The smallest eyes were as big as basins. In the black fog, they looked like blood-red lanterns hanging around, cold and gloomy.
What’s going on? What kind of creatures are these? Why are they all looking at him?
There were also many pairs of eyes, some bigger than millstones, all scarlet, cold and intimidating, looking down at him.
There were also eyes as big as mountain tops, cold and ruthless, in the black fog in the distance.
Wang Xuan was horrified. Who was he dreaming about? He was actually surrounded by a group of terrifying eyes. They were definitely not good people and were ready to kill him at any time.
Now, he is in the land of death, in the blue sea. What kind of monsters are these?
With a whoosh, Wang Xuan's spirit returned to his body. He quickly opened his eyes, still feeling frightened.
"How is it? Does it feel novel?" Old Chen asked, but he was a little surprised in his heart. This kid has just stepped into the extraordinary realm, but he can achieve this?
Wang Xuan said hurriedly, "It's so strange that it's creepy! Go and have a look. It's dark everywhere, there's a thick fog on the sea, and there are scarlet eyes everywhere. I don't know what kind of monster it is!"
Xu Fu glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense. The dead land is dead and silent for eternity. How could there be so many creatures watching you?"
"Really, I was indeed being watched. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself! It's strange, why can't the spirit be seen in the physical body?" Wang Xuan was suspicious.
"Old Chen, try it!" Wang Xuan urged. He refused to believe that he was wrong.
Old Chen was suspicious. If there really were such creatures, they should be able to be seen in the world.
Then, his spirit left his body. It was dark all around, fog covered the sea, there was no moonlight, and he felt a biting cold. There seemed to be something around him, but he didn't see it.
Lao Chen felt something was wrong and decisively escaped back into his physical body.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "I didn't see those eyes, but I felt like there was something really around me, and it was freezing cold."
The ferryman was stunned. He had been here for so many years and had not seen anything. Were these two people special? They could discover unusual "landscapes".
"I've lived here for a long time and never seen any evil happening. How come something bad happened as soon as you arrived?" Xu Fu was a great alchemist and had seen all kinds of things. He quickly concluded that the two men were not lying.
He had never seen that kind of thing, but he knew that it did exist. He just didn't expect that there was a large nest of them in the dead, accompanying him every day!
"What is that, senior?" asked Lao Chen.
"Creepy!" said the ferryman seriously, and then a ray of light left his body from his straw raincoat and disappeared into the void. His remaining spirit went to investigate.
Like Lao Chen, he felt something, but couldn't see anything!
When the ferryman returned, a blurry face appeared from his straw raincoat, which looked quite ugly. He asked Wang Xuan how many pairs of eyes he had found.
"They are so densely packed that I can't count them. From near to far, it feels like sparks connected into one piece, everywhere. The smallest eyes are like red lanterns, and the largest are bigger than the top of a mountain!"
Wang Xuan was describing it there, and this was indeed what he saw.
"Senior, what is a creepy spirit?" asked Old Chen.
"A terrifying monster that is almost nonexistent and can neither be seen nor touched by practitioners." The ferryman's vague face looked very unhappy.
"How is it possible that even the practitioners can't see it?" Old Chen didn't believe it.
"On ordinary days, you can't see it or touch it, so naturally you have no way of understanding it," said the ferryman.
Then he asked, "Can ordinary people see ghosts? Ghosts are to humans as ghosts are to practitioners. The two groups have a similar relationship."
Old Chen said: "You can't see it, because there are no ghosts. At most, it's just a spirit that has left the body and stayed in the world for a short time, and it will disappear quickly."
The ferryman nodded and said, "But for practitioners, creepy spirits do exist, but only very few special practitioners can see them."
He looked at Wang Xuan and said, "Your spiritual body is special. It is one of the very few individuals who can see ghosts."
Wang Xuan was in a trance. There actually was such a monster as the Creepy Spirit. He had never heard of it before. It was truly unbelievable.
"Normally, even for a special practitioner, it is difficult to see one or two creepy spirits even if you travel throughout the vast territory. And you actually saw a large group of them here?"
At this point, the ferryman became uneasy again and felt quite frightened. It was rumored that the monsters in the creepy spirits ate earth immortals and also ate powerful immortals at the feathered level.
After hearing what he said, Wang Xuan and Lao Chen wanted to leave the Death Land immediately. This place was too evil, with swarms of monsters that they had never heard of. It was definitely not a good place.
"Generally speaking, if you can't see them and they don't come into contact with each other, nothing will happen," said the ferryman.
However, he still felt uncomfortable. It would have been fine if he didn't know, but now he knew clearly that there were so many creepy creatures all around him. Who could stand it?
"I hope that the cross-domain war will start immediately, so that I will have a reason to leave. It will be an act of force majeure, and I can get rid of the shackles of the Old Testament and no longer stay in the land of the dead!" said the ferryman.
At this moment, Wang Xuan and Lao Chen were looking forward to reaching the shore as soon as possible. The creepy ghosts sounded strange, as they hardly ever appeared on normal days, but there was a disaster here.
"Senior, are you going to return my sun gold to me?" Wang Xuan asked.
"I plan to use the sun gold to refine some small items and bring them to the cross-domain war. I can give some to Xiao Chen."
After hearing this, what else could Wang Xuan say? He reluctantly gave it up and only took the spear.
"Could it be that the land of the dead is the nest of ghosts in the world?" The ferryman felt creepy. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He even wanted to run away.
"How can there be a monster like the Creepy Spirit? I don't understand." Old Chen shook his head.
"There are too many things in this world that you don't understand." The ferryman sighed, and added: "There are some phenomena that not only you, but even the immortals don't understand."
A thick fog rose over the blue sea, making the sea seem even quieter and more eerie.
"Could it be that the mysterious and invisible ghost is about to enter the human world?" Old Chen felt scared.
Finally, the boat docked.
"Senior, take care!" As soon as the bamboo boat reached the shore, Wang Xuan and Lao Chen ran away and disappeared in the blink of an eye. They never wanted to come back to this damn place again!
The ferryman was stunned. This time he really didn't want to chase them away. He even wanted to chat with them and stay for a while. However, the two men didn't give him a chance to stay and ran away as if they were running for their lives.
Outside the Land of Death, several people from Yuhua Star and the golden mastiff have not left and are still searching.
They did not believe that the two had escaped into the Deadlands, and thought they were just hiding in the misty fringe area outside the Jedi.
"Even if we enter the Land of the Dead and survive, I will kill you!" The mastiff was mentally shaken and extremely cold.
It told the people from Yuhua Star that it had used a psychic bird of prey to send a message to another law enforcer, asking it to come and help kill the two "violating" humans here.
"Senior, is this okay? We are actually the ones who breached the contract more seriously, while those two are fine." The people from Yuhua Star hesitated, fearing that another law enforcer would target them.
"It's my good friend. It doesn't matter. Whether it's against the rules or not is up to us!" said the mastiff indifferently.
Thanks: book friends, Ovo, and thank you for the support!
