Chapter 54: Jinjiang Solo



[Host!!!] The system saw that Yi Yuan was injured just when it was away for a short while, and was so scared that it didn't even bother to speak in Taobao dialect. It asked anxiously: [Host, are you okay?]

Yi Yuan glanced at his arm, which was gradually turning black. His expression did not change at all. He still looked as steady as a mountain. However, in his heart...

[Do you... think I'm okay?] Ihara's voice was a little vague, [Am I poisoned? Am I dying? Wait, by the way... will this shell of mine die?]

As Ihara thought about it, his thoughts turned to whether Ihara's body would die and what exactly his body was made of.

After all, the system had never shown Xiang Yan the process of making the two shells of Yiyuan and Bai Jing. Usually, Xiang Yan would set the data and the system would just press a button to complete the process.

[What?] The system was trying to find an antidote in the mall, but when it came to its senses, it heard its host's sudden confusion. However, it still explained seriously: [Your body is a ghost messenger from hell, and you have natural immunity to attacks from ghosts...]

If ghost messengers can be harmed by ghosts at will just like ordinary people, then why would hell specially look for and train ghost messengers? Can't they just find humans directly?

Therefore, as ghost messengers in hell who are responsible for ghost events and guide ghosts, they all have an ability, an ability that makes them immune to most attacks from ghosts.

Ordinary ghosts have little ability to fight back when they encounter a ghost catcher. Except for those powerful evil ghosts, most ordinary ghosts can only be caught when they encounter a ghost catcher.

[……] As the system spoke, it stopped looking for medicine and turned to look at Ihara’s injured arm.

"..." After hearing what the system said, Ihara also looked at his arm.

I saw that the arm that was gradually turning darker gradually turned back. The continuously spreading black color quickly retreated as if it had encountered something terrifying. The arm that was originally covered with black spots returned to its original healthy skin color.

“…”

[……]

The system and Ihara stared at Ihara's hand in silence for a while, and then Ihara came back to his senses first.

Yi Yuan raised his head and glanced at the top of a locust tree not far away. After determining the location of Xiang Yan and the others, he pulled Zhu Wenwen with the ghost-binding chain and walked over there with a serious and indifferent expression.

Zhu Wenwen still had a dazed look on her face, and didn't seem to react at all.

For safety reasons, Yi Yuan did not loosen the ghost-binding chain that bound Zhu Wenwen, but kept pulling her along with the ghost-binding chain.

The figures of Yi Yuan and Zhu Wenwen gradually disappeared in the locust tree forest.

Lin Guizi, who had been secretly observing Xiang Yanyiyuan and the others, was so frightened by what had just happened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

The vines and poisonous arrows in the locust tree forest were all designed by them to test the strength of the ghost catcher.

Originally this was just a small test, and Lin Gui didn't expect Ihara to be injured. When he saw that Ihara was actually injured by a small poisonous arrow, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised and contemptuous.

When Lin Gui saw that Ihara's expression remained unchanged and he looked at his injured hand calmly, although he still felt a little contemptuous in his heart, he still admired Ihara's calmness a little.

Until he saw Yi Yuan looking straight at the top of the locust tree...

When Lin Gui saw Ihara easily solve the problem of the poison arrow, he had only a feeling of expectation in his heart, after all, he was the lord from hell.

But the fact that Ihara was looking at the locust tree was not within his scope of thought.

Because...the mirror that Lin Gui and Qi Qi used to observe Ihara and the others was through that locust tree as a medium!

When Yi Yuan looked up at the top of the locust tree, his cold and sharp gaze seemed to penetrate the mirror and pierce directly at Lin Gui and Qi Qi.

That look clearly told Lin Gui and the others:

[I see you!]

After seeing Ihara's fierce gaze, Lin Gui was so scared that he quickly closed the mirror, then covered his chest and took a deep breath, and even a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Qi Qi, who was standing next to Lin Gui, was also startled by Yi Yuan's sudden gaze, but he did not show it as obviously as Lin Gui.

After a slight pause, Qi Qi glanced at Lin Gui's embarrassed look as he closed the mirror, then calmly looked away, his eyes looking towards the open space not far away, his expression a little dazed.

[Yi Yuan... Xiang Yan...] Qi Qi slowly called Xiang Yan and the others' names in his heart. After a while, the corners of his mouth slowly raised a tiny, not very obvious arc, [This is really... too interesting!]

"???" Lin Gui, who had recovered a little, looked up and saw the ambiguous smile on Qi Qi's lips. Although he didn't know what Qi Qi was thinking, Lin Gui had a hunch that it was better not to disturb him at this time.

After thinking for two seconds, Lin Gui carefully turned around and raised his legs to leave.

result……

"Lin Gui, where are you going?" Qi Qi's gentle words came at the moment Lin Gui raised his leg.

“…” Although Qi Qi’s tone was good, Lin Gui, who had always felt that there was danger around him, quickly turned around with a faint smile on his face, “Haha, I was just taking a walk, not… not going anywhere.”

Although Qi Qi didn't do anything, Lin Gui felt that there seemed to be something different about him, so he didn't dare to yell at Qi Qi like before.

"The task assigned by the adults has not been completed yet, so you'd better not leave casually." Qi Qi's words were in a persuasive tone, but Lin Gui felt a sense of threat from them. He did not dare to refute, so he could only nod quickly and then stand back to his original position.

Seeing Lin Gui standing back, Qi Qi didn't care about the change in Lin Gui's attitude towards him. He reached out and opened the mirror that Lin Gui had closed before, and began to observe Xiang Yan and the others' movements again.

On the other side, Ihara had no idea that his casual glance had scared Lin Gui and Qi Qi, who had been observing them behind the scenes, and also aroused their vigilance.

He took Zhu Wenwen and walked towards Xiang Yan. After walking for a while, Yi Yuan found that Zhu Wenwen suddenly struggled in one direction.

While holding Zhu Wenwen steady, Yi Yuan looked in the direction where Zhu Wenwen was struggling.

Because the trees in the locust tree forest were too dense and lush, and there was interference from the white fog, Ihara could not see anything special there.

He could only vaguely see that there seemed to be a well next to the locust tree?

Just as Yi Yuan frowned and pulled Zhu Wenwen, Xiang Yan and Bai Jing also knew about Zhu Wenwen's situation consciously.

The three of them exchanged ideas and nodded slightly at the same time.

Xiang Yan told Yi Yuan not to go any further and just wait there, while he and Bai Jing rushed over.

They had been wandering around aimlessly since they entered the locust tree forest and had not obtained any information about the incident.

Now that there is an unknown mastermind watching from behind, Xiang Yan and his team must find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible and then find a way out.

otherwise……

Thinking of Zhu Wenwen who was used as bait, and then thinking of what happened after they came in, Xiang Yan, Bai Jing and Yi Yuan all felt a sense of urgency, as if something bad would happen if they didn't get out quickly.

After a while, Bai Jing brought Xiang Yan to where Yi Yuan was.

"Ihara, are you okay?" Xiang Yan asked with concern as soon as he saw Ihara holding Zhu Wenwen.

"I'm fine." Yi Yuan glanced at Xiang Yan, and after finding that he was not injured, he nodded with a slightly warmer expression, "How about you? Are you okay?"

"We're fine." Hearing Yi Yuan's greeting, Bai Jing replied before Xiang Yan, and then asked: "How are you doing? What have you found?"

"..." Yi Yuan glanced at Bai Jing silently, without saying anything about his behavior. He raised his hand and pointed to the well that could be vaguely seen under the locust tree not far away, "Zhu Wenwen has always wanted to go there."

"Huh?" Xiang Yan and Bai Jing looked up in the direction of Yi Yuan's finger, and sure enough, they saw a well there.
