Chapter 225: Driving the tiger away from the mountain
The three of them walked through a quiet forest, and the fallen leaves under their feet made a rustling sound.
The moonlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows, like a mysterious painting.
A breeze blew by, bringing a slight chill that made people shiver.
Lin Feihong led them to track down a wooden house hidden deep in the woods.
The wooden house looked very dilapidated, as if it had experienced countless years of baptism. The weeds were overgrown around it, almost half covering the house.
Lin Feihong pushed the door open carefully. The room was filled with an old and decayed smell. As he expected, it was empty inside with only some dust flying in the moonlight.
"Damn, these bastards are running pretty fast!"
Lin Feihong was so angry that he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet hard, and the wooden board under his feet made a "creaking" sound of protest.
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong yin energy suddenly came from outside, causing the temperature around him to drop sharply in an instant.
Chen Yile and Lin Feihong's alertness was instantly raised to the maximum. They looked at each other quickly, and then through the window, they saw a wet female ghost floating in front of them.
The ghost girl's hair was wet and stuck to her face, covering most of her features, leaving only a pair of eyes emitting a faint green light.
Her white dress fluttered in the wind, as if it would blend into the night at any time, looking extremely eerie and terrifying.
Chen Yile turned around and said to Zhao Qianqian gently but firmly, "Qianqian, hide in the house. I don't sense any strong evil spirits here, so it shouldn't be too dangerous. Lin Feihong and I will go out and deal with it."
Zhao Qianqian nodded obediently, her eyes full of worry, but she still said, "Be careful."
Chen Yile and Lin Feihong walked out of the wooden house. Chen Yile took out the demon-subduing pestle without hesitation and held it tightly in his hand, ready to deal with the female ghost's attack at any time.
The female ghost didn't say anything, but suddenly stretched out her hands, her sharp nails flashing coldly, and pounced towards them.
Lin Feihong quickly chanted a spell, and the talisman sword in his hand shone with golden light. He shouted, "Evil creature, stop being so presumptuous!"
As he spoke, the talisman sword stabbed towards the female ghost.
The female ghost dodged to the side at an extremely fast speed and instantly appeared behind Lin Feihong, attempting a sneak attack.
Chen Yile was quick-witted and swift-handed. He swung the demon-subduing pestle and a beam of light shot towards the female ghost, forcing her to give up attacking Lin Feihong and instead deal with Chen Yile's attack.
The female ghost let out a shrill scream, waved her hands, and a black evil energy swept towards the two of them.
Lin Feihong took the Seven Star Steps and danced the talisman sword in his hand quickly, drawing talismans one after another to block the negative energy in front of him.
Chen Yile took the opportunity to use thunder magic. Thunder roared in the sky and several lightning bolts struck the female ghost.
The female ghost dodged left and right in the lightning, but was still hit, and black smoke came out of her body.
But the female ghost did not retreat, instead she attacked even more frantically.
Her figure became vague and elusive.
Chen Yile and Lin Feihong stood back to back and worked closely together.
Lin Feihong kept throwing out talismans, which turned into flames, ice, and lightning, trying to restrict the female ghost's movements.
Chen Yile seized the opportunity and released powerful force with the demon-subduing pestle, repelling the female ghost's attacks time and time again.
The female ghost suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Lin Feihong.
Lin Feihong was unable to dodge and was scratched on the arm by the female ghost's nails.
Chen Yile roared angrily, his eyes gleaming with light, and the fourth level of his psychic eye was activated, instantly seeing through the ghost girl's movements.
He suddenly lunged forward, pressed the demon-subduing pestle against the ghost girl's chest, and chanted Taoist spells.
The female ghost struggled painfully, trying to break free from the restraints of the demon-subduing pestle.
Lin Feihong endured the pain and swung the talisman sword again. A powerful sword energy slashed straight at the female ghost.
Under the combined attack of the two, the female ghost could no longer hold on and her figure gradually dissipated.
Lin Feihong wiped the sweat from his forehead and panted, saying, "Finally, it's solved. This female ghost is quite powerful. If it weren't for our tacit cooperation, it would be really difficult to deal with her."
Chen Yile looked at the direction where the female ghost disappeared and said thoughtfully: "The appearance of this female ghost is too strange. I'm afraid it is related to the geopolitical organization. Maybe they deliberately arranged it to delay us."
After the two dealt with the female ghost, they hurried back to the cabin and called Zhao Qianqian.
However, Zhao Qianqian was nowhere to be seen in the house.
"No, I was careless!"
Chen Yile frowned and his face turned gloomy in an instant.
Lin Feihong also looked nervous and looked around, "There must be something strange in this room."
Chen Yile carefully observed the environment inside the house and suddenly found that there was something wrong with the gap in the floor.
He pushed hard, and a hidden basement entrance appeared before his eyes.
"Sure enough, the person probably didn't leave. He hid in this basement and took Qianqian away."
Chen Yile said through gritted teeth.
The two walked into the basement without hesitation.
The basement was filled with a damp and moldy smell. There were several dim oil lamps hanging on the wall, and the light flickered, casting strange shadows.
The ground was wet and water was accumulating in some places.
"Qianqian!"
Chen Yile shouted loudly.
Lin Feihong carefully looked around, "There's an evil aura in this place, let's be careful."
The two continued walking forward and found another underground passage.
The passage was narrow and deep, filled with thick fog, making it impossible to see ahead.
"Where the hell does this lead to?"
Lin Feihong muttered to himself.
Chen Yile was extremely anxious. "No matter where it leads, we must find Qianqian."
They walked cautiously along the passage, and from time to time they heard faint strange sounds in their ears, as if something was peeping at them in the darkness.
Chen Yile and Lin Feihong held their weapons tightly and walked cautiously along the narrow and deep passage.
The fog was like thick milk, spreading all around and tightly enveloping their vision.
The passage was filled with a pungent, rotten smell that made one sick. Strange lights flickered on the walls, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.
Suddenly, a sinister laugh echoed in the passage. Chen Yile and Lin Feihong stopped immediately, their bodies tense.
"Be careful, there are evil spirits!" Lin Feihong whispered. As soon as he finished speaking, a group of twisted evil spirits slowly emerged from the mist.
Some were hideous demons with green faces, fangs, and bloodthirsty eyes, while others were stiff-limbed zombies with rotting skin and a foul stench.
Chen Yile swung the demon-subduing pestle without hesitation, and a ray of light shot out instantly, hitting an evil ghost.
Lin Feihong was not to be outdone. He danced the talisman sword in his hand like flying, and talismans flew out like meteors.
"The power of these evil spirits cannot be underestimated. We must be careful when dealing with them!" Chen Yile said loudly.
Lin Feihong nodded and responded, "Don't worry, even if the evil spirits are fierce, we will definitely be able to kill them and find Zhao Qianqian!"
The evil spirits attacked again, faster and more ferociously.
Chen Yile and Lin Feihong worked closely together and displayed their respective abilities.
