Chapter 1195 The Returnee's Notes 269
"what to do?"
Xu Jiu had just stopped and was asking what to do when she pulled out a black whip with dark patterns that faintly glowed red.
Ouyang Lin also took out her xun (a type of ancient Chinese wind instrument). A cold wind came from behind her, so she tapped it lightly. "Xiao Ning, please save them."
She and Xu Jiu might be able to deal with the sudden ghost, but they probably wouldn't be able to support Yuan Ming and the others.
The stray arrows above became increasingly dense, and their landing points were constantly changing. Snow Fox didn't dodge well and, like Yuan Ming, was grazed by an arrow, though he was injured in the thigh.
Because he wasn't leaning against the coffin, Yuan Ming was much more agile.
They could pass through this mechanism to reach the entrance to the tomb where Xie Ning and the others were, as the distance wasn't long, though it was somewhat difficult under the arrows.
The constant ringing of the bells added to the intense sense of urgency, making their breathing rapid.
As soon as Ouyang Lin finished speaking, Xie Ning looked up at the mechanism above. If she had time, she could try to solve it, but right now, time was what she lacked most.
Saving lives is the priority.
The formation she and the snow fox had set up was inside, but now it's ruined because of this suddenly appearing mechanism.
Therefore, the only option is to confront that ghost directly.
Xie Ning stretched out his hand, palm up, and with his other hand he made a hand seal and cast a spell, and the red rope wrapped around his finger shot out rapidly.
Xu Jiu had just unfurled an arrow for the nearest Huifa when he looked up and saw Xie Ning using a thin red rope to wrap around an arrow that was aimed at Yuan Ming. The arrow burst into flames the next instant.
This is a little trick Xie Ning came up with, combining fire control techniques with the pulling silk technique to inflict greater damage on ghosts. Since the red rope is a physical object, it also has physical attack capabilities.
After several attempts, Snow Fox and Yuan Ming also ran over in a disheveled state.
Just then, a cold wind suddenly rose behind them, and blue will-o'-the-wisps suddenly appeared in the originally silent and dark tomb passage.
Sometimes this thing can be explained scientifically, but other times it's not a phenomenon, but a real will-o'-the-wisp.
The coffin that Yuan Ming had pried open started to move, as if the thing inside was struggling to get out.
"This place is not safe to stay for long." Yuan Ming's face was dark. Although he had expected it, he was still very upset that something had actually happened.
"Huifa!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huifa waved his hand, and several Buddhist beads fell to the ground in a regular pattern. As long as the thing in the coffin came out and passed by this place, it would definitely be blown up.
Xu Jiu glanced at the deep passageway ahead and frowned to herself, "What should we do now? There seems to be something else ahead."
Ouyang Lin was unable to speak. Xie Ning listened carefully to the melody of Ouyang Lin's music. It was a guiding tune. Then he shook his head and said, "There is nothing ahead. We just need to deal with those will-o'-the-wisps and we can proceed smoothly. Just follow behind Wang Er."
This Wang Er refers to Ouyang Lin.
The others didn't know much, but they still chose to believe. Yuan Ming stood behind Ouyang Lin and whispered, "Leave the will-o'-the-wisp to me."
Unlike ordinary will-o'-the-wisps, these were much colder, floating eerily in mid-air and approaching people.
Yuan Ming took out a lamp from his bag. As soon as the lamp was lit, a warm aura spread out, directly dispelling the chill.
As they moved forward, the will-o'-the-wisps ahead gradually disappeared, while the commotion behind them grew louder.
Xie Ning glanced back and saw that only two fallen flashlights emitted a little light in the dimly lit room, but that was enough for her to see what was crawling out of the coffin.
