C6 The Five Ghosts Do Not Approach Anyone

The moment Zhu Yan's voice faded, the stone room became unusually quiet.

Sheng Lianshan raised the torch in a comical manner, but his head turned to look at Zhu Yan's face. He saw Zhu Yan's face slowly turn pale. Sweat slowly emerged from his forehead. His eyes seemed to be fixed on Zhu Yan's back.

At this moment, even a fool could guess what had happened.

Sheng Lianshan did not turn around immediately. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked back slowly and imperceptibly. The torch in his hand was also slowly retracted. His other hand was slowly reaching for the sword on his back.

But before he could finish this series of actions, the fire lit up his back. He saw something behind him out of the corner of his eye.

It was an upside-down face that had reached down from the ceiling of the stone room and was looking at him in confusion.

This face was very strange. Its skin was purple and purple. It was wrinkled and stuck to the bones like a dried corpse. There were no eyeballs in its narrow eyes. It was deathly pale, but it could still clearly feel that its eyes were focused on the back of Sheng Lianshan's head. Its messy hair was hanging upside down. If it wasn't for its nose and mouth as a reference, it would have thought that it was a beard at first glance.

His entire face was filled with an evil aura, which made Sheng Lianshan's hair stand on end. He didn't dare to act rashly.

The situation had become very bad.

What surprised Sheng Lianshan even more was that his face actually moved first.

It seemed to be attracted by the fire in Sheng Lianshan's hand. The face slowly reached towards Sheng Lianshan. A rotten smell immediately entered his nose, making him subconsciously frown. As it got closer and closer, The body hidden in the darkness behind his face also appeared under the light of the fire. The strange shape immediately made Sheng Lianshan's hair stand on end. Cold sweat poured down his back.

He saw half of his body. His dried skin stuck to his bones like a dried corpse, but there was no lower half of his body.

What was even more terrifying was that this thing had more than one hand.

The flesh on its shoulder was completely cut off, leaving only a blur. Right at this blurry expanse of shoulder, four pairs of arms of varying thickness and length were forcefully inserted into it. These arms were linked together in some unknown way. They were actually able to move freely, making this monster look like a strange spider that was made up of half of its body.

And it was precisely because of these few arms that this monster, although it didn't have a lower body, could casually hang on top of the stone room.

Sheng Lianshan looked at the monster's body with an ashen face. He could not help but recall the few ghost shadows he saw in the dark night. No wonder those Strange Shadows moved and crouched together. Their condition was very strange. It turned out that the Five Ghostss were all like this.

However, there was no black Qi surrounding this monster's body. This seemed to be different from what he had seen before.

When he was sizing up the monster with a tensed face, the monster was getting closer and closer to the torch. That face and body that were filled with evil energy were almost touching his body.

In a very short time, Sheng Lianshan thought of several ways to get rid of the threat of the monster. At the same time, he could draw his sword and cut off its head. However, he did not dare to move, because there was a problem with every method. That was, it would create a loud noise, and he did not know what these monsters were capable of. He didn't know how many of these monsters were above his head.

While he was hesitating, the monsters suddenly realized something and turned to look at him.

Under the flickering light of the torch, the monster's face was facing Sheng Lianshan face to face. Its pale eyes stared at him as if it was looking at an interesting toy.

Then, its mouth suddenly opened slowly, and it opened wider and wider.

Under Sheng Lianshan's gaze, the skin on both sides of its mouth was torn apart. Its lower jaw stretched out to a shocking extent, until its mouth was large enough to swallow a person's head. Then, a tongue that looked like a meat worm slowly extended out along with the disgusting mucus. It twisted strangely in midair and even gently touched Sheng Lianshan's cheek.

In the next moment, the monster's throat suddenly trembled. A sharp laughter and a sentence came out.

"Hehe, so it's you!"

All the dead silence was broken in an instant. In an instant, the torch landed on the ground and cold air surged.

Sheng Lianshan was shocked by this strange sound and his entire body shook. He could not care much anymore. He shook off the torch and pulled out the sword on his back. The cold light cut through the air and pointed at the monster that was hanging upside down on the top of the stone room.

The monster's reaction was not slow. It immediately retracted its tongue and pounced down from the ceiling of the stone room. Thick black gas surged out of its seven orifices and quickly wrapped around its body like a living creature. It even attacked Sheng Lianshan. It was exactly the same as what it had seen not long ago.

Sheng Lianshan's sword hit the black gas, but it was as useless as hitting water. He knew that this black gas was a little strange. He did not dare to touch it, so he hurriedly lifted his Qi and jumped to the side.

At this time, Zhu Yan, who was behind him, shouted in a trembling voice, "Run! They are all awake!"

Sheng Lianshan was also shocked. He looked up and saw that although it was pitch black, there was indeed a rustling sound that made one's teeth ache in the darkness. The other monsters hanging on the ceiling of the stone room were also woken up. They seemed to be climbing the ceiling.

The monster that landed on the ground also stood up with a few arms of different lengths. It kept circling around Sheng Lianshan, letting out a terrifying laugh from its big mouth.

The situation quickly changed. Sheng Lianshan stared at the monster with a serious expression, while also paying attention to the top. Cold sweat started to appear on his back. His face became darker and darker. Before he could find any flaws, an even worse situation happened.

The monster's black gas rolled up, and the torch that fell to the ground was blown out.

The stone room fell into darkness in an instant, and a terrifying aura immediately filled every inch of space. Sheng Lianshan reacted the moment the fire disappeared. He immediately waved the sword in his hand and formed a ball to protect his body. At the same time, he slowly stepped back.

At the same time, the monster turned into a black shadow with the black gas and rushed towards him. Its two bony hands reached for his chest.

Bang! Bang!

After two crisp sounds, Sheng Lianshan blocked both attacks with his sword. However, he only felt that the monster's arm was as hard as metal. He was forced to stagger by the monster's enormous strength. He did not care about being shocked. Another sound of wind breaking came from the darkness. The other opponent of the monster had already grabbed him.

In the next moment, the long sword in Sheng Lianshan's hand shook. A cloud of hazy air suddenly surged from the sword.

Sword Qi!

In this world, martial arts were divided into external skills and internal skills, and internal skills were called the Qi Gong or the Qi Refining Technique. Those who practiced it could draw qi into their bodies and refine it into true qi. When one cultivated inner skills to a certain stage, one could release this true Qi to form an energy force. The energy of a swordsman was sword Qi.

Sheng Lianshan waved his long sword, and the sword qi slashed at the monster in front of him like a hot knife cutting through butter. It was so sharp that even the ball of black qi could not stop it. However, the monster's reaction was very sharp. When the sword Qi tore apart the black Qi, it jumped up, grabbed the uneven rock, and stuck it to the top.

Sheng Lianshan did not take advantage of the opportunity to pursue. He could not see clearly in the darkness. Moreover, strange sounds kept coming from behind him. Another rushing wind sound grabbed the back of his head.

He used that strange movement technique again. His left shoulder was lowered and he stepped sideways. He turned around and dodged the attack from behind. The monster that attacked him obviously did not expect this change. When it came back to its senses, Sheng Lianshan had already turned to the left and back of the monster. At the same time, a cold light flashed and a sharp hissing sound was heard.

On the other side, a ray of fire suddenly lit up. Zhu Yan curled up in panic at the tunnel entrance. He was the one who took off his clothes and ignited a small fire.

Under the illumination of the fire, Sheng Lianshan saw three similar monsters circling around him, behind him and beside him. One of the monsters had a furious expression on its face. Its left shoulder was covered in blood and flesh. It had one less arm than the other monsters.

That arm was cut off by Sheng Lianshan. It was still twitching on the ground.

Even so, he still had three arms on his shoulder. The other two monsters each had four. It was hard for two fists to fight four hands, not to mention there were eleven in front of him. Sheng Lianshan's expression was still gloomy, and the string in his mind was still taut.

The sudden light of the fire seemed to have provoked three monsters. One of the monsters closest to Zhu Yan immediately turned its head to look at it. A sinister look appeared on its ugly face. With a strange cry, it rushed towards him.

Sheng Lianshan dashed forward. His long sword carried the power of wind and lightning as it stabbed three times in a row. The sharp cold light and fierce aura forced the monster to stop moving immediately.

However, his back was exposed once again. The other two monsters immediately attacked in a group. Several opponents kept grabbing at him. Sheng Lianshan turned around and waved his sword wildly. However, he was in a disadvantageous position. Every time he forced his opponent back, there would be two or three more opponents grabbing at him. His shoulder and arm were quickly scratched and a wound was torn open. The black gas immediately stained the wound and blood gushed out.

"You have to be careful. The Five Ghosts's poison gas can stop the wound from healing. You will die of blood loss!" Zhu Yan screamed at him as he hid in the tunnel.

Sheng Lianshan could not care that much for the time being. He looked around and shouted. This place is too empty, I can't deal with three at the same time. Let's go first, let's go into the tunnel!"

Zhu Yan did not need to finish his sentence. He had already turned around and rushed into the tunnel. Sheng Lianshan shook the sword in his hand with all his might and forced back the hand of a monster. He also turned around and ran towards the tunnel. However, not long after he took a few steps, another monster wrapped in black gas appeared in front of him and blocked his way.

He cursed in his heart. His steps did not slow down, but he turned around and ran towards the tunnel that was as wide as three people when he came.

The black gas around the monster surged. The weak fire on the ground was blown out again, and the surroundings became dark again.

Sheng Lianshan had just entered the tunnel when the three monsters followed him into the tunnel. Only then did he realize that the reason why the tunnel was so wide was to make it easier for these spiders to crawl back and forth.

He covered his wounds and ran forward without looking back. The black gas behind him seemed to be sticking to him as it pursued relentlessly.

Before he could think of a way to escape, his eyes suddenly flashed and a light appeared in front of the tunnel. Following that, a few hazy figures appeared. Sheng Lianshan's expression changed once again when he saw these human figures. His footsteps involuntarily paused.

This was because within these few hazy human figures, there was the figure of a child that he was familiar with.
