"This kind of thing, take one step at a time."

As I spoke, I looked at the Tujia people around me, including a middle-aged man with a bearded face.

I have a slight impression of him, this person is Ganlan's father.

"What now? Will these people be okay? I asked Yan Xiaoying.

"There should be no big problem, being manipulated by the yin spirit, the sequelae is the weakness of the body, the loss of too much yang energy, you can wake up after a while." Yan Xiaoying replied.

She sat on a stone bench next to her, leaned on her body, and continued softly, "We'll wait for them to wake up, and then we'll find a way to go out together." ”

"Actually, I think it's a little strange, why do these people come here one by one, what is there in the jade corridor that attracts them?"

"They were looking for Sansheng Grass, that jade was a meteorite that fell from the sky."

I was wondering when a voice suddenly appeared in my head, this voice was tender and crisp, with a thick childlike voice.

"Who's talking?"

I was taken aback and looked around vigilantly, looking for the source of the sound.

"What's wrong?"

Yan Xiaoying looked at me puzzled and asked strangely.

"Did you just hear a kid talking?"

"The child is talking? Nope! ”

Yan Xiaoying frowned and said, "Except for you and me here, these people around me haven't woken up yet, who is talking?" You don't think you're having auditory hallucinations, are you? ”

"It's not an auditory hallucination, the voice says that this strange jade in front of us is a meteorite that fell from the sky, and the three-life grass is in it." I explained.

"Children's voice? Could it be the ghost boy in the mountain whip? Yan Xiaoying stared at the mountain whip in my hand and said in surprise.

"I devoured those Yin Spirits, fused their memories, and learned that the reason why they manipulated these people to come here was to get the Sansheng Grass, and ...... The person who instructed them was none other than Lin Miao, who brought you here before! ”

At this time, the immature children's voice sounded again.

This time, the children's voice did not ring in my head, but came directly from the mountain whip.

As Yan Xiaoying guessed, this voice was made by the ghost boy.

"You mean, these yin spirits are controlled by Lin Miao?" Yan Xiaoying was only slightly surprised by the voice of the ghost boy in the mountain whip, and then asked.

"Yes, in their memory, it was Lin Miao who made the human skin lantern and sealed their souls in the lantern, and with the help of the ghost lantern as a parasite, they can exist in the yang world for a long time, just like I am now staying in the mountain whip."

"I see."

Yan Xiaoying suddenly realized: "No wonder when we encountered a monitor lizard in Shiwu Village before, he suddenly disappeared. I was about to strike when I met someone with a ghost lantern, but he suddenly appeared and stopped me. ”

"You've met these people before?" I asked, surprised.

Yan Xiaoying nodded and said, "Yes, we met them in Shiwu Village before, and I saw that something was wrong with them at that time. I wanted to make a move, but Lin Miao suddenly stopped me, and he didn't explain anything to me at that time......"

"So that's the case, he needs Sansheng Grass to lift his curse, he must be prepared, even if he can't come here, but he can still use some means." I muttered to myself.

"You say...... The jade in front of me is an extraterrestrial meteorite, what is going on? I asked, frowning, looking at the mountain whip.

"This burial lake was originally a crater." The voice of the ghost boy came from within the mountain whip.

"This meteorite is very strange, the outside is covered with a layer of black cold rock, that rock is the material for building the stone tower, after the Gaoshan people settled here, they found this meteorite underground, they wanted to mine this meteorite, but inside the meteorite, there is a strange creature, that creature is the mutated nematode you saw on the monitor lizard."

"Those nematodes live inside meteorites? That is, they were creatures that did not belong to the earth in the first place? "I was taken aback.

"I don't know!"

It seems that the ghost boy is right, after the defeat of the Gaoshan tribe, the remnants migrated here, and they were bent on revenge, and happened to find a huge jade stone under the bottom of this lake.

In ancient times, jade was worth more than gold, and they were naturally ecstatic when they saw this piece of jade, and they wanted to mine it as capital for revival, but they didn't expect that it was not jade at all, but a meteorite.

In the process of mining, some villagers were burrowed into their bodies by the nematodes inside the meteorite where they lived, and then their bodies began to mutate. As seen on the reliefs before, they grew red hair, lost their minds, and killed their own kind.

"It's not a curse at all, it's an invasion of space creatures." I said to Yan Xiaoying in shock.

Yan Xiaoying smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect it to be like this, it is estimated that the so-called three-life grass is not something from our earth." ”

The ghost boy told us that beyond this meteorite is the burial lake, and maybe there will be a way out inside.

But......

"Who is sneaking around and peeping at us, come out!"

At this moment, Yan Xiaoying, who was sitting on the stone bench, suddenly let out a soft voice. When I looked again, I saw that she had pulled a man out of behind the pile of rubble with a rope.

The man was pulled by the corpse rope thrown out by Yan Xiaoying, and fell directly in front of us.

I looked down and saw that this person had long hair, a slender body, and was wearing the clothes of the Tujia people, and he looked very familiar.

"Brother Tianyan...... Sister Ying......"

She slowly raised her head, revealing a face that I knew all the most.

"Ganlan! How did you end up here? ”

Seeing her appearance clearly, I was immediately shocked and hurriedly walked over to help her up.

Ganlan looked unusually embarrassed at this time, her clothes were in tatters, her hair was messy, especially on her forehead, there was a terrible wound, and the blood stained her sideburns and half of her face red.

Yan Xiaoying staggered to her feet, stared at Gan Lan and frowned, and asked, "What's the matter?" Wasn't you captured by the Red-Haired Monster before? ”

"I ......"

Gan Lan looked at us, her eyes turned red, and she suddenly began to cry.

"Don't ask so much first, it's important to bandage her quickly to stop the bleeding."

As I spoke, I found my medicine box.

In the process of bandaging Ganlan, she told the story intermittently.

It turned out that she was pulled into the copper pillar by the red-haired monster, and her head was smashed, and then she fainted and exhausted, only knowing that she was being dragged by the red-haired monster to move constantly and come to an underground undercurrent.

At that time, she had gradually sobered up, and took advantage of the monster's inattention, struggled to break free, and jumped into the dark river. She was swept away by the current, and soon after was sucked into a whirlpool in the undercurrent, waking up to find herself lying on the edge of an inlet river.

Later, she saw the people who had been manipulated by the human skin lanterns, and she followed them all the way here.

When Yan Xiaoying and I attacked those people, she was already hiding in the dark......

"I see, what about the red-haired monsters?" Yan Xiaoying asked.

"I don't know......" Gan Lan shook her head, her brow furrowed, and her face full of pain.

After a few minutes, someone from the Gaoshan tribe who had passed out finally woke up, and then the others woke up one after another.

These people, Gan Lan was in charge of explaining, talking, and when they were calmed down, it was already half an hour later.

However, accidents always happen unexpectedly, and while we are discussing how to get out of this ghost place, a group of uninvited guests appear.

At first, a scream sounded, and a Gaoshan tribesman standing relatively far away was torn apart by a red-haired monster that appeared silently.

Then, one after another, people were attacked by red-haired monsters, and I don't know how many red-haired monsters appeared around, but I felt that in the dark, there were bloodthirsty and murderous eyes staring at us everywhere.

In just one photo, seven or eight people were killed.

Yan Xiaoying and I also encountered a sneak attack by a red-haired monster, but fortunately, Yan Xiaoying reacted quickly, although her shoulder was scratched, but she was tied up with a corpse.

Then she waved her palms and slapped them on the red-haired monster's body, only to hear the sound of bones breaking. A moment later, the red-haired monster was lying limp like a puddle of mud, but a pair of vicious eyes were fixed on us.

Yan Xiaoying displayed a set of broken bone palms, and her body could no longer support it. She was already injured, and she had fought with the Tujia people who had been controlled by the Yin Spirit in the human skin lantern before, and at this time she had reached the point where the oil lamp was exhausted.

At this time, the ghost boy did not need to be summoned by me, and automatically appeared from the mountain whip, and the sharp ghost claws penetrated the chest of the red-haired monster at once, grabbing a bloody heart.

It opened its mouth and swallowed the heart, and the bloody scene made my face change dramatically.

Ever since the ghost boy devoured the Yin Spirit of the Gaoshan Clan, his temperament had become extremely ferocious, and it was completely different from the first time he saw those ghost children before.

After digging out the heart of the red-haired monster and swallowing it, it screamed and rushed towards the red-haired monsters rushing from all directions.

Compared to the Red-Haired Monster, it is more bloodthirsty.

Seeing that it did not hurt the Tujia people, I breathed a sigh of relief, although the ghost boy was cruel and bloodthirsty, after all, he still had a little conscience and knew how to distinguish friend from foe.

I walked over and helped Yan Xiaoying, who was so weak that he couldn't even stand on his feet.

At this time, the Tujia people finally reacted, after all, they were all hunters, and they had also hunted mountain spirits, and they began to fight back at this time.

Someone with a bow and arrow on his back bent his bow to shoot monsters.

If you don't have a weapon, pick up rocks on the spot and smash them wildly.

The scene was chaotic for a while, screams, wails, and cries mixed together, and the water under the ground was dyed red with blood in a short time.

Thanks to the protection of the ghost boy, the red-haired monsters that rushed towards us were stopped by it.

But there are countless red-haired monsters, even the ghost boy who is a yin spirit and has greatly increased his strength can't resist it, let alone the rest of the Tujia people.

Seeing them lying in a pool of blood one by one, and their numbers getting smaller and smaller, my eyes were red, and I was about to rush out with my mountain whip.

"Don't be impulsive......"

Yan Xiaoying stopped me and said weakly: "There are too many red-haired monsters, I can't fight hard......"

"Everyone, run!"

At this time, Gan Lan didn't know when he got into the meteorite tunnel, and was waving his hand to beckon the remaining Tujia people to get in and avoid the red-haired monster.

There were still seven or eight Tujia people still alive in the field, and at this time, when they heard Gan Lan's greeting, they swarmed into the meteorite passage, and one more person was torn apart by the red-haired monster.

Seeing this, I helped Yan Xiaoying to retreat into the meteorite passage, and a monster rushed over, and I raised my whip to smash it back, but my arm was scratched......
