I can see the details.
Respond to Han's gaze with trust and calmness.
Hanqi's apprehension in his eyes fades slightly.
The uniqueness of my special afterlife lies in my ability to sense ghosts, but also in my capability to summon the spirit of the dead!
The spirits of the dead are not limited to the five little ghosts.
Among the spirits of the dead, the five little ghosts also belong to the powerful ones.
The nine schools of magic have their limits. Although I haven't reached the most powerful level yet, it's almost set in stone.
Even if it is the strongest, there is still a gap compared to Taoists and true malevolent spirits and evil ghosts.
This is also the reason why I have recently been frequently fighting with people, lacking strength, and unable to continue.
But if given time, and if I can summon enough spirits of the dead, then it would be a different story.
However, in general, frequently summoning ghosts is also easy to cause trouble, expose the special afterlife ability of sensing ghosts, and also cause problems.
The taller the tree stands in the forest, the stronger the wind will blow against it.
Not only the people in the lower nine streams themselves, but also other opposing forces might do something as well.
In these thoughts, the five spirits of the dead suddenly scattered and ran ahead.
They moved at great speed, quickly climbing up the hillside.
"Hurry up!" Hanqi reminded me, and I immediately followed the five little ghosts in pursuit.
As I climbed up the hill, I had an indescribable feeling again.
The ground... It looks like earth, but it doesn't seem to be compacted like normal earth. Instead, when you step on it, it feels like stepping on dead pork.
No, no...
I used to go digging for bodies at night, and I've also stepped on a body before.
The feeling is just like it is now!
"Brother Luo? What's wrong?"
Hanqi called me again, and I snapped back to reality, realizing that I was walking much slower.
The five little ghosts up ahead can only be seen as a faint shadow now...
I took a heavy breath and said hoarsely that I was fine, accelerating my pace!
Hanqi also increased his speed.
The speed of the two of us is now several times faster than before!
Soon, we reached the top of the hill!
The scene that came into view made my scalp tingle and I shivered uncontrollably!
This hill is not a mountain that intercepts.
But it is a ring!
The ring-shaped hill has a sloping interior.
The sloping hillside is full of caves.
The circular caves look extremely smooth.
It's like the large pores on the skin...
I had goosebumps all over my body, and I felt very uncomfortable. The feeling of nausea was almost about to burst out.
The five little ghosts had scattered, climbing up the sloping hill. For a moment, they all seemed to have become confused, lacking a sense of direction.
My breathing became heavy, and I glanced at Hanqi out of the corner of my eye.
Even for a living corpse, Hanqi's forehead still produced gray sweat.
"Never seen such a strange place..." He muttered.
Just then, the five little ghosts scattered again.
Three of them ran towards the slope on the right, while the other two ran towards the left slope!
My face and Hanqi's both turned pale.
Hanqi seemed to be about to take a step towards the left, but then hesitated, as if he wanted to go right instead.
I moved faster and grabbed Hanqi's shoulder!
"I'll go left. Just wait." I whispered.
The scattered little ghosts quickly entered a cave with three of them.
The other two little ghosts of the five entered another cave only when they were almost at the bottom of the slope.
I narrowed my eyes slightly and noted down the direction.
"The human aura has been separated; we cannot split up."
"Do you think it's Han Senior and Si Yan who have been separated?"
"Is it possible that it's Sun Zhuo? Han Senior and Si Yan Dao, even if they get into trouble, should definitely be in one place!"
I spoke quickly, explaining my analysis.
This place is too strange.
It looks calm, but I feel that this place is far from calm.
I had previously thought that Sun Zhuo might take advantage of the situation to kill Han Zizi and the female Taoist.
Now it seems... Is it possible that Sun Zhuo might have also been clever but stumbled into danger?!
Of course, I didn't explain these thoughts to Hanqi too clearly.
Hanqi showed a look of realization.
I don't say much, and walk towards the cave entered by the three little ghosts first.
As I descended from the top of the hill and walked on the slope covered with caves, that soft yet hard feeling became even stronger.
It feels even more like stepping on a body...
After a few minutes, we arrived at the edge of that cave.
In dim light, the visibility inside the cave was extremely low, and it even gave off a greenish hue.
A faint smell of bloodiness wafted out from it.
Sometimes, we can hear whispers of laughter.
Whispers of laughter... Not coming from anything else, but the five little ghosts.
The five little ghosts are inherently playful.
I looked at Hanqi again and my expression became more cautious.
"Let's go in and check it out."
Hanqi stepped into the cave.
A faint splash sound, accompanied by a click sound, and a layer of slime was pulled out from the bottom of his shoes...
I frowned and followed him inside.
Stepping on the ground, the sticky and greasy sensation... It was like stepping on a rotting body, with the soles of my feet covered in body oil.
The cave is becoming deeper and the cave walls are becoming even smoother.
This is definitely not any kind of soil, it's skin...
The delicate and yellowed skin no longer shows pores; this is distinctly dead human skin!
The cave is becoming increasingly narrow...
Finally, we reached the bottom.
The three little ghosts are surrounding a person in the center.
The person is standing motionless in the center, but their body is wrapped by a pitch-black rope.
No, it looks like a rope. However, when I examine it more carefully, it seems to be some kind of hair.
Hair as thick as a baby's arm circumference wraps around from the bottom, encircling the person's neck.
The tips of the hairs, which are split into multiple pointed tips, seem to be trying to penetrate the person's nostrils, mouth, ears, and eyes...
However, she exudes a faint white mist around her, preventing them from entering!
The white mist is also dissipating.
When the white mist is completely consumed, it may not be able to stop these hairs...
Hanqi's body was shivering.
I was equally startled in my heart.
The slightly pale and thin face, coupled with the faint absence of vitality, gave people a strong sense of sympathy on the stunning beauty scale.
It was as if I wanted to protect her at any cost!
But in fact, she also carried a trace of coldness, keeping people at a distance.
Is this not the female Taoist Si Yan?
She and Han Zizi have separated!
The five little ghosts are searching for human auras; in the other cave, it must be either Han Zizi or Sun Zhuo!
If either of them, the other one must have already died...
The next second, Hanqi forcefully extended his hand and grabbed towards those hairs!
The hairs suddenly split off a small portion, wrapping around Hanqi's arm fiercely!
They are more like living beings, and unlike how they treated Si Yan, seeking holes to enter.
They directly inserted into Hanqi's arm!
Hanqi's face twisted violently, even though he is a living corpse, he seemed to feel the intense pain.
Soon, Hanqi's face became gaunt, as if it were being drained.
The cave trembled and twitched, as if feeling pleasant!
I didn't have time to think, and I suddenly reached out, cutting off the hairs with a razor blade!
However, the sharp razor blade seemed to be cutting through tendons, unable to cut through!
Instead, the hairs came back and were about to wrap around my arm!
I stepped back two steps in a hurry, trying to avoid the hairs.
But unforeseen events occurred.
Suddenly, a hand pushed me forward from my back.
It should be impossible for someone to be behind us; we are the first ones to enter!
With this push, I lost my balance and was entangled by the hairs on my arm!
