415: Out of control! Out of control one after another.
At the crucial moment, the Scarlet Witch rushed in front of Gu Qinghan and opened a blood shield to block the Bone Demon's attack.
At the same time, the Guardian's voice rang out in Gu Qinghan's mind, carrying a hint of amusement:
"I don't know whether to say your luck is good or bad, encountering the existence I mentioned so quickly.
Go for it, I look forward to your performance."
Afterward, the voice gradually fell silent, leaving only Gu Qinghan's own heartbeat.
The Bone Demon's sudden attack just now truly startled him.
The Bone Demon seemed to have returned to normal at this moment, clutching his weapon and looking around frantically.
"Master, I didn't attack voluntarily just now; I lost control of my body!"
After the Bone Demon confirmed there were no enemies around him, he immediately looked toward Gu Qinghan.
But just then, the Scarlet Witch, who had originally shielded Gu Qinghan from the blow, suddenly turned around and lunged at him.
The Bone Demon immediately stomped his foot, trapping the Scarlet Witch with a bone cage.
It was at this moment that the Scarlet Witch crashed into the bone cage, shouting in distress:
"I can't control my body either! Master, be careful!"
A few seconds later, her outstretched arm suddenly dropped, seemingly having returned to normal.
And this time, Gu Qinghan personally saw a black aura flow down the Scarlet Witch's body and return to the ground.
"That thing went back into the ground!"
Gu Qinghan shouted loudly and immediately threw a Blood Bomb toward the direction where the black aura had vanished.
A massive explosion occurred, forcing the Scarlet Witch back several steps.
At the same time, the Death Qi on the ground was lifted by the blast wave, revealing the equally pitch-black surface beneath.
Strangely, the ground, though blasted into a large pit, quickly returned to its original state, like an incredibly tough jelly.
The dispersed Death Qi surged back, but Gu Qinghan caught sight of a rapidly shrinking black shadow.
"It's over there!"
He immediately shouted, simultaneously summoning his Skeletons to unleash hundreds of Ice Spike Balls toward that location.
The power of the Ice Spike Balls was not great, but they could cover the largest possible area.
Under this widespread firepower, the Death Qi resting on the ground was instantly shot through with many holes.
However, the ice spikes fired from the Ice Spike Balls in one specific area were repelled by a mysterious force.
"You two go ahead, don't get controlled again."
Hearing Gu Qinghan's command, the Bone Demon and the Witch instantly rushed out.
Gu Qinghan also had his Skeletons temporarily hold back, watching the situation unfold there.
The Scarlet Witch first cast a large blood-colored net, covering a wide area.
Afterward, Gu Qinghan saw a mass of black liquid seep out through the gaps in the blood net.
The Bone Demon followed closely behind, gripping his dagger in a reverse grip, and charged toward the mass of liquid.
But the originally razor-sharp bone knife seemed ineffective against this enemy; moreover, the black liquid, as if alive, began crawling up the Bone Demon's body.
Instantly, the Bone Demon's body stiffened.
The black liquid rapidly melted into the Bone Demon's body, and immediately after, the Bone Demon turned and charged toward the Scarlet Witch.
"Master, I can't control myself!"
The Bone Demon communicated with Gu Qinghan through their mental link, but he was already engaged in battle with the Scarlet Witch.
Fortunately, both of their strengths were currently suppressed somewhat by Gu Qinghan's influence, making the fight seem evenly matched.
Gu Qinghan watched the battle between the two, while the surrounding Skeletons remained inactive under his control.
That black liquid was truly bizarre; it seemed capable of possessing a host directly and controlling their actions.
If he were to shatter the Bone Demon with full force right now, he might be able to kill the opponent.
But if he did that, Gu Qinghan would lose a subordinate with outstanding offensive capabilities.
This was not worthwhile; at least for the moment, Gu Qinghan would not choose this path.
"The Guardian definitely wouldn't harm me. It also wants me to become stronger so I can protect the Netherworld well.
Therefore, I must be able to resolve the current situation; I just haven't thought of it yet."
Gu Qinghan forced himself to calm down, watching the fierce battle over there and sinking into contemplation.
Both sides were strong, and neither held back their moves.
After all, the Bone Demon was currently controlled, making him technically an enemy.
The Scarlet Witch, in order to protect Gu Qinghan, had no reason not to fight with all her strength, even if it meant killing the Bone Demon.
Meanwhile, the human-shaped figures condensed from Death Qi surrounded them again, forcing Gu Qinghan to send his Skeletons and undead minions to deal with them.
After all, these undead and Skeletons were too weak compared to the Bone Demon and the Witch; if they joined the fight, they could easily be caught in the crossfire.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck, and Gu Qinghan felt he had grasped a certain line of thought.
"The Guardian heard my plan and brought me here, so this existence must be able to help me in the great battle later on.
Facing the giant sea beasts, this bizarre black liquid should also be able to control their bodies... which means this guy's strength changes according to the host's strength!"
Gu Qinghan's eyes grew brighter; he had already thought of a solution!
In the area where the Bone Demon and the Scarlet Witch were fighting, two gigantic bone hands suddenly appeared.
One of the arms held a shield, while the other arm reached out to grab the Bone Demon.
Caught off guard, the Bone Demon's dagger smashed into the giant bone shield, immediately making a crisp sound.
At the same time, the bone hand pressed the Bone Demon to the ground as if catching a grasshopper.
The Scarlet Witch charged toward them, blood aura swirling around her; she clearly intended to deliver a heavy blow to the Bone Demon.
But just then, the Bone Demon suddenly shouted loudly: "Don't come over!"
At the same time, a black shadow suddenly burst from the suppressed Bone Demon's body and shot toward the Scarlet Witch.
However, the Scarlet Witch showed no sign of panic at this moment, instead revealing a cold smile.
The next moment, a white shadow rushed over from the side, blocking the Scarlet Witch just in the nick of time.
That was a Skeleton Gu Qinghan had sent out earlier, and its profession had already changed to Shadow Spear Skeleton!
At this moment, the black liquid plastered itself directly onto the Shadow Spear Skeleton, but it did not immediately bore inside.
The mass of liquid struggled, trying to continue rushing toward the Scarlet Witch's body.
But the Scarlet Witch had already retreated, giving it no opportunity whatsoever.
Before she charged forward, Gu Qinghan had mentally notified her to act as bait to lure out the black liquid.
Although she somewhat disapproved of this action, she still obeyed Gu Qinghan's command unconditionally.
Subsequently, the appearance of the black liquid, the timely interception by the Shadow Spear Skeleton, and the perfect timing control all astonished the Scarlet Witch.
It seemed that this kind of battle was much more interesting than the simple slaughter she had experienced before.
The next moment, Gu Qinghan pointed toward the area, the smile on his lips growing wider: "Bone Tomb!"
Across this black land, a striking patch of white suddenly appeared.
