Chapter 141 - It Wants Your Life
Chapter 141: It Wants Your Life
Yun Qin released Xu Yu and the greedy ghost. Xu Yu, who moved even faster, was the first to come back and say, “Both of them are still alive. A large group of bewitching ghosts is chasing them.”
When Yun Qin finally caught up to the two of them, she saw a huge pit in front of them and quickly tried to remind them.
However, she was too late. When she ran up to them, she saw Ma Yue fall into the huge pit.
Fatty surged to the ground and hugged a tree by the edge of the cliff. When he saw Yun Qin run up to him, he shouted, “Quick! Quickly pull him up!”
Fortunately, Ma Yue did not completely fall into the pit because of the safety rope. He was dangling off the safety rope, swaying back and forth in the pitch-black pit.
Seeing that Ma Yue was not in danger for now, Yun Qin felt slightly relieved. She said coldly, “Let me deal with these bewitching ghosts first.”
Following that, Yun Qin gathered her evil energy and began to attack the bewitching ghosts who were attracted to their vitality.
Xu Yu also appeared to help Yun Qin by scratching the bewitching ghosts around her with her long nails.
Fatty, who was hugging the tree trunk tightly, watched Yun Qin attack the ghosts. Suddenly, he saw a long-haired female ghost appear beside Yun Qin. This female ghost looked more terrifying than the human fog shadows, so he immediately shouted, “Ah Ah Ah Ah Master Yun, next to you!!!”
Yun Qin was getting a headache from his shouts, so after she knocked down a bewitching ghost, she raised her hand and cast a gag spell on Fatty. Fatty instantly couldn’t say anything.
“Fatty! Fatty! Pull me up!”
Ma Yue recovered his consciousness after a moment of shock. Quickly, he realized that his entire body was suspended in midair and was only supported by a safety rope. Because he cut through a few strands of the rope, the safety rope was slightly slanted, and he kept swaying in the air.
Seeing that Fatty did not respond and that the rope did not move at all, Ma Yue calmed down and tried his best to raise his head to look above him.
For some unknown reason, the thick fog that was originally so thick that one could barely see the road conditions under their feet dissipated significantly above the huge pit. Ma Yue was holding a flashlight, and he could see the bottom of the pit.
When Ma Yue saw what was at the bottom of the pit, he was so shocked that he almost dropped his flashlight.
After Yun Qin absorbed all the bewitching ghosts, she finally turned around and looked at Fatty who was still hugging the tree trunk behind her.
At this moment, because Fatty could not speak, his eyes were brimming with tears and the fat on his face was squeezed together. He had a mournful expression as if he was accusing Yun Qin.
Yun Qin glanced at Xu Yu who was floating beside her and only then did she realize that Fatty saw Xu Yu. With a wave of her hand, she put the restless Xu Yu back into the Soul Bead. Then she crouched down and said to Fatty, “Did you see that female ghost just now?”
Fatty nodded fiercely, indicating that he did.
“Either you shut up or forget about her. I don’t want to cause any other trouble, understand?”
Fatty nodded fiercely again, his face full of desire to live.
“If you don’t keep your mouth shut, I’ll send her to take your life,” Yun Qin pretended to threaten him fiercely.
Her threat was effective on Fatty. He nodded desperately in fear, expressing that he would never betray Yun Qin. There was a hint of respect in his eyes.
“Don’t talk, work.” After saying that, Yun Qin removed the gag spell on Fatty. Then, she grabbed the rope and helped him pull.
Fatty was also obedient. Without saying a word, he gritted his teeth and pulled Ma Yue up.
However, after Ma Yue came up, his entire body went limp. It took him a long time to recover his strength.
“I told you we shouldn’t untie the rope. It’s all thanks to me, otherwise, your life would be in danger.”
After he was sure that he was safe, Fatty immediately cheered up. He even joked with Ma Yue who was still on the ground.
Ma Yue panted a few times and ignored Fatty. Instead, he looked at Yun Qin with a complicated expression and said, “Look over there…”
After saying that, he pointed at the bottom of the huge pit.
Yun Qin stuck her head out and shone her flashlight down the pit. Immediately, she also sucked in a breath of cold air.
At the bottom of the huge pit were layers and layers of bones. The densely packed white bones gave people goosebumps.
There were human bones and animal bones, all big and small. It was unknown how many creatures died here in Black Bear Ridge.
At this moment, there was no evil energy on these skeletons. The bewitching ghosts that lived here and relied on the fog to kill must have absorbed everything.
No wonder when she was hunting down the bewitching ghosts, she realized that every one of them had profound cultivation foundations. They did not act like ordinary low-level bewitching ghosts.
Although a few escaped, it was not a big deal. At the very least, Yun Qin’s group would not be threatened anymore. Yun Qin’s eyes darkened as she walked back to Ma Yue and Fatty and urged, “Let’s go. Zhuang Sen and the others are still waiting.”
