Chapter 128: Stepping on the Shadows
"This place is really getting more and more evil, I don't know if those old monsters have followed up."
"However, since everyone has been randomly dispersed, those old monsters shouldn't be able to control me."
Wang Pu thought in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
The strength of those old monsters is too terrifying, and they can't figure it out at all.
He felt like an ant, being watched from above, but unable to look up and see each other, thinking differently in the same dimension.
It's a terrible feeling.
It's a bit similar to facing Mr. Ling and legal Lori Chen Xuejing.
Now that there is no surveillance, the whole person is suddenly much more relaxed.
However, this should be the realm of nightmare opened up by the Hell Bodhisattva, which must be dangerous, and it can't be too careless.
Wang Pu picked up a stone, drew a mark in place, and then left the place and headed for the cave ahead.
Along the way, Wang Pu is also observing the surrounding environment.
This is the Nightmare Realm, but it is different from the Nightmare Realm he entered under Mr. Ling's psychic channeling, it is more like a secret realm.
The Nightmare Realm that he and Mr. Ling entered was filled with an unpleasant negative smell in the air, as if every time they breathed, their lungs would be filled with negative energy.
And the air here is normal, even fresh.
The only thing they have in common is that they are full of fog and cannot be seen from a little distance. I don't know if it's the special style of the Nightmare Realm.
After walking a distance, there was no danger.
Just when Wang Pu was thinking like this in his heart, in the fog ahead, a light suddenly lit up.
Wang Pu's eyes lit up, he held his breath, his body pressed against the cave wall, and more cautiously sneaked towards the place where the light was on.
It's so quiet here, and it's a bit out of the way to be a part of the Nightmare Realm, or rather a part of the Nightmare Realm.
There was an abnormality, but it made Wang Pu's heart perk.
Wang Pu cautiously approached the light, and soon heard footsteps.
Something seemed to be moving back and forth in the thick fog ahead.
But soon, the footsteps faded away.
The light moved with it.
At this distance, it was enough for Wang Pu to see the environment ahead.
Seeing the light clearly, Wang Pu couldn't help frowning, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
Ahead, I saw a white lantern floating in the air without anyone lifting it.
It's like a ghost lamp, hovering in the air.
As the lantern moved, there was a sound of footsteps, as if a transparent person was moving with the lantern.
It has an eerie atmosphere.
It's a nightmare.
Wang Pu was already sure in his heart that there was a negative aura unique to nightmares, floating from the lantern.
It's just, what kind of strange nightmare is this, the lantern ghost?
Wang Pu was separated by a distance, his muscles were tense, he was ready to defend, his eyes stared sharply at the floating lantern in front of him, and he did not act rashly.
This nightmare is peculiar, having both a physical lantern and a body that seems to be invisible.
He wasn't sure if the nightmare's body was transparent, or if the footsteps were mere footsteps.
Or maybe the lantern is a prop.
This nightmare, let's call it Lantern Nightmare for the time being.
Lantern Nightmare didn't seem to notice Wang Pu, and was still floating forward on his own.
Wang Pu cautiously followed behind from a distance, wanting to see where this lantern nightmare was going.
But it didn't take long for Wang Pu to notice something unusual, and there was a suspicious look in his eyes.
I saw the lantern in front of me, suddenly left and right, up and down, up and down, and even the footsteps under the lantern suddenly became ethereal.
Not good, it was discovered.
Wang Pu's expression froze, his footsteps stopped, and his body retreated, wanting to temporarily retreat under the cover of the thick fog, not wanting to conflict with this lantern nightmare.
He didn't know the abilities and strength of this lantern nightmare, and it might not be beneficial for him to fight rashly.
It's just that Wang Pu is unwilling to conflict, which doesn't mean that Lantern Nightmare is willing to let him go.
Just when Wang Pu wanted to retreat, he saw that above the white lantern, the flames suddenly flickered, and suddenly emitted a bright light, penetrating the dense fog, shining on Wang Pu's body, and projecting a narrow shadow on the ground.
At the same time, the sound of hurried footsteps rushed towards Wang Pu.
Wang Pu's face changed, and he didn't have time to run, so he had to do it.
He was on guard, his mind was highly concentrated, he listened carefully to the sound of the footsteps rushing over, his right fist raised, and the fist was full of Vajra strength, and he struck straight ahead, trying to intercept the Lantern Nightmare.
As a result, Wang Pu pounced.
Contrary to what he had envisioned, the Lantern Nightmare had no transparent body, and seemed to be composed of simply lanterns and footsteps.
The next moment, Wang Pu's face changed greatly.
Footsteps passed him and sounded behind him.
At the same time, Wang Pu felt as if his body had been trampled on, as if he had a pair of indistinct feet, kicking him heavily and hard.
And his body seemed to be inexplicably restrained, and he couldn't move for a while.
What's going on?
Wang Pu's heart sank, and he endured invisible kicks and blows, even if his King Kong was strong and strengthened his body, he couldn't bear it anymore, blood began to appear on his arms, and there were bursts of pain in his stomach.
What kind of weird ability is this, this footsteps, is it an attack?
Unable to move at the moment, Wang Pu hurriedly analyzed the attack method of the Lantern Nightmare, and had to find out how the Lantern Nightmare attacked him in order to find a way to crack it.
No, footsteps were ringing behind him, this nightmare, stepping on his shadow.
Soon, Wang Pu sensed the Lantern Nightmare's attack.
Footsteps kept ringing behind him, and they didn't step on him.
The footsteps are stepping on his shadow.
Then I thought of the sudden glow of a lantern in the distance.
Obviously, Lantern Nightmare uses light to cast his shadow on the ground, and then uses footsteps to trample on his shadow to attack him.
The ancients believed in ghosts and gods, they believed that the human body is yang, the shadow is yin, and the shadow is a person's soul, an image of a person, and is related to man as one.
Some people even believe that if a person's shadow is stepped on by others, he will not grow tall, and may even lose his life.
In the past, some people would pay people to secretly step on the shadow of their enemies, or cut the shadow of their enemies with knives, so as to achieve the goal of revenge.
In the funeral, there are also many taboos about shadows.
For example, when covering the coffin lid of the deceased, you must be careful not to let your shadow be covered in the coffin; When buried, people should stay away from the grave, so that the shadow does not separate from the body, or be pressed into the grave by the coffin, which will bring bad luck to themselves.
