When the female ghost grabbed Zhang Xian's neck, Ming Zhuo rushed over and grabbed her wrist, thus preventing Zhang Xian's throat from being crushed.
This is no female ghost; it is clearly a powerful corpse demon.
No one knows how long he has been dead. Because this place is filled with yin energy and has a strange aura, his body has not decayed and his soul has not been destroyed, maintaining his appearance from when he was alive.
When they entered, the firelight, sounds, and the life force of the living disturbed them, waking the corpse demon.
If Zhang Xian dies, the corpse demon will taste fresh blood and its ferocity will be fully unleashed, turning it into a bloodthirsty killer.
This thing's body had clearly been tempered, and its strength was astonishing. In a short time, it exchanged several blows with Mingzhuo.
Zhang Xian was tossed aside like a chick, and almost burst into tears. What the hell was this thing?!
He was able to get on this paranormal show entirely because he carried a lot of magical artifacts with him, but they had no effect on the thing at all, and he almost died.
In the darkness, he couldn't figure out who had saved him, so he got up and ran outside.
With the troublesome person gone, Mingzhuo turned to the walking corpse and smiled slightly, "Alright, beautiful lady, you can go back to sleep now!"
The corpse demon was ferocious and brutal, but she was even more ferocious and brutal than the corpse demon. She swung the corpse demon and slammed it directly into the ground, creating a large crater.
Then she stuck a talisman on the corpse demon's forehead, and the corpse demon slowly closed its eyes.
Mingzhuo used his phone for light, thinking to himself that something was wrong. This cave had been cleverly designed with a yin-yang feng shui arrangement, so the beautiful woman shouldn't have woken up so easily.
Otherwise, those who came to explore before would probably have died one after another.
She examined it closely and then noticed a drop of blood between the corpse demon's eyebrows.
This thing didn't wake up on its own; it was forcibly awakened.
It's unclear whether this was specifically targeted at them or if there were other intentions.
Mingzhuo glanced at the pried-up floor tiles, revealing a dark passage that stretched out from which a putrid smell emanated.
She had noticed the cave entrance was loose earlier, but she didn't warn the group, lest their curiosity lead them to explore the ancient tomb.
They're here to find the wishing train, so we can't stray from the main theme. We can see the ancient tombs another day.
Mingzhuo casually tossed the beautiful woman down, put the paving stones back up, and turned to chase after Zhang Xian in the direction he had left.
Zhang Xian was terrified when he heard footsteps approaching from behind. Why was that ghost targeting him?
Fortunately, a faint light appeared ahead, and he rushed towards it with delight.
"Where do you think you're going? Come back!" A girl's voice rang out in the darkness, and then a hand grabbed him by the back of his collar and pulled him back.
Zhang Xian felt a chill run down his spine. This female ghost was incredibly strong! Oh my god, how terrifying!
Just as his fear reached its peak, he saw the other person's face.
"It's you?" Zhang Xian was stunned. What was going on?
Mingzhuo: "Take a good look, which way is the exit?"
She casually tossed a talisman over, and the vengeful ghost hidden in the shadows let out a shriek before vanishing instantly.
Zhang Xian: "..."
It turned out to be a trap; in my panic, I almost fell for the ghost's trick!
Zhang Xian felt a chill run down his spine, but quickly waved his hand and said, "Why did I need you to remind me? I already sensed something was wrong and was just testing you."
Mingzhuo's gaze fell on the recording device around Zhang Xian's neck, and he roughly understood: this was an attempt to establish a superior persona no matter what.
"Really? Then you should also know that once you move forward, you can't turn back, otherwise the ghosts will leave us behind."
Zhang Xian retorted, "Of course I know. Okay, hurry up and get out of here. I'll go ahead and protect you."
The rest of the journey went much more smoothly. When the two of them walked out of the cave, the main group had only just emerged.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Zhang Xian and Ming Zhuo come out one after the other.
Meng Tiange couldn't help but look at Zhang Xian with newfound respect. "You took care of that thing inside? You're quite capable."
Zhang Xian acquiesced, standing calmly with his hands behind his back, "It's just a corpse demon and a few ghosts, what's there to be afraid of?"
Meng Tiange: "I didn't realize you were so amazing in the previous episodes. You've been hiding your talent for a long time, I admire you! But why do you always have your neck stiff? Are you injured?"
He Wangyao suddenly looked terrified. "What's that lying behind you?"
Zhang Xian was so frightened he almost jumped up, frantically grabbing at his back, shouting, "Where? Where?"
He Wangyao said calmly, "Oh, I must have misread it, but you don't seem to be that amazing."
Everyone realized that Zhang Xian was a big braggart. If he had really dealt with that corpse demon, how could he be so calm?
But if it wasn't Zhang Xian, could it be...?
Yu Shangyuan turned his gaze to Mingzhuo. As the saying goes, one can appreciate flowers under the lamp or beauties under the moon. Just by standing there, she was so beautiful that it made one's heartstrings tremble.
No, no, no, it couldn't be her!
If it wasn't Mingzhuo, then who else could it be?
Zhang Xian realized that He Wangyao had deliberately exposed him, and his face immediately turned bright red. "I've been protecting her the whole way. You can ask her if you don't believe me."
He thought to himself that the young girl was a newcomer and would definitely give him face.
"Explain yourself clearly, and Brother Zhang will protect you from now on," Zhang Xian patted his chest and promised.
Not to be outdone, Yu Shangyuan said, "I will protect you too."
He Wangyao couldn't help but sneer. One by one, these two are talking big without fear of biting their tongues.
Mingzhuo: "Just the two of you? Then forget it. One of you chatted with the corpse demon the whole way without realizing it, and the other almost gave the corpse demon his head. You two are both brilliant and equally matched."
Meng Tiange was confused: "What do you mean? Is it the corpse demon you were dealing with?"
He Wangyao: "What else did you think? This is my boss, understand? Even if ten corpse demons came, my boss could take care of them with ease."
Everyone was shocked. Did they not know she was that amazing?
Chu Yuqi's feelings were somewhat complicated. Of course, she knew who was protecting whom. So this was what it felt like to be a spectator from God's perspective.
It felt a tiny bit good.
——
In front of the monitor, Luo Wenxin couldn't help but laugh.
"Director, you've really struck gold." He fiddled with his folding fan. "This young girl is incredibly talented, she's got amazing skills."
Lu Yan was completely confused and shocked, feeling as if he had been hit by a huge surprise.
I thought they'd shove two in there who would drag us down, but they've both performed so well.
"People who don't know the situation might think we're acting, or that we have a script," the assistant director said with a chuckle.
"Director, our online viewership has skyrocketed! This episode is sure to be incredibly exciting and captivating once it's officially edited!"
Luo Wenxin smiled, looked up at the direction of the valley, and paused slightly: "It's foggy."
——
Mingzhuo also noticed the fog immediately.
Despite it being the middle of summer, the temperature in the valley was quite low at night, and when the fog rolled in, the perceived temperature was even lower.
He Wangyao rubbed her arms, her teeth chattering from the cold. "Boss, is there something wrong with this fog?"
