The hillghost looked slender, but its strength was surprisingly great. With a pounce, it pushed Qinchuan to the ground. It opened its mouth full of sharp fangs and was about to bite Qinchuan's throat. It was truly ferocious!
Upon seeing this, Qinchuan suddenly exerted force with both hands, wanting to push the hillghost off him. However, when his hands landed on the hillghost's body, they were soft and he couldn't exert any strength at all!
Just as the hillghost was about to bite Qinchuan's neck, a figure suddenly pounced from the side and knocked the hillghost away from Qinchuan!
"Qinchuan, run!"
Lü Zi opened her arms and hugged the hillghost tightly. She wanted to buy time for Qinchuan to escape!
"Run, my ass!
Get out of the way! "
Qinchuan rolled over and got up from the ground. With an angry roar, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared on his body. A terrifying bolt of lightning condensed in Qinchuan's palm, transforming into an azure spear. With a forceful throw, it shot towards the hillghost's head with a whoosh!
Sizzle!
After the violent bolt of lightning struck the hillghost's head, it suddenly exploded, transforming into a cage made of lightning. It completely enveloped the hillghost and Lü Zi, who didn't have time to dodge. Qinchuan quickly stepped forward and reached out to pull Lü Zi out of the cage. The two of them fell back together.
If this move doesn't work, then I really have no other choice!
Qinchuan hugged Lü Zi as he lay on the ground. He looked at the hillghost howling in the cage and felt helpless. Facing such a powerful and strange creature, he really had no other choice but to risk his life.
The offensive methods I have are still too simple.
Qinchuan sighed softly. If he was lucky enough to survive this time, he would definitely work hard to cultivate in the future and master more combat methods. He would never risk his life like he did now.
Gradually, the hillghost's wails became much weaker. It was no longer as crazy and sharp as before. At that moment, the bolt of lightning gradually weakened after its initial outburst. Qinchuan could already see the hillghost lying on the ground. Its body was still twitching, and its throat was letting out hoarse roars. Clearly, it was still alive!
"It can't even die from this?"
At that moment, the hillghost's appearance had changed. It was no longer pitch-black but had turned into an incongruous dark blue. Qinchuan suspected that the hillghost's body had the strange ability to absorb all kinds of energy. Its appearance had changed probably because its body had absorbed too much bolt of lightning.
It seemed that the hillghost's current situation was not very good. However, Qinchuan's physical condition was also very poor. At that moment, Lü Zi was still unconscious. If any demon beast sensed the commotion here and heard the sound, it would be terrible.
Thinking of this, Qinchuan struggled to get up from the ground. He reached into his backpack and took out two disposable magic weapons, preparing to add more fuel to the hillghost. At that moment, the hillghost's body suddenly swelled strangely. In the blink of an eye, it became as round as a balloon!
Seeing this scene, Qinchuan was shocked. He subconsciously turned over to protect Lü Zi. Almost at the same time, a violent explosion came from behind him. The terrifying impact sent Qinchuan and Lü Zi flying. They fell on the lawn more than ten meters away in a sorry state!
This time, Qinchuan finally could not hold on. His vision turned black, and he fainted.
…
"Hiss …"
As soon as Qinchuan woke up, he could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. The intense pain coming from his back almost made him faint again.
"Qinchuan, you're awake?!"
Lü Zi, who had been guarding by the side, immediately asked excitedly when she saw Qinchuan wake up, "How do you feel?"
Qinchuan slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lü Zi, who was sitting at the side with a worried expression. He grinned and said, "Looks like I won't die."
Hearing Qinchuan's words, Lü Zi's tense emotions finally relaxed. The next moment, hot tears rolled down from her eyes.
"You were unconscious for an entire day and night. I was really worried to death."
"So I was unconscious for so long."
Qinchuan looked up at the bright sky and asked Lü Zi, "That hillghost should be dead, right?"
"Yes."
Lü Zi nodded. Then, she opened her hand and placed a green bead the size of an eyeball in front of Qinchuan. She said, "I went to the place where the hillghost exploded. This is the only thing left."
Looking at the green bead in Lü Zi's hand, Qinchuan could not recognize what it was. He said to Lü Zi, "Keep it first. Maybe your grandfather will recognize what it is."
As he spoke, Qinchuan frowned again and said to Lü Zi, "Is the injury on my back very serious?
Why does it hurt so much? "
Hearing Qinchuan mention the injury on his back, Lü Zi could not help but cry again. She said, "Your combat uniform was destroyed. The flesh on your back was shattered. I can even see your spine."
"It's that serious?"
Qin Chuan was shocked. It would be fine if they were in the city, but they were in the wilderness. It would be difficult for him to recover from such serious injuries in a short period of time.
"I gave you healing medicine and applied external injury medicine. During this period of time, we will find a place to rest. We will continue our journey when your injuries are better."
After Lü Zi woke up, she saw Qinchuan lying on top of her. His back was a bloody mess. Naturally, she guessed that Qinchuan must have been injured to protect her. She blamed herself and quickly treated Qinchuan's injuries. Otherwise, Qinchuan would not have woken up so early.
Qinchuan lay on the ground and said with lingering fear, "This hillghost is too terrifying. No wonder no one could survive in front of it."
The hillghost's body could absorb energy, which meant that it was not afraid of any attacks. Ordinary people would not be able to do anything to it.
If Qinchuan had not been able to erupt with powerful lightning in an instant and cause the hillghost to explode, their fate would not have been any better than the others.
"Why did you risk your life to save me?"
Lü Zi looked at Qinchuan with an extremely complicated expression. She was certain that if Qinchuan had not protected her last night, he would not have suffered such serious injuries. In the end, she was the one who had dragged Qinchuan down.
Qinchuan chuckled and said, "If you hadn't knocked the hillghost away in time yesterday, I would have died."
"But you were also the one who pulled me away yesterday. Otherwise, I would have died earlier than you."
What Lv Zi said was the truth. Back then, she had been stunned by the mountain ghost's strange ability to absorb energy. For a moment, she had forgotten to dodge its attack. If Qin Chuan hadn't pushed her, she would have been a dead person.
"Is there any point in talking about this?"
Qinchuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. "We are companions. I saved you and you saved me. Isn't that normal?"
