Chapter 81 Entering the Lair of Evil Spirits and Calling Suzuka to Help
Wu Hen took a deep breath, suppressed the surging blood in his body, and stepped into the eerie and terrifying area in front of him.
As soon as I stepped in, a bone-chilling chill instantly swept over my body, as if countless cold poisonous snakes were coiling around me. It was cold, damp, and rotten...
Various disgusting smells mixed together and rushed straight to the head.
"It's worthy of being the lair of evil spirits. The smell is incredible!" Wu Hen complained while suppressing the urge to vomit and carefully observing his surroundings.
There was dead silence all around, with only his own footsteps echoing in the empty passage, making it seem even more eerie and terrifying.
Suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking through the air came from behind him. Wu Hen didn't even think about it and rolled over to avoid it.
"Who?!"
"Intruder, die!"
A cold voice echoed in the empty nest, carrying undisguised murderous intent.
Wu Hen looked up and saw a beautiful woman in a red hunting robe and holding a long sword standing not far away, staring at him with cold eyes. It was none other than Suzuka Gozen.
"Oh my god, why are you here again?!" Wu Hen was suddenly overwhelmed. "Hey, big sister, did you come to the wrong set? This is the evil spirit's lair, not your backyard!"
"Stop talking nonsense and prepare to die!" Suzuka Gozen didn't listen to his explanation at all. He swung the long sword in his hand, and a sharp sword energy slashed towards Wu Hen's head.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop being unreasonable!" Wu Hen dodged in a panic and complained bitterly.
Suzuka Gozen's attacks were fast and fierce, and each strike carried a fierce murderous aura, as if to split Wu Hen in half.
Moreover, as the battle progressed, Wu Hen clearly felt that the evil forces around him were growing stronger and stronger, as if an invisible giant hand was suppressing his strength, making his movements slower and slower.
"Damn it, this can't go on!" Wu Hen said in his heart. While dodging Suzuka Gozen's attacks, he was racking his brains for a countermeasure.
"Suzuka, look carefully, who am I?!"
"Look carefully! I am Wu Hen! Take a closer look!" Wu Hen dodged in a panic and shouted at the top of his voice, trying to awaken Suzuka Gozen's sanity.
Suzuka Gozen's blade almost cut off a strand of Wu Hen's hair. She frowned slightly and seemed a little shaken, but was quickly pulled back by an invisible dark force, and her eyes became sharp again.
"Don't try to play tricks! Evil spirit, I want to avenge my people!" Suzuka Gozen roared, and swung the long sword in his hand again, and the attack was more ferocious than before.
"Damn, this evil spirit's brainwashing skills are too strong!" Wu Hen complained while asking the system in his mind, "System, is there any way to wake her up?"
System: "Host's needs have been detected. We are now providing the item 'Mirror of Truth', which can display the deceived person's memory fragments in the form of images. Price: 1000 points."
"Only 1000 points? Buy it! Hurry up!" Wu Hen said gritting his teeth. He now understood what it meant to be "a penny can make a hero fall."
As Wu Hen's mind moved, an ancient mirror appeared in his hand.
Without saying a word, he pointed the mirror directly at Suzuka Gozen.
Suddenly, pictures appeared on the mirror, which were the scenes of Suzuka Gozen being deceived by the evil spirit and her tribesmen being killed by the evil spirit.
Suzuka Gozen looked at these scenes, her eyes gradually became confused, and the movements of her hands gradually slowed down.
"Impossible... How could this happen..." Suzuka Gozen murmured to herself, she seemed unable to believe what she saw.
At this moment, the evil power around suddenly surged, turning into dark tentacles, rushing madly towards the mirror in Wu Hen's hand.
"Not good!" Wu Hen was shocked. He knew that these evil spirits wanted to stop him from waking up Suzuka Gozen.
While dodging the tentacles' attacks, he tried his best to keep the mirror in his hand.
"Suzuka, wake up! These are all conspiracies of evil spirits! They are the real murderers!" Wu Hen shouted loudly, trying to awaken Suzuka Gozen's sanity.
Suzuka Gozen looked at the images flashing before her eyes, struggling violently in her heart.
Her attacks became disorganized. The long knife in her hand pointed at Wu Hen for a while, then at the black tentacles. She seemed not to know who to trust.
Wu Hen seized the opportunity and smashed the mirror in his hand to the ground.
"Crack!"
The mirror shattered into countless pieces, scattered all around.
But those images did not disappear. Instead, they became clearer and more real, like a movie, constantly replaying in Suzuka Gozen's mind.
Suzuka Gozen's body was shaking violently, and her eyes were filled with pain and struggle.
"what!"
She let out a scream of pain and the long knife in her hand fell to the ground.
"Suzuka!"
Seeing this, Wu Hen immediately rushed forward and hugged the staggering Suzuka Gozen.
"Are you okay?" Wu Hen asked with concern.
Suzuka Gozen raised her head and looked at Wu Hen with a complicated expression. After a long while, she slowly said, "Why...why are you helping me?"
Wu Hen smiled slightly and was about to speak when he suddenly felt a powerful evil force approaching rapidly...
"Oh no! It's Yamata no Orochi!" Wu Hen's face changed, and he whispered, "Suzuka, now is not the time to talk about this, let's get rid of it first!"
Before Suzuka Gozen could react, Wu Hen dragged her along and ran wildly.
"You lead the way, and I'll cover your retreat!" Suzuka Gozen held the long sword in his backhand and said with a firm look in his eyes.
"Okay!" Wu Hen didn't waste any words, turned around and rushed towards the place where the evil power was the strongest.
He knew that was the lair of the Yamata no Orochi!
The two ran all the way and soon arrived at the deepest part of the evil spirit's lair.
"Roar!"
A deafening roar sounded, and a huge Yamata-no-Orochi slowly walked out of the darkness. Its eight pairs of scarlet eyes stared at Wu Hen and Suzuka Gozen, full of greed and murderous intent.
"You two want to stop me?" The Yamata no Orochi opened its bloody mouth and made a sound like thunder, shaking the entire nest.
"Who said there are only two of us?" Wu Hen sneered, turned his head to look at Suzuka Gozen behind him, and asked, "Are you ready?"
Suzuka Gozen did not say anything, but slowly raised the long sword in her hand, her eyes firm and resolute.
"Come on then!" Wu Hen laughed loudly, and suddenly a thousand feet of golden light burst out from his body...
In the golden light, Wu Hen's figure became blurred, but a powerful pressure came towards him.
Suzuka Gozen stared blankly at the scene in front of her, as if she saw a god descending.
"Oh my god! This kid has this trick?" Yuan Boya, who was hiding in the dark and observing, exclaimed.
The Yamata no Orochi was startled by this sudden change, but quickly came to its senses. Its eight snake heads roared angrily at the same time, spewing out billowing poisonous flames, surrounding Wu Hen and Suzuka Gozen.
“A trifle!
"Wu Hen sneered, and with a flash of his body, he passed through the poisonous flames and appeared in front of the Yamata no Orochi.
He reached out and grabbed one of the snake heads, twisted it hard, and with a "click", the snake head drooped limply.
"What?!" The Yamata no Orochi was shocked and angry, and the remaining seven snake heads attacked Wu Hen at the same time.
"Your opponent is me!
"Suzuka Gozen swung his sword, and the sharp blade forcefully forced the snake head back.
She and Wu Hen cooperated well, one of them took the lead in attacking while the other held the defense, and they actually forced the Yamata no Orochi to retreat step by step.
During the fierce battle, Wu Hen found the right opportunity and stuck a talisman on the Yamata no Orochi.
The talisman burst out with dazzling light, the Yamata-no-Orochi let out a painful wail, and its huge body quickly shrank, and was finally sealed in a small crystal ball.
"Done!" Wu Hen clapped his hands and put the crystal ball away.
Suzuka Gozen watched all this with mixed feelings.
She never thought that she would fight alongside a human and defeat the legendary Yamata no Orochi.
"Why...why are you helping me?" asked Suzuka Gozen.
Wu Hen shrugged, "When you see injustice, you should help. Isn't that what we should do?"
Suzuka Gozen wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Wu Hen, "Well, the evil spirit chaos has subsided, and you should go back and have a good rest.
"
"But..."
"It's nothing," Wu Hen waved his hand, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first.
By the way, this is for you," he casually threw a jade pendant to Suzuka Gozen, "if you get into trouble, just crush it.
"
Suzuka Gozen took the jade pendant, but before she could thank him, Wu Hen had disappeared.
"This guy..." Suzuka Gozen looked at the jade pendant in her hand, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"Lord Suzuka..." a timid voice came, and several surviving Suzuka Mountain monsters came over.
"Let's...let's go home."
Suzuka Gozen nodded and led his people out of the evil spirit's lair.
Wu Hen did not go far. He hid in the dark and watched Suzuka Gozen and others leave before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"System, settle the rewards."
"Ding!
Congratulations to the host for completing the mission 'Calming the Evil Spirits', gaining experience points, 5000 points, and a special reward: the god-level skill 'Yakitsu no Jutsu'.
"
Wu Hen nodded with satisfaction and was about to leave when he suddenly received a message secretly sent by Yuan Boya: "Brother Wu Hen, come quickly!
I have something important to discuss!
