The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

Chapter 337 Open the way

"I have it?"

Gu Li looked at the ghost candle he handed over. The dark green flame was burning fiercely, illuminating a range of three meters nearby. The flame seemed to expand, and some unknown energy erupted in the violent combustion. In this way, the surrounding ghosts are driven away so that they cannot approach.

However, even if the surrounding ghosts have not yet officially launched an attack, the burning speed of the candle is still very alarming.

According to this burning speed, the candle will last for at most 3 minutes before it will burn out.

"Yes, you take it." Li Leping repeated solemnly.

Gu Li took the ghost candle and asked worriedly, "What are you going to do?"

He knew that it was impossible for Li Leping to hand over the ghost candle to him for no reason.

This is like some people will try their best to choose to drive by themselves. Only in this way can they firmly grasp the steering wheel.

Because I dare not hand over the guy who is related to life to others.

But now that Li Leping chooses to let him hold the ghost candle, it means that Li Leping has more important things to do.

"If we only rely on ghost candles, we will definitely not be able to rush out. There are too many ghosts. Even if they haven't attacked us yet, it will take a huge amount of energy to disperse them with ghost candlelight."

Glancing at the burning candle in Gu Li's hand, Li Leping continued: "According to this burning speed, when the ghosts attack us, the candle will definitely not be able to last for half a minute. You must know that we have five candles here. Individuals, the possibility of being targeted is too great, not to mention the situation where several people are targeted by a ghost at the same time, which will lead to a sharp increase in the consumption of ghost candles."

"This time is not enough for us to retreat to the house where Wei Jing is located, let alone hold on until the first time the door opens."

Gu Li said at this moment: "If that's the case, then we might as well stick to the room behind us, so that the number of ghosts we have to face at the same time should not be too exaggerated."

"No." Li Leping vetoed his suggestion.

"Don't talk about me, the purpose of your operation this time is to bring Wei Jing back. His importance is self-evident. If there is a possibility of saving him, then we must try our best. Besides, the house behind us may It is no longer supernatural, and it will be affected by ghost paintings at any time. If the house changes and the structure is remodeled, so that we can't find the door, it will mean that we will waste more and more waste here. Missed the time to open the door for the first time."

Liu San looked at the stern Li Leping, as if he had guessed something: "So you plan to fight?"

Li Leping's eyes moved slightly, and he said a very cruel but most effective plan: "Attack proactively, you hold ghost candles, follow me, and I will open the way for you in front."

Hearing this, the other four were all startled.

They understood Li Leping's plan.

If the external environment prevents the ghost candle from burning for too long, then as long as the external influence is weakened as much as possible, the ghost candle that the ghost candle needs to resist will be reduced, and the burning time will naturally increase.

But the problem is that the so-called "opening the way" means that Li Leping has to leave the shelter of the ghost candle, break into this gray and white world alone, and repel the approaching ghosts.

This is tantamount to asking him to fight against the ghosts in front of him alone, and even all the ghosts on the way to retreat.

Resist the attack of the group of ghosts, and at the same time counterattack the group of ghosts, so as to prolong the burning time of the ghost candle.

It's an almost impossible plan to succeed.

"This method is too crazy, I don't agree." Gu Li was the first to object.

He believes in Li Leping's strength, but Li Leping is human after all, and human beings have limits.

If Li Leping was allowed to rush out to fight against the ghosts alone, wouldn't that mean he was going to die?

"Yes, I suggest reconsidering." Liu San said.

When he said this, Liu San himself was very uncertain, because he observed that although the old man who stopped not far away and the ghost that appeared in the oil painting hadn't moved or attacked them yet, those who appeared The ghosts that came out showed more and more obvious signs of getting out of trouble.

In ten seconds at most, the ghost in the oil painting will invade Huanggang Village, and by then, the danger level of this village will soar to the extreme.

"There is nothing to consider. When it is time to do something, you must be decisive enough and not back down."

Li Leping's voice was not too loud, but it revealed an extremely firm voice.

At the same time, he clenched the short black stick behind his back and pulled it out of the container.

"Why don't we alternate, you stay outside for a while, and then someone else goes outside to replace you." Gu Li suggested.

Li Leping shook his head and said, "No, this is tantamount to wasting time and increasing consumption and casualties. I went out to open the way because if it were me, I might still be able to withstand the attack of the ghosts outside, but you can't."

As soon as this remark came out, the others fell silent again.

Although the words are straightforward, the answer is also obvious.

Except for Li Leping, none of the other four could survive surrounded by ghosts.

Perhaps Liu San can, after all, he has a strong ability to survive, but he is not in a good state now, he has not yet fully controlled the spirit of the old corpse in his body, and the spirit that the paper figurine can display is also very limited.

At this time, if he escaped from the protection of the ghost candle, he would either be beaten passively, or actively tear the yellow paper on the surface, release the old corpse, and fight desperately with the ghost that ran out of the oil painting.

However, if it really came to that point, according to Liu San's current state, it is estimated that the time for the old corpse to recover is not far away.

"The team is like this. Everyone has to take corresponding responsibilities. If you don't realize this, it is impossible to survive in this cruel world." Li Leping seemed to be comforting.

When faced with supernatural events, there are often people who have to show their abilities at critical moments and pay some price in order to carry the team forward.

Lifespan, even life.

And Li Leping also chose the most rational way.

Someone has to go ahead to clear the way and forcibly clean up a relatively clean atmosphere. Only in this case can the ghost candle burn longer and everyone have a chance to survive.

And the person who opened the way cannot be the weakest person in the team. Now it is not cannon fodder that guarantees the survival of the team, but the strongest person in the team.

He wanted to withstand the pressure from the surrounding ghosts and take everyone out.

"Okay, time is running out, get ready, don't get too close to me, keep a distance of about ten meters from me."

After finishing speaking, Li Leping turned around and looked at the ghosts that were about to walk out of the oil painting.

As for the old man blocking the way, he still didn't move, it seemed that everyone hadn't triggered its killing pattern.

"This old thing, it can't be the new identity of ghost messenger..."

Suddenly, Li Leping thought of this.

The ghosts confined by ghost paintings seem to be presented in the form of an oil painting.

Just like the picture frames that are constantly falling to the ground, the ghosts in the oil paintings are invading Huanggang Village.

So, is it possible that this old man is the new identity of the ghost messenger, and it has been completely suppressed by the ghost painting, and it cannot be restarted again, so it will not stare at everyone?

Of course, it is also possible that the number of ghosts controlled by the crowd exceeded its suppression quota, so the ghost messenger would not focus on the five living people behind him.

"It doesn't matter that much."

Li Leping gritted his teeth and pulled out of his short thoughts.

He planned to cut through the mess quickly, go out and fight desperately, and fight for a way for everyone including himself.

Anyway, it has come to this point. He is alone, and he can't withdraw even if he wants to.

"Wait, Li Leping." Gu Li suddenly shouted.

Holding the short stick tightly, Li Leping looked dignified and was ready to go. Li Leping, who was about to rush out to fight the ghosts, turned his head and said coldly, "What's the matter?"

"You take this, it should be useful." After speaking, Gu Li handed over a sickle.

This is an old sickle, which looks no different from the sickle used to harvest crops in the countryside, except that rust spots have grown on the knife, which looks quite old.

But the handle of this old sickle was covered with a layer of gold leaf.

This is to prevent accidental touch, so it is specially wrapped with gold leaf to separate people from spiritual things.

"The scythe?"

Li Leping did not refuse, and took over the sickle that he had held once at the training base.

Last time, he didn't have time to try the power of this scythe.

Unexpectedly, there will be a chance to test it so soon.

"Remember, if I fall down and can't get up, then don't stop and control me, go around me, go forward, and don't stop."

Li Leping patted Gu Li's shoulder, and gave his final advice.

The doorknob was still on Gu Li, Li Leping knew that even if he couldn't stand it anymore, as long as Gu Li and the others could escape successfully, then his death would be valuable and meaningful.

But at this moment, Liu San's expression changed, he looked at the countless oil paintings in the gray-white world, and said in a low voice, "Here we come."

Not far away, terrifying figures have stepped out of the oil painting. Those figures are extremely strange, some are fat and some are thin, some are tall and some are short.

At this moment, the rotten stench in the air seemed to be extremely strong with the appearance of these figures.

Those figures are slowly approaching the crowd, as if they want to surround them.

At this moment, the ghost candle in Gu Li's hand also swelled and burned violently, as if stimulating his own energy to resist the spiritual attack from the outside world.

The burning speed of the ghost candle increased sharply, and it was dark outside the green candlelight, and countless strange figures kept approaching.

Even though Li Leping and the others are already very cautious, try to avoid making meaningless actions, so as to avoid the possibility of them being targeted by ghosts.

However, these ghosts coming out of the oil paintings will always follow them.

This shows that the killing pattern of these ghosts is very easy to be triggered, and once they are targeted, they will not only target one of them, but will target several people at once.

Such a ghost is not an exception, and as several people are stared at by a ghost at the same time, the burning speed of the ghost candle will also increase exponentially.

"It's raining all night, there's no time, let's act." Li Leping snorted.

After finishing speaking, holding a sickle in one hand and a short stick in the other, he rushed along the road under his feet towards the world beyond the ghost candle's light without any hesitation.
