Chapter 652 It seems that the ferocious beast is just ahead.
Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the evil ghost's warning, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. He was not shaken by the evil ghost's intimidation, but became more determined to destroy the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave. He turned his head and glanced at Fan Wujiu and the four teams behind him, and said in a steady and firm tone: "It seems that this journey will not be smooth, but we have no way out."
Fan Wujiu held the Aoxue Linghan Sword, his eyes cold and stern: "No matter what kind of beast it is, anyone who stands in the way must die."
Lin Shishuang clenched his fists, and said with a hint of excitement: "Boss, let's go straight in! This evil ghost looks ordinary, let's deal with it first, and then go in to meet the beast. Besides, we have all seen the world, so what are the evil ghosts and beasts from hell?"
Xiao Shuai pushed his glasses and calmly analyzed: "Since the evil ghost dares to guard the door here, its strength should be strong. We must fight quickly to avoid alerting the beast inside. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to deal with two at a time."
Chu Jianglan carefully observed the runes on the stone door and whispered, "Boss, these runes seem to be a kind of sealing technique, probably to prevent the power of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave from leaking out. We have to be careful after we go in."
Jiang Luo nodded, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "Everyone, get ready and deal with this evil ghost first."
Seeing that Jiang Luo and his group had no intention of retreating, the evil ghost roared and rushed over waving its huge claws. It was extremely fast and arrived in front of everyone in the blink of an eye. Fan Wujiu snorted coldly, and the Aoxue Linghan Sword was unsheathed in an instant, and a fierce sword energy rushed straight at the evil ghost.
The roar of the evil ghost echoed in the dark corners of the underworld. Its body was as big as a mountain, and it was surrounded by a thick yin energy, like a demon crawling out from the depths of hell. It waved its huge claws, and its eyes flashed a fierce red light, obviously entering a violent state.
Yuan Haokun stood at the front, his right arm flashing with a yellowish-brown light, the power of the Qilin Arm bursting out between his muscles. He shouted in a low voice: "Look at my Qilin Arm! Rock Shield!"
A thick rock shield instantly rose from the ground, blocking everyone. The evil ghost's sharp claws slammed hard on the rock shield, making a deafening sound. Cracks appeared on the surface of the rock shield, but it did not break.
Lin Shishuang quickly jumped to a high place, with three wind arrows already on the crossbow in his hand. As soon as he loosened his fingers, three arrows shot out like meteors, with sharp wind blades wrapped around them, heading straight for the evil ghost's vital points.
The evil ghost roared and used its sharp claws to block two arrows, but the third arrow pierced directly into its shoulder. The wind blade raged in the wound, making it roar in pain.
Xiao Shuai stood in the middle of the team, quickly forming seals with his hands, and whispered: "Protective array, golden light protects the body!" A golden light rose from the ground and turned into a barrier, covering everyone.
The evil ghost pounced again, and its sharp claws slammed hard on the barrier. The golden light flashed, but it was not broken. At the same time, Xiao Shuai cast another spell: "Enhancement Talisman: Breaking Power!" The spell turned into a golden light and merged into Yuan Haokun's body.
Yuan Haokun's Qilin arm suddenly burst out with even more powerful strength. He roared and punched the ground: "The ground is cracking!" The ground instantly cracked, and a huge crack went straight to the feet of the evil ghost. The evil ghost was forced to retreat again and again due to the vibration of the ground.
Fan Wujiu stood aside, his long sword already unsheathed, a chilly aura lingering on the blade. He shouted, "Sword Qi Slash!" The long sword turned into a beam of cold light, heading straight for the evil ghost's neck.
The evil ghost sensed the danger and quickly used its sharp claws to block in front of it, but the frost sword energy still left a deep scar on its claws. The cold air spread quickly, slowing its movements.
The evil ghost was forced to retreat step by step by the attacks of the crowd, but it did not give up. It roared, and the Yin energy around it instantly condensed into a black barrier, blocking the attacks of the crowd. Lin Shishuang frowned and whispered: "This guy's defense is too strong, we have to find a way to break its barrier."
Xiao Shuai quickly took out a talisman from his arms and whispered: "Destroy the evil! Break it with the thunder of heaven!" The talisman turned into a bolt of lightning and struck the black barrier of the evil spirit.
The lightning collided with the barrier, making a harsh roar, and cracks appeared on the barrier. Yuan Haokun seized the opportunity and shouted: "Earth Element·Bullish Collapse!" A huge rock instantly rose from the ground. He swung his Qilin arm and smashed the rock hard against the evil ghost's barrier. The barrier finally shattered under the heavy blow of the boulder, and the evil ghost was shocked and retreated again and again.
Lin Shishuang seized the opportunity and used the divine crossbow again. The arrow shot out like lightning, heading straight for the evil ghost's chest. The evil ghost tried to block the arrow with its claws, but the arrow was too fast and pierced directly into its heart. The evil ghost let out a shrill scream, and the yin energy around it began to dissipate rapidly.
Fan Wujiu quickly swung his sword and used a soul-slashing move. The sword turned into a cold light and chopped the evil ghost's neck. The evil ghost's head was chopped off, and its body turned into a cloud of black smoke and completely dissipated into the air.
After the battle, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Shuai quickly checked everyone's injuries and cast a healing spell. The spell turned into a soft light and merged into everyone's body, and everyone's injuries recovered quickly.
Jiang Luo stood aside, watching all this calmly, and seemed very satisfied with everyone's performance. He said calmly: "This evil ghost is really powerful. It takes all four of you to kill it at the same time. I am a little curious now, what kind of beast is behind the door?"
Fan Wujiu stood in front of Jiang Luo, still holding the Aoxue Linghan Sword in his hand, and said, "No matter what it is, let it have a taste of my Aoxue Linghan Sword. Xiaoluo, stand behind me, I want to see what this beast's true form is!"
As he spoke, he swung his sword and split open the heavy nail door of the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons. The nail door made a rumbling sound as if it came from the depths of hell, and finally slowly opened.
The cold wind inside blew out suddenly, bringing with it piercing pain and a sickening fishy smell.
As soon as the door opened, everyone heard the roars of evil beasts. The roars were ear-shattering and made people shudder.
Surprisingly, the beast was not outside the door. Jiang Luo led everyone in cautiously and said, "Everyone be careful. The fog in here is very thick and we can't see clearly what's going on inside."
Everyone responded in a low voice, but before they had taken two steps, a series of cracking sounds were heard under Fan Wujiu's feet. Everyone stopped immediately and looked down. Under their feet was a pile of dry bones that had been there for who knows how long.
The dry bones had lost their toughness and broke into pieces when stepped on, obviously caused by years of drying out.
Jiang Luo lit a fog-dispelling talisman, and when the sight of Ken Zhuang appeared before people's eyes, Jiang Luo and the four teams behind him were all shocked.
All I could see were dead bones and remains. The red spider lilies, a symbol of death, were blooming from the bone joints or skulls. They were gorgeous and eerie. Compared with the dead white everywhere, the glaring red was as terrifying as blood.
Jiang Luo held the fog-repelling talisman in his hand, and the light of the talisman gradually dispelled the thick fog in front of him, and the scene inside the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave gradually appeared in front of everyone. Everyone's pace slowed down involuntarily, and their eyes swept around solemnly.
The ground beneath my feet was no longer hard black stone, but was covered with layers of dead bones. The bones had long been dried by the wind, and when I stepped on them, they made a crisp sound, as if telling of their past pain and despair. Between the dead bones, sporadic red spider lilies grew out of the cracks in the bones, and their petals were as bright as blood, which was particularly dazzling in the gray environment.
"How many people died here?" Lin Shishuang murmured in a low voice, unconsciously holding the crossbow tighter. He looked around and found that the pile of dead bones was almost endless, as if the ground of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave was paved with these bones.
Xiao Shuai pushed his glasses up, his expression solemn: "These bones are of different ages. Some have weathered into powder, while others are still intact. It seems that countless souls have been devoured here, and the time span may be hundreds of years, or even longer."
Yuan Haokun squatted down, picked up a broken bone arm, frowned: "These souls were forcibly sent into the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts, and their resentment condensed here, forming such a thick yin energy." His Qilin arm glowed slightly, as if sensing the strong resentment around him.
Fan Wujiu stood beside Jiang Luo, the Aoxue Linghan Sword in his hand trembling slightly, the coldness of the sword intertwined with the surrounding Yin Qi. He whispered: "Xiao Luo, the resentment here is too heavy. If it is not dealt with quickly, it may cause a greater impact on the underworld."
Jiang Luo nodded and looked deep into the depths: "The core of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave is just ahead. We must find it as soon as possible and completely destroy this evil force."
As they continued to move forward, the dry bones under their feet made a "crunching" sound, as if every step was stepping on the remains of countless souls. The walls around them were engraved with strange runes, and there seemed to be a faint red light remaining in the runes, like the sealed vengeful spirits wailing silently.
Chu Jianglan carefully observed the runes on the wall as he walked, and whispered: "These runes are forbidden techniques of the underworld, used to suppress the power of souls and prevent them from resisting. It seems that the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts is not only a place to devour souls, but also a purgatory for refining souls."
Lin Shishuang couldn't help but shudder and whispered, "These people...what mistakes did they make in their lives that they have to suffer such torture?"
Xiao Shuai shook his head, his tone heavy: "I'm afraid most of the souls are innocent, they are just used as sacrifices by certain forces."
Everyone was silent for a moment and continued to move forward. The air was filled with a biting chill, whether it was from the underworld or the resentment of those wronged souls. Suddenly, a low roar came from the darkness ahead, as if some giant beast was waiting for their arrival.
Fan Wujiu clenched the sword in his hand, his eyes cold: "It seems that the beast is just ahead."
Jiang Luo stopped, his eyes calm and firm: "Everyone, get ready. We can't make any mistakes this time."
Everyone nodded, their eyes full of determination. They knew that the next battle would be even more dangerous, but they had no way out, so they could only move forward and completely destroy the dark power of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.
The dry bones under their feet still made a "creaking" sound, as if seeing them off. And the blooming red spider lilies swayed in the darkness, as if mocking their fearlessness, and as if praying for them.
