Chapter four hundred and eighty seventh ghost attack
The cave was extremely dark, with towering strange rocks everywhere, and a depressing atmosphere filled the air.
Zhuang Xiaodie and others also began to slow down. At this time, they had calmed down from the initial excitement and became cautious.
Zhan Chen said to Zhuang Xiaodie: Senior Sister Zhuang, let's be careful. I think this cave is a bit weird.
Zhuang Xiaodie looked around and felt that there was a gloomy atmosphere surrounding it, which made people's hair stand on end. However, his eagerness to find Chen Ruping still prevailed overwhelmingly, and he said: No matter what, we must find it.
Junior Sister Chen
Li Junchen looked ahead and said worriedly: "But everyone noticed that I don't think this cave is very deep. Where will Hei Chi and his group hide?"
Anyway, we searched all the way, and I don’t think they went too far into Zhuang Xiaodie’s guess.
So the three of them continued walking deeper into the cave, always paying attention to their surroundings.
However, half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and they could not find any trace of Chen Ruping, not even the shadow of a person.
Zhan Chen felt something was wrong, suddenly thought of something, and said: Senior Sister Zhuang, I always feel like something is wrong.
Zhuang Xiaodie turned around and asked: What do you mean?
It's a bit too quiet here, and Hei Chi's group didn't get far away from us. If we really entered the cave, we should be able to find some clues, but now we haven't even heard a sound. I doubt they really
Did you come in?
Zhuang Xiaodie and Li Junchen both suddenly realized and said in unison: Could it be that
Zhan Chen nodded and said: Yes, I guess they didn't enter the cave at all, but used a trick to escape, just to lure us into the cave and then take the opportunity to escape.
After listening to Zhan Chen's analysis, the two of them had some bad premonition in their hearts. Zhuang Xiaodie still had a trace of obsession and shouted: "But, can't we be sure that they didn't enter this cave?"
Zhan Chen added: Senior sister, this cave seems to be very deep. We still can't see any sign of reaching the end. Didn't you just say that the demon cultivators can't go too deep, but we are all gone now.
After half an hour, there is still no trace of them. Don't you think it's strange?
I think Zhan Chen is right. Hei Chi probably didn't enter the cave at all. If we continued to go deeper, we would have fallen into their trap. Li Junchen also agreed with him.
But Zhuang Xiaodie still had concerns.
Zhan Chen made a compromise suggestion: Otherwise, we should exit the cave first and wait at the entrance. If the group of demon cultivators are in the cave, they will definitely come out. Otherwise, if we blindly go deep, we may encounter something else.
Dangerous.
Li Junchen nodded and said: Senior Sister Zhuang, I think Zhan Chen's method is good.
Zhuang Xiaodie nodded hesitantly. Chen Ruping was kidnapped because of her decision. If Zhan Chen and Li Junchen had any problems again, she, the senior sister, would have no choice but to die to apologize.
The three of them reached a consensus and turned around to walk out of the cave. However, they soon discovered that something was wrong. Half an hour passed, and the eyes of the three of them were still dark. Another quarter of an hour passed, and the three of them still looked at each other.
Instead of an exit appearing, a fork in the road appeared in front of them, leading to three different directions.
Seeing this scene, the three of them all understood that they were lost in the cave.
What's going on? When we came here, wasn't there only one road? Why did a fork in the road suddenly appear? Even the calm Li Junchen started to panic.
Zhuang Xiaodie even blamed herself and murmured: It's all my fault.
Seeing her so lonely, Zhan Chen felt uncomfortable for some reason, and said, "Senior Sister Zhuang, you don't have to blame yourself too much. If you don't save them, the three people who were attacked by the demon cultivators will definitely die."
Zhan Chen, do you have any way to get out? Li Junchen asked.
Zhan Chen looked around and said: From my experience, we are likely to fall into an illusory formation.
Who is the phantom array and why would they set up a phantom array in a place like this? Li Junchen asked in surprise.
Zhan Chen thought for a while and said: I don't know. We don't understand everything here now, and we don't have a better way to solve it. We can only walk around to find out the rules first.
At this time, Zhuang Xiaodie suddenly raised her head and said firmly: Zhan Chenjunchen, don't worry, even if I die, I will definitely take you out.
Zhan Chen and Li Junchen were very moved after hearing this, but they knew very well that just relying on a few oaths could not save them.
Zhan Chen opened the storage ring, took out the broken array that had not been used for a long time, and activated it. Now that he uses the broken array again, the power is naturally different, and it can reveal all the restrictions within a radius of twenty meters.
When Zhuang Xiaodie saw the Po Zhenzi in Zhan Chen's hand, she immediately shouted: This is Po Zhenzi.
Zhan Chen was shocked and said: You know this
Zhuang Xiaodie nodded and said: I have seen one in my father's hand. It is specially used to break the ban. With it, all bans have nowhere to hide.
This is great. With this broken formation, we can break the illusory formation here, and we will be saved. Li Junchen said excitedly.
Zhuang Xiaodie shook his head and replied: I don't know yet, because the person who can set up the ban in such a vast area must be a senior with advanced cultivation. Whether Zhan Chen's broken formation can break it is yet to be determined.
Know.
Anyway, I have to give it a try. Zhan Chen said.
So the three of them walked back to the back road. Along the way, Zhan Chen paid great attention to whether there were any traces of restrictions placed by anyone. They also worked together to mark some of the stone pillars they passed and record the path they had taken.
However, the strange thing is that they did not find any trace of the restriction. What is even more frightening is that after walking for nearly half an hour, they returned to the original fork in the road.
Seeing everything that was happening before them, the three of them were all shocked and confused. Li Junchen asked: Zhan Chen, why are we back again? We were clearly marked and we used bad times. Why can't we find a way out?
This time, Zhan Chen shook his head and said nothing. Indeed, even he had nothing to do.
In fact, it is inevitable for them to encounter the current situation. If the mystery in the Phantom Cave is some artificially arranged restrictions, then it has been cracked long ago and cannot be called a forbidden area in the Danghun Mountain Range.
Just when several people were in a dilemma, Zhuang Xiaodie made a decision and gritted his teeth and said: Since we can't retreat, we will move forward.
Where to go? Li Junchen asked.
Oops, anyway, just pick one and it will be in the middle. Zhuang Xiaodie walked towards the middle road as he spoke, and Zhan Chen and Li Junchen had no choice but to follow.
After that, they encountered several forks in the road, which were all decisions made by Zhuang Xiaodie, so they became more and more confused, and unknowingly gradually went deep into the center of the Magic Cave.
While the three of them were searching aimlessly, something suddenly happened in front of them. They saw a white skeleton leaning on the wall nearby. Seeing this scene, everyone's heart sank and they hurriedly stepped forward.
go.
Although the white bones had been dead for many years, the bones were still as white as jade, which showed that his cultivation level must have been quite high during his lifetime. There was also a low-grade storage ring on his finger. Zhan Chen stretched out his hand and gave the storage ring to
Taken it off.
Zhuang Xiaodie identified it and immediately expressed his judgment: This person's cultivation level should be similar to ours, and he is also a strong person in the Yuanjing Realm.
Li Junchen said: A strong person in the Peeping Yuan Realm is not bad and can remain for tens of thousands of years, but this person has only skeletons left. Could it be that he has been dead for a long time?
Zhuang Xiaodie shook her head and said: I don't think so. Don't you think the yin energy in this cave is extremely heavy?
Zhan Chen and Li Junchen both nodded. Generally, the cold air in caves is extremely strong, but this cave is even more dangerous. The concentration of cold air is hundreds of times that of ordinary caves.
Yin Qi has a corrosive effect, and even an immortal body will quickly decay under the erosion of such a concentration of Yin Qi.
So that was it. Only then did Zhan Chen and Li Junchen find out.
Zhan Chen, take a look at what's in his storage ring. Zhuang Xiaodie said.
Zhan Chen tried to open the storage ring. Perhaps the owner had been dead for a long time, or perhaps it was due to the corrosion of the Yin Qi in the cave, but he did not encounter any obstacles.
The storage ring contains nearly 500 yuan of middle-grade immortal stones, more than 1,000 yuan of low-grade immortal stones, a low-grade immortal sword, and some elixirs to assist in training. However, these are meaningless to him in a difficult situation.
In addition, there were some miscellaneous things. Zhan Chen looked for them and found a silk handkerchief with blood written on it. He quickly took out the silk handkerchief. Zhuang Xiaodie and Li Junchen also came over to take a look.
See above it says:
My name is Chen Huanzhi. I was originally a disciple of the Tengshan Sect. I was chased by my fellow disciples and fled into this magical cave. This is one of the several forbidden areas in the Danghun Mountain Range. It is a natural giant phantom formation. I will try everything.
Unable to find a way to break it, he was attacked by the ghost in the cave and barely escaped. However, his soul was injured and he will die soon.
The handwriting at the back was no longer clear. Perhaps Chen Huanzhi was already on his deathbed at that time, but from the brief message he left, Zhan Chen and the others basically understood their situation and the challenges they would face.
.
Especially the word "haunting soul" written in the blood book made everyone's spines start to feel cold.
The so-called ghosts are a type of undead. However, in addition to being in a place where there is no sunlight, the ghosts also need to be in a place with extremely heavy Yin energy, such as this phantom cave.
After the dead souls are contaminated with Yin energy, they will form Yin ghosts over time. Yin ghosts are more aggressive than ordinary dead souls and can perform spiritual attacks to directly damage people's souls.
What's even more frightening is that they are intangible, and ordinary Taoist weapons and magical attacks cannot cause substantial damage to them.
Just when Zhan Chen and others saw this, a dark wind suddenly blew from the depths of the cave, causing the three of them to raise their heads and take a look. A dozen dark red shadows suddenly appeared in their field of vision, like a bunch of
It was twisted like a flame, and it clearly seemed to be burning, but it contained a chill that made one's soul tremble.
