This time there was not just one corpse, but several.
The corpses were both male and female, and they were all wearing modern clothes. However, these corpses seemed to have died much earlier than the first corpse. In addition to edema all over the body, there were already signs of decay visible to the naked eye.
Bodies that were as swollen as a kayak floated past Li Leping and the others. From such a close distance, the three of them could clearly see the dead state of these bodies.
The horror before death still remained on the soaked face, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. A pair of gray eyes seemed to be floating on the way, staring at Li Leping as if nothing existed.
"Not quite right."
Suddenly.
The originally calm water suddenly began to bubble and flow.
Suddenly there was a hint of coldness in the cold water.
As the well water flowed, some more miserable corpses floated over from the surrounding darkness, drifting here as if carrying some kind of mission.
There was also a faint fishy smell in the air, which became stronger as the number of corpses increased.
"An abnormality has occurred. Are ghosts targeting us?"
Li Leping glanced at the corpse floating in front of him, but was not afraid of the sign of the evil ghost's arrival.
But right now.
Jiang Hao seemed to have noticed something, and his eyes were always fixed on one place.
Many corpses floated on the increasingly cold water.
The vision is getting more serious.
And among this pile of corpses that there was no time to confirm the specific number, there was an extremely abnormal corpse floating towards this side.
The corpse was face down and submerged in water, making it difficult to see his face. The only way to identify it was a male corpse through his body shape.
However, what is surprising is that this corpse, which was dressed in old clothes, probably from the end of the last century, did not rot in the water, and there was not even a trace of swelling.
"Grrrrrr!"
Not only this corpse, Li Leping soon saw several corpses in similar conditions. The clothes on these corpses were obviously not modern, and their skin seemed to have been soaked in well water and turned white. It seemed that these corpses had been killed a long time ago.
He had fallen into the well and drowned.
However, the strange thing is that these corpses that should have been swollen and rotting long ago are better preserved than those corpses that have been dead for a long time, as if they had just died.
"There's something not right about these bodies."
Jiang Hao looked at these corpses whose bodies were too normal to be normal, and his tone was solemn.
How could a corpse remain intact while soaking in water, with no signs of swelling at all?
Li Leping didn't reply, but kept sensing the situation around him.
One after another, corpses that had sunk under the water or had been hidden in the darkness floated over one after another. These corpses seemed to be pushed by some invisible force. As the number of floating corpses increased, the entire water surface seemed to be flooded.
The bodies were filled.
Among these corpses, most of them seemed to be ordinary people who died here. The corpses were swollen and rotten. Judging from the number, many people should have drowned in the well water.
However, Li Leping now has no time to care about how many lives were swallowed up by the ghost well incident. He only cares about the very abnormal corpses among these corpses.
Not to mention the water involving supernatural beings, if the corpse is soaked in ordinary water for a while, it will definitely become rotten and swollen, making people unable to eat after seeing it.
Therefore, these corpses that have been soaked in water for who knows how long but do not rot or decay, as if they are not affected by the well water at all, must be ghosts.
"Captain Li, do you want to take action?"
Jiang Hao paid attention to the abnormal floating corpses, but with a solemn expression, he did not act recklessly.
After all, the ghosts have not attacked them so far, and no one knows whether attacking the ghosts first will bring about more terrifying changes.
"no need."
Li Leping just finished speaking.
"thump!"
next moment.
Something fell from the wellhead and fell into the water, making a sound.
It was a burning wooden barrel, and the fire that lit up when the barrel was burning was not the usual red color, but a strange black color.
The barrel, which was lit with black fire and fell into the water, quickly floated up.
However, as the barrel floated, the black flame also spread.
The water was actually burning.
Because this fire is based on corpse oil, water cannot extinguish the flames, but will intensify the spread of the fire.
Immediately.
The darkness at the bottom of the well was illuminated by a more terrifying black light, and the water surface was ignited at this time. Black flames burned in all directions, and the raging fire became more and more intense.
At first, the well water was still rolling violently, as if it wanted to use the waves to extinguish the ignited fire in one go. Unexpectedly, such rolling completely scattered the burning zone, and the burning oil fire was like a burst of fire.
Like sparks, they splashed everywhere and quickly ignited new places.
The more you try to extinguish the flame, the more places it will be ignited.
It was under such fire that the corpses floating on the water were caught in the flames and burned quickly.
Most of the corpses were burned black by the flames and turned into charred corpses, emitting an unpleasant smell.
"Ah~!"
However, some shrill screams also came from the fire.
These sounds came from those incorruptible floating corpses.
The corpse that seemed to have been dead for a long time seemed to have been deceived by the fire. At this moment, the body began to twitch violently, and the violent movements seemed to be struggling, splashing water, trying to shake off the flames burning on the body.
.
However, how can the ignited black flame be extinguished at will? The supernaturally formed flame will only keep burning here, like gangrene attached to the bone. Once it is stained, it can no longer be shaken off.
During this burning, Li Leping even saw an extremely weird scene.
A corpse, or a ghost, opened its mouth wide after the body was set on fire, as if it wanted to scream.
However, before it could make a sound, the flames burning on it seemed to have spirituality and immediately poured into its open mouth, igniting the inside of the ghost's body.
Soon, the screams from the corpse disappeared, the twitching of the body stopped, and there was no movement anymore. It seemed to be completely silent. Like other corpses, it was burned black in the burning fire.
In less than ten seconds, the approaching corpses, whether human or ghost, had fallen into silence under the burning fire.
The fire that burned the temple seemed to be engulfing this place as well.
In this sea of burning fire, the only place that was not eroded by the flames was Li Leping.
Ghost smoke enveloped them, dividing the fire.
"Captain Li, this flame is becoming...a little unreal?"
Suddenly.
Jiang Hao, who was in the thick smoke, noticed that the fire burning on the water seemed to have changed strangely.
The black flame seemed to be becoming somewhat transparent.
"No, it's not that the flames have become illusory, it's that the well water is gradually being suppressed, and the supernatural power of the well water has been interfered with, and it can no longer trap us."
Suddenly.
As soon as I finished speaking.
Li Leping noticed that the surrounding scene suddenly changed.
They were still in a body of water, and looking up, they seemed to be in a well.
But at this time, the burning fire had disappeared, and all the surrounding supernatural powers had also disappeared.
The surroundings instantly became pitch black, and in the environment where he couldn't see his fingers, the ghost controller unconsciously swam to the side, but he hit something hard.
"what?"
The ghost controller trembled, obviously frightened, but still reached out and touched it out of instinct.
This thing is very hard, like some kind of stone wall, and moss has grown on the surface. You can clearly feel the ridges and softness of the moss with your fingers.
"What, what's going on?"
Jiang Hao also touched the wall next to him at this time. The sudden change in the environment made him confused, but he felt that the situation seemed to be developing in a good direction.
Only Li Leping, who is not restricted by darkness, can see clearly what is happening in the darkness.
He looked up at this moment, only to find that he was still like a frog at the bottom of a well, seeing the wellhead above at a glance.
It seems that he is still in the well, but this well is different from the ancient well in the ghost temple. There is no windlass installed on the well.
"Have we come to another well? Have we escaped from the supernatural space of the ghost well and returned to reality?"
Looking at the wellhead above his head, Li Leping, who had some guesses in his mind, immediately left here with Jiang Hao and the ghost controller.
The ghost smoke enveloped them and brought them outside the well in the next second.
This place seems to be an inaccessible mountain forest, surrounded by dense woods and overgrown weeds. There are no temples or flower fields, and there is no unsettling bamboo forest.
"Sure enough, now we have left the ghost temple. The flames burned away the water in the well and suppressed the supernatural power of the well water. As a result, we were able to escape from the supernatural space and arrive at the location in reality corresponding to the supernatural place."
Looking at this slightly gloomy forest, Li Leping felt a little relieved.
"Did you survive?"
As if Jiang Hao had survived a disaster, his tense body finally relaxed at this moment.
Many people died in this mission, and among the more than 20 people, only three of them died in the end.
The various dangers that had happened before made Jiang Hao feel that the current peace was a little unreal, or that he was not used to such a normal environment, because it had been too long since he had enjoyed the feeling of not being targeted by evil spirits.
However, before he had time to adapt to this stable environment, a new discovery quickly dissipated the uneasiness he had just let go.
Because at this time they saw a small wooden house not far away.
The wooden house is quiet and seems to be perfectly integrated with the surrounding environment, blending into the darkness of the woods, like a part of the mountain forest.
