Princess, I am really a good person

Chapter 25 Ambush
  When I walked out of the house, the sky outside was just bright, the air was humid, and mist lingered among the trees.

This hut is on a hill, and under the hill are rows of tombstones.

Zhou Mingyi took out the Heart Stealer Necklace. Now his suspicion was confirmed. These cultists are very afraid of such things with high status. If they can use them, he will have one more trump card.
  "But hopefully it won't be used."

He took a deep breath and put away the necklace.

After dawn, they packed up their things, confirmed the route, and continued on their way.

Because she was worried that her whereabouts had been exposed, she did not go directly to the main road, but found a remote road to move forward. Although Alyssa's physical strength was not bad, she was still an ordinary person after all. Zhou Mingyi and Shana were both engravers. It would be difficult for her to keep up with their speed on foot.

During a journey of more than 40 kilometers, I took two breaks for her, and the mountain road was rugged, so I finally arrived at the destination in the evening.

The Gist Legion's camp is located in a long and narrow valley. It is a large mine surrounded by mines being mined. There are also several old mine cars parked at the foot of the mountain.

"Remember, after contacting them, I will communicate with them. Don't say anything unless there are special circumstances." Zhou Mingyi said to the two girls.

"Especially you, Your Highness, even if they don't cooperate with the Black Phoenix, I can't guarantee that they have no ill intentions towards you. There is no need to reveal your identity."

"I know." Alyssa nodded.

They walked toward the mine and came to the gate that was surrounded.

There was only one sentry. He watched Zhou Mingyi and the others walking over, but there was no reaction and he stood there dull.

Until Zhou Mingyi came to him and handed over the letter.

"I got the news and knew you were coming," the sentry twitched at him.

"I got the news." Zhou Mingyi's first thought was that Mattis had sent a message to Haven, and he didn't have much thought about it.

The sentry opened the gate and led them inside.

The entire mining area was quiet, with not a single person in sight.

"Where are you people here? Are you so quiet?" Zhou Mingyi asked.

"Oh, today is a holiday, and they are all in the casino at this time." The sentry replied.

"It's right in front. There's everything there, including a strip club!" The sentry pointed to the warehouse-like building in front of him, where he was taking them.

But Zhou Mingyi felt a little uneasy and slowed down slightly.

With the command turned on, he began to notice something was wrong. The sorting belt was filled with unsorted ores, a pair of pokers were scattered on the wooden box, the wine bottle was only half drunk, and only cigarette butts fell. Half smoked.

It was as if something suddenly happened and everyone put down what they were doing and left immediately. There was a weird atmosphere everywhere, including this sentry, which had an unreal quality.

He stopped while walking and stopped Sana and Alyssa beside him.

"What's wrong? Let's go." The sentry looked back at him.

"You just left like this, don't you need to guard the door?" Zhou Mingyi said, staring at him closely.

"Ah, that." The sentry grinned.

"It won't hurt if I leave for a while. There are very few people here."

"Oh, then you usually have a lot of free time at work," Zhou Mingyi said.

"Yes, very leisurely." said the sentry.

"By the way, how are you, Haven, feeling today? Are you easy to talk to?"

"Don't worry, he is in a good mood today."

"Really? Then I'll be relieved."

Zhou Mingyi chuckled, then quickly pulled out his pistol and shot the sentry in front of him in the head.

The opponent's head tilted back and he fell backwards. "I'm so polite that I'm embarrassed." Zhou Mingyi said to the body that fell to the ground.

This is a place where people like them can calmly tell you this and that. If it’s no problem, then there really is a ghost.

The fallen body suddenly stood up straight. There was a black bullet hole on the sentry's forehead, but there was no blood, and his eyes were even wide open.

"Let's go!" Zhou Mingyi realized something was wrong, immediately took Alyssa's hand, turned around and ran away.

The sentry's body twitched, melted like butter, and turned into a pool of squirming black mucus. The mucus spit out a corroded human head, which could vaguely be seen as the sentry's head just now.

The dark slime twitched and swam towards them like a snake on the ground.

Its speed was extremely fast, and it was already behind them in a few seconds. Its body shrank and a projectile shot towards them.

"Get away!"

Zhou Mingyi's command ability noticed the attack immediately, pushed Shana and Alyssa away, then twisted and fired several shots at the black slime.

All the bullets hit it, but it only paused twice, and all the bullets were swallowed by its body.

It wrapped around Zhou Mingyi's body like an octopus, trying to get into Zhou Mingyi's mouth.

"Owner!"

"Zhou Mingyi!"

Upon seeing this, Zana and Alyssa wanted to come to help, but the squirming slime separated part of its body and stretched out towards them.

"Don't come here!" Zhou Mingyi roared, almost letting it get into his mouth.

He quickly took out the dagger from his waist and stabbed it, but the next moment the blade was entangled in its squirming body, and he couldn't even pull it out.

"Fuck your grandma, do you like to swallow things?"

Zhou Mingyi took out the Heart Stealer necklace from his lining pocket and stuffed it directly into the slimy body.

With a piercing neigh, the black mucus suddenly bounced off Zhou Mingyi's body. His limp body kept twitching and emitting white smoke. In less than ten seconds, it lay on the ground without any movement. It begins to harden and becomes like cement.

Zhou Mingyi crushed its body with one foot and took out the Heart Stealer necklace.

"It really works."

He knew what this black slime was, a creation of the black phoenix Bishop Zaru, a dead soul.

Imprinters who have reached the fourth level will have a certain probability of having their own creations, just like this black slime, which has unique effects and can be released as long as the spiritual power is sufficient.

Bishop Zaru's creation, the dead soul, this kind of wriggling slime, each has the ability to think independently in the setting, and can change into the appearance of others after devouring other people's bodies.

He was almost swallowed up and turned into a puppet just now.

If this kind of thing appears here, it means
  The chief bishop of the Black Phoenix came in person.

"Come on!"

Zhou Mingyi couldn't think too much and they ran quickly towards the door.

In an instant, the three of them felt that their thoughts were freezing, their movements became irresistibly slow, and their movements of hands and feet slowed down.

"Stagnation Trap!"

This kind of spell trap that relies on formations has almost no warning before being triggered, and can immediately have an effect on targets that enter the range.

The real effect of the stagnation trap is that the target who enters can hardly move or even think. They can still move now. There is a high probability that they are still on the edge of the trap, but even so they are still affected.
