Zhang Fan felt helpless when he saw Brother Chongzi so excited.

"Get up, I have a solution!"

He said calmly and walked up to the subordinate.

Several people around him held flashlights for him, wanting to see what tricks he had.

Taoist Zijin frowned and said, "Master, this thing is neither evil nor good, and it doesn't have any ghost energy. How should we deal with it?"

Zhang Fan shook his head: "Being here, the yin and yang will naturally be out of balance. The full yin energy will naturally harm people... We just need to ward off the evil spirits and suppress it!"

Zhang Fan said calmly that this mountain ghost mask was indeed strange and indescribable, but it did have its weaknesses after all.

Zhang Fan avoided everyone's sight, took out the seal of the Tiandi Pawnshop from his arms, and placed it on the neck of his subordinate.

During this process, he took a lighter from Taoist Zi Jin and pretended to get close to his subordinate's neck, as if he wanted to use fire to deal with this strange thing.

"Is there no other way? Brother Chongzi was so anxious that he kept rubbing his hands, and his expression was uncertain!"

He only has three men left. If he loses one more here, he will have no choice but to return the same way he came. Otherwise, he cannot guarantee that he can get out of the mountains alive.

Old man Jiang Hai and others nearby gathered around and looked carefully. They did not care about the seal that Zhang Fan placed on the young man's neck. Instead, they wanted to see how Zhang Fan would force the insect away.

If it is only roasted with fire, the catheter will desperately drill into the neck of this subordinate. However, the seal of the Pawnshop of Heaven and Earth is a magical weapon that contains the power of merit in the world. The interior is a magical weapon of its own. Even if there is no need to display any power, just simply wearing it can make one immune to all kinds of attacks.

Now that Zhang Fan had taken out the seal, he was very close to the gym, so at this moment, the insect that was like a catheter felt infinite fear.

Before, it had tried its best to get into the man's neck, but now it tried its best to push outwards. With a snap, the catheter fell from the young man's neck and landed on the ancient tree of the mineral vein.

"This thing is really alive!" The people around were amazed.

Taoist Zijin snorted coldly: "You want to harm others in front of your master? You are courting death..."

He swung the dagger angrily and slashed at the insects on the ground.

The tube-like insect suddenly let out a scream that pierced the eardrums, and its body bounced back, trying to escape quickly.

Seeing this scene, Taoist Zi Jin gritted his teeth in anger, then rushed forward, slashing the Taotie Fang in his hand. The infinite murderous aura contained in it exploded, and in just a moment, the insect flying into the air was cut in half!

Seeing this situation, Zhang Fan let out a breath, took back the seal of the Tiandi Pawn Shop and put it back in his arms, then stood up.

"Are you okay?"

Brother Chongzi walked forward and helped the younger brother up. The young man was still in shock and coughed for a long time before he finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Brother Chongzi, what on earth was that thing? I didn't even react... I was already hugged by that thing on my face. If Mr. Zhang Fan hadn't come to my rescue, I would have felt my neck pierced!"

His face was filled with lingering fear. It was really hard to guard against such an evil thing. If you were not careful, you could lose your life.

Moreover, he felt that the thing just now drilled into his mouth, releasing a deadly poison that made him feel paralyzed all over. The effect of the drug came too quickly, and he had no time to raise his hands to tear the thing off his face. He could only lie helplessly on the ground, feeling the despair of his throat being pierced.

"Do you remember the Golden Ancestor Gu in the well?" Zhang Fan raised his head and scanned everyone's faces. "In the well, the Liao general suddenly revived and wore something with similar insects inside. It was there that Maarsen saw the so-called resurrection and realized that everything was an illusion. He rushed into the mountain alone like crazy!"

Hearing Zhang Fan's words, the people nearby were also shocked.

"Shouldn't the Golden Ancestor Gu be that giant python? That thing has almost cultivated to human form and can even speak human language. How could it be this kind of thing?"

Zhang Fan nodded slightly after hearing this: "You should also know that the reason why the python is full of malice towards the human world is because it was plotted against and had its blood sucked day and night! But this python is protected by the energy of the earth veins, and it is not so easy to extract all the vitality from its body. And this kind of Golden Ancestor Gu is so greedy and cruel, it is estimated that all of them are parasitic on the body of the giant python. Now that the giant python is dead, these Golden Ancestor Gu will naturally flow around with the groundwater... But I can't guarantee that the batch of Golden Ancestor Gu we encountered is exactly the same as the one we encountered in the well in the mountain village."

Nangong Manyun nodded suddenly: "It seems that the people who built this place deliberately used the characteristics of this Jinzu Gu to prevent anyone who dared to step into this mountain from ever leaving! They might even become puppets for eternity because of greed and curiosity. It seems that these mountain ghosts are the guardians who come to protect this big tree."

After hearing Nangong Manyun's analysis, everyone nodded, thinking it made a lot of sense.

However, Taoist Zi Jin and Zhang Fan had other ideas in mind!

It is difficult to achieve immortality through cumbersome means, but resurrection from the dead is possible.

However, there is no way to infer whether the survivors still have their original consciousness, wisdom and memory.

Jinzu Gu should be the path that the ancients once took in search of the stone of immortality!

However, due to the effect of Jin Zu Gu, it was completely unable to fulfill people's wishes, so it was placed in this place as a guardian.

This Golden Ancestor Gu can migrate through rivers and can control any kind of life. Since it is a worm itself, it requires very little, so it can be guaranteed to live almost forever!

This also explains why there are so many mountain ghosts deep underground, and why they seem to be endless and so numerous that it makes one's scalp tingle.

"So, anyone who has died in this mountain could become the object of Jin Zu Gu's control? Become a puppet that only knows how to kill people crazily?"

Mr. Jiang Hai said with some hesitation: "If that is really the case, all of us are probably in a very dangerous situation."

Mr. Jiang Hai’s words made people’s scalps tingle, and everyone’s expressions changed.

Zhang Fan nodded slightly: "Perhaps these Golden Ancestor Gu do not regard this place as a permanent residence. These mountain ghosts are tireless and do not know pain. If there were no formation restrictions, they would have walked out of this mountain long ago. It seems that this place is much more complicated than we thought!"?
