"Ding dong!"
With a soft sound, a pair of hands appeared from the front. Under the unique red light around the other party's body, a pair of white hands could be clearly seen.
The hands were clasped together, and a small red bell tree appeared in her hand. It was like a Christmas tree, but there were dozens of small golden bells the size of eyeballs hanging on it. As the other party suddenly waved them down, a pleasant bell sound rang out.
Although each of them sounded individually, when they shook at almost the same time, it sounded like a long bell ringing to the outside.
Soon after, a woman in a red dress walked out from the corner. Or rather, it could be said that she floated over. Because she wasn't wearing any shoes, her white feet were exposed. She floated an inch above the ground, but it was still obvious.
In addition, the other party's elegant hair covered half of her head, but half of her delicate face could still be seen. She was like a lady from a noble family, full of gentleness. No one would have thought that the other party was a ghost that struck fear into everyone's hearts.
However, Gu Zheng did not pay attention to the other party's details. He stared at the other party, telling himself that he must not turn.
Perhaps the other party heard Gu Zheng's thoughts, because her body slowly floated in the opposite direction and continued forward, completely ignoring Gu Zheng who was not far away.
When the ringing sound became distant, Gu Zheng slowly let out a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that his entire body was drenched in sweat. The destructive power of the other party's bell was too strong.
In fact, in Gu Zheng's eyes, these ghosts were just small ghosts. They were not even Celestial Immortals. However, they were just mortals now. If they encountered them, they would be killed in an instant.
Moreover, the magic treasure in the other party's hand was incomparably exquisite. When it was waved, it could actually use some divine abilities. Gu Zheng's earlier attack was because of the other party's interference.
Gu Zheng felt that the other party must have more abilities that they did not show. After all, there were still many things that he had not encountered like the bald man and the others said.
He waited until the ringtone had completely disappeared before he stood up and walked back the way he came. In his opinion, since the other side had sent over a ghost, there shouldn't be any more ghosts in the short term.
Gu Zheng, who had relaxed, once again activated the yellow light. His footsteps were light as he walked forward.
However, what made Gu Zheng feel strange was that the light in his hand was flickering, as if there was some interference nearby. It was a little dazzling.
Gu Zheng felt that the other party was not far away. He slowed down again and walked forward.
However, just as he reached the intersection, he saw a red light in the originally pitch-black passage. The beautiful ghost from before was looking at Gu Zheng mockingly. It waved the bell in its hand, and at the same time, its face became a little distorted, pouncing on Gu Zheng.
"Ding dang!"
Gu Zheng, who bore the brunt of the attack, instantly felt a stuffy feeling in his head. He felt dizzy and wanted to fall to the ground. At the same time, the light in his hand was extinguished.
However, just as he was about to hit the ground, he abruptly pushed his arm down and bit his tongue. Using the immense pain, he forced himself to wake up a little. Then, he immediately ran back.
If he didn't run now, he would really be waiting for death. Gu Zheng's figure staggered as he ran forward in a crooked manner.
"Ding dang dang dang dang!"
The ghost girl behind him also ran after him. At the same time, the bell in her hand rang even more fiercely. Every time it rang, traces of black fog would come out and quickly enter Gu Zheng's body.
Gu Zheng, who was already feeling dizzy, felt his body turn cold. At the same time, countless negative emotions rose up in his heart. Fear, sorrow, and so on. At this moment, Gu Zheng wanted to give up. After all, he still had two more chances.
But in the blink of an eye, Gu Zheng forcibly dispelled this thought. He continued to run forward as fast as he could.
The rapid ringing of the bell caused layers of illusions to appear in front of his eyes. It was as if he was drunk, and the whole world became a little distorted. Under the illumination of the red light behind him, everything in front of him was a strange red. It was as if he could see ghosts laughing strangely in front of him, mocking him, and telling him to give up on running and not to struggle.
Gu Zheng didn't know where to go. He was just running away subconsciously. His mind was in a mess. In addition to the darkness in front of him, the faint light in front of him came from the Ghost Girl who was getting closer and closer. The red light on her body was emitting light.
Feeling the chill behind him, Gu Zheng smiled bitterly. It seemed that he had been ambushed as soon as he entered. This time, he would probably have to get out soon.
However, at this moment, an intersection appeared in front of him. Suddenly, he remembered that there was a stone door next to it. He vaguely remembered its position.
As though he was grabbing onto a life-saving straw, after Gu Zheng felt the wind behind him, his body suddenly sped up and instantly rushed to the intersection. Using his slanted body, he made a turn to the side and directly smashed into the stone door beside him.
"Open for me!"
Gu Zheng roared and used his remaining strength to push the stone door.
Following an ear-piercing sound, Gu Zheng directly rolled and crawled in. He directly lay on the ground. At this time, he didn't even have the strength to stand up. However, he still managed to flip his body over. Lying on the ground, he panted heavily as he looked at the stone door outside.
From the gap in the stone door, he could clearly see the red light. At this time, it was standing at the door. The bell in its hand was still ringing rapidly. Gu Zheng wished he could faint immediately. His head felt like it would explode at any time.
"Dong!"
A loud crashing sound came from the door, causing the small stone room inside to tremble.
Gu Zheng didn't care about anything. If he was going to fail, then so be it. He was powerless to do anything. At this time, Gu Zheng slightly understood why the outside world felt powerless when these ghosts were mentioned.
Even if they hadn't fully recovered their memories, their cultivation was still in their bodies. In the face of ghosts, other than running away, there was no way to do anything.
"Dong Dong!"
Two loud noises came from outside the door. The stone door also made a clear cracking sound. It seemed that the next time the other party attacked, it would completely break open.
However, the urgent ringing of the bell disappeared in an instant after one last time, and the red light outside the door also disappeared into the distance.
Following the ringing of the bell, the red light returned to its stable state and continued to walk away. Soon, the ringing of the bell disappeared from Gu Zheng's ears again.
The stone in Gu Zheng's hand that had been holding on to the whole time also emitted a faint light. Soon, the surroundings were illuminated clearly.
However, he was still lying on the ground. His chest was constantly rising and falling. It was really dangerous just now. If it wasn't for this stone room, it could be said that he had returned.
After lying down for nearly the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Gu Zheng slowly recovered. At the same time, the discomfort in his mind and body also subsided.
"I really forgot."
Gu Zheng smiled bitterly as he looked at the light in his hand. He couldn't help but feel vexed.
He already knew that the flickering of the light meant that there were enemies nearby. Sometimes, the other party wouldn't shake the bell at all. However, he didn't think of it at that time. Otherwise, how could such a frightening thing happen?
No matter how many times he heard it, it was better to experience it for himself. Gu Zheng exhaled and got rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind. Then, he prepared to go out.
"Hmm, is that a chest?"
However, just as he was about to go out, he suddenly saw some scattered chests in the corner. They looked like the wooden chests used to store clothes. However, it was obvious that this place was a bit shabby. The surrounding area was too decayed.
According to them, they had never found anything inside. Basically, there was no need to look. This was also the reason why Gu Zheng had never entered before. Most of the chests were empty like this.
Gu Zheng stepped forward and kicked one of the chests away. With a "bang" sound, a few of the chests toppled over. As expected, they were empty.
Previously, he had also inquired about the decorated archway above. Unfortunately, Baldy and the others didn't know. This was because no information could be divulged above. He could only experience it himself.
Gu Zheng wasn't too disappointed. He carefully pushed open the door and walked outside.
Although the light in his hand was still shining, the faint ringing of the bell still lingered in his ears. It was as if the other party could come out at any time.
The ghosts here weren't just the ghost girls. There were also a lot of them. However, they were also wandering in this huge maze in a disorderly manner.
That was why the outside world said that everything had an element of luck. Even if one's luck was good, it was very difficult to find an exit that would appear randomly.
.....
At the moment when Gu Zheng fell down, in another part of the Black Prison, a fierce battle was taking place.
The leading party were all bandits who made a living by robbing. Although there weren't many of them, every one of them was abnormally fierce. If one looked carefully, they would discover that the traces they left behind were not as simple as ordinary bandits.
However, the people who were robbed were of course not weak. Since they dared to come out, who would run around without a foundation? Moreover, they were a team of elites.
However, even so, under the other party's premeditated ambush, the guards here suffered a lot of casualties from the beginning. This caused them to be in a disadvantageous position from the beginning to the end. Even if they were also desperately protecting the leader in the middle, the encirclement slowly became smaller and smaller. Coupled with the estimated number of people they needed to protect, they were completely surrounded by the other party.
"Madam, let the horse beast quickly break through the encirclement. We will help you block them."
In the middle of the encirclement, there was a fully armed man outside. He held a one-handed sword in one hand and then said to the people inside.
His men also took the opportunity to retreat and take advantage of this
In the middle, there was a black demon beast that was at least three feet tall. Its whole body was covered in black scales. It looked like a huge monster, thick and strong. However, in front of it was a majestic horse head. On its forehead, there was a sharp horn. Just by looking at it, one could tell that it wasn't hot.
At this moment, from the similarly exquisite carriage above, a beautiful woman with silky hair and fair skin walked out. At this moment, she was wearing a gorgeous white coat. At a glance, one could tell that it was definitely expensive because it was impossible for such a thing to exist here. It must have been brought in by someone from the outside world.
"No need, I can't run away. I naturally know Senior Sister's methods, but I didn't think that the news would leak out." The woman didn't look very old. Looking at the enemies outside, she said lightly.
The horse beast below shook its neck uneasily. Although it wasn't weak, it didn't have much intelligence and still knew the danger in front of it.
"Madam Xue, don't worry. We will definitely protect you. We have already sent out a notice. The elders behind us will definitely rush over. I'm just afraid that I will accidentally hurt you." The man said again.
"Hmph, you want to wait for your reinforcements? Didn't you know that Lord Gai has already stopped them? This time, no matter what, you are all dead." Outside, a female commander with a voluptuous figure and a black veil over her face mocked them. Only her snake eyes could be seen.
At this moment, they still had twenty people. In contrast, there were less than ten people on the other side. Their strength was even more overwhelming. How could they let their prey escape?
"Wah wah!"
At this moment, from the carriage made of ghost wood, a baby's cry suddenly sounded.
Madam Xue, who had been as calm as water, revealed a pained expression. Then, she walked into the carriage. Soon, intimate coaxing sounds could be heard, and the baby's cry slowly subsided.
"I knew it was here. Everyone, hurry up and kill them all. Lord Gai's matter must be done perfectly."
Through a crack outside the carriage, the female commander saw a fair-skinned one-year-old baby boy. She was overjoyed and then roared behind her.
The air grew tense once more. Both sides were prepared for battle. Even the horse beasts trembled. The horn on their heads flashed with black light, and they actually raised a barrier to protect themselves and the carriage behind them.
Behind them, those oddly-shaped monsters that had barely managed to transform into human form all roared furiously. Just as they were about to charge over, a golden light suddenly appeared in the sky. A terrifying feeling rose in their hearts, and then it directly fell towards them.
This sudden abnormality caused both sides to immediately stop fighting. Looking up, they didn't know where that golden light had come from. Was it friend or foe? It had actually come here.
BOOM!
That golden light was overbearing. It didn't slow down in the air at all. It directly smashed into the empty space between them and exploded.
If the female commander hadn't retreated a bit, she probably would have been caught in the shockwaves as well.
The female commander frowned and clapped her hands. A gust of wind rose in front of her, scattering the dust and revealing a completely new appearance.
A woman even more beautiful than Madam Xue was currently lying in the crater with her eyes closed. Although there were no signs of injury on her body, she was lying motionless in the crater, giving off the impression that she was unconscious.
"Who is this person?"
Hearing the questions of her subordinates behind her, the female commander's mouth twitched. The other party seemed to have escaped from somewhere and accidentally crashed here.
Especially with the other party's flawless body. Needless to say, her strength was definitely at least on par with her.
"Since we've already started, let's take advantage of the fact that she hasn't woken up yet and kill her. Otherwise, if she wakes up and causes trouble, this operation will definitely fail."
The enemy in front of her couldn't be let go. Although Lord Gai had already stalled her, this place was very close to the nearest city. Reinforcements would soon arrive. When that time came, she would have to retreat. Thinking of this, the female commander's eyes flashed. She jumped down and instantly arrived above the woman below.
She threw out a crooked cane that looked like an old man's walking stick. She wanted to completely kill the other party on the spot. Even if the other party wasn't prepared for this attack, she would definitely die.
The man saw this and couldn't stop her in time. Who would have thought that the other party would instantly attack this person? His reaction was one step slower and he could only watch as the other party attacked.
"Kacha!"
The seemingly defenseless woman's body suddenly emitted a faint golden light when the cane was about to land. It was exactly the same as the light on her body at the beginning.
This light successfully blocked the other party's sneak attack, but in the end, its power was exhausted and it quickly shattered in the air.
The female commander didn't hesitate to stretch out her hands again. The rebounding cane flipped in the air and fiercely stabbed down again.
However, this time, the man reacted. When the other party's attack failed, he threw out the weapon in his right hand, blocking the other party's attack midway.
However, this person, since the other party attacked her, she wasn't one of the other party's people. If they could pull her over, they would be saved. Of course, they couldn't just watch her die.
"Go!"
The female commander shouted behind her. The subordinates behind her rushed towards the other party while she rushed down. However, no matter what, she had to kill this person first.
However, the man had already taken a step forward and blocked the way. He even grabbed the woman in the air and threw her to the side of the horse beast behind him. He completely eliminated the other party's desire to kill her.
"You will definitely die this time."
The female commander didn't hesitate to grab her weapon and attacked the other party to protect her subordinates.
On the other side, her subordinates quickly closed in on the carriage in a few breaths. The side with fewer people could only stick close to the side supported by the horse beast to buy some time.
When the man saw this scene, even though he was very anxious, under the female commander's interference, he couldn't free himself at all. Moreover, his strength was slightly inferior to the other party. He could only desperately attack the other party to buy some time.
Following the attack on this side, a baby's cry came from the carriage. It seemed that the huge commotion had frightened the people below.
As for the woman lying on the side, no one went to protect her. Each of them had to face two enemies. They didn't even have enough time to protect themselves, let alone protect her.
Thus, the enemies on this side directly surrounded this side, wanting to wildly attack the other party.
No matter how strong they were, the unconscious woman was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
The four people on this side didn't even bother to ask the enemies on the side. They directly took up their weapons and slashed at the other party's vitals.
"Bang!"
When the swords and blades were about to reach her, the unconscious woman in front of them turned into a cloud of pink smoke and disappeared. At the same time, a cold voice rang out in the sky.
"I, Pan Xuan, originally didn't want to be enemies with you. But now that you dare to injure me, don't blame me for being impolite."
