"what's the situation?"
Before the two of them could figure out what was going on, countless ghosts and monsters swarmed out of the darkness.
Like the human-faced python, the targets of all the ghosts and monsters were not Lu Shaoyang and Yan Miaomiao. They ran away like crazy as if someone was chasing them from behind.
But the two of them would still be attacked by these ghosts and monsters on their way to attack.
"Yan Miaomiao! Stand behind me!" Lu Shaoyang yelled.
A giant Aegis Shield instantly blocked the two of them, diverting all the swarming ghosts and monsters, allowing them to attack from both sides.
"Do you know what is going on?" Lu Shaoyang turned around and asked.
Yan Miaomiao hid behind Lu Shaoyang, looking at the many ghosts and monsters fleeing like a tide, and shook her head.
"I have visited Buzhou Mountain so many times before, and I have never encountered this situation once, but..." Yan Miaomiao seemed to have thought of something, and continued after thinking for a moment.
"But I have seen descriptions of this phenomenon in other mythological and historical materials before. It seems to be called a tide of ghosts and corpses."
Tide of ghosts and corpses? This is the first time I heard this statement.
Seeing Lu Shaoyang's confused expression, Yan Miaomiao immediately explained.
"This is actually sporadic. It not only exists among ghosts, but also appears in many animal groups."
"For example, if a group of animals gather together to look for food, and a natural enemy or source of danger suddenly appears, the frightened animals will immediately flee."
"After receiving this signal, animals that are farther away will flee together, and then places further away will also be affected. In this way, the fleeing behavior will continue to be passed on, even if they are one kilometer away, they are not seen at all. Animals that have passed this dangerous source will also be affected and run away immediately."
"So, something must have frightened the ghosts in the forest, thus triggering this wave of ghost corpses."
After listening to Yan Miaomiao's explanation, I instantly felt enlightened.
If it were just like this, these ghosts would have nothing to worry about. The only thing to worry about is the source of danger that causes fright.
"Do you think the source of the danger that caused the tide of ghosts and corpses was the tombs guarding the three magic circles?"
Lu Shaoyang directly embedded the Shield of Aegis into the ground and pressed his back against it.
"It shouldn't be the case. Julong and Houtu's positions are not in this area. As for Cho Ming, although he is very close to his position, he will only appear when the sky is filled with stars and seven stars are in a row. The sky is now There isn’t even a star on the sky, so he certainly won’t appear.”
At the mention of the dark night sky, Lu Shaoyang raised his head and stared at it, and suddenly felt a strange feeling for some reason.
It stands to reason that no matter how dark the night sky is, there should be one or two stars, or a trace of light reflecting in the night sky.
And today's night sky is a little too dark, making people very uncomfortable.
"Okay, but I prefer that the source of danger is choking. This way, I won't have to look for it." After speaking, Lu Shaoyang immediately pointed to the night sky: "By the way, do you feel that the night sky seems a bit... too dark?"
Yan Miaomiao just glanced at it and then smiled.
"Brother Shaoyang, you don't know that the entire sky of the Buzhou Mountain copy I fought in before seemed to be soaked in blood. It was terrifying and disgusting. It was even scarier than the blood-red sky in our current world."
"Compared with before, the environment here now is like a paradise on earth. Not to mention that the night sky is a bit dark. As long as the scenery is so beautiful during the day, I can accept it even if the sky opens my eyes at night."
Lu Shaoyang smiled and shook his head, without saying anything else, and continued to support the Aegis Shield with his body.
After about ten minutes, the tide of ghosts and corpses gradually weakened. After another five minutes, the tide of ghosts and corpses completely ended, and the remaining sporadic ghosts were quickly eliminated by the two of them.
After the surrounding environment returned to calm again, the two of them were about to sit back in front of the campfire, eat some barbecue and drink some wine, when they suddenly felt a trance.
However, this trance came and went quickly, and even Yan Miaomiao didn't realize it.
Lu Shaoyang shook his head, and after confirming that nothing happened, he didn't pay too much attention and sat down immediately.
"Eh? Why isn't the meat cooked yet, Brother Shaoyang? What kind of meat are you getting?" Yan Miaomiao looked confused.
"Yes, it's been more than ten minutes, why aren't they cooked yet? What I got here is just some ordinary chicken and mutton. Is the heat a little low?"
The two picked up some dead wood branches from the surroundings and threw them into the fire, and the entire bonfire suddenly burst into flames.
"It's okay. Just wait a little longer. There shouldn't be another wave of ghosts and zombies, right?"
Yan Miaomiao smiled and shook his head: "It will definitely not happen again. How can there be two waves of ghosts and corpses in one place in a row, unless someone has nothing to do and is chasing ghosts back and forth on both sides."
"Hahaha, chasing away ghosts, you are really..."
Sudden! !
Before Lu Shaoyang finished speaking, there was another strange noise in the dark grass nearby. This strange noise was extremely familiar.
But before he could listen carefully, a human-faced python suddenly jumped out, jumped over the two of them, and escaped.
"Huh? Have you seen this scene just now?" Lu Shaoyang frowned.
At this moment, the familiar tremor struck again, and it became more and more intense just like before.
"No! It's another wave of corpses!!"
After feeling the ghost's aura approaching, Lu Shaoyang immediately summoned the Shield of Aegis again, preparing to block it in the opposite direction.
After all, if the tide of ghosts and corpses attacks again, they will probably return from the direction they fled.
But just as he turned around, a flood of ghosts and monsters rushed over from the original direction.
"How is that possible?!" Not only Lu Shaoyang, but also Yan Miaomiao on the side also widened his eyes.
At the critical moment, Lu Shaoyang flipped over the Shield of Aegis and stood in its original position again. Even the pits embedded in the ground were completely sealed and unchanged.
"What's going on? Why are there so many ghosts coming from the same direction?"
"No...it shouldn't be!" Yan Miaomiao squatted behind Lu Shaoyang and fell into deep thought.
It stands to reason that even if there is another wave of ghost corpses, they should turn back from the direction they fled. They can't be divided into two groups, right?
Just as the two of them continued to wait for the tide of ghost corpses to end, some of the fleeing ghosts suddenly changed their direction and attacked the two people who were hiding behind the Shield of Aegis.
"careful!!"
Yan Miaomiao, who was still deep in thought, did not react at all. The ghost had already waved its claws and jumped above its head!
