Chapter 1883: Gui Hua
Seeing several demon generals leaving, Tang Zhen chuckled and did not continue to pursue them.
With his status, he would not chase after the demon warrior. Firstly, he was disdainful, and secondly, it was unnecessary.
In about ten minutes at most, these demon warriors will be drained of their essence and blood and turned into shriveled corpses.
The demon servants and demon war generals are no longer a concern. The next thing to do is to find the entrance to the demon nest in this haunted house.
This haunted house is not the devil's nest. Just like the factory building last time, it only exists to protect the devil's nest.
If you want to enter the Devil's Nest, breaking into the house is the first step, and finding the entrance to the Devil's Nest is the second step.
What appeared in front of him at this time was a dilapidated and ancient building. Due to the long period of disrepair, these houses looked shabby.
But even after hundreds of years of wind and rain, these buildings still have not collapsed, and some rooms still have the same furnishings as before.
When people step into it today, they feel as if they have traveled through time and space instantly and come to an ancient house.
It's just that the atmosphere in this house is too eerie and terrifying. People are not in the mood to experience the ancient customs. They just want to escape from this gloomy place.
The entrance to the devil's lair must be hidden in this haunted house, but Tang Zhen needs to carefully search for the specific location.
If his strength is not suppressed, he only needs to use his mental power to cover the entire house to discover the abnormalities here.
No matter how deep it is hidden, it will be exposed under mental exploration. Finding the entrance to the devil's nest is really a simple matter.
But now he needs to distinguish carefully and find the real entrance to the Demon Nest by looking for subtle clues.
It's just that there are too many clutter in these rooms, and the devil's entrance could be hidden anywhere. If you really have to search for them one by one, God knows how much time will be wasted.
The Lord of the Demon Nest naturally knew this, so he used the debris here as a cover to delay Tang Zhen from finding the entrance as much as possible.
Perhaps the Lord of the Demon Nest is helpless. Tang Zhen's appearance is definitely a disaster from heaven.
The Demon Nest that has been operated for many years cannot be abandoned easily. He has no way to stop Tang Zhen from attacking here, so he can only try his best to kill him.
The Lord of the Demon Nest was obviously afraid of Tang Zhen, or was frightened by the death of the previous demon, otherwise he would not have used this method, but would directly fight against Tang Zhen.
No strong person can bear this kind of thing being slapped on their doorstep. No one will make such a choice unless they have no choice.
The Lord of the Demon Nest was timid and did not want to confront him directly, so he acted in a way that seemed shocking but actually lacked confidence.
Since it wants to be a coward and hide in the devil's nest and not come out, Tang Zhen will force it out!
There were many furnishings in the first room. Tang Zhen glanced at them one by one, but found nothing suspicious.
“It’s not here, it should be in another room.”
Tang Zhen walked out of the room and went to another room to continue searching for suspicious locations.
Entering another house, Tang Zhen found that this should be the living room, with the chairs and furniture placed in place and well preserved.
Dust fell on the items and accumulated a thick layer. Strangely, there were no traces of any insects or mice.
The dust falling on the ground is also too smooth, as if it has been wiped by a tool.
Tang Zhen's eyes swept across the interior of the house, finally stopping on a picture scroll in the house, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The content of this ancient painting is strange and horrifying. A woman in white is kneeling on the ground, with her hands clasped together in worship, her face full of piety.
On the altar in front of her, there was a pile of sacrifices, but they were not fruits, but bloody heads of men and women.
These heads stared angrily, their eyes full of unwillingness, as if they were silently accusing.
The blood overflowed from the plate and spread around, the red color was a bit dazzling.
At an angle that the woman couldn't see, several evil ghosts were hiding behind the altar, holding heads and arms in their hands, mouths full of blood and constantly gnawing at them. These evil spirits are eating and laughing, and their blood-red eyes seem to penetrate the drawing paper, looking at the viewer with mocking eyes.
I don’t know what the painter’s state of mind was at that time, so he created such a strange work, which always makes viewers shudder when they look closely.
The most puzzling thing is that the original owner of this house hung this painting in the hall. I don’t know what the purpose was?
Tang Zhen looked at the painting intently, as if there was some secret hidden in it.
The sound of fighting behind him was endless, and the surrounding courtyard was silent. Tang Zhen stood quietly at the door, without moving his steps.
It seemed that everything had nothing to do with him. In his world, only the painting in front of him remained.
After watching for a full minute, Tang Zhen showed a smile on his lips and stepped into the hall.
Stepping on the ground with both feet, the result was an empty hall. The floor of the hall, which seemed to be covered with dust, was actually an illusion trap.
If you are unprepared and your strength is not too high, you will be deceived by this illusion and step into the pit.
The inside of the deep pit is naturally extremely dangerous, and anyone who falls into it will definitely die. In the past few days, countless intruders have died here.
Under the deep pit, there were already many bones.
But when Tang Zhen stepped into the hall, he did not fall into it, but felt as if he was walking on flat ground.
At this moment, in the painting opposite, the eyes of an evil ghost changed, revealing a trace of surprise.
This is the evil spirit in the painting. It hides in the scroll and uses despicable means to harm people. It is unknown how many ordinary people have been harmed by it.
At this moment, the evil spirit in the painting is panicked and somewhat at a loss.
It seemed that it didn't expect that Tang Zhen didn't fall into the trap, so it subconsciously showed a surprised expression.
In other words, its strength is too low, and it cannot see through Tang Zhen's reality at all, and just regards him as an ordinary person.
Tang Zhen continued to walk towards the painting, as if he didn't notice anything unusual about the evil ghost in the painting, but the smile on his face grew stronger.
The expression on the evil ghost's face changed from surprise to horror, and his body began to tremble slightly, as if he was trying to break away from the scroll and turn around to escape.
It had a feeling that the person in front of it was too scary, and if it didn't run away, it would probably die.
But this scroll is like a chain, trapping the evil spirit in the painting so that it cannot escape at all.
In its frightened eyes, Tang Zhen finally came to the scroll and gently stretched out his fingers.
A pure white flame emerged from the fingertips. There was no trace of warmth, but it was extremely cold.
The evil spirit in the painting has a premonition that once it is touched by the flame, it will be wiped out in an instant.
It desperately used illusions to try to deceive Tang Zhen, but in the end those illusions couldn't be used at all, and seemed to disappear out of thin air.
Deep despair flashed through my heart, and the evil spirit in the painting watched helplessly as the fingers pressed on me, as if the sky was about to collapse.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Tang Zhen's fingers suddenly turned and pressed hard on the body of the worshiping woman in the painting.
The evil spirit in the painting was very happy, thinking that Tang Zhen had not discovered it and had a lucky escape.
Unexpectedly, just when this thought had just arisen, a sound of shock and anger came from its ears, mixed with a hint of uneasiness.
Then the picture changed. The woman who was worshiping the dead object in the painting tore out of the paper and stood in front of Tang Zhen with a gloomy face.
Thanks to: "Xiaoyao Pavilion Master" and "Oriental Turning Point" for their rewards, and to book friends for their support.
