At this moment, Li Leping was running wildly in the bamboo forest. His face was indifferent, but his eyes kept looking towards the vicinity.
He didn't seem to be alone in the bamboo forest now, because every time he ran forward, he could see some strange figures appearing nearby. These figures stood stiffly in place, showing no signs of movement, but their heads seemed to be moving.
It rotates as Li Leping runs, as if silently spying on him.
"These ghosts are starting to focus on me. When the bamboo forest fully controls the ghost swamp, these ghosts will definitely come out of the soil and attack me."
Li Leping knew exactly what these figures standing in the bamboo forest were, and he also knew the danger he faced at this moment.
But just after he ran forward for a while along the path illuminated by the lantern.
A wall came into view.
This seemingly mottled and moldy wall seems not to be affected by the bamboo forest. It stands there like a strong shield, separating the bamboo forest from the things behind the wall, like a dividing line.
The path at your feet stretches past, and seems to eventually lead to this wall.
To be precise, it leads to the front of the two doors standing on the wall.
The old gate stands on the wall. Although it is closed, I don't know if it is because it has not been repaired for a long time, so even if the gate is closed, it cannot be closed tightly. There is still a little gap between the two doors.
gap.
Through the crack in the door, he could already vaguely see the scene of the temple.
"Coming."
Li Leping knew that he was not far from the temple, but he was already traveling as fast as he could. Without being able to use the Ghost Realm to change his position, he could only travel as fast as he could on two legs.
While rushing towards the back door of the temple, he paid attention to the condition of the lantern in his hand.
The blue firelight is still being suppressed, and now it can barely cover a half-meter area around him, and this half-meter area is also temporary for the moment, because the supernatural erosion from the nearby area is still intensifying.
The area covered by the lanterns is also constantly being compressed.
Before long, the fire of the lantern will be completely compressed to the extreme, and even the lantern itself will go out under this suppression.
However, once the firelight was lost in this bamboo forest, Li Leping would instantly fall into this ghostland.
By then, even if he does not die under the heavy attacks of the evil ghosts, he will be trapped in the ghost realm and will never be able to escape.
"Ten meters."
The distance between the gate and himself was shortening, and Li Leping also roughly judged in his mind how far he was from the back door of the temple.
It's already very close. Even for an ordinary person, the distance of ten meters is only a few long strides away.
However, the distance of ten meters is not so easy to walk now.
The normal stride distance of an adult is about 50 to 70 centimeters, but now the range illuminated by the lantern has been reduced to about 20 to 30 centimeters around.
This narrowing of the scope also made Li Leping dare not take too big a step. After all, if he accidentally stretched a foot into the darkness outside the fire at this time, the foot might disappear in an instant.
You must know that the world outside the firelight is already another world, and anything that steps into it will definitely become part of the ghost realm and be subject to terrible supernatural influences.
"Eight meters."
Li Leping looked gloomy as he was unable to use his pace. His pace had been forced to change from running to brisk walking.
The feeling of having his legs tied was certainly uncomfortable, but thanks to the protection of the lantern, he kept getting closer to the door, and the distance was shortened to about eight meters.
"Six meters."
When he was no more than six meters away from the door, the area illuminated by the lantern was reduced to twenty centimeters, which could almost barely cover his body.
"Three meters."
It was only four meters away from the gate, and the place that seemed to be reachable with a single jump seemed so far away in Li Leping's eyes.
The illumination range of the lantern was also reduced to about ten centimeters nearby.
"Can you hold it?"
Li Leping felt a little uneasy.
at the same time.
In the bamboo forest, those strange figures behind the bamboos began to move.
These figures seemed to have finally gotten rid of their restraints at this moment, or it could be said that Zhulin finally fully controlled the ghost marsh at this moment, and could easily command these ghosts like an arm wielder.
A moment.
After these evil ghosts hiding in the darkness and behind the bamboos became active, they immediately discovered Li Leping, who was walking towards the door.
"Tap tap tap..."
Accompanied by the dull footsteps that sounded like corpses, strange figures began to gather towards Li Leping.
Occasionally, you can hear the sound of something rubbing against the bamboo, and the bamboo will shake and make a "rustling" sound.
It is in this horrifying sound,
One after another, lifeless people walked through the bamboo forest and walked toward Li Leping.
These figures are like the bamboos here, so densely packed that at a glance you can't even count how many people are walking towards this side.
Feeling the cold aura that permeated the air, Li Leping felt that his whole body had become colder. This coldness was not only the coldness of his body, but also a coldness that went straight into his mind.
in all directions.
Ghost figures kept appearing.
He didn't know how many ghosts were approaching right now, and he had no intention of counting them in detail at this time.
After all, when the number of evil ghosts reaches a level that is enough to kill him, there is no point in worrying about how many more ghosts there are above this number.
When he saw these approaching figures, he couldn't help but have a complicated thought in his mind.
Because many of the fierce ghosts approaching now were buried in this bamboo forest by his own hands.
As a result, under the influence of the bamboo forest, the evil ghost crawled out of the soil and attacked him.
Is this a different kind of revenge?
Li Leping also didn't know why so many ghosts were able to break the supernatural isolation of the lantern and come towards himself in reality at the moment.
Maybe it's because the supernatural power of the bamboo forest is also affecting these ghosts, so that they will not be affected by the lantern, or maybe it's because the supernatural power of the lantern has reached the limit of failure and can no longer conceal its existence.
"Two meters."
The evil ghost was approaching, and the distance between Li Leping and the gate was getting shorter and shorter.
It seemed that as long as he took one step forward, he could return to the temple.
It's just that the current conditions don't allow him to make such a bold attempt.
He didn't want his body to be divided into two parts if he stepped out.
Half of it is within the range illuminated by the lantern, while the other side is missing.
However.
When Li Leping was only two meters away from the gate.
Suddenly.
A palm that looked golden under the firelight suddenly stretched out from the bamboo beside him.
