167 ghosts
"Boom!"
The stone city shook violently, as if a huge earthquake had occurred, but after the dazzling light, everything was intact, Ye Hao's punch that was enough to destroy the heavenly dome did not break the city gate in the slightest, and even the surrounding land and city walls were not damaged in the slightest.
"How is that possible?" Yun Dong, Lei Junwei and Heavenly Demon Tiger had a hint of disbelief on their faces.
The qi generated by Ye Hao's tight punch just now made them feel terrified, but such a powerful punch did not cause the slightest damage to this stone city, but this entire stone city was made of divine iron.
"I don't believe it!" Ye Hao stared at the city gate tightly, a momentum that shook the heavens and the earth welled up from his body, and he raised his fist, ready to swing it again.
Originally, he was extremely confident, thinking that after having this punch, although he could not be said to be invincible, at least as long as he did not meet the owner of the beast claw he saw when he came in, no one should be able to threaten him.
"It's useless, unless you have the strength of Emperor Wu, otherwise no one can break this city gate!" As the words fell, an ordinary-looking woman walked out from around the corner.
The sudden appearance of the woman made Ye Hao and several people vigilant, but after discovering that she had the cultivation of the Martial Emperor, she relaxed again, obviously this woman was not from this city.
"I remember, you're the contestant from Anman County!" Yun Dong stared at the woman's face for a moment, until the woman had a look of disgust on her face, and then suddenly said.
Yun Dong was extremely eager to win the first place in the county ranking battle so as to get the rewards given by the royal family, so he was very concerned about the players who participated in the county ranking station, but the woman in front of him was so ordinary that he didn't think about it for a while.
"You seem to be familiar with this place!" Ye Hao looked at the woman and said in surprise.
The woman smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Hehe, familiar, if we are familiar, we won't be the only one left in Anman County!"
"Then how do you know that this city gate can't be opened without the strength of Emperor Wu!"
The woman looked at a few people silently, was silent for a while, and then said, "You will know if you come with me!"
As she spoke, the woman began to lead the way, and at this time Ye Hao and the others noticed that there was a separate stone house next to the city gate, which was much smaller than other stone houses, and could only accommodate ten people at most.
Pushing open the door of the stone house, the woman took Ye Hao and them in.
In the stone house, a pearl lit up the surroundings, obviously the woman lived in it just now, but the huge movement made by Ye Hao attracted her attention, so she walked out.
The woman pointed to a wall in the room and said lightly, "What I just said is just what I saw on the wall." ”
Ye Hao, Lei Junwei and others, hearing this, all walked to the wall that the woman was referring to.
This wall records everything in this city, and it is very detailed, Ye Hao and the others only frowned slightly at the beginning, and their faces became more and more ugly in the back.
This life is called the city of life and death, during the day, all the creatures in it are not in the slightest danger, no different from the living, but at night, everything here will become very terrifying, even a small grass may become a ghost, and the only thing that can avoid the ghost is these stone houses, but the gate of the city of life and death is only open at night, that is, to go out, you must fight with those ghosts, this danger factor is very large, if you are not careful, you may be damaged, because this world does not have any way to deal with ghosts.
"By the way, you've been here for so many days and found their weaknesses?" Ye Hao turned to the woman and asked.
They only came to this city today, and they are not familiar with this place at all, so it can be said that their eyes are completely black, but this woman has obviously been in this city for a while, and she has lived until now, maybe she has gained a little.
The woman shook her head and said, "I can live until now because I am timid and have never gone out, so I can live until now." ”
The woman was telling the truth, she had been hiding in the stone house since she knew about the situation in the city, and only occasionally went out to see it during the day!
"I can't get out at all!" the woman's face was filled with despair and fear.
In the past ten days, the people around her have died one by one, if it weren't for the woman's strong will, I'm afraid she would either die or go crazy.
"You should know something about the ghost's attack methods, right?" said Yun Dong eagerly.
If they can understand the attacks of the ghosts, they can defend effectively, and then fight the ghosts, and maybe they can find something useful in it.
The woman thought for a moment, shook her head, and said, "I can only see a fleeting black shadow through the crack in the door, and then 。。。。。。 ”
The woman said, her body trembled violently, you can imagine a woman carefully looking out through the crack in the door, and suddenly saw more eyes looking at her, and everything outside the door was not a person, but a ghost, how terrible that scene was.
"Are you saying those ghosts are illusory?" Lei Junwei took a deep breath and looked terrified.
"That's right, when we arrived on the first day, we didn't know the situation here, we walked around the city, and finally at night, all those living people turned into phantoms to attack us, but because we were in the stone room, they couldn't attack us, and Li Qi was hot-tempered and rushed out with his demon beasts, but he also let us know that as long as we stayed in the stone room, those ghosts couldn't attack us, and this house was only found the day after we came here!"
"How many people were there when you came here?" Yun Dong asked.
The woman glanced at Yun Dong and said in a low voice: "There are nine in total, but now I am the only one left!"
"Is Long Xun with you?"
The woman nodded, and said with a gloomy expression: "Originally, there were actually seven of us left, but last night they wanted to venture out of the city, and they didn't take them until now, they must have been transformed into powerful ghosts!"
In fact, they were supposed to create the city gate together last night, but because this woman was timid and gave up at the last moment, she was able to live until now.
"Can it be transformed into a powerful ghost?" Ye Hao said with a solemn expression.
The woman nodded affirmatively, and her body trembled slightly and said, "It can be transformed, the night we came, Li Qi stood outside the door and wanted to tempt us out!"
When the woman thought of the original situation, her expression was full of fear, and when she looked through the crack in the door, she saw that Li Qi's air holes were bleeding, and the blood was black, and her whole face looked hideous, as if she had suffered a lot of pain before she died.
"What are those soldiers?" Ye Hao asked with a serious expression as he stared at the woman's eyes.
When the woman heard this, she looked a little confused, shook her head and said, "I don't know what those soldiers are, but I can be sure that they are not ghosts, because even at night, they are still patrolling, but they also have an attitude of not asking about those ghosts." ”
Seeing that the woman's appearance didn't seem to be fake, Ye Hao nodded thoughtfully, but in order to be sure of this, he decided to stay in this stone house for one night and observe it carefully.
"You don't want to hit the attention of those soldiers, right?" the woman noticed Ye Hao's expression and said in surprise.
But thinking about the punch that Ye Hao sent just now, she was a little excited, if she could pretend to be those soldiers, it was really possible to get out of here, but for the strength of those soldiers, the aura exuded was very powerful, and it was probably not easy to take the armor from their hands, and although there were not many of those pairs of soldiers, there were at least ten, if they fought, ten together, I am afraid they would not be opponents, thinking of this, the woman's excited look slowly faded again.
"Why don't those ghosts dare to enter this stone house? I didn't find anything special in this stone house!" Yun Dong kept walking around in the stone house, looked around, and then said suspiciously.
No matter how he looked at this stone house, he didn't see any difference, if he had to say anything special, it was very firm, he tried it, even if he shot with all his strength, he couldn't leave a trace.
The white-gold light burst out from Ye Hao's eyes, and at this time, he could see clearly, this stone house was also shrouded in dense black runes, although there were much fewer black runes than the black runes on the city gate, but these black runes would definitely make the ghosts fearful, so they didn't dare to enter this stone house, for a moment, Ye Hao thought a lot, maybe this city is to trap these ghosts from existing.
Time was slowly passing, and in the blink of an eye, night had fallen.
Perhaps because of the presence of ghosts, this city does not have the slightest light at night, and it is still cloudy and windy, constantly making whirring sounds through the cracks in the door.
"Whew!"
Suddenly, outside the stone house, a huge wind blew, and even the temperature of the stone room was dropping, even with everyone's physique, they felt a trace of cold, and they also felt that something was staring at them.
"They're coming!"
Everyone kept approaching the stone gate, and finally Ye Hao clearly saw a pair of flashing cyan eyes, full of gloom and horror!
There was a white-gold light flashing in his eyes, and the appearance of the powerful ghost was gradually clear, this powerful ghost turned out to be the old man who was asked by Ye Hao during the day, but his face was very different from the kind appearance during the day, and there were black blood stains on the seven holes, and it looked chilling with the pair of huge fangs.
"Quack!" the ghost's voice was very harsh and breathtaking.
"Zizi!"
The tingling sound of the scalp kept sounding from the outside of the stone house, and finally the dark nails actually tried to reach through the crack in the door, but in the process, the nails were also constantly emitting white smoke, as if this room did not allow the power of the ghost to enter here.
