The cave was not far from where the two of them were, and soon they walked in. The cave was pitch black, and there was a faint sound of dripping water in the dark depths. The cool breeze kept blowing towards them from inside, as if The unknown monster was hidden, which sent shivers down their spines.
"Brother Chen, let's recover here at the entrance of the cave first. Little sister, go outside and set up a simple shielding formation."
Lin Yuqin looked around the environment and whispered to Chen Mo who was squatting on the ground.
"Wait a minute, something is wrong with this cave." Chen Mo frowned and quickly took out a luminous pearl that emitted a soft light from his storage bag and shined it into the underground of the cave.
Chen Mo whispered: "I accidentally stepped on it just now, and the ground was of different shades. Now that I look closely, there are indeed traces of dragging!"
Lin Yuqin also became alert and said cautiously: "Then let's go over and have a look?"
"Escape! Don't recover here, wait until your spiritual power is replenished before exploring again." Chen Mo said in a tone that could not be argued, and left the place directly with Lin Yuqin. After returning outside, Chen Mo found a dense bush. After condensing the spiritual energy, Lin Yuqin was the guardian outside, and the two of them took turns guarding and meditating. After three hours, they returned to their full strength.
"We have not deviated from the route. We should still be walking ahead of most monks at this time. Let's go to the cave first."
Chen Mo had a flying star ruler slanted on his waist and a white deer umbrella in hand. He re-entered with Lin Yuqin who was also on guard. Under the original traces, Lin Yuqin slowly walked forward holding the night pearl.
"Brother Chen, do you feel that it's getting colder and colder..."
Lin Yuqin, who was walking in front, spoke in a low voice while wrapping her clothes tightly around her body. If they weren't afraid of the fluctuations in spiritual power that would scare the snake, they would have used it to resist the bone-chilling chill.
"Hush, the echo is getting louder and louder, we should be there soon."
Chen Mo followed behind, walking silently along the dragging traces. As time passed, the traces on the ground became shallower and shallower, while the passage in front of him became wider.
"over there!"
Lin Yuqin instantly found the place where the dragging stopped. Following the direction of her finger, Chen Mo looked at it intently. It was a corpse that had turned into white bones. The clothes he was wearing had been worn for an unknown amount of time, and only the chest was left to rot. A little embroidery, and the empty skull eye frames were, by coincidence, staring closely in the direction they came from.
Chen Mo's eyes moved and he said in a low voice: "The disciples of the Beast Control Sect... seem to have been dead for decades. Junior Sister Lin, you and I separate the two sides and slowly move towards each other. If there is any danger, first Time alternates to cover and run out.”
"Okay." Lin Yuqin said, about two feet away from Chen Mo. They moved forward close to the stone wall, and it took half a stick of incense to rush over. When they walked to the corpse, the field of vision in front of them became wider. .
This is a huge space. In addition to the route that Chen Mo and the two came from, there is an unknown passage on the east side of this area that leads to where. There are gusts of wind inside, and it does not look like a safe place.
Right in front of the corpse, there was a pool of water several feet wide. Chen Mo glanced at it. The water surface was flowing slowly in a spiral shape, with a faint gray-white aura of decay rising. The cold they felt in the cave just now was Came from here.
Chen Mo did not move forward out of caution, but squatted down to examine the corpse at his feet. Two palm-sized bags were placed next to the corpse, intact.
"It's strange, why didn't the person who killed her take away the storage bag?" Lin Yuqin said doubtfully as she opened the gray spirit animal bag. Lying inside was a small red snake that had been dead for many years, because The master died unexpectedly, and it couldn't open the spirit beast bag, so it starved to death.
Lin Yuqin threw the spirit beast bag aside and opened the light golden storage bag. With a crash, several precious spiritual herbs, elixirs and magic weapons were poured out. Chen Mo was also stunned and picked up one of the bottles. He opened the elixir and smelled it, showing a look of regret: "Unfortunately, after being stored for more than thirty years, the medicinal properties have been almost lost."
"But the spiritual grass is well preserved and should be sold for several thousand spiritual stones." Chen Mo looked at the colorful spiritual materials again and nodded slightly.
"Brother Chen, look! There is another magic weapon!"
Lin Yuqin screamed in surprise, took out the green beads inside, blew the dust on them, and used her spiritual consciousness to erase the traces of the original owner's existence, and then used her spiritual power to test a little, and suddenly a green light lingered. , thousands of green silk threads are flying in the air, each one carrying sharp spikes. Judging from its spell strength, it can really be regarded as an excellent top-grade magic weapon!
But at this moment, a strange scene happened!
The originally calm pool suddenly started to bubble up from below, as if it had been affected by some unknown reaction. The rising mist gradually solidified, and the white outlines of more than a dozen human figures were vaguely visible.
"Run!!! This is a ghost!!" Chen Mo's face instantly turned extremely pale, and his body trembled with excitement.
Chen Mo, who is familiar with classics, naturally knows the horror of ghosts better than anyone else! They have no entity, and ordinary attacks cannot harm them at all. As long as there are fluctuations in spiritual power, they will rush forward like crazy, absorbing all the essence of the monk's flesh and blood. Their miserable appearance is simply worse than death. !
Chen Mo could make Chen Mo lose his composure, let alone Lin Yuqin who was standing beside him. Seeing that the ghost was about to reveal itself, she still stood there stunned. Chen Mo was so angry that he grabbed her arm, put away all the things on the ground, and headed directly in the direction he came from. She fled quickly. After a few breaths, Lin Yuqin woke up as if from a dream. She felt guilty and grateful to Chen Mo: "Brother Chen, I..."
"Stop talking! Escape first and then talk!"
Chen Mo had already used his escape speed to the extreme, but the threat behind him was faster than him. In less than a moment, the distance between the two sides was reduced to an extremely close level!
Chen Mo held the Flying Star Ruler in his hand and wanted to escape for a moment. But if this happened, the remaining Lin Yuqin would definitely end up like the female disciple of the Beast Control Sect, becoming a pile of withered bones in the cave. , he couldn't even bear to do it.
Just when Chen Mo was flying anxiously, Lin Yuqin suddenly said: "Brother Chen, there is a reason why the little girl was stunned just now. In order to resist the existence of ghosts, I specially purchased a few talismans to hide my figure. There should be a high probability You can deceive the ghost’s pursuit!”
"Junior sister, can you or can't you? Don't make fun of our lives!!" Chen Mo said solemnly with a livid face.
"Yes!" Lin Yuqin gritted her teeth and said firmly.
"Okay! The next corner of the cave is just ten breaths away. Be prepared to activate the talisman. Listen up! This is not a gentle competition in the sect. If you are not careful, we will die. Don't make a mistake!! "
Chen Mo was also betting that if Lin Yuqin's method had no effect, he would not have time to activate the Flying Star Ruler in such a short period of time. He could only forcefully activate the black stones in exchange for a more powerful speed to escape.
Ten breaths of time passed in an instant. Chen Mo paused suddenly at the corner, and Lin Yuqin clung tightly to the stone wall. The latter also took out two talisman papers like lightning, and a transparent light curtain covered their faces. His body seemed to be integrated with the stone wall in the dark cave.
It didn't take long for more than ten blurry white shadows to stop at the corner of the cave. They seemed to have suddenly lost their traces and began to wander in place. They exuded a cold aura, which made Chen Mo, who was clinging to the stone wall, Lin Yuqin's hands and feet were cold, and her heart was beating violently.
Suddenly, a blurry white shadow slowly turned back and looked at where Chen Mo and the two were, and gradually moved closer. Lin Yuqin was so frightened that her whole body trembled as if she had entered an ice cellar. This was the first time she had seen a ghost. From the front, the distance between the two sides is less than three inches. You can vaguely see the ferocious faces behind it. They are the monks in the Qi Refining Period who have been exploring for many years in the Forgotten Land! !
Seeing the danger approaching, Chen Mo covered Lin Yuqin's mouth. He didn't want to yell because the woman was scared and attract the eyes of these dozen ghosts. Then they would really die without a burial. It's over!
"It turns out that ghosts are transformed by monks from the past..."
This news was the first time that Chen Mo learned about it alive. In fact, most of the people who could know the news had already died, and those who were alive were unwilling to mention it, which led to an explanation that had never appeared in the classics.
Chen Mo swallowed hard, and the empty and lifeless face glanced at him again. In an instant, he was sweating profusely. He really felt the danger of the Forgotten Land. Life and death were in an instant!
Fortunately, Lin Yuqin's talisman played a vital role. After the ghost glanced around the stone wall, the white shadow floated to another place and began to investigate silently.
Chen Mo took a deep breath, rubbed Lin Yuqin's face, looked at his mouth shape and said, "How long can you hold on to this talisman?"
"Half...half an hour!" Lin Yuqin also responded to Chen Mo with the same mouth shape. It was obvious that the attack by the ghost this time scared her badly.
"Hold my flying star ruler. Fifteen breaths before the end of the cover, I will create an opportunity for you. You can take the opportunity to escape outside. Whether you can escape depends on your luck!"
Chen Mo touched his waist with his left hand, and the Flying Star Ruler was handed into Lin Yuqin's hands. For the two of them, this was the hope of a lifetime. Her eyes turned red, and she choked with sobs and mouthed: "Brother Chen... ..how about you?"
"I have my own solution, don't ask."
Chen Mo withdrew his gaze and silently held on to the Dust Bead purchased at the auction. He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He never expected that all his trump cards would be exhausted before he entered the second ring.
The two of them waited quietly for the fluctuations in the talisman to disappear, looking at the dozens of white shadows swaying in front of them with fear. But after half a stick of incense, the largest ghost suddenly lost interest and turned back to them. Such a move in the direction of the pool where they were originally made the two people who had narrowly escaped death feel ecstatic and almost shouted in excitement.
With the leader of the ghosts taking the lead to return, the rest of the little ghosts reluctantly left this place. Chen Mo was cautious, fearing that the ghosts would have the brains of a monk to fight back, so he waited for a while longer, after all the effects of the talisman paper disappeared. Cai and Lin Yuqin revealed their figures and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
