Bai Ran sneered: "You didn't expect that I would be like this after turning into a demon."

Before he finished speaking, a green ghost fire had already ignited in Bai Ran's hand. He waved his hand lightly, and the ghost fire shot out like a cannonball, straight into the depths of the pool.

Chi Shen did not move. He was still smiling and looking at the ghost calmly. The ghost fire passed by him and hit the house behind him. A loud noise was heard and the dilapidated stone house turned into waste.

Bricks, stones and rubble fell one after another. Li Xu, who was hiding not far from the house, immediately hugged his head when he saw this. Fortunately, the place he chose was blocked by something and there were trees nearby. The debris did not hurt him, but made him choke on the dust and cough violently twice.

He looked up at the stone house that had stood for more than 20 years without collapsing, then turned to look at Bai Ran, then turned back to look at the stone house, his face full of shock. Could this pool really be enough to deal with the problem?

Why do this ghost's moves look like a howitzer? This is not right!

Seeing that the attack missed, Bai Ran's face was not looking good. He sneered: "This second time, I won't let you dodge so easily."

Bai Ran covered his neck, and the blood flowing from his neck gathered. Green ghost fire slowly ignited on the blood, and the ghost energy around him also exploded like wildfire meeting the wind. In an instant, the sky and the earth darkened, and the sounds around him disappeared. The faint light from the kitchen had long disappeared, and it seemed that there were only four of them left in this place.

This was the ghost's negative energy affecting a small area. Chi Shen understood that when he was controlling Ji Xingchen No. 2's ghost energy that night, there was a brief period of time when the world changed color.

The ghost that could create this kind of space was indeed very powerful, but Chi Shen did not retreat. He was even smiling, like an elder looking at a child who had just entered the sect, smiling with satisfaction: "Not bad."

Outside the haunted house, Yuan Yiping and Xu Jiayuan also felt the vibration of the house collapsing. The two of them stood firm by holding on to the trees beside them and looked at each other in surprise.

"What happened?" Xu Jiayuan asked worriedly, "Did Chi Shen and Li Xu do something?"

Yuan Yiping looked up at the sky, felt it and said, "It came from the haunted house."

Although they have been trapped in a maze, they cannot get out and the sky is still the same sky.

Xu Jiayuan said: "That shouldn't be Chi Shen and Li Xu. They shouldn't take the initiative to do things. What happened? Is there anyone else there?"

"It seems we can't delay any longer." Yuan Yiping stretched out one of his hands and rolled up his sleeves, while his other hand was already reaching into his pocket for a knife.

Xu Jiayuan gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand: "Brother Yuan, use my blood!"

They had thought that Chi Shen and the others were fine. After all, Chi Shen and Li Xu were quite far away from here, so they were not in a hurry to use violent methods to break the formation. They did not bring any particularly powerful magic weapons this time, and they had tried some methods to break the formation before, but they didn't work. So they were still thinking about finding the eye of the formation that caused this ghost wall, and use conventional methods to break the formation and get out.

In fact, they had already found a dozen things that seemed to be the core of the formation, and Xu Jiayuan had ruled them out one by one. But now it seemed that the situation did not allow them to continue to investigate slowly.

Using blood to draw talismans, and using the evil spirit contained in the blood to break the formation, is also an unintentional method.

But they usually don't use this. First, the blood will remain here. After all, it is something in their body. If it is taken away by someone with bad intentions, it may be used to counter them. Second, if they encounter any situation, they will use blood to draw talismans. How can a living person have so much blood? If they encounter a few more things, the person will be gone. Therefore, they will only use this method in an emergency.

In fact, Xu Jiayuan only used it a few times, but he saw Yuan Yiping use it many times. Every time he sighed that Brother Yuan had a very strong physique and was able to do this without any problem.

"It's okay, it doesn't take much--" Yuan Yiping's knife was already on his arm, where there were deep and shallow wounds, all of which he had cut himself. If an ordinary person saw it, they would probably think that he had committed suicide before and had tried to commit suicide often. No one would have thought that the wounds on his arms were actually caused by saving people.

This time his knife landed on the skin but he didn't press it down. He paused and looked in one direction.

There was a red candle placed there, which was out of place here. The red candle was burning quietly, and the faint blue flame did not flicker in this wilderness, as if it did not feel the breeze in the forest.

"Brother Yuan!" Xu Jiayuan also shouted, "That's it! This should be the center of the formation. This is a ghost wall arranged with Yin energy mixed with strange formations. The place with the strongest Yin energy should be the center of the formation. That candle has the strongest Yin energy!"

Yuan Yiping: "...You don't have to be so happy. It's strange that this thing appears here. Anyone... should be able to see that there's something wrong with it."

Xu Jiayuan had already jumped over. He stretched out his hand to take the candle, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, the candle went out.

"Shen Shen, don't be so stubborn." Xu Xiuyun felt relieved when she saw the strength displayed by Bai Ran. Her previous shock had been soothed by Bai Ran's words. She understood that at this point, Bai Ran turning into a ghost was the best situation for her.

"He is a ghost, and I am also a ghost!" Ghost Face rushed out of Chi Shen's pocket at this time. Although he was already trembling under Bai Ran's yin energy, he still did not forget to help Chi Shen. "We are both ghosts, who is afraid of who! He doesn't even look as scary as me!"

Xu Xiuyun regained her previous calm demeanor. She ignored the ghost face and said, "Ranran committed suicide out of hatred for you. The ghost he turned into is undoubtedly a little more powerful than an ordinary ghost. Now I feed him flesh and blood, and the ghost-raising technique I learned from the Bai family. Although I don't have much time, Ranran is now a very powerful ghost."

She said with gentle eyes: "Shen Shen, do you know that when you walked in here, you have already entered the dining table I prepared for Ran Ran. Do you feel... a little dizzy? Are your legs okay?"

Li Xu, who was listening at the side, figured something out. He whispered, "That's why I fell there before. There's something wrong there! Chi Shen's mother is so cruel!"

After saying that, he carefully looked in the direction of Chi Shen and the others. Only when he was sure that no one was paying attention to him did he feel relieved. He turned around to look at Huang Lingling and the floral dress and suddenly felt relieved.

He had never thought about it, nor realized that now he felt that ghosts would make him feel more at ease than living people.

As soon as Xu Xiuyun said this, Chi Shen felt that he had to do something. He moved his feet, took two steps in Xu Xiuyun's direction, and demonstrated to Xu Xiuyun with actual actions: "It seems there is no problem."

Xu Xiuyun's expression was blank for a moment. Perhaps she had been shocked too many times tonight, and her shock was no longer visible on her face. She said, "How could it be?"

"I understand. Your arrangement of 'making the legs unable to walk' is aimed at living people." Chi Shen suddenly said.

Xu Xiuyun was stunned for a moment: "Yes..."

"You are no longer a living person, you are a ghost!" Bai Ran has learned to answer quickly. He laughed and said, "I was wondering how you could come out of that haunted place in the old house intact. It turns out that you are no longer a human. I should have thought of it earlier. You are no longer a human!"

"Oh, I'm so sorry that you found out... No way." Chi Shen smiled and reached out his hand, touching his face.

He peeled off half of the skin on his face, revealing his white bones. Under Xu Xiuyun's shocked gaze, Chi Shen put the half face back on.

The alluring ghost energy flowed out from the cracks in Chi Shen's skin. Ji Xingchen beside him moved slightly, as if he wanted to do something, but he didn't do it in the end.

The time it took him to tear off his facial skin was very short. While doing this, his expression did not change and he was still smiling.

Xu Xiuyun was so frightened by his bare-handed tearing of her face that she fell to the ground. She looked at Chi Shen and then at Bai Ran with trembling eyes, and shouted, "Ran Ran, eat him up!"

"Don't order me." Bai Ran gave her a cold look, and the dark green ghost fire in his hand shot out rapidly. He seemed to know that his aim was not very good, and the ghost fire exploded into ping-pong-sized pieces as soon as it was shot out. The ghost fire came towards Chi Shen.

"You know, if you're a ghost, you should act like a ghost. Ghosts also have their own aesthetics."

All the ghost fires exploded on the low wall behind Chi Shen. Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Xu didn't dare to eat melons anymore. He turned around and ran to another wall.

As soon as the will-o'-the-wisp fire exploded, Bai Ran discovered that a flower of ice had bloomed on his neck.

That is a flower formed by the overly strong yin energy.

Chi Shen looked like he was doing nothing.

But the thorny flower formed by Chi Shen's yin energy had already pierced Bai Ran's neck.

"You said something wrong. I am smiling at you not out of hypocrisy."

Chi Shen appeared beside him without him noticing, and said gently, "I want to leave a better impression on you, so that at times like this, you will only remember my terrible appearance, which is not good."

Chi Shen sighed: "I also want to leave a good impression in the ghost's heart."
