Chapter 96: The decisive battle (2)

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been practicing for so many years, or because Gao Ning’s excitement potion is working, but when I use the Lower-Dao technique again, it’s incredibly smooth.

When the familiar coldness spread throughout my body and a strange spiritual power filled my mind, the familiar feeling of destruction and violence also came.

This time, the spirit I summoned was much more powerful than the first time, and I could feel it. However, due to the maturity of my mind, I was able to suppress the feeling of destruction and violence much better than the first time.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that Huigen was in a terrible state, Xue was struggling, and even Gao Ning was panting. These bug people were originally invincible, not to mention that their muscles and bones had been transformed into great resilience.

Then I thought, “Let’s use thunder!” Without thinking, I started to practice the thunder formula. But the thunder formula requires the practice of Xingbu Gang, and how can I practice Xingbu Gang in this small space? Do I have to rush into the crowd of bug people to practice Xingbu Gang?

Moreover, in such a confined space, Xingbu is not as effective as it would be in the open. If it is not absolutely necessary, Xingbu practitioners would generally choose to practice Xingbu in the open.

If the power of attraction is not good, how can I attract thunder?

In addition, I thought of a very serious problem. This is a closed place. Even if the thunder is concentrated in this area, how can it reach this secret room?

Thinking about this, I broke into a cold sweat and shouted to Gao Ning, “The method of attracting thunder is not feasible. If you can’t walk the path of the five elements, thunder can’t get in either.”

Gao Ning, however, remained calm and asked me a question that was not related to the matter at hand: “Are you ready?”

Does he have a way? I thought about it and subconsciously replied, “I’m ready.”

“Wait a minute, then just lead the thunder, step on the gong, I have a way.” In the meantime, Gao Ning turned back and said to Ling Ruxue and Huigen: “Cover me for a while.”

Since we were already in this situation, and we were temporary comrades-in-arms, I had no reason not to trust him. I immediately joined Ruoxue and Huigen in the team against the bug man, since Gao Ning asked for cover.

At this time, Gao Ning took out a bone staff from his large backpack, then closed his eyes, his expression was holy with a hint of indescribable strangeness. After closing his eyes and remaining silent for a few seconds, he suddenly opened his eyes and began to dance.

While dealing with the annoying bug people, I also took a moment to glance at Gao Ning and found that this kind of hand-waving and foot-stomping was not what people or I had thought it was before, that it was a kind of convulsive madness, but rather implied a kind of rhythm that I could not understand either.

Then Gao Ning began to chant. Unlike Taoist incantations, Taoist incantations are generally low-key and restrained. Even if the incantations need to be shouted out loud, they are extremely fast and serious. Unlike Gao Ning’s chanting, his expression, body language and tone have reached an exaggerated point, making people feel that this person has already been fully immersed in a world that you can’t explain.

Gao Ning was practicing his magic with all his might, but Ling Ruxue calmly said to me, “So he knows witchcraft and is very proficient at it.”

I had no doubt that Gao Ning practiced witchcraft, but I didn’t know how to judge whether he was proficient or not, so when Ruoxue said he was proficient in witchcraft, it shocked me. No wonder he came here wearing the costume of a great witch.

No wonder he explained to us that the bone chains and rings on his body and the totem on his face all contain the power of the soul. It turns out that this outfit can assist in performing magic.

The attacks of the bug people became more and more intense. They were almost knocked down every time, and they would come up again and again, screaming. And as time passed, I noticed that their bodies became more and more flexible, as if they were getting more and more used to using a certain item.

This result is that our defense is becoming more and more difficult.

At this moment, Gao Ning finally stopped his dancing and looked at the top of the chamber from a strange angle, then suddenly shouted, “Appear, come, come… appear… come, come…”

What is it? I was still in a state of confusion, wondering what Gao Ning was calling out. But the answer came the next second. Where Gao Ning’s staff pointed, a tremor suddenly appeared, and the ceiling of the chamber shook violently, as if the entire chamber were in an earthquake.

What the hell is that? The tremors were so strange that the bug people were swaying back and forth. They weren’t supposed to be walking normally, they were supposed to be jumping. Under the tremors, they couldn’t jump, and it was unexpected that these bug people didn’t have any balance ability. Once they couldn’t jump, they couldn’t even stand properly?

Above the chamber is the top of the earth, because this is a chamber dug into the mountainside.

I don’t know how deep this top is from the ground, but I can feel the earth ‘rustling’ and falling under the vibration. I’m thinking, could it be that Gao Ning is using this vibration to restrain the bug people? If so, I can’t step on the “Gong” either, because the “Gong” requires precision in every step, even the distance between each step.

How can I dare to step on the steps under such vibrations? Moreover, the steps are so precise that even the slightest mistake can lead to a huge difference, and they are the most likely to cause a person to go astray.

“Gao Ning, I can’t step on the gong like this, and I’m losing control.” Gao Ning asked him to wait for a minute, but it took him almost two minutes to cast the spell.

For me, who had used the technique of “lowering the spirit” and had suppressed the power in my body by summoning a ghost, these two minutes were extremely painful. Not to mention the technique of “lowering the spirit,” the power of summoning a ghost or god has a time limit, and just suppressing this power is also a significant drain.

If it weren’t for the effect of the stimulant, I, who was previously weak, would not have been able to suppress this power for two minutes.

This is a very dangerous thing. You cannot undo the spell on your own. Inviting ghosts and gods is extremely easy to backfire. The consequences of backfire, even the mildest one, are that you will be delirious and not know what you are doing before the power is used up.

I don’t want to find out that I’ve injured Xue, Huigen, and Gaoning when I open my eyes.

Gao Ning, in the face of my anxiety, just nervously raised his index finger, made a ‘shh’ gesture with his mouth, and then said with a dazed expression, “It’s coming.”

Who the hell is coming? I couldn’t stand Gao Ning’s behavior. I almost went crazy. I knew that the negative emotions in the power would affect me, too. At least I would be several times more irritable than usual.

At this moment, Ru Xue held me back, saying, “You must be patient. When performing witchcraft, emotions are greatly affected, especially when summoning spirits. The mind and spirit will be connected to the spirit being summoned, and will have a hint of the characteristics of the spirit being summoned.”

Ruoxue knew more about witchcraft than I did, and her words made me feel a little less anxious. At the same time, I looked at the top of the shaking building and felt a little curious, plus a bit of anger.

I want to see what the spirit is like, and its power is so great that I can’t help but picture a scene in my mind. A huge, fat pig is holding a hammer and hammering on the top of the chamber. I want to see if Gao Ning has invited a fat pig.

At the same time, I couldn’t help but curse. I really wanted to see what kind of fat pig was so nervous that it had turned Gao Ning into a strange psychopath.

The more soil fell from the ceiling, the more violent the shaking became. The three of us could hardly stand up. I admired the mother and the old monster on the platform. They were so calm under such violent shaking…

What a fucking machine! It seems that you won’t move unless you are within three meters of it. But it’s fine. Please continue to be peaceful. I really don’t want you to suddenly wake up and mess things up in this chaotic situation. It’s best to be peaceful for the rest of your fucking life.

I was also speechless. While complaining about Gao Ning’s nervousness, my own psychological activities were also nervous. Damn it, it’s hard to get hurt by shamans and sorcerers who invite gods and spirits.

After a while, a lot of soil had fallen, and I, Hui Gen, had undoubtedly become a mud man. Gao Ning, who was full of excitement and longing, was not much better. But at this time, I made a surprising discovery. I discovered that the entire secret room was actually under a tree.

Why do I say that? Because as the surface soil fell off, I saw the top of the secret room, and there were a large number of tree roots, winding and intertwining on the top of the secret room. I also discovered a problem. The color of the tree roots was also a strange purple.

What kind of tree is this? I couldn’t wait to climb up and take a look, but just then, with a loud bang, I saw several cracks appear on the top.

Then, there was a continuous series of loud booms. Finally, the poor cracked place collapsed, and large pieces of earth fell, even hitting the two peaceful monsters. Then I was shocked to see a head poke its way in.

Looking at this head, I really couldn’t help but curse, “Damn it!”
