The situation on the field changed the instant the vengeful female ghost appeared!
The continuously flowing corpse oil seemed to be disturbed and slowly stopped.
The environment, which resembled a dryer, also began to cool down.
Jiang Qiao glanced at Li Xin and the others and found that they were in a semi-comatose state.
"It's a bit too much for them to withstand this corpse oil."
Jiang Qiao sighed softly.
These corpse oils carry a curse that allows them to invade the human body and eventually slowly replace it.
They originally flowed very slowly, so much so that even ordinary people could avoid them.
But who can blame them when the temperature is so high here?
When corpse oil evaporates into the air, it's not just a matter of smelling bad.
In a confined space, the pervasive presence of this eerie corpse oil would have unimaginable consequences.
Even if you hold your breath, it won't help!
Because once they get on your skin, they can even penetrate your body through your pores, making it impossible to prevent.
"At least we managed to summon the female ghost."
Jiang Qiao breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the Curse-like figure clash with the mummified child as soon as he emerged.
His plan was simple.
That clump of hair was part of the female ghost. After he swallowed it, his own flesh and blood could quickly make it grow and develop, to the point that he could establish some kind of connection with the female ghost.
Then, using the dice of fate, roll a low number and use bad luck to make the female ghost appear!
That's why he doesn't stuff his hair into someone else's stomach to grow.
Because the number rolled on the dice of fate only directly affects him.
If someone swallows a hair, and he throws out a number, it might trigger other unexpected events, reducing the chances of Kayako appearing.
He must ensure the greatest possible success!
In fact.
If he fails to roll a low number, he will immediately sacrifice the ghost baby and use his "wish" ability to forcibly change the result!
But that would be a waste of a peak fifth-tier vengeful ghost.
"Next, we'll wait until they've fought to a certain extent before looking for an opportunity to proceed with the next phase of our plan."
"Hopefully everything goes well and we can successfully trap it."
Because when the female ghost appeared, the mummified child grabbed its head.
So the two vengeful ghosts have now begun their battle.
Looking at the female ghost clones in the arena, Jiang Qiao gained a deeper understanding of the mummified child's strength.
This guy can at least temporarily keep the female ghost in check.
"Now it's time to settle our scores."
Jiang Qiao looked at the dazed old monk and said in a cold voice.
He remembered very clearly that this guy had just broken his own neck.
"Do you know that by summoning this vengeful ghost, we will all die!"
The old monk growled in a low voice, his face grim.
"Heh, what's wrong? You're a ghost, and you're afraid of dying?"
Jiang Qiao smiled.
However, a thought struck him.
It seems the mummified child is no match for the female ghost.
However, this is understandable.
After all, the female ghost had already stepped into the realm of ghost stories.
Although the mummified child was more terrifying than the ghost infants they had encountered before, it still hadn't reached the sixth rank.
However, it seems to be somewhat special, as it can temporarily ward off female ghosts.
At least for now, it seems like the two sides are evenly matched.
No one is unafraid of death.
The old monk said indifferently.
"Young man, I cannot leave the main hall for long. And I cannot let you and your companions leave either. So once the female ghost gains the upper hand, we will all die."
"So? What are you trying to say?" Jiang Qiao chuckled.
"Join forces! If you agree to join forces with me to drive away this female ghost, I can consider letting bygones be bygones and letting you leave."
"consider?"
"Would you like to reconsider your wording?"
Jiang Qiao's face showed a mocking expression.
"Yes, I'll consider it." The old monk didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.
"You have no choice. Join forces with me and you may live. But if you don't, you will surely die."
8Book.com
"I believe you understand how to choose."
The old monk spoke with an air of certainty, as if he had already won Jiang Qiao over.
In situations like this, any normal person would know what to choose.
However, Jiang Qiao smiled.
"Old man, if you had taken a few cephalosporins while drinking, you wouldn't have said such drunken things."
His smile carried a strong sense of mockery.
"I have no choice?"
As he laughed, a fierce glint appeared in Jiang Qiao's eyes.
"Screw your choice!"
Jiang Qiao stealthily disappeared from the spot.
The next moment.
The fist, imbued with thunder, slammed down on the old monk.
Jiang Qiao showed no mercy.
The black ball of lightning was contained within his fist. With the enhancement of "defense penetration" and "critical strike", the trajectory it blasted out distorted the surrounding air.
A smell of air being ionized and disrupted quickly filled the air!
Bang!
The moment the old monk disappeared from the river bridge, he became alert.
The stealth hadn't completely fooled him. He barely sensed Jiang Qiao as she approached.
But Jiang Qiao was extremely fast; before the old monk could react, his fist had already landed.
The old monk was struck hard in the back!
His spine snapped instantly, and he flew out like a tattered cotton coat, crashing heavily into a pillar in the main hall before bouncing to the ground.
Not only that, at the same moment the fist struck, Jiang Qiao swiftly pulled out a brick and smashed it into his head!
In a duel between masters, one wrong step leads to a series of wrong steps.
Although the old monk possessed the strength of a peak fifth-tier cultivator, he ultimately lost the initiative.
He was instantly double-clicked and paralyzed on the ground.
"kill!"
Jiangqiao disappeared from the spot once again.
The next moment.
He was engulfed in flames, wielding a kitchen knife, and slashed down at the old monk!
At this moment, the old monk had just regained some consciousness after being hit by the brick.
He rolled to the side to avoid the evil spirit's cleaver, but he couldn't dodge the oncoming "white bone fire".
A green flame ignited him.
"Your strength is somewhat inferior to that of the ghost infant."
Jiang Qiao said coldly, and swung the kitchen knife down again.
The reason I fought the ghost baby for so long was because that little ghost was special; it possessed ghostly energy and some kind of peculiar blood.
He can suppress the opponent, but it is difficult to kill it in the short term.
Ultimately, they had no choice but to resort to the tactic of luring the enemy.
After all, if the process drags on, things could change.
But this old monk was different; although he could take a beating, he was still moving despite being covered in wounds.
But it's only good at taking hits.
"You think you can kill me so easily?"
The old monk endured the agony of being burned alive, and with his spine and neck broken, his entire body was in a twisted state.
But he did not die.
Not only that, but a fierce expression appeared on his face.
"If you don't want me to live, then I'll drag you down to hell with me."
The next moment.
Jiang Qiao seemed to hear the sound of stones breaking.
Before he could react...
The entire Buddhist temple began to shake violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.
The Buddha statue standing in the center of the main hall was cracked during the violent earthquake.
A faint chill wafted over.
Do you know why all monks have to sit in a vat?
The old monk's face was contorted as he roared hysterically.
However.
When Jiang Qiao saw the crack, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
8bοok. CΟm
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
The tremors in the main hall caused the Buddha statue to crack.
A chilling aura emanated from the massive crack, seemingly connecting it to some eerie place.
Almost simultaneously, all the candlelight in the hall, which had been suppressed to the extreme by the curse, went out.
In an instant, they were plunged into darkness.
Outside the main hall, hurried footsteps sounded, as if many people were rushing towards them.
But everyone knew that there were no living people in this temple.
Is this your last resort?
Jiang Qiao looked at the old monk and suddenly found it somewhat amusing.
The other person's menacing demeanor reminded him of the Chihuahua that the old lady next door used to keep before he transmigrated.
That little thing always likes to provoke dogs that are much bigger than itself.
The old woman usually just watches with a smile.
When it encounters gentle dogs like Golden Retrievers or Labradors and is ignored, it thinks it's very powerful and becomes even more arrogant.
It even escalated to the point where they would chase after passing children!
Until one day, it rushed towards a bit.
Jiang Qiao still vividly remembers the old woman's heart-wrenching screams, as if her own mother had died.
It sounds great!
Seeing this old monk now, Jiang Qiao recalled the old woman's voice and smile, feeling that it was a perfect match.
"You'll never know what's buried beneath this great hall."
The old monk said with a face full of resentment.
"Once they climb up from below, you, and all the other evil spirits in this temple, will be buried."
Jiang Qiao looked at the old monk with amusement.
Through his gray vision, he could already see what was in the dark abyss: twisted worms.
They were densely packed together; the sheer number was staggering!
Moreover, almost everything in sight is of the fourth tier!
When did fourth-order mutant animals become so worthless?
"This temple holds a tremendous secret, and these monsters are the product of that secret."
The old monk looked somewhat deranged.
"I know you're a great fighter; you can wipe out a whole bunch of fourth-tier opponents in one go."
"But you can kill a hundred, five hundred, a thousand."
"Can you kill ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million?"
"When the quantity reaches a certain level, even piling it up can kill you!"
No sooner had the old monk finished speaking than a worm crawled out from inside.
It was an earthworm as thick as an arm, and it looked disgusting.
As soon as it came out, it attacked the old monk who was closest to it.
However, the old monk seemed to be in a strange state, as the insect actually passed right through his body.
"Um?"
Jiang Qiao squinted as he watched this scene.
"Invisibility? Blur? This old monk has that trick up his sleeve. Why didn't he use it just now?"
But Jiang Qiao quickly dismissed the idea.
He picked up an incense burner from the ground and threw it, hitting the old monk precisely on the head, proving that his state was not what Jiang Qiao had imagined.
"Hehe, I've lived here for twenty years."
The old monk said sarcastically.
"Let's see who can't hold on first."
The next second.
A large swarm of earthworms burst out of the hole, passed right through the old monk's body, and rushed straight towards Jiang Qiao.
"Boom!"
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle"
A burst of sparking electricity erupted from Jiang Qiao's hand, blasting all the earthworms into ashes in mid-air.
Not only that, a large ball of fire was thrown into the cave entrance.
The eerie green light soon gave off a burnt smell.
"It's no use, you can't kill them all."
The old monk twisted his badly injured body and sat down to one side.
Sure enough, the firelight in the cave quickly dimmed, as if it had been extinguished by something.
The next moment, a large swarm of insects emerged again.
Jiang Qiao swung his fist and smashed them into pieces in mid-air once again!
⑧вOОК·Cοм
The electric current flowed into the hole, producing a thick plume of black smoke.
"Your translucency must be related to the broken stone from before, right? Is that a relic of your body?"
Jiang Qiao recalled the old monk's previous actions.
Both the mummified child and the large crack are related to that stone.
The old monk smiled without saying a word, but the mockery in his eyes deepened.
at this time.
The mummified child in the scene is still confronting the cursed female ghost.
The two ghosts didn't make any big moves, just grabbed each other and engaged in a silent battle, which looked quite funny.
But Jiang Qiao knew very well that this silence concealed a terrifying supernatural conflict.
Therefore, he tried to stay away from the two vengeful ghosts to avoid getting involved.
Jiang Qiao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the mutated insects gushing out of the cave.
"For now, they're all at the fourth tier."
Upon hearing this, the old monk showed a look of pity.
Did you not hear what I just said?
"The insects here aren't particularly strong, but there are so many that even a sixth-tier expert wouldn't want to face them."
"You are now trapped in the main hall and cannot get out. Sooner or later, you will die from exhaustion."
"And these insects will attack that female ghost after you die."
"Although it won't have a significant effect, we can hold her off for a while with sheer numbers. Then I can think of other ways to get rid of her."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiao's last doubt was dispelled.
He grinned and set another fire into the cave entrance.
Then, he took out a talisman from his pocket!
This talisman is written in black ink on yellow paper. The talisman head looks like a ghost face, while the talisman core is covered with strange little characters.
These tiny characters are smaller than ant eggs; a normal person, without a magnifying glass, can only see a black dot.
"It's been a long time since I've used something like this."
Jiang Qiao was somewhat moved.
The old monk watched Jiang Qiao's actions with great interest, as if he were watching a play.
How could he possibly manage a number that even a sixth-order unit couldn't clear?
If they're really that powerful, how could they be trapped here?
It was nothing more than a struggle before death.
hehe!
Jiang Qiao ignored the old monk and stared intently at the crack.
The ball of fire that had been inserted earlier was still shining brightly.
This means there is a cleared-out space inside.
After all, the flames could burn the long worm to death wherever they passed. Since they hadn't been extinguished, it meant that the long worm hadn't been able to break through for the time being.
That's great!
Without hesitation, Jiang Qiao lit the talisman in his hand and threw it in!
The next moment, he threw Li Xin and the others into a corner and quickly took out the shroud from the swamp cemetery.
The shroud was large and filthy, its material unknown. However, it possessed extremely strong defensive capabilities; even a vengeful spirit's cleaver could hardly cut through it.
Jiang Qiao was originally intended to be used to make armor, but unfortunately the smell was too awful, so he gave up after a few days.
But now, I can't worry about that anymore!
Without this shroud, Li Xin and the others would all die here, which is not the outcome Jiang Qiao wants to see.
Just to be on the safe side, he even opened the Ghost Realm!
A hazy, gray aura enveloped the corner of the wall, enveloping him and Li Xin and the others.
The old monk stared in astonishment at Jiang Qiao's actions, not having had time to react.
The entire hall suddenly fell silent for a few seconds.
Immediately following was a buzzing sound.
Then, the sound grew louder and more intense.
The entire hall began to tremble.
Boom!
Finally, a tremendous roar and shock nearly lifted the entire building off the ground!
glare!
Loud voice!
A terrifying magnetic field and lightning burst forth from the cave entrance.
It swept through the entire hall!
⑧BOOK. COM
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
Boom!
A terrifying, destructive force erupted in the space beneath the rift!
This power was so immense that it burst forth directly from the cracks, wreaking havoc throughout the entire hall.
Blinding lightning.
Terrifyingly low temperatures.
A powerful mental magnetic field!
And an irresistible, bone-scraping storm!
Jiang Qiao felt that in an instant, the Ghost Realm showed signs of instability, as if it would be forcibly broken open at any moment.
"How scary."
"If we were to confront them head-on, the Ghost Realm would probably be instantly dispersed."
Jiang Qiao grinned.
The mere spillover of power is so terrifying; how could those long worms beneath the crack possibly withstand it?
"Supernatural technology is indeed the way out for humanity's future."
Jiang Qiao smiled with satisfaction as he sensed the boundless energy emanating from the crack.
Jiang Qiao named this talisman "Big Mushroom"!
During the simulation, in order to fight against the vengeful ghost, he cooperated with the authorities and obtained several nuclear bombs.
Through his supernatural modifications, these nuclear bombs gained the ability to kill vengeful ghosts!
The light radiation turned into thunder.
The high temperature turned into an unbearable, frigid temperature in the underworld.
The penetrating radiation transformed into a spiritual magnetic field.
The shockwave, however, was a bone-scraping, chilling wind capable of tearing away flesh and scattering vengeful spirits. But this wind was far too powerful; it had already transformed into a storm!
Jiang Qiao once used a modified 1,000-ton tactical nuclear weapon to cause enormous damage to the girl with braids and instantly destroyed her numerous clones.
This talisman was made from a nuclear bomb with a yield of 10,000 tons!
The surging power has reached the fifth level!
Moreover, this is not an ordinary fifth-tier event, but equivalent to hundreds of thousands of fifth-tier powerhouses attacking at the same time.
Under this boundless and terrifying energy, the millions of worms trapped in the confined space would inevitably be reduced to ashes!
Even a sixth-tier being couldn't stand it!
"Unfortunately, I don't have many left."
Jiang Qiao felt a little regretful.
To turn a nuclear bomb into a portable talisman, one would need a sixth-tier "Heavenly Talisman" in conjunction with at least a sixth-tier "Frankenstein's monster".
These talismans were all leftovers from his simulations, which he then materialized.
It's fair to say that each one used is one less available.
He is still very valuable until his strength improves.
...
Half an hour later.
The lightning dissipated.
At this point, the entire hall was completely unrecognizable, a scene of utter devastation.
The offering table has disappeared.
The Buddha statue was also shattered.
Most of the pillars supporting the house have broken, and the remaining two or three are also about to break.
To Jiang Qiao's surprise, the main hall did not collapse despite such terrifying power!
"No wonder this guy was so confident that I couldn't get out."
Jiang Qiao walked to the old monk's side and found him on the verge of death, barely clinging to life.
"Really tough."
Although he was covered in wounds, and his body was twisted into a pretzel shape.
But he just won't die!
This was also the first time Jiang Qiao had ever seen such a monster.
"You...you..."
The old monk stared blankly at Jiang Qiao, his lips parted as if he wanted to speak, but he couldn't utter a word.
All his arrogance vanished.
All that remained was disbelief and bewilderment on his face.
"I don't need to say 'you, you, you' anymore."
Rest in peace.
Jiang Qiao took out a kitchen knife and chopped it off on his head.
"Click"
Inside his head, there was nothing but a tiny bit of dried food, about the size of a walnut kernel.
However, Jiang Qiao was horrified to discover that this guy was still alive!
Still struggling!
He even glared angrily at Jiang Qiao because of the pain!
"Tsk tsk tsk."
⒏ьОoK． соm
Jiang Qiao was somewhat shocked.
This vitality is just too strong!
Finally, he wrapped the old monk in a bunch of sealing talismans and threw him aside.
After dealing with the old monk's matter.
Jiang Qiao then looked at the battle between the two fierce ghosts in the arena.
The mummified child's limbs were twisted, and its waist was in a strange position, as if it were broken.
Even the dry, brittle skin on his body was charred black, with no intact parts to be found.
Its condition was even worse than the old monk's; it had stopped moving altogether.
On the other hand, the cursed female ghost on the opposite side, although also broken and unable to move, was not dead.
Moreover, her body has even begun to show signs of self-repair!
"No wonder it's almost a ghost story."
"They didn't die even after all that."
Jiang Qiao stared at the cursed female ghost and let out a gasp of surprise.
He did not attempt to kill the female ghost, because it would be futile.
In just a few hours, she will be standing perfectly intact in front of you, continuing her supernatural attacks.
So from the very beginning, Jiang Qiao's plan was to keep her trapped somewhere.
"Give it a try."
"Although the plan has gone off track, the current situation is better than originally envisioned."
"Some steps can be omitted."
Jiang Qiao first went to Tian Ye's side, picked him up, and threw him next to the female ghost.
"Tianye's ability is wrestling; the ghosts he trips cannot get up. But the downside is that his talent doesn't come with control or enhancement, so the ghosts can directly fight back, and he'll be dead before he can even trip them up."
"But what if I help him strengthen it?"
"It doesn't need to last too long."
"One minute."
Jiang Qiao's eyes flashed as he took out a large pile of talismans to increase defense.
"No, the talisman can't stop the cursed female ghost."
"Let's make a wish instead."
After thinking for a moment, just to be on the safe side, Jiang Qiao took out a copper coin that was a fifth-order vengeful ghost.
"This is the last Tier 5 item."
He sighed.
Now, of the five tiers he possesses, only one ghost infant remains alive.
As for the old monk, his situation was a bit special.
He planned to see if he could turn the begging bowl into coins later.
The next moment.
A large patch of scabies began to grow on his body, and something was moving on the scabies.
However, the ringworm disappeared very quickly.
"The strange entity within Tianye has fully awakened and cannot leave his body for three minutes, nor can it be killed by the Cursed Woman Ghost."
Jiang Qiao quickly made a wish.
Suddenly, the unconscious field began to change drastically.
Strange blue veins and blood vessels appeared on his feet, and tiny children's hands wriggled under his skin.
These hands are all only half-sized, as if they were cleaved in two with a knife.
Even the middle finger is neatly cut in half.
Ignoring the terrifying situation, Jiang Qiao grabbed Tian Ye and immediately felt Tian Ye's foot reach out to trip him.
Jiang Qiao dodged the attack and threw the ghost onto her.
The next second.
The female ghost, who was about to get up, fell to the ground.
Not only that, Tianye's feet were also wrapped tightly around the female ghost's feet, preventing her from getting up.
The female ghost was furious.
But she couldn't move her body, so she had to reach out and grab Tianye's neck.
Life in the fields began to slip away rapidly.
Jiang Qiao's expression changed upon seeing this.
He discovered that the strange energy within Tianye's body was also weakening.
"I'm afraid it won't last three minutes."
"It's a bit of a stretch for a fifth-tier vengeful ghost to make a wish."
I dare not delay any longer.
Jiang Qiao immediately took out the cardboard and pushed open the window on it.
A faint breeze drifted by.
The windows were pitch black, and I had no idea where they led.
Jiang Qiao approached the female ghost with the cardboard and suddenly slammed it down on her head!
⑧bОΟК． Сом
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
The window on the cardboard came from a fat young man.
He can draw a window that connects to a mysterious space.
Jiang Qiao had watched the entire battle between the young man and the vengeful ghost from the mountaintop, and the final vengeful ghost was trapped inside the window.
He even clearly remembers that the window on the paper returned to its original shape as a portrait a minute later.
Therefore, he speculated that this was the duration of opening a window once.
Based on this, he planned to do the same thing, putting the cursed female ghost into the window and exiling her into the supernatural world!
But the female ghost won't obediently comply; she won't do whatever you ask her to do.
And you can't kill her, otherwise she'll resurrect in that eerie house and come back to haunt you!
So Jiang Qiao came up with a solution.
He used the talent of the silent youth Tianye to trip up the female ghost so she couldn't get up.
Once the window is restored to its original state as a painting, he will completely destroy the cardboard, leaving the female ghost forever lost in the supernatural realm.
As for the crack in front of him, Jiang Qiao regarded it as a backup option in case of any unexpected events.
However, Tianye's ability has too many flaws. Although he can trip up the female ghost in a way that doesn't make sense, or even hold her down, he doesn't have any other control effects or physical enhancements.
The female ghost only needs to give him a light touch, and he'll be dead.
Basically, it's a talent for suicide.
In this situation, Jiang Qiao used his "wish-making" ability to directly awaken the eerie power in the fields and temporarily withstand the female ghost's attacks without dying.
He just didn't expect that the wish he made by sacrificing a fifth-level vengeful ghost couldn't even last three minutes!
This was even after the female ghost was already seriously injured.
So Jiang Qiao felt he couldn't waste any more time, so he immediately took the cardboard and went to the female ghost, covering her head with it!
The windows on the cardboard were completely open.
It was pitch black behind the window; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
It was like an abyss, endless and boundless, with only a cold wind blowing in your face, chilling you to the bone.
I don't know how that fat guy awakened such a strange ability.
Upon seeing Jiang Qiao, the female ghost immediately abandoned the field in front of her and reached out to grab him!
But what greeted her was a black electric current.
"Already seriously injured, yet still dares to act violently."
Jiang Qiao, with lightning in his hand, exerted a kind of suppression on the female ghost, and then forcefully poured the window down over her head!
The cardboard was large, and the window was also quite big. After the female ghost and Tianye were put inside, there was no obstruction at all.
Jiang Qiao and Fatty are not the same.
Faced with the struggling ghost, the fat man and the other young men could only forcibly hold down the cardboard to prevent it from coming out.
Jiang Qiao, without any hesitation, punched the female ghost, sending her flying deeper into the window, so deep that even his double pupils could no longer see her.
There's been no movement.
Jiang Qiao stared at it for a while and noticed that the female ghost's struggles had stopped.
"Never mind, let's destroy this window first."
The plan is now complete; the rest is up to us to see if it works.
If this thing doesn't trap her and she comes back to life from that haunted house, then there will be a fight to be had in the next few days!
After all, those young men were all dead, and his fields were deserted.
With only five people, it's really difficult to survive the endless supernatural attacks.
Just as Jiang Qiao was about to imitate the fat man, he wiped the window and destroyed the cardboard.
Suddenly, a strange noise came from the darkness.
Immediately afterwards, he saw two figures slowly emerge from the darkness.
They turned out to be two women dressed as nurses.
Their once pristine white clothes were now tattered and filthy, revealing their rotting skin.
When Jiang Qiao saw that face, his expression changed slightly.
The woman's pale face was completely blank, smooth as an egg.
This reminded him of the curse of the girl with the braid.
This curse will turn a person into a faceless person in about thirty days.
Behind the two strange nurses, a stretcher was being carried. Because the nurses were lying flat, it was impossible to see who they were.
However, judging from the feet wearing gray funeral shoes, it should be a dead person.
Or rather, it's a vengeful ghost!
"Is the change due to the window being open for too long, or did I throw a ghost in?"
Jiang Qiao didn't hesitate and closed the window immediately.
8bOOK.com
One minute.
He observed this time from the mountain.
One minute later, the window on this piece of paper will be transformed back into a painting.
When that time comes, the vengeful ghost will be unable to emerge.
Bang!
A loud crash was heard through the window.
The force of the impact nearly forced the window to open again.
Jiang Qiao immediately pressed down on the cardboard, and at the same time, the electric current and flames in his hand sealed off the entire area.
Before the window disappeared, the cardboard was covered by some kind of rule.
Therefore, neither the supernatural "White Bone Fire" nor the "Lightning Thunder Fist" could damage the cardboard.
Bang!
The impact was very strong.
Jiang Qiao could vaguely see the outlines of two faces on the window.
It was completely bare, and you couldn't see any facial features.
He knew that the two vengeful nurses wanted to force their way out of the window!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The terrifying impact was so severe that even Jiangqiao was struggling to withstand it.
The two faces that were originally pasted on the window now numbered four.
It is also an outline without facial features.
With their addition, the supernatural power exerted on the windows became even greater.
Four faces even dented out of the window.
The originally solid glass window now seemed to have been transformed into a relief sculpture!
However, this situation did not last long.
About a minute later, all the faces stopped moving and then quickly disappeared.
And that window, once real, has been transformed into a pencil sketch.
"This thing is really dangerous."
Jiang Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, somewhat amazed.
They were even more curious about the fat man's talent.
If that guy were still alive, he might have asked the other person to draw a few more for him to study.
But unfortunately.
The fat man is most likely dead now.
This painting cannot be kept, otherwise, problems may arise.
So he first wiped away the pencil marks on it.
Next, he took out a lighter and lit the cardboard.
As the paper turned to ashes, the last haunted window became history.
However, whether all of this can trap the female ghost remains to be seen.
"Alright, the female ghost has been dealt with for now."
"If we don't hear from the female ghost in the next few days, we might have a rather dull and boring five days."
After finishing his work, he went to the corner and checked the injuries of Li Xin and the others.
It was found that there was nothing seriously wrong.
"Great, I can get back alive."
Uncle Rowan was the first to react and immediately shouted happily.
Li Xin and the others standing nearby also looked delighted.
"Although the female ghost has been dealt with, we can't be too happy yet."
Jiang Qiao arrived at the gate and pushed it, only to find that it was somewhat loose.
This means that with a little effort, she could definitely get out.
Then, peering out through the gap, all that was visible was a blood-red color.
Apart from that, there was no scenery at all.
"We must be trapped here by ghosts."

Well--
Jiang Qiao's words instantly froze the smiles of everyone present.
Yes, they're still in the haunted temple, surrounded by a huge horde of ghosts and monsters; it's definitely not a time for them to be happy.
And most importantly.
They are currently experiencing physical problems, which, while not affecting their mobility, render them incapable of fighting.
It has become a real burden.
Would Jiang Qiao still be willing to take them along?
A solemn expression appeared on everyone's face as they looked at Jiang Qiao, their eyes flashing with pleading.
"Pfft..."
Jiang Qiao suddenly laughed.
"It's alright, the ghosts outside are all ordinary and easy to deal with. Relax."
Perhaps because the mummified child and the old monk were both dead and seriously injured, the supernatural power of this hall was greatly weakened.
Not only did his blocking ability weaken, but he could even barely see through the gate in front of him.
Although a large number of fierce ghosts stood outside like wooden puppets, they were not actually very strong.
They are generally only second- or third-order.
Hearing Jiang Qiao's words, Li Xin and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Thanks.
Aside from a simple thank you, they didn't know what else to say.
Does that mean that once they return alive, they'll be at the mercy of others?
Or, for others, Li Xin's strength is not bad, and Xue Lan has two abilities that can be used to recruit people to increase one's own strength.
But what level of big shot is Jiang Qiao?
Fifth rank!
Moreover, even among the fifth tier, it is currently the top level.
Putting everything else aside, the power of that talisman alone gave them a feeling of facing God!
Li Xin was absolutely certain that if this talisman were thrown into their village...
From the sacrificial spirits to the newlyweds, everyone must die!
With such strength, you want to follow them? Wouldn't that be giving yourself an easy advantage?
What right do you have to associate with them?
You are welcome.
Jiang Qiao said it casually.
"We don't know the current situation of the female ghost. Perhaps she has been restrained. It's also possible that she will continue to attack us tomorrow."
"But in any case, it's best to leave this temple for now."
Whatever secrets are hidden here, it has nothing to do with us. After all, we are just passersby in this city.
After saying that, he opened his palm, and a black, ball-shaped lightning bolt grew larger and appeared in his hand.
boom!
With a loud crash, the door to the main hall shattered.
The vengeful spirits outside rushed in the instant the door shattered, like sprinters who had been prepared all along!
"court death."
Jiang Qiao gave a cold laugh.
The next moment.
Countless talismans appeared around him and shot out wildly!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
In just a moment, the army of vengeful ghosts, composed of second and third-tier beings, vanished into thin air.
No high-level vengeful spirits appeared.
As he walked out of the main hall, he looked into the corridor, which was empty and devoid of anything.
The enormous Buddhist temple in the central square still stands, and the towering top of the temple can be faintly seen.
"Let's go."
Jiang Qiao led Li Xin and the others toward the gate.
But just then...
The front door was opened from the outside.
A group of fully armed soldiers rushed in and pointed their guns at the river bridge.
"Don't move!"
"stop!"
"..."
Commands were issued from their mouths.
Jiang Qiao stopped in his tracks upon seeing this, a playful expression on his face.
"That's interesting."
"Have the officials arrived?"
⑧book.com
soon.
From behind this group, another large wave of people surged in.
Jiang Qiao raised an eyebrow slightly.
He noticed that the three people walking at the front had supernatural energy emanating from them.
These three men are: one is bald, one has a slicked-back hairstyle, and one is as strong as an ox.
It looks quite interesting.
They're not that strong; even the strongest one, the bald guy, is only at the third tier.
However, Jiang Qiao did not lower his guard just because the opponent was weak.
As local officials, they would know the dangers of Luohan Temple better than anyone else, so it's impossible that they were completely unprepared.
That old monk said it before.
This city, once a place of great evil and malevolence, has been transformed into something akin to a spirit offering sacrifice!
This alone is something Jiangqiao should pay attention to.
Good evening, everyone.
When the man with the slicked-back hair saw Jiang Qiao and his group, he paused for a moment.
He discovered that the group of people in front of him were completely different from the photos of the young men they had.
However, he quickly suppressed his doubts.
"May I ask how you all are addressed?"
Jiang Qiao looked at his smiling face and chuckled softly as well.
"We were just a group of passersby who stumbled into Luohan Temple and found that it was full of evil spirits."
"We finally killed a batch and were just about to leave."
His tone was gentle, but it carried a chilling murderous aura, causing the three men with slicked-back hair to change color slightly.
"Such formidable strength."
Bald Jiang Fei closed his eyes slightly, as if sensing something, and then spoke in a solemn tone.
"Your strength is truly admirable. May I ask what brings you to my Yi City?"
"You don't need to be nervous."
Jiang Qiao glanced at his hand, which was tucked into his pocket and seemed to be holding a razor blade.
"To be honest, we accidentally wandered into a haunted house and were being chased by a female ghost. In order to get rid of her, we had no choice but to come to this temple."
"I originally wanted to see if there were any experts, but all I found was a temple full of vengeful ghosts."
"However, after the female ghost followed us in, she seemed to be fighting with another vengeful ghost."
Jiang Qiao pointed to the main hall behind him.
"The vengeful ghost was a monk. He opened a crack, and now two vengeful ghosts and a dried-up child have all fallen into the crack."
Jiang Qiao's words are nine times true and one time false.
When he came out, the old monk had already turned the begging bowl into a coin.
Now there's nothing left in the main hall, only cracks.
If these people have the guts, they should go down and check it out.
"I see."
Jiang Fei nodded and said with a smile.
"That female ghost is terrifying; if she were to wander outside, she would cause a great deal of casualties."
"We tracked her down because we found her trail, and we wanted to seal her away again."
"However, according to the information we received before we came, the female ghost was with a group of young people. I wonder if you have seen them?"
Jiang Fei also held back in his speech.
It's true they were tracking the female ghost, and it's true they wanted to seal her away. But they came to Luohan Temple for an even more important purpose.
"They are all dead."
Jiang Qiao replied with a smile.
"Yeah?"
Jiang Fei said with some regret.
"We originally wanted to save them, but we didn't expect they were already dead."
At this point, he suddenly changed the subject.
"Sir, we, as the management, are very happy to welcome you to Yicheng."
"Would you do me the honor of having a meal with me?"
These words were spoken.
Li Xin and the others became alert.
It's 4:30 in the morning, what kind of meal is this?
"oh?"
Jiang Qiao looked at the bald man with a half-smile.
"But we're not hungry."
The burly man, who had been silent all along, suddenly looked at Jiang Qiao and said in a stiff tone:
"No, you're hungry."
The next moment.
Jiang Qiao looked up abruptly and saw a giant white hand appear in the sky!
8bOOK. com
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
The sky gradually changed from complete darkness to a dark red.
Within the dark red clouds, a giant white hand was faintly visible.
The palm was about the size of several football fields, and it had an unnatural paleness, like a corpse that had been hidden in a freezer and dragged out again.
It carried a sense of coldness and eeriness.
As Jiang Qiao looked up, lines appeared on his palm, looking similar to the palm lines on a normal person's hand.
"A god?"
"But it doesn't quite look like it."
Jiang Qiao squinted.
This eerie white hand reminded him of the overwhelming, sky-covering deities he had encountered during the simulation.
They possess incredible power, yet they also seem to carry some kind of curse and ominousness.
It lacked the solemn and dignified appearance of the gods in legends, instead exuding a rot and malice even deeper than that of a vengeful ghost.
However, compared to those insurmountable forces in the simulation.
This hand is not so powerful as to inspire despair.
Jiang Qiao vaguely sensed that its strength was around the sixth level.
"Is this the spirit that haunts this city?"
Jiang Qiao had some guesses in his mind.
"How about it, young man, come with us?"
The bald man, Jiang Fei, extended the invitation again with a smile, but his tone carried a hint of threat.
"Interesting."
"Are you sure you can have me under your thumb?"
Jiang Qiao revealed a dangerous smile, a fierce glint in his eyes.
Since acquiring the simulator, he has always been the one threatening others, never the one being threatened.
Even before he transmigrated, as a landlord, he was at least the one who had the final say with his tenants. He could reduce the rent whenever they wanted!
Upon arriving in this wretched place, I was threatened by some clueless bastards.
"Young man, don't be so rude. I just wanted to invite you and a few friends to come over."
"It's getting late. This temple is temporarily closed. Let's leave now."
"I'll have someone take you down the mountain in a bit, and I'll be there shortly after."
After Jiang Fei finished speaking, he waved his hand.
Several soldiers walked towards the river bridge.
Li Xin and the others immediately tensed up, gripping their weapons and preparing to fight back at any moment.
Jiang Qiao then saw the lifeline of the giant hand in the sky begin to fade. A blood-red line was hurtling towards him!
"hehe."
"There's something, but not much."
A fierce current shot out from Jiang Qiao's hand, soaring straight into the sky. The moment it came into contact with the blood-red line, it turned to ashes!
Immediately afterwards.
He vanished from the spot in a stealth move.
When they reappeared, they were already next to the bald man.
The man with the slicked-back hair smiled slightly as he saw the river bridge just a step away.
"Good idea, let's take us down first."
"But you're too naive."
At the same time.
The palm in the sky made a downward pressing motion!
Jiang Qiao felt a terrifying pressure coming from the sky, like Mount Tai pressing down on him!
This immense force caused his body to crack and shatter into pieces.
However, very soon.
The smile on the slicked-back hair froze.
Because he saw Jiang Qiao become completely unharmed in the blink of an eye, and then grab Jiang Qiao and Jiang Fei by the throat with one hand each.
"You guys are really naive."
Jiang Qiao burst into laughter.
"How is that possible!"
The remaining burly man looked shocked.
"Your strength is far from enough to withstand Lord Bai's attack!"
An expression of disbelief also appeared on the slicked-back hair's face.
All his composure vanished at that moment.
Li Xin and the others standing at the entrance of the main hall also breathed a sigh of relief.
The moment that hand in the sky made its move, even though it wasn't specifically targeted at them, they still felt an aura of death.
This energy is like standing on the beach facing a tsunami.
It's irresistible and incomprehensible.
Only despair!
But unexpectedly, Jiang Qiao actually withstood such damage!
Could it be that his strength has already exceeded the fifth rank?
"No, that's not right."
Li Xin quickly realized what was happening.
"Mr. Jiang seems to have a talent for instantly restoring his body."
"He has used it several times in the past two days."
Xue Lan, recalling Jiang Qiao's several near-fatal injuries that ultimately resulted in his survival, said with a hint of envy:
"What an amazing ability! It's like having more than one life."
"I don't know what the side effects of this ability are."
On the other side...
"Do you know what you're doing?" Jiang Fei said in a low voice, now that he was captured.
"We are the city's administrators. If you kill us, the entire city will do anything to get back at you."
"Do you want to die with me?"
He finished speaking.
⑧ьσOK． Соm
A group of armed soldiers had surrounded Li Xin and his companions.
Li Xin, Xue Lan, and the others also showed no weakness, taking out their weapons and confronting these people.
Even though they temporarily lost most of their strength because they breathed in the corpse oil, they were still not someone that ordinary soldiers could handle.
A standoff ensued.
And the pale white hand in the sky changed again.
It begins to slowly contract, as if it's about to clench into a fist!
"You dare threaten me?"
Sensing the increasingly intense malevolent aura from the sky, Jiang Qiao kicked Jiang Fei in the leg without hesitation.
Click!
"ah--"
A scream rang out as Jiang Fei's shinbone was shattered.
Do you really want to die?
Jiang Fei's face twisted in pain, and his eyes revealed a look of resentment and malice.
"You think you can leave the city alive by taking me hostage?"
Jiang Qiao ignored him and looked up at the sky.
The enormous hand did not shrink back at all; it was completely clenched into a fist.
The fist is facing downwards.
It seems like they're about to unleash a powerful attack at any moment!
Did you see that?
"That's what the burly man said in a sinister tone."
"Lord Bai will not let you go just because you took us hostage. On the contrary, he will consider you a dangerous element."
"So if you don't want to die, you'd better let them go."
Jiang Qiao frowned slightly.
These bastards are quite troublesome.
It's absolutely impossible to let go of the people in my hands now; that would be suicide.
However, if they were all killed, it would probably be difficult to leave the city.
"Let me go and come back with us, and you'll have a chance to live."
"Big Back Hair!" he hissed in a low voice.
His neck was being gripped by Jiang Qiao, and his voice was somewhat hoarse.
This situation filled him with resentment towards Jiang Qiao. He had already planned that as soon as he could escape, he would immediately contact Lord Bai to take action and capture this damned guy.
We'll deal with him slowly when the time comes!
"hehe."
Jiang Qiao suddenly shouted to Li Xin and the others behind him:
"You may enter the main hall first."
Upon hearing Jiang Qiao's instructions, although they did not know the reason, everyone immediately retreated into the Buddhist hall behind them.
The armed soldiers dared not go in; they stood at the doorway, guns in hand, pointing inside.
The people behind the big boss didn't care about Li Xin and his group's behavior; they were staring intently at Jiang Qiao.
"You have no choice, release us immediately!"
"Otherwise, we would surely die without a burial place today!"
Jiang Fei shouted.
The man with the slicked-back hair nodded and said:
"You have achieved your current strength by experiencing many unimaginable dangers and hardships."
Why act impulsively out of anger?
The burly man over there chimed in.
"Originally, this was just a misunderstanding. Before things escalated into something serious, there's still a chance for reconciliation."
"Otherwise, you will never be able to leave this city!"
The three of them played the good cop and the bad cop.

The three of them played the good cop and the bad cop.
Some used threats, others reasoned with them.
Jiang Qiao suddenly laughed.
This is probably what they mean by "if you can beat them, they'll act like thugs; if you can't, they'll start reasoning with you."
"You've misunderstood, you idiot!"
The next moment.
A terrifying bolt of lightning shot out from his palm, instantly engulfing Jiang Fei's upper body.
He realized that this guy was probably the most decisive of the three.
The bald man didn't react at all; only half of his body remained.
The gap in strength is too big!
Jiang Qiao's sudden act of killing shocked everyone present.
The giant fist in the sky suddenly fell, hurtling towards Jiang Qiao!
Jiang Qiao stepped back without hesitation.
But he did not put down the middle-aged man with the slicked-back hair.
Laugh!
The gray ghostly aura surged towards the sky, the slowing effect causing the fist to pause.
But only for three seconds.
The fist broke through the ghost realm and came crashing down!
But three seconds was enough time for Jiang Qiao to retreat into the Buddhist temple.
Boom!!!
A tremendous sound echoed in the courtyard outside the main hall.
Although Jiang Qiao couldn't see what was happening outside, the fact that the walls of the Buddhist temple were already beginning to disintegrate made him realize the power of this attack!
"Sixth-tier is indeed terrifying!"
Jiang Qiao dared not linger.
"Go! Get into the crevice!"
He shouted to Li Xin and the others, and without hesitation grabbed the slick-back-haired man and jumped into the crack under the Buddha statue.

Facing a sixth-order evil spirit.
Jiang Qiao jumped into the gap in the main hall without hesitation.
Upon hearing his reminder, Li Xin and the others followed suit.
The group had just entered the crevice.
A loud crash came from behind as a house collapsed.
After suffering a series of severe blows, the Buddhist temple was finally destroyed by this giant hand.
Jiang Qiao, gripping Da Beitou's back, descended rapidly through the crack.
This is a downward tunnel, similar to a well.
Both sides are paved with blue bricks, which must have been covered with moss before.
However, after being exposed by the giant mushroom, the wall was severely damaged, revealing the soil layer behind it.
Jiang Qiao touched the soil.
It was damp and smelled foul, as if it had been soaking in corpse water for a long time.
"What lies beneath this soil is definitely not normal underground."
The tunnel was very deep, and Jiangqiao would occasionally use the uneven terrain to slow down his descent.
The slicked-back hair in his hand fell silent after entering the crack.
Do you know where this is?
Jiang Qiao asked while controlling his descent.
The man with the slicked-back hair glanced at him and remained silent.
"I advise you to be honest, or you'll suffer more later."
Jiang Qiao gave a cold laugh.
He was acting all arrogant outside just now, but now he's putting on airs again.
He hates guys like that the most.
So a slight current emanated from my hand.
"ah--"
A scream echoed in the confined space, starting the few people falling behind.
Because it was completely dark around them and they couldn't see anything, Li Xin immediately asked:
"Mr. Jiang, what happened?"
"It's nothing, this guy's just being disobedient, I'm just disciplining him."
Jiang Qiao chuckled.
"Uncle, you'd better cooperate with my work."
I am not a patient person.
The man with the slicked-back hair trembled all over from the electric shock, and it took him a while to calm down.
In the darkness, he couldn't see Jiang Qiao clearly, but from the tone of his voice, he could roughly guess what expression Jiang Qiao had.
He gave a wry smile.
"I never expected that my trip to Luohan Temple would lead me to encounter a monster like you."
"They actually managed to escape from Lord Bai's clutches."
"However, your luck has run out; the area below this crack is no good."
This is hell!
hell?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiao's mind stirred.
This is not a good title.
"What do you mean by hell? Do you mean those earthworm-like things?"
The man with the slicked-back hair was slightly taken aback when he heard this.
"You actually know about those monsters."
"Indeed, those endless swarms of insects are truly terrifying."
"However, we have not seen them after descending for so long, and the surrounding area has become dilapidated."
8ЬσОK． Соm
What did you do before?
The man with the slicked-back hair retorted.
"What we did is none of your concern. You just need to answer me: besides the bugs, is there anything else down there?"
Jiang Qiao said in a cold voice.
"Of course there are other things."
The middle-aged man shook his head and continued:
"Although there are many of those insects, they only live inside the tunnel. This is because they themselves grow from the soil outside the tunnel."
"We don't usually leave this tunnel, so it looks extremely threatening, but in reality, there is no danger as long as you don't get close."
"But at the end of the tunnel, there were all sorts of chaotic monsters and incomprehensible rules."
He paused for a moment, seemingly unsure how to organize his thoughts.
"Rules... well, you can think of them as something like the female ghost you encountered."
"But she's even scarier than a female ghost."
Jiang Qiao understood immediately.
Below are some real-life rule-based ghost stories!
"Damn it."
He cursed under his breath.
"Why are there so many strange things in your city?"
"Haunted house, female ghost, haunted temple, Lord Bai, and this so-called hell."
"I heard that this city used to be a dead city. How did humans end up gathering here?"
Jiang Qiao recalled what the old monk had mentioned before.
In its earliest days, this city, like other human cities he had ever seen, was desolate and filled with terrifying evil spirits.
But later, somehow, it became a human settlement, and the evil spirit transformed into something akin to a sacrificial spirit.
By the way, that evil spirit must have been the giant hand that was floating in the sky earlier.
Hearing the slick-haired guy and the others address him as "Lord Bai"!
When the man with the slicked-back hair heard Jiang Qiao's question, he paused for a moment, his tone carrying a hint of confusion:
"To be honest, I don't know why this city went from being a dead city to a living city."
"You're a city management officer, how could you not know?"
"Are you trying to trick me?"
A current surged through Jiang Qiao's hand once again.
This amount of electricity won't kill this guy, it won't even hurt him.
But it was enough to make him feel pain.
"Although I am the administrator, this city has existed since I was born."
"Ahead of us, there were three generations of administrators."
"I was once very interested in the origins of the city, but no matter how I investigated, I couldn't find any information."
The man with the slicked-back hair felt the tingling sensation and quickly replied.
"What about Lord Bai? He should have existed since the city was founded. Didn't you ask him?"
"Master Bai?"
Upon hearing this name, a hint of apprehension flashed across the slick-haired man's face.
"We don't dare to disturb it casually. We only ask it to help when there are major events in the city."
"and."
"Although Lord Bai was once the guardian deity of the dead city transformed from evil spirits, there are many places in this city that he cannot influence."
"Like hell."
"Before Lord Bai, it was Luohan Temple that suppressed the entrance to hell."
"But ten years ago, the abbot of Luohan Temple suddenly disappeared after sealing the female ghost."
"And Luohan Temple was transformed into a ghost town overnight."
"Lord Bai was completely unaware of this."

Is Lord Bai unable to control the city?
Jiang Qiao had previously heard the old monk say that the evil spirits in the city had become something like sacrificial spirits, protecting the entire city.
Therefore, he had a preconceived notion that the so-called Lord Bai should be similar to the sacrificial spirits of various villages, possessing extremely strong control over the entire city and its surrounding areas!
But now, listening to what Big Back Hair is saying, it seems that's not the case?
Jiang Qiao frowned slightly as he recalled the enormous fist that had fallen from the sky.
That does seem to make some sense.
If they are truly similar to sacrificial spirits, they won't be able to enter this gap without paying a price.
Even after entering this crevice, you will still be attacked indiscriminately!
In fact, he had just prepared to clash with a sixth-tier opponent.
Since we can't avoid it, we have no choice but to fight!
However, once inside this downward shaft, "Lord Bai's" attacks ceased.
There was no pursuit or supernatural attack.
It seems this is truly a place beyond its influence?
"No, there are other possibilities."
Jiang Qiao fell into thought, one idea after another flashing through his mind.
Normally, as the protectors of the city, the spirits may not be able to cover everything, but once they discover an intruder, there is absolutely no situation where they cannot catch the intruder.
Unless the opponent is much stronger than the sacrificial spirit.
Therefore, Jiang Qiao believes there are still two possibilities.
One possibility is that they entered this underground world with Bai Daren's tacit approval. Perhaps the dangers below made it decide that there was no longer any need to pursue them.
Besides.
Jiang Qiao was more inclined to believe another possibility.
That is, the so-called "Lord Bai" is probably not the real spirit!
Jiang Qiao glanced at the slicked-back hair.
The man looked somewhat frightened, but Jiang Qiao didn't believe that he was hiding anything from Lord Bai.
More likely, this guy is unaware of the secret behind this.
After all, to put it nicely, he's a manager; to put it bluntly, he's nothing more than a dog kept by evil spirits!
Jiang Qiao did not ask any further questions.
He kept his suspicions to himself, but prepared himself mentally for any unexpected incidents.
Time flies.
One hour.
Two hours.
Three hours.
As time went on, the traces of the nuclear explosion around the tunnel faded, and the walls on both sides became smoother.
Eventually, all traces disappeared.
Not only that.
Jiangqiao also passed several horizontal openings, which seemed to lead into the interior of the rock strata.
At times like this, Da Beitou would get very nervous.
Through questioning, Jiang Qiao learned that these holes led to the home of those mutated earthworms.
They usually emerge from inside and gather inside the tunnel.
So densely packed, it's enough to make your scalp tingle!
However, now that the nuclear bomb has caused the death of a large number of insects, the remaining ones have been frightened and fled back.
It's unlikely to reappear in the near future.
...
The fall continues.
After an unknown amount of time, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared below.
It seems we're almost at the bottom.
Jiang Qiao's expression hardened, and he spoke in a low voice to the group descending behind him:
"We're almost at the bottom. We don't know what we'll encounter. Everyone, be prepared for battle."
Li Xin and the others immediately tensed up.
The previous battle, the shock, the injuries, and the several hours of landing had left them extremely exhausted.
But at this point, I had no choice but to force myself to stay alert.
Finally, after a long journey of several hours, Jiangqiao was able to stand firmly on solid ground!
8вОΟК·сом
"It's not easy."
He threw his slicked-back hair on the ground and stretched his body a little.
Immediately, his whole body emitted a crackling, popping sound.
Behind him, the others also left the cave entrance one after another.
Among the group, Xue Lan was in relatively good condition due to her enhanced physique and was able to stand and survey her surroundings.
Li Xin was swaying slightly, but he could barely hold on.
But Liu Qian and Luo Wen couldn't do it.
Being a newcomer, he plopped down on the ground, looking completely exhausted.
"We must have fallen several hundred kilometers, right?"
Li Xin spoke first.
Jiang Qiao did the math, and it really was true!
The descent is mostly free fall; only when the speed reaches a certain point will you step on the uneven parts of the wall to slow down or take a short break.
This lasted for more than five hours.
"Hundreds of kilometers, in the real world that would be deep into the mantle, we would have been killed by the high temperature and pressure long ago."
Xue Lan smiled wryly.
At this moment, there was neither high temperature, nor underground ocean, nor terrifying pressure around them.
Everything was the same as on the ground.
It's really spooky!
A chilly breeze brushed against the river bridge's face, revealing a desolate world before its eyes.
Although it was somewhat dim, it was not completely dark.
Jiang Qiao glanced behind him.
They landed in a cave in a large mountain.
"Perhaps I can return to the surface through this cave."
He thought to himself.
Others definitely couldn't do it; climbing hundreds of kilometers is something that even second- or third-tier awakened beings can't do.
But for him, it shouldn't be a problem.
"I've heard a lot of ghost stories since I was a child, and they all say there's a netherworld underground. I never thought I'd actually run into one today."
Rowan said in shock.
Behind them was a towering mountain.
A short distance ahead is a highway, and further ahead is a grove of trees.
There was a path in the woods, but I didn't know where it led.
Do you know anything about this place?
Jiang Qiao asked the man with the slicked-back hair.
"Oh right, I forgot to ask you what your name is."
The man with the slicked-back hair looked around and shook his head slightly.
"To tell you the truth, I've been to hell once, but not from the Luohan Temple."
"The abbots of these schools have always kept the entrance a secret, making it difficult for outsiders to know its exact location."
"If you hadn't opened this passage, we would have thought the entrance was in the middle hall."
"As for me, my name is Sun Yi."
The central hall?
Is it the Buddhist temple in the square?
"I saw that the hall was brightly lit and filled with smoke. Are the ghosts inside very scary?"
Jiang Qiao continued to inquire.
"Before the strange incident at Luohan Temple, I visited it several times. At that time, apart from the grandeur of the main hall, there was nothing particularly special about it."
"After the incident at the temple, we also sent people into the main hall to investigate. But no matter how many people went in, none of them came out again."
Sun Yi said.
"I once asked Lord Bai about this matter, and he said that what was in that hall was not a vengeful ghost, but rather the burial of the first abbot of Luohan Temple."
At this point, Sun Yi's tone became confused.
"At that time, Lord Bai's tone was apprehensive, and he was unwilling to talk more."
He only said one sentence.
"That monk."
"I want to become a Buddha."

Do you want to become a Buddha?
Jiang Qiao had some doubts.
He inexplicably arrived at this place and inexplicably joined a mission, which he originally thought was just a survival game.
But why is it getting more and more complicated now?
Even the idea ofattaining Buddhahood has come up!
Holy crap!
It's only been three days.
I can't even imagine what kind of moths will appear tomorrow!
"become..."
Jiang Qiao prepared to ask further questions.
Suddenly, a faint sound of laughter came from the woods ahead.
The voice carried a touch of etherealness, a hint of mystery, and a touch of eeriness, making it somewhat unsettling in this dimly lit world.
Sun Yi's expression changed.
"We need to get out of here immediately; any sound here is a sign of terror."
He said in a low voice, sounding somewhat anxious.
"Good."
Jiang Qiao did not object and immediately led everyone away from the area.
As he walked, he kept looking in the direction from which the sound came.
In that dimly lit grove, on that path that led nowhere, a woman dressed in white mourning clothes appeared out of nowhere.
The woman's face was obscured, but her long hair, which hung down to the ground, was very noticeable.
She knelt by the roadside and kept kowtowing towards the woods.
In the dim light, Jiang Qiao could see a vague protrusion there, which looked like a grave.
The female ghost kowtowed and laughed at the same time.
It looks very strange!
"It's better to hear a ghost cry than to hear it laugh."
This sentence suddenly popped into Jiang Qiao's mind.
This is a statement mentioned in that masterpiece that ushered in the era of tomb raiding novels before I transmigrated.
Simply put, a smiling ghost is more dangerous than a crying one.
He always thought that made a lot of sense.
The faces of vengeful ghosts are usually pained, numb, and filled with resentment, with a deathly look on their faces.
Crying is a frequent occurrence.
There is an idiom, "ghosts howling and wolves wailing," which refers to them.
This aligns with popular belief, since vengeful ghosts are always filled with resentment.
However, one day the vengeful ghost transformed from pain to a smile, and from crying to laughter.
That would be terrible!
Something unusual must be going on!
It's just like people.
A person who has suffered greatly and is full of resentment suddenly begins to smile at the world.
He either figured it out, became more open-minded, or let it go.
Or they're planning something bad!
As for vengeful ghosts specifically...
If their resentment were so easily dispelled, they wouldn't be called vengeful ghosts.
So it's clear that the smiling vengeful ghost, like someone who has gone to extremes, has become even more ferocious and dangerous!
Moreover, the ghost in front of us is not only laughing, but it is also dressed in mourning clothes and kowtowing to the grave!
Jiang Qiao sensed an immense danger.
What is buried in a grave that even vengeful ghosts would bow down to?
"Ignore them, let's just leave."
Jiang Qiao withdrew his gaze, quickened his pace, and followed the direction of the highway, moving away from that path.
He kept an eye on what was behind him the whole way.
I'm very lucky.
They seemed to have escaped the attention of the vengeful spirit and left the area unscathed.
The strange laughter gradually faded away.
"Now that you've been to Hell, do you have any suggestions for the rest of the trip?"
Jiang Qiao stopped and looked at Sun Yi.
The man with the slicked-back hair touched his hair, thought for a moment, and said:
"This world is vast and extremely dangerous, so very few people come here. I was here once a long time ago."
"However, although I came in from another entrance, I also saw a highway, and I don't know if it's connected to this one."
"I think we can stay here and wait for that vengeful ghost to leave before going back."
"If you want to continue forward, I suggest following this road; that way you're less likely to get lost."
"If it's too dangerous on the way, we can turn back."
Sun Yi's suggestion was very reasonable, and not only Jiang Qiao, but even Li Xin and others nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's follow the road first."
Jiang Qiao didn't hesitate for long and walked forward first.

He didn't intend to stay at the entrance, because that Lord Bai might also come in.
Staying where you are would be like walking into a trap.
At the same time, his wariness of Sun Yi remained unchanged.
He didn't believe the other party had come to Luohan Temple in the dead of night to suppress a female ghost!
Jiang Qiao suspected that there was something the other party cared about in Luohan Temple, which was why he rushed over after discovering that an awakened person had entered.
But he did not ask.
Asking about this is pointless.
They either don't say anything, or they give you something that's a mix of truth and falsehood, making it easy to fall into their trap.
However, this so-called "hell" has truly opened Jiang Qiao's eyes!
The road in front of us is a six-lane road in both directions, with potholes and cracks everywhere, as if many overweight vehicles are driving on it.
Every so often, the highway branches off into smaller roads.
These paths wind and twist, some leading to villages, while others stretch to the edge of sight, their destination unknown.
besides.
The path itself is also full of supernatural phenomena.
for example.
On some narrow paths, there are always a few motionless people standing under the telephone poles.
On some narrow paths, the streetlights cast several shadows, but there was no one in the area.
Jiang Qiao even saw a soccer ball roll out of the grass, accompanied by the sound of children laughing.
But there was actually nothing in the bushes.
"This place is almost like the supernatural world, the only difference is that the lighting is much dimmer."
Li Xin approached the river bridge and whispered.
"No, this place is more eerie and dangerous than the supernatural world."
Jiang Qiao said seriously.
Not far away, wisps of smoke rose from a village, indicating that the villagers were cooking.
However, under the gray field of vision, the entire village does not exist.
There is only one endless path.
"This is the third one."
Jiang Qiao silently calculated.
Along the way, he has already encountered three things that seem to be strange tales of rules.
Fortunately, the other party did not make any unusual moves.
Otherwise, even he couldn't guarantee he would be able to return to Earth alive.
"This highway is somewhat like the trunk of a large tree, and the paths are the branches that grow out. The eerie things on the paths are like the leaves. Who knows if there will be fruit at the end?"
Jiang Qiao believes that this highway is not as simple as it seems.
If Sun Yi wasn't lying, he really did come from somewhere else to "hell" and saw a similar highway.
Therefore, this highway most likely connects certain regions of this world.
...
Time passed second by second.
We traveled and stopped along the way, and most of the day passed just like that.
Jiang Qiao estimated that it was already the evening of the third day of the mission.
They were lucky; although they encountered many dangerous things along the way, they were not attacked by supernatural forces.
"The vengeful female ghost did not appear either."
Jiang Qiao said to Li Xin.
"This is good news."
Li Xin said.
"No, this is not good news, because we are in more danger than if we had encountered the Cursed Woman Ghost."
Jiang Qiao smiled.
He saw the road ahead split into left and right lanes for the first time!
Which way should we go?
Jiang Qiao stood hesitantly at the intersection.
"Old Sun, what do you think?"
In situations like these, a native like Big Back Hair might be a great guide.
From the previous standoff at the temple, it's clear that Old Man Sun is actually quite afraid of dying.
Therefore, Jiang Qiao believed that even if he harbored malicious intentions, as long as they were not truly safe, what this guy said still had some reference value.
Sun Yi looked around, seemingly somewhat bewildered.
"I don't know either."
He said somewhat sullenly, "Although I have been to Hell before, I have only stayed near the entrance and have never gone this far."
"but..."
He paused, as if recalling some important information.
a long time.
He suddenly pointed to the left.
"I think we should go this way!"
Almost at the same moment, Xue Lan, who was standing next to Li Xin, suddenly spoke up:
"We can go to the left!"
