Was it playing tricks on us?"

Including Qian Xiaoyi, everyone present stared at the zombie as if it were a formidable enemy, ready to deal with its attack, but the zombie still stood on the bridge and had no intention of launching an attack.

The zombie stood on the bridge. It slowly stretched out its hand and reached forward, but halfway there, it seemed as if it had touched an invisible barrier and could not move forward any further. It slowly turned around and said with a tone that sounded both mocking and sad: "What a pity! It seems that there is no need for someone like me over there. Your efforts have completely failed~"

Qian Xiaoyi clenched his fists and said, "Is salvation useless? We were going in the wrong direction from the beginning! Execute Plan C!"

He suddenly shouted loudly, and the others took action immediately after hearing it.

The zombies stood on the bridge, waiting for their attack, but what they didn't expect was that those guys turned around and ran away, and they ran very fast, using almost all their strength to escape, and they ran away in a few seconds.

"You're actually running away..." The zombie's face darkened. "It seems I overestimated you..."

A large amount of black mist came out of its body, and it flew into the sky, chasing in the direction where the crowd was fleeing.

"What do you mean by escape? This is called a strategic retreat!" Qian Xiaoyi shouted.

Although it looks very embarrassing, this is one of the strategies they decided at the beginning. If you can't win, just run away. It's not shameful. In the business of exorcists, if you meet a powerful guy and you can't beat him, it is normal to take a detour or go back to regroup. Those who insist on rushing in and doing it recklessly will not be able to do it for long.

King Kong ran after the others at a brisk pace, still carrying Terao Yu on his shoulders, and asked, "What on earth is inside the zombie's shell? Why doesn't salvation work?"

"Because it doesn't belong to that side!" Terao Yu focused on the black lines wriggling in his hands, and said with two minds at the same time: "General salvation is to purify the obsessions in the hearts of the dead, so that they can let go of their obsessions and voluntarily reach the other side... But, what if it doesn't belong to the other side? How do you save a being that is not a dead soul? The proportion of that thing on this side of the human world has exceeded that of the other side."

Ling Na said angrily: "Is everything we did before in vain? Why didn't you, the mountain god, remind us!"

The mountain god on her face sneered, "I said at the beginning that it was a monster that took my power, but I didn't say it was a ghost from hell. In fact, I don't know what it is. How can I remind you?"

"What else?" Qian Xiaoyi looked at Terao Yu: "What else did you analyze?"

Terao Yu's eyes were dark, and the messy lines in his hands kept changing. He said, "Although it is not clear what it is now, its composition is very complicated. People's wishes, obsessions, resentments... too many, too many. It is not a simple evil spirit, so the general methods of dealing with evil spirits are basically useless... No, it should be said that it is not even that kind of evil existence."

"It's not an evil existence?" Ling Na said anxiously: "You saw it too! That thing with black air all over its body is not evil? It wants to kill us!"

Terao Yu said: "Black is not necessarily evil. If I have to use a metaphor, it's like a box of paint. Each paint looks bright and has its own characteristics, but if you mix them all together, it will become black. This is the case with the zombie now. I said, it is not a pure evil spirit."

King Kong said: "It's a zombie. Do we have to find its body and burn it? I'm afraid we won't survive tonight."

Qian Xiaoyi said thoughtfully: "In fact... the thing inside this zombie's body may be more terrifying than the zombie itself. Even if we burn the zombie, we may not be able to completely get rid of it."

“Ahhhh!” Suzuna went crazy: “I shouldn’t have come! I regret it so much! Why do I have to face such a powerful enemy!?”

Qian Xiaoyi reminded: "Linna, keep in touch with the mountain god. The more you regret and fear, the faster you will die."

"Wu..." Suzuna wanted to cry. Kongo asked, "After all this talk, is there any way to deal with it?"

Terao Yu was fiddling with something with his hands and said, "I'm trying to create a soul curse for it! It will take some time."

Qian Xiaoyi looked back and said, "We may not have much time left, but the good news is that we have arrived."

A terrifying aura suddenly appeared from behind them, and a sharp claw stretched out from the black mist and stabbed towards Terao Yu.

"Be careful!" Suzuna turned around and waved the coin bundle. Translucent tentacles like vines emerged from the ground, blocking the black fog and slightly hindering its movement.

Vajra took the opportunity to throw Terao Yu to the ground, took out the vajra, turned around and hit the hand. The hand that emerged from the black fog scraped several marks on the vajra, and made a sharp sound like an iron ruler scraping a blackboard.

"Ah!" Suzuna covered her ears in pain.

Qian Xiaoyi also took action. Although the copper coin sword was gone, he still had other means. He stepped on the Gangbu and instantly came to a pile of stones not far away. He kicked the stones on the top of the pile away. The pile of stones was hollow, and the space was divided by several ink lines. At the bottom was a paper man.

He flipped his palm and took out a coin like a magic trick. With a flick of his thumb, the coin drew an arc in the air, accurately passed through the ink lines, and fell on the paper man, pressing the paper man to the ground.

"The heaven and the earth are boundless, the universe borrows the law!" Qian Xiaoyi said while pinching the magic formula.

As the surrounding space trembled, crisscrossing black lines appeared around the black fog, and the zombie in it fell down directly, revealing its shape. It fell heavily to the ground as if it was pressed down by an invisible mountain.

"Formation..." the zombie muttered, trying to get up from the ground. In fact, it did crawl up. At the same time, the paper man on the ground in front of Qian Xiaoyi suddenly bounced up, almost knocking the copper coins on his body away.

"Lin!" Fortunately, Qian Xiaoyi was quick-handed. He pinched the copper coin with a magic formula and pressed it up again.

However, judging from Qian Xiaoyi's trembling arms, he didn't seem to be holding down a paper man, but rather a spring with huge elasticity, which would bounce away if he relaxed a little, so he could only maintain this strenuous posture.

"Take advantage of now!" King Kong shouted. He and Suzuna showed no mercy and attacked the zombies with all their strength.

But the effect was very poor, their attacks could not cause any effective damage.

"How long can you suppress me?" The zombie ignored everyone else, turned around and looked at Qian Xiaoyi dimly.

Qian Xiaoyi gritted his teeth and thought: "What a tricky guy... Whether it's the zombie body or the half mountain god inside, it's hard to deal with, not to mention they are mixed together. Terao Yu's curse alone may not be enough. We need to attack them at the same time. We have to find a way to separate them!"

Thinking about it, he took a step forward: "Wenqu."

At the entrance of the Osoreyama Scenic Area, a group of tourists were yawning, not knowing how long this "refuge" would last, and some people had already started complaining.

Inuyama Heita, who had been keeping a close eye on the head of his own supernatural club, heard Ken's voice in his ears.

"Inuyama, I think I heard some movement from Brother Otoko." Ken said, "He needs help."
