"But the supernatural signs revealed now are all related to the bamboo forest. This shows that the bamboo forest has the upper hand in the confrontation with the golden powder, and is gradually eating away at the supernatural power of the golden powder, just like treating those buried ghosts, turning them into
One of my own nutrients, that’s why I became as terrifying as I am now.”
Li Leping thought about this matter with some joy.
At least my original goal was achieved.
That is at this time.
Li Leping predicted that he had already run half the distance.
The reason why he said it was a prediction was because he found that the path leading to the temple outside the lantern was completely invisible.
Beyond the light of the fire, it was already occupied by a dense forest of bamboos.
However, relying on the illumination of the lantern in his hand, he seemed to be able to ignore the bamboo in front of him.
Because these bamboos are supernatural beings from the ghost realm and are not things that really exist in reality.
The falsehood in the ghost world will disappear under the light of the lantern, and it cannot trap Li Leping at all.
He won't just get lost here.
However, the current situation is still not good.
The light of the will-o'-the-wisp lantern has now been suppressed to a range of about two meters around.
Beyond the faint blue light, the towering bamboos were still swaying non-stop, invading towards the center of the fire.
"I don't know if I can survive until then."
Li Leping looked at the shrinking range of fire and was secretly frightened.
Suddenly.
While being frightened, he suddenly felt an inexplicable fear.
This strange feeling comes from behind.
It feels like something is following behind you.
immediately.
Li Leping turned his head and looked over.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
Because several figures appeared in his sight.
Because it was dark outside, and the dense bamboos had already invaded behind me, I couldn't see the appearance of these people with the dim light from my side. I could only barely see a few blurry people through the gaps between the bamboos.
humanoid silhouette.
Those vague outlines looked like people with most of their bodies stuck in the mud.
However, these figures stuck in the mud do not seem to be sinking, but there is a faint upward trend.
It was as if they were about to float out of the mud at this moment, and when they floated they didn't even float lying down, but stood stiffly.
It is impossible for a person to appear in such a posture.
"Are they the ghosts buried in the bamboo forest?"
Seeing those figures with half of their bodies exposed, Li Leping immediately had such an idea in his mind.
correct.
If you look carefully, you can vaguely see the firelight illuminating the mud on these figures.
This shows that these things that appear in the field of vision are definitely not sinking into the ground, but were originally sunk in the mud, and now, for some unknown reason, they are floating upright.
"The bamboo forest and the ghost swamp, one originally requires help from others to bury ghosts underground, and the other requires someone to stand on it to sink people into the mud."
"Essentially, these two kinds of supernatural beings are designed to drag people or ghosts into their bodies and make them become a part of themselves."
"The methods of killing are actually somewhat similar, but the rules of killing are different."
"However, once these two supernatural methods of killing are somewhat similar, the rules of killing will definitely change dramatically. Perhaps fundamentally, the instinct to bury people in the body will not change, but the process of burying people in the body may
Will it change from passive to active?"
"For example, changing from passively waiting for someone to bury the ghost in the soil to actively running out and dragging the ghost into the body?"
Looking at the slowly rising figures, Li Leping suddenly came up with a terrible suspicion after a series of observations.
After this bamboo forest is integrated with the supernatural power of Oni Marsh, will it also have the ability to let Oni Marsh help it drag people into the quagmire?
No, it's more than that.
Thinking further, the entire ghost land of the bamboo forest may be equivalent to a swamp, and the person in it may be equivalent to a target falling into the swamp.
Once targeted, the ghosts in this swamp will emerge under the influence of the bamboo forest, attack the living people who stray into it, kill them and then drag them into the mud beneath their feet.
"Have you grown to this extent?"
Li Leping's expression changed. As he was evacuating, the figures behind him were no longer visible as the distance increased, and they fell back into the darkness deep in the bamboo forest.
But soon, he saw several vague figures nearby.
These figures are similar to the previous figures. They are all ghosts whose bodies have sunk into the ground and have not yet completely left. Their bodies are covered with mud and they exude a cold aura mixed with the stench of mud.
It's just different from the figures I saw last time. Most of the ghosts at that time were stuck in the mud, as if they still couldn't escape.
But the figures I see now are different from those before.
At this moment, the figures Li Leping saw had most of their bodies out of the mud, with only two legs still stuck deep in the mud.
It is not difficult to imagine that it will not be long before the evil ghost comes out completely.
"It seems that Bamboo Forest has not mastered the supernatural powers of Ghost Marsh yet. I still have time."
Although Li Leping thought this in his mind, the area covered by the lantern in his hand had unknowingly shrunk to about one meter.
Continue running along the path at your feet.
In the corner of his eye, the figures appearing nearby did not seem to decrease because of his running, but on the contrary, there were more figures than before.
This time, he saw at least five frozen figures.
These strange figures were scattered everywhere, standing coldly on the spot, as if they were peering through the gaps in the bamboo forest, secretly peeping at Li Leping, who was walking alone in the bamboo forest.
"The number of ghosts is increasing, the signs of escaping are also intensifying, and the locations where they appear are also approaching me. From behind me at the beginning to nearby, they may be in front of me soon."
Li Leping's body couldn't break out into a cold sweat, but he felt a bone-chilling feeling of terror in his mind.
He knew very well that this place was getting out of control, and the problems caused by loss of control were very serious.
The bamboo forest that pieced together the ghost marsh puzzle grew far more terrifying than he expected.
Maybe this is also due to the golden powder?
However, Li Leping did not regret this, because fundamentally speaking, he took the initiative to gather the ghost marsh and bamboo forest to fight against the golden powder when he knew that he was unable to continue to fight against the golden powder.
Moreover, even if he really succeeds in the fight and restrains the golden powder alone, and wants to truly imprison a dangerous ghost with the ability to restart, in the end he can only rely on this bamboo forest to restrain the ghost.
And the consequences of doing so will still cause the situation to get out of control.
In fact, as long as he needs to use the bamboo forest to imprison evil ghosts, there will definitely be a day when he loses control.
This is the inevitable result of the supernatural being breaking through the original limitations and no longer being controlled by the supernatural influence of the temple.
