Chapter 238 Capturing Will-O'-the-Wisp, Encountering Players?

Chen Ye came to the end of this [Lightless Land] after passing through the square full of corpse sculptures.

Going further, there is a mud wall.

There is no other way.

Apart from those standing sculptures with incomplete bodies, there is nothing worth exploring nearby.

Including the "raw materials" that can be used to make [Horror Sculptures], Chen Ye used the Mountain and River Scroll to collect some of them. If he gets more interesting materials next, these corpses will be enough.

Looking around, except for the bloody centipede, no other insects were seen.

It may be because the breath emitted by the bloody centipede when it died scared away other insects.

Seeking benefits and avoiding harm... It's a commonplace.

"The little guy over there, leave!" Chen Ye came to the door and shouted to Yu Xian, who was still looking left and right at the group of sculptures.

"Master, are you finally leaving!" Yu Xian's eyes bloomed with a strange look.

In order to overcome the fear in his heart, he used the "face fear method" and stared at the sculptures repeatedly to get used to the owner's hobbies.

However... these sculptures are not at the same level as the [Horror Sculpture] made by Chen Ye himself.

Ever since seeing the stitched "Giant View", Yuxian felt that these sculptures were not scary at all. In contrast, they looked like little cuties.

When he was about to exit, Chen Ye glanced at the ghost fire hanging above, and his mind moved, trying to contain it with the mountain scroll.

However, after he drew the ghost fire completely, he found that it had no effect.

The ghost fire still condensed the suspended dome, emitting a dark light.

Using the eye of luck, you can see that the gray fog lines around the ghost fire spread silently to the depths of the underground world, as if connected to some existence.

It's like an invisible thing, and it will not be collected by the mountain scroll.

Chen Ye frowned and analyzed:

"This will-o'-the-wisp has no entity, but a virtual body, so it cannot be contained by the mountain scroll?"

"Since it is not real, is it related to the soul?"

"Maybe..."

"I can try to see if I can collect the will-o'-the-wisp by playing it."

Reaching into his pocket, Chen Ye took out the "white flute", put it to his mouth, and played the [Soul-crossing Sound].

The ethereal melody came out, echoing in this vast underground world, and the echoes were lingering and endless.

The will-o'-the-wisp suddenly swayed violently.

"Effective?"

Chen Ye's mind moved.

My idea was indeed correct!

Since the will-o'-the-wisp is not a physical body and lingers in this world, is it related to the spirit?

Of course, after this performance, Chen Ye can be sure that the will-o'-the-wisp is not a simple spirit, and it seems to have other characteristics.

If it is played with the [Soul-crossing Sound], it can indeed have a slight effect, but it is not effective enough.

The gray mist suspended around the will-o'-the-wisp seemed to be bound to some existence.

Unless this binding can be removed...

Otherwise, any attempt will be in vain.

"Any other characteristics related to mental power that can have an effect on the will-o'-the-wisp?"

"[Scorching Sun Prayer Scroll]... doesn't seem to work. This thing is a product of the scorching sun, and the will-o'-the-wisp looks very evil. The two properties are conflicting... What's more, in this 'lightless land', the scroll can't play a role at all. Even the mountain scroll can't contain it, let alone this thing!"

"In addition, there are also scissors of [Devil Executioner] that can have an impact."

"But if you cut the will-o'-the-wisp, the fire will be gone, and it's useless..."

"It seems that the only thing left is [Devil Contract]?"

Chen Ye's mind moved, and he suddenly closed his eyes and concentrated his mind.

Under the guidance of his mind, in the void in front of him, a dark scroll slowly took shape in the void.

Observing with the pupil of luck, a gray-white line was separated from the contract, vaguely connected with the ghost fire above.

Could it be that...

These two can produce some chemical reaction?

But how to apply it?

Chen Ye frowned and thought: "One is the contract, and the other is fire..."

"Wait, the contract has the property of binding the spirit. If it is burned with fire, the characteristics inside will be released outward at the moment of burning..."

"Take this opportunity to cut off the connection between the ghost fire and the gray-white mist with scissors, maybe there will be a chance?"

A specific idea emerged in his mind, and Chen Ye's eyes lit up, realizing that there seemed to be a way out!

"Go!"

He moved his mind and immediately called the contract, which turned into a faint light in the air and escaped into the ghost fire.

Boom! !

As expected, the paper met the fire and was immediately burned to ashes.

Both are products of the same origin and made by the spirit...

At that moment, when the will-o'-the-wisp burned the [Devil's Contract], a pale flame immediately erupted.

At this moment...

Chen Ye suddenly discovered that the gray-white mist connected to the will-o'-the-wisp shook violently for a few times, and the connection with the underground world became less stable!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he immediately took out the "Fried Griffin" from the Mountain and River Scroll, swallowed it, and obtained the wings of the Griffin.

With a step of his left foot, his body suddenly soared into the air.

Bang!

The left hand exploded and turned into a pair of scissors.

In mid-air.

A crescent moon-like blade flashed around the gray mist!

Click! Click!

The gray mist surrounding the will-o'-the-wisp was immediately cut off!

At this time, the will-o'-the-wisp seemed to have turned into an ownerless thing, with a weak thought remaining, floating around, trying to escape.

"This will-o'-the-wisp actually turned into a spirit?" Chen Ye raised his eyebrows slightly.

With his spiritual power, he sensed that there was "consciousness" in this will-o'-the-wisp. Of course, this consciousness was incomparable to human beings. It was ignorant, like an animal with low IQ, and could only act according to instinct.

It seems that because he cut off its connection with the underground world, the "consciousness" was revived. It had a survival instinct and chose to stay away from Chen Ye as quickly as possible.

But Chen Ye spent so much effort and consumed part of his spiritual energy just to win this thing, how could he let the other party escape?

He took out the "white flute", put it to his mouth, and played the "Sound of Soul Crossing" again.

This time, the role of the song is reflected!

The will-o'-the-wisp floated halfway, and suddenly it seemed to be imprisoned by something, and it trembled weakly, as if it was carrying out some kind of resistance.

Chen Ye increased his strength and continued to play the "white flute" in his hand.

Not long after, a white mist suddenly emerged from the will-o'-the-wisp.

The white mist didn't last long and quickly dissipated.

The will-o'-the-wisp was completely motionless, as if it had lost consciousness.

However, the light of the flame gradually became dim, like a candle swaying in the residual wind, which would be extinguished at any time.

Chen Ye quickly used his spirituality to create a contract again and threw it into the will-o'-the-wisp. The next moment, the pale flame jumped upwards, and the fire became brighter, but it still had a tendency to go out.

"I see……"

"This kind of ghost lamp is a soul-inducing lamp, which uses the soul as the medium to burn!"

"If the soul inside is gone, the lamp will naturally go out."

"This ignorant soul of thought is, in a sense, the wick of the ghost lamp."

"Now that the wick has been extinguished by me, I need to add a new wick..."

Chen Ye couldn't help but worry. Since the wick is the soul, I can't throw my soul into it and burn myself, right?

Yuxian... that won't work either. This guy has two "magic weapons" given by the devil in his hand, and they are quite useful.

There is another owner behind him, and the situation is more complicated. He cannot just use it to burn firewood...

Well, I don’t know what the boy would think if he knew that he had the idea of ​​using him to add fuel to the fire.

Chen Ye looked around and suddenly found a few rat-shaped gray mist air masses not far away. His eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled in his heart:

"That's right! Aren't these mice perfect for use as wicks?"

Rats are everywhere, and there are more than one.

In order to survive, these mice have signed a devil's contract with themselves and sold their souls to themselves.

Perfect to use as a wick for a ghost lamp!

Moreover, even if it becomes a wick, the effect of the contract is still effective!

In this way...

You can have an obedient ghost lamp yourself!

Thinking of this, Chen Ye immediately sent a message with his spiritual thoughts and called the nearest mouse to come over.

The mouse was so ignorant that he thought there was something delicious to eat.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he climbed in front of Chen Ye, he was thrown directly into the will-o'-the-wisp.

"grumble!"

The mouse let out a wailing sound, and its gray mist air mass immediately dissipated and merged with the ghost lantern.

In an instant, the pale flame gradually squirmed and turned into the form of a mouse.

The mouse had a doubtful look in its eyes, and it took on a new form, still keeping the appearance of a mouse, crawling around.

Chen Ye's mouth twitched: "It's really easy to change a country, but it's hard to change one's nature!"

A mouse is a mouse, and a beast is a beast. Even if it turns into a will-o'-the-wisp, it can't change the dog's nature of eating shit.

now.

Chen Ye has a mouse-like ghost lamp.

Due to the connection with the [Devil Contract], the rat ghost lantern will be controlled by Chen Ye's thoughts.

It's just that this mouse is stupid. If you don't pay attention, it will run away from here.

But anyway...

With such a ghost lamp, you can go to the next "lightless place" again and have a source of lighting!

After doing all this, Chen Ye finally left this "lightless land" with satisfaction.

He looked at the [Wanderer Map] floating in his mind. There were four "lightless places" within half an hour nearby.

Of course, the green "lightless land" has been explored.

Of the four that are relatively close to here, three are marked red, one is marked blue, and there is no green.

"Let's go to the blue place and take a look first."

Chen Ye murmured, then walked through the cave tunnel and hurried towards the blue "lightless land".

He did not intend to stay in the underground world all the time to explore. He wanted to return to the "Integrity Restaurant" as soon as possible before the end of the day and hand over the honey in his hand to Wang Jing.

Da da da!

Suddenly, there was a sound of light footsteps in the deep tunnel.

The footsteps seemed to have deliberately lowered the voice, showing strong vigilance.

Ordinary Aboriginal people would not act like this!

Chen Ye frowned slightly and looked towards the footsteps. Suddenly, he saw the outline of a figure with a double-barreled shotgun tied around his waist, walking towards him.

He immediately realized the other party's identity...

"Is it a player?"
