2357 The devil follows (1)
The moment he saw the corpse and smiled, the middle-aged cultivator felt as if his blood had frozen.
An indescribable fear rose from his heart and quickly spread throughout his body.
Although he was a cultivator and was used to seeing strange scenes, this was the first time he had seen such a scene.
Under normal circumstances, a dead person would be a pile of rotten meat, and it would not take long for them to gradually dissolve due to corruption.
The rules of the cycle of life and death were applicable to most planes, especially in lower planes.
It was almost impossible to bring the dead back to life. Perhaps only the gods in the legends could do it.
As for ghosts reincarnating in another’s body, this kind of situation also existed, but they simply couldn’t last for too long.
Ghosts weren’t everywhere, but they could only be born by chance, especially in low-energy technology planes.
Those evil ghosts that could reincarnate in another’s body were far rarer than heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but they were also very powerful.
If one didn’t have enough strength, it was best not to provoke them easily. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The middle-aged cultivator misunderstood and thought that the body that had been bitten and resurrected by the venomous snake was possessed by an evil ghost.
The originally mysterious forest environment was enough to give people a headache, and now there were evil ghosts and the like, which simply gave people a headache.
He didn’t even need to think to know that this thing was definitely up to no good by following behind the group.
Although he didn’t get along well with his fellow disciples, he had to give them a warning at this moment, which might lead to unsalvageable consequences.
The middle-aged cultivator did not wish for his fellow disciples to be in danger. If that was the case, who could save him?
After realizing this, the middle-aged cultivator immediately picked up the communication compass and started to chant.
At the same time, he pointed his finger like a knife and inserted the heaven and earth energy into the communication compass. He quickly typed in the active characters on it.
He entered a sentence and then looked up in front of him, hoping that the cultivator in the short-coat who was operating the communication compass could see it.
After about a minute, the cultivator’s expression changed slightly, and he stared at the communication compass.
It was obvious that he had seen the message sent by the middle-aged cultivator and knew that the team was in danger. He should be able to find a solution soon.
Just this one-minute delay was truly a headache, because in this short period of time, new changes had already occurred.
……
The cultivator in the short-coat stared at the communication compass, not daring to move his eyes for a moment to avoid missing the new information.
At this moment, he had a heavy responsibility. He was shouldering the task of guiding the entire team. If he made a mistake, it was very likely to bring a huge crisis to the team.
It was as if they were facing an abyss. They were trembling with fear and couldn’t even take a wrong step.
However, after the middle-aged cultivator sent a message, there was no new message for a long time. This made the cultivator in the short-coat extremely frustrated.
Looking at the confusing illusions around him, he became more and more careful, for fear of being caught up in the energy turbulence.
Just as he was feeling extremely nervous, the metal runes on the communication compass, which had been silent all this time, began to swim quickly like tadpoles.
When the metallic rune stopped moving … In the center of the communication compass, a circle of metal characters was arranged neatly.
“Be careful, there’s an evil spirit following behind the group!”
The information obtained after deciphering the runes shocked the cultivator in the short coat. He suddenly turned his head and looked at the back of the group.
When the crowd behind him saw this, they couldn’t help but be stunned at the same time. They didn’t understand what he was trying to do.
The old woman frowned slightly and looked at the cultivator in the short coat. She squinted and asked, ” what’s the matter? did something happen? ”
The young man in the suit and The Woman in Black were also nervous. They could see a trace of surprise and fear on the cultivator’s face.
third brother just sent us a notification. He said that there’s an evil spirit following behind our team!
Hearing the cultivator’s answer, everyone was shocked again, especially the mercenaries who were following behind.
Ever since they entered the forest, they had seen a series of strange things and had long been extremely nervous.
Now, every step he took was filled with fear.
The companions who had been bitten by the poisonous snakes and died for no reason made them even more vigilant, afraid that they would encounter such an unlucky thing.
When they heard that there was an evil spirit behind the group, the mercenaries immediately turned their guns and looked around nervously.
In the end, after staring for a long time, there was no sign of the evil spirit at all. Instead, the constantly changing light and shadow made people feel like they had seen a ghost.
“Safe!”
Someone said in a low voice, which eased the tense atmosphere.
“There’s no ghost, it’s just a false alarm.”
A mercenary at the back of the group heaved a sigh of relief and looked at his companion beside him, saying with a smile.
His companion didn’t say anything. He just lowered his head, thinking about something.
“What’s wrong with you?”
After seeing his companion’s appearance, the mercenary felt that something was wrong. A faint sense of uneasiness rose in his heart.
His companion didn’t answer. His head was still lowered, as if his soul had left his body.
The feeling of uneasiness grew stronger and stronger. The mercenary subconsciously wanted to take a look and figure out who this strange guy was.
At that moment, he saw black and stinky blood slowly oozing out of the man’s swollen leg that was originally covered by the grass.
After seeing this, the mercenary’s eyes widened as if he had been struck by lightning.
At this moment, how could he not recognize the other party’s identity? it was also because of this that he was extremely shocked.
what’s going on? aren’t you already dead? ”
what’s wrong? ” the mercenary asked subconsciously. Then, he realized that something was wrong and quickly retreated.
This was because he remembered what the cultivator in the short coat had said. There was an evil ghost following behind their team!
Perhaps this dead companion was the evil ghost that the cultivator in short-robe had mentioned. Otherwise, how could a dead guy follow the team?
Unfortunately, he realized it a little too late. As he was retreating, his silent companion suddenly looked up.
His swollen and blackened face was filled with a thick aura of death, and his black and gray eyes revealed an indescribable evil.
“Si si si …”
The dead mercenary suddenly raised his arms and pounced over like a zombie.
The retreating mercenaries saw this and quickly raised their guns to shoot, trying to stop the corpse from approaching.
Under normal circumstances, even if the safety of a mercenary’s weapon was opened, it would be turned to single-shot mode to avoid greater danger if it went off.
However, no matter if it was a single shot or a continuous shot, it did not seem to alleviate the crisis in front of him, because the dead mercenary was not afraid of the bullets at all.
After being shot several times, the dead mercenary grabbed his companion’s shoulder and bit his neck.
The change happened in a very short time. By the time the other mercenaries came to their senses, the bodies had already pushed their companions to the ground.
No one dared to step forward to rescue him, but the mercenary leader was decisive. He raised his gun and shot at the corpse’s head.
After a few crisp gunshots, the stinky corpse collapsed to the ground and no longer moved.
As for the mercenary who had been pounced on earlier, his face was now covered in blood and brain matter. His mouth was wide open, and his eyes were wide open without any life in them.
