Chapter 2177: Fallen Just Short of the Final Stretch
These monsters, which were even stronger than normal zombies, were somehow made to have no consciousness of their own and able to be controlled by the life-death bell. However, when facing the drought demon, they were instantly KO-ed.
Ning Shu’s eyelids twitched wildly. If something this strong got out, almost nothing could control it.
It might massacre a village.
Nothing in the world would be able to stand up against it.
Gu Rui’s body trembled slightly. The stone doors had opened to about the width of one person.
Gu Rui no longer cared about the monsters. The most important thing now was to get out alive.
Gu Rui clenched his jaw tightly, tears nearly welling up in his eyes. He’d fallen just short of the final stretch. The feeling of falling from heaven to hell was worse than death.
With the monsters buying time, Gu Rui could rush out of the stone doors.
As he rushed to the opening, Gu Rui pulled out his dagger and stabbed Ning Shu’s hand that was clutching his neck, then quickly also stabbed her leg.
Ning Shu was caught off guard by the pain and she instinctively moved her arm away.
With blood-soaked hands, Gu Rui pulled Ning Shu’s arms off himself and threw her back inside.
Ning Shu was thrown to the ground, but she ignored her wound and rushed toward the doors.
Gu Rui ran out the opening. He pressed his hand with Ning Shu’s blood on it to one of the stone lions. The doors closed with a ‘bang.’
Gu Rui slumped to the ground while holding his head in his hands. His body trembled slightly and he appeared to be crying.
Ning Shu: F*ck, f*ck…
She’d been so close.
Gu Rui, you bastard.
Ning Shu clung to the wall for support and watched the drought demon shred the remaining monsters like paper. She was so scared.
Ning Shu slowly moved her body. She wanted to hide, but her body was covered in blood.
The smell of blood was like a beacon in the middle of the night. Her position couldn’t have been more obvious to the drought demon.
If she escaped alive, she would kill that bastard Gu Rui.
Even at a time like this, Gu Rui still tried to make this her grave.
Almost all of the monsters had been taken out by the drought demon.
Seeing this scene, Ning Shu’s whole body shook.
What the hell did she do to deserve this?
After killing all the monsters, the drought demon turned toward Ning Shu and arrived in front of her in a flash.
Ning Shu quickly took out a talisman and stuck it on the drought demon’s forehead.
This was a very complicated spell she’d learned from Cheng Mingzi’s book.
The drought demon was immobilized and Ning Shu started sprinting for her life. Help!
In just one breath, the talisman on the drought demon’s head turned black and burned to ashes.
He quickly chased after Ning Shu.
Ning Shu looked back and saw the drought demon. Her heart burned with anxiety.
This was really closing the door to beat the dog and she’d become the dog with nowhere to hide.
Ning Shu stopped and searched her pouches. She took the poison, cinnabar, and rooster blood and tossed them all at the drought demon who was getting closer and closer.
If she’d known about this earlier, she would have brought some dog blood with her.
The cinnabar landed on the drought demon’s body and there was a hissing noise as black spots appeared on his cyan skin.
The drought demon looked down at his body.
Ning Shu threw a talisman and it flew towards the drought demon.
The talisman attached itself to the drought demon, who roared in discomfort, but the talisman soon turned black and turned to ashes.
Ning Shu was anxious. She’d taken out everything she had, but there was no real harm done.
What should she do?
Ning Shu didn’t dare try to hit or attack the drought demon directly. Even the monsters, who had extremely strong bodies, had easily been torn apart.
If she rushed up, she’d just be throwing herself into the net.
Ning Shu looked at the drought demon with a ferocious look. If this thing had been a ghost, she would’ve f*cking transcended it already.
