Gu Chen turned his head and looked.

I saw an old man walking towards here with a cane.

In fact, he noticed the other person when he came over.

But I didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to talk to me.

The borrowing system checked three times.

The old man in front of me really has no strength at all and is not a cultivator.

"yes."

Gu Chen spoke up, pointed at the sign, and asked:

"Excuse me, old man, why is there this sign here?"

The old man seemed to be tired from walking, so he sat down, took a breath, and waved his hand, saying:

“I put this sign there.”

"There is great danger ahead. I see you are still young, so you must not go there."

Gu Chen's expression changed slightly, and he asked:

"Old man, can you tell me more about this?"

The old man coughed a few times and then told Gu Chen the details of the situation.

Lu Changzhi listened quietly from a distance.

It turned out that the direction the sign pointed to was a notorious place.

According to the locals nearby, that area is haunted.

As for what exactly is causing the trouble, no one knows.

All we know is that those who entered it never came out again.

There is another rumor that there is a great treasure here, and whoever obtains the treasure can become a noble practitioner.

Danger and opportunity always have great appeal to people.

The old man's grandson believed the latter.

Once he left, he never came back.

His parents loved their son so much that they went in despite the danger, but they never heard from him again.

The old man wanted to go in, but he changed his mind in the end.

I have suffered so much, if I die, it will be in vain.

It is better to stay and give some reminders, and encourage as many people as possible.

After listening to what the old man said, Gu Chen's expression became complicated.

"Thank you for your reminder, old man. I have something here..."

Gu Chen opened his mouth and wanted to give something to the old man.

The old man waved his hand to refuse first:

"I'm already this age, I don't need anything anymore."

"You are still young. Go somewhere else. Don't take risks like my grandson did."

As he spoke, the old man stood up and walked towards the thatched hut not far away.

Gu Chen's expression was a little complicated.

He looked in the direction of the sign for a moment.

Finally, he set off in another direction.

Although the direction is the same, it is not necessarily in the same place.

After walking like this for a while, Gu Chen's expression suddenly froze.

"No, there is a problem."

After walking for such a long time, I didn’t even see a single monster!

Release your mind and make judgments based on the information in the treasure map and the surrounding scenery.

Soon, his brows wrinkled slightly.

Although we changed direction, we still seemed to be on the same path.

At this moment, a spear appeared in Gu Chen's right hand.

At the same time, the other hand was holding several talismans.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen continued walking forward.

Not long after, another similar sign came into view.

"Could it be that this is really the place pointed out by the treasure map?"

Gu Chen did not rush in, but set up a formation and started thinking.

Although dangers and opportunities coexist.

But the prerequisite is to know enough.

The treasure map does not explain what treasure is here.

The specific situation of the danger can only be speculated from what the old man said.

But to ordinary people, haunting is itself ambiguous.

I'm alone now.

If there really is a powerful danger and I am trapped in it, I am afraid...

After careful consideration, Gu Chen made up his mind.

Change direction and continue to confirm.

In the sky, Lu Changzhi looked at Gu Chen who turned around and nodded with satisfaction.

This approach is relatively safe.

In fact, at this moment, he was also somewhat curious.

I thought it was just a simple treasure hunt.

I didn't expect that after I came here, I found that there might be a possibility of overlapping with a dangerous area.

At this moment, Lu Changzhi focused his mind and explored the distant area.

"Um?"

Soon, his expression changed slightly.

In the area ahead, he felt some rather unique power fluctuations.

It's just not on the ground, but beneath the ground.

"System, detect current range, filter condition: living people."

The voice fell, and then the system became busy.

Soon, the information about Gu Chen and the old man appeared in front of Lu Changzhi.

"No one here?"

Lu Changzhi groaned for a moment, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Is it really a ghost?"

Practitioners who have reached a certain level of practice can make their souls leave their bodies and exist alone in the world.

This is how Lu Changzhi feels about the fluctuations in the area right now.

With a thought, the Qiankun Tower appeared in his hand, and Lu Changzhi continued to pay attention to Gu Chen.

"It looks like it is indeed the area ahead."

After walking for a while, Gu Chen stopped.

The area ahead doesn't seem particularly special to the naked eye.

However, if you use your spiritual sense to investigate, you can sense some rather strange fluctuations.

brush.

With a flash of light, Gu Chen took out the flying boat again.

Since the road on the ground is blocked, let's observe from above.

And at this moment.

There was a sudden wave in the area ahead.

In an instant, it seemed as if countless mournful voices rose up into the sky, extremely harsh, and filled with thick resentment, rushing straight into the mind.

At the same time, the branches and leaves around suddenly swayed without wind, and the scene was extremely strange.

To the naked eye, that's it.

If one probes with divine sense, one will find that countless gray lights are bursting out from under the ground and rushing towards Gu Chen.

"Soul body?"

Gu Chen's eyes fixed.

No wonder I couldn't get anything from the system exploration just now.

At that moment, Gu Chen did not hesitate at all and decisively urged the flying boat to rise.

At the same time.

Brush, brush, brush.

Several talismans flew out.

In an instant, the talisman unfolded, and spiritual power gathered madly, condensing into a powerful talisman attack method.

Where the attack was launched, all the souls rushing towards it were affected.

Seeing this scene, Gu Chen's eyes fixed.

The next moment, he stood on the flying boat, holding a spear, sweeping in all directions.

Boom!

The astonishing gun intent exploded, wrapped in spiritual power, and bombarded the many souls that were rushing towards him.

Bang bang bang!

Wherever it swept past, souls and bodies exploded.

"It seems that my own cognition also needs to be updated from time to time."

On the Void Shuttle, Lu Changzhi murmured softly.

In the previous life, ghosts only existed in various stories, and the powers of ghosts were beyond the control of ordinary people.

Today, things are different after all.

Although those rushing out now are souls, they are actually not that strong.

With his current strength, he can destroy it with just a thought.

"However, logically speaking, a soul of this level should not be able to survive on its own."

"unless......"

Lu Zhangzhi murmured, his eyes left Gu Chen, and he looked back at the area in front of him, a hint of interest in his eyes:

"Something around here has changed this situation."
