The sky was overcast and heavy, without a trace of starlight and moonlight.

It was dark all around.

In this dark environment, there are a few strange trees that are crooked and slanted from time to time.

There was not a single leaf on these trees, and the bare branches stretched diagonally in the night, giving people a distorted feeling.

Carter Sleigh shook his head and said, "Three hundred years later, this place is still the same as before, it has never changed. ”

Johnny looked at Carter in the darkness in surprise and said, "So, you've lived for three hundred years?" ”

"Theoretically, Ghost Rider is immortal. As long as the hellfire in your body is not extinguished. It's just that I've been suppressing the hellfire in my body for so many years, and I have barely transformed again. As a result, a large part of the hellfire has been expelled from my body. The remaining glimmer of hellfire is only enough for me to transform this time. ”

Carter Slay said in a relieved tone.

All these years, he had been waiting for such an opportunity to completely destroy that scroll and see the other ghost riders grow up at the same time.

Today, it's finally time.

St. Van Gonza was large, and at this time they were still far from the center of St. Van Gonza.

This is a grove on the edge of St. Vangonza.

The woods had been burned down since the fierce fighting.

But strangely enough, the remaining branches of the burned woods have not decayed for the past three hundred years, but have remained as they were when they were first burned.

The three of them split up to find their way.

It took about an hour or so to finally get out of this eerie wood.

At this time, what appeared in front of them was a ruined house that had been destroyed by the battle. A village destroyed by battle.

It seems that in the past 300 years, few people or creatures have been here.

Everything here is still the way it was.

They walked through the ruins for more than four hours until they reached a place not far from the central temple of Santa Gonza.

At the same time, in that temple.

The Blackheart Demon was about to tie up Roseanne when he suddenly heard footsteps not far away.

Although the footsteps were small, he was the son of the Black Heart Demon, the Great Demon Mephisto, and his perception ability was far beyond that of the Wind Demon.

He immediately stopped what he was doing and said to the water demon, "You go and stop them." ”

The water demon smiled awkwardly and said, "Me? The Wind Demon and the Earth Demon have been planted in their hands, I'm afraid I can't do it, right? ”

"What's not to do? Wind Demon and Earth Demon That's because they don't know their opponents at all, and it's strange to attack rashly and win. You see, there is an artificial lake around the temple, isn't that a place where you can play to your strengths? “

When the water demon heard this, he became slightly proud, and said, "Maybe they are strong, but in the water, no one is my opponent." ”

He walked slowly outside.

Although the three of them, Nakat Shilei and Lin Yiqiangni, were looking for them separately, but they all came to the edge of the artificial lake almost at the same time.

Carter Slay saw the artificial lake, took a long breath, and said, "Found it." ”

Then he said to Lin Yi and Johnny, "In the center of the artificial lake is the temple, and the Blackheart Demon will definitely be waiting for you in the Condor. I'll send you here, I'm too old to be their match. I won't trouble you. ”

Johnny looked at Carter Slay and said heartily, "Thank you." ”

Carter Sr. put on his cowboy hat once more, waved at the two, and then mounted his horse, not transforming into a ghost rider again, and slowly disappearing into the darkness.

The two waited for Carter's figure to disappear before turning their heads again to look at the temple in the darkness.

It was already past three o'clock in the night.

St. Van Gonza is on the summer solstice, the earliest time the sun rises, and the sun will appear at five o'clock in the morning.

Johnny said: "We're running out of time. ”

When the sun rises, they will become normal human beings.

When the time comes, it will be impossible to deal with the black-hearted demon.

The two of them walked along a path in the center of the lake, in the direction of the temple.

On both sides of this path, there are still crooked branches.

From time to time, their clothes would be hung by those branches, and Lin Yi always felt that these branches seemed to be controlled by some kind of force, pulling their clothes all the time, preventing them from moving forward.

There was not a single leaf on the water, but the smell of rotting leaves could be heard.

When Lin Yi occasionally looked down, he saw that under the surface of the water, a human skull was slowly swaying.

He was shocked, and when he looked closely, he realized that it was not a skull at all, but a lot.

It looks like thousands of skulls are slowly floating at the bottom of the lake.

It turned out that the thousands of people who died in the battle had their heads cut off. Their heads were thrown into the lake.

If those resentful spirits were still here, it is estimated that this place would have become a hell on earth.

Thankfully, the Spirits were collected and sealed in the Soul Scroll.

They continued along the path.

The path is not a straight line, but a maze that winds around the lake.

In such a labyrinth of water, they circled for nearly an hour before reaching the water not far from the temple.

It looks like a little more than twenty steps further and you will go ashore.

However, at this moment, on the water surface on Lin Yi's side, a skeletal arm suddenly stretched out.

The skeletal arm grabbed Lin Yi's ankle, and Lin Yi was caught off guard and was pulled directly into the lake.

At Johnny's feet in front of him, a skeletal arm also appeared, grabbed his ankle, and pulled him into the lake.

Lin Yi only felt that the lake water was cold and biting, which made him can't help but shiver twice.

But what was even colder than the lake was the cold feeling coming from the skeletal arm at his ankle.

He felt himself being grabbed by the skeletal arm at his ankle, and his ankle was numb from the cold, and he was completely unconscious.

And that numbness began to expand upwards.

His entire calves, thighs, and lower body were unconscious.

And in front of him, a miserable white face appeared.

Not only was the face pale, but it looked like it had been blistered for too long, and it looked much more swollen than the average face.

And half of the face is covered with long hair, and it is difficult to see its face.

On the other hand, Johnny's situation is almost exactly the same as Lin Yi's.

He was also constantly struggling in the water.

And in the water came a voice that echoed like a megaphone: "Don't struggle, as long as it's in the water, none of you can escape." ”
