Chapter 272: Burned out in an instant

Wisps of gray-white smoke wafted from the lit ghost-repelling incense, and at the same time, a faint smell of corpses was emitted.

The smoke filled the three of them in a circle as if they were spiritual, like a ring that encircled the three of them inside, and seemed to form a natural protective shield to protect the three of them.

Zhong Minghao was a little curious when he saw this, and couldn't help but reach out his hand as if he was touching the smoke, but the smoke seemed to be deliberately dodging, and when Zhong Minghao reached over, the smoke spread out a little directly, and he never made direct contact with Zhong Minghao.

"Interesting, these supernatural items researched by Professor Lu are really different." Although he didn't come into contact with it, Zhong Minghao could feel an indescribable aura from it.

Because for the time being, I didn't know how much effect the ghost avoidance incense could play on the water ghost, so although Qin Mufeng lit the ghost avoidance incense, which could ensure that he would not be attacked by the ghost for the time being, the three of them were still careless, and continued to walk inside according to the original formation.

The smoke of the ghost incense also moved with the movement of the three people, always maintaining a certain range of enveloping the three people.

Although it was in a strange place, and there would be attacks from powerful ghosts around him at any time, Qin Mufeng still had a trace of his mind to pay attention to the situation of avoiding ghosts and burning incense.

According to Mu Yijian's analysis of this ghost avoidance incense before he set off, the normal burning time of the ghost avoidance incense ranges from about twenty minutes to half an hour, which fluctuates depending on the horror of the ghost.

But right now, looking at the speed at which the ghost avoidance incense spark is descending, it seems to be coming faster than expected.

Qin Mufeng secretly estimated that if he continued at this rate, this ghost-avoiding incense, which was no different from the slender Buddha incense usually used to worship the Buddha, would only last for about fifteen minutes at most.

The duration of continuous protection is shorter than before, but there are benefits. At the beginning, when he didn't light the ghost incense, Qin Mufeng walked in the stagnant water that was already up to his ankles, although it was not very difficult, but he still felt a trace of resistance.

However, after lighting the ghost avoidance incense, even though the stagnant water had almost reached the vicinity of the calf meat now, Qin Mufeng felt like he was walking on the ground, and the stagnant water did not bring him the slightest resistance.

Qin Mufeng knew that this was the ghost avoidance incense that was working, in other words, the stagnant water on the ground was basically a kind of ability that belonged to that water ghost.

I don't know if it was the ghost incense that worked, or the ghost lurking in the water didn't attack, and after lighting the ghost incense, the three of them didn't encounter another attack along the way.

Continue to walk back inside, and when you reach the last corner, suddenly, the style of painting changes abruptly.

I saw that the water in this alley was as high as a knee, and the water looked turbid, it was basically difficult to see what was in it with the naked eye, and what was even more strange was that the turbid water was still gathered together and did not leak out, forming a very obvious water level difference with the current location of the three of them.

"There's a problem." The moment they saw this scene, the three of them crossed their minds at the same time.

"Go inside?" Qin Mufeng asked.

"It's not advisable to go inside, I think it's better to go somewhere else, such as bypassing the roof above." Zhong Minghao glanced at Mu Yijian and said.

This is already an abnormality visible to the naked eye. Zhong Minghao's proposal is very correct, although the alley inside does not seem to be very long, but there are many turbid stagnant waters, and they are so weird.

Although they are strange beings, and they also have life-saving supernatural items such as ghost incense, it is indeed the right thing to do to avoid this place at this moment.

"Wait, what's that?" Suddenly, Zhong Minghao's expression moved, and he noticed that there seemed to be a change in the stagnant water in the alley.

Mu Yijian and Qin Mufeng also saw it. Although the alley was muddy, it was quiet, and there was not even a ripple in the water, and a person appeared on the surface.

The man was supposed to be dead, and the back half of his body was on the water, his back up, face down, and he was curled up, motionless, and very stiff.

"Ghosts?"

"No, it looks more like someone killed by a ghost." Mu Yijian's eyes condensed slightly. Although this corpse is not visible, it should be a male corpse just from the features that appear on the outside, and it looks like it should have been dead for a while, and the skin exposed on the outside has no trace of blood, and is even a little swollen and rotten.

"Could it be Xu Mingfeng?" Judging from this vicinity, this is also more in line with the location where Xu Mingfeng's mobile phone signal appeared before.

Zhong Minghao took out his mobile phone and clicked on it, but he frowned slightly, and the interface still only showed a small green dot representing him.

While the three of them were still communicating, suddenly, the corpse that appeared on the surface of the stagnant water floated in their direction for no reason.

The strange thing is that under normal circumstances, there will be at least a little fluctuation on the surface of the water, but at this moment, there is not a single ripple on the surface of the stagnant water where the corpse floats, as if the corpse does not exist at all.

At the same time, the three of them noticed that the stagnant water under their feet was slowly becoming muddy, and it looked like the stagnant water from the two sides had mixed up.

The three of them took a few steps back in unison. The corpse on the surface of the turbid water had floated to the mouth of the alley, and the corpse floated down the water level with a clear difference in height between the two sides, and in the process, the corpse seemed to flip over naturally.

However, when the three of them saw this, the expressions on their faces suddenly became unbearable. Because although the face of the upturned corpse was foamed and swollen, a pair of eyes were staring at the three of them, revealing weirdness and danger in their eyes, as if the three people in front of them were a prey, and it was a hunter.

At this moment, the hunter is about to start hunting his prey. The corpse floated down, and the turbid water seemed to have lifted some kind of confinement, like the water of the Yellow River that burst the embankment rushed out, and the corpse was pushed by this force to float quickly towards the three of them.

The turbid stagnant water had spread to the feet of the three people in an instant, and at the same time, the male corpse that had been washed under the feet of the three people suddenly sank into the stagnant water, and the already turbid stagnant water suddenly burst into countless blisters.

The faces of the three of them changed, and they looked at their feet at the same time. It's just that the stagnant water under the feet of the three of them has become very turbid at this time, and when they look down, they can only see a dark yellow, and they can't see the corpse that has sunk into the stagnant water at all.

The three of them kept the triangle formation in a good heart, and slowly retreated. Mu Yijian raised the wooden cracked spear in his right hand, and looked around sharply with his eyes; The ghost teeth under Zhong Minghao's clothes kept wriggling, and more of them converged towards his feet; And Qin Mufeng, who was holding the ghost avoidance incense, began to dry up quickly on the surface of his body, as if he had directly turned into a dried corpse, and his eyes became a little weird.

Although it has the effect of avoiding ghosts, the three of them still use their own supernatural abilities to prevent possible changes.

At this moment, the surface of the calm, turbid water changed.

"It's coming!" The first to react was Mu Yikan. It may be because of the control of many powerful ghosts, Mu Yijian's feeling for supernatural phenomena is much more sensitive than Zhong Minghao and Qin Mufeng.

Directly in front of him, a face suddenly appeared on the surface of the cloudy stagnant water, and that face was the same as the foamed and swollen face of the corpse the three of them had just seen.

Mu Yijian's eyes lit up, and the wooden cracked spear he held in his right hand threw directly at the face that emerged.

The sound of breaking the sky was heard at the same time as the sound of stagnant water and the explosion of the ground. The face that appeared on the surface of the stagnant water was directly pierced into the bottom of the water by the spear, and even when the spear pierced the ground, the surrounding stagnant water was instantly cleared.

Immediately afterwards, Zhong Minghao jumped forward quickly, and a hole was suddenly cracked in the palms of his hands, and rows of ghost teeth were clearly visible inside, and there were still harazi.

The ghost tooth bit forward, and the black gas drifted away. The stagnant water that had been emptied near the spear gathered again. However, when Zhong Minghao stood up straight, his brows were furrowed, and the ghost teeth on the palms of his hands were gone.

At that moment just now, Zhong Minghao didn't feel the feeling of the ghost teeth biting any ghost.

Mu Yijian and Qin Mufeng stepped forward, just looking at Zhong Minghao's frowning expression, they already knew that the joint attack of the two just now did not achieve the results they deserved.

Mu Yijian pulled out a spear in his right hand and said, "That ghost is still there, be careful." Zhong Minghao and Qin Mufeng nodded spontaneously.

At this moment, the turbid stagnant water around the three of them changed again.

"Puff, puff~!" Blisters are constantly forming on the surface of the stagnant water, and the blisters are bursting as they are generated, and the smell of decay begins to disperse as the blisters continue to burst.

At this moment, the scene is no longer like being in a pool of stagnant water, but more like being in a pool of poison.

At this time. The gray-white smoke surrounding the three of them seemed to have been blown by a strong wind, and the smoke drifted away a little, almost unable to maintain a complete circle.

"Boom~!" The bubbling surface of the stagnant water exploded, and the turbid stagnant water floated into the air, and the smell of decay in the air became stronger.

"Not good!" The ghost-avoiding incense in Qin Mufeng's hand exploded at the same time, as if a spoonful of hot oil had been poured into the midst of a blazing fire.

The flame-yellow spark expanded rapidly, and even turned directly into flames. The whole incense is burning in an incredible way at this moment, and the length of the incense is constantly getting shorter.

The splashed stagnant water fell back again, and in just an instant, the ghost incense was already less than one-tenth of its length.

Seeing this, Qin Mufeng's face showed a hint of horror, it was just to resist the attack of a powerful ghost, this entire ghost avoidance incense was almost burned out, the spark that was as hot as a flame just now seemed to have exhausted the energy of the entire ghost avoidance incense, and in the end, only this small section was left.

The gray-white smoke surrounding the three of them was almost transparent at this time, and the source of the smoke, the ghost incense, was almost to the end.

"Get out of here first!" The ghost incense directly resisted the first attack of the ghost, and although the effect was very effective, the consequence was that this ghost incense had also been exhausted.

The dark red light spread from Mu Yijian's body, and instantly enveloped Zhong Minghao and Qin Mufeng's bodies.

The red light flashed, and the figures of the three of them had disappeared into the murky bubbling water. A short wooden stick that was still burning with sparks fell from mid-air, and it was accompanied by

With a "zing" sound, it immediately sank into the turbid water.
