"Based on this layout, the entire Shensha Ancient City is probably the outskirts of the former emperor's mausoleum. I'm afraid that the route we have taken all the way here has been guided by those ghosts in the dark, moving step by step towards an unknown imperial mausoleum."

"What?!" Cheng Long was surprised.

Wu Jing also frowned: "So, from the moment we entered the ancient city, we have already entered this unknown tomb?"

Lin Qiye did not answer, but silently stroked the divine jade seal in his arms, as if thinking about something.

The group walked deeper and deeper into this strange atmosphere.

The surrounding buildings became more majestic, yet more eerie.

When they reached a wide intersection, a cold wind suddenly blew.

"hiss"

In the cold wind, there were a few shrill screams, like crying and complaining, which made people shudder!
"Are those ghosts again?!" Fairy Liu turned pale with fright.

"No, it's not that simple!" Wu Jing's pupils shrank and he felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.

"Look out! Something's coming!"

Lin Qiye suddenly raised his head and looked in one direction.

On the horizon, a charred shadow was rapidly growing larger!
In less than a moment, the black shadow had already passed over everyone's heads.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a huge human face!

Yes, it’s a human face!
A face as big as a house, hideous and covered with scars!

That face was half human, half ghost, with gray skin, as if he had died from torture.

"what!!!"

Yang Mi and Liu Xiannv already screamed.

"Back off!"

Lin Qiye shouted loudly and picked up the black gold ancient sword.

At the same time, a huge mouth suddenly opened and bit towards Lin Qiye!
The mouth was full of charred gums and emitted a disgusting stench!
"when!"

Lin Qiye held the knife in one hand and attacked the mouth!
With a crisp "puff" sound, the huge head was instantly split into two halves!
The dark blue blood splattered everywhere, covering the ground!

"So disgusting!" Fairy Liu had already vomited.

"Be careful! Its body is still there!"

Wu Jing yelled.

I saw that under the severed half of the head, there was actually a charred and broken cervical vertebra!

And under the cervical vertebrae, a body that looked like charcoal could be vaguely seen, crawling towards this side rapidly!
"What is this?!"

Cheng Long was horrified.

It was a corpse with only a skeleton left, burned black and emitting a burnt stench of death!

This is not an ordinary wandering soul, it is clearly a real zombie!
"It's corpse refining! What did these damned Shensha people do?!" Lin Qiye's eyes flashed with anger.

He clasped his hands together, and the inner energy in his body surged.

Ever since entering the Ancient City of Shensha, he had sensed a faint aura of death that followed him like a shadow.

I just didn’t expect to encounter such an evil thing here!
"Get out of my way!"

Before the roar ended, Lin Qiye had already rushed out.

The true energy in his body surged and turned into a black whirlwind, shooting towards the corpse!

boom!
A shocking blow!
Before the corpse could react, it was hit by an overwhelming force of energy!
There was a crisp sound of broken bones, and the charred skeleton finally turned into debris on the ground!
Lin Qiye fell to the ground, breathing heavily.

A little cold sweat also broke out on his forehead.

“The aura of these refined corpses is extremely sinister, and ordinary weapons can hardly hurt them at their roots! If anyone else had taken it head-on just now, I’m afraid…” His face was solemn, and his eyes swept over his frightened companions.

"Qi Ye, where exactly is this place?!" Yang Mi's voice trembled.

Lin Qiye looked around and said slowly, "It seems that we have entered an extremely evil forbidden place. In this country of gods and demons, everyone is probably practicing some incredible forbidden techniques before and after death. Those forbidden techniques should have been learned in this mysterious ancient city. No wonder this ancient city is so weird and full of evil spirits."

As he spoke, his brows knitted tightly. “If the ancient city’s royal mausoleum is also here, it would be even more dangerous. We must be vigilant and not be careless.”

"Do we need to go deeper?" Fairy Liu trembled.

"We can only move forward! There is no way to retreat!" Lin Qiye said firmly.

He turned his head and looked in the direction he came from, only to see that at some point, the entire ancient city was shrouded in a strange black fog!
The mist was thick as ink and flowed slowly, as if it had life.

From a distance, the entire Shensha Ancient City seemed to have turned into a huge black hole, emitting a spooky and eerie aura that was creepy.

"What is this?" Wu Jing looked solemn.

"It seems that something is stopping us from moving forward." Just as Lin Qiye finished speaking, another gust of cold wind blew past.

The horrifying howl was heard again in the wind, like that of a ghost or wild cat, never ending.

"Hurry! Let's keep going!" Lin Qiye made a prompt decision and took the lead to move forward.

Everyone was stunned, but they had no choice but to follow.

In this dangerous situation, they have no choice but to retreat.

The deeper you go into the black fog, the more bizarre and terrifying the surrounding scenery becomes.

"Watch your step!"

Cheng Long suddenly exclaimed.

But on the bluestone roads on both sides, hideous ghost faces gradually appeared!
Those ghost faces had distorted facial features, green faces and fangs, and all of them exuded evil spirit.

What's even more bizarre is that they seem to be slowly wriggling, like living creatures!
"Give me the copper coins to suppress evil!" Lin Qiye threw out several copper coins.

With a few crisp "crackling" sounds, the copper coins actually nailed the ghost face to the stone slab.

Those ghost masks let out shrill howls, struggled for a moment, and finally stopped moving.

"The evil energy here is too strong. Ordinary magic weapons may not be able to suppress it. Everyone should be careful." Lin Qiye warned.

But before he finished speaking, a black light suddenly shot out from the black fog ahead!
With a "bang", it hit a stone pillar in front of Yang Mi, smashing it into pieces and sending countless pieces of gravel flying.

"Ah——!" Yang Mi screamed and stepped back repeatedly.

Lin Qiye's face changed, he picked up the ancient knife and slashed forward.

With a crisp "ding" sound, the black light was actually knocked away.

With the help of the firelight, everyone could see clearly: it was a pitch-black arrow, emitting a dim light and a pungent corpse stench.

"It's a dark arrow!" Lin Qiye frowned, "It seems that we have entered the guard area of ​​the imperial mausoleum. Any living creature that approaches this place will be regarded as an invader!"

Before he finished speaking, a few arrows flew out from the black fog and shot towards several people.

Everyone dodged in a hurry, crying out inwardly that something was wrong.

"There's actually a mechanism in here?!"

"Oh no! Everyone, retreat quickly!"

In a panic, Lin Qiye shouted: "Stop panicking! There is no way to retreat, everyone form a battle array!"

He held a knife in one hand, stood at the front, and began to move around the periphery of the crowd, blocking the arrows for everyone.

Wu Jing, Cheng Long and others did not dare to neglect it either. They all raised their weapons and prepared to meet the enemy. (End of this chapter)
