Chapter 726: Rebirth Hall Master
However, no evil spirits came out to ask for a fight.
Paimon gradually relaxed, "It seems that the evil spirits are still afraid of us."
Sora: "But it's not good to be stuck here forever. It's better to find an exit as soon as possible."
Su directly waved out the talisman to dispel and break the illusion, and the air really swirled to open a hole. The traveler team quickly stepped through it before the hole disappeared.
Paimon looked at the place that looked like an abandoned ruin. "What place is this? Did we go the wrong way again?"
Su also found it very strange. "The talisman I just used is used to dispel and break illusions. How come it feels like teleportation?"
"Let's explore the surrounding area first." Kong took the lead and a group of people moved forward along the road.
But just like the situation just now, the team of travelers kept circling in the same place.
"There's nothing new here. I'm bored. Let's demolish it." Su took out the bouncing bomb.
Sora took the bouncing bomb and stuffed it into his backpack, "Wait a minute."
We still don't know what the ruins are like. If we bomb them rashly, the situation may become more complicated.
After walking for such a long time, Paimeng was sure that there were no evil spirits or monsters in this place. "Yes, yes, let's walk around again and look for the exit carefully. If it doesn't work, please ask the Demon-Subduing Sage to fish us out."
"Yes, we can always get out in the end." A faint voice accompanied by a cold breath sprayed on the back of Paimon's neck.
"Ghost!" Paimon was so frightened by the sudden change that he jumped three feet high on the spot.
"Hu Tao, why are you here?" Su put down his weapon. "Did you also come to the Test of Courage and got lost?"
Walnut called back Youyou who was leaning against the back of Paimon's neck, "I'm here to work. I didn't expect you to get lost and come here."
Paimon stamped his feet angrily, "Hu Tao, you've gone too far! Too far!"
"I'm sorry," Kurumi, who was working, didn't smile as usual, but looked serious. "You have mistakenly entered the border between life and death. Please follow me closely from now on. No matter what you see or what happens, don't react too much."
Paimon became nervous at Kurumi's attitude. "What is the border between life and death? It sounds scary!"
Paimeng looked at the surrounding environment again. Nothing had changed, but he could feel a chill that penetrated his bones.
Seeing Paimon so scared, Walnut comforted her again, "Although the name sounds impressive, this place is actually quite ordinary."
"It's just that the earth veins are more disordered and there are some souls trapped deep in the ground. It's not the legendary hell or the underworld, so don't be afraid."
Walnut waved to the traveler team, "Come with me first, I still have work to do. I will take you back when I am done."
Under Walnut's familiar leadership, the team of travelers easily passed through this area that seemed like a haunted house.
"This place is specially designed. Generally, after walking for three hours or when they are frightened to unconsciousness, they will be thrown out by the exit."
Our ancestors took great pains and put in a lot of good intentions to scare away those who accidentally strayed in or those who had some talent and luck and made them never dare to approach again.
Walnut led everyone forward for a while, and came to the edge of a cliff. He pointed at the bottomless abyss and said, "Jump down."
The Traveler Team jumped without saying a word. Walnut didn't expect them to move so quickly and jumped down a beat later.
The pool with unusually high buoyancy below caught the young people falling from the sky.
Walnut said as she twisted the hem of her clothes: "What if there is a trap full of sharp knives underneath? Then it will become a barbecue skewer."
Paimon, now dry, distributed towels to everyone, "Because we all trust Hu Tao. Look, Su Lianshi didn't even open up."
Su tried his best to drain the water from everyone's body. Walnut lit a bright and warm fire, and Kong drew warm wind around the flame. In a moment, everyone was dry again.
"Oh~" Kurumi sighed, "Every time I have a special job, I have to go through this "baptism". This is the first time I feel so comfortable."
After everyone had gathered themselves, Kurumi led the group of travelers on their way, "We're going to the resting place next."
Walnut briefly introduced the so-called resting place, which is the place where some dead souls who still have obsession with the world of the living stay.
The reason why Hu Tao had to work overtime this time was because there had been more and more restless dead people recently, and many of them wanted to sneak out to have some fun.
"Don't talk about people behind their backs, and don't talk about ghosts in graves," Hu Tao showed a rare helpless expression, "I really didn't expect that someone would take a fancy to Wuwangpo and hold a courage test."
Sora made a reasonable guess, "Perhaps the business wanted to save money. An abandoned village in a dark forest like Wuwangpo can create a sufficiently scary atmosphere without any additional expenses for the set."
Walnut sighed, "It's okay not to believe in ghosts and gods, but if you are too profit-driven and even throw away your sense of awe, it will bring trouble."
"If Chongyun hadn't come to take a look, there would be even more undead souls escaping."
Walnut said this as he led the team of travelers across a "membrane". The space inside was unexpectedly bright and did not look like the deep underground at all. Instead, it looked like a park with warm sunshine.
Many translucent figures looked over, and some talkative ones even came over to talk.
"Master Xiao Hu is also busy today?"
Walnut: "Oh, yes, I'm busy."
"Are these the ones you recently recruited? Alas, they are so young, what a pity."
Paimon jumped up instantly, "Pah!"
Su discovered that these souls all had a thin glow of energy on them, most of them were grayish white, some were clear light blue, and a very small number had a hint of gold.
Su was counting how many colors there were when a soul mixed with dark gray and black rudely pushed the other souls away and walked over.
Evil spirit: "I'm already dead, and I can't go have some fun? Aren't you too ignorant, little girl?"
Hu Tao seemed to have eyes behind her back and accurately held Su's hand to prevent her from taking out the talisman to ward off ghosts and gods on the spot.
Walnut said kindly to the arrogant evil spirit: "The dead are the greatest. I will try my best to meet any reasonable requests that can be met, but it is not acceptable for the dead to cross the border and invade the land of the living."
The other undead echoed, "Yes, yes, there is order in life and death, this is the rule."
The evil spirit became more aggressive, "I am the rule!"
The undead were frightened and fled in all directions, fearing that they would be contaminated by the evil spirits' black energy.
The evil spirit showed a ferocious and smug smile, "I call you Master Hu to give you face, do you really think I'm afraid of a little girl like you? If you know what's good for you, open the "door" quickly!"
He is a soul, she is a living person. He was a robber who did not do evil in his lifetime, she is a little girl who runs a funeral shop. When the two sides compare their strength, they should follow the rules he set!
"Alas," Kurumi sighed, "I also want to be a gentle girl like Sue."
Paimeng was speechless, "Where on earth is Su Wen..."
The next second, Hu Tao pulled out Youyou and swung a big punch at the evil spirit, causing the opponent to spin up and turn eight and a half times in the air, then fell heavily to the ground and did not move for a long time.
"Hutao, you are as gentle as Su!" Paimon quickly changed his words.
