Painted Skin

Chapter 16 Painted Skin

Wang Wu was even stronger than his father. After a scream was muffled in his mouth, he struggled backwards and tore the white beard on his face with both hands. He actually broke free. But the whole face skin was torn off, leaving only a bloody face. His eyes were almost blinded. He screamed like a headless fly and turned around in the room. He hit the wall with a thud and couldn't find the door. Then he stumbled and ran straight to the east room.

At this time, Li Wuxiang peeled off from Wang Peng. The white beards became thicker and denser after absorbing blood. His half human skin unfolded, the tentacles danced, and in an instant he flew into the air and chased after Wang Wu.

At this time, Wang Wu fell into the east room. Instead of looking for other self-defense tools, he groped and rushed to the wall on the side of the gable. When he touched a niche, he immediately screamed: "Kitchen God, Kitchen God, help me!"

Li Wuxiang also chased into the house at this time and saw the "Kitchen God" in the niche.

Xue Baoping's family also worshipped the "Kitchen God", but it was just a piece of yellowed paper due to time and smoke, and the image on it was blurred. The one in the niche of Wang Wu's house was a small gold-plated statue. A little man was sitting in the niche with a round and fat head. His eyes were slightly closed, as if he was resting his eyes, but his mouth was grinning to his ears, and there were fine and sharp teeth in his mouth, which looked incompatible with his golden body and very strange.

At this time, Wang Wu grabbed the statue of the Kitchen God with his bloody hands, held it with both hands, leaned his back against the wall and shook it towards Li Wuxiang: "Kitchen God, save me! Kitchen God, save me! Evil, evil!"

Li Wuxiang had no eyes, and everything he saw was based on those white beards, which made his vision a little blurry. When he looked at the surrounding scenery, it seemed that everything was hidden in the thick fog. But now when he looked at the statue in Wang Wu's hand, he felt that it was unusually clear, and the blood of Wang Wu on it seemed to gradually spread on it, and then turned into a red mist around it, as if it had become its cloak.

Li Wuxiang was slightly startled, and did not dare to rush over immediately. The next moment, he seemed to see the Kitchen God's eyes, which were originally slightly closed, suddenly opened and glared at him!

Palpitations! He felt familiar palpitations... just like the first time he felt the external evil in his body, the indescribable emptiness and grandeur!

Is this thing really useful? It works? ! Or is it some kind of external evil?

However, the next moment, the feeling disappeared, and the Kitchen God in Wang Wu's hand turned into a small gilded statue again, as hazy as the surrounding things. Li Wuxiang no longer thought about why, and immediately rushed towards Wang Wu.

The muddy sliding sound sounded again, and after a quarter of an hour, a figure slowly stood up on the window paper illuminated by the oil lamp. He raised his hand and touched his face, and then with a slight crackling sound, he tore off his head, rubbed it gently in his hand, and dipped some black ash from the oil lamp, and carefully traced it.

Finally, the head was pasted back, and Li Wuxiang in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

He once again had a human-like body, although it was only "looked". Before this, his perception of his own skin was very dull, just like a person's whole body was numb, and he could only barely control it, but could not do many fine movements. Now that the blood and blood of two people have fed it, Li Wuxiang even felt a slight but clear pain. He could also control the copper net to extend and grow, reconstructing it into the lower body, and instinctively bulging into an exoskeleton hidden under the leather clothes. Fine white tentacles filled the empty eye sockets, and instinctively merged into two eyeballs. If you don't look closely, it is no different from ordinary people. Let many white beards pass through the top of his head, and he has a full head of white hair again.

Li Wuxiang searched the Wang family's house naked for a while, found a set of clothes for himself, and hastily tied his hair. He felt that he should not scare the little girl like before. Then he found a piece of bag skin and packed all the gold and silver treasures he could find and some dried bacon. Then he tied all the hunting tools that the father and son had just brought on their backs, blew out the oil lamp, set up the statue of the Kitchen God, straightened the table and chairs, and immediately went out.

He was still a little weak, and walked with a deep and shallow pace. It took him a long time to slowly walk to the wall: "Hey!"

The little girl responded almost immediately: "Ah..."

As if she was afraid that her voice was too quiet, she threw another small stone in.

"Back off, don't hit you." Li Wuxiang heard two rustling sounds outside, and threw the bag containing gold, silver, and dried meat over. Then he found a wooden block in the yard, moved to the wall little by little, stood on it, and raised the heavy and long hunting fork to the top of the wall. When it dropped, he let go, and the hunting fork fell down and stuck into the soil, making only a slight thump. He also got the rest of the guys out according to the law, and then he climbed up the wall little by little. He saw Xue Baoping with his eyes wide open and his face up, he must be very nervous.

Even if he killed three evil people, it was not a comfortable thing to absorb their essence and blood and corrode their bones and flesh. However, sitting here now, what Li Wuxiang saw was a deep and vast darkness, a quiet town, and thin clouds above his head that were faintly fluorescent under the moonlight. He knew that he had finally completely escaped from the cage that had been hidden in the stove. Although this world was not friendly and warm at all, it was a real vast world after all and had not been destroyed.

He also had a decent body again, which meant that as long as he was careful enough, he would have more time to figure out what happened to him and master the magical power that he had now that was not in the world he came from.

This made him feel better, so he sat on the wall and smiled slightly: "How about it, do you think I look like an evil spirit or a human now?"

At this time, the thin clouds in the sky dispersed for a moment, and the moonlight sprinkled on him. Xue Baoping saw his face clearly and felt his heart skipped a beat at this moment.

She still remembered the terrifying and weird look of Li Wuxiang not long ago, but now she saw a thin and skinny figure sitting on the wall, against the moonlight, a teenager about the same age as herself. And his face, the face gently brushed by a few strands of white hair hanging from his forehead...

She felt that she had never seen such a beautiful thing and scene.

She exhaled lightly, not realizing that her heart had become light and warm, and her throat had become relaxed and unobstructed: "I think you are like a god."

Li Wuxiang jumped down from the wall, landed lightly on the ground, and smiled at her: "Then let's go home."

The second update will be at 8 o'clock in the morning.
