Chapter 425 Life Lantern Suspension

At this moment, the endless snowy mountain was pitch black, and the wind and snow stopped at some point. The entire snowy mountain was so quiet that you could almost hear a pin drop.

But at this moment, I heard a footstep sound from the darkness. The footsteps were extremely heavy, and every step seemed to take a lot of force.

My heart tightened, and I squinted my eyes to look in the direction of the sound.

However, the surroundings were too dark, and the visible range was less than five meters. There was also a layer of thick fog on the mountain. Even I couldn't see who the owner of the footsteps was.

"This sound... seems to be the sound of human footsteps." Huang Jiu frowned and whispered, "Could it be that group of people chasing me up the mountain? But why didn't the alert I set up give me any feedback? They can't bypass my alert.". 7

I ignored Huang Jiu's mumbling, but squinted my eyes and stared at the direction where the sound came from. I held the dagger tightly in my right hand and a demon-repelling talisman in my left hand.

But the next moment, my heart suddenly jumped, because there were footsteps again in the darkness.

Moreover, the footsteps were not from one person. The footsteps were extremely neat, but also unusually heavy. Every time they fell, even the snow under me trembled.

It felt as if countless people were marching in the dark with neat and uniform steps. Every step they took was like a drumbeat, echoing in the dark, but hitting my heart, which shocked me. At the same time, a sense of panic also rose to my heart.

"Dongdongdong..."

In the dark snowy mountains, the rhythmic footsteps kept ringing. The footsteps were extremely neat and strong, just like a group of well-trained soldiers marching at night.

Moreover, as the footsteps sounded from far to near, Huang Jiu beside me suddenly changed his expression, frowned deeply, bit his lips tightly, and looked painful.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked hurriedly.

Huang Jiu shook her head and said, "The alert I set was broken, and I suffered a backlash."

As Huang Jiu spoke, she stretched out her hand towards the darkness. Then, I immediately saw a fiery red light spot flying towards her quickly. In the blink of an eye, it flew in front of her and was caught in her hand.

The light spot was too fast and very small. I couldn't see what it was at all. I just heard the sound of flapping wings vaguely, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised.

At this moment, the temperature in the snow mountain has dropped to 25 or 26 degrees. In such a low temperature, how can such a small creature survive?

What on earth is that thing?

Although I was curious, I didn't ask too much. After all, every inheritance has its own secrets.

And Huang Jiu didn't mean to tell me. If I asked rashly, it would not be in line with the rules of the world.

The footsteps were still coming out in a neat and powerful manner. The next moment, I heard a "whoosh" and a figure suddenly broke through the thick fog and appeared in my sight.

However, when I saw the person's appearance clearly, my eyes widened immediately, and my heart was instantly raised to my throat. Huang Jiu beside me shuddered all over and shrank back subconsciously.

It's not that the two of us are timid, but the "person" in front of us is too scary.

No, it is no longer a person, but a... strange object that still maintains a human form.

It was seen that it was wearing armor and holding a spear. I don't know what era the armor is from. It has long been rusty and some parts have even rotted away.

Its body was even more terrifying. Its legs were completely bare, with only a little flesh and blood still hanging on its thigh bones. Its belly was rotten, revealing its ribs. The ribs were pitch black, and emitted a strange glow in the dark.

The most terrifying thing was its face.

Although its head was still intact, its entire face had shriveled up on its jawbone, and it looked no different from a skull. Its horrible gums were exposed in the air. I even saw that its tongue, which was rotten to the point of being only half-rotten, was constantly moving around in its mouth. Oh

my God!

Even I was so frightened that my scalp went numb and my skin tightened.

I thought I had seen a lot of storms, but I was still frightened by this weird thing. Huang Jiu beside me was pale, with fear in his eyes.

"What on earth is this?" Huang Jiu lowered his voice and said with a slight tremor: "Is it... a ghost soldier?"

"Huh!" I didn't respond to Huang Jiu, but made a gesture to her to keep quiet, but it was too late.

I saw that the skeleton soldier turned his head suddenly as if he smelled something, staring at the direction of me and Huang Jiu with a pair of bloodshot eyes.

This scene immediately frightened me to death, and my heart almost jumped out of my throat. Huang Jiu beside me even screamed subconsciously, but then she bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from making any sound.

"It found us." I whispered.

"What should we do?" Huang Jiu held the mountaineering pick in his hand and asked, "Fight it?"

"No." I shook my head.

Judging from the previous footsteps, this skeleton soldier should only be exploring the way, and there should be a large force behind him.

Once we are completely exposed or provoke this thing, what awaits us next must be the endless revenge and pursuit of the ghost soldiers.

At this time, the ghost soldier had already started walking towards us with unclear sounds. I frowned, took a deep breath, and whispered a spell, then shouted: "Soul lamp, extinguish!"

As I shouted, I blew hard at Huang Jiu's shoulders.

There was a "whoosh", and then, the soul lamp and spirit lamp on Huang Jiu's shoulders were blown out by me instantly.

Huang Jiu shuddered subconsciously, but there was a look of enlightenment in her eyes, and she said: "I'll help you."

After that, she also muttered something, and then tapped my shoulders lightly, and in an instant, the soul lamp and spirit lamp on my shoulders also went out one after another.

When the soul lamp and the spirit lamp go out, we can only rely on the life lamp to survive, so we will instinctively feel cold. If these two lamps cannot be lit for a long time, then our soul will leave the body. Without the guidance of the two lamps, it will be difficult for the soul to return.

However, although extinguishing the soul lamp and the spirit lamp is dangerous, it can also prevent this ghost soldier from seeing us.

This ghost soldier has long lost his sight. The reason why he found us is that he smelled the human scent on us, which is to say, the yang energy. Once the two lamps are extinguished, the human scent on us will disappear instantly, so he can't see us.

Sure enough!

After Huang Jiu and I extinguished the soul lamp and the spirit lamp, the ghost soldier immediately stopped and looked around with a pair of blood-red eyes. His nose, which was already rotten and only half of it was left, was even more trembling, but in the end, he didn't smell anything.

He made a slightly irritable sound, then turned around and growled in the direction behind him.

As it growled, the heavy footsteps sounded again.

My heart sank immediately after hearing the footsteps.

Because I knew that the real ghost army was about to arrive.
