Hundreds or even thousands of human bones were piled up on just one palm of the bone-burying spirit. At this moment, the heads of these bones were all looking towards Ye Li and Dongfang Caiyi.
The hollow eyes of the skull were filled with black mist, which looked like a mixture of yin spiritual energy and the air of death, exuding a smell of decay and destruction.
At this moment, Dongfang Caiyi could no longer even tremble. Her whole body was completely stiff and she could only allow Ye Li to hold her and fly forward.
All she could see before her was the huge bony hand and countless empty eye sockets emitting black mist.
Just when the hand of the burial spirit was about to grab the two people in mid-air, a huge black stone door rose from the ground.
The stone gate opened completely the moment it appeared, and the huge open gate appeared right in front of Ye Li and Dongfang Caiyi, right on the path they were flying out.
The vortex of ochre-colored mist in the door was constantly flowing, like a huge pit, waiting for the two to fall in.
Dongfang Caiyi also saw the huge stone gate that suddenly appeared at this time. However, she was filled with fear and had no idea what this stone gate was.
Ye Li held her and fell into the stone gate at the fastest speed. The door closed completely in the blink of an eye.
This was exactly the talisman of the Earth Gate that Ye Li had just released in advance, but he had not been in a hurry to activate it. Instead, he had ambushed it underground, waiting for the right opportunity.
The moment the two figures fell into the ochre-colored mist, they felt an inexplicable force of space teleportation coming. After hugging each other and experiencing a moment of directionless rotation, they felt a huge pressure coming around them. The air seemed to disappear suddenly, and was replaced by heavy and compact soil.
The Gate of the Earth standing in the valley was slammed by a huge bony hand at the moment of closing. The powerful force seemed to be pressing down on a paper door, destroying it with ease.
The black mist wrapped around the white bones began to erode the stone gate as soon as it touched it.
However, this erosion is different from the simple corrosion of Yin spiritual energy. After this force came into contact with the stone gate, the stones on the stone gate began to decay as if they had experienced tens of millions of years of weathering.
The stone began to rot and decay from the inside. After being pressed by the giant palm, the whole piece crumbled into mud and scattered all over the ground.
However, Ye Li and the other person in the stone gate had disappeared long ago. With the special effect brought by this talisman, their bodies had been directly transferred to the land under the gate.
Before hugging Dongfang Caiyi, Ye Li had already taken off his heavy lava armor. Now he was defenseless and buried in the ground together with Dongfang Caiyi.
Under the heavy pressure from the surrounding land, the two could only hug each other tightly. The warmth from each other's bodies made their cheeks hot even though they were still in crisis.
The burial spirit slapped in the air and did not find the two people in the door, so it immediately let out an angry roar.
The roar came from behind the dark fog, alarming everyone on the Ghost Road.
After the bone-burying spirit roared, its palm stayed above the place where Ye Li and Dongfang Caiyi were buried in the ground, with its knuckles flexing and extending, as if it was trying to grab them.
However, its range of activity was indeed as Tunri and Ye Li had guessed. It could only stay on the rock wall and could not attack people in the valley.
After the angry roar, another unwilling roar was heard, and then the bony hand retracted towards the sky and disappeared into the dark clouds in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, a black mist fell from the sky like a stream of water and poured into the body of the giant white bone beast that was wrapped in the sun.
The giant white bone beast, which originally looked very powerful, suddenly began to change after being infused with black energy.
Its body expanded again, reaching more than six meters in height. The snake tail behind it became longer and thicker, and a single horn grew at the tip of each of its three snake heads.
The wings behind the giant beast became increasingly larger, and the mist covering them became solid, as if it had an extra pair of metal wings.
Countless sharp bone spurs extended from the four legs of the giant beast, and the spine on its back also grew huge spikes one meter long.
On the original tiger head, two fangs protruded from the mouth, like two long swords, sharp white and terrifying.
The giant beast looked up at the sky and let out an angry roar. A black aura flashed in its eyes, and a powerful aura spread out, blowing away the Sun-Swallowing Incarnation that had been wrapped up to hold it back.
Ye Li, who was trapped underground, tried to move his fingers and drew an earth-based talisman on Dongfang Caiyi's jade back.
Where the two were buried, a wall of earth rose from the ground, pushing away the soil above and lifting the two people out.
Breathing the outside air again made the two of them feel relieved, and their chests, which had been feeling a little uncomfortable, could finally relax.
The two people who were hugging each other tightly were a little unresponsive after they emerged from the ground. After taking a deep breath, they finally seemed to remember something and separated from each other as if they had been electrocuted.
Dongfang Caiyi's cheeks, which were originally as white as ice for thousands of years, were already covered with a layer of red frost. The look in her eyes was extremely complicated, with gratitude, shame, helplessness, and pretending to be calm.
However, there was a strange heat in Ye Li's eyes. Dongfang Caiyi found it a little dazzling, but not annoying.
The strange atmosphere between the two dissipated with the roar of the giant beast, and the voice of Sun Tun rang out: "Ye Li, you lunatic, I just thought you were going to be beaten to death by the Bone Burial Spirit, but I didn't expect you to use such a method to escape from it.
That's a magical bone-mourning spirit. When I was alive, even at my peak, it would have been difficult for me to defeat it.
If you can escape from its clutches, you can really brag about it for the rest of your life."
The flames that were blown away by the giant beast gathered again into the image of the Flame-Devouring Suan Ni with the appearance of Ye Li, floating beside Ye Li.
This time, Tunri did not communicate with Ye Li through voice transmission, but spoke in front of Dongfang Caiyi.
Dongfang Caiyi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly seemed to understand something. She couldn't help but take a closer look at the Liuyanyan Suanlu next to her. She obviously knew that the person who had just spoken was the spirit of Ye Li's talisman.
"Ye Li, get ready quickly, the situation is not good. The Bone Burial Spirit cannot attack you who are already in the valley due to the restrictions of this trial ground.
But it just injected a stream of power into the body of the white-bone monster, and it now seems to have become much stronger, and its strength may have reached the late stage of the Descendant Stage!"
When Tunri saw the giant bone beast had returned to combat mode, he hurriedly reminded Ye Li.
