Chang Lan and his group are also heading towards the center of the strangeness.

However, on the way, Chang Lan learned that many association investigators who were not strong enough were also affected.

Chang Lan had an additional mission, which was to rescue as many association investigators as possible.

In the previous short period of time.

Except for Xu Tianlei and his group of four.

Chang Lan met about six investigators from the association, big and small.

When they met the six association investigators, their situation was even worse than Xu Tianlei and his group.

If Chang Lan had not arrived in time, several investigators would have been killed on the spot by the strange things they encountered.

But even though Chang Lan saved them, several of them were already injured.

The number of people with insufficient combat power who were carried around became even greater.

At this moment, Chang Lan's expression became increasingly heavy.

Xu Tianlei and his group at the side did not say much either. They all understood how much pressure Chang Lan was under at the moment.

Unfortunately, although Xu Tianlei and his team knew about it, they had no way to deal with it as their lack of strength was a fatal flaw.

Unless they can find the several blue-clothed players who are lost in other places in the "Strange Forest".

If we could meet a few blue-clothed players, the situation would be much better.

But nothing unexpected.

Although I haven't encountered the other blue-clothed players in the copy yet.

But Xu Tianlei and his companions could also guess that the situations of the other blue-clothed players should be similar to Chang Lan's, and some of the association investigators who were involved in the incident had already been found.

If they really come together, the situation won't be much better than it is now.

Or should we solve the problem from the root, and find a way to go to the weird center first, and solve this copy once and for all? This will also save us from wandering around in the "Weird Forest" in the dark.

This thought appeared in Chang Lan's mind.

After all, it is definitely more convenient to go directly to the center of the weirdness rather than looking for the lost association investigators in the dark "Strange Forest" copy.

Chang Lan didn't know that the red-clothed player Xia Jie who came from the headquarters had actually gone to the strange center and what had happened.

If Chang Lan knew about this, he would probably become even more desperate.

But now, Chang Lan has not yet decided what to do next.

A chilling aura suddenly emerged around the group of people. Chang Lan seemed to sense something and was startled. His expression suddenly turned ugly.

The surrounding space became weird at this moment.

At the same time, three real evil spirits appeared in three directions.

They are not the strange companions of evil spirits, but three real evil spirits.

One ordinary Qingyi and two top Qingyi.

A huge pressure suddenly emerged from Chang Lan's heart.

If it was Fang Xiang who was here now, perhaps there would be a chance of confrontation.

But unfortunately, Chang Lan himself only has the strength of a top-level Qingyi.

It is already difficult to fight against these three evil spirits.

Plus with Xu Tianlei and the others around, it becomes even more difficult to ensure their safety.

"I will hold you back for a while. You can escape as much as possible. Whether you can survive or not depends entirely on you."

Chang Lan looked at Xu Tianlei and his group with a serious expression and said.

Everyone in the group nodded. Under the current circumstances, they did not dare to have any hesitation.

But just at this moment.

Before Chang Lan could take action, he held back three evil ghosts that were approaching.

Suddenly.

A strange red light appeared out of nowhere.

This strange red light enveloped Chang Lan and his group as well as the three evil spirits.

But strangely, Chang Lan and his group did not feel any crisis at all in the strange red light.

On the contrary, the three evil ghosts became extremely frightened the same moment they were enveloped by the strange red light.

For a moment, the three evil ghosts didn't even care about Chang Lan and his group.

The three evil spirits tried to leave the area covered by the strange red light.

But unfortunately, when they touched the edge of the strange red light.

The illusory strange red light suddenly solidified and bounced the three evil spirits that hit it back.

And during the rebound, the bodies of the three evil spirits seemed to have been roasted by high temperature and had become extremely charred.

Chang Lan and his group were stunned when they saw this sudden scene.

But at this moment, they vaguely understood what this strange red light was.

That is... the real red-clothed ghost, and not a fake ghost like Fang Xiang.

As if they were aware of something, Chang Lan and his group suddenly looked in a certain direction.

In the dark and strange forest, a figure appeared before the group of people.

Some investigators were unfamiliar with the figure before them.

But Chang Lan and Xu Tianlei's eyes were immediately filled with surprise.

"Li Yinchuan! You're here! You've really become a red-dressed man!"

Li Yinchuan nodded slightly.

Immediately, his gaze turned to the three green-clothed evil ghosts who were still struggling in the lumberjack axe ghost den.

The hand holding the woodcutting axe swung gently.

Under Li Yinchuan's control, the red light in the ghost den of the logging axe suddenly became stronger.

The strange red light covered the three evil spirits.

Chang Lan, Xu Tianlei and his group only heard a very brief scream.

After a few breaths, the strange red light disappeared along with the three evil spirits.

The logging axe ghosts that were released in the surroundings dissipated, and Li Yinchuan had already arrived in front of the group.

Looking at Li Yinchuan in front of them, Chang Lan and his group recalled what had just happened.

Facing the three green-clothed evil ghosts, Li Yinchuan didn't even need to do anything. He just needed to casually flick his fingers to kill the three evil ghosts instantly.

This method is countless times more terrifying than that of the blue-clothed player.

“No wonder Redcoat is a real watershed.”

Chang Lan couldn't help but sigh, and looked at Li Yinchuan with a little more awe.

"Let's go to the Weird Center and get things sorted out."

Li Yinchuan's calm voice sounded, and there was even a hint of arrogance in his words.

But to Chang Lan and his group at this moment, Li Yinchuan's words sounded so reliable and reassuring.

In the previous reality revival copy, Li Yinchuan's performance had left a deep impression on Chang Lan and Xu Tianlei.

This time, as the ghost den just opened and killed the evil spirits, their impression was deepened to the extreme.

Didn't say much.

Under the leadership of Li Yinchuan, the group immediately headed towards the center of the strangeness.

…

The other side.

The weird center.

Looking at the half-step red-clothed evil ghost who was "resurrected" again in the center of the weirdness.

At this moment, Xia Jie's expression couldn't help but change slightly.

Moreover, this half-step red-clothed evil ghost did not simply resurrect.

If some of the data were digitized.

Before being killed by Xia Jie, the degree of blood on the body of this half-step red-clothed evil ghost should have been around 50%.

But now, with its "resurrection".

The blood stain on the body of this Half-Step Red-Cloaked Man had increased by at least 10%.

As a result, at this moment, the fake ghost released by this half-step red-clothed ghost has become more capable of fighting against Xia Jie's real red-clothed ghost.

But soon, Xia Jie's expression turned cold.

"You can be resurrected once, but I don't believe you can be resurrected all the time. I'll kill you one more time."

The words fell.

The red-clothed ghost belonging to Xia Jie has been released again.

In the blue-red mist at the center of the weirdness, a strange figure once again condensed.

But there was no difference this time. Before these strange figures could fully condense, they were crushed by Xia Jie.

Immediately afterwards, the real red-clothed ghost descended upon the head of this half-step red-clothed evil ghost.

This time, the pseudo-ghost den of the half-step red-clothed evil ghost lasted about five seconds longer than last time before being crushed further.

But this time, Xia Jie's cold gaze did not move away, and he still looked towards the weird center.

Fang Xiang and the other two who were standing by had just experienced this strange change, and their eyes were fixed on the center of the strangeness without moving.

But this time, before the half-step red-clothed evil ghost in the center of the weirdness could completely "resurrect", Xia Jie's red-clothed ghost den had already enveloped it.

Before the half-step red-clothed evil ghost could be fully resurrected, Xia Jie wiped it out again!

"Resurrection! I want to see how many times you can revive."

Xia Jie's cold voice sounded! But for some reason, when Xia Jie looked at the half-step red-clothed evil spirit that was resurrected again and again in the center of the weirdness, a look of fear appeared in the depths of his eyes.

As a true red player, Xia Jie has seen more reality revival copies.

I have even come across copies of the real red-clothed ghost many times.

The injuries he suffered this time were caused by a resurrected red ghost in another city.

But this was the first time Xia Jie had seen such a strange resurrection copy where evil spirits could be resurrected again and again.

The strength of the evil ghost boss in the dungeon is not difficult to deal with.

But the degree of trouble was enough to give Xia Jie a headache.

In addition, he had just dealt with a red-level reality revival copy and suffered serious injuries.

In fact, up to now, Xia Jie has only used 50% of his peak strength.

This is also the source of Xia Jie's fear.

Originally, the Half-Step Red Clothes Copy that could be easily crushed has now become so troublesome.

And now, Xia Jie also felt that with his repeated suppression, the strength of the half-step red-clothed evil ghost in the center of the weirdness was becoming stronger and stronger.

It would be fine if the highest limit is maintained at the top half-step red dress.

But if he could truly break through to the level of the red-clothed ghost, it would be difficult for Xia Jie to deal with it now.

Thinking of this, Xia Jie couldn't help but subconsciously slow down the pace of killing the half-step red-clothed evil ghost in the center of the weirdness.

His attention couldn't help but look around, trying to find out the truth behind why this half-step red-clothed evil ghost could be resurrected again and again.

If it can be contained at the source, then it won't be too difficult to resolve this copy.

But unfortunately, Xia Jie was allowed to take a close look at everything around him.

But he still couldn't find the specific reason why the evil spirits could keep resurrecting.

At the same time, in the center of the weirdness, the resistance of the half-step red-clothed evil ghost, which was becoming stronger and stronger, was also becoming stronger and stronger at this moment.

The half-step red-clothed evil ghost suddenly released his ghostly aura.

For a moment, the red-clothed ghost cave maintained by the injured Xia Jie even showed a brief tremor and almost showed signs of collapse.

Xia Jie, who had originally been concentrating on finding the specific reason for the resurrection of the evil ghost, couldn't help but change his expression. He suppressed his emotions and stabilized his ghost den again.

The real red-clothed ghost appeared again.

Xia Jie's eyes flashed slightly.

But this time, he did not directly kill the half-step red-clothed evil ghost in the center of the weirdness, but only used his own red-clothed ghost to suppress it.

This behavior is similar to the fact that Fang Xiang and the other two did not dare to kill Guiyi before.

Fang Xiang and the other two breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene.

Because of Xia Jie's previous crushing, they subconsciously forgot that they could just suppress without killing.

This half-step red-clothed evil ghost has been suppressed. Although the copy cannot be solved, it is better than continuing to expand.

As long as we find the truth to crack the resurrection of the evil spirit in this copy, all problems can be solved.

But at this moment, the half-step red-clothed evil ghost that had been suppressed by Xia Jie seemed to have realized Xia Jie's true purpose.

This half-step red-clothed evil ghost became fearless at this moment.

The pseudo-ghost den condensed around its body was detonated inch by inch by itself.

A terrifying and strange aura continued to spread in all directions.

Under the explosion of the pseudo ghost den, Xia Jie's red ghost den trembled again.

Similarly, this half-step red-clothed evil ghost was not spared, and his body became tattered under the explosion of his own pseudo-ghost den.

Then, the strange aura belonging to this evil spirit slowly dissipated.

“This, this, this…”

At this moment, seeing this half-step red-clothed evil ghost escape by self-explosion, Fang Xiang and the other two looked even uglier.

But the next moment, at the center of the weirdness, something even more terrifying emerged.

And along with this recovery.

Xia Jie's originally calm expression finally turned ugly.

In the strange center, the ghost fog, which was supposed to be blue and red, kept changing color at this moment.

The blue color that was originally becoming less and less has completely disappeared.

Instead, it is true red.

"boom!"

Horrifying waves burst out from the strange center.

Compared with any previous fluctuations, this time there is a qualitative difference.

For a moment, Xia Jie, who was injured when he first arrived and had consumed a lot of ghost energy by "killing" the half-step red-clothed ghost many times, was finally unable to withstand this attack.

The ghost den belonging to Xia Jie disappeared, and his already pale face became even paler as paper. He looked at the strange center with horror.

At this moment, the strongest evil spirit in the copy has transformed from a half-step red-clothed ghost into a real red-clothed ghost.

Under normal circumstances, Xia Jie would naturally not be afraid.

But now, Xia Jie's strength is less than 50% of his peak due to injury.

It's okay to crush some half-step red-clothed monsters, but it is far from enough to face red-clothed ghosts of the same level!

Thinking of this, Xia Jie had already begun to think of retreating. An illusory ghost den emerged, covering Fang Xiang and the other two, and prepared to evacuate first.

When the time comes, call other red-clothed players to come together to solve this copy.

But unfortunately, when Xia Jie tried to leave, the red-clothed ghost in the center of the weirdness had already seen through Xia Jie's thoughts.

A very terrifying red-clothed ghost in peak condition emerged.

The real red-clothed evil ghost had enveloped Xia Jie and his companions in it in advance.

The strange center, which had shrunk a lot due to Xia Jie's arrival, began to expand violently.

The entire "Strange Forest" exudes an even more eerie atmosphere.

The strange environment in the "Strange Forest" becomes even more difficult to deal with.

The strange power that emerged also became more terrifying.

If there were still people standing outside the "Weird Forest" copy at this moment, they would be able to see that the area covered by the "Weird Forest" was expanding at an extremely terrifying speed.

The range expanded in just these few breaths has even exceeded the distance of the previous few hours.

The entire "Strange Forest" was completely dark inside.

Even the association members whose physical fitness had been strengthened by the ghost energy felt that the visibility in front of them had dropped by several levels.

At the same time, in the strange center, strange figures gathered again.

This time, because the strength of the evil ghost boss in the copy has increased, many of the strange figures that have been condensed have taken on a green and red color.

Seeing this scene, Xia Jie's expression became even uglier.

In this situation, there is a red-clothed evil ghost in the center that is blocking the way.

Even if he really wanted to get away, it would be a bit troublesome.

Maybe... there's a price to pay.

Thinking of this, Xia Jie's expression couldn't help but turn painful.

But the current situation did not allow him to hesitate any longer. If he hesitated any further, it would be hard to say whether he could leave.

But just when Xia Jie was about to use some special means to escape from the "Strange Forest" copy.

Suddenly.

In the ghost den, Xia Jie and the red-clothed evil ghost were fighting against each other.

The third red-clothed ghost suddenly emerged and inserted itself between the two.

Because of the appearance of this red-clothed ghost, Xia Jie and the red-clothed evil ghost were both stunned for a moment.

Then, the two seemed to realize something.

Their eyes all looked in the same direction.

There, a figure holding a lumberjack axe was slowly approaching.

Behind the figure holding the lumberjack axe, there were a dozen people, including Xu Tianlei, whom he had just met a few days ago.

At the same time, Fang Xiang and the other two who were protected by Xia Jie in his own ghost cave also saw Li Yinchuan who was walking in the front.

The first moment I saw Li Yinchuan.

Fang Xiang showed a surprised expression on his face! Xia Jie saw this surprised expression and understood its meaning.

That is complete trust.

This trust was even stronger than when he appeared before and killed the half-step red-clothed evil ghost in the center of the weirdness several times in a row.

Suddenly, Xia Jie seemed to think of something.

His eyes turned to Li Yinchuan again.

The impression of Li Yinchuan suddenly emerged in Xia Jie's mind.

Xia Jie remembered clearly that Li Yinchuan, who was walking towards the center of the strangeness at this moment, was the person he had passed by before when he entered the edge of the "Strange Talk Forest"! (End of this chapter)
