Chapter 599 She Stays Behind to Cover
Chapter 599 She Stays Behind to Cover
The night was dark, and the moon, like a cunning silver fox, weaved in and out of the clouds. When the moonlight shone, the road was still visible, but when the moon was blocked by the clouds, everything around was dark and pitch black.
On the wilderness trail, the chirping of insects could be heard one after another. A gust of night wind blew by, and the surrounding grass leaves swayed constantly, making a rustling sound.
However, when Si He took out the ghost xiao, a terrifying and appalling aura spread silently, the chirping of insects around him stopped abruptly, and the entire wilderness fell into dead silence.
The carriage in front suddenly ran faster, and the horses they were riding became panicked and restless, running uncontrollably.
They felt relieved when they sensed this familiar yet terrifying aura. Most people had seen the horrific scene that night and knew how dangerous her weapon was.
However, a small number of people were unaware of this, such as the secret guards, doctors, and Yue Fuqi in Changping City. When they sensed this terrifying aura, they felt extremely panicked.
They turned their heads and looked back, and saw that there seemed to be a layer of hazy fog on the dim road, and her figure gradually became blurred in the fog.
When the carriage turned a corner, the curtain was blown up by the wind, and Yue Fuqi in the carriage saw Si He walking alone, slowly on the wilderness path behind. She walked slowly and steadily, and her thin figure seemed to contain powerful energy.
The fog grew thicker, and her figure was gradually submerged in it, like a guide walking in the netherworld, and this entire area was under her control.
After the carriage turned the corner, the curtain dropped and the scene outside could no longer be seen, but the inexplicable shock in Yue Fuqi's heart did not dissipate.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves and people shouting were heard on the official road in the distance, getting closer and closer.
It was the soldiers who were searching nearby who came here one after another after seeing the signal flare!
After a while, a circle of dazzling torches lit up in the dark night, and the sound of galloping horses could be heard from far away.
When they saw the running team on the road ahead from afar, they were like they had discovered prey.
"Quick! Catch them!"
However, just as they finished their words, their horses suddenly neighed in panic and stopped in a hurry. Some horses even raised their front legs high, almost throwing them off!
At this moment, a strange fog spread rapidly from the wilderness, like a surging tide, but silently.
The fog is so dark that the wind cannot blow it away and the light cannot penetrate.
In a blink of an eye, the strange fog submerged the convoy in front. At most, one could hear some faint sounds going away, but could not see anything!
At this moment, they were shocked to realize that the chirping of insects around them had disappeared, and there was an eerie silence.
Especially when the fog spreads, it is accompanied by an inexplicable sense of horror, which makes people feel panic.
They wanted to spur their horses forward, but the horses refused to move forward and even began to move backward!
Seeing this strange scene, they all drew their swords and watched the movements around them vigilantly.
But there was nothing but silence around them. The fog spread to a distance in front of them and then stopped. No one or anything attacked them, as if it was just pure fog.
They all watched cautiously for a while, but still didn't dare to move forward rashly. It was obvious that there was an evil creature causing trouble ahead!
If they rush forward rashly, they will definitely get into trouble and may even lose their lives!
Helplessly, they could only ride their horses to take a detour from the side. In addition, they asked a few people to quickly return to the city to invite the Taoist priest. After all, this situation could only be handled by the Taoist priest.
But the fog spread over a wide area. They took a long detour, but there was still fog floating around, and the detour was not easy to walk on.
On the way, they encountered several waves of their own people, who also came over after noticing the previous flares.
However, as the number of people increased, there were more opinions. Immediately, two teams abandoned their horses, took knives and torches, and tentatively walked into the fog.
Those who walked into the fog were not without support. They all had talismans on them to ward off evil spirits, which could prevent ordinary ghosts from approaching.
After a while, the figures of these people disappeared in the thick fog, and there was no movement afterwards. I don’t know whether they were lost in the thick fog or something happened?
When the people outside saw this, they panicked and quickly retreated a distance. They didn't dare to make any more rash attempts, nor did they go far. They waited for people from the city to be sent out.
……
At another moment, Si He was walking slowly with the ghost flute in her hand. She did not activate the evil spirit in the ghost flute, but just released some of the evil spirit inside by unsealing it.
She tried to use the ghost flute as little as possible so as not to stir up the evil spirits in her body, which allowed her to delay these people without any effort.
The fog was thick and everything around was shrouded in this evil aura, filled with a spooky atmosphere.
There were still some corpses of people and hunting dogs on the road. They were those who had been killed before. The evil spirit was floating around, and the corpses were also tainted with some of the scent.
Fortunately, the evil aura was not very strong at this time, otherwise, these corpses would have mutated in no time.
Si He walked along the road while getting familiar with the control of the ghost xiao.
As she slowly moved forward, the large cloud of fog also slowly floated forward, at the same speed as her walking pace, and was not obvious in the dark night.
After a long time, people outside noticed that the fog was slowly receding. They immediately stared at it vigilantly, and only after they saw no danger did they slowly follow the fog.
Time passed little by little, and after half an hour, the fog had retreated to a considerable distance. At this moment, they also discovered a clue: the fog was not dissipating, but drifting forward!
Seeing this strange situation, their faces were solemn, but they were helpless.
At this time, many reinforcements arrived one after another, and a group of Taoists also hurried over from the city.
When they saw this strange fog, their expressions became solemn, especially the group of Taoists.
After discussing for a while, they took out various treasures and began to eliminate the evil aura.
"Boom boom boom——"
As each treasure was sacrificed, several dazzling lights and fireballs suddenly appeared in the fog. In just a moment, a large part of the fog in front of them was dissipated.
At this moment, the moon came out from behind the clouds, and the moonlight sprinkled down, adding a layer of faint light to the dark night, allowing them to see the situation ahead clearly. The missing large area of fog was particularly obvious.
Seeing this, everyone's complexion improved a little.
However, they were still a little anxious. After all, if they delayed for this long, the other person might have run away!
They were anxiously waiting for the Taoists to dispel the evil spirits and were ready to ride their horses and chase after them at any time.
At this moment, something strange happened in front of us!
The large area of fog that was originally missing recovered strangely and quickly, as if there was a continuous source in front of it, filling the missing area!
