Chapter 51 Mary Xiao’s Base Camp
Xu Yi chewed chocolate while watching the battle between Hunter and the puppet, transforming into a melon-eating crowd.
Hunter held an exorcism weapon in his hand, and Xu Yi didn't know whether to call it a dagger or a sword.
It was a standard cross sword style, with a slender blade, exquisite flowers carved on the hilt, and a sky blue gemstone inlaid in the center of the sword grid, which looked particularly exquisite.
It is called a dagger because the instrument is very short, only about 30 centimeters.
Xu Yi stared at the cross dagger with great covetousness.
The doll's skin was not too fragile, but in front of the cross dagger, it was like paper and was easily cut open, and even the bones inside were cut in half.
Such a sharp dagger can be called a magical weapon!
Hunter stabbed the dagger into the chest of the puppet, but did not pull it out immediately. He waited for two seconds.
When the dagger left the doll's chest, the doll was like a deflated balloon and fell limply to the ground.
To deal with the doll, in addition to removing the device under the throat, you can also use an exorcist.
Xu Yi has known this for a long time, but he only has a few exorcism lighters and very little ectoplasmic fuel, so using them to deal with the puppets is a drop in the bucket.
"The efficiency is really high!" Xu Yi was very jealous. If he could have such a dagger, he would have eliminated these puppets long ago.
There were not many puppets left, and Hunter could solve them even if Xu Yi didn't help, but Xu Yi quickly stuffed the last bite of chocolate into his mouth and stood up.
He could see that Hunter was very anxious now.
The two worked together to deal with all the puppets. Before they could take a breath, Hunter asked eagerly, "Have you seen Laura?"
Xu Yi shook his head.
Hunter's face turned pale and he paced back and forth, "What should we do? Laura only has a spare magic exorcism device on her body, and the rest are in my hands. If I had known that I should have divided the box into two parts, it was all the fault of the old stubborn in the family. !"
Xu Yi listened quietly, it was difficult for him to express his opinion now.
After Hunter hesitated for a few seconds, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Xu Yi, "I'm going back to find Laura. Can you come and help? I know you want that painting. Once I find Laura, I will give the painting to you. ."
"Actually, I just want to borrow it and copy it." Xu Yi chose to tell the truth.
It wasn't that he didn't want another magic exorcism device, but he had a vague feeling that something might have happened to Laura.
If Laura's body is found by then, and Hunter is forced to give the painting to him due to his promise, there is a high probability that he will receive not gratitude, but resentment.
Why do something so thankless?
Hunter was stunned for a moment, then he laid the metal box flat on the ground and opened it. He found the painting from the box and stuffed it directly into Xu Yi's hand.
"I lent you the painting. I hope you can help me find Laura!"
Xu Yi did not refuse this time and nodded.
They headed deeper into the tunnel again, planning to return to the cave where they should be able to find some clues.
Taking advantage of this free time, Xu Yi began to look at the paintings in his hands.
It was indeed a painting by a master. He was attracted by it at first glance.
The painting depicts a scene of an angel killing a demon. The style is not purely realistic, but has some abstract elements.
But it is this way of processing that makes the picture burst out with a powerful vitality.
The painting seemed to come alive, with the angel holding the golden holy sword high and piercing the devil's wings. Xu Yi seemed to be able to smell the devil's blood and feel the burning brilliance of the holy sword.
He subconsciously took out the drawing book from his backpack and wanted to copy it, but after just a few strokes, he was interrupted... A group of dolls came from the end of the passage.
The puppet didn't cause much trouble to the two of them. After getting rid of the puppet, they moved on.
After a while, they returned to the underground cave.
The cave was empty. Not only was Laura missing, but the doll was also missing.
"Look at the footprints on the ground. Some of them extend in that direction, which is probably the direction in which Laura escaped." Xu Yi squatted on the ground to check.
Without saying a word, Hunter chased in the direction of the footprints.
The cave was surrounded by large and small tunnels. They followed the footprints and entered one of the tunnels. The golden wind chime on Hunter's body suddenly shook violently.
Xu Yi glanced at Hunter, who turned paler and seemed to have realized something.
Hunter walked faster and faster, almost running.
There were still many forks ahead, so Hunter followed the instructions of the golden wind chime and moved forward silently. Xu Yi observed the footprints on the ground, and the path the footprints pointed was consistent with the golden wind chime.
The golden wind chime suddenly rang non-stop, and both of them stopped. Xu Yi turned off the strong flashlight because it was no longer needed for the time being.
A cave appeared in front of me again, smaller than the previous one. There were densely packed kerosene lamps hanging on the wall, illuminating the cave.
The walls of the cave were dug into large and small squares, and puppets of different shapes were placed in the squares. One of the puppets Xu Yi had seen before was the same puppet that attacked Hunter and Laura.
Xu Yi roughly counted the number of puppets. If nothing else happened, all of Mary Xiao's puppets were here.
Mary Xiao’s base camp was found!
Hunter's pupils suddenly shrank and he stared upward. The ropes above were intertwined with each other, and a figure was hung there.
"Laura!" Hunter yelled urgently.
No one answered him, Laura's body swayed along with the rope, and he didn't know whether he was unconscious or dead.
Hunter was so anxious that he walked straight towards Laura.
"Be careful!" Xu Yi warned and walked over.
The kerosene lamp on the wall suddenly swayed, and the flame flickered. Xu Yi quickly turned on the strong flashlight, making the whole space brighter. There were puppets on both sides of the road, and
they walked forward surrounded by puppets.
The sound of "creaking" was heard, and the puppet's head rotated along with their footsteps. Xu Yi felt the puppet's gaze, and the hairs on his body stood up one by one.
Hunter's face was even more pale. If Laura hadn't been waiting for him in front, he might have started to retreat.
The mouths of all the puppets suddenly began to open and close, colliding constantly, making a "thumping" sound, as if they were laughing loudly.
"Be careful!" Xu Yi shouted, and he felt a surge of cold coming, like a tsunami that was about to engulf them.
All the puppets opened their mouths as wide as possible, and long bloody tongues spurted out from their mouths, piercing them like spears.
Xu Yi felt a familiar wave. He had already tried it once when he was in the hotel before. It was a fear aura unique to Mary Xiao.
There was only one puppet before, but now there are dozens. The effect has been enhanced several times, and Xu Yi's heart beat uncontrollably.
Hunter's condition was extremely bad, his whole body was shaking uncontrollably, his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and it seemed that he would collapse due to a burst heart in the next second.
