Breaking Door Wraith

Chapter 25: Breaking Door Wraith

Wu Xian assessed the effects of the Longevity Peach.

This thing could probably restore a dying person to full health. Even if two people shared it, splitting the effect, the healing power was still astonishing.

After Shi Ji recovered, he looked at Wu Xian with gratitude.

"Brother Xian, thank you for saving my dog's life. I won't say any more pleasantries. If you ever need my help, I won't refuse!"

Shi Ji said it very seriously.

He knew very well that without Wu Xian, he would have no way to survive this ordeal.

A terrifying figure was approaching at a slow pace.

Attempt communication? Surrender? Bribery...

In the flickering light, a robust man's face appeared.

What was the meaning of our struggle, we favored ones, in this blessed land?

The small rope swayed left and right, and the heavy object moved on its own. Qi Zhiyong's face broke into a smile, and at the same time, a talisman automatically burned.

With these three pieces of information, plus the fact that he was staying in an unmarked room tonight and wouldn't encounter a greater wraith attack, Qi Zhiyong's chances of survival greatly increased.

Wu Xian turned to look around.

No, there wasn't the slightest chance of winning. The divination results indicated that even if he used all his means, he was far from being a match for this greater wraith.

"If we wait here until dawn, the only possible outcome is to be digested by this mutated room and become part of that deformed flesh and blood!"

The small rope remained still.

"Even though the Five Filth God is dead, this mutated environment is still eroding us. We are like two people hiding in its belly."

Shi Ji's heart clenched when he heard this.

Inside the room was a den of flesh and blood, but outside the room was a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. The experiences of the past few days had already shown that rooms with doors were shelters, and leaving the room at night was an act of courting death.

His face immediately turned grim: "We have to leave."

Rope Mallet Technique.

The blessed land was cruel and unreasonable, leaving no hope. People were like grass, and evil spirits took pleasure in cutting grass. The only difference between favored ones and ordinary people was that favored ones could live a little longer.

Wu Xian pointed to the surroundings.

"Don't thank me yet," Wu Xian waved his hand. "Have you noticed that the healing effect has stopped? Our physical condition is deteriorating."

But now was not the time to dwell on these things.

Qi Zhiyong's scalp tingled.

Shi Ji immediately opened the door, and the two of them withdrew from the room at the same time. The twisted flesh and blood inside did not pursue them.

Shi Ji was stunned and immediately noticed that his gums were starting to ache again.

This made Qi Zhiyong relax a little.

But this terrifying mutated room sensed their intention to escape.

So after joining the organization, he had asked Jing Ke.

Moving the hands of the clock forward a distance.

Looking at the still untwisted door, his heart was filled with extreme oppression.

The burning talisman was a divination technique.

So Shi Ji nodded, choosing to believe Wu Xian.

Fight him?

"This is impossible!"

The surrounding flesh and blood and internal organs writhed incessantly, the hanging skin twitched and spasmed, noses and mouths that could be seen everywhere opened and closed continuously, and the air was filled with a nauseating stench.

"Door-Breaking Wraith!"

The two quickly packed their belongings and stood at the door, preparing to observe the situation outside through the peephole and choose a safe moment to escape.

"This room wasn't marked. Why? Why did it target me tonight?"

Qi Zhiyong had just asked three questions and obtained three very useful pieces of information.

"I can't take it anymore. Open the door immediately. I don't believe we're so unlucky as to run into a Breaking Door Greater Wraith."

Since the blessed land was so terrifying, participants would die sooner or later, so was there any point in struggling? Rather than being tortured to death by evil spirits, it was better to end it early.

Room 406.

Outside the door was a dark and eerie corridor, the ground covered in plaster and bloodstains, and the lights on the ceiling flickered uneasily.

This was the fourth floor, and heaven knew what demons and monsters lurked in the dark streets.

This blessed land will definitely end within five days.

"Holy crap! We actually ran into it!"

Qi Zhiyong took a deep breath and uttered his last words.

"The remaining duration of this blessed land is more than five days."

But Wu Xian's reasoning also made sense.

Qi Zhiyong silently recited, "Jing Ke said, life itself is meaning..."

He immediately realized that the rules they had previously summarized were flawed.

Bang!

A deafening roar interrupted Qi Zhiyong's thoughts.

Under the dim yellow light outside the door stood a figure like an iron tower. His sturdy build, terrifying face, and oppressive aura, like that of a natural predator, made sweat stream down Qi Zhiyong's face.

Between possibly dying and definitely dying, they had only one choice left.

And that evil spirit can only kill one person per day!

These deformed things lunged towards Wu Xian and the other person at the door.

His face was shocked, and he suddenly turned his head, only to see that the door had been destroyed, and shattered wood splinters had pierced his face.

Shi Ji was stunned: "Why? It's not even dawn yet. Going out now is very likely to encounter an evil spirit."

"Breaking Door Wraith, can only kill one person every night!"

Wu Xian cursed in a low voice.

Qi Zhiyong whispered to Xiao Sheng, "With the items I currently possess, I can kill the Breaking Door Wraith."

Xiao Sheng remained motionless. Qi Zhiyong frowned and continued.

Escape through the window?

"Didn't you notice? Everything around us is alive!"

He had been confused before.

The Door-Breaking Wraith was very strong. A direct confrontation would surely lead to death.

It is said that this method originated from the old Hezhen people. A small mallet was tied to a rope. The person held the end of the rope still and could ask three questions. If the rope swayed after speaking, it meant the statement was correct.

Qi Zhiyong!

Shi Ji's face instantly turned green, and Wu Xian's temples twitched uncontrollably. What terrified them was not Qi Zhiyong, but what was behind him.

How to survive was the priority.

He stabbed at these things with the copper coin spear. The spear's effect was quite good; each swing could repel some flesh and blood, but compared to the massive pile of flesh and blood, it was like a drop in the bucket.

Wu Xian smiled: "Then, let's start preparing. The sooner, the better."

Qi Zhiyong sat cross-legged under the moonlight, holding a thin hemp rope. A weight was tied to the other end of the rope, and the weight remained perfectly still, perpendicular to the rope.

The originally dormant room was awakened. All the flesh and blood began to tremble and writhe, like a giant meat pocket about to close—skin, large mouths, intestines...

After using this talisman, one could perform a divination. Depending on the divination pattern, the effects would vary. The one Qi Zhiyong used was a common divination method within their organization.

Qi Zhiyong thought a lot.

But in the end, only one method was reliable.

That was to shift the blame!

The Greater Wraith could only kill one person per day now. Therefore, as long as Qi Zhiyong broke open other doors and let the Greater Wraith kill less valuable people, he could escape this calamity!
