Chapter 97: Two Female Ghosts Guiding the Way
The green figure appeared again, so fast that it was difficult to see clearly.
Ji Lingche suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if someone was blowing air on him.
She turned her head sharply and came face to face with a pale face.
Her pupils suddenly shrank, and she moved with lightning speed, slapping the man's heart with her palm!
But the palm strike missed.
The face in front of her disappeared in an instant.
Ji Lingche was stunned, thinking he was hallucinating. He could only say, "Just now... there was someone here, right?"
Qu Wuji gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and whispered, "I saw it too."
She stood there and glanced around, but in just a moment, the thing disappeared without a trace.
The face I had just seen looked like a woman. Though delicate, her complexion was pale, her pupils dilated, and the black irises almost completely covered her eyes. Her long hair was disheveled, and her grayish-white clothing swayed in the chilly wind. She looked anything but alive.
Is it a ghost?
In the heart of the abyss, how could this thing suddenly appear...
Ji Lingche narrowed his eyes, spread out his palms, and a white light butterfly rose from his palms.
The butterfly circled in the air for a while, then left a gorgeous streak of white light and flew off into the distance, pointing a path.
She and Qu Wuji exchanged a glance, then followed the butterfly.
The two of them chased the light butterfly and ran wildly in one direction.
The wind was blowing coldly, and the light around him was getting darker and darker. Ji Lingche felt like he was in a cave, with the cold penetrating his bones.
She was filled with fear and suspicion, always feeling that something was not right, and the feeling of uneasiness grew stronger and stronger.
She had come to the abyss before, just like going home, but she had never been to a place like this.
As she ran, she paid attention to her surroundings and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
The cold wind kept blowing, and the environment became more and more gloomy, with endless chill, which was very different from the scorching environment of the Abyss of Eternal Flames in the past. The two couldn't help but feel that they might no longer be in the abyss.
Qu Wuji whispered, "We may be getting further and further away from the Demon Lord."
Ji Lingche was silent for a long time, and only said: "Not necessarily—"
She was about to say something else when the two of them suddenly stopped in their tracks. An evil pressure rose up, and the light butterfly that was leading the way was torn apart and turned into white smoke and drifted away.
Suddenly, a burst of fire shot up into the sky, a red light appeared, and then a heart-wrenching howl echoed in the air.
Qu Wuji raised his sleeve to cover her, and with his other hand, he tightly grasped her wrist, protecting her behind him, and whispered, "Be careful!"
After sparks flew, I saw something rolling in the fire not far away. It looked like it was in great pain and was howling continuously.
Ji Lingche was stunned and stared at the fire.
Although the person in the fire was tumbling, his appearance was not damaged at all.
She frowned and murmured, "...Ninefold True Fire?"
This kind of fire only burns the living soul without damaging the appearance. Although the death is peaceful, the process is extremely painful.
But why is there nine layers of fire in the abyss? !
Who is that person rolling in the fire?
The two watched this scene silently, and a chilling feeling rose in their hearts.
Sparks were crackling and flying everywhere, burning fiercely, illuminating the darkness, as if a firework display had been set off.
The man who was burned by the fire kept rolling and squirming, wailing, but the sound was very strange. It was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman, and it was impossible to hear what he was saying.
Listening carefully, the man's voice was a bit animalistic. He kept howling, but it sounded a bit like the scream of some dying animal.
So, what is burning in the fire?
Is it really burning people?
The sacrificial spirit calmed down his mind and slowly walked towards the fire pit, wanting to see the appearance of the person in the fire.
But suddenly, she stopped and felt a chill on her back again!
She glanced to the side and saw the pale face again.
It’s the face just now.
The woman, with her hair loose, appeared beside her silently like a ghost, and exhaled a long breath of cold air.
Ji Lingche couldn't help but shudder. She suppressed the killing intent in her hand and stared coldly at the inhuman thing opposite her.
Sure enough, the woman did not move, but just stared at her coldly.
The Shatuan Sword kept ringing, Qu Wuji's fierce spiritual pressure spread out, and the sword spirit gathered its strength to the extreme, as if it was going to kill this strange woman in the next moment.
Suddenly, the woman slowly raised her hand, pointed in the direction the two men came from, and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.
But she didn't make any sound in the end.
When the woman opened her mouth, Ji Lingche could clearly see that there was no tongue in her dark mouth.
Ji Lingche was stunned for a moment, not understanding what she meant, and looked at her suspiciously.
The woman suddenly stretched out her hand, and her cold hand slowly reached out to Ji Lingche's wrist. Qu Wuji was startled and whispered, "Alan!"
Ji Lingche lowered his eyes, staring at the pale hand reaching out to him, without moving, and only said: "It's okay..."
In the end, the woman's cold hand grasped Ji Lingche's wrist, but nothing happened.
Ji Lingche secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Everything that happened in the abyss today was so bizarre that it was beyond imagination.
A gloomy and unfamiliar environment, a woman of unknown origin, a nameless raging fire, and writhing screams...
The woman's dilated pupils were like a whirlpool, sucking people in. Ji Lingche couldn't help feeling dizzy when he looked at her face, and suddenly felt like vomiting.
Qu Wuji noticed something strange and exclaimed, "Ji Lingche!"
Ji Lingche shook his head suddenly and came to his senses. A bone-chilling chill ran up from his wrist. He saw the woman's bloodless hand resting on his wrist.
Suddenly, the woman clenched her hands tightly and pulled her, causing Ji Lingche to stagger. Then, the woman pushed her hard.
Ji Lingche staggered a few steps, and Qu Wuji hurriedly embraced her.
Ji Lingche was completely confused. He looked at the woman in surprise and murmured, "What kind of madness is this..."
I saw the crazy woman standing in the darkness, her pale face and emaciated body made her look like a female ghost.
She stood in front of the two of them, opened her arms, blocked their way, and then raised her hand again, pointing behind them -
Pointing to the way the two came.
Ji Lingche paused for a moment, suddenly understood something, and looked at her in disbelief.
Qu Wuji also understood what this woman meant——
It turned out that she wanted the two of them to return the same way they came from and go back to the same place.
The first time she appeared, she was to stop the two from going any further, but she was frightened by Ji Lingche's palm and hid herself.
At this moment, the woman saw that Ji Lingche and the other two were about to see the object burned by the flames, and immediately appeared again, risking her own life to stop them...
Ji Lingche couldn't help but frown, glanced at Qu Wuji, and said, "Shall we go?"
This strange woman blocked their way and asked them to go back home. Did they want to listen to this person?
Qu Wu Ji didn't say anything and held her tighter.
She felt as if he froze for a moment. After a long while, she heard him whisper, "Let's go."
"I know who this woman is—"
At this moment, the thing that was burning and crackling not far away suddenly let out a sharper howl, and large sparks flew up, illuminating the darkness!
Ji Lingche suddenly stopped, and his steps to leave stopped abruptly.
The woman was seen with her back to the fire, the red light shining brightly on her back, but her face was gloomy and dark.
Then, two more colors appeared on her dim face...
Two lines of blood and tears flowed from the woman's dilated pupils, and blood beads rolled down her cheeks and dripped onto the ground.
Ji Lingche's pupils suddenly shrank, and the firelight illuminated her eyes——
The woman who showed them the way was burning all over.
