Bloody hell …
Tang Hao clenched his teeth and endured the pain in his arm. Fortunately, he had struck off the last eyeball when he sheathed his sword. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
However, it was not the time to rejoice. Tang Hao's right arm was injured, and he could no longer fight. The Thousand-eyed Centipede, on the other hand, was unharmed. Cracks appeared on its black outer shell, and green light patterns flowed out like mercury. At the same time, the huge body charged at Tang Hao again.
The more powerful the demon, the more powerful its regenerative ability. It was obvious that although the Thousand-Eyed Centipede used its eyes as a weapon, it could regenerate them infinitely. If it were to launch another round of attacks like before, Tang Hao's life would probably end there and then.
Without hesitation, Tang Hao chanted in his mind, and a thick book appeared in his left hand.
"I'm sorry, Patchouli. If there's a chance in the future, I'll return you a Xinhua dictionary!"
As he spoke, Tang Hao fiercely tossed the book in his hand away.
Smack!
Knowledge was power. The book hit the Thousand-eyed Centipede's head. The pages opened, and the pages flew. In an instant, they turned into endless streams of light that wrapped around the centipede's huge body. The latter screamed and tried to rush out, but other than dimming the streams of light, it had no effect at all.
Furthermore, Patrice's magical artifact wasn't only capable of protection. Due to the fact that enchantments possessed both defensive and sealing capabilities, just by changing the formula slightly, a defensive enchantment could be converted into a sealing enchantment. Patchouli had already written the conversion formula in the magic book, and set it to a mode where even a fool with zero magical talent could easily convert it. This foresight saved Tang Hao's life at the critical moment.
However, magical tools were consumables. A magic book like this could only store a limited amount of magical power, and the barrier could not last forever. The gradually dimming streams of light were enough to show that the Thousand-eyed Centipede would break free in half an hour at most.
Therefore, the moment the barrier opened, Tang Hao ran into the distance.
After the battle just now, the effects of the potion had been greatly consumed. He did not have much time left. He had to reach the shrine as soon as possible. Only there, he would not be attacked by the monsters.
After running for a while, Tang Hao looked down at his right arm again. He was shocked to see that one-third of the green eyeball had sunk into his arm. Not only was the pain unbearable, but even the skin around it had turned dark red, as if it had been burnt.
This was An Affliction!
Demons, most of them were formed by the accumulation of obsessions and curses. Regardless of whether it was humans or gods, they were all unclean beings. If it was just a normal touch, it would be fine, but if one was bitten or stabbed, one would be infected with Noxious just like this.
The scariest thing about An Affliction was that once it infected the entire body, they would cross the taboo line and would eventually degenerate into a demon. In the anime, even powerful Einherjars like Night God of War and Vairocana Heaven had the experience of being tortured by An Wu to the point that they wished they were dead.
This thing had to be eliminated!
Tang Hao made up his mind and stretched out his left hand to grab the green eyeball. The moment it came into contact with his right arm, his left hand was immediately stained with the Invulnerable Poison. But at this moment, he could not care so much. Hardening his heart, Tang Hao directly pinched the eyeball and pulled it out from his flesh and blood.
"Ah!!!"
Pain, pain, pain, pain …
The eyeball had taken root in his flesh. When Tang Hao pulled it out by force, it was equivalent to tearing a piece of flesh off his body. In an instant, he was in so much pain that tears fell from his eyes.
Fortunately, the spread of An Wu's poison had finally been suppressed. Moreover, the level of An Wu's poison was not enough to threaten his life. As long as he spent some time and used his spiritual energy, he would be able to get rid of it. The only thing that remained was the bloody wound on his right arm. It looked a little terrifying.
"Damn it, Thousand-Eyed Centipede. I will remember this!"
Tang Hao gritted his teeth and continued to walk forward. Finally, he arrived at the shrine before the medicine was completely used up. Smelling the faint fragrance of plums in the air, his tense nerves immediately relaxed. Then, his legs gave way and he collapsed on top of the money box.
"Hey, are you okay?"
"I'm … I'm fine …" Tang Hao shook his head with difficulty. At this moment, he was completely exhausted. Even talking was extremely difficult. He just wanted to have a good sleep. However, he had no choice but to remove the An Affliction from his body.
"Do you want me to send you some medicine? Although Patchouli and I have run out of times, Zi and Jue's times are still there, "Kaguya said.
Group file transfer, other than the interference limit, there was also a limit to the number of times. Each group member could only transfer once in each world. For example, if Kaguya gave the Herculean Pill, and Patchouli gave him the magic book, the two of them could no longer support Tang Hao … Of course, if it was something like food, which was not mysterious at all, then it was not within the scope of the restrictions. They could transfer as many as they wanted.
Tang Hao was about to nod his head when suddenly, a figure flashed in front of him.
"You are really free. Every day, you come to my shrine to ask for shelter. You even brought something like An Affliction here. If it wasn't for the fact that we are not fated, I would have thrown you out long ago."
The person who spoke was an old man in palace clothes. It was the Kami.
Tang Hao tilted his head and grinned.
"Phew …" The Kami exhaled, a helpless look on his face. "Mei Yu."
"Yes." The black-haired woman dressed in a witch costume walked in front of Tang Hao and muttered some words. Suddenly, a gentle and fragrant power fell on Tang Hao's body. Then, the An Affliction on his left and right arm dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Fortunately, the An Affliction you were infected with was very light. If it was more serious, I would not be able to do anything." Then, Mei Yu retracted her power and slowly stepped back.
"Thank you." Tang Hao nodded gratefully at her. Perhaps it was because An Wutong had been removed, but he felt that his body was no longer as weak as before. Turning his head, he was shocked to find that even the wound on his right arm had healed.
Flesh regeneration? A withered tree coming back to life?
Tang Hao was stunned. He looked at Mei Yu and asked, "You are not a divine artifact?"
A divine artifact could remove An Affliction, but this kind of thing did not seem to be possible, right?
Mei Yu smiled. "I am the Plum Tree Spirit."
"I see."
Then, Mei Yu retreated to the side. The Kami walked up and looked at Tang Hao. He asked, "Now that things have come to this, do you still not intend to give up?"
Tang Hao knew what the Kami was referring to. He shook his head and smiled. "I do not intend to give up halfway."
"But if you continue, the danger you will encounter will not be as simple as today. The Karma accumulated on your body will make it difficult for you to move an inch."
Karma? Karma again!
Tang Hao's mind stirred. He hurriedly asked, "What is Karma?"
