Chapter 96: Ghost Cave, Ghosts Calling People (Please Subscribe, Please Pass the Monthly Ticket)
When we returned to the gathering place, the sky was getting slightly brighter.
Naturally, some people got up early and started making fire and cooking.
What is made is the meat of black bear.
The billowing hot steam and the aroma of meat coming from the big pot made everyone salivate.
You know, the blood and flesh of monsters are all very nutritious and very beneficial to people who practice martial arts.
Therefore, many people are lingering around the big pot.
When Chen Yushu came back, naturally some people paid attention to him. He just gave a perfunctory answer, and when asked more questions, he would just say "I went to the toilet" to evade them.
Finally, when Liu Qingyan came over, he spoke and said that he had taken a walk. Liu Qingyan didn't say much, but just said that they were about to enter the shady area of Tianyuan Mountain, and the danger level would increase greatly, so they should not run around anymore to avoid getting lost.
Chen Yushu nodded in agreement.
Soon, the meat was cooked.
Then, with Liu Qingyan's nod, everyone quickly started eating and drinking with the dry food and thick porridge.
Chen Yushu also filled a large bowl. The bowl and chopsticks were made of locally sourced bamboo tubes and chopsticks. After taking a bite of the meat, he immediately felt his body warm up, and a large amount of energy and nutrients were quickly absorbed by him.
Not only him, but others as well.
Especially for many martial artists who have reached the level of internal training, their internal organs have been strengthened and their digestion is faster. Almost everyone eats three or four bowls.
Fortunately, the black bear demon was big and had a lot of meat, so the group of people ate until their stomachs were full. Then, in order to vent their abundant energy, some people even started practicing martial arts.
Chen Yushu was also practicing martial arts to expend his energy.
First is the Medicine King Posture, then the Medicine King Locking Strength.
The steaming heat continued to rise as he practiced, and actually formed a layer of mist around him.
However, no one practiced for too long.
Because their goal was not achieved, no one knew what dangers might occur on the way, so they naturally kept enough energy just in case.
So with a greeting, everyone set off quickly.
The two people from Qianjia Village also ate black bear meat early in the morning, and they were full of energy, especially the old herbalist. His face looked much rosier and he looked several years younger. Therefore, he was much more active in doing things. Not only did he take the lead to lead the group, but he also pointed out some dangerous places from time to time.
For example, walking along another mountain path, there is a black snake's lair. Going north, there is a lone wolf as big as a calf. Not far to the west, there is a dark forest. In previous years, herbalists who went there rarely came out alive, and Qian Yungen was the only one.
According to him, there is a strange tree growing inside that eats people.
Although these dangers may not be too big for Chen Yushu and his group, after all, everyone present is a martial artist, including several martial artists who have reached the internal strength realm, as well as geomancy masters like Lu Yizi.
But in order to avoid possible danger, they still took a detour.
After half an hour, they successfully reached the top and then quickly went down the mountain to the other side.
After walking for only an incense stick of time, the faces of the group became slightly serious.
I could clearly feel that the surroundings had become much colder.
Even if there was no wind, there was still a chill blowing towards them.
"Just keep going down ahead, and that large sunken forest is the Ghost Cave.
We didn't dare to go any further. There were evil spirits hiding in the Ghost Cave. No one from our village who had approached it in the past had ever come back alive.
We agreed in advance that we would return after bringing you here, so..."
It was the old herbalist who spoke again. Looking at the dense forest ahead, he dared not take another step forward.
The hunter Qian Hu beside him also spoke up, "This is the restricted area of our village. You can't enter here no matter what."
"Okay, we'll go on our own from now on.
You can go back anytime.
You can go to Shopkeeper Xu to collect the remaining money yourself."
Liu Qingyan nodded and didn't care.
These two people are there to lead the way. If we really encounter danger, we can't rely on them.
So, the two of them turned back alone, while Chen Yushu and his group continued to move forward.
At this time, as the group hurried on their journey, it was almost Si time, which was around nine in the morning. Logically speaking, it was the time when the sky was getting brighter.
But when we got here, the deeper we went, the darker it became.
After only an incense stick's time walking in, the surroundings seemed like dusk. I looked up at the sky, and it was all white, as if blocked by a layer of fog, and no sunlight could shine in.
At this time, Chen Yushu could no longer see the ghosts that were floating around from time to time.
Even Xiaoyin was unusually quiet. She held his hand tightly and followed him forward step by step.
"Jade Book..."
But at this moment, Qian Qian, who had been following Chen Yushu, suddenly called out to him. A look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he whispered, "Why do I feel like someone is calling me?"
"ah?
No one is talking?"
Chen Yushu was stunned and confirmed that no sound was heard just now.
Because we were here, everyone was very alert and focused, and no one spoke.
"Yes, the voice is a bit like my mother..."
Qian Qian nodded, obviously hearing it again.
But he also knew that something might be wrong, so he didn't dare to respond. He was a little scared and wanted to talk to someone.
“Eh…”
But at this moment, someone responded, as if answering something, and his walking footsteps also stopped.
Then came the second and third.
Several people responded in succession.
"Yushu, Chen Yushu..."
At this moment, Chen Yushu felt a voice ringing in his ears. The voice was seductive, as if honey was smeared in his throat, making his ears itchy and making him involuntarily have an urge to turn around and respond.
"Don't answer."
Chen Yushu let out a low cry.
“Don’t answer.
Wake up everyone who answered.
This is a ghost calling out to people, a ghost casting a spell. Once you respond, it's like being under the spell. Your mind will be bewitched and you'll be compelled to follow it, and you won't even know how you died."
At this moment, Lu Yizi in front shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, everyone's heart skipped a beat. Soon someone stepped forward and slapped the warriors who responded, waking them up.
"This is the Ghost Cave. Just by listening to the name, you can tell that it is very evil.
So, you all need to be alert and no matter what you hear, don’t agree to it.
Even if someone around us speaks, we have to confirm before responding."
Liu Hexuan, the doctor in the crowd, also spoke up. The older he got, the more he understood. Even if he had never seen anything, he had heard of many strange things.
A group of people responded one after another. Even though they heard shouts from time to time, they endured it and did not respond.
Chen Yushu was walking in the team and glanced around. The woods were dense and the weeds were overgrown, and he didn't see any ghosts. He thought that the ghosts were either hiding in the jungle or in some dark place.
Ghosts are invisible and intangible, they can transform themselves and possess people. If they really want to hide, even people with great spiritual power will find it difficult to discover their traces.
So, Chen Yushu's eyes moved and he used the technique of looking at qi.
At first glance, I saw a different scene.
Boundless yin energy almost filled the entire forest. In some places, it was shrouded in thick fog, and in some places, it seemed to be entrenched, with something faintly shaking.
“Those are probably the ghosts hiding.
Fortunately, there was no bleeding, so they should all be at the level of evil spirits."
Chen Yushu breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he also discovered that as they went deeper, the number of ghosts around them began to increase.
Moreover, the voices that came to my ears became more and more charming and moving, as if I were lying on a soft bed, surrounded by three or five women, their breasts half exposed, smiling sweetly...
Of course, this didn't affect him at all.
The stronger the mental strength, the greater the resistance to this confusing sound, not to mention that he has entered a state of great concentration. These continuous sounds are like the sound of wind blowing by, smiling seductively to a blind man.
But he was not affected, but the people around him were different.
Several people showed obvious signs of struggle on their faces, while some even had their faces flushed red, as if they wanted to respond but didn't dare.
It probably won't be long before they respond again.
really.
"I am here!"
A person standing not far from Chen Yushu couldn't help but agree.
It was Ji Xiong, a clerk in the Liu family pharmacy in Jianghuan Town.
Although he had stayed in the Liu family pharmacy for ten years and his martial arts skills had reached the level of strengthening muscles and bones, his willpower was relatively weak.
In the past, he would be easily bewitched by the Black Bear Demon and the Bear Family Poor Lady, so now it is naturally relatively easy for him to be bewitched by these evil spirits.
Then he stopped, raised his foot, and pretended to walk towards a tree nearby.
From Chen Yushu's perspective, as he walked over there, he saw a ghostly figure rushing towards him at the same rapid speed.
"snort!"
Chen Yushu snorted coldly, and with a flip of his hand, a talisman appeared. However, after thinking about it, he put it away again. Then he glanced at the ground and could vaguely see a few wisps of earth energy rising.
Earth energy is everywhere.
It’s just that some are small nodes, some are big nodes, or some are thicker, and some are very light.
Chen Yushu found the relatively thick ground energy and took one step forward, then the second, the third...
After taking six steps in succession, he immediately felt a unique aura gathering on his feet. This aura was exactly the earth's energy, and could be controlled by his mental power.
It was as if, at this moment, there were invisible earth energy surrounding him, ready for him to control.
Then, as he took the last step.
"go!"
He growled.
boom!
Countless earth energy quickly rushed towards the evil ghost.
The evil ghost that had just approached felt that it had hit a wall and its speed dropped sharply.
Just when it reacted and tried to break free.
Chen Yushu's hands flashed quickly, and he used a series of special techniques. He quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and pressed down on the ghost.
puff!
Under the burst of special power, the whole body of the evil ghost seemed to be melted by ice and snow, quickly becoming lighter, and then turned into green smoke, which dissipated with the wind.
