Chapter 542: Skeletons in the Mist, Yin Bells
After a few turns, the road ahead gradually widened.
This spaciousness is relative, only compared to the narrowness of the resting place just now. The road was still potholed, and it was still difficult for two people to walk side by side, so they could only keep the column moving forward.
As he walked, Tang Hongying, who was in front of me, the fat man and the amorous, suddenly stopped. She pricked up her ears like a rabbit and turned her head to look at us.
"Listen! Do you hear me? ”
I didn't know why, so I pricked up my ears.
There seemed to be a "buzzing" roar in the air, vaguely like some unknown animal burrowing, and like an inexplicable echo in the mountain.
I don't know if the sound came from the front or from the rear, giving people a faint sense of oppression. Other than that, nothing.
Qian Zhiqiang also stopped, and he asked Tang Hongying.
"Hongying, what did you hear?"
"It's like a child, it's a child's laughter......
Tang Hongying said with some doubts.
Looking at the watch, the time is now three o'clock in the morning. In the middle of the night, how could there be children in the tunnels in this mountain? She must have heard it wrong!
In addition to me, the fat man, the amorous, and the other disciples of the Nafu Hall also said that they did not hear.
Tang Hongying seemed to take a long breath, she shook her head a little self-deprecatingly, and said that maybe she heard it wrong, let's continue to go.
The group walked on for a while, and she stopped again, and the expression on her face began to change strangely again, and she said, Listen, and the sound of bells.
I feel that it was because Tang Hongying was too nervous in the fierce fight just now, although after meditating and adjusting her qi, her body was relaxed, but her nerves were still tense, and we were walking in the depressing mountain tunnel, so I had auditory hallucinations.
So he comforted her, saying that it was normal for there to be echoes in this valley, maybe the sound of the mountain stream flowing and some sounds outside the mountain were mixed together, which made you think about it, don't think so much.
The group then hit the road, turning two more corners, and there was a faint glow of fire in front of them.
The road beneath his feet suddenly more than doubled wider, straight enough for three or four adults to walk side by side, like a bomb shelter.
Look around, on the wall not far ahead. There were torches, a few things that looked like torches, to be exact.
Looking closely, everyone couldn't help but gasp and feel creepy.
I saw that the "torches" that appeared on the wall turned out to be several skulls that were constantly emitting dark green flames. Their faces were hideous, and most of them were embedded in the stone walls, leaving only a large mouth and two hollow eye sockets.
The green ghost fire wrapped around the surface of the skull, and the flames rose and fell faintly, swaying, reflecting the surrounding areas with a beating and strange light......
Under the flickering of this strange light, a faint mist slowly drifted in from directly ahead, like a tide surrounding us.
Under the illumination of the ghost shark scales, the front, back, left and right instantly became chaotic.
The drifting mist surged silently, gradually diffusing to the skeletons on the walls that emitted dark green flames, in a trance, like a layer of steaming mist, and like the now popular PS blur filter, indescribably weird.
I don't know if it was affected, but I felt the temperature around me drop by several degrees, as if I had suddenly fallen into an ice cellar.
"Jingle bell...... Jingle bell ......"
"Hey...... Hey, hey, hey......"
In the haze, I seemed to hear the crisp sound of a bell in my ears, and even the laughter of a child!
The bell was not loud, if it seemed to be nothing, it rang suddenly, but it revealed an indescribable weirdness. It felt like I was covered in some kind of object, crisp and dull, in a trance.
And the child's laughter was even stranger, with a hint of hoarseness, that seemed to come from behind us......
I chuckled in my heart, and immediately understood that what Tang Hongying just said was not wrong, and my back felt cold.
Turning back sharply, I saw behind us, I don't know when a faint point of light had appeared, under the surge of mist, like a swimming lantern, vague.
At the moment when I turned around, this point of light began to move at high speed, and with a "whoosh" sound, it struck from behind everyone, startling me a lot!
What surprised me wasn't its assault, but the speed of the light, unbelievably fast. Before I could react, it slipped straight under its feet into the crowd.
At this moment, I saw that the light it emitted was obviously different from the ghost shark scales, revealing a strange halo, like a flashlight that was about to run out of power.
In the blink of an eye, this halo appeared on the shoulders of a Nafu Hall disciple who was walking side by side with me!
Although its speed is incredible, I can still see it clearly with the light emitted by the ghost shark scales!
I saw that on the shoulder of that Nafu Hall disciple, there was a child lying on his stomach!
The child was at most a year or two old, and the skin on a round baby face was blown, but the color was extremely pale, like a floating corpse that had been blistered.
The most striking thing is that there are two very small bells hanging on the earlobes of the child's ears, like a pair of strange earrings, which jingle with his shaking, and the bells ring.
He was naked, like a reptile, with a hideous expression on his face, staring at me viciously, with an unconcealed evil in his eyes, and even a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth.
Under my gaze, the child's mouth suddenly opened, and the upper and lower jaws opened and closed in an instant the size of a head, like a large hole, revealing two rows of fine black fangs, and those who looked at it shuddered.
He took a hard bite and gnawed down on the neck of the Nafu Hall disciple!
But the Nafu Hall disciple who was next to me didn't notice it, he frowned and looked at me with an inexplicable expression......
Saving people is important, and my ability to react in a critical moment is far beyond my imagination.
At the same time as I secretly screamed badly, a four-way change of Arhat seal had already formed in my heart, and I pushed forward with one palm and slapped it on the shoulder of the Nafu Hall disciple.
The kid seemed to have expected me to make a move, but he didn't stop, his body flickered, and in an instant, he turned into an afterimage, slipped off the target's shoulder, passed through everyone in a blink of an eye, and disappeared into the fog in front of him......
This kind of speed is unprecedented for me before, even compared to what I saw at the Taishan Summit, the eldest Liang Lan in the Three Treasures of Nage Soap is several times faster, which can be called invisible and beyond cognition.
It even made me doubt for a while, I felt like I was hallucinating, and everything just now didn't happen, just imagination......
