But by the time you get close enough to see clearly, it's too late; it's obviously a scam.
At this moment, the melody on the steps transformed into gusts of eerie wind, as if countless vengeful ghosts were wailing.
The two suddenly felt something moving under their feet. Looking down, they saw that the steps were not steps at all, but were made of countless skulls!
There was originally a row of brazier stands on each side of the steps. Pei Mianman had previously lit them with black flames. Now, the normally burning flames trembled and their color changed to a chilling bluish-green.
"Holy crap, what's going on here!" Zuan swallowed hard.
As soon as he finished speaking, many transparent ghosts suddenly emerged from the thickened fog around them, howling and looking extremely ferocious.
"A ghost?" As a transmigrator with a scientific education, the scene before him was quite subversive to his common sense.
Pei Mianman quickly explained, "Under certain special conditions, the souls of the deceased do not perish and can form such evil spirits. Some ancient texts refer to them collectively as the Underworld Clan, but they are generally very rare..."
As she was explaining, the flickering ghosts, like sharks smelling blood, swarmed towards the two of them, but most of them rushed towards the giant Taotie, clearly drawn to its larger size.
Seeing this, the Taotie turned and ran, but in its pursuit of Zu'an and the other two, it unknowingly ended up on the steps. Although it didn't walk as far as the two of them, it still stepped on a few steps.
The surrounding evil spirits swarmed forward and quickly engulfed its enormous body.
The Taotie roared repeatedly, its sharp claws waving everywhere, its blood-red maw tearing and biting in all directions, and even its sharp tail twitching in all directions.
Unfortunately, those evil spirits were all invisible, and its physical attacks passed right through their bodies, having no effect whatsoever.
"Waaaaah!"
At first, the giant Taotie roared angrily, but now its voice sounded more mournful and wailing.
Not long after, its enormous body crashed to the ground, and in some places, the flesh and blood disappeared, revealing the stark white bones.
At this rate, it won't be long before its entire body is devoured by those evil spirits.
Zuan and Pei Mianman had no time to be distracted at this moment, because a small group of evil spirits also rushed towards them.

That should be one chapter today. Updates have been a bit inconsistent these past few days, please forgive me. I'll make up for it later.
