I sat there and adjusted my breathing for about seven or eight minutes, and then I heard a gloomy sound coming from outside the cave.
The cold wind blew the mist into flying wildly.
I could sense that an evil ghost and a lot of little ghosts were flying over here.
Fortunately, Uncle Sun and I both had Yin Fu on us, so we hadn't been discovered by the ghosts yet. In addition, the magic array isolated our aura.
As for why he was discovered in the woods before, it was because the Ghost King’s perception was stronger than that of ordinary evil ghosts and fierce ghosts.
The evil ghost outside hesitated here for a long time, and finally left and searched in the distance.
Hearing the sound of the evil ghost leaving, the expression on Uncle Sun's face eased a little.
Without saying anything, I slowly closed my eyes and continued to absorb the "spirit" in the air. However, many of the meridians in my body have been occupied by ghost poison, so even when absorbing the "spirit", I have to be very careful.
Otherwise, if I am not careful and come into contact with the ghost poison, the sealing formation in my body will be broken automatically, and then I will be in trouble.
Just like this, I spent more than an hour regulating my breathing here.
More than an hour later, a variety of noises were heard outside again.
I sensed that there were several evil ghosts, fierce ghosts and quite a few little ghosts outside, and they seemed to have discovered the maze.
Thinking it was not good, I hurriedly told Uncle Sun and the ghost girl Huang Yueying, "Let's go inside the cave, otherwise when the maze is broken, we will be doomed."
Uncle Sun was still confused and asked me, "Tianyi, there's no need. Won't the ghosts be able to find us?"
I was a little angry, and said angrily: "How can they not find it? They have already discovered the existence of the magic circle. It's right to listen to me, hurry up and leave."
Not long after I finished speaking, ghostly energy from outside the formation rushed into the maze.
A lot of fog was dispersed by the ghost energy, and some small cracks appeared on the array plate of the magic circle.
Seeing this, Uncle Sun finally believed what I said.
Without saying goodbye, the two of us and the ghost quickly ran into the cave.
At this time, my strength has recovered a little, almost like that of an ordinary person. The energy of Yin De has been replenished, and the "spirit" has just recovered a little, but I dare not move rashly because the ghost poison is still entrenched in my body.
We were moving at a pretty good pace, and once we found a path we headed inside.
The cave was wet, and there were protruding rocks above the head, and water would drip down from time to time.
There were a lot of gravel on the road, some of which were sharp. Just now, Sun Yaowen accidentally cut his ankle, leaving a bloody cut.
However, the wound was not big and did not hurt the tendons and veins. It just bleed a little.
There are many forks in the cave, and the direction we followed was the path with water. I thought, since there was water in here, there must be an exit. So we chose this side.
At this time, the array of the soul-confusing array at the entrance of the cave had been completely broken. After the ghosts smelled the human scent where we were, they all rushed into the cave.
Leading the group were two evil ghosts, who also arranged a little ghost to notify the ghost king Duan Tiancai.
We were moving forward in the cave and met a little Tan.
The water in the small pond was clear, but there were no fish. We sat on the rocks by the pond and rested for a few minutes before rushing back into the cave.
The cave was very dark and quiet. Fortunately, I had a flashlight in my bag, otherwise it would have been really troublesome.
After walking for another half an hour, we suddenly heard a rustling sound in front of us.
After hearing that voice, I quickly stopped Uncle Sun and said, "Uncle, wait a minute.
. "
Sun Yaowen stopped, tilted his head to look at me, and asked, "Tianyi, what's wrong?"
I lowered my voice and said, "Did you hear the noise ahead?"
Uncle Sun listened carefully, and then said with a gloomy face, "It seems like there is movement, as if something is rubbing against each other."
Yes, that's the sound of friction.
I pulled Uncle Sun behind me, turned off the flashlight, and walked forward with Uncle Sun and the female ghost.
My eyes are filled with "spirit" and can see through things in front of me.
Soon, I saw a slightly larger cave in front of me.
And inside the cave there is a black stone pillar.
A snake as thick as a thigh was coiled around the stone pillar.
The scales on the snake glowed with their own light, emitting soft rainbow colors.
Its long body was wrapped around the stone pillar many times.
What terrified me was that the snake's head was not a snake's head, but a human's head. No, it was a ghost's head!
This surprised me greatly.
I thought of the python that was possessed by a ghost when I was in the world of the living. But that python was just controlled by the ghost and did not have a ghost head.
This snake is surrounded by ghostly aura, as if it was born from ghostly aura.
The female ghost Huang Yueying also saw the snake, and her soul was shaking.
Uncle Sun on the side saw that we were silent, so he asked in a low voice: "Tianyi, what's wrong? Did you find anything? Why is the pillar in front so bright?"
I don't know how to explain it well.
The female ghost Huang Yueying on the side suddenly spoke in a trembling voice and whispered to me: "Master Yang, it's bad, we are in trouble. The snake in front is not an ordinary snake. It is a kind of snake unique to the City of the Dead, called the 'Seven-Colored Yin Snake'."
This kind of snake lives in places where Yin energy is concentrated all year round and can survive on Yin energy."
"At the same time, it also devours ghosts. Ordinary ghosts are no match for this snake. Although the teeth on its head are not poisonous, they are extremely sharp."
"And this seven-colored Yin snake we encountered has so much ghost energy on it, it must have devoured a lot of ghosts. I estimate that its strength is even stronger than that of ordinary evil ghosts."
My face was gloomy. I didn't expect to encounter such a sinister snake. I was so damn unlucky.
But it was too late to say anything now, we had already arrived at the cave. There were even more ferocious ghosts behind us, so we could only bite the bullet and move forward.
Otherwise, once the Ghost King arrives, it will be difficult to get out.
"Master Yang, have you figured out what to do?"
The female ghost Huang Yueying was very afraid of the seven-colored Yin snake and asked me tremblingly.
I thought about it and looked at the colorful Yin snake again.
However, the snake seemed to be sleeping, with the eyes on its head closed. It was just that its body was rubbing slightly against the stone pillar, which made the rustling sound.
I whispered to the ghost girl Huang Yueying and Uncle Sun, "The seven-colored snake should not have woken up yet. We can slowly move towards it. I just saw a small hole on the north side of the cave. That should be the only way out of here."
After hearing what I said, the ghost Huang Yueying asked me, "Master Yang, what if we are discovered by that seven-colored Yin snake?"
Damn, what she said is really unlucky!
I curled my lips and said unhappily, "Don't say that. I think we can get through as long as we are careful not to disturb it."
The female ghost Huang Yueying nodded and said nothing more.
Sun Shu was just an ordinary person and couldn't give any advice. Besides, it was pitch black in the cave and he couldn't see anything more.
Now that the decision has been made, the next step is to take action.
Afterwards, I took out the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword and walked in front, Uncle Sun followed me, and the female ghost Huang Yueying followed behind.
The cave is not big. We walked along the stone wall on the right, bypassing the stone pillar in the middle and went inside.
We walked very carefully, fearing any noise.
The snake was still coiled there, with its eyes closed on its head.
From my angle, I estimated that the snake's body was more than ten meters long. It was incredible.
I originally thought I could safely reach the small exit hole on the north side.
But unexpectedly, not long after we entered the cave, we heard a "squeaking" sound above our heads.
I was startled and sweat broke out on my back instantly.
Uncle Sun and the female ghost Huang Yueying were also very frightened.
Immediately afterwards, the "creaking" sound became even louder.
Then, several black creatures rushed towards us from the top of the cave.
I took a look and saw that they were some strange birds.
These birds have gray feathers, only one eye on their heads, and a red, sharp beak.
The ghost girl Huang Yueying also saw the strange bird and screamed, "Master Yang, that... that is the Soul Devouring Bird!"
"Soul-eating bird? What is that?" I asked anxiously.
The ghost Huang Yueying said: "It is a ghost bird that only lives in places with heavy Yin energy. Like the seven-colored Yin snake, it specializes in eating the souls of humans and ghosts."
Damn it, first it was the Seven-Colored Yin Snake, and now it’s the Soul-Eating Bird. Why the hell am I so unlucky? Who the hell did I offend
With the cry of the Soul-Eating Bird and our voices, the colorful Yin Snake wrapped around the stone pillar was completely awakened.
"Wow, who woke me up?"
A dull and suppressed voice came from the head of the seven-colored Yin Snake, and it actually spoke in human language.
The seven-colored snake's ghost head was pointed towards us, and its cold ghost eyes were glowing with a bright green. It was a bit scary!
But we can't take care of it now because those soul-eating birds are rushing over.
The good energy in his body instantly poured into the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword, and then the magic sword swept towards the soul-devouring birds.
The blade of the magic sword turned red, and the sword light instantly fell on the soul-eating birds.
Immediately, those soul-eating birds with ghostly auras on their bodies were chopped down and fell to the ground with a flutter.
After a few struggles, the soul-eating birds lost all their ghost energy and died.
The female ghost Huang Yueying also took action. Her ghost energy formed into streaks and hit the two soul-devouring birds. However, her attack utilized ghost energy, so it did not cause much damage to the soul-devouring birds.
The two soul-eating birds actually devoured the ghost energy released by the female ghost Huang Yueying.
Seeing this, I swung my magic sword again.
The next moment, red light descended, and the two soul-eating birds were chopped down and died.
The ghost girl Huang Yueying hid behind me in fear and reminded me, "Master Yang, although these soul-eating birds are very weak, even weaker than ordinary ghosts, they are ghost birds that move in groups, and their attack power is still very strong."
I see!
Just as I realized this, a "creaking" sound came from the top of the cave.
Immediately afterwards, a large group of soul-eating birds flew towards us.
The sharp mouths stretched forward like a bunch of awls.
My goodness, that’s pretty scary.
Uncle Sun was so scared that he hid behind a rock and curled up into a ball.
Seeing those soul-eating birds rushing towards me, I narrowed my eyes slightly, sneered, took out various talismans from my cloth bag, and threw them out.
At the same time, I chanted a mysterious spell to activate those talismans.
