Chapter 274: Escape from Ghost Town to Heavenly Palace
Chapter 274: Escape from Ghost Town to Heavenly Palace
While Baili Pang'er was running for his life, he kept muttering to himself, "Oh, my Soul-Breaking Sword, I should have bought it a GPS locator earlier."
"It's fine now. I disappeared with Shen Qingzhu. I miss it, I miss it..."
His fat body looked particularly clumsy in the ghost-filled streets, like a penguin being chased.
Behind him, countless ghosts were baring their fangs and claws, and making shrill roars.
Their faces were filled with resentment and obsession, chasing the four people like hungry wolves.
It seemed as if it was screaming: "Please, save me!"
"Let me rest in peace, don't let me wander around this damn place anymore!"
The sound made people's scalps tingle, as if they were in the scene of a large horror movie.
While running, Cao Yuanhai had to pay attention to his left and right, for fear of being pounced on by a ghost.
He wished he could turn into the wind and run as fast as the wind, but he couldn't run fast because he was carrying two burdens on his back.
"Right! Right!"
Li Yangde suddenly shouted, interrupting Baili Panger's mumbling.
"Turn right? Li Yangde, are you sure you didn't take the wrong road?"
"How long will it take us to get to the door? My legs are almost broken!"
Baili Pang'er asked breathlessly, feeling like his lungs were about to explode.
Li Yangde was stunned by Baili Fatty's question. He scratched his head.
Embarrassed, he said, "Uh...I...I don't know either."
"What? You don't know?!"
Fatty Baili almost vomited a mouthful of blood, and the fat on his face trembled.
"Are you fucking kidding me?! The way you lead?!"
Cao Yuanhai also stopped and looked at Li Yangde with a sullen expression.
He asked in a cold tone, "Li Yangde, are you sure you are leading us back to the bronze gate? You are not giving us blind directions?"
Li Yangde hurriedly explained: "I... I just felt there was light over there, and thought it might be the exit... It's too dark in here, I really can't see clearly!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was completely dumbfounded. It turned out that they were not escaping, but were walking deeper and deeper into the ghost town.
So Li Yangde has always been leading the way based on his feelings?
!
It seems that they have been running for so long, but it was completely aimless?
Baili Pang'er felt like he was going to explode on the spot, and he stamped his feet in anger.
He wanted to kick this unreliable guy to death, but the situation was urgent, so he could only accept it.
"Fuck me..."
Baili Pang'er felt that his blood pressure had soared to a terrifying level.
He felt like blood was about to gush out of his throat.
Just as everyone was astonished, they found that there was another fork in the road ahead.
There were pitch-black corridors on both sides, like two huge monster mouths, waiting for their choice.
Li Yangde pointed to the passage on the left again and said firmly: "This time I feel this is the right way, believe me!"
Fatty Baili immediately pointed to the passage on the right and shouted, "Bah! I think the right way is right!"
The sound of their argument echoed in the empty ghost town, sounding particularly harsh.
At this moment, behind them, the ghosts that surged like a tide were getting closer and closer...
"I believe you ghost!"
Baili Pang'er rejected Li Yangde's proposal without hesitation.
He pointed to the passage on the right and said firmly, "Go to the right!" After that, he twisted his fat body and rushed into the corridor on the right first.
However, just after running a few steps in, a gust of cold wind blew, and bursts of "rustling" sounds came from the depths of the corridor, like the sound of countless papers rubbing against each other.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of paper ghost soldiers emerged from the depths of the corridor. They held paper knives and swords in their hands, with ferocious faces and exuding a chilling aura.
"Holy crap! Ghost soldiers are passing through?!"
Baili Pang'er was so frightened that he quickly stopped, made a sharp turn, and rushed back to the fork in the road.
He pointed to the corridor on the left and shouted to Li Yangde: "Quick! Turn left! Turn left!"
Li Yangde looked at Baili Pang'er in confusion, wondering how come this fat guy is more fickle than a woman?
You just said with all your confidence that you would go to the right, but now you change your mind?
However, the situation was urgent at the moment, so he didn't have time to think too much and followed Baili Pang'er into the corridor on the left.
The paper ghost soldiers were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they caught up with the ghost army and quickly approached the four people.
Upon seeing this, Fatty Baili hurriedly took out his magic weapon, [Yaoguang], and slashed at the paper-man ghost soldiers with his sword.
A golden sword beam cut through the darkness and headed straight for the paper-man ghost soldiers.
However, just when the sword was about to hit the paper figurine,
They unexpectedly folded into white paper in an instant, fell lightly to the ground, and avoided the attack.
The golden sword light swept down an earthen house, stirring up a cloud of dust.
When the smoke and dust cleared, the paper ghost soldiers rushed out from the smoke and dust again and continued to chase the four people.
"Why can't this thing be killed?"
Baili Pang'er was in tears. He felt like he was playing a monster-killing game with infinite resurrection. He couldn't kill these paper ghost soldiers no matter what.
Seeing the paper ghost soldiers getting closer and closer, the four people were almost in despair.
At this moment, they saw a group of black palaces appear in front of them, solemn and majestic...
"Wait, what place is that?" An Yuqing pointed at the palace complex in front of him, with a hint of doubt in his tone.
"No matter where it is, just rush in!"
Cao Yuanhai gritted his teeth. Although he was frightened, he had to charge forward given the current situation. He couldn't just sit there and wait to die, right?
He took the lead in quickening his pace and rushed towards the black palace complex.
Several people ran for their lives and finally arrived at the door of the nearest hall.
Fatty Baili didn't care about anything and kicked open the heavy palace door.
With a loud "bang", the palace door opened, revealing the deep darkness inside.
"Charge!" Cao Yuanhai roared and rushed in first, followed closely by Li Yangde and An Yuqing at the rear.
Baili Pang'er slipped in last, and then Li Yangde and Cao Yuanhai worked together to hold up the door, trying to keep those paper ghost soldiers out.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sound of paper ghost soldiers banging against the door was heard, making the entire hall buzz.
Although the door looked solid, it didn't seem to hold out for long under the constant impact of the paper ghost soldiers, and the few people couldn't help but become more nervous.
However, a strange scene occurred.
After hitting the door several times, the paper ghost soldiers suddenly stopped.
Instead of continuing to bang on the door, they retreated a few meters in unison, then dispersed quickly like a tide and disappeared into the darkness.
"Huh...huh..."
Fatty Baili slumped on the ground, gasping for breath. He felt like his heart was about to jump out.
After experiencing such a life-and-death race, he felt like he was about to collapse.
"What the hell are these paper figures?" he asked with lingering fear.
An Yuqing and Cao Yuanhai looked at each other, with a hint of doubt in their eyes.
An Yuqing said slowly, "I always feel that these paper figures are a little different from the ones I saw in the abandoned forest before..."
An Yuqing frowned slightly,
A hint of doubt flashed across her delicate face. "Yes, there are some differences. These paper figures... I feel like I've seen their faces somewhere before."
"Yes, yes, An Yuqing, you felt it too, right?"
"I had the same feeling. When I was being chased just now, I thought their faces looked familiar!"
Cao Yuanhai also nodded in agreement, frowning as he tried hard to recall.
"But I just can't remember where I've seen it before. It's strange."
Li Yangde raised the flashlight in his hand and shone it into the hall.
"Isn't this place... a little too big?!"
He exclaimed, and the flashlight beam swept across, illuminating the huge space in the hall.
The temple roof is so deep that you can't see the top, and the huge pillars are covered with ancient Taoist patterns.
This doesn't look like a palace at all; it's clearly just a huge cave.
"I say, what on earth is this place? Is it some kind of lair of demons or monsters?"
Li Yangde couldn't help but ask, with a tremor in his voice.
Cao Yuanhai ran to the door, looked outside, and quickly retracted his gaze.
"There seems to be a plaque at the door, but I ran too fast just now and couldn't see what was written on it."
"Don't look anymore, I saw it."
An Yuqing said calmly, "It says on it - Zong Ling Qi Fei Tian Gong."
"Zongling Qifeitian Palace?"
Cao Yuanhai scratched his head. "What is that? I've never heard of it before."
"One of the six heavens of Luofeng."
An Yuqing explained,
"The Six Heavens of Luofeng are the most mysterious and terrifying places in the underworld. I heard that only a very small number of ghosts and gods can enter."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other three people felt a chill on their backs.
Oh my goodness, have they accidentally entered the underworld?
And accidentally entered the "VIP box" of the underworld?
They are here to catch ghosts, not to take a day trip to the gates of hell!
"Then...what should we do now? This Heavenly Palace...should be very dangerous?"
Li Yangde swallowed and asked cautiously.
After all, in a place that even ghosts are afraid of, wouldn't it be even more dangerous for them, mortals?
"Who knows."
Cao Yuanhai shrugged and looked into the hall. "Now that we're here, let's make the best of it."
At this moment, Fatty Baili got up from the ground and dusted himself off.
His eyes were fixed on the depths of the hall, with a strange smile on his lips.
He rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Hey, do you feel it?"
"Is there somewhere else I can go in this hall? Why do I feel like there's something good waiting for me?!"
As he spoke, he took his fat steps and walked towards the depths of the hall.
