A Guest in a Ghost House

Chapter 520: Horror in the volcano

Views:

"What danger?" I subconsciously asked, and it was only after the words came out that I realized that the Beetle couldn't understand my words at all.

But from the Beetle's non-stop repetition, I also understand that there is indeed some danger hidden here.

Looking at the mother plant that was close at hand, I simply comforted the beetle and walked towards the mother plant.

My task is very simple, I just need to destroy the mother plant, and the traps around the mother plant have all been destroyed by the beetles. I am only one step away from victory.

As I approached step by step, the Yin Qi on my body began to surge. Under the influence of the huge Yin Qi, the leaves on the mother plant began to wither and yellow quickly, and the flowers became a little downcast.

I reached out and grabbed a leaf, and the Yin Qi in my body was injected quickly.

The entire mother plant began to wither rapidly.

At the same time, the content of the Beetle's speech also changed, leaving only one word, which was repeated constantly: 'escape'.

Beetle's words are believable. I increased the output of Yin Qi, and the leaves and flowers on the mother plant soon turned yellow and began to fall one by one.

At this moment, there was a sudden weak vibration on the platform. The Beetle seemed to be frightened by something, curled up, and trembled slightly.

Could it be that there are traps on the platform that I haven't discovered? I looked around while quickly inputting Yin Qi.

The roots of the mother plant are more tenacious than I imagined. After my yin energy entered the roots, there was a faint force of resistance.

The vibration under my feet is getting bigger and bigger. I understand that I can't waste any more time.

I also began to feel a huge coercion, as if there was some terrifying existence that was about to come out.

I picked up the Soul Gathering Banner and waved it quickly, summoning several ghosts to take my place.

Thinking about it, I still felt that I was not at ease, so I released Migui again and asked it to start digging the root system of the mother plant from the cliff.

I took the beetle, turned into a cloud of black mist, and flew upwards quickly.

Under my call, Guan Hai hesitated for a moment, and instead of following, rushed towards the mother plant.

"What are you doing?" I yelled anxiously.

The coercion from below is getting stronger and stronger, I don't believe Guan Hai doesn't feel it.

Guan Hai quickly appeared in front of the mother plant, and together with the ghost I summoned, began to inject Yin Qi into the mother plant.

While typing, Guan Hai shouted loudly: "Leader, hurry up."

I understand that Guan Hai, as a former soldier, only wants to complete his mission.

I hesitated and was about to return.

There was a sudden loud explosion from the magma below, and then the white mist in the crater rose rapidly.

I was in mid-air, almost unable to stabilize my body due to the rising white mist.

On the contrary, Guan Hai and others, because of the barrier of the platform, did not suffer too much impact.

The white mist in the crater disappeared all of a sudden, making the entire crater very clear.

I looked down and saw that the magma began to rotate continuously, and the magma splashed from time to time fell on the rock wall on one side, making a loud noise.

And in the magma, it seems that something is swimming fast, and with my eyesight, I can only see a vague shadow.

The warning sounds from the Beetle became more and more urgent.

"Bang." With a loud noise, the magma burst open, and a slender figure rushed upwards quickly.

As the magma on its body fell, I could see clearly that it turned out to be a huge boa constrictor skeleton.

The python bones that were supposed to be melted by the magma did not melt for some reason, as if they still had life.

The skeleton, which should have been pure white, also turned bright red.

The python skeleton rushed up to the platform, and within a few twists, it snaked to Guan Hai and the others.

The huge snake mouth opened and swallowed Li Gui, Guan Hai, and Mi Gui in one bite. I only had time to hear Guan Hai's half-scream.

Obviously only the skeleton is left, but the swallowed Guan Hai and others have disappeared.

The key is that the shape of the boa constrictor skeleton was so fast that I didn't even realize it. If I stood in Guan Hai's position, I'm afraid I would not escape bad luck.

I glanced at the part of the mountain wall that was bitten off by the boa constrictor bone, and that was where the mother plant was. Although Guan Hai died, the mother plant was also swallowed by the python's bones, Guan Hai's death was not worthless.

After confirming everything, I stopped hesitating and flew out of the volcano quickly.

The boa constrictor skeleton sensed my whereabouts, nimbly walked up and down the mountain wall, and chased after me.

The speed of the boa constrictor skeleton is faster than my flying speed. If this continues, I am afraid that I will be overtaken by this strange boa constrictor skeleton and become its food before I reach the exit.

I started to take out the Soul Gathering Banner and waved it quickly, streaks of black mist flew in all directions, turning into ghosts and screaming at the python bones.

I don't expect these ghosts to be able to deal with the python bones, I just hope they can buy me a little time.

The result was very good, the boa constrictor skeleton was indeed attracted by these ghosts that appeared suddenly, and began to wander around and devour each ghost one by one.

The distance between me and the boa constrictor skeleton was getting farther and farther, but I still didn't dare to be careless, but continued to wave the soul-gathering banner in my hand, summoning ghosts one by one.

I don't care about wasting the ghosts at all now. If these ghosts are not eaten by the python bones, they will naturally return to my soul-gathering banner, but once I am eaten by the python bones, then everything will be over.

Excessive release of the ghost, the soul-gathering flag made a slight sound, I took a look, and suddenly felt a little anxious.

A tiny crack had already appeared on the Soul Gathering Banner.

I don't want to use the soul-gathering streamer anymore. I glanced down during the rapid flight, but this glance almost made my soul go out of my body.

The ghost released did not know when it had been swallowed up, and the huge python skeleton had chased me to a place less than 10 meters away.

I didn't dare to worry about whether it would damage the soul-gathering flag, but waved it more quickly, and let the ghosts that appeared one by one stay away from me as much as possible.

The python skeleton was once again attracted by the ghost and slowed down its pursuit of me.

Just when I was considering whether to release the mummy in the underworld cone, I finally rushed out of the volcano.

The boa constrictor skeleton didn't know why, but when it reached the mountain pass, it stopped chasing. Instead, it swam around the edge and slowly returned to the volcano.

This made me let out a long sigh of relief. If the python skeleton is led out of the volcano, it will be troublesome. I can imagine that the harm caused by the python skeleton will definitely not be much less than those of the head-down masters.

I looked at the soul-gathering flags that had rotted into rags with heartache, and couldn't help becoming interested in the origin of the python's bones.

Obviously, the boa constrictor skeleton is definitely beyond the control of those head-down masters.

The python bones should have been living in this volcano, and even this volcano has been active all the time because of the existence of the python bones.

And those head-down masters who planted the mother plant here should also know the existence of the python bones and plan to use the python bones to set a trap.

After resting for a while, I pulled myself together, got in touch with the person in charge, and told the other party about the python skeleton, hoping that the other party could collect information on this.

After doing all this, I transformed into a human body and returned directly to the residence assigned to me.

I need to do two things now. One is to get acquainted with the Beetle as soon as possible. Its keen ability makes me think that it may be able to play a very good role in dealing with the head-down master.

The second thing is to find a way to repair the Soul Gathering Banner.

The first thing is simple, I just need to keep communicating with the Beatles and establish a good relationship.

But the second thing gave me a little headache.

The Soul Gathering Banner was not damaged destructively due to excessive use, but what depresses me is the way to repair the Soul Gathering Banner.

Now there are two ways to repair the Soul Gathering Banner. One is to use my own Yin Qi to nourish it, and use my own Yin Qi to form ghosts without sanity. It can be restored.

It's just hundreds of thousands of years, I don't know if I can live to that time, besides, the current situation is very dangerous, and the Soul Gathering Banner is only at this time, it is particularly important.

Can I only use the second way.

To be honest, I am very entangled with the second method, because the second method looks like the work of bad people.

The second method is also very simple, that is to arrest the soul, use the soul-gathering banner to collect ghosts, and trap those ghosts in the soul-gathering banner for my use.

This requires very little time, and maybe it can make the gathering of souls to a higher level.

It's just that I can't get past this barrier in my heart. Because the ghosts controlled by the soul-gathering banner will lose the power of reincarnation forever and become slaves in the soul-gathering banner.

I thought about it for a whole day, until the person in charge called me and said that I had found some information about the volcano.

I also entered into a misunderstanding, arresting ghosts does not necessarily mean arresting the ghosts of ordinary people, besides, most of the ghosts of ordinary people are just some low-level ghosts of the first and second ranks, which are not very useful.

But it would be different if I detained the ghosts of the head-down masters. They are all cultivators, and the ghosts are much stronger than ordinary people. The most important thing is that I have no psychological pressure to arrest their ghosts.

Having figured this out, I happily went out to meet the person in charge.

When I saw the person in charge again, his eyes were red, and he looked very haggard. It seemed that he was very tired these days.

Seeing me, the person in charge directly put a tablet in front of me, and said wearily: "Here are some legends we sorted out. It seems that it should be related to the python you mentioned."

I nodded, and didn't check it right away, but asked, "How are Taoist An Tuo and the others doing?"

The person in charge rubbed his temples: "Those head-down masters are too weird, and they are very good at hiding. We haven't made much progress, but we have found another mother plant, which has been successfully destroyed."

I frowned. Although I had already thought that there would not be only one mother plant, knowing that I had found another one still made me shudder.

In my opinion, the mother plant is no less powerful than nuclear weapons, and even in some respects, the mother plant is more terrifying than nuclear weapons.

I said, "Are there any other mother plants?"

The person in charge nodded: "According to the head-removing master we caught, there should be another one, but I don't have any clues now."
