"What, did you find anything?" Zuo Lun asked, with a hint of caution in his tone.
"That's right." Lin Yi replied softly, while gently sweeping away the withered leaves in front of him with his right hand.
This movement revealed a dense series of palm prints hidden under the leaves.
The handprints overlapped with the footprints, forming a twisted pattern, as if a group of people had been crawling on the ground.
The people's teacher squatted down and carefully observed these traces, trying to find more clues.
"It looks like there is something wrong with this ghost place. Please be careful." Zuolun reminded, while holding the gun in his hand tightly.
Lin Yi carefully observed the marks on the ground. According to his speculation, these marks should be left by a humanoid monster.
This monster is tall, about two meters tall, with sharp claws and strong limbs. You can imagine that they crawl on the ground very fast.
[Tip: There are still 2 hours until dark, so contractors are asked to find shelter as soon as possible. 】
Just when Lin Yi was about to advance slowly, the sound of Samsara Paradise suddenly appeared.
Obviously, the horror island after dark and the horror island during the day are definitely two different scenes, otherwise this prompt would not appear in the Samsara Paradise.
"Come on, we must find a suitable shelter as soon as possible." Lin Yi urged, with a sense of urgency in his tone.
The three of them rushed through the town, searching for every possible shelter.
However, they found that the houses here had been severely damaged by some kind of monster. They were drafty and dilapidated, and could not be used as shelters at all.
"There is no other choice but to go to the cathedral in the center of the town."
Although Lin Yi was very reluctant, under the current circumstances, they had no better choice.
The three of them quickly walked through the abandoned town and arrived at the door of the cathedral.
Lin Yi was surprised to find that there was an open lock hanging on the door. The traces of use on the lock showed that someone seemed to be using the door recently.
He gently opened the door, and the iron door made a creaking sound, which echoed in the empty town, making it particularly harsh.
Now that the sound had been made, Lin Yi no longer hesitated. He held the black and white rose and strode into the church, ready to face any situation that might arise.
Pushing open the heavy door, Lin Yi was surprised to find that the scenery inside the church was in sharp contrast to the desolation outside.
The interior of the church is like a warm haven. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the stained glass windows shine brightly, adding a touch of mystery to this abandoned place.
When they reached the altar of the church, they saw an old priest.
The old priest was wearing a simple priest's robe and a black priest's hat. His face was kind and his eyes revealed wisdom and compassion.
Although the years have left ravines on his face, his eyes still remain clear and deep.
When things go wrong, there must be monsters, especially on this isolated island known as the Terror Island.
The rest of the town was full of dilapidated houses, but this church seemed unusually intact, which made Lin Yi wary.
Lin Yi applied a purification technique on himself, and in an instant, the scene in front of him seemed to have been unveiled and changed drastically.
[You have escaped from the misdirection of perception. 】
The originally warm interior of the church seemed to be completely swallowed up by a dark force.
The stained glass windows on the walls were shattered, and the glass fragments were scattered all over the floor, shining with a strange cold light in the dim light.
The once solemn altar was now stained with blood, as if silently telling the tragic battle that had taken place.
What was even more shocking was that the image of the kind old priest was instantly shattered and turned into a skeleton with a distorted face. Green will-o'-the-wisps flickered in its empty eye sockets, showing the world its resentment and endless pain during its lifetime.
The atmosphere of the entire church instantly became eerie and terrifying, as if the door to hell was open, devouring all life that dared to approach.
Lin Yi remained silent and quietly applied the purification technique to Zuolun and the People's Teacher.
As the light of the purification technique flashed through, the church scene in their eyes gradually returned to reality.
However, the three of them were also veterans among the contractors. Their expressions remained unchanged and did not reveal anything strange, as if they were still immersed in hallucinations.
When the skeleton mistakenly thought it had successfully confused the three people, it gently hooked its hands towards them, trying to use the three people as its nourishment.
Just as the three of them were pretending to be swaying close to the skeleton, the halo under Lin Yi's feet suddenly flashed, and several black sword energies instantly swung out from his hand.
Not to be outdone, the revolver appeared in his palm, and six silver bullets were fired at the skeleton at high speed.
At the same time, the people's teacher raised his hand, and four or five huge fireballs roared towards the skeleton.
The skeleton obviously did not expect this sudden and violent attack.
The next second, a violent explosion occurred where it was located, and several broken bones were scattered around the three people.
A thin plume of black smoke rose from the center of the explosion, hovering in the air for a moment before finally dissipating from the broken windows into the night.
"Let's go. This ghost place is really scary at every step. There are traps everywhere." Lin Yi walked to the remains of the skeleton and carefully inspected it to make sure that it was indeed completely dead before he breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, there were only ten minutes of light left before the sun set.
The three of them did not dare to waste any time and quickly launched a search inside the church.
Soon, Zuo Lun and the People's Teacher discovered a secret room covered with spells on the second floor.
The doors, windows, and even walls of this house are densely covered with various charms.
At the same time, the prompt from Samsara Paradise sounded.
[The hunter has found a shelter, please enter the shelter after dark. 】
Seeing the prompt, the three of them quickly walked into the shelter without saying anything.
The room was dim, but their attention was quickly attracted by the densely packed talismans on the walls.
These spells are composed of obscure words and complicated patterns, and they seem to contain some mysterious power.
As night falls, endless thick fog quietly fills the air, and the entire island is shrouded in haze.
The monsters on the island began to move around, and they poked their heads out from hidden dark corners.
The ground began to tremble, and with bursts of rustling sounds, countless cave humanoid reptiles emerged from the cracks in the ground.
The bodies of these creatures are covered with hard scales, and their dark brown or black appearance makes them easy to spot in the darkness of the cave.
Their heads have lizard-like features and their eyes are large and sharp, allowing them to easily capture the movements of prey even in dim environments.
Their limbs are long and powerful, with sharp claws on their fingertips, which are powerful tools for climbing and hunting in caves.
These reptile monsters opened their fangs and hissed, apparently smelling the scent left by Lin Yi and his group on the ground.
They followed these faint breaths all the way to the vicinity of the church.
