Chapter 482 [(*^▽^*)]
"Has it left? What exactly was that thing? Or was it just a trick, still hiding around?"
"They're probably still hiding around here. We can't just wait here for them to show up. Here's what we'll do: have a group of people form a perimeter to keep watch, while the people in the middle prepare the things we'll need to break through this maze. We need to get out of here as soon as possible."
"Do as the gang leader says. I'll keep watch on the perimeter."
"Me too. By the way, Lao Dong, you're in there. You're quick and efficient."
In less than a minute, everyone had their positions arranged and began preparing to leave. Just then, a spider the size of a millstone fell from the sky—yes, it fell from the sky—and landed right in the middle. The spider's legs, gleaming with a cold light, pierced through all five people. Three died instantly, and the remaining two were barely clinging to life, but would soon perish.
"Oh no! They're ghost-faced spiders! Everyone, get out of the way! Quickly, sprinkle the pure Yang blood on those ghost faces!"
"The most potent Yang blood is in Old Dong's body; he was just stabbed to death!"
"Get away from it first, lure it away, then find the Supreme Yang Blood on Old Dong, quick!"
Everyone scattered and fled. Ghost-faced Spider quickly picked a few people and chased after them. Not long after, realizing that no one was being chased, he quickly returned and found the Supreme Yang Blood on the already dead Old Dong. "I got the Supreme Yang Blood! Everyone come back quickly!"
He shouted as he looked around. The loud voice carried quickly back those who hadn't gone far, since the fog reduced visibility but the sound could still be heard.
Besides the three who died and the two who were lying on the ground groaning but have now passed away, there are still twenty-seven people alive.
The gang leader counted the number of people. "Twenty-seven, not a single one missing. Thank goodness. By the way, who did Ghost-Faced Spider chase just now? Did he come over?"
"It was chasing us just now, but when we came back after hearing the sound, we didn't see the ghost-faced spider. It probably didn't follow us back and hid again."
The gang leader gasped. "Let's put the bodies of our dead brothers together first. If we have the resources when we get back, we'll take them back and give them a proper burial."
While maintaining vigilance, everyone collected the bodies. Of course, they didn't take them away directly, but found a relatively secluded place nearby to hide them. That way, if they had the resources when they returned, they would take them with them. If they didn't have the resources, they would find a good place to bury them.
Of course, if there isn't even that much time, then there's nothing that can be done. Even the best of brothers are already dead. They don't care about anything else in order to save their own lives.
Xue Qian led the thirty people, including himself, to explore the area very cautiously. "Everyone, look around and see if anyone is missing. If you notice anyone missing, be sure to tell me immediately."
"Nothing is missing on my end, everything is as usual."
"Me too, everyone is safe."
Actually, there were 33 people here at the beginning, but for some reason, they found that one person was missing. No one knew when or how he disappeared. It was only when they realized that someone was missing that they discovered that he had disappeared.
Silently, whether taken away by something or confused and separated, they walked around the place twice and returned to the starting point, but still could not find the missing person, and even lost two more.
"Young Master Xue, we can't stay here any longer. We must leave this maze as soon as possible."
Xue Qian knew he needed to leave quickly, but the tools he had were only enough for him to escape. What about the others? Abandon them all? Of course not.
If I give up everything, what will I say when I reunite with the Kowloon Gang? And more importantly, how am I supposed to go to Xiushan Village to find the treasure all by myself?
The number of ghosts that follow will definitely be longer than I thought. Although I had learned a little about the situation before coming, I had never been here before, and what I knew from the sidelines was all...
Although he had crossed the river and traveled a distance before, encountering some dangers, he had quickly retreated because it was too dangerous, so he didn't actually experience much.
"Does anyone have anything that can break through the ghost wall? If so, bring it out, and we can all get out together, but please be careful..."
"Oh no! Old Chen who was just next to me is gone! How could this happen? He was just here a moment ago, how could he disappear in the blink of an eye? Did you see him?"
"Holy crap, he's really gone! How could this happen? I just... I saw him a few seconds ago, and he wasn't standing behind me, he was standing next to me. I just glanced at him to the side, less than two seconds, and when I turned around he was gone!"
"This ghost hiding in the shadows is quite formidable, but doesn't Old Chen have something on him?"
"Yes, yes, as long as that thing exists, even if it's taken away by a ghost, it's impossible to kill it."
They are right. Although the old minister who was captured was under control, the villagers really couldn't do anything to him because he was carrying something powerful.
Then the village chief gave an order, "Throw them directly into the thief's pit. Throw in all those who can be spared. Only kill those who can't be caught. Of course, everyone should think of themselves first."
"Yes, village chief!"
The more than 600 people were roughly divided into 20 groups, which means that 20 ghost walls appeared in the cemetery. The village chief also divided the villagers into groups, giving two of the ghost walls to the ghost-faced spider and the ghosts in the cemetery, and the remaining 18 were theirs. The villagers were divided equally among the 18 ghost walls.
So far, they have killed more than twenty people and captured more than fifty. Of course, all the corpses and the survivors have been thrown into the bandit pit in the back mountain.
As a result, Lin Leyou and his group kept a close eye on the map, and the number of red dots in the bandit pit was increasing, and now they could be described as densely packed.
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui haven't had a chance to make a move yet, since they weren't included in the "ghost wall" phenomenon and can only wait outside.
Lin Leyou said, "We could use these monitoring balls to see what's going on inside. I didn't expect that we didn't go in, but the monitoring balls did. Otherwise, we really wouldn't have been able to see anything."
Xue Rui fiddled with the monitoring screen in his hand, "Yes, but even so, we can only see the situation inside eight ghost walls, and two of the ghost walls where the monitoring spheres are located are the same."
In other words, two of the ghost walls were assigned two monitoring balls, while the remaining six were each in a separate ghost wall. They can now observe the situation of eight ghost walls in total.
Moreover, the "ghost wall" that Xue Qian was in was not among them. Lin Leyou could tell that although Xue Rui hadn't shown any reaction, he definitely wanted to see it.
This Xue Qian is indeed very suspicious. Is he really Xue Qian? Maybe he just looks very similar? The real Xue Qian is definitely not like this. If it's a prop, they can't imagine what kind of prop could have such a miraculous effect.
But for now, all they can do is wait. They can wait until Xue Qian is caught or escapes on his own, and then they can see for themselves and perhaps find out the reason.
About an hour later, Lin Leyou and his group finally saw the first group of people appear outside the cemetery. There were only five of them, and they all looked badly injured.
Upon seeing the thinning fog outside and the distant scenery, they ran forward like madmen, shouting, "We're out! We're really out!"
"Great! We're finally free! By the way, where are the gang leader and the others? Are we the only ones left?"
"They might not be out yet. There's nothing we can do. If we go back in, we might not make it out alive. Let's just wait outside. They should be out soon."
"I'm injured and need to be bandaged. Can you come and help me? I'll help you in a bit."
The person who spoke was the most seriously injured of the five. Everyone went over to help. After they helped him apply medicine and bandage his wounds, the others helped each other. After they were all bandaged up, some more people came out from the graveyard. They were also full of fear and covered in wounds. Then the process of applying medicine and bandaging their wounds was repeated.
Have any of you seen the gang leader and the others?
The three newcomers shook their heads. "We didn't see them. The gang leader isn't with us, and neither are the vice gang leader and Young Master Xue. It seems that many ghost walls can appear at the same time over there in the graveyard, trapping us separately."
"How many people did you have at the beginning? I had thirty-one people on my side at the beginning."
"Thirty-one... We started with thirty-three, but now only three of us have come out. Oh right, you only have five left?"
"Yes, there are only five of us left, all of us wounded. We don't know if we can reach Xiushan Village. But we're not the only ones who have lost out; those vengeful spirits killed several of us!"
"Of course we have to take them down... If we don't take down several of them, we won't have a chance to break through the ghost wall. I've killed three here, what about you?"
"Me? I killed two of them, and then I had to carry all the tools left by my brothers to break through the ghost wall and get out. It's just a pity... I don't know if I'll ever have a chance to collect their bodies."
"More people are coming out. How many are there this time?"
“There’s only one! This is terrible. There should have been more than thirty people at the beginning. He’s also badly injured. Bring him over here quickly.”
The person who came out this time had scratches all over his body, and even a penetrating wound on his arm.
"My God, what's going on? Isn't that an evil spirit appearing over there?"
