Courtyard House: Why is my time-travel experience so shabby?

Chapter 1098 Leeches

As the Kali statue suddenly trembled and emitted a shrill buzzing sound, its third vertical eye seemed to come alive, flickering with a faint light, bewitching and captivating.

Luo Li's eyes went dark in an instant, her brain froze, and the big move she was planning came to an abrupt halt.

The gray whale closest to the statue was in an even worse situation. It seemed as if it had been hit by an invisible sledgehammer. It fell to its knees with a thud, and the blue brick floor was cracked.

"puff!"

Faced with the clash of mental forces, Marsal spat out a mouthful of blood, his body staggered back, and he fell backwards almost uncontrollably.

With one blow, the four people with special abilities who attacked the temple were almost wiped out, and the only one who escaped unscathed was the leech.

He was fast and just managed to leave the hall at that moment, narrowly avoiding this large-scale, indiscriminate mental attack.

Yes, it was an indiscriminate mental attack, because in addition to Masar and his friends, the Kali believers in the hall were also attacked.

All the yellow-robed lamas were bleeding from all their orifices and fell limply to the ground. They were only breathing out but not breathing in, and it was obvious that they were dying.

The red-robed ascetics also had blood gushing out of their mouths and noses, and were staggering from side to side, unable to stand steadily. They were basically useless.

The three purple-robed lamas seemed to be in good order, but their faces turned pale and they looked visibly listless, probably because they were seriously injured.

Damn it, if you hurt the enemy by a thousand, you will lose eight hundred of your own. When they get ruthless, they don’t distinguish between friend or foe. This is the nature of Kaliism.

The strange vibrations emitted by the statue came and went quickly, disappearing in just a moment.

"Qiang~Qiang~"

However, almost without any interruption, a distant and crisp metal knocking sound was heard from the back hall of the hall, which sounded like the sound of a bronze chime.

Hearing this noise, the three old lamas in purple robes seemed to have received some instructions. Their eyes suddenly gleamed and they moved abruptly.

Even though they all look haggard and as if they are about to die at any moment, their movements are actually not slow at all, but rather frighteningly fast.

The three old men all appeared as shadows, their movements were identical and synchronized, as if they were one person.

Without touching the ground, they passed over the body of the yellow-robed lama, the dizzy red-robed lamas, and the kneeling gray whale, and rushed straight towards the fallen Masar.

The purpose is very clear, capture the leader first!

Even though this old man, Marsar, has weak mental power and a short control distance, seemingly useless, he still holds the C position among the four-person team of abilities.

If it weren't for him, they would have been wiped out by the red-robed lamas as soon as they entered the temple, let alone attacking the main hall and reaching the statue of Kali.

A moment later, the three purple-robed lamas broke through to about 10 meters in front of Masar and stopped almost at the same time.

They stretched out their skinny hands like chicken claws in tacit understanding, made a very strange hand seal, and chanted the strange spell again.

"What~"

"puff!"

At this moment, the purple-robed lama in the middle suddenly had his head explode like a watermelon.

It really exploded, and the part of his head above the neck disappeared in an instant, with blood and brain matter splattered everywhere.

With one person missing, the old lamas' joint chanting was naturally interrupted.

"boom!"

The gunshot arrived later than the bullet, more than 600 meters away.

In the pitch-black environment of the middle of the night, the one who can accurately shoot a headshot at such a long distance is undoubtedly the top sniper.

The sudden cold gunshot stunned the remaining two old lamas.

What the hell? There are cliffs and snow-capped mountains all around. Where the hell did this sharpshooter suddenly appear from?

But in that moment of distraction, the purple-robed lama on the left was also shot in the head.

At the same time, a blurry gray shadow suddenly passed by the side of the cautious purple-robed Lama on the right.

"Uh, uh~"

The old lama groaned unconsciously and raised his hands to cover his neck, but the next second, his old head tilted down.

Behead! It was the leech who made the move. He had a quick reaction and was even faster.

Although he didn't know who the person who shot him from behind was, he naturally wouldn't be polite when he saw such a godsend opportunity for a sneak attack.

"boom!"

When the last beheaded purple-robed lama fell to the ground, another bullet flew from a distance and hit Kali's third eye accurately.

The bullets used by the mysterious gunman are special dum-dum bullets from England, also known as the legendary shrapnel bullets. This thing has high damage, but poor penetration.

The bullet was embedded in the third eye of the Kali statue like a copper flower. Although it failed to penetrate it, it created tiny cracks around it.

At this moment, the red-robed Lama, who had partially regained consciousness, felt as if his life was grabbed by his finger when he saw this scene.

They screamed and rushed towards the nearest gray whale like crazy.

"call out!"

A fierce roar exploded, the leech smiled evilly, and instantly the sound turned into a gray shadow.

The leech circled around the gray whale like a ghost for several times, and all the red-robed lamas that pounced on it had their throats pierced, and fell to the ground in a twisted state.

"boom!"

At this moment, another bullet hit the place where the statue was hit just now.

This time, the sharpshooter hiding in the dark deliberately changed to a steel-core armor-piercing bullet, and the bullet went straight into Kali's third eye.

"Ow~"

A shrill wailing sound that was not like a human voice was faintly heard from the back hall of the palace. At the same time, a dark red and sticky liquid as dark as ink flowed out of the statue's third eye that was pierced.

As the wailing sounded, the remaining red-robed lamas went crazy instantly.

Their eyes instantly turned blood red, they shouted obscure spells, and launched suicide attacks without hesitation.

However, at this moment, Lori had already rushed into the hall, Gray Whale also stood up, and even Marsal staggered to sit up, not to mention the leeches who were red-eyed with killing intent.

Facing four top-notch ability users, a few dozen mad ascetics are simply offering themselves up to death!

After a while, the temple hall finally fell silent. Apart from the corpses and blood all over the ground, the only sound was the heavy breathing of Masar and his companions.

"Masal, what should we do now? Should we continue to push forward?"

Lori tore off a piece of her clothes, wiped the blood from her mouth and nose vigorously, and asked vaguely. In her eyes, there was fear and anxiety.

Things have gotten to this point, and it has become a situation of a fight to the death. She is afraid that these brain-dead lamas will get angry and kill her lover, Lei Bola, to vent their anger.

At this moment, Masar's face was pale, with dried blood stains on the corners of his mouth and nose. He was leaning against the base of a beam, staring straight at the statue of Kali with a bullet in his brow.

At this moment, the third eye of the statue has stopped bleeding.

But Marsal seemed to be possessed by evil spirits, in a daze, muttering something in a low voice, as if he didn't hear Lori's question at all.

If you get close enough, you can hear him repeating, "Why didn't I think of that? Why didn't I think of that?"

Seeing his behavior, Lori and Gray Whale exchanged glances quickly.

Although the gray whale had no self-healing ability, its skin was thick and tough, and it had recovered by more than half. It maintained a defensive posture, moved closer to Masar, and shouted loudly:

"Masar!"

Gray whales have extremely loud voices, and combined with the echo and sound amplification effects of the hall, it is almost like ringing a bell right next to your ear.

Marsal suddenly came back to his senses, covered his ears, and asked in a daze: "Oh, oh, Gray Whale, what's wrong?"

Gray Whale narrowed his eyes as big as copper bells and stared at him without blinking: "Feng Mo, what happened to you just now? It's like you were possessed by evil spirits."

Masar's eyes had regained clarity. He lifted up the corner of his clothes, wiped the blood off his face, and replied in a hoarse voice, "No, I was just distracted just now."

Gray Whale looked at him suspiciously: "What should we do now? Should we keep going?"

Masar waved his hand:

"No, the main fighting force of this temple has been crippled by us. Even Acharya (Vajra Dharma King) Shahrukh Ram was seriously injured. We can make some repairs before continuing."

"how do you know?"

Lori interrupted impatiently and asked. Marsal turned his head and glanced at her. As a shrewd man, he naturally understood her urgency in an instant.

Marsal didn't speak immediately. Instead, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit a cigarette, and took a long puff.

When Lori was about to explode, Marsal chuckled and explained with a little pride:

“Haha, Shah Rukh Ram is a mind controller, his ability should be similar to mine, or even weaker.

The reason why he was able to injure us all at once was because he used the power of external objects to amplify his mental strength."

Luo Li frowned: "External force?"

"Yeah, that's right."

  Masar pointed at the statue whose eyes had been blown out with his cigarette butt and continued to explain:

“He used special means to place his spiritual power on the Kali statue, which can amplify his abilities to the extreme.

But the statue was destroyed and he suffered a severe backlash. Even if he is not dead now, he is probably dying."

  Upon hearing this, before Lori could ask a question, Gray Whale got there first:

"Marsal, who fired the shot just now?"

Hearing this question, the corners of Marsal's mouth slightly raised, and a hint of pride that was hard to conceal appeared on his face.

  Slowly exhaled the smoke and whispered a name:

"leech."

This gunman who suddenly appeared to save the situation and had superb shooting skills could certainly not be Du Weiguo, but this guy was not an unknown person either.

Before Du Weiguo emerged as a rising star, Leech was the top assassin ranked number one in the dark world.

  At the same time, he is also a lone wolf killer who works for money. As long as the price is high enough, he can accept any commission and dare to assassinate anyone!

This Leech guy is very mysterious, even more mysterious than Du Weiguo.

No one knows his real name or experience, no one has even seen his true face, and even his nationality and ethnicity are unclear.

Currently, all we know about Leech is that he is a man, about 180 cm tall. In addition to his amazing sniping skills, he is also a person with special abilities, and his known ability is liquefaction.

Before, Leech had worked closely with Mina, the leader of the Masonic Noah Legion and the mermaid who was killed by Miss Hu.

When Du Weiguo was trapped on Skull Island and Noah's Legion launched a heavy night attack on Quiana, he had fought against the evil gods.

At that time in the dense forests of America, Leech blocked all the evil spirits with a single gun. Not only did he escape unscathed, he even suppressed them slightly.

You know, Quiana is the base camp of the evil gods.

Hanwen, Chunsheng, Du Tie, Du Nan, Du Lan and others are all top masters, and they cooperate well with each other. If they don't use the teleportation skill, even Du Weiguo will have to temporarily avoid the limelight.

"leech!"

Upon hearing this name, the gray whale's pupils suddenly contracted, showing great surprise. Even Lori's eyes widened:

"Martal, you really spent a lot of money this time. You even invited Leech, a rare vampire."

Leeches are notoriously expensive.

The most important thing is that he acts extremely cautiously, always hides himself well, and always contacts business through brokers.

Moreover, he communicated with the brokers through radio, changed the password regularly, and never showed up in person.

No matter how hard Du Weiguo tried, he couldn't find even a trace of him.

But everyone has weaknesses, and so do leeches. This guy is obsessed with money, and the price he offers for assassination is ridiculously high. As long as the money is enough, there is no one he dares not to touch.

This time, the reason why Leech accepted Marsal's commission was because he had a mortal feud with Du Weiguo.

It is estimated that sooner or later we will have to face each other to the death, so we might as well take the opportunity to kill him and make a lot of money.

Besides, what Marsal gave this time was really too much, higher than the commission Du Weiguo paid when he hired the Brotherhood to assassinate Suano.

However, Leech was indeed a cautious guy, as he had arrived in Siliguri a few days ago.

Then he hid in the snow-capped mountains near the temple, never showing up to join Masar and the others, and just watched from afar.

"Whoo~"

  Masar exhaled his last puff of smoke, flicked the cigarette butt into the pool of blood on the ground, smiled bitterly and nodded, his tone somewhat melancholy:

"Yeah, leeches are really expensive, extremely expensive, and his rescue this time was not part of the agreement, so I guess he will have to rip me off again."

  After taking a breath, a gleam flashed in Masar's eyes, and he suddenly changed the subject:

"But it's worth it. As long as I can kill the damned evil god, I can make my money back in one go! Hey, by then, I'll also have to get a God of Light~~"

  Luo Li was extremely angry when she heard this and coldly interrupted his fantasy:

"Okay, Masar, wipe your saliva and put away your sweet dreams. We still have people to save, not here to accompany you in your dreams."

Damn it, you damn bitch, when I kill the evil spirit, I will skin you alive and you will be unable to live or die.

Marsal's patience with Loli has reached its limit. A hint of hidden viciousness flashed in his eyes, and he thought viciously in his heart.

  But there was no expression on his face. He just straightened up with some effort and replied calmly:

"Okay, let's move on. Let's quickly get rid of this damn temple and rescue Reborah."

At dawn, the sky is about to brighten, Himalayas, eastern part of the southern slope.

The magnificent Bhadrapur Temple suddenly caught fire. The huge steam rising from the fire soon triggered an avalanche, completely burying the temple.

This notorious cult den in the dark world has since vanished into thin air and been lost in history.

The most ridiculous thing is that the one who destroyed them was none other than Masar, who was also the leader of a cult. One can only sigh that the world is unpredictable.

At the foot of the snow-capped mountains, Masar and his companions were staggering along. At the moment, they were not in good condition.

Marsal's face was pale and his steps were heavy, as if he was walking in a quagmire. He had to put all his strength into every step and coughed from time to time.

The gray whale was in good condition, but his clothes were ragged and his face showed obvious fatigue. He was dragging a huge snow sled behind him and had leeches on his shoulders.

But at this moment, the leech was like a dead fish and had lost consciousness.

Lori was also seriously injured and staggered, but she managed to carry a tall and thin man who was skinny and had his eyes closed.

This man is Rebora, nicknamed Magneto.

He was hypnotized by the Kali followers, and after his usefulness was squeezed out, he was put into a state of suspended animation for a long time, and even his body functions had deteriorated.

In this battle, Marsal and his men won a complete victory, but it was also a pyrrhic victory.

Masar's estimation was correct. The temple's Acharya Shahrukh Ram was indeed seriously injured by the backlash. When they rushed over, he had even lost his ability to move.

However, the reason why he couldn't move was because the old man was paralyzed.

There is no other way. No matter how powerful a person is, he cannot resist the passage of time. Putting his spirit on the statue is also a helpless act.

A few hundred meters behind Masar and the others in the snowfield, there was a blurry figure with light, calm and rhythmic steps. It was naturally the mysterious leech.

He was wearing a long black cloak similar to Masar's, and a mask, revealing only a pair of sparkling eyes.

If Du Weiguo was present, with his extraordinary eyesight, he would be able to determine the approximate race of the leeches at a glance even without the ability to see through things.

This guy's pupils are a very special color, gray-green.

Such eyeballs are unlikely to be found in yellow people. They are mostly found in the area where the Middle East and West Asia meet. Although not absolute, they are common in places like Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

When they had completely left the snow-capped mountains, in front of a leeward col, Masar stopped. His voice was hoarse and weak:

"Let's take a break here and have something to eat."

A moment later, a bonfire was lit, with several golden pots hung above it, all of which were scraped from the temple.

There was no cash in the temple, but there were a lot of gold and silver utensils. In accordance with the principle that a thief should take away nothing, all the gold utensils were taken away by Masar and his men.
