Imperial Treasure-Chapter 813 - 502: Somewhat Terrifying (Part 2)
No! The sword didn’t actually touch their heads but sliced through the air above them.
Squish!
A transparent membrane was torn, spurting out a mass of dark green liquid into the air.
Two jellyfish-like entities with faces resembling human features, roughly the size of human heads, screamed shrilly with the green liquid, more piercing than a ghostly wail, and sprang away like springs, leaving two disgusting green marks on the wall before lunging back again!
"Watch out!"
Sui Yi swung Demon Que, flickering coldly, forcing out a chilling aura. The two green blobs shrank back, twisting direction towards Losar and the group!
Cao Ling, Zhong Lang, and the Northern Ice Wolf Clan had already sensed something amiss when Sui Yi drew his sword, not to mention the naked bodies outside clearly indicated there must have been other ghostly beings in the room.
Sure enough!
Demon Que forced out these two ghostly beings.
Two jellyfish?
The group moved forward, swish! Their weapons struck at it!
There were many attacks, yet these two ghostly things were terrifyingly fast, able to change direction in mid-air!
Twisting twice, they bounced off to the side chairs, then rebounded!
They dodged the gaps in Cao Ling and others’ attacks and sprung toward Losar and Muen Mashafeideli near the door!
"Get down!"
Cao Ling was horrified, instinctively lunging forward to save his uncle.
But it was too late, these ghostly things moved too quickly!
Right in front of Losar and Muen Mashafeideli appeared the translucent, greenish, disgusting jellyfish, heading for their faces...
At that instant, Ye Zixu’s left hand pressed down, quickly forming hand seals in the air, where the Inner Strength emanating from his fingertips formed several gaseous characters.
"Seal, Slash, Vast, Righteous, Technique!"
Buzz!
A twisted air shield!
The two green blobs collided with what was in front of Losar—a shield formed by merging five gaseous characters with Inner Strength.
The shield was translucent, allowing Losar and Muen Mashafeideli to see clearly these two sticky creatures frantically exuding masses of green threads, resembling nerve tendrils. Without this shield just now, they would have infiltrated their brains in an instant.
Whether they’d die wasn’t certain, but seeing the two pale corpses on the ground, a chill ran through their hearts.
Especially Losar, for such a noble act by the famed Grand Duke in England known for embodying aristocratic virtue would disgrace the entire Duke’s Mansion. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Both sighed with relief simultaneously.
However, ancient characters flowed on the shield’s surface, and the two jellyfish appeared to be sealed!
From behind, Demon Que sliced through the air...
A chilling straight sweep!
Rip~
The two jellyfish split into four pieces, fell to the ground with a splat.
Green liquid flowed out.
No longer moved.
Yet the sticky mother body quickly shriveled, turning into two seven-parts translucent and three-parts flesh-colored skins.
A human-faced skin, just one human face.
The room was solemn, and after a moment, Mario gasped, asking: "What the hell are these things?"
Most Westerners couldn’t recognize such creatures, more familiar with witches, Medusa, little sprites, and such from their tradition. Regarding Eastern creatures, they knew little, yes, perhaps a monkey and a pig are the deepest impressions.
But certainly not these two jellyfish-like things, which could change color, move so fast, and seemingly fly, not needing water, maybe they were monsters?
"Mask Ghost Mother," Landis’ distinctive voice reverberated in everyone’s ears, "Eastern Apparition," he looked at Ye Zixu: "It seems this Chinese friend is more knowledgeable."
Ye Zixu returned a look, "Indeed, it belongs to a special kind of underwater being, but I’m not sure why it has such abilities. Nonetheless, it can invade the human brain with toxins, confuse the mind."
"Very much in line with biological scientific explanation, I thought Mr. Ye would explain using Chinese ghost and monster folklore," Landis lazily said.
"Explain? Clearly, I’m not the one to do so," Ye Zixu responded coldly.
There was a faint edge of targeted hostility.
The strife between the Northern Ice Wolf Clan and the orthodox Chinese sects? Anyway, neither party harbors goodwill.
Indeed, Ye Zixu’s reasoning was very scientific, as everyone would prefer to understand it this way, but Mario’s face was pale, saying: "But what’s with those two faces, her face... I’ve seen it before."
"Relax, buddy, Miss Wo Er, we’ve all seen her~ you don’t need to be so nervous," Muen Mashafeideli patted his shoulder, comforting him.
