Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 40 Good Luck
"The ghost candle is burning faster."

The ghostly green flame began to dance restlessly, as if some invisible person was trying to blow out the ghost candle.

"It's a ghost, not a ghost slave."

Cao Yang made the judgment almost subconsciously.

“Clang clang clang~!”

The sounds of metal colliding and rubbing did not stop, and it seemed that a man in armor was approaching in the darkness.

"Ghost Armor?"

Cao Yang was not careless, and the ghost candle stretched forward, and the dark green flame expanded instantly, just like pouring hot oil into a cold pot. The flames exploded, and the ghost candle was instantly shortened by one third.

Cao Yang's eyelids twitched as he watched. This ghost was very ferocious.

“Clang clang clang~!”

Cao Yang avoided several attacks with the help of the ghost den, while at the same time he was thinking about the patterns of evil spirits in his mind.

After a crisp sound, Cao Yang's face turned extremely ugly. The ghost carrying a human was nailed to the ground by the evil ghost's weapon and turned back into a thick black shadow. Moreover, since the weapon was out of hand, the evil ghost seemed to start using its own ability.

"Evil ghost, mummy, and that weapon, which ghost's pattern am I triggering now?"

The sound of metal collision was so harsh that Cao Yang even felt like he was almost experiencing a brief tinnitus.

While dodging, the ghost carrying a human has already arrived at the feet of the evil ghost. The evil ghost is the heaviest being, so it is natural that it will be attacked by the ghost carrying a human.

"Whoo~"

The ghost candle was blown out by him.

“Is this the ghost armor?”

Various parts of the armor collided with each other, making a dull thumping sound. The ghost was gradually approaching Cao Yang. Every step it took seemed to be stepping on Cao Yang's heart, making him feel creepy.

Before the flames went out, Cao Yang saw the full appearance of the ghost: a skinny mummy, wrapped in a thick layer of metal armor, holding a simple weapon in the hand - a bronze spear with red spots, green embroidery and covered with blood, wrapped with some kind of leather rope on a rotten wooden stick.

"stirrup!"

The mummy, along with its armor, was stuck to the back of the ghost carrying a human, but the ghost was not carried up, and the law of death when his feet were off the ground was not triggered.

“Clang clang clang~!”

A tall and thin ghost figure stood up from the ground, exuding a cold aura.

At this moment, the corpse seemed not to be a ghost, but a soldier fighting on an ancient battlefield, and the spear was the sharpest killing weapon in his hand. However, the soldier's movements were a bit clumsy, and he could only perform the simplest stabbing and chopping movements.

Bend over and reach back.

You know, Cao Yang has been maintaining the ghost den. The gravity nearby is completely disordered, but the evil ghost seems to be completely unaffected and is still approaching step by step.

Cao Yang took out the ghost candle again and lit it quickly.

The flames dispelled the darkness, and the heavy footsteps of the evil spirits also stopped. However, the ghost candles burned very quickly, and it was estimated that they would not last even five minutes.

"Damn it, we need to get the ghost back on his feet first."

The ghost carrying a man on his back was nailed to the ground by the bronze spear, but it was not suppressed. The black shadow was still wriggling, but could not move freely.

The tip of the bronze spear was deeply embedded in the ground. Cao Yang had to use a lot of effort to pull it out even with the changed gravity. However, the place where the ghost was nailed became blank, as if a piece of it had been dug out. However, Cao Yang also got this equally ferocious supernatural object.

In just a short while, the ghost candle was only one-third of its length left, and it was estimated that it would not even last two minutes.

"The mummy is wearing armor all over, with only gaps at the joints and neck. If I can stick the death card on the mummy, maybe I still have a chance. This supernatural item has no information at all. Just because the evil spirit can afford the price doesn't mean I can. Even if the bronze spear and the hatchet cost the same, I can't afford it."

Cao Yang's brain was working fast. He needed to think of a way to deal with this evil ghost before the ghost candle burned out completely. At the moment, it seemed that only the death card was suitable.

“Clang clang clang~!”

The armored mummy was walking back and forth in the darkness not far away, as if waiting for the moment when the ghost candle would go out.

"There is too little information to analyze the ghost's pattern. The gravity ghost's lair is too weak, and the armor has no effect at all."

There were only a few centimeters left of the ghost candle in his hand, and Cao Yang became more and more anxious.

"Got it! Maybe I can just put the death card into the hands of the evil ghost. When the ghost has a weapon, it seems to use it first to attack. But ghosts can't write, and once the death card is touched, it will trigger invisible shackles to restrain the action. And I don't need to know the use of the bronze spear. I just need to use the bronze spear to make the evil ghost get rid of the death card after getting it, and the law of death by beheading will be triggered."

The flames went out, and Li Gui and Cao Yang sprang into action instantly, a two-way rush.

This time, Cao Yang only covered himself with the ghost den, but the ghost was still able to accurately lock Cao Yang's position, and it sounded like the evil ghost was running.

"Empty! Empty!"

In the darkness, the evil spirit raised one arm, revealing the blue and purple elbow of the mummy, and then rushed towards Cao Yang. Cao Yang could only barely determine the evil spirit's position based on the sound.

"boom!"

"Bang~!"

With a loud bang, a thin figure was blown away. Cao Yang felt like he was hit by a dump truck and spurted out a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, he was still conscious and controlled gravity to lie down steadily before landing. The bronze spear also slipped out of his hand and fell to an unknown place.

"Ahem! This is really a stroke of luck."

Cao Yang felt that his entire upper body was smashed, and there was a dent on his chest. The flesh around it had begun to rot, and the dent had turned blue and purple. Only Cao Yang knew that he was hit by the evil ghost's elbow. Not only was the ghost's power terrible, but the armor alone knocked him so hard that he almost fainted.

"Damn, the elbow-hitting ghost is really that scary!"

Cao Yang managed to piece together his broken and fractured body with gravity, and slowly stood up. The gravity ghost was agitated. This body could no longer satisfy its needs, and it needed a more perfect body. The dent in his chest could not be restored, so Cao Yang could only let that part of his flesh and blood rot.

But Cao Yang smiled, because in the collision just now, he had already stuffed the death card into the hands of the evil spirit. The armor has no hands, so the one holding the death card must be the mummy, and the one whose hands and feet are restricted will also be the mummy. But the mummy has another layer of armor on it, and the death card cannot bypass the armor if it wants to restrict the mummy.

The conflict between the supernatural and the evil spirits has already occurred.

Cao Yang stumbled around. He wanted to find the bronze spear. It didn't matter if he didn't know how to use it, as long as he could get rid of the evil spirit and make the death card fall to the ground.
