Chapter 346: Human-faced tree demon, you said you couldn’t become a spirit
Ye Bai shook his head, he felt that his guess was correct.
However, the mastermind behind this was incredibly clever. He first lured them into the cave with ghost insects, then, while they were off guard, quietly used magic to manipulate the zombies to attack.
Although Ye Bai wasn't afraid of this zombie, its sneak attacks were tricky and gave him a headache. Fortunately, Yang Mi and the others had brought the fire talisman with them when they escaped, otherwise, they would have been killed here.
"Is this a trap?" Meng Ziyi asked doubtfully.
"It's unlikely. It must be a coincidence." Ye Bai said, "I feel like someone is testing me."
"Test? Test you what?" Yang Mi asked.
Ye Bai touched his nose and said, "Maybe he wants to confirm whether I am a Taoist priest."
"you are not?"
"of course not."
"Then why are you acting like an old Taoist priest?"
"The secrets of heaven are beyond words."
Ye Bai said lightly.
The two girls were stunned, then burst into laughter.
Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi are both beautiful girls. At this moment, they are relaxed, with sunny smiles on their faces.
Ye Bai looked at them and said with a smile, "Let's go. There's more than just this one zombie in this mountain. If we go deeper, we'll encounter more zombies and face more dangers."
He took the lead and continued to move deeper into the mountains and forests.
Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi hurriedly chased after him.
……
Night falls.
They didn't encounter any more trouble along the way, and the three of them arrived safely at a small valley.
The valley is surrounded by towering trees, lush and green, and the scenery is picturesque.
"Wow, it's so beautiful here!" Meng Ziyi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Yang Mi hummed softly. A serene smile graced her face as she gazed intently into the distance, searching for something.
The three of them sat down to rest.
Yang Mi took out compressed biscuits and milk from the package and handed them to Meng Ziyi and Ye Bai.
"Let's camp here for the night. We'll set off again tomorrow morning," said Yang Mi.
"The environment here is good. It can temporarily shelter some things." Ye Bai also nodded.
The three of them sat together, eating compressed biscuits and drinking milk. The surroundings were unusually quiet.
"Do you think it's too quiet here?" Meng Ziyi said in a low voice, his eyes scanning the surroundings anxiously.
Ye Bai frowned slightly. He also sensed something was amiss. "This valley may seem peaceful, but the surrounding atmosphere is a bit chaotic. Perhaps something is watching us from the shadows."
Yang Mi hugged her arms tightly: "Don't scare us, we finally got to a place that seems safe."
"There's a rumor going around that some valleys are where yin and yang meet, attracting all sorts of evil spirits. While the scenery here is beautiful, there's no guarantee there won't be problems."
Ye Bai stood up as he spoke, took out some powder from his backpack, and sprinkled it around: "This is cinnabar powder, which can temporarily resist some evil things."
At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew, and the surrounding towering trees rustled, as if countless pairs of eyes opened in the darkness.
"What is that?" Meng Ziyi pointed to a big tree not far away. A human face vaguely appeared on the trunk, with a distorted expression of pain.
"It's a tree spirit. It seems this tree has absorbed too much resentment."
Ye Bai looked solemn. He took out a piece of talisman paper, muttered something, and threw it towards the tree.
The talisman paper was stuck to the tree trunk, and the human face let out a shrill scream and disappeared.
"It's so scary. There are more supernatural things than we imagined."
Yang Mi said with lingering fear.
"When we live broadcast tomb robbing, we are dealing with these evil things. But this time it feels like someone deliberately led us to these places." Ye Bai pondered.
"You mean, someone is manipulating this behind the scenes?" Meng Ziyi's eyes widened.
"Well, from the zombies before to the tree spirits now, it's too much of a coincidence. We have to be careful." Ye Bai said.
Suddenly, the cinnabar powder circle around them began to flicker with a faint light, as if something was trying to break through.
"They are coming." Ye Bai gripped the sword tightly in his hand and looked around vigilantly.
Countless black shadows rushed out from the woods. Their figures were vague, like ghosts or some evil creatures.
The audience in the live broadcast room were originally immersed in the beautiful scenery of the valley, but at this moment the picture suddenly changed, countless black shadows rushed out, and the barrage of comments instantly exploded.
"Oh my god, what's going on? Special effects? It's too realistic!"
"It must be the special effects, but they are really amazing. It feels like watching a blockbuster movie."
"Are you guys stupid? This isn't a special effect. Didn't you see the expressions on Master Ye's faces? This is a true supernatural event!"
The audience in front of the screen stared at the live broadcast nervously, their hearts in their throats.
While waving his sword to resist the black shadow, Ye Bai shouted to the camera: "Don't panic, this is not a special effect. We are in big trouble now, but I will protect everyone's safety." His voice was still steady, but fine beads of sweat had already seeped out of his forehead.
Meng Ziyi and Yang Mi were not idle either. Meng Ziyi was holding the peach wood sword given to her by Ye Bai.
Although she was afraid, she still tried her best to wave at the black shadow. Yang Mi took a few pieces of talisman paper and recited the spell taught by Ye Bai, trying to disperse the black shadow.
"Come on, Mimi! Come on, Meng Ziyi! You can do it!"
"Master Ye is so handsome, his skills and aura are so impressive, I love him!"
"Don't be so crazy, they are in danger now, is there any way to help them?"
The shadows grew in number, gradually surrounding the three of them. Ye Bai knew how powerful these shadows were. They seemed ethereal, but once entangled, they would continuously absorb a person's Yang Qi.
"Everyone, stand back to back and don't give them any chance to take advantage." Ye Bai said loudly.
"What on earth are these?" Meng Ziyi asked in a crying voice.
"It's a ghost, a ghost driven by resentment. According to folklore, they often wander in the place where yin and yang meet, and specifically attack the living." Ye Bai explained.
In the live broadcast room, the audience was also discussing it crazily.
"Ghosts? Doesn't that only exist in legends?"
"I feel like Master Ye and the others are in great danger this time. Should we call the police?"
"What's the point of calling the police? This is not something the police can handle."
Ye Bai took out a Bagua mirror from his backpack, muttered something, and then pointed it towards the area with the most shadows. The Bagua mirror emitted a golden light, and the shadows hit the golden light, making a sizzling sound and dissipating instantly.
"Wow, Master Ye is so awesome!"
"What kind of treasure is this? It feels so magical."
"This is the Bagua Mirror, a Taoist magic weapon. It seems that Master Ye is really not simple."
However, more shadows surged forward, seemingly unafraid of the Bagua Mirror's light. Ye Bai frowned, knowing this wasn't the way to go. He had to find the source of these ghosts.
