Chapter 440

"Oh, Priest!"

Xia De hurriedly walked up, wanting to help Priest Priest Ao Gu Si treat it, but the old man frowned and shook his head:

"It's okay."

He hummed, and the white light in his palm slowly emerged. The holy white light just shone on Xia De's side, making him feel that his soul seemed to have been baptized. That light deeply attracted Xia De. He opened his eyes wide, because the enlightenment accumulated by reading 【The Crazy Light Chaser】 was slowly enriching, but this time it was not enough to form a new spirit rune.

In the light, Priest Ao Gu Si's arm recovered bit by bit, and the dagger also trembled because of this white light, and was eventually completely suppressed by the white light.

"It seems I'm not that old yet."

Priest Priest Ao Gu Si sighed in a low voice, took off the holy emblem from his chest, stuck it on the dagger, and then prayed in a low voice, stopping only after a long while:

"Is there any container? Can it hold this?"

He asked Xia De.

"Yes."

Xia De recovered from the disappearing light, touched a pile of small toys in his pocket, restored one of the wooden boxes, and handed it to the priest.

The priest pressed the holy emblem on the dagger, tied it with red thread, and carefully put it into the box. Then, he took out a piece of blue chalk, drew intersecting continuous diagonal lines on the six sides of the box, and then wrote the exorcism symbols commonly used by the Dawn Church in the blank areas between the diagonal lines.

Letting Xia De hold the box, the priest pressed one hand on the box, closed his eyes again, prayed in a low voice in the night wind of the cemetery, and then ended the whole process.

Xia De had opened his eyes to the world; professionals really had a set of methods.

"Priest, since this is not a relic, then what is this? An alchemical item?"

Xia De asked curiously. The priest handed the box to Xia De for safekeeping, and then watched the corpse burning fiercely on the ground with Xia De. The flames of the burning fire oil should have been orange-red, but at this moment they showed an eerie green color.

Rolling black smoke emerged from the corpse. Xia De was very glad that they were in an open outdoor area now, and both he and the priest were standing upwind, otherwise this smell would really be enough to be fatal.

"I'm also not sure what this is, but hiding weapons by desecrating corpses is definitely very evil."

The two stood there, watching the corpse burn. Xia De also looked up at the cat on the tree. The cat was lying on the trunk in a leisurely manner. Finding Xia De looking up at it, it also meowed in a low voice to respond.

Xia De realized that this was the first time he saw Mia climb a tree. This cat was much more agile than he thought.

"In a while, after the flames go out, we will transfer the corpse back to the coffin. I want to perform an additional exorcism ritual to prevent other things from happening."

The priest ordered.

"The corpse has become like this, can there still be other things?"

Xia De asked in surprise, and the priest popularized basic knowledge to him:

"To prevent this charred corpse from polluting other corpses in the cemetery. We don't want to hear the news of a corpse riot in the nameless cemetery outside the city in a few weeks."

While speaking, the priest couldn't help but sigh:

"One must be cautious in doing things. Young people often don't understand this truth."

The abnormal green flames burned for a full twenty minutes before going out, but these flames didn't burn the corpse into charcoal, but instead made the rotted corpse become fresh, and even the wounds kicked by Priest Priest Ao Gu Si and the cracks split by Xia De healed.

The woman's voice in his ear was whispering, prompting the appearance of the 【Whisper】 element. But the priest's "other me" didn't seem to prompt the 【Whisper】 element. The old man suddenly frowned:

"Detective, look!"

When Xia De looked at the corpse's hands, he was immediately stunned, because the two hands were placed in front of the chest, tightly holding the black metal dagger. And the source of the 【Whisper】 element was not the dagger that reappeared, but the lying corpse.

The traces of elements were very weak, not like a relic, but like the traces left by a relic.

Xia De immediately looked at the box he was holding.

"Open it."

The priest said.

After opening the box, it was indeed empty inside. But this box hadn't left Xia De's hand for a moment, and the woman's voice in Xia De's ear hadn't reminded him of anything abnormal.

"This is very interesting."

The priest nodded to Xia De, and Xia De dropped the box and threw the cards again. Then, as expected, the relatively fresh corpse held the dagger again and pierced the cards.

It crawled up from the grave slowly. Although it was closer to Xia De, it still turned and rushed towards Priest Priest Ao Gu Si.

Because of the lesson from last time, the priest didn't lift his leg to kick after dodging. His right index finger drew an arc in the air and then pointed at the corpse's head:

"Thunder!"

After a shocking explosion, the thunderbolt broke through the air and shot towards the corpse. Just, the corpse actually raised its hand and used the dagger to block the thunderbolt.

In the dark night, it raised its hand again to stab at Priest Priest Ao Gu Si. The priest nimbly turned sideways, then stepped on the ground with his right foot and slammed into it, making the corpse tilt backwards:

"Detective!"

"Coming!"

Xia De held the sword with both hands again and slashed down behind the corpse, but the corpse actually turned and raised its hand. The short dagger without any trace of elements blocked Xia De's two-handed greatsword. The corpse's physical strength was very strong.

The corpse's right hand shook, and the strange force-exerting technique made Xia De stagger backwards. His wrists were numb, but he quickly recovered because of his strong physical fitness.

Just, the corpse still didn't take the initiative to attack Xia De, who had revealed a flaw, but turned to deal with Priest Priest Ao Gu Si again.

"Priest, do you really have no grudge against it?"

"Is this the time to joke?"

The old man asked dissatisfiedly, and the life ring appeared behind him. He said loudly to Xia De:

"I can still solve this little trouble. Retreat quickly, and take your cat as far away as possible."

"No problem!"

Priest Priest Ao Gu Si probably prepared a very powerful move, so Xia De took a step and moved ten meters out of thin air, reached out to greet the cat that jumped down from the tree, and then continued to run forward.

The clear voice of Priest Priest Ao Gu Si came from behind:

"Corpse Explosion Technique!"

Boom~

The dull sound almost made the ground tremble. Xia De, who fell to the ground and rolled into a ball with the cat, looked at the gravedigger's hut with worry, and then turned to look back.

When he returned to the old man wearing the clergyman's robe, there was a deep pit still emitting black smoke in front of him. Xia De held the cat that was frightened by the explosion and couldn't believe that the old man in front of him had blown a corpse to pieces:

"Do all believers of the God of Light and Shadow learn 【Corpse Explosion Technique】?"

This didn't sound like a sorcery that a positive character should learn at all.

"I am not a Ring Warlock of the church, and besides, power is not divided into justice and evil."

Priest Priest Ao Gu Si said in a low voice. Xia De caught a glimpse of the life ring behind him, and the spirit rune that just lit up was 【Corpse】. This kind of spirit rune didn't look like something that a pious believer of the true god like Priest Priest Ao Gu Si could possess.

The smoke and dust of the explosion gradually subsided, and in the deep pit produced by the explosion, the scalp-numbing rustling sound gradually sounded. In the smoke and dust with a burnt smell, Xia De, holding the cat, and the priest saw that the fresh corpse, which looked like it had just been buried, crawled out from under the deep pit again.

It now not only looked more like a human on the outside, but its movements were also becoming more agile, and it still rushed directly towards Priest Priest Ao Gu Si instead of Xia De.
