Chapter 1201 The Returnee's Notes 275
"clang--"
In the dim candlelight, a black claw suddenly appeared from the side, but Xie Ning blocked it with his sword.
Huifa stared at the black fingers that were only an inch away from him, and his heart began to race. The thing had almost touched him.
This is definitely not human; it looks like a corpse covered in black paint, with white bones faintly visible through its body.
"It's a black zombie."
"What?"
Xie Ning didn't hear Huifa's words clearly because the thing she was blocking was roaring while Huifa was speaking.
It sounded like bones grinding together, and was extremely grating.
The surrounding wind was still blowing fiercely. Xie Ning kicked the black thing away, then grabbed Huifa and began to move with the wind.
Huifa hadn't expected Xie Ning to be so strong. He was pulled and staggered. After he came to his senses, he also took out a few beads and threw them at the black zombie he saw.
The beads ignited instantly upon contact with the black zombie, but the zombie was clearly conscious and dodged extremely quickly, causing Huifa to miss several beads.
However, he didn't care. Instead, he calculated the positions of the missing beads, then made a hand seal and chanted an incantation, and a line of fire was formed.
They directly trapped the group inside.
Among them, Ouyang Lin has no fighting ability, which is why she sought out Xie Ning in the first place, and why Xie Ning was so anxious to rush to her side just now.
"That scared me to death."
Ouyang Lin barely managed to steady herself by holding onto Xie Ning's waist. Just now, that thing rushed over, but fortunately, Xu Jiu swung his whip away.
But the wind was so strong that she was blown down in an instant and rolled twice on the ground, of course, to avoid what was chasing her.
Xie Ning rushed over to save her while she was dodging.
“This thing is indestructible…” Yuan Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking at the black zombie that Xu Jiu had just caught with his whip.
The black whip had dark red patterns on it. Xu Jiu threw a tinder over it, and the whip instantly became a fire whip.
Just like when Huifa used the prayer beads to make them spontaneously combust, they did burn, but they melted and flowed down as a pool of black liquid, which then turned into black smoke. However, after a while, they began to adhere to the skeleton again and solidify.
"We need to find out the ghost controlling this." Snow Fox's eyes flickered. He felt that this so-called black zombie had something in common with a type of magic he had seen before.
However, now was not the time to study that. He took out a Bagua compass from his bag, which was made of transparent glass.
But the group didn't have time to pay attention to that, as more and more black zombies were crawling over, but they were all kept out by the fire line encircled by Huifa.
But this circle of flames can't last long.
Ouyang Lin was anxious; she couldn't hit him. "I'll try to calm him down."
After saying that, he sat down cross-legged.
Xie Ning stood beside Ouyang Lin, but his gaze was fixed on the coffin in the center. The yin wind had subsided considerably, and only a continuous stream of black zombies remained.
But when the yin wind was strong just now, they couldn't even stand up. Not to mention the coffin, even the weapons placed on the stone platform were not moved at all.
This is strange; there was something in the coffin, which she knew from the beginning, but it seemed to be still asleep.
Yuan Ming said this because he had also mistakenly entered another secondary tomb chamber, where a general was buried. Fortunately, he was able to sense that there was a ghost there, but the ghost seemed to be asleep, and as long as he was careful, he would not wake it.
He was alone then, but now there are six of them, so he's much bolder. He wants to either scatter the ghost or send it away.
After all, the human world is not where it belongs.
As for this... Yuan Ming looked at those black zombies and subconsciously swallowed. It was somewhat unexpected, but still within his capabilities.
If others cannot resist, he will take action.
He was used to keeping a few tricks up his sleeve, and he thought others were the same way.
Huifa threw a few more prayer beads, and the circle around them grew smaller and smaller, and the number of prayer beads was limited.
But as soon as he threw it out, a question came to mind: the bottom was surrounded, but what about the top?
As soon as I looked up, I saw wisps of white smoke rising from above. It was the incense that Xie Ning had placed next to Ouyang Lin, temporarily driving away the black zombies that were crawling up from above.
"There it is!" Snow Fox shouted, and everyone looked in the direction he pointed. They had not noticed the murals in the tomb chamber before.
Huifa reacted the fastest, throwing the bead in his hand at the snow fox after it pointed out where the ghost was hiding.
It exploded the moment it touched the mural.
A plume of black smoke rose up, and the surrounding black zombies paused in their movements. Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. "That's it! It's out!"
They couldn't see the ghost's appearance, but Xie Ning could. She was only wearing a red, straight-hemmed robe, standing beside the coffin, her clear eyes staring at the group.
Seemingly sensing that Xie Ning was watching her, she simply raised her hand slightly, and all the black zombies collapsed. The black energy rose and circled back into her body, leaving only a skeleton on the ground.
Then, with a downward press of that hand, Huifa's ring of fire was instantly extinguished.
"Why are you disturbing our peaceful sleep?" A chilling voice boomed in everyone's ears.
The group was stunned when they heard the smooth, uninterrupted sound. Yuan Ming broke out in a cold sweat. Oh no, he had bumped into the big guy.
A cold wind rose, and Xie Ning pulled Ouyang Lin behind him, staring intently into the female ghost's eyes. "Humans have their own way, and ghosts have their own path. The human and ghost realms do not interfere with each other. You should walk your own path. Why linger in the human world?"
Regardless of whether a ghost is good or evil, or whether it has committed any evil deeds, its prolonged presence will eventually disrupt the balance.
The candlelight flickered, and the female ghost merely twitched the corner of her mouth slightly before the entire tomb chamber was plunged into darkness.
Xie Ning heard a few screams and instinctively grabbed Ouyang Lin's hand, but... her hand, which had just been warm, had become extremely cold.
Her body stiffened for a moment. There was no light around her, but in an instant, a ball of indigo will-o'-the-wisp drifted in, seemingly to keep her line of sight clear.
Xie Ning took a deep breath, then slowly turned around. The female ghost, whose face was covered with black patterns, simply looked at her indifferently.
The female ghost had no intention of transforming into Ouyang Lin's appearance to deceive Xie Ning; she simply moved closer and asked, "You ask why we linger in the mortal realm, and what about you?"
The two were very close, and the chilling aura gradually seeped into Xie Ning's body.
