1937 Deterioration, weakness is not scary
Snap… Snap…
The fuse burned rapidly and was about to reach the detonation point. The Ninth Prince watched the fuse without blinking, and when the fuse just burned to the explosion point, the Ninth Prince exerted force and threw the thunder bomb into the sky not far away.
The timing was just right. There was only a loud "boom" and the thunder exploded in the sky at the right time...
After a loud bang, it seemed as if a piece of the sky above the forest was hollowed out. Sunlight poured down from the exploded spot, and floating dust danced in the light column. It was completely different from the Ghost Forest.
"Let's go over there." Feng Qingchen was overjoyed to see that the Ninth Prince had succeeded at once. He placed the remaining thunder bombs on the back of the snow wolf, and the group rushed towards the sunlight. The snow wolf ran the fastest and of course attracted the most attention of the ghost corpse.
Feng Qingchen killed several ghost corpses for the Snow Wolf, but even so, the Snow Wolf was still blocked by a ghost corpse. That ghost corpse seemed to have intelligence. It floated down from mid-air, paused for a moment, jumped in one direction, and pounced towards the Snow Wolf.
"Snow Wolf, be careful." Feng Qingchen fired a shot, and the bullet shot into the ghost corpse's body, but it had no effect at all.
Snow Wolf was particularly sensitive to these ghosts. When the ghost corpse pounced on him, Snow Wolf turned around instantly...
"Awoo..." The snow wolf jumped and opened its mouth to bite the ghost corpse, just biting the ghost corpse's legs. The ghost corpse did not explode and disappear, but kept twisting in the air, making a sharp "squeak..." sound.
"Is it really a ghost?" Xuan Shaoqi and the Eighteen Riders became more and more convinced that there might really be a ghost in this place.
"I don't know. Let's go and take a look." The Ninth Prince protected Feng Qingchen behind him, split the ghost corpses all the way, and walked towards the Snow Wolf. But before the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen could get close, the Snow Wolf dragged the ghost corpse into the sunlight. The ghost corpse screamed again, and then...
With a bang, a flash of fire appeared, and then it disappeared.
The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen once again lost the opportunity to see the real thing, and when they stood in the sunlight, the ghost corpses pounced on them and exploded one by one before they could touch them. It seemed that they were very afraid of the light.
Everyone looked at each other, becoming more and more certain that these things were Yin objects.
"Don't be afraid, ghosts are also afraid of humans." The Ninth Prince held Feng Qingchen's cold hands.
Standing in the sunshine, the chill in the ghost forest immediately disappeared, and they felt as if they were alive again.
"Yes, even ghosts have weaknesses. Things with weaknesses are not scary." Although Feng Qingchen is not very courageous, she is not afraid of ghosts like other girls.
Hospitals are places that have always had the most stories of ghosts, and hospitals do have a strong gloomy aura. Feng Qingchen has stayed in such places for a long time, so she is naturally braver than the average girl.
Feng Qingchen, a girl, said she was not afraid, so the eighteen riders, the grown men, naturally did not dare to say they were afraid. They all cheered up and suppressed the fear and anxiety that had just risen.
This is just the beginning, they haven't even reached the imperial mausoleum yet. If they are scared already, there is no need to go on the rest of the way, they might as well just scare themselves to death.
"We can't stay here forever. We have to get out of this ghost forest as soon as possible. The environment here is too harsh and we can't stay here for long." The rotten smell made Feng Qingchen feel like vomiting again.
"Use thunderbolts to clear the way." Outside the light column, the ghost corpses were still floating. It was obvious that as soon as they stepped out of the light circle, the ghost corpses would pounce on them again.
"Here you go." Xuan Shaoqi took out one and put it in the hand of the Ninth Prince.
Apart from the Ninth Prince, perhaps no one has the confidence to throw the Sky-shaking Bomb at the right time.
This was a real test of his mental endurance. If he was alone, Xuan Shaoqi would have been confident that the worst that could happen was that he would be killed in the explosion. However, there were still more than 20 people behind him, and he couldn't joke with other people's lives, especially Feng Qingchen's life.
Waiting until one second before the thunderbolt explodes before throwing it out is a great test of one's mental endurance. The Ninth Prince is not as relaxed as he appears, but...
He has no choice!
The thunderbolt was lit, but the Ninth Prince did not move. Xuan Shaoqi and the Eighteen Riders had not seen it before, but this group saw it with their own eyes and realized how difficult this moment was.
The fuse was getting shorter and shorter, and their hearts were getting tighter and tighter. If the Ninth Prince didn't throw it out in time, they would be the ones to be killed in the explosion...
So scary!
The Ninth Prince's entire attention was on the thunderbolt in his hand, without even glancing at the people beside him. When the fuse burned to the last point, the Ninth Prince did not hesitate for a moment and threw the thunderbolt out at a high speed. At the same time, an explosion sounded...
The Ninth Prince only felt a dull pain at the base of his palm, and a warm liquid flowed out from his palm.
It turned out that although the Ninth Prince threw the Thunderbolt in time, it was still a little too late. His palm was shaken open and the bright red blood stained his palm red...
But the Ninth Prince seemed not to notice, his expression remained unchanged, and he quietly hid his injured hand behind his back. He slowly clenched it, then opened it again. When his fingers regained flexibility, he motioned for everyone to move forward.
As expected, as the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen walked out of the light column, the ghost corpses floating in the air, waiting for their prey to appear, swarmed over. Fortunately, Feng Qingchen was in the light circle and shot in advance, otherwise they would have been entangled to death by these ghost corpses.
The two light circles were not far apart. When they rushed into the second light circle, the ghost corpses were afraid and avoided it again.
"We must get out before dark." Xuan Shaoqi looked up at the sun above his head. The sunlight was not as strong as at noon. If they remained in the Ghost Forest after the sun set, there would be nothing to scare these ghost corpses.
"There's no end to the ghost forest." The Ninth Prince wiped the blood off his palms when no one was paying attention, and picked up the thunder bomb again.
"Don't you know how big the Ghost Forest is?" Xuan Shaoqi was surprised: "Don't you have a map?"
The Ninth Prince gave him a cold look and sneered, "Would the previous dynasty leak the layout of the imperial mausoleum?"
"Then what's the use of your map?" Xuan Shaoqi blinked, accepting what the Ninth Uncle said.
I’m afraid even the previous emperor himself didn’t know the layout of the imperial mausoleum, so how could he have a map?
"The map only has routes." After saying this, the Ninth Prince lit the thunder bomb in his hand.
He was not the legitimate heir of the Lan family of the previous dynasty, so he could not take a shortcut. He could only use the most primitive method and pass through the imperial mausoleum step by step according to the map.
It was precisely because of this that he was worried that he would not be able to go back, and that was why he asked Wang Jinling to welcome the King of Jiangnan back to Beijing after half a year when he had not seen him return.
When the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen were trapped in the Ghost Forest, Madam Min was discussing with her subordinates how to leave the temple as soon as possible while the Ninth Prince was not in the capital...
Such a small temple cannot trap the princess of the previous dynasty!
