Chapter 158: Skeleton Puppet
"What's going on?" Qu Huaiyu touched the goosebumps on his arm and asked.
"It's ghosts, and there are a lot of them!" Yue Linglong opened her mouth and said.
She was a little depressed in her heart, along the way, just like Tang Seng learned the scriptures, she had gone through many hardships, so far she hadn't even caught a single hair, and now there was still a big trouble living in her body, and that Yun Ji was thinking about how to take away her body all the time.
"It should be those who came to die in the secret realm, this space is completely isolated from the outside world, people die in it, and their souls can't enter the ghosts, so they linger here." Nangong Jin said.
"Poor people, too! After death, you can't enter reincarnation, you can only be a lonely ghost. Nangong Xue said.
"There were demigods before that, and I didn't see a ghost come out, so it's not that I'm afraid of the soft!" Qu Huaiyu pursed his mouth and said.
"Yu'er, you should have a sense of reverence for the dead, don't be so rude, and besides, they have no malicious intent." Qu Huaiqing rarely reprimanded his sister.
"Oh! Got it! Qu Huaiyu replied whimsily.
"Huhu~" The yin wind gusted, it seemed to be even colder than before, and there were many shadows in the dense forest, and there seemed to be many black shadows flickering.
"Well, which of you would do this?" Yue Linglong asked.
"No, it won't." Nangong Jin shook his head and said.
"I won't either, but Mo Han may have a way." Qu Huaiqi continued.
"Everybody won't, so can we go over?" Yue Linglong asked again.
"Huhu~" The ghosts seemed to be very angry, and there was a gust of wind blowing around, blowing so that people's eyes couldn't open it, the temperature around them dropped a few degrees again, and there were shadows in the distance, and black shadows kept flashing.
"We didn't say we wouldn't help you, but we didn't know what to do? We are now in a hurry to save an older brother, who has a way to help you. Qu Huaiyu said loudly.
The wind stopped abruptly, the black shadow disappeared, and the surroundings returned to their previous appearance.
"Great! When we rescue my brother, we will definitely come back to help you. Qu Huaiyu said excitedly.
"Huhu~" blew a gust of wind again, which seemed to be an answer to Qu Huaiyu.
"Let's go!" After Yue Linglong finished speaking, he took the first step towards the depths of the woods.
Nangong Jin walked a few steps and walked in front of Yue Linglong, and several people continued to walk forward.
The five demigod beasts before should have harmed a lot of people, the further they went, the more skeletons there were, some of them were piled up with several skeletons, some were a skeleton leaning alone next to the tree, the sky was also gray, and only the slight footsteps of a few people could be heard, and the atmosphere seemed a little dull and depressing.
After walking for about an hour, Yue Linglong and the others finally walked out of the forest, and along the way, several people were no longer attacked by demonic beasts.
As soon as Nangong Jin took one foot, the surrounding space fluctuated, causing a circle of ripples, and Yue Linglong and the others were shrouded in the ripples before they could react, and after a while, the ripples disappeared, but there were no Yue Linglong and a few people in place.
Yue Linglong felt dizzy for a while, she had experienced this familiar feeling many times, and she was still a little uncomfortable, and after the dizziness passed, what caught the eyes of several people was a huge stone door, there were two huge stone lions next to the door, the stone lion carving was lifelike, even every hair was clearly visible, at first glance, it looked like a living thing.
"What kind of place is this? Did we enter the teleportation array again? Qu Huaiyu asked.
"This should be our destination." Nangong Jin replied.
"Is Brother Chu really here?" Nangong Xue furrowed her delicate eyebrows and asked suspiciously.
"Boom~" The stone door made a dull sound, and suddenly opened, It seemed to be waiting for the arrival of a few people, and the sudden movement broke the conversation of several people, and Yue Linglong looked inside.
I saw that behind the stone gate was a wide and deep passage, I don't know where it leads? The two sides of the passage are inlaid with night pearls the size of fists, and the entire passage is as bright as day, and even the ground is paved with jade, which looks extremely luxurious.
Yue Linglong frowned slightly, she was very uninterested in this kind of passage, she had walked through it twice before, each time it was full of crises, and the last time she caused a big trouble, and now she is still in her sea of knowledge.
"Wow! Who is so rich? So many night pearls! None of our Flying Sword Sect have such luxury. Qu Huaiyu slammed his mouth and said.
"Shall we go in?" Qu Huaiqing asked.
Suddenly, a white shadow flashed in the passage, and he walked straight to the depths of the passage, his figure was tall and straight, and his back looked very much like Chu Mohan.
"Brother Han, it's Brother Han." Qu Huaiyu shouted.
"It doesn't have to be him!" Yue Linglong said lightly.
"It's not Brother Han, who could it be?" Qu Huaiyu asked suspiciously.
She suddenly remembered the thousand faces, felt a cold on her back, cold sweat broke out, and she couldn't help but touch the goosebumps on her arms.
"Whoever it is? We've all walked here, we're definitely going to go in and have a look, maybe Mo Han is inside. Yue Linglong said coldly.
"I just don't know what the Thousand Faces brought us here for?" Nangong Jin asked.
"Whatever his purpose, we're going to find Mohan." Yue Linglong said.
"That's right! We'll definitely find Brother Han. Qu Huaiyu said firmly.
Yue Linglong looked at Qu Huaiyu's innocent smiling face, as if she was touched by something, it has been some time since she came to this other world, and she has gained so much friendship, this is something she couldn't think of when she was a killer.
"Let's go! Even if there is a tiger's den in Longtan in front, we have to break through. After Qu Huaiqi finished speaking, he stepped into the stone gate.
Yue Linglong and the others followed, and Nangong Jin walked last, vigilantly paying attention to the movements around him.
"Boom~" When Nangong Jin stepped into the stone gate, the stone gate suddenly closed, and a stone gate, two worlds, was completely isolated from the outside world.
Qu Huaiyu glanced back, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but Yue Linglong and the others ignored the closed stone door, as if all this had been expected.
The night pearls on both sides of the passage flashed with bright light, the entire passage was as bright as day, Yue Linglong and a few people walked forward unhurriedly, no one spoke, and the echo of the footsteps of several people came from behind them, as if something was following them closely, making people feel a little worried!
The further you walked in, more and more corpses began to appear on both sides of the passage, and the flesh on them had rotted and turned into skeletons.
"These people should be monks who went to the secret realm before, but unfortunately they didn't go out." Nangong Jin said regretfully.
"It's a pity, the people who came in were all some heavenly pride, if there was no fall, the current Xuantian Continent should have a place for them." Nangong Xue said.
I don't know if it's Qu Huaiyu's illusion? She always felt like the skeletons could stand up at any moment, and the black hole in their eyes was full of evil.
The further she walked in, the more skeletons there were in the passage, and Qu Huaiyu had an illusion that this was a road to death, as if there were many pairs of eyes staring at them viciously, and the feeling of being on her back made her spine chill and goosebumps all over her body.
Suddenly, Qu Huaiyu saw a trace of red light flashing in the black hole of the skeleton on the right, staring at herself evilly, she suddenly looked at the skeleton, but found nothing.
"Yu'er, what's wrong with you?" Nangong Jin asked suspiciously.
"I just saw a flash of red light in the skeleton's eyehole, and it always felt like the skeletons were staring at us." Qu Huaiyu said.
"I had that feeling before, and I thought it was my delusion." Nangong Xue said.
Yue Linglong and the three of them glanced at each other, exchanged glances, and then protected Nangong Xue and Qu Huaiyu in the middle, took out their weapons, and vigilantly paid attention to the movements around them, the deep passage was extremely quiet, and only the slight exhalation of a few people could be heard.
"Click~" The sound of a joint twisting came into the ears of several people, and it was particularly clear in the quiet passage, and a skeleton staggered to stand up in the surprised gaze of Yue Linglong and several others.
"Click~Click~" The skeletons that were originally lying on the ground all stood up, bubbling with a trace of black gas, and the eyes of the original black hole flashed with a strange red light, exuding an evil aura, and the entire passage was ghostly.
"Fraud...... Cheated corpse! Qu Huaiyu shouted in horror.
"Squeak, squeak~" Those skeletons moved, the bones rubbed against the jade ground, making a tooth-souring sound, and the skeletons stretched out their bone claws and grabbed Yue Linglong and the others.
"Click~" The sound of bones shattering sounded, and Nangong Jin raised the long sword in his hand and split the nearest skeleton in half.
Qu Huaiqing and a few people also joined the battle, more and more skeletons rushed over, both sides of the passage were blocked, and Yue Linglong and several people were besieged in the middle, in a dilemma.
"What the hell are these things?" Qu Huaizhen asked as he waved his long whip.
"It should be a puppet, these skeletons are not conscious, there must be a black hand behind them who is secretly manipulating." Yue Linglong explained.
At the same time, a whip was swung, and the flames on the fire phoenix whip flashed, sweeping down a large number of skeletons each time.
"Giggle~" The skeleton opened its mouth, let out a weird laugh, and densely rushed towards Yue Linglong and the others, seeing that Yue Linglong's activity space was getting narrower and narrower.
"Huhu~" Yue Linglong hurriedly summoned the Netherworld Heart Fire and the Chaos Golden Flame, and shot out a flame on each side of the passage, and as soon as those skeletons encountered a strange fire, they instantly turned into nothing.
Qu Huaiqing wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
"It's horrible! Fortunately, there is a strange fire from the master, otherwise we would be miserable! Qu Huaiyu said breathlessly.
"Giggle~" terrifying laughter lingers in the passage, filling people's eardrums, making people creepy!
"Don't be too happy, it's just an appetizer, everyone get ready for battle." Yue Linglong admonished.
