Just when Ximen Hao and Xi Xi were wondering what the statue was about, suddenly some green light spots appeared from the surroundings, like will-o'-the-wisps, flying out from some skeletons and flying over.
"Holy crap! Is it really haunted?"
The Tianji Umbrella in Ximen Hao's hand lit up for a burst of red light, but there were too many will-o'-the-wisps. Where could they hit him? He had to make a defensive posture.
However, those will-o'-the-wisps did not attack, but quickly gathered together, and soon formed a person with green light, well, it was a human shape anyway.
Ximen Hao and Xi Xi stood on the altar, looking at the green will-o'-the-wisp man, both looking extremely nervous.
After the will-o'-the-wisp man absorbed all the will-o'-the-wisps, his eyes suddenly shot out two green lights, and then a green light curtain appeared in front of their eyes.
And on the light screen, an image appeared, which was an image of a group of humans wearing black robes kneeling in front of the altar.
Their black robes look exactly the same at first glance. Both men and women, as well as adults and children, wear these robes.
Ximen Hao and Xi Xi were stunned at the same time. This will-o'-the-wisp man was actually showing a movie, or rather showing images of these skeletons before they died.
I saw those people kneeling under the altar, their bodies motionless, but you could see that they were trembling slightly, but they were restrained by some force and could not move.
Then the scene turned, and the statue of the Bull Demon Great Spirit on the altar suddenly lit up with a burst of black light, and then the rays of light hit those people.
The people kneeling on the ground were shaking even more violently. Although they lowered their heads, looking at Ximen Hao and Xi Xi, they could still see their painful expressions.
But soon, these people stopped trembling, because his body was rapidly drying up, and only the skeleton was left.
At this time, the great bull demon spirit had a strong black light. Although there was no sound, you could feel the statue roaring.
After a while, a thick black light suddenly appeared from the statue, penetrated directly to the top, and disappeared.
And these skeletons were kneeling quietly on the ground, and they didn't know how many years they had gone through...
The video finally stopped, and the will-o'-the-wisp retracted its light curtain, and then spread out in an instant, forming three large green characters in the air: Help us.
"Um?"
Ximen Hao and Xi Xi were stunned at the same time, but they also knew that the statue was dangerous and hurriedly jumped off the altar.
But those will-o'-the-wisps did not stop. After gathering three words, they formed three more words: Destroy the statue.
Finally, two bigger words gathered together: Please.
"Xixi, did these will-o'-the-wisps ask me to help them destroy the statue?"
Ximen Hao asked blankly.
"It seems...right."
Xixi is not sure either.
"Why?"
Ximen Hao suddenly asked the will-o'-the-wisps.
Those will-o'-the-wisps once again formed two words: liberation.
"Relief? Could it be that you were forcibly sucked out of life by this great bull demon spirit?"
Ximen Hao has already seen some of this through the video.
The will-o'-the-wisps quickly formed the word 'yes'.
"Well...why should I help you? I don't know you?"
Ximen Hao is very courageous! He has begun to lose his fear. It’s just some will-o’-the-wisps anyway.
Those will-o'-the-wisps stood still in the air for a moment, and then suddenly flew away into the distance.
"Xixi, do you want to follow me?"
Ximen Hao said.
"Wait here, they will come back. Xiao Ritian, we are so lucky. These people were forcibly sacrificed, and then the remaining souls were suppressed by the statues and could not be freed. Well, this should be the reason, they estimate
I went to get your reward."
Xixi's explanation made Ximen Hao's eyes light up. If that were really the case, his luck would really be incredible!
Sure enough, after a while, the group of will-o'-the-wisps formed a human shape and floated back, then threw a dark branch at Ximen Hao's feet.
The branch looks like a piece of charcoal, but it is very thin, only as thick as a finger and half a foot long.
"What the hell is this?"
Ximen Hao did not go over to pick up branches, and he was not a rag picker.
"Soul-nurturing wood."
Xixi suddenly said something.
And those will-o'-the-wisps also confirmed what Xi Xi said, because they also formed three words: soul-nurturing wood.
"Soul-nurturing wood? Never heard of it!"
Ximen Hao searched his memory. He was well-read, but he had never listened to a book.
"Soul-nurturing wood is a very rare special wood. It is rare in the Holy Land. It can hold a ray of remnant soul and prevent it from collapsing. Xiao Ritian, you will know after picking it up and taking a look."
Xixi patted Ximen Hao's head gently.
Ximen Hao glanced at the will-o'-the-wisp man again, then walked over cautiously, scanned it with his soul, found nothing strange, and picked it up carefully.
The black wood is gentle to the touch and gives people a strange feeling.
"Hello young man."
An old voice suddenly sounded in Ximen Hao's mind.
"Holy shit! Who? Get out!"
Ximen Hao was so shocked that he almost threw the soul-nurturing tree away.
"Are you the remnant soul in the soul-nurturing tree?"
Xixi suddenly disappeared and appeared in Ximen Hao's consciousness.
"Well, old man: Yuan Zeng, the patriarch of a small family."
The voice actually communicated directly with Xixi.
"Yuan Zeng? A small family, which small family?"
Ximen Hao's voice also sounded in his consciousness.
"Alas! After so many years, what are you doing? Young man, please help my tribe, break the statue and free them. They have been suppressed here for many years."
Yuan Zeng's voice was full of pleading.
"Oh? Then why weren't you suppressed? Are you still hiding in this soul-nurturing tree?"
Ximen Haocai is not that easy to fool.
"Alas! Only a ray of remnant soul of the old man escaped. Fortunately, there is a soul-nurturing tree, otherwise it would have collapsed long ago. The old man just wants to free the clansmen. Young man, can you help us?"
"Why should I help you? What are the benefits?"
Ximen Hao is a guy who can't afford to be early without profit.
"You should be from the lower world like the juniors who came before, right?"
"What? Have you seen the people who came in before?"
Ximen Hao and Xi Xi said in unison.
"Yes, actually, you are the thirty-fifth one to come here."
Yuan Zeng continued.
"The thirty-fifth one? What about the others? Why didn't they break the statue?"
Ximen Hao felt that things were not that simple.
"Alas... they are all dead."
Yuan Zeng sighed.
"Hmph! Was he killed by the statue?"
Xixi suddenly snorted coldly, and her face fell.
"Yes, this demon's statue still has some power, but they were all killed by the shock. Alas! This place is sealed and no stronger ones can come in, otherwise we would have been freed long ago."
Yuan Zeng actually didn't hide anything, and he seemed to be an honest person. Another two people would never say this, and no one would die!
Of course, if there are enough benefits to attract people, some people will still take the risk. (To be continued)
