Chapter 510: Encountering a Ghost
Fortunately, after walking for about five minutes, Xiao Jin found that the road ahead was a dead end.
Seeing this scene, she had to stop and go forward to check.
After realizing that there was indeed no secret passage, Xiao Jin left without looking back to chase Yun Ye.
This is the advantage of exploring with two people. Even if they encounter a fork in the road, their progress will not be delayed.
Xiao Jin was moving forward at full speed, faster than Yun Ye. But she didn't expect that Yun Ye didn't move forward, but stood alone at a fork in the road.
Seeing Xiao Jin, Yun Ye breathed a sigh of relief: "It just so happens that I don't know which way to go."
"Old rules?"
"Row!"
As they talked, the two of them picked a topic that they liked and went to explore the way.
This time it was Yunye who encountered a dead end.
Afterwards, Xiao Jin and his companion encountered three forks in the road one after another before they finally found the right direction.
“The wall is moving.”
Shortly after they met up, Xiao Jin and Yun Ye both walked towards the final passage, but after only a short while, they encountered another problem.
After Yun Ye whispered this, Xiao Jin tilted his ear and indeed heard a slight "rustling" sound.
Suddenly, she took a half step back, and five dry fingers suddenly stuck out from where she had been standing. The blue-gray nails scratched the tip of her nose, bringing with them a foul smell.
The two looked closely and saw densely packed human-shaped protrusions emerging on the stone wall, as if countless corpses were trying to break through the wall.
"Run!" Xiao Jin shouted.
The two men ran wildly in the narrow corridor. The stone wall behind them squirmed like a living thing, and withered hands kept stabbing out like bamboo shoots after springing up after rain.
Xiao Jin swung the long sword with his backhand, and the sharp sword energy plowed deep grooves on the rock wall. The crisp sound of bones breaking was heard amid the flying gravel.
"You can get out soon."
Xiao Jin looked up and found that the entrance to the cave in front was no longer narrow. There seemed to be a faint light coming from it. They should have found their destination.
But the next second after the two ran out of the corridor, the darkness suddenly became as thick as ink.
Xiao Jin's pupils suddenly contracted - the glimmer in front of her eyes disappeared, and Yun Ye's footsteps could no longer be heard. She felt like she was thrown into a pool of asphalt, and her five senses were completely deprived.
What's going on? Are those ghosts responsible?
Xiao Jin was tense all over, not panicked, just alert.
Don't panic, don't panic~
Xiao Jin warned himself again and again in his heart.
Then she mobilized her whole body's senses, determined not to miss any movement around her.
I don't know how long it took, a minute? An hour? Maybe even longer.
When the cold breath touched the back of her neck, Xiao Jin's knife had already stabbed out in an instant following the sound of the wind. At that moment, she moved very quickly, as if she had been waiting for a long time.
With a "puff", the blade felt like it was stabbing into a rotten watermelon. The rancid liquid splashed on his face, and the darkness dissipated like the receding tide.
Xiao Jin blinked, and her five senses had recovered.
After wiping his face, Xiao Jin saw Yun Ye pulling a weapon out of a headless corpse - the creature was wearing a Taoist robe, but the broken neck was covered with mycelium.
"What is that?" Xiao Jin asked.
"Ghost covering your eyes, a little trick, I've encountered it before." Yunye replied calmly.
"These things are not very strong. As long as we don't lose our composure, we can just wait for them to attack and then kill them."
"Is that so?" Xiao Jin nodded.
indeed!
If you are really strong, you won't have to hide!
………………
Finally I have time to observe the surroundings.
After leaving the passage, Xiao Jin and Yun Ye entered a huge space.
How big is it?
It’s as if the entire mountain has been hollowed out!
The seven stone pillars that originally stood above the altar were also found inside. And the most eye-catching thing was undoubtedly the bronze coffin in the center of the pit.
At this moment, the coffin emitted a faint green rusty light.
"That should be where the bones are hidden, right?" As he said that, Yun Ye walked slowly forward, and Xiao Jin followed closely behind.
It was the final step, and neither of them wanted to make any mistakes, so they were extremely vigilant.
Walking forward and looking at the coffin covered with carvings, Xiao Jin silently slapped a disposable defensive talisman on his body.
"Open the coffin!"
After looking at each other, they both started to attack at the same time.
Xiao Jin's long knife dug deeply into the crack of the coffin. At the same time, she turned her wrist, and the heavy coffin lid flew up instantly under her knock.
Yunye on the other side did the same thing.
When the coffin lid was opened, the two of them jumped back at the same time—
Sure enough, it was another trap.
There was no skeleton of an evil god in the coffin. Instead, it contained a giant stitched-together corpse.
Realizing that his "home" was destroyed, a giant monster made of rotten corpses suddenly rose from the coffin!
Several arms danced like the legs of a centipede, and the head at the top suddenly split into four petals, revealing sharp teeth distributed in a ring inside.
Yunye cut off the three attacking corpse arms, and the broken limbs fell to the ground but turned into black snakes and shot up!
Xiao Jin spun around and chopped the snakes apart. The moment the blade cut into the main trunk, pus and blood gushed out and condensed into blood arrows in the air.
She dodged with her face turned sideways, but still got a bloody scratch. The wound was burning with pain, and her vision began to blur - Oh no, it was the corpse poison again!
Xiao Jin activated the "Key of the Moon" to summon a clone to hold back the stitched monster while he quickly detoxified himself.
After taking an antidote, Xiao Jin's blurry eyes finally cleared up. Then she sped up and started to work with her clone to deal with the stitched monster.
Of course, in between the fights between the two, Xiao Jin would also observe the surrounding situation from time to time.
Sure enough, she really discovered something unusual.
"There is a mechanism on the bottom of the coffin!" Xiao Jin's eyes lit up and he shouted quickly.
Yun Ye also understood Xiao Jin. While Xiao Jin and his clone were holding back the stitched monster, he took the opportunity to pounce on the coffin and stabbed his sharp claws into the gap in the bottom plate.
There was a "click" sound, and the entire pit shook violently, and the rocks on the right side of the mountain wall fell off.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
But their actions angered the Stitcher.
As if his treasure was being coveted, the other party began to roar shrilly in rage, causing the surrounding stones to fall off one after another.
But Xiao Jin and Yun Ye had no time to care about it at the moment, because their attention was all attracted by the direction of the stone wall.
It turned out that the next second after Yunye broke the bottom mechanism, a huge piece of ice was exposed in the cave space.
A black-haired young man was trapped in the three-meter-high ice. Frost was still condensing on his eyelashes, as if he was just sleeping.
The face was so beautiful that it was almost evil, like a statue of a god carved out of moonlight.
