Taking a deep breath, Chen Tao grabbed the plastic bottle with both hands and walked to Ye Rong's side.
"Yang Lixuan, please go away. I will definitely burn a beautiful wife for you when I get out!"
The bloodthirsty black insects that made it difficult for them to move were the least of their worries for Chen Tao and others. This made Chen Tao feel that he was very proud at this moment, and even walked a little longer.
"Ahem...this is for you!"
In order to show his masculinity, Chen Tao deliberately made his voice very magnetic and raised the decibel level, which attracted the attention of everyone nearby. Very unpromising, Chen Tao blushed to the root of his neck again, and his heart beat faster than last time.
"Hahaha..." Seeing Chen Tao's embarrassment, Ye Rong couldn't help but laugh. Her big jewel-like eyes made Chen Tao look a little dazed.
"Little brother, what is this?"
Chen Tao nervously pushed the bottle into Ye Rong's hand: "Yes...to deal with those bugs."
"Hmm...it smells really bad, but it smells much better than what you have!"
Hearing this, Chen Tao's face turned red again.
Along the way, he had dug holes in the mountains, and a lot of things were stained on his body. The mixed smell was really indescribable.
Although Chen Tao has long been accustomed to this smell, he still felt a little embarrassed when being mentioned by a beautiful woman at this moment.
"Hahaha……"
"Stop laughing!"
"Don't worry, my sister won't dislike you. How do you use this thing?"
"Just apply it on your body. Those bugs are very sensitive to smell." Chen Tao felt that every second of standing here was a torture.
"Well, thank you, little brother!"
"I'll say it again, don't call me little brother again!" Chen Tao gritted his teeth and looked at Ye Rong, speaking like a little brother. After all, I am also the little boss of the Chen family. Don't I want to lose face?
"I know, little brother, go back and tell Mr. Long that we are ready and can set off at any time!"
"..."
A few minutes later, a group of people were already walking on the winding stone path. The stone path was very smooth and seemed to have been polished, with little firelights reflecting in the darkness. Different from the cliff edge, there is a black boulder standing symmetrically every few meters here. The boulder is about one foot high and completely black.
"Is this the Shinto?" Uncle Long stopped and looked at the boulders on both sides. There was no word on them, "These boulders..."
"Strange... did you hear any sounds?" Yan looked at the winding stone road in the distance, squinting his ears.
Boom...boom...boom...boom...
Grumpy, rumbling... hey...
Grumpy, rumbling... hey...
A drumming sound gradually came from the distance of the stone path, the friction of stones and the shouts of the crowd, and there seemed to be a black shadow moving in the blur.
Grumpy, rumbling... hey...
Grumpy, rumbling... hey...
The sound was getting closer and closer, and it sounded real to my ears. It seemed like a group of people were pulling a heavy object towards Chen Tao and the others. Everyone raised the weapon in their hands warily, pulled up the gun bolt with a click, and stared unblinkingly at the depths of the dimly lit stone path.
"What is this sound?" Uncle Long asked Ye Rong who was standing aside.
"I don't know, we didn't encounter this when we came here..."
Boom...boom...boom...boom...
Every time the drum sounded, everyone felt that their hearts were beating violently, and their minds seemed to be attracted by something. It was difficult to concentrate, and everything they saw with their eyes became blurry.
"There's something wrong with this sound, cover your ears!" Uncle Long yelled.
However, the sound of the drum seems to be in people's brains. Even if they cover their ears tightly, the heart-stopping demonic sound is still echoing in their minds.
Boom...boom...
Everything in front of him began to become blurry. When Chen Tao opened his eyes again, there were many more people around him. Everyone wore a mask on their head and wore strange costumes that Chen Tao had never seen before.
The clothes were wrapped in a layer of black fur, and it was hard to tell what kind of animal it was. The masks on their heads have fine-faced fangs, covered with a layer of black hair that is the same as the clothes.
Looking at the thin white hair extending from the center of his eyebrows to the back of his head, Chen Tao felt a chill go down his spine and his hairs stood up.
This turned out to be the skin of the Soul-Destroying Rat King!
These people were all half-hunched over, carrying a wrist-thick black rope on their backs. The other end of the black rope was connected to the huge thing behind them.
It was a huge stone platform with rollers underneath, and the stone platform was actually a palace with carved beams and painted columns.
The palace is two meters square, and the entire palace is made of gold. It shines with dazzling golden light against the light of the brazier. Every detail of the palace is exquisitely crafted, even the tiles on the roof are clearly visible, and each piece is inlaid with a black gemstone.
"Who are these people? They are wearing costumes and masks made of Rat King fur!"
Looking at the countless Rat King masks around him, Chen Tao's hands were shaking. When he looked down at himself, he almost screamed in fright.
At this moment, he was wearing the same clothes as those people!
Chen Tao hurriedly reached out to touch his face, and the touch gave him goosebumps all over his body.
Chen Tao shouted and tore the Rat King mask on his head hard. As soon as he pulled it, he felt a pain on his face. Only then did he realize that this was not a mask, but his own face!
"Damn, what's going on!"
Boom...boom...
The drums sounded again, and Chen Tao's hands uncontrollably tightened the thick rope around his body. Together with the group of people, he hunched up and walked hard towards the cliff.
"No...no...this must be an illusion. Wake up, wake up!"
Chen Tao gritted his teeth to resist the drum sound in his mind that sounded like a demonic voice urging death. However, at this moment, his body was not under his control at all.
"Ah! Wake up quickly!!!"
He struggled hard, and the sound of the drum echoed in his mind. Whenever he tried to resist, the sound of the drum would become extremely strong, like a heavy hammer, hitting hard deep in his heart and brain. at.
"ah!!!"
Chen Tao's eyes were blood red and his eyes were about to burst. In front of him was the strange bottomless abyss.
Wow...
The person walking at the front jumped down without even a scream.
"Taozi..."
A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and another person took off his mask at some point and was looking back at him.
"Haozi, come back!"
"Taozi..." Haozi smiled slightly, his face pale and weak, his eyes full of despair.
"Haozi, what are you going to do? Come back quickly!"
Haozi just smiled, leaned up, and fell down the cliff.
"Haozi! MD, let me go, let me go quickly!"
"It's useless, little boss..."
"Mountain ghost, no! No!"
Chen Tao looked at the mountain ghost anxiously. His face was as lifeless and pale as a dead person.
"Little boss..."
The mountain ghost turned around, took a step forward, and his body fell instantly.
"Mountain ghost! Ah!!! WCNMD! Let me go! Let me go!"
Chen Tao was completely crazy. His eyes became extremely painful. Drops of blood and tears flowed out of his eyes, leaving a thin mark on the rat face and dripping on the back of his hand.
"Taotao... The Chen family is finished, and so is the Spiritual Alliance..."
"No! Uncle Long! Uncle Long! The Chen family will not be finished! The Spirit Alliance will not be finished either!"
"It's over... it's over... everything is over! The Spiritual Alliance is gone, and so is the Chen family..."
"Uncle Long! Ah!!! I will fight with you!"
"MD! I don't care if you are a human or a ghost, come at me if you can! Come on!" Chen Tao roared angrily, desperately resisting the power that controlled him.
He raised his hand with difficulty and clasped it firmly on the mask on his face, his nails digging into his flesh.
"Uh-huh!"
Chen Tao roared and roared, ignoring the heartbreaking pain on his face, and pulled off the rat face bit by bit...
Just as he tore off the bloody rat face, his body shook violently, his head went blank with a buzzing sound, and the strange power that restrained him disappeared. Chen Tao's vision gradually recovered, and the Rat King mask and the exquisite and luxurious golden palace could no longer be seen around him. Only the dancing firelight in the brazier in the distance was left.
Chen Tao lay helplessly on the ground, gasping for air, completely exhausted.
Boom...boom...boom...boom...
The fatal drum beat sounded again, and Chen Tao's heart instantly tightened. He raised his head tremblingly and saw in the depths of the fire, Long Shuhaozi and others were half-hunched over, walking step by step towards the cliff ahead.
"No......"
