Deadly Forbidden Tomb - C79
It was as if the next second, she would pounce on me and tear me to pieces.
Just as I was in a daze, she gently lifted her foot and slowly took a step forward.
And it was only this step, when the burning Blood Coffin suddenly went out with a “pu” sound. It was as if the entire Blood Coffin had suddenly fallen into water. At the same time, even the tremors in the cave suddenly stopped. Everything became exceptionally quiet, so quiet that it was terrifying.
Looking at this scene, I was dumbfounded. One kick extinguished the flames, while the other caused the tremors to disappear. Just how terrifying was this thing?
“Run!” “Run!”
The man in the suit suddenly shouted in fear behind him, followed by the sound of running footsteps. I turned my head to look and saw that my short legs were moving crazily as if they had been installed on a motor. In an instant, they had disappeared from sight.
This guy, he dares to abandon us and run!
My entire body shivered, and I didn’t dare to stay for long as I pulled Xiao Yun along to frantically flee towards the dried up well.
Just as I reached the bottom of the well, the man in the suit was already close to the mouth of the well. Just as I was about to let Xiao Yun crawl first, she shouted loudly: No!
I looked in the direction of the voice and saw a red shadow rushing towards me at an extremely fast speed.
Before I could react, the red shadow passed through me. In an instant, a cold aura seeped into my body and I instantly froze. The bone-piercing chill made me feel as if I had fallen into an icehouse, making it hard for me to move my limbs. This coldness didn’t come from my body, but instead came from my bone marrow.
I was like an ice sculpture, my entire body emitting extreme cold.
At that moment, my heart seemed to stop beating.
Xiao Yun anxiously stood in front of me as she stared at the dark depths of the cave. She had originally thought that there would be some sort of danger, but she didn’t expect that after the red shadow passed by, there would be no movement from inside the cave. It was very quiet.
Could it be that that thing was really trapped by the Seal?
I didn’t think much before I felt a heat in my pocket. The blue talisman that River Styx gave me previously started to burn automatically. When the blue talisman was ignited, the coldness on his body dissipated by half, and his limbs returned to normal.
How could I dare to stay? Xiao Yun and I immediately climbed up the rope.
After I climbed out of the dried up well and saw the eight trigram diagram, I heaved a sigh of relief. As soon as I came out of the well, the eight trigrams diagram suddenly showed some abnormalities. The words and symbols that had been still began to spin like a tadpole.
The eight trigram diagram moved, and a faint burning sensation appeared on my skin. Wisps of black smoke started to gather from my clothes.
I was curious, could it be that I, the Cadaveric Poison, was about to attack?
I took a look at the eight trigram diagram and suddenly felt that it was so eye-catching, and even a little disgusted, that I wanted to leave as soon as possible.
“Brother Changsheng, leave quickly! This place is dangerous!”
Xiao Yun also noticed my abnormality and pulled me away. When I reached the entrance of the temple, I inadvertently looked back. At the mouth of the well, a pair of hands had appeared! After being illuminated by the eight trigram diagram, his hands began to emit black smoke as if they were on fire.
My eyelids jumped, I didn’t dare to take another look, and immediately escaped from the Ancient Temple.
After exiting the Ancient Temple, I discovered that the dense fog in the mountain had disappeared without me realizing!
Although the sky was still dark, as far as the eye could see, the fog had already dissipated by more than half, and the remaining fog was also becoming fainter and fainter.
After seeing this, I couldn’t help but exhale deeply. From this, it could be seen that the Inhibition Formations activated by Li Changsheng’s life were powerful. Even though it could only be Seal for three months, it is enough for me to have enough time to escape.
It was all thanks to Li Changsheng that he survived this time.
His death was not pleasant for me. Even though it was only a few hours of contact, I still felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with him, as if there was some sort of connection between the two of us.
Even though I already knew he had only one day to live, there was still an uncontrollable sadness in me when he truly died. That feeling was very strange. It wasn’t under my control at all. It was as though it was the instinct of my body.
I don’t know if it was because he saved me, or because of that special connection.
When I thought about Li Changsheng, I felt my body go soft, as if all of my energy had been sucked out in an instant. Vaguely, I felt as if something had been peeled off from my body, and it was extremely weak.
This situation continued for a while before it gradually disappeared. I was curious, could this be the price of half of Li Changsheng’s life?
Doesn’t that mean I have lost half of my lifespan from what I did just now?
It seemed that this method of changing fate truly did have to pay a heavy price.
I don’t know why, but after escaping from the Ancient Temple, not only was I not happy, I was actually a little uneasy.
I kept feeling that something was wrong somewhere, and after thinking about it carefully, I couldn’t find the reason, I just felt that the Seal was too simple this time, and I couldn’t really think of it. Was this the might of the restrictions on Li Changsheng’s body, or was there another reason?
The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became. In the end, I didn’t even want to think about it.
The night was still very dark, and when the fog dissipated, the view became slightly more open.
The man in the suit had run off to who knows where. In the middle of the night, Faceless and the others were secretly watching us, so I didn’t dare to shout too loudly. I only held onto Xiao Yun’s hand and walked carefully towards the village along the white line.
Right now in the entire village, apart from the people who went out to work, only Big Uncle and I are still alive.
As for where my uncle is, I don’t know.
Walking at night was not a good habit, but it was better than staying in the wilderness for the night. I just want to leave this place as soon as possible, the further I can get, the better. After we leave this place, I must find Yang Fengxian as soon as possible.
Now that the Cadaveric Poison has not been removed, I probably do not have many days to live either. Thinking of this, the feeling of surviving the calamity quickly became heavy again.
Huangquan said, must use half a jar of nails or teeth ground into powder to use as a medicinal catalyst, in order to remove the corpse’s poison. This method is no different from courting death for me. Head less ferocious is not for nothing, I can only pray that there are other ways to deal with the Cadaveric Poison.
As he planned his future in his mind, he unconsciously started to descend the slope.
Because of the white line, he didn’t worry about getting lost, so he walked very fast.
After about half an hour, I could already see the Blind Grandma’s cabin. I was born to fear this blind woman, but now that her soul has dispersed, even if she doesn’t die, she will at least shed a layer of skin and have no time to find trouble with me.
Following the house in Blind Grandma, they soon reached the village.
After so many days, when I returned to the village again, not only did I not feel any sense of belonging, but I was so scared that I began to break out in a cold sweat.
The village at night was dead silent, like a Ghost Village. Looking around, there was not a single person who could move. If it’s just this, then it’s nothing. The mountain forest is even scarier than the village, so I’m more or less able to get used to it.
But the strange thing was, the moment I entered the village, I noticed that all the houses in the village were lit up!
The light didn’t dispel the chill in my heart. It only made me more frightened.
Now that the entire village was dead, how did the lights come on?
If the one lighting the lamp wasn’t a human, then what was it?
As I was thinking, I heard the sound of a gong.
At the start, the sound was very soft, but within a few seconds, the sound of the gongs and drums came closer. In the silent night, the sound of the gongs and drums was extremely strange and abrupt.
Then, something shocking happened.
At the corner of the village, a group of people slowly walked out. This group of people were all wearing very festive clothes, and they looked very red, like they were only there to escort the bride.
The ones walking in front were beating the gongs and drums, the ones in the middle were carrying the big red bridal sedan, and the ones behind were scattering flowers.
This wedding procession, no matter how I looked at it, looked exactly like that. However, upon closer inspection, I realized that something was amiss.
This was because these people were all wearing clothes from decades ago!
Furthermore, each of them walked in a peculiar posture. To be precise, they were all jumping rather than walking. Everyone’s knees were raised high, almost touching their chests. Their arms were also shaking, appearing very exaggerated.
At a glance, it seemed as if the entire team was jumping.
The most terrifying thing was that when they were walking, their feet did not touch the ground!
They were walking on their feet, almost on their toes, but I could see them so clearly that even their toes didn’t touch the ground.
How was this walking? This was clearly floating!
Seeing this, I felt my scalp tingle.
Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that the group of ghosts I met in the forest would actually appear in the village!
