Gu Li looked at the ghost candle that was handed over. The green flame was burning brightly, illuminating a three-meter area nearby. The flame seemed to be expanding, and some unknown energy exploded in the violent burning.
This will drive away the surrounding evil spirits and keep them away from them.
However, even if the surrounding ghosts have not officially launched an attack, the candle is still burning at an alarming rate.
According to this burning speed, this candle will burn out in three minutes at most.
"Yes, take it." Li Leping repeated with a solemn expression.
Gu Li took the ghost candle and asked worriedly: "What are you going to do?"
He knew that it was impossible for Li Leping to hand over Guizhu to him for no reason.
This is just like some people will try their best to drive by themselves. Only in this way can they firmly hold the steering wheel.
Because I don’t dare to leave things that matter to my life in other people’s hands.
But now that Li Leping chose to let him hold the Ghost Candle, it meant that Li Leping had more important things to do.
"If we only rely on ghost candles, we will definitely not be able to get out. There are too many ghosts. Even if they have not attacked us yet, the ghost candles will spend a huge amount of energy to drive them away."
Glancing at the burning candle in Gu Li's hand, Li Leping continued: "According to this burning speed, when the ghost attacks us, the candle will definitely not be able to hold on for even half a minute. You have to know that we have five people here.
The risk of being targeted by an individual is too great, let alone the situation where several people are targeted by a ghost at the same time, which will lead to a surge in the consumption of ghost candles."
"This is not enough time for us to retreat to Wei Jing's house, let alone hold on until the door opens for the first time."
Gu Li said at this time: "In that case, we might as well stick to the house behind us, so that the number of ghosts we have to face at the same time should not be too exaggerated."
"No." Li Leping rejected his suggestion.
"Don't talk about me, the purpose of your operation is to bring Wei Jing back. His importance is self-evident. If there is a possibility of rescuing him, then we must try our best. Besides, the house behind us may
It is no longer supernatural and will be affected by ghost paintings at any time. If there is a change in this house and the structure is modified so that we can't find the door, it will mean that we are here to increase consumption, and there will be more.
Missed the first opening.”
Liu San looked at Li Leping with a stern face, as if he had guessed something: "So you are going to fight?"
Li Leping's eyes moved slightly, and he said a very cruel, but most effective plan: "Take the initiative, you take the ghost candle and follow me, and I will clear the way for you in front."
Hearing this, the other four people were all startled.
They understood Li Leping's plan.
If the external environment prevents the ghost candle from burning for too long, then as long as the external influence is weakened as much as possible, the ghost candle needs to resist less supernatural beings and the burning time will naturally increase.
But the problem is that the so-called "opening the way" means that Li Leping has to leave the protection of Gui Zhu, break into this gray-white world alone, and repel the approaching evil ghosts.
This meant that he had to fight alone against the evil ghost in front of him, or even all the evil ghosts on the way to retreat.
Resist the attack of the ghosts and counterattack the ghosts at the same time to extend the burning time of the ghost candle.
This plan is almost impossible to succeed.
"This method is too crazy, I don't agree." Gu Li was the first to object.
He believed in Li Leping's strength, but Li Leping was a human being after all, and he had his limits.
If Li Leping were allowed to rush out and fight the ghosts alone like this, wouldn't that mean he was going to die?
"Yes, I suggest you think about it again," Liu Sandao said.
When he said this, Liu San himself felt very unsure, because he observed that although the old man standing not far away and the ghost that appeared in the oil painting had not yet moved or attacked them, those who appeared had not yet moved.
The signs of escape from the evil spirits that have come out are becoming more and more obvious.
In ten seconds at most, the evil ghost in the oil painting will invade Huanggang Village. By then, the danger level of this village will soar to the extreme.
"There is nothing to consider. When it is time to do something, you must be decisive enough and not back down."
Li Leping's voice was not loud, but it revealed an extremely firm tone.
At the same time, he grasped the short black stick behind his back and pulled it out of the container.
"How about we alternate. You stick around outside for a while, and then someone else will replace you outside." Gu Li suggested.
Li Leping shook his head and said, "No, this is a waste of time and will only increase consumption and casualties. I went out to clear the way because if it were me, it would be possible to withstand the attacks from the evil spirits outside, but you can't."
As soon as this was said, the others fell silent again.
Although the words are very direct, the answer is also obvious.
Except for Li Leping, none of the other four people could survive being surrounded by ghosts.
Maybe Liu San can, after all, his survivability is very strong, but his current condition is not good. He has not yet fully controlled the supernatural powers of the old corpse in his body, and the supernatural powers that the paper man can exert are also very limited.
At this time, if he breaks away from Guizhu's protection, he will either be beaten passively, or he will take the initiative to tear the yellow paper on the surface, release the old corpse, and fight the evil ghost running out of the oil painting.
However, if it really comes to that point, based on Liu San's current condition, it is estimated that the time for the old corpse to recover is not far away.
"That's what a team is. Everyone has to take corresponding responsibilities. If you don't realize this, it's impossible to survive in this cruel world." Li Leping seemed to be comforting.
When faced with supernatural events, there are often people who have to show their abilities at critical moments and pay some price in order to carry the team forward.
Lifespan, even life.
And Li Leping also chose the most rational method.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Someone has to go ahead to clear the way and forcefully clean up a relatively clean atmosphere. Only in this case can the ghost candle burn longer. All
Only then can people have a chance to survive.
The person who opens the way cannot be the weakest person in the team. Now the person who ensures the survival of the team is not the cannon fodder, but the strongest person in the team.
He had to withstand the pressure from the surrounding ghosts and take everyone out.
"Okay, time is running out. Get ready. Don't get too close to me. Keep about ten meters away from me."
After saying that, Li Leping turned around and looked at the ghosts that were about to walk out of the oil paintings.
As for the old man blocking the road, he still didn't move. It seemed that no one had triggered his killing pattern yet.
"This old guy, can't he be the new identity of Guizhao..."
Suddenly, Li Leping thought of this.
The evil ghosts who are restricted by the ghost paintings seem to appear in the form of an oil painting.
Just like the picture frames that are constantly falling to the ground, the ghosts in the oil paintings are invading Huanggang Village.
So, is it possible that this old man is the new identity of the ghost, and it has been completely suppressed by the ghost painting and cannot be restarted again, so it will not target everyone?
Of course, it may also be because the number of ghosts controlled by everyone exceeds its suppression quota, so the ghosts will not target the five living people behind them.
"It doesn't matter so much."
Li Leping gritted his teeth and pulled out of his brief thoughts.
He planned to cut through the mess quickly, go out and fight tooth and nail, and fight for a way out for everyone, including himself.
Anyway, it has reached this point. He is alone and cannot evacuate even if he wants to.
"Wait, Li Leping." Gu Li suddenly shouted.
Li Leping, who was holding his short stick tightly, with a solemn face, and was ready to rush out to fight the ghosts, immediately turned his head and said coldly: "What's the matter?"
"Take this, it should be useful." As he said that, Gu Li handed over a sickle.
This is an old sickle. It looks no different from the sickle used in rural areas to harvest crops. However, rust spots have grown on the blade and it looks quite old.
But the handle of this old sickle was wrapped with a layer of gold foil.
This is to prevent accidental contact, so it is specially wrapped with gold foil to isolate people from supernatural objects.
"The scythe?"
Li Leping did not refuse and took the sickle he had held once at the training base.
Last time, he didn't have time to test the power of this sickle.
Unexpectedly, I would have the opportunity to test it so soon.
"Remember, if I fall down and can't get up, don't stop and take care of me. Go around me and move forward. Don't stop."
Li Leping patted Gu Li on the shoulder and gave his final instructions.
The doorknob was still on Gu Li, and Li Leping knew that even if he couldn't bear it anymore, as long as Gu Li and others could escape successfully, his death would be valuable and meaningful.
At this moment, Liu San's expression changed, he looked at the countless oil paintings in the gray world, and said in a low voice: "Here he comes."
Not far away, terrifying figures have stepped out of the oil paintings. Those figures are extremely weird, some are fat, some are thin, some are tall, some are short.
At this moment, the rotten smell in the air seemed to become extremely strong with the appearance of these figures.
Those figures were slowly approaching the crowd, as if they wanted to surround them.
The ghost candle in Gu Li's hand also expanded and burned violently at this moment, as if stimulating its own energy to fight against the supernatural invasion from the outside world.
The burning speed of the ghost candle increased sharply, and there was darkness outside the green candlelight, and countless strange figures kept approaching.
Even though Li Leping and others are already very cautious, they try to avoid making meaningless actions in order to avoid the possibility of being targeted by evil spirits.
However, these evil ghosts coming out of the oil paintings will always keep an eye on them.
This shows that the killing patterns of these ghosts are very easy to be triggered, and once they target them, they will not just target one of them, but several people at once.
This kind of evil ghost is not an exception, and as several people are targeted by a ghost at the same time, the burning speed of the ghost candle will increase exponentially.
"The house is leaking and it rains all night long. We don't have time. Take action." Li Leping shouted in a low voice.
After saying that, he held a sickle in one hand and a short stick in the other, and rushed along the road at his feet towards the world outside the ghost candle light without any hesitation.
