Chapter 527 The Singing Ghost
Ah Xiang shouted in a trembling voice: "Sister Qingting, what should I do?"
Her body unconsciously took a few steps back, her eyes full of fear.
Dragonfly gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be afraid, Brother Chen is behind us, let's take a look at the box first!"
As she spoke, she cautiously reached out her hand towards the box, but did not dare to touch it directly. She just groped around the box, trying to find a mechanism or method to open it. Ah Xiang stood guard nervously on the side, watching the armored rice dumpling approaching vigilantly, her body shaking constantly.
Chen Yile was getting anxious as he watched the two armored dumplings getting closer and closer to Qingting and Ah Xiang.
He chanted the Taoist spell again: "Borrow the magic from the universe, gather the spiritual energy, pierce the sky with the sword, and the evil demons retreat!"
The Tianshi Sword in his hand suddenly shone brightly and turned into a huge sword shadow, slashing towards the two armored dumplings.
The sword shadow carried the momentum of destroying the world. Wherever it passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, making a sharp whistling sound.
The two armored dumplings felt the powerful threat and had to stop and turn around to resist the sword attack.
They raised their arms and roared angrily. The murderous aura on their bodies collided with the sword shadow, erupting with a strong light and roar.
The entire cave was shaken by this force, and the rocks on the top of the cave fell down one after another, as if it would collapse in the next second.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the dragonfly finally touched a dent on the box.
She felt something in her heart and pressed it down hard.
With a "click", a small drawer popped out from the box, and inside lay a puzzle stone emitting a strange light. The light was soft but revealed a mysterious power, which made people know that it was no ordinary thing.
"Found it, Ah Xiang, take it quickly!" Dragonfly shouted excitedly.
Her eyes were full of surprise, and with trembling hands she took out the puzzle stone and handed it to Ah Xiang.
Ah Xiang quickly took it and carefully put away the puzzle stones.
Said: "Sister Qingting, let's go quickly, Brother Chen is still holding on over there!"
She looked at Chen Yile who was in a stalemate with the armored zongzi, her face full of worry.
"Okay, let's go!" Qingting responded, and the two turned and ran out of the cave, shouting as they ran: "Brother Chen, we got it, let's go!"
Chen Yile was delighted when he heard their shouts, knowing that his mission was halfway accomplished. He no longer lingered in the fight, feinted a move, and ran out of the cave, shouting as he ran, "You guys run first, I'll cover you!"
Seeing that Chen Yile and the others were about to run away, the two armored dumplings refused to give up and chased after them with roars. They were running very fast and the distance between them was getting closer and closer.
Chen Yile glanced back, secretly groaning inwardly, and then he used his Taoist magic again, chanting: "The five elements generate each other, the eight trigrams interact, the spiritual barriers appear, and block the enemy's edge!"
He quickly formed seals with his hands, and streams of spiritual power surged out of his hands, turning into a transparent barrier behind him, temporarily blocking the pursuit of the two armored dumplings.
"Hurry up!" Chen Yile shouted and quickened his pace to run out of the cave. After meeting up with Qingting and A Xiang, the three of them did not dare to stop for a moment and ran wildly in the direction they came from. The roars of the two armored dumplings behind them continued to be heard, like a nightmare that followed them everywhere, making people terrified.
They ran desperately in the narrow passage.
The corridor was filled with the sound of their hurried footsteps and heavy breathing.
The stones on the wall scraped their bodies from time to time, leaving wounds, but at this moment they did not care about the pain. They had only one thought in their minds, which was to escape from this dangerous place as soon as possible.
I don’t know how long I ran, but the roars of the two armored dumplings finally faded away.
The three of them then slowed down and leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.
"Brother Chen, this was really dangerous!" Qingting said with lingering fear.
Her face was covered in sweat, her hair was messy and stuck to her cheeks, but amidst her embarrassment, there was a hint of relief at having survived the disaster.
Chen Yile wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled bitterly.
He said, "Yes, but fortunately we got the puzzle stones, so it can be said that all our efforts were not in vain. However, the dangers in this tomb are really hard to guard against, so we have to leave here quickly."
He looked towards the place where Ah Xiang had put it, his eyes full of solemnity. He knew that there might be more unknown dangers behind this puzzle stone, but at this moment he could only move forward to explore the secret behind it.
Ah Xiang nodded.
Said: "Well, Brother Chen, let's go quickly, I don't want to stay in this damn place anymore."
Her voice was still a little weak. After all, she had just experienced such a thrilling life-and-death crisis, and her body and mind were still in a state of high tension.
So, after a short rest, the three of them continued walking towards the exit.
They still looked nervous, always alert to the possible dangers around them. After all, in this mysterious tomb, no one knew what terrible thing they would encounter next.
As we walked, we suddenly heard faint singing coming from the passage ahead.
The song was gentle and melodious, yet it also revealed an indescribable weirdness.
It seems to have a kind of magical power that captivates people, making people want to walk towards the direction where the singing comes from.
"Brother Chen, listen, what is that sound? It's so... so weird!" Dragonfly said in a trembling voice.
Her face turned pale.
His eyes were full of fear.
My body shrank back unconsciously.
Chen Yile frowned.
An ominous feeling welled up in my heart.
He looked ahead warily and said, "I don't know, but it's definitely not something good. Everyone, be careful and don't be fooled by the singing."
His voice was steady and serious, and he tried to remain calm, but the singing seemed to have an invisible force that constantly impacted his mind, making him feel a little difficult to resist.
Ah Xiang held Qingting's arm tightly.
His body was shaking constantly as he said, "Brother Chen, I... I'm so scared. Why don't we take another route?"
Her eyes were full of pleading, she really didn't want to face this unknown danger anymore.
Chen Yile hesitated for a moment, looked around, frowned, and said, "This tomb is full of dangers. Changing the route might not be safe either. Let's go over carefully and see what's going on. If something is really wrong, we can think of another way."
As he spoke, he secretly circulated his spiritual power, trying to make his mind more stable and resist the enchanting power of the song.
The three of them walked cautiously in the direction where the singing came from.
