C39 (1/2)

Third Uncle inwardly cursed. Just as he was about to retrieve the yellow talisman, something happened.

I saw clearly from the side that once this ghost dodged the yellow talisman, it would immediately bite towards Third Uncle's hand. Third Uncle also couldn't dodge in time and was helpless to do so.

After the ghost bit third uncle, it didn't give him a chance to speak, as if it wanted to suck him dry.

Third Uncle would never let him succeed! Third Uncle stabbed the wooden sword into his throat, nailing the ghost to the wall. Then, with great effort, he broke free from the ghost's mouth.

Then, without caring about his injuries, I stuck the Yellow Talisman on the ghost's head. After that, without caring about what happened to the ghost, he immediately walked over to me.

”Third Uncle, how is it? Are you alright?” I rushed over to support Third Uncle. Third Uncle waved his hand and said.

”It's nothing, I just got bitten. ”Xiaofan, help me get some glutinous rice out of my bag on the ground, I'm afraid there's corpse poison in this wound.”

After Third Uncle finished speaking, he used his other hand to perform some sort of technique on the one who was bitten, as if temporarily suppressing the corpse poison.

I hastily took out a small jar of glutinous rice from my bag. I opened the lid and handed it over to Third Uncle.

Third Uncle grabbed a handful and applied it to his wound, letting out a puff of white smoke. Third Uncle clenched his teeth and beads of sweat appeared on his head, as if he was in great pain.

I couldn't help but start to worry as well. Third Uncle tore off a corner of his clothes and roughly wrapped up the wound. Only then did he say to me, ”It's no big deal. Xiaofan, you don't have to worry.” Third Uncle shook his head.

Seeing this, I calmed down, but thinking that this Spirit King is even more troublesome, I couldn't help but ask again.

”Third Uncle, then should we go find that Ghost King this time? Even that ghost guard is so difficult to deal with.” Why don't we wait until you've recovered? ”

Although I thought that Xiaofang was in danger now, but I didn't want to see the other closest person also gone. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but clench my fists. Why am I so useless!

Third Uncle saw my expression and was startled. He immediately smiled and said, ”Don't worry, Xiaofan. Just now, he had accidentally been injured by this ghost guard. Besides, I brought magical equipment with me to deal with the Spirit King. ”Don't worry, with the sky falling, you'll have Third Uncle to take care of it.”

After saying that, Third Uncle walked over to me and patted my shoulder. Then he smiled at me to reassure me.

Seeing Third Uncle like this, he couldn't help but feel touched. Perhaps this was kinship. There would always be someone who would protect you. Regardless of whether you had ample wings or not, there would always be no difference.

”Alright, I understand.” I also nodded my head, secretly vowing that I would also have to give my family this protection in the future.

”Let's go, maybe we can defeat the Ghost King and rescue Xiaofang, maybe we can go back and rest tonight!” Third Uncle turned to me and said as he looked at the green brick in front of us.

”Oh, I almost forgot. Take this.” Third Uncle handed me the bundle.

I was also curious. I opened the bundle and saw that it was actually this.

The wooden sword, the Eight Trigrams Mirror, and the robe that Third Uncle had given me when I went back to my hometown were all inside the bag.

I took it and changed it.

When I saw that Third Uncle wasn't wearing a daoist robe, I curiously asked, ”Third Uncle, why don't you wear a daoist robe?”

When his third uncle heard this, he smiled and said, ”I'm wearing it. Here, take a look.”

With that, Third Uncle pulled his coat and I saw the daoist robe.

Dammit, if Third Uncle were to wear it like that, wouldn't it mean that the bottom part would be tucked into his pants? If I were to continue acting like this, I would definitely die from the heat. I couldn't help but feel speechless.

Third Uncle seemed to be quite proud of it. After that, he took off the clothes on the outside and left a set of daoist robes behind.

”Alright, let's go in!” Third Uncle said seriously.

Admittedly, we are about to encounter a great enemy, and we cannot be as casual as we are now.

After saying that, Third Uncle stepped forward and opened the door.

I was also secretly amazed. The design of this ancient person was truly marvelous.

Third Uncle went down the front stairs, and I immediately followed him.

It was still pitch black down there. I couldn't help but get a little scared and become even more careful.

As I walked, I suddenly remembered why the ghost guard had appeared behind us.

There were only two possibilities. They could either have stayed in this corner from the beginning, or they could have followed him along the way.

I couldn't help but feel a chill behind my back when I thought of the possibility behind me. I couldn't help but look back and see nothing but darkness.

I could only quicken my pace and walk towards the location of Third Uncle.

This staircase was really long. Although he had come here once, it hadn't felt like it was this long. This time, it was probably because I was a little afraid of what would happen next, so all I wanted to do was walk faster.

After walking for half a day, they arrived at the end of the stairs at noon.

”Xiaofan, be careful. We can't let your guard down now.” Third Uncle leaned towards me, as if he was worried about my safety.
