There were ten people left in the trap, including me. I arranged for Zhu Xinglong and other ghost officials to disperse and start looking for flaws in the trap, but after searching for more than an hour, we found nothing.
Those ghost officials were listless, with lost expressions on their faces.
"Master Yang, will we be trapped to death in this formation?"
Nie Gangjie, the ghost official with a good nose, asked me in a dull voice.
I smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either. However, if we just sit there and wait for death, we will definitely die. You should just walk around in the trap and try to find a way to break it."
"All right!"
Nie Gangjie shook his head with a bitter look on his face and walked aside.
I stood beside the big rock, frowning. I had been searching for more than an hour, searching the entire trap, even turning over the remains of the dead ghost zombies, but I found nothing.
I flipped through both the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes and the Nine Yin Ghost Techniques, but there was no introduction to the trapped array in them, which made me very upset.
The dark energy under my feet urged me to move and I jumped to the top of the big rock. It is said that the higher you stand, the farther you can see. I wanted to see what was going on in this trap set by the ghost.
My third eye was open, but after looking for a long time, all I saw was a dark film of light.
Damn it, are we really going to be trapped to death in this formation
At this moment, I thought of the giant beast Taotie in the red lacquered coffin.
By the way, Taotie had reached some kind of agreement with the ghost girl Tong Xue and helped the ghost girl Tong Xue. Does that mean that the giant beast Taotie can also help me
Thinking of this, and seeing that no one else was noticing me, I sat cross-legged on top of the boulder and took the red-painted coffin out of the cloth bag.
The red lacquered coffin feels cold to the touch, and there is a bone-chilling feeling, which shows the evil nature inside.
I also felt the pull of the soul in the coffin.
Frowning, I still tried to communicate with the giant beast Taotie in the coffin.
"Taotie Beast, I am the owner of this coffin. I would like to ask you for help?"
My lips moved as I uttered this sentence. At the same time, I slowly chanted the spell to open the red lacquer coffin according to the formula that the female ghost sister told me.
After I finished reciting the spell, I didn't hear any response from the giant beast Taotie, but I found that my soul was slowly flying out of my body.
Then, the lid of the red-painted coffin moved to the side, and the phantom of my soul formed by my three souls and seven spirits was actually sucked directly into the red-painted coffin.
My soul instinctively tried to break free, but it was of no avail.
For a moment, I felt my soul shaken.
Then my soul appeared inside the red lacquered coffin.
When I opened my eyes and saw the scene inside the red lacquered coffin, I was even more surprised.
As expected, the space inside the red lacquer coffin was very large. A huge beast covered with long brown and black hair was lying on the ground. Behind the beast was an extremely large bronze coffin. The coffin was hundreds of meters long and dozens of meters wide.
The structure inside the red lacquer coffin I was in was a bit like an ancient palace, magnificent and spotless. But if it is an ancient palace, many of the furnishings and structures are not achievable with the craftsmanship and construction level of that period.
The giant beast had a human face and a sheep's body, eyes under its armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, a big head and a big mouth. It should be the giant beast Taotie, it looked really weird. But its body was wrapped with black chains.
Perhaps sensing that my soul had entered the red-painted coffin, the giant beast Tao
Tie slowly opened his eyes.
Its human face actually showed an expression of confidence and fearlessness.
"Clatter, clatter!" The black iron chain made a sound.
The giant beast Taotie slowly stood up.
My God, it was so huge, as tall as a four-story building. I thought to myself, there is no way such a horrible creature could exist in the world, even if it was hybridized, such a horrible creature would not appear.
A goat's body and a human's face, eyes under the armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, a big head and a big mouth...
Wow! Perhaps, only in the Classic of Mountains and Seas can there be descriptions of such monsters. But what is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are just some strange stories, which are not real at all. They are just legends.
A gray light shone from the round eyes, and the giant beast Taotie spoke, "Who are you?"
Although the face of the Taotie beast is that of a human, it is extremely ugly, with large tumor-like lumps growing on it.
My soul timidly floated in the air, trying to stay as far away from the gluttonous beast as possible.
I said tremblingly: "I am the new owner of this coffin, my name is Yang Tianyi, I am a human! ... "
Who knew that before I finished introducing myself, the giant beast Taotie started to laugh "Gaga". Its laughter sounded like the cry of a crow, very harsh and made people feel uneasy.
"why are you laughing?"
I stared at the Taotie beast, but I was nervous inside.
The Taotie beast put away the smile on his face and said coldly: "I laugh at your stupidity. You said you are the owner of this red lacquer coffin? That's simply a joke. The owner of this red lacquer coffin is the person in the bronze coffin behind me, but that person has already fallen asleep."
"As for you, a weak human, you are showing off here and claiming that you are the new owner of the red-painted coffin. Isn't this ridiculous?"
There was contempt in the eyes and voice of the Taotie beast.
This makes me feel very uncomfortable.
It even mentions "humanity" instead of "humanity".
I frowned slightly and asked tentatively, "But Taotie Beast, I have already dripped my blood on the red lacquer coffin."
This time, the Taotie beast did not answer me immediately. Instead, it stared at me with serious eyes and looked at me.
After a moment, he asked me, "Human, how do you know my name? How do you know my name is Taotie?"
I thought about it and said directly without any hesitation: "The ghost girl Tong Xue told me!"
"Tong Xue? Haha... is she the ghost I devoured? Haha, she does know my name, and she even made a pact with me. She was just a weak ghost before, and I helped her improve her strength later."
At this point, the Taotie Beast licked his lips and said, "Human, what? Do you also want to make a deal with me? If you contribute your soul, I can also help you improve your Taoism. How about it?"
When I saw the gluttonous beast looking at me with a greedy look, I knew something was wrong.
I waved my hands and said in panic, "No, no, no... Taotie Beast, I don't want to make a deal with you. I won't sacrifice my soul, I just came in to take a look... Yes, I just came in to take a look!"
But the Taotie beast directly exposed my lie.
"Haha... Human boy, you are so good at lying without blushing. But don't try to deceive me. I already know that you and those guys in the underworld are trapped in the ghost array. However, the underworld is not as good as before. Those ghost officials are so weak that they are not even as strong as an ant!"
The Taotie beast looks down on the underworld
You know, there are many big names in the underworld.
It can be seen how powerful the Taotie beast is. But why is such a powerful monster bound by black iron chains? !
By the way, I seem to have seen that kind of black iron chain in the sewer of Xiyuan Community.
I suddenly thought, maybe that black chain on the other side of the sewer also bound some monster. I didn't dare to think about it any further, because I felt that knowing more would be of no benefit to me.
Seeing that my soul was in a trance, the Taotie beast asked me, "What's wrong, human boy, are you thinking of any bad ideas?"
I came back to my senses, smiled awkwardly, and said quickly: "Nothing, nothing!"
The Taotie Beast narrowed its eyes seriously and sneered, "Human boy, you lied again!"
Damn, this guy is really troublesome.
I couldn't explain myself anymore, so I admitted, "Okay, okay, I admit, I was lying. OK?"
My words made the Taotie beast laugh so hard that it fell backwards and forwards. The black iron chain on its body kept shaking with its laughter, making a "clattering" sound, which made me feel irritated.
"Not bad, not bad. You actually admitted that you were lying. You are quite interesting, you human! Haha..."
The Taotie beast said with a smile.
Am I funny? It's obviously because the joke is too low.
I interrupted the Taotie Beast's laughter and said bluntly: "Taotie Beast, my soul entered the red lacquer coffin for a reason, and I beg you for help. I also hope you can help me. I know you are very powerful and can break the trap outside."
I stopped talking here, because I knew that this gluttonous beast would not easily agree to my request. But I couldn't agree to everything it said, I needed to hear what it had to say.
Taotie rolled his eyes under his armpits and said unhappily, "Human boy, I know what you are thinking. Aren't you just afraid that after I make a deal with you, it will be disadvantageous to you?"
"Hehe, come to think of it, I have to thank you. Last time in the corridor of your house, I devoured a lot of ghosts and souls. They tasted really good."
"... But those souls only made me slightly full. Now I'm still hungry! If you want me to break this ghost formation, you need to provide me with food. Only with food can I help you."
Food
This gluttonous beast really has a big mouth. But from what it said just now, the ghost bird released by the headless ghost soul that it met in the corridor last time only made it eat a little bit. Does that mean that this time, I have to find more ghost souls for it
I frowned and asked nervously, "What do you want to eat? Is it still a ghost?"
Who knew that the Taotie beast would shrink its neck and shake its big head.
It smiled and said, "I don't want to eat those ghosts anymore. They are dry and tasteless. Even if the female ghost sacrificed her soul, it still doesn't taste good. I want to eat meat now!"
"Want some meat?"
I subconsciously asked, "How much meat?"
The Taotie Beast thought I had agreed, so he said with a smile: "Based on the size of your human adult bodies, I would need to eat three million people!!"
I was surprised and asked again subconsciously, "How many people do you want to eat?"
The Taotie Beast rolled his eyes and said, "I said, I want to eat three million people! ... But those three million people can't fill my stomach at all. It would be even better if there were a few million more!"
Damn, this is obviously a man-eating monster!
I really want to call it a foodie.
It eats people, three million of them at a time, and it is not afraid of choking to death!
The Taotie Beast looked at me and asked calmly, "How is it? Can you satisfy me?"
