Chapter 306 Arrival at the Small Temple (22)
"What?"
Everyone was surprised when they heard this. Their hearts, which had just relaxed, were lifted up again.
"Don't worry, everyone. Although this ghost is powerful, even if it finds us, we can kill it. It just takes some effort and there is no benefit, so it's better not to make trouble." Li Xiaocheng explained calmly.
"What kind of ghost is it?" Zhang Yunfeng asked with an unpleasant face.
"I don't know, but it's just a relatively powerful evil ghost. And I have a way to minimize the possibility of being discovered by it, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Li Xiaocheng said calmly.
"That's good, I hope that Steward Li doesn't lie, otherwise don't blame us for withdrawing when the time comes." Zhang Yunfeng threatened with a serious face.
"No lie. Besides, if there is really danger, aren't Lord Fan and I afraid?" Li Xiaocheng said solemnly.
Everyone felt a little relieved after hearing this. Of course, they would keep a close eye on them and would never give the two a chance to escape.
Yu Guihai sneered in his heart. He had long eavesdropped on the conversation between the general and Li Xiaocheng. He knew that the so-called ghost was a powerful half-ghost and half-demon named Bailahu. Not only was it powerful, but after killing it, it would also alarm the innate spirit monster sleeping here.
And Li Xiaocheng concealed it, I'm afraid it's not just because he's afraid that everyone will retreat, but he may have other calculations.
Thinking of this, Yu Guihai became more vigilant, and his mind was mostly on Li Xiaocheng and Fan She.
Everyone followed Li Xiaocheng and continued to move forward.
This time the distance they advanced was relatively long. They walked quickly for more than an hour, at least dozens of miles.
This made everyone shocked by the huge underground space here, and many people were secretly happy in their hearts. The larger the place, the more natural treasures it might breed, and the greater the harvest would be when they returned to search.
The fog in front began to thin, until a large rift valley appeared in front of everyone.
The rift was pitch black and you couldn't see far, but there was no fog inside. Everyone stood at one end of the rift. A slope covered with gravel extended into the darkness and led to the bottom of the rift.
"The destination is under this rift. Let's go." Li Xiaocheng explained and walked down the slope first.
Everyone followed.
Yu Guihai looked at the stone walls on the ground around him. Everything here was charred black, as if it had been smoked and burned. There was a strange cold power in the scorched earth.
The rift was not very deep. Soon, everyone came to the bottom of the rift. After walking for a while, they saw a low temple not far away.
The small temple was made of stones and was extremely rough. The colorful colors painted on the outside looked worse than the land temple in the countryside.
However, everyone was as shocked as if they had seen a wonder of the world.
Not for anything else, it was because it was hard to explain to see a small temple here!
Could it be that someone had been here before? But what was the point of them building a small temple?
Everyone was confused and looked at Li Xiaocheng.
Yu Guihai was thinking in his heart. He kept staring at Li Xiaocheng. When he saw the small temple, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"Don't panic, everyone. This small temple is what I called the ghost. It is sleeping now." Li Xiaocheng explained with a smile.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They thought that the so-called powerful ghost should be far away, but they didn't expect that they had come so close.
Everyone hurriedly tried their best to sense it carefully. As expected, they sensed the obscure and strange fluctuations from the small temple. This fluctuation was like the abyss, which was difficult to detect, but it was also as deep and powerful as the abyss. Once it erupted, it was difficult to estimate.
"You want to kill us! Why come so close?" The Tongmai Realm woman asked angrily. Although everyone was not afraid of this ghost together, they were inevitably injured and killed.
"Don't worry. This distance will not alarm it." Li Xiaocheng said calmly.
"Well, you two should go and investigate. The sooner you complete the task, the sooner you can leave." The woman said anxiously.
"No. You still need to do one thing to complete the investigation task." Li Xiaocheng said.
"What is it?" Zhang Yunfeng asked vigilantly.
"Let me tell you the location of the investigation first. Did you see it? There is a cave on the stone wall next to the small temple." Li Xiaocheng pointed to the side of the small temple.
There was indeed a cave on the stone wall there, but the stone wall was only one meter away from the small temple. Such a close distance would definitely be discovered by the ghosts in the small temple.
"How to get there? Do we have to attract the attention of the ghosts?" Zhang Yunfeng looked grim.
"No need. I have a treasure that can deceive the perception of ghosts, but it needs to be within ten meters to be used. So I need you to escort me to within ten meters of the small temple. At that time, I will use the treasure to deceive the ghosts, and Lord Fan will quickly complete the investigation, and then we can retreat safely."
Li Xiaocheng smiled faintly and explained.
"Within ten meters! Aren't you afraid of being discovered at such a close distance?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"It should be impossible to be discovered, but I can't guarantee it, so I ask everyone to protect me. Once the ghost wakes up, we will kill it immediately." Li Xiaocheng said calmly.
"This is too dangerous!" Wang Jinbao, a martial artist in the Tongmai realm, said with an unpleasant expression.
"If it weren't for the danger, why would we hire you?" Li Xiaocheng refuted, and then softened his tone and said, "Don't worry, everyone, with the protection of the secret talisman, I am 80% sure that I will not be discovered by ghosts."
Seeing that everyone still looked hesitant, he added: "Everyone, you'd better hurry up. It will take a long time and I don't know what will happen. And don't you want to complete the task quickly so that you can search the surroundings? You need to know this place It hasn’t been developed yet.”
Even though they knew that Li Xiaocheng was a temptation, everyone was still shaken. The rewards for this mission can be said to be generous, so you should take some risks.
"Let's see, Butler Li, it's not that we can't trust you, but just in case, you should tell us the way out first. If nothing happens, we will have a retreat."
At this time, Yu Guihai stood up and said.
Everyone looked around and were surprised to see that it was Chen Dabao who had spoken very little along the way. But everyone thought what he said made sense.
"Haha, I originally wanted to tell everyone this, but it doesn't matter now. As long as you go out from the other end of the rift valley, there will be a huge upward stone pillar. There is a cave on the stone pillar. Along the cave, you can lead to the second level. The second floor is very small, and you can find the exit with a little searching. The first floor maze is not difficult to navigate, and you can get out quickly. "
Li Xiaocheng said with a smile.
"That's good." Yu Guihai nodded and stopped talking.
Everyone also agreed that everyone was a knife-head licking blood, and soon put aside their worries and prepared to give it a try.
"That's right. Mr. Fan, when I use the treasure, you can immediately go into the cave to investigate." Li Xiaocheng smiled, said something to Fan She, and then took the lead towards the small temple.
Everyone was only twenty or thirty meters away from the small temple, and soon came within ten meters.
From the door of the small temple, you can see some vague scenery clearly, and there seems to be a white statue standing inside.
Everyone's hearts were almost in their throats.
