Yu Ning had set up the illusion of the bronze mirror outside the tent, so logically speaking, it could trap not only Meng Xinyi and Bao Guangyuan, but also this monster.
But it had easily barged through the illusion.
Ji Mingxia would have been in danger if Yu Ning hadn’t been prepared.
The creature looked clumsy, but Yu Ning did not dare to take it lightly.
He had two mysterious items in his hands and although the bronze mirror was ineffective against the monster, the blood red ring could work.
The blood-red ring on Yu Ning’s pale finger leapt up into the air like a fire snake.
With a flash of red light, the blood-red ring passed through the monster’s body like a sharp blade, burning a small, thin hole through.
However, the rotting flesh squirmed and quickly filled the small hole, and the monster continued on as if nothing had happened.
After penetrating the monster’s body, the red light circled back around, cutting into various parts of the monster’s body, trying to find the monster’s weaknesses.
However, no matter where the red light attacked, the monster was unaffected.
Even when the arms, legs and head were cut and they dropped off, the pieces of flesh that fell to the ground were like worms, quickly crawling back onto the monster’s body and filling it up in less than a second.
It could not be beaten, it could not be cut, there was no flaw, and no weakness.
The monster approached step by step. Ji Mingxia’s tent was right behind him, but Yu Ning refused to retreat even one step.
The red light kept flashing, but it could not stop the monster’s pace. The distance between the two sides decreased, and the monster stood in front of Yu Ning. Yu Ning, who had always been tall in the crowd, looked thin and weak.
As Yu Ning struggled with the monster, Bao Guangyuan and Meng Xinyi, who had survived, slowly stood up from the spot.
“What do we do?” Bao Guangyuan looked at Meng Xinyi.
Although Meng Xinyi was softer than him, her mind was quick and she had always reacted faster than him.
Meng Xin Yi looked at the monster and Yu Ning, her face constantly changing, but whatever thoughts she had, she could not implement them.
The illusion of the bronze mirror was still there, and Pao Guangyuan and Meng Xinyi simply could not walk out of this area.
After realising this, Meng Xinyi couldn’t help but curse, “They’re sending themselves to their deaths and dragging us along, it’s too selfish!”
Bao Guangyuan felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t care to retort and instead asked, “Why did this monster let us go and run to Ji Mingxia’s side?”
“Who knows?” Meng Xinyi said slowly, “These two people may not be innocent either, or may even be more ruthless than us.”
Bao Guangyuan heard the words and his eyes flickered for a moment.
As the two exchanged words, the battle situation over there changed once more.
The monster walked in front of Yu Ning, and as the writhing limbs were about to touch Yu Ning’s body, Yu Ning suddenly stretched out his hand and flicked it towards the void.
The red light that was wrapped around the monster instantly returned to Yu Ning’s side and stood between him and the monster.
The moment the monster stretched its hand towards Yu Ning, the red light shrank and eventually transformed into a blood-red ring, and hovered right in front of the monster’s head.
The triangular crest on top of the monster’s head emanated a golden glow, overlapping with the red light of the blood-red ring, reflecting each other.
The moment the golden light intersected with the red light, the monster’s body lurched and all its movements stopped.
All that could move was the monster’s six scarlet eyes, which turned together and stared at the blood-red ring with desire.
Just then, the golden triangular crest lit up for a moment.
The monster’s body trembled violently, and in the next instant, a strange scene occurred.
The monster’s body once again squirmed, yet unlike the previous forward and backward movement, the monster’s body squirmed from side to side this time.
Its huge body seemed to be ruled by two wills.
One part of the body was facing forward, wanting to grab the blood-red ring; while the other part of its body wanted to continue walking in the direction of the tent.
Not only did the body squirm in both directions, but even the three terrifying faces on the monster’s head were twisted up.
With the constant pulling of these two wills, the sound of mucus being stirred up came from inside the monster’s body.
The rotting flesh that was stuck together gradually differentiated, as if it intended to become two.
During this process, every piece of rotting flesh in the monster’s body seemed to have a will, squirming madly.
It was like a mountain of flesh made up of countless worms.
The monster’s body twitched involuntarily. It was a monster without consciousness, but anyone could see its agonizing struggle at this moment.
As the layers of rotting flesh peeled away, a human body gradually emerged from the very centre of the monster’s body.
Bao Guangyuan and Meng Xinyi, who had nowhere to escape, had a look of horror once they saw the figure.
“It’s… its…her!” Meng Xinyi murmured as her body trembled.
Bao Guangyuan’s face also turned white as he glanced at the person before hastily averting his eyes.
Yu Ning was standing in front of the monster and he naturally saw the human body’s appearance at a glance.
Although he had never seen her in person, he and Ji Mingxia had already seen a picture of her when they had left the school and set off for the Quanzhuang Hotel.
Li Yuozi stood in the very centre of the monster’s body. Her complexion was pale, her body was stained with black and red corpse spot, and her long hair was stuck to her face and body. Although her body was small, she looked a little more gruesome than the previous monster-like ghost.
The rotting flesh on her side surged in two directions and it looked like it was about to peel away from her body.
At that very moment, Li Youzi, who had originally kept her eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened her eyes.
Her eyes were extremely large, both of them were eerily white in colour, and the inside of her slightly open mouth was pitch black.
Just when she was about to let out a harsh scream, the golden triangular crest suddenly shrank and fell on top of Li Youzi’s head.
The triangular crest then disappeared, and it disappeared with the monster’s rotting flesh and Li Youzi.
Without the monster and the golden triangular crest, only the blood-red ring remained suspended in the air, emitting an eerie red light.
Before Bao Guangyuan and Meng Xinyi could turn their attention to the ring, Yu Ning raised his eyes and the blood-red ring and the bronze mirror returned to his body.
Bao Guangyuan and Meng Xinyi looked around in disbelief, unable to believe that the monster had just disappeared out of thin air.
“What’s going on …… where is that thing ……,” Meng Xinyi muttered, “Why did it just disappear, is it dead? “
Bao Guangyuan said with difficulty, “Did Yu Ning kill it?”
The two unconsciously cast their eyes on Yu Ning.
However, Yu Ning maintained a cold expression on his face from the beginning to the end.
Even when the monster had walked up to him, his face had not changed one bit. Now that the monster was gone, it was even more impossible to get the answer they wanted from Yu Ning’s face.
Just as Bao Guangyuan and Meng Xinyi were distracted, a small sound came from the direction of the tent.
There was a “click” and the tent suddenly moved.
Immediately afterwards, Ji Mingxia, who had finished applying the medicine, opened the tent and came out.
He saw Yu Ning standing in front of the tent, with Pao Guangyuan and Meng Xinyi supporting each other from not far away, and he keenly observed that there was an odd atmosphere in the air.
He had remained in the tent for less than half an hour, and since there was no movement from outside, he went ahead to take off his clothes to check his wounds and he did not come out until his mobile phone rang.
But looking at Meng Xinyi and Bao Guangyuan’s expressions at this moment…could something have happened during those few minutes?
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ji Mingxia shook the phone in his hand. The alarm pattern on the screen was vibrating frantically, and Ji Mingxia said, “It’s almost dusk, shouldn’t we get ready?”
Bao Guangyuan was stunned for a moment. He looked at Ji Mingxia’s phone and then at Ji Mingxia’s face, and he couldn’t help but let out a long breath.
Meng Xinyi’s face almost twisted on hearing Ji Mingxia’s words, but she quickly lowered her head and hid her expression.
Bao Guangyuan and Meng Xinyi’s expressions were so incoherent that Ji Mingxia became even more puzzled. Seeing Yu Ning walking towards him, Ji Mingxia immediately cast him a questioning glance.
However, Yu Ning only asked, “Have you finished applying the medicine?”
Ji Mingxia suddenly looked away from Yu Ning. He was still stuck in a situation where he had just realised that he liked Yu Ning.
Ji Mingxia whispered, “It’s applied.”
Yu Ning looked Ji Mingxia up and down. His gaze lingered on the ointment for a second and said, “You used 1/3 of the ointment last time, and yet the amount hasn’t changed at all this time.”
Ji Mingxia froze for a moment before he realised that the ointment was still in his hands.
He couldn’t help but lift the ointment to his face and take a look. The outer packaging of the ointment was glass and how much had been used was visible to the naked eye.
He hadn’t even realised how much he used each time, yet Yu Ning had seen it at a glance!
He just went into the tent to avoid Yu Ning, and since he said he had come in to apply the medicine, Ji Mingxia simply took off his clothes to check his wounds.
As a result, he found that the injuries to his body had recovered unevenly.
His injuries started from his waist and spread all the way to his thigh. Due to the different structure of the human body, the skin’s ability to recover in each area was also different.
As far as Ji Mingxia could see, his waist and legs were recovering well, but his hip was somewhat inflamed because his trousers would rub against the place.
He only wiped off the pus and dried naked for a while before dressing up and coming out.
He did not expect that Yu Ning had paid attention to such a small detail, and he was suddenly embarrassed.
“I didn’t mean to hide from you, I was just letting my wounds dry while inside ……,” Ji Mingxia mumbled.
Yu Ning instantly asked, “The injuries got worse?”
“That’s not…it either,” Ji Mingxia whispered.
“Let me take a look.” Yu Ning said.
I like where this is going.
