While I was excited, Tong Tong wasn't happy to hear my words. She waved the Heavenly Lightning Chain in her hand to clear the ghosts around. She pouted and said to me, "No, I'm going to find Brother Fatty alone. If the little snake goes with me, who will protect you?"
Tong Tong had always been obedient, but now she was in a bad mood.
I was anxious and didn't care about my pleasant expression. My face darkened and I ordered her, "Tong Tong, listen to me!
Brother can deal with it alone. Look, the jade bracelet has the True Dragon Qi that can restore my True Essence. I always carry a lot of talismans with me, so it won't be a problem for me to go alone. I'll meet up with you soon! "
Normally, Tong Tong would definitely accept such a tone from me.
But this time, since it was related to my safety, Tong Tong didn't give in. She lifted her head and looked at me. After a moment of silence, she said, "No, Brother, if you want to do this, let the little snake go. I'll stay here."
At this moment, I was really angry. I took a deep breath and said, "Tong Tong, now isn't the time to make trouble. Listen to me and take the little snake with you."
This time, Tong Tong didn't say anything. She turned her head and focused on dealing with the ghosts behind her. Her attitude was clear. She insisted on leaving one person with me.
If we delayed here, the fatty's side would be in more danger. I nodded helplessly and accepted her suggestion. I let her go while the Snake Spirit stayed with me.
Although the Snake Spirit's cultivation was slightly higher than Tong Tong's, the Heavenly Lightning power could restrain the ghosts better.
However, the power of the Heavenly Lightning in the pupil's eyes was the bane of these spirits. Also, compared to the unreliable Spirit Snake, I felt more at ease with the pupil.
After getting my approval, Tong Tong revealed a smile. She put away the Heavenly Lightning Chain in her hand and turned to the Snake Spirit, who was crazily swallowing the ghosts. "Little snake, I'll leave this place to you. Do you hear me?
Don't just eat. If you don't protect me, I won't let you go when I come back. Do you understand? "
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing Tong Tong's words.
In my eyes, these two fellows were like my younger siblings or children. I always thought about how to protect them and when I needed them.
However, Tong Tong was still in a bad mood, so I didn't say anything.
As for the snake spirit, its fear of Tong Great Demon King was still there. After hearing that, it hurriedly swallowed a few ghosts in its mouth, quickly turned its thick body, and promised Tong Tong, "Don't worry, with the dragon … and the little snake here, it will definitely be fine!"
After getting the Spirit Snake's assurance, Tong Tong heaved a sigh of relief. After saying goodbye to me, he flashed and disappeared into the sea of ghosts in front of us.
Although I had been urging her to leave, I still, I didn't feel.
Ever since I met Tong Tong in university, he had been by my side for many years and had never left me.
This was the first time my eyes had left my field of vision.
This kind of feeling was like a parent seeing their child carrying a backpack and about to go to university. Their hearts were filled with complicated feelings and were filled with fear.
But very quickly, the Snake Spirit's croaky voice pulled me back from my thoughts. He chuckled and said to me, "Kid, don't worry. Whether that lass Tong Tong is here or not, it doesn't matter from the outside.
Sooner or later, I, Master Long, will devour all these Yin Souls.
Don't be afraid. Just follow behind me. "
As soon as Tong Tong left, he became arrogant. However, I didn't mind. The Snake Spirit was born with such a personality. There was no need to be calculative with him.
I pretended that I didn't hear him when he said to follow behind him.
If we were to stay and resist, one of us could block the ghosts. However, it would be hard for one person to take care of the surroundings if we were to move forward.
This was also the reason why Tong Tong had asked the Snake Spirit to stay.
While I was talking to Tong Tong, the Snake Spirit had been the only one supporting us. Hence, I waved the Armor Removing Sword and asked him to retreat to the back. Then, I continued to move forward.
Tong Tong's departure would naturally help the fatty to ease the situation.
However, I was still worried about them. Hence, my movements didn't slow down at all. I continued to move forward with all my might.
After fighting for more than ten minutes, Tong Tong finally sent me a message.
Tong Tong and I were telepathically connected. We didn't need any talismans to communicate with each other.
Tong Tong's voice arose in my head. "Brother, I'm at brother fatty's side!"
According to my estimation, the distance between the fatty and me was at least ten kilometers. There were also ghosts blocking the way. Although they wouldn't attack Tong Tong, they would still slow us down. I didn't expect that she would come here that fast.
Other than that, although Tong Tong and I are telepathically connected and can communicate directly, we have tried it before. We are separated by a few kilometers, so we are unable to communicate clearly. So, when she went over just now, I told her to contact me telepathically on the way. After she finds Fatty, if she is unable to contact him, let Fatty contact me through the Sound Transmitting Talisman.
With that in mind, I asked Tong Tong, "How far are we from here?"
Tong pondered for a while. He estimated the distance to be around ten kilometers. It was strange. However, I looked at the countless wisps of Yin energy in the air. Perhaps the environment here was good for ghosts like Tong and the snake spirit. That was why it was like this.
Of course, it wasn't important. I hurried to ask about the fatty's situation.
Tong Tong's voice didn't sound relaxed. However, she told me that the fatty was fine. He was just a little exhausted. She had come to help him. "He'll be fine after he recovers."
Just as I was about to heave a sigh of relief, Tong Tong said to me in a deep voice, "However, Big Brother, you have to be careful over there. When I came over just now, I clearly felt a … Mm, a big fellow heading in your direction.
You and the little snake should be careful. "
A big fellow?
Tong Tong, what does she mean?
I didn't get it. I wanted to ask again, but Tong Tong said anxiously, "You have to help the fatty stop the ghosts. You don't have time to talk to me. Please be careful." Then, she went silent.
This time, I couldn't ask more questions. I was on guard. Then, I gathered with the Snake Spirit and continued to move forward.
Around ten minutes later, the Snake Spirit and I fought. However, we didn't move as far as before. I didn't know why the number of ghosts around us didn't decrease after we killed them. Quite the contrary, they seemed to have increased.
The pressure on us had increased a lot.
At this moment, the Snake Spirit was staring at the front, so I didn't feel much pressure. While recovering my True Essence, I pondered.
At this moment, the huge body of the snake spirit that was constantly moving forward suddenly stopped. It didn't swallow the spirits in front of it, but stopped. It lifted its head to look in the direction of the fatty. Its snake face looked like a human, and it said to me in fright, "Kid … Kid, over there, there seems to be a big guy coming!"
A big fellow?
The thing Tong Tong just mentioned?
Hearing him say that, I couldn't help but be curious. I tapped the ground with my right foot and leaped. I landed next to the Snake Spirit's dragon horn and lifted my head to look.
Previously, when he was standing on the ground, he could only see the surrounding Yin Spirits moving in waves. However, when he stood on the head of the snake spirit, the scene was obviously different. The densely packed Yin Spirits were almost piled up into a mountain, as if the entire ground had been raised by a few inches. At a glance, it was far more terrifying than when he was standing on the ground.
What frightened the Serpent Spirit was obviously not these spirits, but a huge creature floating above the heads of countless spirits!
I focused and saw that the giant monster wasn't some strange monster. It was a one-wheeled, square-shaped chariot. Four ghost warhorses pulled the chariot from the heads of the ghosts. It slowly moved toward us.
In front of the chariot sat a ghost whose face I couldn't see clearly. The ghost wielded the whip in its hand. Sometimes, the ghost's head would pop out from the chariot, but the whip would hit it.
The lucky ones would fall back into the army of ghosts, and the unlucky ones would be turned into ashes.
The chariot rolled forward. However, no matter if the chariot rolled over a ghost's head or the whip hit a ghost's head, it didn't make a sound. The surroundings were strangely quiet.
