Chapter 345 Unexplainable things
"Poof..."
Following another hit, Hong Xiu finally let her body locked on her body loosen completely, and hurriedly pushed it away.
The body fell aside like a kite with a broken string.
As soon as he landed, his limbs squirmed and wanted to get up again, but at this moment, the body of the body was covered with scars, and most of the body was necrotic, so he could only struggle in place and could not get up again.
Hongxiu took the opportunity to get up in a hurry, and took advantage of the disappearance of the surrounding space blockade, hurriedly picked up the chain and directly launched Apparation.
At this moment, Lin Xue has almost rushed to the front of the Bone Throne, and she is hundreds of meters away from her. It is impossible to catch up with her normally, but Hongxiu has the ability to teleport, which is her greatest advantage.
Following a burst of space fluctuations, Hongxiu appeared tens of meters away, and then without stopping, he hurriedly used teleportation again.
However, teleportation, a space spell, cannot be cast continuously without intervals. If it is cast forcibly, it will cause a huge burden on the body.
After teleporting for the second time, Hongxiu spit out a mouthful of blood, feeling extremely dizzy.
However, between the speed of life and death, she had no chance to rest at all. The moment she landed, she hurriedly threw the chain towards Lin Xue in front of her.
"Ding!"
Lin Xue had long been prepared for this. The moment the chain flew towards him, he swung the sickle in his hand accurately and knocked the sharp edge of the chain to the side.
At the same time, taking advantage of the power of the chain, he leaped forward again.
Seeing that the other party was about to step up the stone steps where the inheritance was located, Hong Xiu gritted his teeth and could only teleport again. At the same time, before the teleportation, he had already thrown the chain in his hand.
The burden of teleporting three times in a row is unimaginable. When Hongxiu reappeared, his mouth, nose and ears were bleeding outwards, and he was so distracted that he almost fell into a coma on the spot.
However, relying on her will to survive at the moment of life and death, she forcibly carried it over without fainting.
At this time, her position was already at the bottom of the stone steps, only one step away from the throne.
At the same time as she appeared, the chain that was thrown out earlier also moved over, silently appearing behind Lin Xue's head, and attacked Lin Xue from an extremely tricky angle.
At this time, Lin Xue had already stepped on the stone steps, stretched out her hand towards the energy ball, and was about to touch it, but she didn't expect that the other party would suddenly attack in this way, and she couldn't dodge, and was directly hit by the chain The helmet, like a spirit snake, got in through the gap between the eyes of the helmet.
The next second, the chain was retracted, and Lin Xue finally stepped on the steps and was pulled back.
Brought out together, there is also a piece of Youlan's soul body. The eyes of the soul body were hooked by the tip of the chain, and slowly pulled out.
The soul hook, as long as it hits the flesh of a creature, it can hook the soul of the creature and devour it, causing permanent necrosis of the organ at the hit location.
At this moment, although the chain led out Lin Xue's soul, the soul body was stuck just a short distance away from the body and could not be pulled further.
Because this is the weapon of the **** of death after all, and both of them are heirs of the blood of the **** of death, just like Lin Xue's sickle can't leave the mark of the **** of death on Hongxiu's body, Hongxiu's chains can't really swallow Lin Xue's soul.
So at this moment, between Lin Xue's soul body and the chain, it was like a tug of war.
And this effect is exactly what Hongxiu wants to achieve.
Her strength is much higher than that of Lin Xue. At this time, she restrained the opponent, and immediately pulled her to this side with all her strength.
However, just when Hongxiu thought that he could forcibly drag the other party back in this way, Lin Xue suddenly raised his sickle, and resolutely slashed down towards the position where the chain hooked the soul.
The next moment, the blade slashed across, and the soul and the chain were split into two.
A small part of the souls were pulled and devoured by the chains, and then returned to Hongxiu, while the remaining souls immediately returned to Lin Xue's body.
"Crazy..."
The word popped up subconsciously in Hongxiu's mind.
Originally, Lin Xue's soul would not be taken away by the chains, but the soul that was forcibly severed by her would be swallowed and unable to return to the original body.
Lin Xue, who cut off her soul, seemed to have done a small thing casually, then turned around, and rushed towards the stone steps again without stopping.
Hong Xiu also reacted immediately, and hurriedly took out a Soul Requiem Stone and crushed it. At the same time, he waved his magic wand and released Apparation again.
Teleporting four times in a row, a normal person should be unconscious by now. Fortunately, the interval between the last time was relatively long, diluting some of the mental shock, coupled with the stabilizing effect of the soul stone, this made her persist.
The next moment, Hongxiu appeared on the stone steps.
The sphere containing the turbulent energy is already close at hand.
At this time, Lin Xue had just stepped on the stone steps, two steps behind her.
"It's me who is faster!"
Hongxiu was overjoyed, and subconsciously stretched out her hand forward.
But the moment her fingers touched the surface of the energy ball, her smile froze instantly.
Because at this time, she already knew in her mind that the **** of death was about to take away her things.
“The thing you cherish the most—is your looks!”
"Sacrifice your appearance, you will gain my power, and you will also become the ugliest person in the world!"
Hong Xiu was stunned. What she cherished most was not her child, but... her appearance?
At this time, the surging energy was already pouring into her body crazily along her arm.
But Hong Xiu was shaken, because she had already felt a pain and itching on her right cheek, as if countless tiny bugs were crawling, and the itching area continued to expand.
As soon as she thought of the word 'ugliest', her arms couldn't help shaking, and she even subconsciously wanted to pull them back.
And at this moment, Lin Xue rushed from the side, like a fish that had been dry for a long time, jumping into the sea, and plunged into the energy group without reservation.
Hong Xiu looked at Lin Xue who was still stained with tears, and couldn't help thinking of what he had just said to her not long ago: If you don't have this level of awareness, why are you fighting for the inheritance of the **** of death?
Why? Why can she be so decisive?
What is her most cherished thing...
The next moment, Hongxiu felt himself start to retreat.
The impact of Lin Xue when she charged into the energy group pushed her back.
Hongxiu lost his balance. As he fell backwards, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the river bed in the distance. At some point, the old man's body had stood up and was facing this side. The soles of the feet began to shatter into powder and disappear little by little...
"Are you kidding? It's actually this kind of thing..." Hongxiu felt that it was unreasonable. How could a dead body be compared with a woman's most important appearance.
In the ball of light, Lin Xue looked back with tears in her eyes, and seemed to see her grandma disappearing at the end, with a smile on her lips.
The next moment, she was completely surrounded by surging energy, and her consciousness fell into chaos...
…
When Lin Xue opened her eyes again, she found that she was in a garden.
Look around, familiar gardens, familiar flowers and plants.
This is the garden of grandma's house. She and Lin Hai often played here when they were young.
And she was also wearing children's clothes at this time, maintaining her eight-year-old appearance, lying on someone's lap, just waking up from sleep.
Turning her head and looking, sure enough, grandma was sitting on a rocking chair by the big tree, holding a book in one hand, and waving the other hand over her head, driving away all the mosquitoes, bees and butterflies that wanted to approach her.
"Grandma..." Lin Xue's immature voice looked at grandma in confusion, and she couldn't distinguish between reality and fantasy.
The old man looked over kindly, and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Have you had a nightmare again?"
"Hmm... had a terrible nightmare..."
Xiao Linxue also wiped the corners of her eyes with her small hands, looking terrified: "I dreamed... Grandma passed away... Later I lost grandma's body..."
The old man was surprised when he heard this, and smiled: "That was really a nightmare... But, you will experience the death of grandma sooner or later."
"how come?"
Xiao Linxue immediately retorted: "Grandma will live a hundred years, and she will live longer than me!"
"Longevity, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it..." The old man smiled wryly, and looked at the girl softly: "Grandma's lifespan can be counted with the fingers."
Xiao Linxue looked at the old man suspiciously: "Can a person's lifespan be fixed?"
"Other people's can't do it, but grandma's can." The old man said.
"I don't understand."
Lin Xue shook her head blankly, a little uneasy: "Grandma, did you have some kind of disease? Then I will study medicine in the future. I am very smart. I will definitely learn the best medical skills, no matter how intractable the disease is, I will help you heal!"
The old man smiled and shook his head: "Grandma's disease cannot be cured by medical skills..."
"Why?" Xiao Linxue became even more flustered, her eyes filled with water mist: "Then how can I help grandma?"
The old man shook his head, and wanted to tell her the truth, but seeing the tearful girl in front of him, he finally softened his heart.
"If one day, you encounter something that you can't explain anyway, maybe you have a chance to cure grandma's illness..."
"Anyway, something that can't be explained..." Xiao Linxue murmured, and after a while, she suddenly smiled.
"Okay, then I'll go find it!"
The girl smiled and took the old man's hand, and interlocked her little fingers: "I will search desperately until I find something that I can't explain, grandma, let's pull the hook, you must wait for me to that day..."
Xiao Linxue took the old man's hand and shook it.
The old man looked at the girl with tears in her smile, and shook his head helplessly: "No need, Xiaoxue..."
"Huh?" Xiao Linxue was taken aback.
"Have you forgotten, Xiaoxue? You have found something that you can't explain..."
The old man's voice stunned Lin Xue, and a lot of memories flooded into her mind.
She finally remembered that it was from this day that she had been looking for it. From school, to work, to studying abroad, in all the busy life from childhood to adulthood, she never forgot about this matter, and she even got involved with her. Little sea.
Looking for unexplainable things has become a very important thing in the lives of the two siblings.
Lin Hai chose to become an anchor when he grew up, and used the most direct way to investigate strange events all over the country.
Lin Xue was a little more tactful, because she found that those so-called strange people and strange things were all fake tricks.
So she chose to decipher all the strange things recorded in the book, so that if one day, she can encounter a problem that she absolutely cannot explain, she can fulfill her promise to grandma.
And this topic, she did encounter, on the day of her 24th birthday, in a dilapidated timber factory.
Following the clues, she finally found a pet shop, where she lived and worked. During this period, she discovered more and more things that she could not explain.
However, as she learned more, she gradually understood the meaning of what grandma said back then. The loss of lifespan is an unchangeable rule, and you will die when you run out. There may be opportunities to supplement, but it was not something she was able to get at that time.
Afterwards, grandma's funeral...
To this day, in the tomb of the **** of death, she witnessed grandma's body dissipating like smoke...
When Lin Xue remembered everything, her figure had returned to normal.
"Grandma..." Lin Xue choked up and looked at the old man beside her. She knew that this was grandma saying goodbye to her for the last time.
"Xiaoxue, you are a nostalgic child, but, you understand, it's time to let go..." the old man looked at her kindly and said.
"But, I haven't done anything for you..." Lin Xue looked at the old man with reluctance and guilt.
She has been busy studying medicine, busy looking for answers, busy doing many things, but neglected the most important company.
Looking back, she realized that the thing that the son wanted to support but refused to be loved had really happened to her.
"Silly boy, you've done enough."
The old man looked at her helplessly: "Now, it's time to get out of the past and live for yourself..."
Lin Xue opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but suddenly heard movement in the distance, and turned her head to look.
In the blank area in the distance, Mu You, Xiaoya, Vivian, and those familiar animals appeared one after another, waving at her, as if calling her to go.
"Did you have a good time there?" Grandma's voice sounded with a smile.
"Um…"
"That's good, I can leave with peace of mind."
The old man let out a long sigh of relief, and looked at her with a smile: "Go, they are all waiting for you."
In the soft voice, Lin Xue gradually lost consciousness.
She let go of the old man's hand and subconsciously walked forward.
She didn't wake up until she was approaching everyone, and hurriedly looked back.
However, there was already a blank space behind him, and there was no grandma anymore.
Lin Xue closed her eyes, a tear dripped from the corner of her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she returned to the dark death cemetery.
A mass of energy visible to the naked eye surged around her body, and this energy extended upwards, forming a prototype of a giant skeleton more than ten meters high, wrapping her tightly, but the giant skeleton lacked only the left arm.
As she raised the sickle in her right hand, an illusory death sickle appeared in the right hand of the giant skeleton outside her body, and immediately followed her to make the same movement.
"Ah ah ah..."
While Lin Xue was still understanding what the inheritance of the **** of death was, Hongxiu's screams suddenly resounded.
At this moment, Hongxiu fell to the ground under the stone steps in front, her left hand covering her cheek, and her right arm was covered with a layer of energy cluster several meters long, finally forming the shape of a giant arm.
At the same time, the right half of her face and the lower jaw of the left face were all covered by dense scars. The density and distortion of the scars had reached the point where it would cause psychological shadows just by looking at them.
Seeing the appearance of Hongxiu, Lin Xue suddenly felt that her vision became blurred, her consciousness seemed to be manipulated by some kind of tyranny, and her eyes were only blood red.
She involuntarily raised her right hand and threw it forward.
Following her movement, the giant body covering the periphery immediately followed suit.
The huge and thick giant arm swung the sickle and smashed it heavily at the red sleeve on the ground.
Hongxiu looked at this scene in horror, his body was trembling, but he subconsciously raised his right arm to resist.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the entire cave shook violently several times, and was directly covered by the loud noise and smoke generated by the impact.
