Chapter 17: The Ghost Gate
(Nightmare Palace has returned to normal updates, and in order to make up for the previous seven days of stoppage, Forget will have three consecutive updates in the next seven days!)
Zhong Shen walked silently, and after not knowing how long, there was a sudden crunching sound under his feet, and he hurriedly lowered his head and glanced at it, his pupils shrank.
On the originally dark and hard ground, there was a pair of white bone remains, and he was stepping on half of his arm bone at the moment, which made such a noise.
Zhong Shen swept his eyes around, only to find that the ground nearby was covered with white bones, and similar bones were one after another, extending into the nearby mist, as if endless.
Looking at the clothes and other things left on these bones, it is obvious that they are intruders who have fallen here in the past, but some of the bones are strangely shaped and extremely huge, and they are obviously not left by the human race.
Seeing this, Zhong Shen couldn't help but feel a little more solemn in his heart.
There were a lot of whispers in the group, and it was clear that someone else had noticed the anomaly on the ground.
At this moment, there was an unknown singing voice of a woman singing in the nearby sea of fog, the voice was melodious and pleasant, like the sound of heaven, but the language used in the song was obscure and incomprehensible, unable to understand, but people were intoxicated with it, and could hardly extricate themselves.
"Oh no! It's the Banshee of Langlo. ”
"Langluo Banshee! No way, didn't this thing only come across it in the depths of the Nightmare Palace, how could it run to the ghost gate. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, plug your ears quickly, the incense can't deal with this thing. ”
There was a great confusion in the otherwise calm procession, and some people shouted.
More quickly tore two strips of cloth from the placket of their clothes, plugging their ears in panic.
However, obviously, there were five or six disciples of the Zhong family who were a little slower, and after listening to two or three lines of singing, a look of fascination appeared on their faces, and the strips of cloth that had been placed next to their ears unconsciously hesitated, looking completely reluctant to block the obsession.
The companions next to these disciples, some of whom moved quickly, hurriedly forcibly held down their arms in shock, and stuffed strips of cloth into their ears.
But before two disciples could get help, they suddenly burst into laughter, threw the incense candle in their hands, rushed out of the passage and disappeared into the sea of fog, and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, the other Zhong family disciples nearby were immediately stunned, and there were several people who were friendly with these two people, who rushed out a few steps to pull them back, but they also stopped at the edge of the mist, not daring to really chase them in.
Zhong Shen plugged his ears for the first time, looked ahead, and vaguely saw Zhong Bat pinching the trick with one hand with a solemn expression, and the blue light flashed in front of him, and a water ball the size of a fist appeared.
As soon as this water balloon appeared, there were circles of seismic waves on the surface, and it took a long time for the incense to calm down completely.
Only then did Zhong Bat let out a long breath, made a gesture at the others, and took the lead in pulling out the strip of cloth in his ear.
The others also looked relieved when they saw this, and they followed suit.
"It seems that our luck this time is really not very good, the Louvre Banshee rarely appears in the Ghost Gate, and we actually ran into it. However, this monster usually only attacks the target once, and it should not be encountered again, but if you guess correctly, what we encounter next is the real big trouble. Zhong Bat said lightly after stepping on a white bone under his feet with his toes.
"Zhong Bat, just say what you want to say, you don't need to hide it. Zhong Daotian held a gun in one hand and said coldly in the team.
"Young Master Daotian, although the monster of the Luofu Banshee is terrifying, where it is located generally means that there is something more terrifying. I'm afraid most of the white bones on the ground are the prey of this thing. Zhong Bat said slowly.
"Blood Sandworm, are you talking about Blood Sandworm?" Zhong Jinlong also spoke, his expression solemn for the first time.
There was a commotion among the others, some with fear on their faces, others with a confused look.
Zhong Yiyun also showed a thoughtful expression.
After Zhong Shen listened, he swept the relevant information in his mind, and also gasped.
"We don't have much time to waste now, since the Louvre Banshee has appeared, the Blood Sandworm will follow within a quarter of an hour. The best way to deal with this insect is to use a lot of essence blood to lure it away, but we must run out of the swarm within a quarter of an hour, so we must run with all our strength for the rest of the time. ”
"Remember, don't fly at a high place, or you'll attract other monsters in the ghost gate. Let's pray, let's not be left behind, hehe, or you know the consequences. Zhong Bat said twice.
The descendant disciple who had made a mockery of Zhong Bat at the beginning had already turned pale and had no more arrogant words.
The others looked at each other as well.
Then I saw Zhong Bat wave with one hand, and the water balloon in front of him suddenly collapsed, but a palm-sized black leather bag appeared in front of him. The old man said something in his mouth, spat out the word "disease", and then punched the leather bag a little empty.
With a "bang", after the black leather bag trembled slightly, a blood spring erupted from it, endlessly, and quickly formed a large pool of blood on the ground, and the fishy smell was tangy.
"Alright, let's go. The old man no longer paid attention to the leather bag, but confidently took out two cyan talismans, slapped them on his feet, and rushed forward like a gust of wind.
Seeing this, the others in the back either pinched the magic decision, or activated the talisman magic weapon, and followed in a swarm.
After Zhong Shen frowned, he also took a light talisman for himself, and then urged Bibo Gong, and two blue wheel-like things suddenly appeared under his feet, and his body was three feet high and galloped forward.
With so many people rushing at the same time, fast and slow, the originally neat line suddenly became messy, and as time passed, the distance between the people began to gradually widen.
In particular, there are some disciples who are not good at the art of flying away and have not prepared relevant talismans and magic weapons, and they secretly complain in their hearts.
There is no doubt that these people are at the back of the team, and if they take a little longer, I am afraid that there is a real possibility of falling behind, and they feel very nervous in their hearts, but they can only grit their teeth and persevere.
A quarter of an hour had passed, and there was a roar in the sea of fog ahead, followed by heavy footsteps, as if the giant of life was approaching this way.
Zhong Bat, who was running in front, suddenly felt his body tighten, and his body, which was originally several feet high from the ground, fell down without the slightest sign and fell heavily to the ground.
"This is ......" The sick old man's eyes flashed, and he was the first to stop.
The others also stopped one after another, also showing a look of surprise.
"Forbidden air, forbidden air!" Zhong Shen's feet under the water wheel collapsed and disappeared in a flash, and his body also fell to the ground, and he muttered to himself in surprise.
Before the Zhong family disciples could go to find out, a scream suddenly came from the front, and then the fog in the distance was divided, and several men and women who were running wildly rushed out of it. Looking at their faces, it was clear that they were some small force immortal cultivators who had entered before, but at this time, they were covered in blood and their faces were full of fear.
Without waiting for the Zhong family disciples to ask, they saw a "whoosh", a thick tentacle covered with white flesh thorns ejected out of the mist behind several immortal cultivators, wrapped up the people running behind, and pulled one of them back into the sea of fog blurred, and let out a terrible scream.
Then in the fog ahead, a terrifying and powerful aura erupted, and everyone, including Zhong Shen, only felt that their bodies were condensed, and their bodies were three points heavier than before.
Zhong Shen was shocked in his heart, and looked up at the somewhat thin sea of fog ahead.
I saw that with the sound of footsteps shaking the mountains, a huge eye the size of an attic loomed in the sea of fog, emitting a green light, staring at the Zhong family and others.
