In the dark world, this palm came silently, without any warning.
But when Li Leping saw this very familiar palm, his face showed surprise.
The hand that reached out from the side gently patted the will-o'-the-wisp lantern Li Leping was holding.
"Pfft——!"
But with just this gentle tap, the supernatural power of the will-o'-the-wisp lantern seemed to be blown away, and the already extremely weak flame suddenly went out.
In an instant, darkness enveloped me.
"Ghost smoke!"
The moment the fire disappeared, Li Leping, in shock, swung the third stick desperately and hit the arm in front of him.
at the same time.
At the moment when the darkness belonging to the bamboo forest eroded over, a black smoke floated around him.
The ghostly realm of ghost smoke enveloped him instantly.
Although they are both dark, the black color of the smoke seems a little out of place compared to the pure darkness, as if it is blocking the eroding darkness outside the area where the smoke is floating.
It was precisely under the protection of this ghost realm that did not belong to the bamboo forest that Li Leping did not get lost in the bamboo forest for an instant.
However, the first time he released the ghost smoke ghost realm, Li Leping felt a terrible oppression. This sense of oppression came from all directions, making him feel breathless and heavy, as if there was something terrifying.
The supernatural power of Gui Yan is suppressing the release of Gui Yan, trying to seal Gui Yan and Li Leping inside here.
"enough."
The suppressed feeling of Ghost Smoke came into his mind, but Li Leping smiled strangely at this moment, feeling as if he had escaped from death.
The moment the ghost smoke was released, it could only barely cover an area of about three meters around him.
Three meters.
It was enough for him to reach the door of the temple.
"boom!"
With the sound of the door being pushed open, Li Leping successfully returned to the temple.
"Team Li?!"
As soon as he entered the door, before he could see clearly what was going on inside the temple, he heard a familiar and surprising title.
Jiang Hao seems to have been pacing back and forth near the back door, as if he has been waiting for news about Li Leping and has been waiting here for his return.
The ghost master who is still alive is also squatting by the wall next to the back door, not daring to move around.
However, Li Leping, who broke through the door and returned to the temple, had no intention of telling Jiang Hao what happened during this period. Instead, he turned around immediately, closed the door again, and even opened the door.
A golden swing stick was inserted across the back to serve as a door latch.
"Shh."
Li Leping, who did not leave the door but instead pressed a door with his body, made a silencing gesture to Jiang Hao, indicating that he should not make any sound. Things on the other side were not really over yet.
Jiang Hao was not stupid either. His eyelids jumped when he saw this. At this moment, he came to another door and blocked the door with Li Leping.
The ghost controller who was huddled in the corner also realized something was wrong when he saw this. He was able to survive today not only because of luck, but also because he had enough eyesight.
Immediately, he did not dare to make any unnecessary movements and could only continue to squat on the spot, covering his mouth with both hands, not daring to make a sound, for fear that it would attract something terrible to break in the door.
In fact, if a ghost really wants to break through this wooden door at this time, anyone will feel that these two dilapidated wooden doors alone cannot stop the evil ghost outside.
However, Li Leping knew very well that these two wooden doors, which looked shabby and might fall off if kicked, would not be as simple as imagined.
Because this place is a temple built by supernatural beings. Let alone the main hall, just the plants, trees, flowers and bamboos that exist in this place, how can any of them be simple?
Moreover, they can't think of any other means of confrontation for the time being, so they can only act on the spot and wait and see how the current situation develops.
"Bang bang bang!"
Suddenly, there was a very urgent knock on the door, and the door shook a few times, as if it was about to be smashed down at any time.
The two people who were pressing against the door also felt the force coming from outside the door at this moment. When Jiang Hao's expression changed, there was an urgent look in his eyes. He looked towards Li Leping, and there was something in his eyes.
It's asking: "What?"
In response, Li Leping just shook his head and signaled to wait and see.
Because he always felt that the force of knocking on the door was not a sign that a ghost was about to break down the door and break in.
Ghosts are very powerful. If they really want to break in, even if there are one or two people blocking the door, even a dozen more people will not be able to block it.
But now, the ghost just knocked on the door a few times, but there was no new movement.
Therefore, rather than saying that the ghost is trying to break into the door, it is better to say that it is knocking on the door to test whether there is a living person behind the door who will respond.
Li Leping and Jiang Hao are not stupid, and they will definitely not respond at this time.
The same was true for the shivering Ghost Controller who was huddled in the corner, and the force of his mouth tightened became a little stronger.
Suddenly.
It seems to be because there has been no response.
At this moment, a dead gray eye appeared outside the crack of the door, and its eyes moved a few times strangely, as if it wanted to peek into the situation behind the door.
But within a few seconds, the eye suddenly closed as if it had seen something it shouldn't have seen, and then quickly moved away from the door and escaped into the darkness.
Some time passed.
There was no new movement outside the gate.
It was as if the supernatural being outside the door fell into silence again.
"Is it safe?"
Jiang Hao did not dare to relax, and still had a tense face. He leaned behind the door with his ear against the door panel, trying to listen to what was going on outside. He raised his head slightly and looked at Li Leping with a questioning look in his eyes.
But just when he looked at Li Leping.
"Cough, cough cough..."
Li Leping's expression suddenly paused, and then an unpleasant feeling came over him. Then he coughed continuously as if he suddenly fell ill.
He subconsciously reached out to cover his mouth and pressed his chest, trying to stop the coughing feeling, but found that the coughing was getting stronger and stronger, and he couldn't stop it at all.
"Huh? Captain Li, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing this, Jiang Hao immediately asked in a low voice.
Because everyone knows that although the body of a ghost controller can survive for a few days under the influence of supernatural erosion, it is impossible for him to get sick because of this, unless the ghost he controls is himself a sick ghost.
However, Li Leping has obviously never controlled similar supernatural beings.
Then why did he suddenly cough?
Moreover, the cough was so violent and sudden, as if he had turned into a terminally ill patient in the blink of an eye.
Without answering, Li Leping released his hand covering his mouth and spread it in front of him.
What was stained on the palms of my hands was neither spit nor blood, but paints of various weird colors. It smelled like paint and gave off a pungent smell.
