Chapter 341: Ten Thousand Ghosts Gather
At some point, an altar was erected in the central clearing of a sparse grove outside the East City Gate.
The altar is not large, but it is also very simple, it is an ordinary wooden table, and on the table is placed incense, candles, rune paper and other very common props for practical activities.
However, one of the big red candles as thick as a baby's arm and nearly a meter long is very attention-grabbing.
The great candle was in the center of the wooden table, the top had been lit, a fist-sized flame was burning quietly, and the night wind howling through the forest had no effect on it, no matter how strong the wind was, it was straight upwards and motionless.
What's even more bizarre is the light it emits, other candles are dim with a little pale, but it is different, what it escapes is a rich white light, not pale, but white with the warm color of jade.
The brightness of this layer of white light far exceeded the light it should emit, illuminating the surrounding space of dozens of square meters, and from a distance, it looked like a huge searchlight in the woods.
And it was this white light that attracted the seemingly endless variety of ghosts in Ninghai City.
At this time, in a world that is invisible to the naked eye of normal people, a group of ghosts howled and rushed towards the grove east of the city, with a scarlet light in their eyes, and the crazy hunger and thirst reflected in it made people shudder.
The huge movement caused by this group of ghosts even caused many people in the city who were not aware of them to suddenly panic inexplicably, as if some kind of great horror had suddenly appeared around them.
After these ghosts penetrated the city gate, they merged into a torrent on the official road outside the city and rushed forward, which was overwhelming.
Seeing the group of ghosts surging outward, Ye Han's figure also flashed, and then suddenly appeared outside the grove.
She stood lightly on the top of a pine tree with a thick embrace, quietly watching the great drama that was about to be staged below.
Others may not be able to find out, but she can see through the secrets of this forest at a glance.
I saw that on the top of the canopy of this forest were densely scattered countless slender red lines, which formed a huge net, covering the whole grove, but because of the darkness of the night, these red lines were thin, so it was extremely difficult for people to detect.
The altar where the strange candle was located happened to be in the middle of this giant red wire net, and the light it emitted could lure the ghosts to go crazy, it was obviously some kind of bait.
This is someone who made such an arrangement to get rid of the ghost disaster in Ninghai City.
As for the person who set up the formation, Ye Han had already discovered it, he was on a horizontal branch of a pine tree in front of Ye Han, and at this time he was looking intently in the direction of Ninghai City, and there was a faint blue light in his tiger eyes.
It's just that he didn't notice Ye Han, who stopped behind him and was looking at him with interest.
At this time, the group of ghosts that swarmed out of the city were about to reach the grove, and the closer they got to the grove, the more eager their eyes became, and the more crazy their expressions became, as if the white light emitted by the candle was the most extreme delicacy to them.
Soon, the waves at the front of this torrent of ghosts surged around this candle, and these ghosts who arrived first looked at the candle greedily, and then they stood around and began to breathe desperately, and the white light emitted by the candle turned into wisps of white silk in their breath and breath, and entered the bodies of these ghosts.
With every wisp of white, the hideous faces of these ghosts will appear intoxicated, as if the smoker had tasted the finest tobacco.
As the ghost land continued to pour in, the space around this small altar was gradually crowded, and later, these ghost objects were even stacked, and the last ones climbed to the first one, and finally formed a ghost mountain in the center of this small forest. new
However, even so, there was still a steady stream of ghosts that could not find a foothold, and could only roar anxiously near this ghost mountain, and there were more and more such ghosts, gradually filling this grove.
All of a sudden, all the ghosts gathered, and if any ordinary person opened his eyes and saw this terrifying scene, he would probably faint immediately.
At this moment, a loud rumbling sound came from outside the forest, and with this sound there was a slight vibration.
A moment later, the originator of the noise also appeared.
It's a huge three-story thing! I saw that it had green fangs, rotten sores on its head, a huge mouth of blood basin wide open, and sticky and fishy saliva continued to flow from it to its high bulging cyan belly.
Its limbs are also very strange, its lower limbs are extremely thick, like cracked dead tree roots dragging on the ground, whenever it lifts up and steps down, there will be a loud noise accompanied by vibrations, and its upper limbs are extremely thin, like two thin bamboo poles, which are very incompatible with its huge size.
The appearance of the giant ghost made the ghosts in the woods panic, it seemed that they were all afraid of it, not only the ghosts in the forest, the man hidden on the top of the pine tree also looked stunned after seeing the giant ghost appear, and then the blue light in his eyes became more and more constricted, until it was invisible, thinking that he was also afraid of disturbing the giant ghost.
As soon as the giant ghost entered the woods, he headed straight for the place where the altar was, and all the other ghosts that saw it fled in terror to make way for it.
But there are too many ghosts gathered here, some of the ghosts that don't come to avoid are screaming and being kicked away by it, and some are directly stepped on by it and turned into flying ashes, and for a while, the area where it is located is in chaos.
Ignoring the chaos, the giant ghost drove straight in, and soon came to the ghost mountain. Looking at the mountains of ghosts stacked in front of him, and feeling the extreme temptation coming from inside, the giant ghost was furious.
It first opened its huge mouth and howled violently, as if to drive away the ghosts in the ghost mountain in front of it.
But the weak creatures who usually avoided it when they saw it turned a blind eye to its threat, and still piled up there motionless to absorb the white light emitted by the candle.
Seeing the unmoved ghost mountain in front of him, the giant ghost was completely enraged. I saw it roar again, and then it directly raised a giant leg and kicked towards the ghost mountain in front of it!
"Boom!"
In the epicenter of the lifeless drama, the ghost mountain was kicked by it and broke a small half, especially the foothold of the giant foot, and a large hole directly appeared, and the ghosts stacked on it screamed and fell down, huddled together at the feet of the giant ghost.
Looking at the white pearl light in the hole that was kicked by himself, the fierce eyes of the giant ghost revealed a strong color of greed, and I saw that its giant legs kicked randomly, and it completely kicked the ghost mountain away, and countless ghosts were kicked away by it.
Under the ravages of the trolls, these ghosts, who were silent in the delicacy of the white candlelight, finally came to their senses, and fled in terror, and after escaping some distance, they stopped unwillingly, and continued to look back at the white light greedily.
It's just that they didn't dare to get close to the candle anymore, so they could only breathe hard from a distance, absorbing the white light emitted by the candle at a speed of more than ten times faster than before, and the central position was monopolized by the giant ghost.
Gradually, the situation in the forest stabilized, the giant ghost greedily absorbed the white light in the center, while the other ghosts piled up on its periphery, stretching out their bodies to absorb it, and the farther ghosts that could not absorb the white light spun around like headless flies.
Time passed, and the candle slowly shortened, and when it burned nearly normally, the man who had been lurking in the pine tree finally moved.
I saw him quietly touch out a red rune paper, and as the rune paper appeared, the red silk threads that spread all over the top of the forest began to glow slightly.
