Chapter 164: Breaking out of the siege
Just when the two of them had been running for who knows how long, the ghost candle burned faster suddenly, and at the same time a cold breath came, almost subconsciously, Fang Diyuan and Yan Duo stopped. Stepped down.
The eerie candlelight was suppressed at this moment, and the area covered by the ghost candlelight was rapidly shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Originally, candlelight could illuminate a range of five or six meters around it, but now it was suppressed to a range of about three meters, and this range continued to shrink as time went by.
It seems that they are about to arrive at their destination. At this moment, the surrounding black and red haze is constantly eroding the green candlelight emitted by the ghost candle, forming a clear boundary between the two.
"The situation here seems not to be good. This ghost candle may burn out in a minute at most, no, half a minute at most." A trace of cold sweat broke out on Yan Duo's forehead.
The darkness ahead brought him a very serious sense of oppression. Once the ghost candle was extinguished, they might encounter a fierce ghost at any time, not to mention that Yan Duo, who lost the protection of the ghost shirt, was likely to die.
"Logically speaking, my ghost wind sand should have an advantage when dealing with this kind of ghost realm, but this time it was suppressed to death. As expected, although the ghost's ability is not good or bad, but It still depends on the degree of recovery. "
Fang Diyuan smiled bitterly, took a slight breath, raised the ghost candle and walked forward quickly with Yan Duo.
The next moment, when he took another step forward, a golden light suddenly flashed through the thick haze. Although it was very dim, Fang Diyuan could see very clearly through the ghost candle's candlelight. clear.
"The laboratory is here, be careful."
There are vague outlines of human figures lurking in the black and red haze, seeming to be observing them, and some even directly try to pass through the darkness to invade this place. In the green candlelight.
It is unimaginable that if they had not found this ghost candle before, God knows what kind of horror they would experience at this moment.
"Fang Diyuan? And... Yan Duo?" After taking a few steps forward, a voice suddenly sounded from a dark corner.
The next moment, a man covered in blood appeared in front of them. In his hand, he was holding a man whose throat was bitten through. He had a tired look on his face and was a little vigilant. Looked at Fang Diyuan.
In his other hand, he held a ghost candle, which also had very little left and was struggling to hold on in the darkness.
"Wen Zhong, you are still alive! It seems that we are not late, but what you are holding is... Du Bai Ge?" Yan Duo said with some surprise, but when he saw Wen Zhong clearly, After Tadashi held the person in his hand, his expression immediately became surprised.
"Yan Duo... Tsk, it seems that you are not a fake this time." Wen Zhong said a little weakly. As he said that, he blew out the ghost candle and walked into the candlelight where Fang Diyuan and Yan Duo were. among.
While he was taking action, there was a figure behind him who was still following him, wanting to take advantage of Wen Zhong's opportunity to blow out the ghost candle. When Fang Diyuan saw this, he took the initiative to step forward and force the opponent to stop. Finally it disappeared into darkness again.
"Where are the others? Why are you and Du Baige the only two here?" Yan Duo asked.
"They are all dead. Wen He, Zhang Youwei and even Professor Ochiai are all dead. However, Du Baige is still alive, but do you think there is any difference between him alive and dead like this?" Wen Zhong said.
“What!”
Hearing that Professor Ochiai was also dead, Fang Diyuan and Yan Duo’s expressions became a little surprised. It had only been so long that the group was almost wiped out. No, it’s okay. Said the group had been destroyed.
Wen Zhong then said: "Get ready to retreat. That ghost is probably no longer here. In fact, we have blocked the previous attack, but who would have thought that the thinking ghost at the source has actually been dormant all this time. Around us."
"That one. The thinking ghost has been confirmed. It does possess the consciousness of a living person to a certain extent, but it is not the consciousness of He Youxu. It can even actively suppress its own killing patterns. Obviously we have met its killing conditions, but it can actually I endured it forcefully.”
Wen Zhong was really strong. Even when surrounded by a group of mummies, he could still fight his way out. He had even brought Ochiai, Du Baige and Yan Duo out of the encirclement.
But the next moment, the flesh on Yan Duo's face suddenly shriveled up like a deflated rubber ball, and the ghost shirt on his body also changed color, becoming wrinkled like a piece of human skin.
Then its neck stretched out, its mouth opened wide, and its ferocious and strange teeth were arranged in a crisscross pattern, biting straight at the unsuspecting Du Baige.
This bite not only bit Du Baige's throat, but even tore off the coughing ghost he was controlling. Fortunately, Wen Zhong reacted in time and blocked the ghost from killing him again this time. attack.
But the price was that his ghost hand was almost bitten off by this fierce ghost, and only the lower half of the skin on his forearm was barely connected to his ghost hand.
Although the ghost in Du Baige's body was stripped away, fortunately, he controlled the second ghost, which allowed him to persist and did not die immediately. At this moment, he was lying on the ground with blood pouring out of his throat.
Professor Ochiai is not as lucky as Du Baige.
The moment they were attacked by the thinking ghost, a stiff, withered hand covered with corpse spots stretched out from the darkness. There was no room for resistance and it dragged him directly into the darkness.
"Hey, how did you survive, and how do you know that the ghost following you is the source ghost?" Hearing this, Yan Duo couldn't help but interrupt.
The crack on Wen Zhong's arm was recovering quickly, and Li Gui's instinct of splicing the body was working to heal the wound. Hearing this, he looked up at Yan Duo and then at Fang Diyuan.
"Because it is wearing your ghost shirt. Professor Ochiai said that only the source ghost has the ability to suppress and control other ghosts." Wen Zhong said.
“After that, another unknown ghost appeared. I don’t know why he got into a fight with the thinking ghost, so I took the opportunity to leave. It’s worth mentioning that the skinning ability of the thinking ghost failed midway. "Did you do something?"
After hearing this, Fang Diyuan and Wen Zhong briefly talked about what happened after they separated, and expressed some of his thoughts and speculations.
"Is that so?" Wen Zhong looked at Yan Duo and said, "In other words, if I kill Yan Duo, then the ghost shirt worn by Li Gui will be invalid immediately, right? This is quite convenient."
As soon as these words came out, Yan Duo's face immediately darkened. He was not sure whether Wen Zhong was joking in this situation. (End of chapter)
