Everyone looked at the tall palace wall with vigilance, but no suspicious person was found for a long time.
At this time, Ding Xueru looked at the man in black robe, weighed it and said, "Sir, maybe that man has escaped. Why don't we arrange camping first? No matter what kind of monster it is, we must rest first."
The man in the robe nodded, but his tone was still solemn, and he said: "Send a few more people to take turns to stand guard. We must be more careful tonight!"
What the gentleman said is that I will make arrangements immediately." Ding Xueru nodded, then called Han Li over and made some arrangements.
Hours later, the tent was set up under the palace wall of Hades City.
Surrounded by the thick city wall in a semicircle, several bonfires were placed in a circle outside the tent. They burned very brightly and dispersed the darkness around them. The lights were bright, making everyone feel much safer and more at ease.
After a warm meal, those who had no duty to stand guard went into the tent to rest.
After working hard for many days, everyone was exhausted physically and mentally, so as soon as their heads hit the pillow, they fell asleep quickly. Camp
The ground became quiet, except for the crackling sound of the bonfire burning.
After being cautious at first, the people on guard gradually became more relaxed because nothing happened.
But at this moment, a ghostly black shadow ran down from the tens of meters high city wall.
Its posture is very strange. It runs along the vertical palace wall, but it feels like walking on flat ground, as if there is suction on the soles of its feet.
While running, it was silent, and with the cover of darkness, no one noticed after landing.
This ghost has a pair of penetrating red eyes that emit red light in the blink of an eye, but it only opens them occasionally.
I saw it sneaking up to a person standing guard, biting the man's neck without any effort, and then biting him to death silently.
Then, the ghost dragged the man, quickly ran up the palace wall, and then disappeared.
It took more than ten minutes for someone to notice the situation and quickly reported the situation to Han Li. Han
Li did not alert anyone else for the time being, but went to investigate the scene by himself.
But at this time, Heipao Ren and Lin Shan heard the noise and came out of the tent.
"Captain Han, what happened?" Lin Shan walked to the place where the accident happened and asked.
Han Li said with a gloomy face: "One of my brothers suddenly disappeared."
Missing? Is it convenient to go around?" Lin Shan asked.
Han Li shook his head and said: "No, I have told them before that no matter what they do, they must go together with at least two people. They will not disobey me."
Lin Shan pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Then did you find anything else? Did the other people on guard hear anything?"
Han Li shook his head. At this time, the man in black robe who walked to the palace wall to investigate suddenly shouted: "There is something discovered here!"
Lin Shan and Han Li quickly walked to the black-robed man and saw a strange blood mark clearly left on the stone wall under the illumination of the flashlight. Lin
Shan touched the blood mark with his hand, and then said: "The blood is fresh, and it must have been left just now. It's just that this mark, I don't know what was left behind."
"Sir, could it be the figure you saw before?" Han Li looked at the man in black robe with an even uglier look on his face and asked.
The man in the robe stared at the blood mark, pondered for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "What I saw before seemed to be a human figure, but this blood mark does not seem to be left by a person."
Speaking of this, Ding Xueru happened to walk over. The man in black robe turned and asked: "Professor Ding, you are experienced and have seen many weird and weird things. Do you recognize this blood mark?" Ding
Xueru held the flashlight and shined it on the palm-sized bloody mark. After a long time, he said, "In my memory, I have never seen such a mark. Ruoxi, come here and take a look."
When Du Ruoxi heard the teacher's call, she quickly came over from behind. But
But when she saw the blood marks on the palace wall, she immediately showed a look of horror.
Lin Shan was surprised and couldn't help but ask: "Miss Ruoxi, do you know this blood seal?"
Du Ruoxi nodded, and then said to Ding Xueru: "Teacher, please wait for me."
After saying that, Du Ruoxi ran towards her tent.
Lin Shan couldn't help but be a little surprised and asked: "Miss Ruoxi, what is this..." Ding
Xueru said: "Ruoxi likes to study ancient books the most, especially some miscellaneous notes on unofficial history. She must have gone back to look for information." Lin
Shan nodded after hearing this, while the man in black robe looked up and stared at the dark palace wall, wondering what he was thinking.
A few minutes later, Du Ruoxi ran back quickly holding an ancient book, then handed the ancient book to Ding Xueru and said, "Teacher, if I read correctly, this mark should be the footprints of a ghost."
"Ghost?" Lin Shan was a little surprised, wondering what this ghost was.
The man in black robe was also attracted by this word, walked over to Ding Xueru, and began to read the ancient book.
After a moment, Ding Xueru nodded and said, "Ruoxi is right, this blood mark is very much like that left by a ghost."
"Professor Ding, what is this ghost?" Lin Shan asked curiously. Ding
Xueru looked at Du Ruoxi, who then explained: "The ghost is a legendary ghost that only exists in extremely yin places where yin is strong. But later, some people wanted to increase the safety of the tomb.
, thus man-made monsters such as ghosts are extremely lethal. Judging from the records, ghosts belong to the category of zombies, but in terms of attack power and reaction ability, they are several times or even dozens of times stronger than zombies!
"
After hearing this, Lin Shan couldn't help but take a breath and said, "Then how did this ghost be created? Is there anything we can do to deal with it?"
"According to some unofficial historical records, ghosts are girls who choose to be born in a yin year with a yin month and a yin hour. They are fed a variety of yin medicines since childhood and are raised in extremely yin places. As they continue to grow, they are exposed to drugs and yin
Under the influence of the qi, the ghost turns into something neither human nor ghost, and until the owner of the tomb dies, he is buried with him in the tomb and will remain immortal for thousands of years!" said
At this point, Du Ruoxi shook her head and said in disbelief: "But these are just some legends. I never believe it is true!"
"Can you be sure it's a ghost just by looking at a mark?" the man in black robe questioned.
Du Ruoxi said: "Ancient books record some of the characteristics of the ghost: flying over eaves and walls, walking like the wind, extremely powerful, bloodthirsty and cruel. In addition, its footprints are also very special, as big as the palm of your hand and shaped like a plum blossom. This blood seal is similar to what is recorded in the record.
They are exactly the same, and the blood mark was left on the vertical palace wall. It must have flown up the palace wall, and it is very similar to the flying eaves and walls in the records."
