"Wild ghosts! These are high-level ghosts from the underworld. Their strength is comparable to that of early Mahayana beings, and their bodies can become virtual. Ordinary attacks are of no use to them at all. They are very difficult to deal with." The Horse-Faced Soul-Catcher took a deep breath when he saw these ghosts clearly.
"Really?" Shen Luo said lightly and put away the fire lotus beside him.
No matter what kind of ghost it is, it has no power to resist the red lotus fire.
He activated the Qiankun bag on his waist and put the corpses of several wild ghosts into it. He would wait for Zhao Feiji to come back and let him refine and absorb them.
"Wild ghosts are extremely rare ghosts, and they usually only live in the Xuanyin Reed Forest near the Yellow Springs River. How could they appear here?" The Soul-Catching Horse-Faced Ghost suddenly muttered to himself.
"It seems that someone has gathered ghosts from all over the place here, just because they don't want people to see the people of Chang'an. I'm afraid there is really someone controlling this matter behind the scenes." Shen Luo said with a flash in his eyes when he heard this.
"Based on the current situation, it is most likely so." Although the Horse-Faced Soul-Catcher did not want to admit it, the facts were before him.
At this moment, a low roar came from a distance, and several skull-like ghosts pounced towards them fiercely.
"Skeleton monster!" The Horse-Faced Demon's expression changed.
"No need to get entangled with them, just keep moving forward." Shen Luo activated the earth-escaping talisman to continue diving, and the Soul-Catching Horse-Faced Demon hurriedly followed.
However, this time a strange force appeared in the ground below, making the soil much denser, greatly interfering with the progress of the escaping talisman.
The skeleton ghost behind also fled underground and chased after him.
These skeleton monsters are stronger than the wild ghosts just now, and have reached the middle stage of Mahayana. They seem to be unaffected by the strange power under the ground, and the distance between them is rapidly closing.
Shen Luo frowned and activated his soft smoke brocade robe. A blue light enveloped himself and the Horse-Faced Demon.
The bodies of the two men immediately turned into nothingness, and the influence of the strange power in the surrounding soil on them was greatly weakened. Their diving speed suddenly increased by several times, and they put some distance between themselves and the ghosts behind them.
Shen Luo was just about to make a concerted effort to penetrate the soil layer and enter the fourth level of the nameless ghost town when the strange power around him suddenly increased several times. Black lines emerged from the soil and suddenly enveloped the bodies of the two men. Even Soft Smoke Luo Jinyi's ability to become invisible could not avoid them.
"Formation!"
Shen Luo's heart skipped a beat, realizing that he had fallen into a trap. He was about to use all his strength to destroy part of the formation when suddenly a large area of bright black light appeared in front of him, flooding his vision.
The black light seemed to be substantial, and even though he possessed the Netherworld Ghost Eyes, he subconsciously closed his eyes.
"Not good!" Shen Luo said in a low voice the moment he closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, the scenery around him had changed completely. The mud and the Horse-Faced Demon were nowhere to be seen. He appeared in a gray, seemingly boundless space.
"Illusionary magic circle? And it looks like it's of a high level." Shen Luo's heart sank, but he did not panic. He raised his hand and summoned the Thousand Dou Golden Cup and the Bloodthirsty Banner. Two light curtains, one gold and one black, protected his entire body.
After doing this, he felt a little relieved. He used his spiritual sense to explore the surroundings, looking for flaws in the illusion space.
At this moment, the surrounding space suddenly fluctuated, and silver crescent moons emerged one after another, filling the entire space in a few breaths.
