Chapter 78 The Evil Spirit Guarding the Treasure
"Do you have a way?" The three of them asked in unison, after all, these things had already exceeded their understanding, and everyone had only heard about but never seen such an event.
Long Teng saw that the three of them were being cautious, so he found a comfortable position to sit down and said with a deep sigh: "These vengeful spirits are formed by absorbing the grievances and resentment from the gathering place of yin energy, which is why they devour each other and evolve into an even more malevolent entity. Their power is extremely formidable for ordinary people; just one appearance can kill someone on the spot. What's even more terrifying is that they can use the energy of the vengeful spirits to create illusions, confusing people like a master of the Dragon Line. They cannot kill you with their methods, but they can exhaust your physical strength using illusions and then devour your flesh at will. In the end, as I said earlier, there won't be any remains, not even bones. And what I want you three to do is for Long Ji and Long Xing to go out first and guard two directions. No matter what happens in front of them, they must not react. Su Rui's task is to stay between the two of them and balance their yang energy; in other words, he just needs to sit still. As for me, I have another mission. As long as you three can hold your positions for half an hour without moving, I will be able to find the array eye and break it. I think that after breaking it, we should be close to finding the treasure." After Long Teng finished saying all this in one breath, he looked at the three of them with a hint of deep meaning, showing that he was still quite concerned about this matter.
It's clear that this is an extraordinary time, so neither Long Xing nor Long Ji opposed it. After all, things have reached this point and have exceeded the understanding of both men, so not listening to him won't work either, unless they don't want to find the treasure. But if they don't look for the treasure, then this action will lose its original meaning.
So the three of them responded in unison and were ordered by Long Teng to stand outside. Long Xing and Long Ji stood back-to-back in a straight line, while Su Rui stood between them. The three of them stood still, eyes closed, not moving at all. This was also the most basic method taught by Long Teng, which could avoid being misled by the vengeful spirit's illusion.
The originally hot mountain forest has now become very cool, with cold winds blowing from time to time, giving people a very comfortable feeling. However, this feeling didn't last long, as strong winds started to blow in the forest, bringing an eerie atmosphere, and several people began to get goosebumps.
After the three people stood in position, Long Teng withdrew the array he had set up earlier and replaced it with another unknown array. Then, Long Teng stood inside the array, observing the scene.
The strong wind turned into a fierce gale, with the howling sound mixed with eerie wails and wolf-like cries, making it very frightening. When this kind of momentum occurred, Long Xing and several others also felt their hearts racing, but fortunately, they were all seasoned veterans who had experienced great winds and waves, so this noise didn't pose any threat to them.
Soon, the strong wind began to sweep towards the three people, but it stopped in front of where the three people were standing, as if it couldn't move any further. Suddenly, the strong wind changed and turned into thousands of zombies and ghosts walking towards the three people at a slow speed, but instantly surrounding them, biting and gnawing.
The wails of the zombies and ghosts were eerie, but the three followed Long Teng's words, not caring how many goosebumps they got, and remained motionless, letting the ghostly cries and zombie roars pass them by without flinching.
At this moment, Long Teng finally discovered that there was a place different from the others. Not far away, a large tree surrounded by nothing seemed extremely clean, and there were no zombies or vengeful spirits around it. Moreover, these dirty things seemed to have appeared from this place. Seeing this tree, Long Teng let out a cold laugh, and with a swift movement, he jumped over and struck the tree with the golden light in his hand, blasting it into splinters. Immediately following that, the zombies and vengeful spirits on the scene suddenly vanished, but then a real zombie flashed out from the splinters.
Long Teng felt a chill run down his spine as soon as he saw the zombie's head, although he understood that everything here was rooted in this zombie, but this guy was too miserable. The zombie's half-rotten brain was wrapped in many leaves, and maggots could be seen crawling in and out of its head, its body had liquefied, and a thick, foul-smelling pus was oozing from all over its body. Despite its appearance, this zombie was actually a very formidable one, known as Gui Mei.
The so-called ghost is actually a legendary mountain monster, and the evil spirits in the mountains are all called "thousand soul ghosts". It's not that this kind of ghost is made up of a thousand souls, but rather that this kind of monster is extremely fierce.
Long Teng understood that as long as he got rid of this guy, the place would be safe. Thinking of this, he quickly woke up Long Xing and the other two, telling them to protect themselves from being splattered with the corpse's pus, otherwise it would be troublesome.
Three people were wondering why the surroundings had suddenly become quiet, and then they were woken up by Long Teng. When the three of them turned around to look in Long Teng's direction, they were all stunned. Long Xing reacted the fastest, instantly appearing behind Su Rui and protecting her, while Long Ji also hurriedly moved closer to Long Xing.
At this time, Su Rui's heart was warm again. This iron lump really knew how to cherish her, and every time she was in the most dangerous situation, he would always protect her. As a woman, thinking of this, Su Rui had no other desires. After all, not every woman could be protected by her own man at the most critical moment, but Long Xing just happened to be such a man who could protect her, which made her feel contented.
That ghostly figure emerged and, after a brief moment of stunned silence, charged towards Long Teng. His outstretched hands had fingernails that were half a foot long, resembling sharp blades, which he swiped at Long Teng.
Long Teng didn't mind this ghost at all. After all, after breaking its formation, it was no match for Long Teng's power. So, Long Teng's Golden Light struck the ghost without any surprise or danger, followed by a loud explosion.
It turned out that Long Xing couldn't bear it anymore and used the strange power inside his body, he had just discovered that his strange power could be used, and then he hastily used it on that ghost. After the explosion, the ghost actually caught fire and quickly turned into a pile of ashes.
Long Xing looked at his masterpiece with some satisfaction, discovering that his heterochromia had improved a bit, and he seemed to be in high spirits.
After getting rid of them, Long Teng smiled and waved his hand, letting Long Ji start searching for the treasure according to the treasure map. The three of them followed behind, after all, this kind of thing was what Long Ji was best at.
Very soon, Longji stopped in front of a mountain wall and immediately began to search around with his waist bent. Then the four of them took out their military flashlights, after all, this thing can only be used for 24 hours, at first no one dared to use it, what if they found something in the cave, under the condition that they couldn't see the surroundings, it's also very dangerous.
At last, Long Ji found a place and fiddled with it for half a day. Afterwards, the mountain wall opened a door that was just the right size for two people to enter.
After opening the door, a strong stench of corpses came from inside the cave, almost suffocating the four people. After waiting for the smell to pass, they shone their flashlights inside and saw that the entrance was littered with skeletal remains, and on the walls were corpses nailed in place, but they had already decayed into skulls. The tattered clothes had been reduced to powder by long-term weathering. Despite being mentally prepared, the four people were still shocked by the scene before them. How many people must have died here to leave so many skeletal remains?
No nonsense, just vote him down...
