Chapter 338: Ghost Tide
"Haven't you arrived yet?" Xiao Lin asked in a low voice as he looked at the dense forest around him.
"I may not have been here for a long time, and I can't remember the way. The old man said, "It should be not far away." ”
The old man walked forward step by step with a cane, the elderly man had poor legs and feet, and walked very slowly, and he could walk for a long time in a short way, which made Xiao Lin not know what to say.
The three of them walked through the forest without saying a word, and the strong man walked at the back, his eyes sweeping the surroundings sharply, wary of any hint of wind and grass.
Xiao Lin didn't worry too much, firstly, this strong man was extremely skilled, and there was definitely no problem in protecting them, and secondly, he also got the promise of Shuramen that he would protect his life, these two lines of defense are here, presumably any crisis can be resolved.
"Looks like I'm going in the right direction. The old man suddenly said with some joy, rubbing his palms against a tree, and a smile appeared on his face.
"What is this?" Xiao Lin also noticed the mark on the tree, and someone had made a cross on the trunk with a hard object, which seemed to be a mark made by man.
"This is the mark that sat down in the past, and it was used to show the way. The old man explained, "When we see this mark, it means that the stele is not far from us. After saying that, he walked much faster, and walked towards the distance.
Xiao Lin hurriedly followed with his steps, and it didn't take long for him to see from a distance that a black stone tablet stood alone in the open space, and it was already crawling with weeds, and it seemed that a long time had passed, and no one had come to clean it.
"This is the stele I told you about. The old man pointed to the stele and said, "Go up and have a look." ”
"Yes. Xiao Lin responded lightly, took a few deep breaths, mobilized the breath of his whole body, and walked towards the stone tablet with all his attention, he walked very carefully, pausing for a moment every time he took a step, for fear that something would suddenly happen.
Although Xiao Lin walked very slowly, he still quickly came to the stele, he bent down slightly and looked at the stele carefully, there was no text on the stele, only a picture.
At the top is a huge palm with sharp nails, and below the palm is a huge throne, surrounded by six open doors, and at the bottom of the stone tablet is a figure, with his back to Xiao Lin, looking up.
"What is this?" Xiao Lin looked at the pattern on the stele with a surprised face, this scene seemed familiar, he had seen it in his dream, but he didn't expect the same scene to be painted on this stele.
"What is the meaning of this scene?" Xiao Lin muttered softly, "Why did it appear in front of me again and again. ”
Xiao Lin had a faint premonition in his heart, the owner of that palm might be the enemy he would face in the future, and the six open doors must represent the Six Realms Gate in this world, but he didn't know what that figure and that huge throne were.
At this time, a light suddenly lit up on the stone stele, and the purple light began to circulate on the stone stele, and the ancient and heavy aura began to spread around, and a strong wind blew in the forest, and there was a faint roar vibrating.
"What's going on?" Xiao Lin immediately took a few steps back, his eyes looking at the changes in the stone tablet in disbelief, "It feels like there's something underneath?"
He felt the ground beneath his feet begin to shake slowly, as if something was about to break out from underground, the black-brown earth began to rise upwards, spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the ground, and a cold aura began to permeate the ground, mixed with wisps of white mist.
"Elder, you stand behind me. The strong man stood in front of the old man, and a light blue light began to light up on his body, and a blue shadow emerged from his body, quietly suspended in mid-air.
"Blue shadow?" Xiao Lin caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, and thought in his heart, "Is the shadow released by different Inhumans different?" Or does this shadow have a process of evolution and ascension. ”
However, at this time, Xiao Lin could think about the means of the alien, and the stone tablet in front of him began to levitate from the earth, flying towards the air, and the dazzling purple light sprinkled around.
At the same time, a large white mist gushed out in the gap left by the stele after leaving, turning into snow-white waves rolling in the air, and a miserable white palm suddenly came out, the fingers were all open at a strange angle, and the fingertips were still covered with pitch-black blood, and bursts of foul smell poured into Xiao Lin's nose.
"Haunted?" Xiao Lin's figure suddenly retreated quickly, a cloud of pitch-black flames surrounded his body, and the Moyang Sword in his hand emitted a crisp sword groan.
"What happened?" asked the strong man, "why is that stele like this?"
"I don't know. Xiao Lin said without looking back, "Suddenly, there was this kind of movement, and it felt like the stone tablet was suppressing something, and at this time the seal was unsealed." ”
"Let's get out of here. The old man was obviously a little frightened, and his rickety body shrank back again.
The stele began to rotate slowly in the air, and the miserable white palm in the gap poked out a few points, and in the next moment, a figure climbed up from the gap, it was a figure with a cloak of hair, the facial features on his face were incomplete, and he stood in front of Xiao Lin and the three of them with a twisted body.
"What the hell?" the strong man gasped, although he was not weak, but he didn't have much knowledge, it was the first time he had seen a creature of this shape, it looked like a human being, and it made people's scalp tingle.
"It's a ghoul. Shuramen's voice sounded in Xiao Lin's mind, "It's the kind of corpse that has been drained of its essence and accumulated over a long period of time. ”
"How should this thing be dealt with? or use fire?" Xiao Lin asked, in the face of ghosts, he subconsciously wanted to use fire to solve the battle.
"Why does this stele look so familiar?" Shuramun muttered quietly, not answering Xiao Lin's question directly.
"Where is the time to pay attention to the stele now. Xiao Lin urged, "Obviously, it's this ghoul who is the point." ”
However, the Shura Sect was so strange that he fell into silence, deaf to Xiao Lin's call.
"Sure enough, when it comes to the critical moment, it is unreliable. Xiao Lin muttered helplessly, "I promised to be good before, saying that I wanted to save my life, but at this time, it was silent." ”
The pale ghoul let out a piercing sound from his mouth, and walked towards Xiao Lin and the three of them step by step, wrapped in snow-white mist.
"Hmph. The strong man snorted coldly, slapped out a palm, and the blue shadow in mid-air suddenly flew out and bombarded the ghoul's body heavily.
There was a sound of bones shattering, and the ghoul's body was broken in two, but it was still connected by bloodless skin.
"Does it work?" Xiao Lin muttered softly, and then his face changed, and the ghoul slowly stood up again, and walked towards them, as if the strong man's previous ferocious attack had not harmed it at all.
Immediately afterward, an even more terrifying scene appeared, in the gap under the stone tablet, one after another miserable white palms appeared, and the figure of the Dao ghoul crawled out of the gap, twisting his body and walking towards them step by step.
"It's really easy to be haunted on a big night. Xiao Lin took a sip, and a sword of Mo Yang in his hand slashed out, and a sword light with black flames roared past, bombarding the body of a ghoul.
The ghoul suddenly rolled on the ground, and there was a "snort" sound coming out constantly, and Hei Yan kept burning its body, but it didn't take long for the ghoul to stand up again, directly ignoring Hei Yan's incineration, and continued to walk towards Xiao Lin and the others.
"This thing can't be killed if it's unconscious. The strong man said softly, his tone a little anxious, "It's not something we can deal with, get out of here quickly." After saying that, he carried the old man behind him, and his figure flashed and swept into the distance.
Xiao Lin didn't dare to stay any longer, immediately urged Feiying to follow, and before leaving, he looked back at the stone tablet floating in the air, he wanted to know what that picture symbolized, but at this time, it was obviously important to save his life.
The ghouls didn't have any intention of chasing, they just walked forward step by step at their own pace, and a large number of ghouls continued to emerge from the gap, joining the advancing team together, more and more numerous, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, dense white figures shuttled through the dense forest, colliding with each other, like a white wave slowly thinking about drifting in the distance.
"We have to leave with the villagers. As the strong man walked through the woods, he said to the elder, "There are too many ghosts, and the village is in the direction of their advance, and if they come into contact, there will be heavy casualties." ”
"That's what I thought, too, but we've lived here for generations, and how many of us are willing to leave. The old man sighed, his eyes were full of sorrow, if he had known that the stele would have such a change, he would definitely not bring Xiao Lin over, but it turned out to be a good thing, causing a disaster.
"Leave that alone, force you to leave. Zhuang Chinese is very tough, "The village can be rebuilt if it is gone, if the people are gone, our vein will be truly cut off." ”
"Just listen to you. The old man said very tiredly, "I am also old, and if you survive this calamity, you will be the elder of the village in the future." ”
"Let's talk about that later. The strong man said casually, "Get through this difficult time first." ”
Xiao Lin followed behind the strong man from beginning to end, never saying a word, and the picture on the stone tablet before kept echoing in his mind, this scene made him haunted.
"Boy, go back and bring the stele with you. Shuramon said suddenly.
"What?" Xiao Lin's eyes widened, "You're asking me to die!"
"I lend you my power, and that stele makes me care a lot. Shuramen urged, his tone was very resolute, and Xiao Lin was not allowed to refute.
"You'd better take care of me. Xiao Lin muttered, then he took a deep breath, his figure flashed, and he swept towards the stone tablet.
"Boy, where are you going!" the strong man looked at Xiao Lin who rushed to the depths of the dense forest in astonishment, and shouted anxiously, "Doesn't this kid want to live?"
"Forget it. The old man said weakly, "After all, he is not our clansman, so let him go, presumably he is also carrying his own mission." ”
The strong man silently looked at the direction in which Xiao Lin left, and finally turned around and left.
