Chapter 109: Mountain God? Mountain Demon, Jade Egg Ghost Fetus
,
As this chilling aura rushed towards him, a shadowy figure suddenly emerged like a genie from a lamp, appearing from the Bronze Box along with the black qi.
This figure was pitch black all over, with an icy cold face, extremely similar to the Mountain God in the mural. After bursting out from the box, it pounced fiercely towards Su Mo.
The extremely chilling aura caused the air around Su Mo to drop several degrees abruptly!
In an instant, its two black long claws had already reached in front of Su Mo.
Although Su Mo tightly gripped the Frost Moon Sword in his hand, he did not slash it down towards the shadowy figure.
Because, in an extremely short time, he had already seen that the opponent had form but no substance!
In other words, it was fundamentally just a phantasm, created by some dark power. Although the power of attacks was still effective, physical attacks from the Frost Moon Sword could not kill it at all!
Su Mo could certainly use his Space Skipping Stone ability to teleport and dodge the opponent’s attack instantly, but then Hu Ba Yi and the others behind him would be in trouble!
Therefore, Su Mo did not dodge, but instead suddenly used Tongue Blooming Thunder in his haste.
“Die!”
The Buddhist Lion’s Roar instantly released the power of the Kirin Sacred Blood and the Four-layered Futuo Technique.
The Buddhist Lion’s Roar that Su Mo used was always an open vowel single character.
Retreat, roll were both open vowels.
But it did not mean that the Buddhist Lion’s Roar could not use closed vowels.
For example, this time the word he uttered was “die”, which was a closed vowel.
However, the functions of open and closed vowels in the Buddhist Lion’s Roar were different. If dealing with those Gu People Female Corpses behind him, he could certainly use open vowels, instantly unleashing the Buddhist Lion’s Roar in full force, radiating the power to its maximum in an instant!
But at this moment, this dark phantasm was too close, and in his haste, Su Mo could not brew the Buddhist Lion’s Roar’s power to its maximum. The closed vowel could instantly radiate the attack power nearby and concentrate the attack force at a single point.
This roar, though far from as powerful in sound waves as when he had used the Buddhist Lion’s Roar before, caused space to vibrate in an instant with its generated power.
Between him and that dark phantasm, a wave of sound pattern formed in a flash and rapidly surged forward like an avalanche.
Boom!
That dark phantasm immediately disintegrated and shattered in the sound waves, turning into strands of black qi that scattered!
With one roar, Su Mo shattered the dark phantasm, then reached his hand into the Bronze Box.
The Bronze Box was full of black water, but he quickly found the target using the Great Yin Meditation Technique and lifted out a strange Leopard Skin Pouch from the box.
As Su Mo lifted the Leopard Skin Pouch, the surrounding Gu People Female Corpses suddenly let out a terrifying roar one after another, all stopping on the distant water surface, no longer attacking forward.
One by one, the pale-skinned girls with ghostly blue light and shadows on their bodies stood on the water surface like they were frozen, with reversed joints.
Pairs of pale eyes all looked towards the Leopard Skin Pouch in Su Mo’s hand.
Hu Ba Yi and the others could not help but be stunned.
They turned back to look at the Leopard Skin Pouch in Su Mo’s hand:
“Master, what is this?”
“Why have these dead drifters stopped moving?”
Su Mo sneered:
“This is the so-called Mountain God!”
“Ah…”
Xue Li Yang and the others could not help but be extremely surprised.
This Leopard Skin Pouch was quite large, with gold and silver threads embroidered on it, looking like patterns of talismans and incantations, and the opening tied with animal sinew.
Su Mo shook his left hand, and the Leopard Skin Pouch immediately opened, dropping out many dry bones from inside, appearing to be three skeletons. The bone shapes were very peculiar, with enormous skulls, arm bones longer than a normal person’s, and leg bones that looked extremely short.
Xue Li Yang looked closely and could not help but frown:
“This is… Mountain Demon Skeleton?”
Su Mo nodded:
“This is the Mountain God that Xian Wang sealed here. He hid the Mountain Demon Skeleton in the Bronze Box, sealed on top with Gu Technique talismans. Once the Gu Eggs on these Gu People mature, they automatically approach the Huo Clan Undying Worm containing the Mountain God’s box, then get devoured by the insects!”
Hu Ba Yi and the others suddenly realized.
No wonder these Gu People would voluntarily go to the Huo Clan Undying Worm and let it devour them.
It turned out that Xian Wang had sealed the box containing the Mountain God Skeleton inside the Huo Clan Undying Worm. This Gu Technique was extremely eerie. If not for Su Mo having already comprehended Gu God’s Guidance, it would have been impossible to understand the truth!
Zhang Qiling frowned and thought for a moment, then said:
“The phantasm that appeared earlier, and these Gu People suddenly going mad and attacking when we opened the box, was that also because of the Mountain God in this Leopard Skin Pouch?”
Su Mo nodded again:
“This thing alone as a dry bone has no such power. The key is what’s inside.”
As he spoke, he used the Frost Moon Sword to flip out a black stone statue of a small toad from the pile of dry bones, and took out an egg-shaped object from the box.
This thing looked about the size of an ostrich egg, with an outer shell like jade. Under the spotlight, it was crystal clear and lustrous, with intricate cloud patterns carved on the jade shell, looking like strange talismans.
Scraping off the surface wax, patterns appeared on the jade shell: dragons, tigers, beasts, birds, galloping through mountain ridges. Looking at the mountain ridge shape, it seemed to be Zhelong Mountain!
When Su Mo scraped open the jade shell, those Gu People Female Corpses stood quietly on the distant water surface, their pale eyes fixed on him, but none dared to move forward.
Hu Ba Yi and the others held assault rifles. Seeing the female corpses no longer attacking, they relaxed a lot.
Wang Pang Zi looked at the jade egg in Su Mo’s hand and could not help but swallow:
“Master, this thing looks like it’s very precious!”
Su Mo smiled faintly:
“To those who understand Gu Technique, it may be worth a fortune, but to ordinary people, it’s not a good thing at all!”
With that, he suddenly raised the Frost Moon Sword and directly split open the jade egg.
The jade shell on the surface of the jade egg shattered, revealing a lump of soft wood wrapped inside.
Su Mo used the sword tip to cut open the soft wood and took out a dark greenish Earthen Jar from inside.
This Earthen Jar had a straight mouth, high body, and round bulging abdomen. The jar mouth was completely sealed, and the jar body was also carved with many repetitive patterns, looking like talismans.
Su Mo used the sword tip to pry open the seal at the jar mouth, revealing exceptionally clear water inside the jar.
Xue Li Yang shone her helmet’s tactical spotlight into the jar but could not see clearly. She then aimed the Wolf Eye Flashlight into the jar and was shocked speechless:
“This… there’s a fetus in the jar!”
At that moment, those Gu People Female Corpses seemed to notice that Su Mo had opened the Earthen Jar and suddenly became restless, crawling in place one by one, yet still not daring to advance, circling around on the spot.
Some Gu People Female Corpses even let out hoarse, sharp low roars towards Su Mo and the others, as if threatening and warning, or as if bitterly pleading.
