The blazing ghost flew very fast, and its shadow disappeared into the dark night, as if only the green lantern in its hand was flying in the woods, which was indescribably strange.
There was wind in the forest, making the trees rustle, as if I was surrounded by people. The trees were shaking, as if there were countless ghosts, whistling and swaying.
Perhaps because he saw me slowing down, the flaming ghost stopped for a moment and shouted coldly, "Hurry up, don't you want to save your girlfriend?"
Damn, I want to say that Sun Xiaoli is not my girlfriend, it would be nice if she were.
Although I was unhappy, I still quickened my pace and followed.
There is a path in the woods that leads to the depths of the forest. The weeds are so overgrown that they are almost higher than my waist.
There might be some small animals hiding in the weeds. When I passed by, some living creatures were running in the weeds, making the grass leaves rustle.
It was a bit cold, so I tightened my windbreaker and continued to follow the Burning Ghost.
After walking for more than ten minutes, I finally saw a small wooden house in front of me.
The cabin was hidden under a tree and looked very shabby. The tree was an old locust tree with sparse branches and leaves, and it looked half dead.
There were two wooden poles on each side of the door. Two blue lanterns were hung on the poles. That's right, they were not red or green, but blue.
The faint firelight danced inside the lantern, as if dyeing the surrounding darkness blue.
What surprised me was that from a distance, the cabin looked like a long coffin, and I could sense the deathly aura emanating from inside the cabin.
It seems that many people have died in the wooden house.
But how could such a big wooden house not be discovered in East Lake
After thinking about it, I understood that there must be some magic circle set up in this forest to block outside prying eyes. And the green lantern in Blazing Ghost's hand might be equivalent to a "primer" that can lead people into the magic circle and prevent them from getting lost.
But what do the two blue lanterns hanging on the wooden pole in front of the wooden house represent? I really don't know. In the Yin Yang Soul Crossing Notes, there are introductions to red lanterns, white lanterns, and green lanterns, but there is no mention of blue lanterns.
Just as I was thinking about it, the Blazing Ghost said faintly, "We're here!"
I regained my consciousness and discovered that the Blazing Ghost was already holding a green lantern and floating quickly towards the wooden house.
The wooden house was only about ten meters away from me. In a corner of the wooden house, a "woooo" sound suddenly came from there.
I looked closely and found a black shadow, twisted and curled up in the darkness of the corner.
Looking more closely, I found out it was Sun Xiaoli.
She was tied to a stone in the corner, with a piece of rag stuffed in her mouth. She obviously saw me and her body kept struggling.
Seeing this scene, I became anxious and rushed towards Sun Xiaoli.
But before I could take a step, the door of the wooden house creaked open.
Immediately afterwards, a boy with a bandaged arm walked out. It was Xiong Nantian.
Xiong Nantian ordered the Blazing Ghost, "Wait aside for now."
The Blazing Ghost said to Xiong Nantian respectfully: "Yes, Master."
Then, the Burning Ghost blew out the green lantern and floated behind Xiong Nantian.
Xiong Nantian and I exchanged glances, and there was annoyance in both of our eyes.
After a while, Xiong Nantian tilted his head, snorted coldly, and asked solemnly: "Did you bring the things my grandfather wanted?"
I lifted the red lacquer box slightly and said, "I brought it. The things are here."
Xiong Nantian nodded, waved to the Blazing Ghost beside him, and ordered
Said, "Go, bring that little girl here."
"Yes, Master."
After receiving the order, the Blazing Ghost's ghostly figure flashed in the darkness and appeared in the corner of the wooden house. Then, her ghost hand grew longer and grabbed Sun Xiaoli in the corner.
I hurriedly said, "Burning Ghost, don't hurt her."
The Blazing Ghost ignored me and grabbed Sun Xiaoli with one hand, like a chicken, and brought Sun Xiaoli in front of Xiong Nantian.
Xiong Nantian looked at me mockingly and said in a cold voice: "I brought the person to you. Take out the things."
Sun Xiaoli was thrown to the ground by the Burning Ghost without knowing the extent of the situation. Her body was shaking and her face was pale.
I could hear the "whimpering" sound coming from her throat.
I didn't give the red lacquer box to Xiong Nantian immediately.
I narrowed my eyes slightly, stared at him, and said, "No, I can't give you the box now. You have to release the person first. Only then can I give you the box. This is your base. I think you should consider me."
The mockery on Xiong Nantian's face became even more intense.
He replied without hesitation, "Okay, I can give you the person, but you have to check the goods first. Open the box and I'll see if it's what my grandfather wants. If it is, I'll let the person go first. If not, you can't take the person away, and you have to stay!"
Damn, this is really a naked threat.
But now I am on someone else's turf, and Sun Xiaoli is also in their hands, so I have no choice. I still hope that Xiong Nantian will not deliberately make trouble.
I was silent for a moment, slowly opened the box in my hand, and tilted the red lacquer box slightly.
With the light of the blue lantern, Xiong Nantian saw the black stone inside the box.
I noticed that when he saw the black stone, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, but then the joy disappeared and his face suddenly turned cold.
"Okay, that's what we want."
After saying that, Xiong Nantian ordered Chi Ran Gui, "Go, send this woman to him."
The Blazing Ghost acted obediently, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Soon, her soul, carrying Sun Xiaoli's body, landed in front of me.
I was on guard against the burning ghost.
Unexpectedly, the Blazing Ghost reached out and a ball of ghost fire appeared, burning the rope on Sun Xiaoli. The rope fell from Sun Xiaoli's body like a dead snake.
At the same time, the Burning Ghost also pulled out the rag from Sun Xiaoli's mouth.
"Wow..." Sun Xiaoli was still crying, with timidity in her eyes.
This made my heart tighten.
I comforted her, "It's okay, Xiaoli, I'm here, they won't hurt you."
I seem to have said this many times, but Sun Xiaoli was caught here by Xiong Nantian. I really feel guilty.
The Burning Ghost pushed his ghost hand forward, and Sun Xiaoli staggered towards me.
I reached out and held Sun Xiaoli's arm, protecting her behind me. But when I touched her arm, I found it was cold, like a piece of ice.
Sun Xiaoli hid behind me, shivering and crying.
Xiong Nantian spoke again, "Give it to me. I've given the man to you. You should give me the stone."
I thought about it, but didn't reply immediately.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Xiong Nantian said coldly, "Damn Taoist priest, do you want to regret it?"
I don't want to go back on my word, but now is not the time to think about this.
I said bluntly: "Xiong Nantian, although I don't know why you two must have this stone, but there is a grudge between you and me. I know you must hate me, after all, I hurt you.
If I give you the stone, I will have nothing to rely on, and then if you deal with me again, I will suffer greatly."
"So, what I mean is that I will give you the stones in this box after I leave East Lake."
But Xiong Nantian seemed to have not heard what I said. His voice was cold and he sneered, "Yang Tianyi, you really think you are a big shot. I tell you, in my eyes, you are nothing. Now you are actually negotiating terms with me. You are really stupid."
I was so angry at Xiong Nantian's sarcasm that my face turned gloomy.
But Xiong Nantian didn't take it seriously. His voice turned sinister and he said, "Do you really think I can't kill you?"
At this point, Xiong Nantian shouted: "Do it!"
When I heard him say take action, I quickly took precautions.
However, just when I was on guard, unexpectedly, a very fierce voice suddenly came from behind me. The voice was like the howling of ghosts and wolves, and it came from behind me.
This surprised me so much that I turned my head back subconsciously.
When I turned around, I found that the person standing behind me was no longer Sun Xiaoli, but a corpse with a purple face, skin and flesh peeled off, and red eyes.
Faintly, runes appeared on the corpse.
Damn it, this is not Sun Xiaoli at all, she is clearly a living corpse.
After Xiong Nantian shouted, the zombies attacked me directly.
He was too close to me! I didn't have time to react before one of his hands grabbed my waist.
hiss!
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain, and the zombie's claws left a claw mark on my waist. Its claws were very sharp and pierced into my flesh. Suddenly, a pain spread throughout my body, making my scalp numb.
The blood soaked the clothes around his waist.
I hurriedly took some steps and dodged to the side.
Unexpectedly, the zombie's other hand slashed my arm, and then the red lacquer box in my hand fell to the ground.
There was no time to get the red lacquer box, so I hid to the side.
And the zombie was still rushing towards me, making muffled sounds from its mouth.
The sound was as if there was a dead mouse stuffed in its mouth and it was chewing it continuously, which made me feel scared.
"Hey, idiot! See, the stone is not in my hands in the end."
At this time, the burning ghost had already taken the black stone from the red lacquer box and handed it to Xiong Nantian.
I stared at Xiong Nantian angrily and asked harshly, "Where is Sun Xiaoli? Where did you hide her?"
Xiong Nantian raised his lips slightly and said teasingly, "Sun Xiaoli? Hehe, you are talking about that woman. She is very good, you don't have to worry. After I deal with you, I will get along well with her. At that time, in **, I will let that woman know how powerful I am. If you dare to lie to me, you will have to pay the price."
Then, Xiong Nantian shouted at the zombie that rushed towards me: "Kill him, and his flesh and blood will be yours!"
The zombie was already rushing towards me, and I took out the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword and pointed it at him.
The red light on the sword tore away the zombie's arm and pushed it back a few steps.
The zombie let out a terrifying cry from its mouth, and its head, which looked like it could fall off at any time, pounced towards me and bit me.
I dodged to the side with the Seven Star Steps, and found the right moment to use the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword, and pointed it at the zombie's chest.
With a "puff" sound, the sword pierced into the zombie's chest. I slashed upwards and a bloody piece of flesh was cut open.
Then, I flicked my finger and the thunder bead flew into the bloody wound.
