As the heir of the Tianshi family, the young man naturally has an extraordinary pride.
In the past, if someone casually asked him to "light a fire" in this tone, as if it was not a mysterious art but a funny magic show, he would usually only get a cold look from the boy and be turned down.
But at this moment, after Yuan Yuxue finished speaking, he didn't know why he couldn't feel any dislike for her.
… There’s even a bit of a desire to show off and put on a good show.
If Yuan Yuxue wants to see it, just let him see it.
In the time it took to think about it, the young man threw out a yellow talisman, and the peach wood sword was placed between his fingers. The moment the sword turned, the yellow talisman rose higher and higher, and suddenly caught fire, a ball of bright light burst out, and the flame floated in the air.
There was clearly no combustible material, but the light was constant and the fire was blazing.
The young man retracted his sword and looked at Yuan Yuxue again calmly.
He quickly retracted his eyes and subconsciously glanced towards the fire.
“… !!”
Just this one glance made the young man's whole body stiffen instantly.
Actually—
The ceiling of the underground warehouse was very high, and the light bulbs were embedded on both sides of the wall, so the light could not reach the ceiling at all. But at this moment, when the fire talisman appeared, the ceiling was illuminated, and the young Taoist priest discovered that the ceiling was actually densely hung with ghosts.
So densely packed that it takes up the entire ceiling!
They were all the same ghosts as the hundred-armed monster, but not as big as that one. They seemed to be still developing, curled up in a ball and hanging on the ceiling with their eyes closed. So at first glance, they looked like a bunch of frog eggs stuck together, with no end in sight.
While the boy was exorcising the ghost, he didn't notice that there was something above his head.
Who could have imagined that there was such a danger hidden in the darkness
If these ghosts were awakened, they would have the advantage of lurking in the dark, and perhaps they would be able to -
The young Taoist priest pursed his lips slightly, a little cold sweat seeping out of his forehead.
The feeling of being spied on like this is really not a good one.
What’s worse is that after discovering the existence of these ghosts, the boy still couldn’t do anything about them.
It was difficult enough to deal with one ghost, let alone so many of them... They had to leave here as soon as possible before they were awakened, and then seek help from the elders at home.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the fire talisman had been put away by the young Taoist priest. At this moment, he looked at Yuan Yuxue with a complicated expression, lowered his voice and said softly, "Thank you for reminding me... Let's go first, be careful not to wake them up."
Even though he made such a big noise just now, these ghosts didn't wake up. Maybe it was because the time had not come yet and they would not become a threat. Therefore, the young Tianshi was not very scared and just prepared to leave with Yuan Yuxue and the others.
"Um?"
Yuan Yuxue responded softly, with some doubt in her eyes, "Waking up?"
“They’re awake.”
Yuan Yuxue said calmly, "When you killed the ghost just now, they were watching you from above."
It seems that human eyes cannot see in the dark - Yuan Yuxue has already realized this.
It was precisely because of this that he asked the young Taoist priest to light the fire.
