The Psychic Resurrection: Riding the Mirage

Chapter 123: Terror in the Ancient Tomb

The masked man looked ugly. Did he know that he was being morally blackmailed? Was he being a saintly bitch?

He knew. He knew everything!

He just saw that the old man Tian Shan looked relatively gentle, so he wanted to set Tian Shan up and force him to "work harder if he is capable" and "serve the collective". When he encountered trouble, he would take the initiative to help without asking for anything in return.

Who would have thought that the old man would leave as soon as he said he would, and there was no chance to retain him.

In fact, many people in the team had similar ideas, but the masked man was the first to say it. If he succeeded, everyone would take advantage of him. If he failed, the responsibility would be on him.

Tian Shan probably saw that this team was unreliable, so he got away in time.

He Ming was walking in the front. He had just encountered an attack, and several ghost riders were in poor condition, but the team did not stop to rest. According to He Ming, "If you can't hold on, you can quit immediately."

No one quit. When they signed up for this exploration mission, most people were ready to face the crisis. Those who signed up impulsively quit in the morning and didn't get on the ghost bus at all.

Hong Lan was a lively person. He approached He Ming and asked, "What does the entrance to the ancient tomb look like?"

"There is an abnormal scene nearby, which is the entrance." He Ming responded.

This was just nonsense. Hong Lan's mouth was faster than his brain, and he blurted out, "Could it be that as we walk, we can see a signboard that says 'Ghost Tomb Welcomes You?'"

As soon as he finished speaking, He Ming stopped and glanced back at Hong Lan, "There is no signboard, but there are other signs."

Two small black dots appeared in the distance, which seemed to be two statues. He Ming quickened his pace in that direction, and everyone followed closely. When they got closer, they saw that there were not two statues, but two rows of statues with a passage in the middle.

The statue was covered with moss and some unknown plants. Someone reached out and touched it. It was wet and slippery. He scraped off the moss with a short knife, revealing the face of the statue.

Hu Jiu couldn't recognize what it was. He lacked knowledge in this area. He regarded all the stone statues in the country as stone lions.

After walking along the passage in the middle of the statues for half an hour, two larger statues appeared in front of him. After passing the statues, the entrance to the underground palace was in front of him.

"Is there no one guarding here?" Hong Yan complained.

"Originally, this was just an ordinary ancient tomb, but after overlapping with the ghost tomb, the space inside has become chaotic. Everyone should be cautious when entering." He Ming reminded him for the last time and walked in first.

The entrance to the underground palace is a bit narrow, and it is dark inside. It is not only cold but also damp. The air is turbid and has a smell of decay, which is very choking.

He Ming took out a flashlight, and the other people in the team also took out lighting equipment. After walking for a while, there was still no end in sight in front, and the entrance to the underground palace behind had become a light spot. There are stone walls on both sides. With the light, some dim murals can be seen.

He Ming took out a pistol and held it in his hand. Hu Jiu approached the stone wall and touched it. The stone wall was smooth and a little wet. This was his first time to enter an ancient tomb. He was excited when he read tomb-robbing novels before, but when he really entered the tomb, he felt that the environment was cramped and the air quality was bad.

This corridor was unexpectedly long and there was almost no decoration. Except for the occasional murals, there was not even a lamp stand for the eternal lamp. It was too simple.

"Ah~" Suddenly someone screamed.

"What's going on!" He Ming asked.

"There seems to be a ghost there!" The speaker was a young man, his voice was a little frightened, and the light of the flashlight shone diagonally upwards on the stone wall. Everyone's scalp was numb and they retreated one after another.

There was a "corpse" on the top of the stone wall. The stone wall that the corpse was close to was sunken, just stuck to it, like raisins embedded on the surface of bread. Its face was rotten and bones were visible, with only a few pieces of rotten meat hanging on it. There were only two black holes in its eyes, staring straight at the people in the corridor.

After a careful look, the corpse was tightly wrapped by a black chain, and its limbs were twisted at a strange angle, as if the bones were broken and stuffed into the wall.

Everyone was worried for a while, only to find that the corpse was motionless and no abnormality occurred.

"Is this just an ordinary corpse, not a ghost?" Someone murmured.

"If this is really a ghost, then the black chain might be a good thing that can suppress a ghost to be motionless." Hu Jiu's cold voice suddenly sounded, as if it was just a simple reminder.

As soon as this was said, the eyes of several ghost riders changed immediately.

"Take off the chain, quickly, while the corpse is still, stuff it directly into the golden body bag, and you will have the chain."

"Wait, what if the ghost accidentally revives and something dangerous happens?"

"Isn't the purpose of signing up for the exploration mission to find treasures? You are so timid and afraid of this and that, what are you doing in the ancient tomb? Are you here for sightseeing?"

"There is only one chain. If you want it, wait until we are far away, then go get it yourself. Don't drag everyone to take risks with you just for your own greed!"

Everyone was quarreling. As soon as the team entered the ancient tomb, there were differences. Some people wanted to fight for the chain; some people had already formed a small team to go past He Ming and walked towards the depths of the corridor. Obviously they didn't want to fight with the big people. Troops left together; others left alone.

"Okay, don't make any noise. Those who want this chain can stay here and do it. Those who don't want to get involved in this matter come with me. Let's move on." He Ming said lightly.

"Captain, won't you stay and wait for us?" The man who wanted to take away the chain frowned.

"I have other tasks. You want to get things by yourself. Why should I wait? Although I am the captain, it is free exploration time now. There is no need to act together. Whoever wants to go with me can go together. If you don't want to follow me, I want to No matter what, the only thing is, don't attack your teammates, otherwise the headquarters will definitely hold you accountable once they find out!" He Ming said and left.

A few people stayed. They were obviously a team and wanted to get the chain. Others who were also interested in the chain had no choice but to give up when they saw that they were outnumbered.

They haven't walked out of the corridor yet, and the team has not been completely dispersed. However, because of He Ming's words just now, someone has already formed a temporary team in an upright manner.

The pairing of Fang Qingqiao and Zheng Ling showed great strength when they dealt with the funny ghost outside the ancient tomb just now. Moreover, Fang Qingqiao took the initiative to recruit teammates, and the small team headed by him gradually grew.

Originally, Fang Qingqiao wanted to invite Hu Jiu to act together. After all, they had cooperated briefly before. But when dealing with the funny ghost outside the tomb, his ghost realm could not take away Hu Jiu, which showed that Hu Jiu was no weaker than him. A few minutes ago, Hu Jiu reminded that the chain might be a good tool for suppressing the evil spirits. As a result, the team dispersed. There was not much causal relationship between the two things, but Fang Qingqiao's intuition warned that recruiting Hu Jiu to join the group was not a good thing. What a great idea.

He Ming, the real captain, is a bit lonely.

Not long after, we reached the end of the corridor, and there was a vast space in front of us. The bright flashlight was shining in all directions, and we couldn't even see the edges. It was as if everyone had come to a different time and space, and things like "walls" were gone.

There is a huge pothole in the right front of the corridor. It is so dark that even a strong flashlight cannot reach the bottom of the pit.

There is no road ahead. It can also be said that there are roads everywhere. You can go in any direction.

Everyone looked at each other and were eager to try. Before they could decide which direction to go forward, several painful roars suddenly came from the corridor behind them, followed by the sound of shaking iron chains.

"No, I'm afraid those people just failed and failed to remove the chains, but they revived the ghost." Fang Qingqiao looked solemn, turned around and ran away.

Many people left behind him.

The sound of the chains came from far away, rattling and rattling one after another, approaching the place quickly.

Hu Jiu turned around and glanced. He Ming pulled his arm, "Stop looking and run!"

The crowd fled in all directions. A dark chain suddenly stretched out from the corridor and pierced the shoulder blade of a ghost rider without any warning. Before he could even scream, the whole person was dragged away by the chain without any resistance. power.

He Ming took a breath of air and saw from the corner of his eye that a ghost was coming.

The rotting corpse embedded in the stone wall of the corridor came to life. It was holding the chain with both hands. Behind it, several ghost masters had their shoulders pierced by the chains and were pierced in a string, like candied haws, being dragged away by the ghosts.

The ghost masters who were caught in chains were not dead yet, but their faces were gloomy and there was a look of pleading in their eyes. Unfortunately, no one was willing to take the risk to help them.

"Does it look like it?" Hu Jiu suddenly asked.

He Ming was confused: "What does it look like?"

Hu Jiu spit out four words: "The ghost is trapped by the evil spirits."

He Ming was stunned and nodded.

Swish——

The black chain came straight towards the two of them. He Ming let go of Hu Jiu's arm and barely dodged it. Although he could become invisible, the chain seemed to be able to suppress the ghosts indiscriminately, otherwise it would be impossible for the captured ghost controller. There was no resistance, so He Ming was unwilling to risk testing.

Hu Jiu threw out the hanging rope to block a wave of chain attacks, but the hanging rope immediately withered and was no longer as active as usual.

The chain swung wildly in mid-air like a flexible snake. People who were running in the same direction were forced to disperse, and Hu Jiu and He Ming also dispersed.

The good news is that the ghost chased in the direction of He Ming's group of people, and the pressure on people in other directions was temporarily reduced.

Looking around him, he saw a little girl named Su Jingtang, panting like a bellows, and a ghost controller who was wrapped in cloth like a mummy. He didn't seem to be breathing at all.

"Don't stop, the ghost might catch up with you soon." Mr. Mummy reminded.

In the long darkness, I don’t know how long I walked, but suddenly I heard the sound of water in my ears, and a large deep underground water flow appeared in front of me.

The three of them stopped at the water's edge, and the faint sound of chains shaking could be heard in the distance.

"The water in the ancient tomb may be weird, so don't touch it." Mr. Mummy said. Before he got close, he felt a biting chill. The water was definitely not good.

"The road ahead is blocked by water, so how should we get across?" Su Jingtang looked very distressed.

"It's not how we're going to get there, it's you who have to find a way to save yourself. Little sister, I won't accompany you." After saying this, the mummy floated across the water in Su Jingtang's shocked eyes. , directly to the other side.

"I..." Su Jingtang was speechless, turned to look at Hu Jiu's position, and was shocked again.

Hu Jiu had already disappeared. He used the ghost domain to directly cross the groundwater and left Su Jingtang and the mummy behind.

He walked through several dangerous areas in a row, but did not gain anything. He did not find any ghosts or supernatural objects.

Suddenly, his feet slipped and he seemed to step on something round. He looked down and saw that it was an object that looked like a glass marble, or it could be a glass bead used to string a bracelet, with many cracks.

Hu Jiu picked it up through the gold and did not see anything unusual. Maybe it was just an ordinary marble?

He threw the bead away, but before he took a few steps, he stepped on it again!

Something is wrong!

When Hu Jiu slipped for the third time, he understood that the function of this bead seemed to be to make passers-by step on it and slip, probably causing injuries or even death.

It was an interesting little thing, but it seemed a bit useless.

Hu Jiu put the marble away and studied it more after leaving the ancient tomb.

Continuing forward, not far away, it seemed that someone suddenly passed by and almost bumped into Hu Jiu.

Hu Jiu immediately looked around, but found nothing. Just as he relaxed his vigilance, the airflow around him was driven again, as if someone was running past him.

In an instant, the ghost domain opened, and the mirage swept around. Under the cover of the ghost domain, the thing finally showed its image.

It was a white translucent phantom, very much like the lonely ghost in traditional folk tales. It floated aimlessly in this space, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, occasionally bringing a breeze, and looked harmless.

Hu Jiu summoned a white silk, but the white silk passed through the ghost directly without any incident.

"Visible and intangible illusory ghost?" Hu Jiu became interested, which overlapped with some of his abilities.

He tried the abilities of many ghosts such as ghost hands, ghost shadows, and ghost walls, and without exception, they were all immune to the attacks of the translucent ghost.

It is worth containing!

Hu Jiu didn't want to waste time testing its ability in such a place, so he took out the ghost book and ghost pen and wrote a line of words. The translucent ghost immediately couldn't move and stood there obediently waiting to be put into the sack.

After receiving the ghost, Hu Jiu drew a door on the spot. The door seemed to be rusty and was pushed open very slowly. It took a long time to reveal a gap, which could barely fit the golden body bag in.

"This tomb is really unusual..."
