Chapter 398: Chapter 271: Ghost Pulling Wall?_2

"Loulan had a civilization of murals, which I had seen outside, but none seemed as splendid as this one," Ye Changan said.

His tone was somewhat wistful, or should I say, profound?

"Since you like archaeology, why study medicine? I heard from your grandfather that you never wanted to pursue this field," Xiao Yu asked, pausing before she continued, "Is it because your grandfather dislikes it?"

"No, it’s just because of me... sometimes liking something doesn’t necessarily mean you should pursue it."

"Perhaps its other side is disgust."

It was a strange thing to say. Sui Yi didn’t respond. Xiao Yu furrowed her brows and said, "I think you could have been a soldier."

So, Captain Xiao, are you determined to undermine the medical field?

Sui Yi smiled, yet suddenly, he tensed and reflexively looked towards the wall...

And at Ye Changan below the wall...

"Changan?"

Ye Changan didn’t respond!

Xiao Yu caught on and instantly stepped forward, fiercely tugging at her arm...

She couldn’t move her!

It was as if a force was pulling Ye Changan back!

A ghost pulling against the wall?

Upon seeing Ye Changan’s profile, Xiao Yu’s expression instantly changed!

Her face turned pale as if she had been drained of blood!

And in that moment, Xiao Yu sharply lifted her left leg, reached beside her right leg for the sheath, and drew a short dagger, fiercely slashing downward!

She had gone mad?

Whoosh! Beneath her shoe, connected to a jump, was something dark green and as thick as a pinkie finger... resembling a small hand that Xiao Yu ruthlessly severed with her dagger, making it fall to the ground... which quickly slipped into a crevice.

Oddly, this pinkie-thick weird object appeared hollow, like a tube, and it suddenly deflated, speeding into the crevice.

"There’s something underground that will burrow into the body!" Xiao Yu’s voice alerted Sui Yi, who rushed forward. Whoosh! He swiftly drew the Demon Que, and Magnetic Sensation spread out... it was here!

He stepped forward, leapt, and, gripping the handle, thrust fiercely into the ground between the blue bricks...

Whoosh!

It was like piercing into flesh...

The sword sank a third of its blade deep, and blood sprayed from the area around the blade.

Ye Changan suddenly went limp and collapsed, but Xiao Yu caught her and, with a flash, moved some distance away, leaving Sui Yi standing in front of the wall.

What in the world was that?

A ghost hand?

"Sui Yi, something is off about this place; don’t stand so close,"

"Okay,"

As Sui Yi turned to leave with the others... suddenly!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Little green hands burst from the cracks in the blue stone slabs, like little demons crawling out of Hell...

And they were accompanied by a creepy, shrill laughter...

In the blink of an eye, they charged at the trio!

Zoom, Sui Yi somersaulted, spinning the Demon Que in hand, sweeping it backhandedly, gripping with both hands, the sword tip skimming the ground as he fiercely slash upward!

Swipe!

The crescent moon slashed with a single sword!

Inner Strength converted into Sword Qi, gathering a bluish glow, with a swish, it fiercely cut through the blue stone slab... cutting two meters away, snap!

A sword tore a gash in the wall about one meter high.

Splat... black pus spurted out, emitting a foul stench repeatedly.

Xiao Yu hurriedly held Ye Changan and retreated to the back room, only looking at this wall through The Gate.

The beautiful mural was already ruined, with an added ferocious sword mark.

All the little blue hands on the ground had collapsed limply to the floor, at first glance they looked like little green sleeves.

"Is there something inside the wall?"

"Hmm... it looks like we’ve encountered the fourth kind of specialty product from the Ancient City of Loulan."

"...Sui Yi, you really aren’t cut out for joking."

So cold.

As Xiao Yu spoke, he checked Ye Changan’s breathing, thankfully, there was still breath, then he removed Ye Changan’s shoes and socks...

Meanwhile, Following Sui Yi had already made several swishes with her sword and completely severed the wall.

The true appearance inside revealed itself, and with just one glance, her eyes flickered.

Turning her head, "Xiao Yu, take a look at this"

Xiao Yu saw it and got startled.

But Sui Yi also saw Ye Changan’s two bare white legs...

Hmm, that was somewhat frightening as well.

Inside the wall was clearly a sealed dead body, a middle-aged man embedded into the wall, bricked up on the outside, wearing black clothing, staring with eyes open, his body still fairly intact, seemed because it was sealed, it hadn’t rotted much, but his abdomen had been shredded by Sui Yi’s Sword Qi, revealing what was inside... a demon head?

An infant?

More accurately, it was a very ugly green plant.

At first glance, it resembled a pitcher plant.

The core part was engorged, the blood still very fresh, apparently Ye Changan’s.

Around the green plant was the desiccated internal framework and organs, all shriveled and filled with black pus, which flowed down profusely...

This scene was indeed quite frightening.

Seeing so many but still frightened, Xiao Yu quickly calmed down, took a closer look at the green plant...

"How is she?" Sui Yi asked.

"That green tube pricked her and sucked blood... luckily, it hasn’t infiltrated with poison, but I am not sure, you should come and check," Xiao Yu could only express a suspicion about someone’s physical condition but couldn’t be sure whether there were some toxins hidden inside the body.

"Hmm..."

Sui Yi was about to turn around when suddenly... her gaze fell on the sleeve of the middle-aged man, it seemed there was something hiding... a little section of something...

With a flick of Demon Que, something like a square scarf fell from the man’s sleeve, which was surprisingly clean because it was hidden inside the sleeve...

With a flick of the sword tip, Sui Yi’s palm grasped the soft silk scarf.

Without looking, she quickly walked to the back room.

After checking on Ye Changan...

"Just blood loss, no poison... Give her something to eat," Sui Yi said while sending some Magnetic Sensation into Ye Changan’s wrist; Xiao Yu nodded and took out medicines from the backpack...

Sui Yi sat down on a chair nearby, picking up the scarf.

"Is this from that corpse?" Xiao Yu’s movements were swift, yet he didn’t miss the details Sui Yi noted.(My novel "Imperial Treasure" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there’s also a 100% lottery gift for everyone!
