Zhang Hao was surprised when he heard this, and he became even more worried about the safety of Hao Xie and Fatty Wang.

"It's okay. I'm willing to enter the illusion. As long as I can bring them back, anything is fine!" He said firmly, "Let's go quickly. I'm afraid they can't hold on!"

Before Zhang Qilin could stop him, Zhang Hao had already rushed into the illusion impatiently.

When he saw Hao Xie and Fatty Wang, their situations were completely different.

However, Zhang Hao acted without hesitation and broke their dream.

Hao Xie and Fatty Wang woke up instantly, and when they saw Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin appear in front of them, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're finally here! What is this place?" they asked puzzledly.

Zhang Hao saw Hao Xie and Fatty Wang looking confused, and turned to look at Zhang Qilin.

Zhang Qilin looked at Fatty Wang and Hao Xie and said, "This is an illusion. You accidentally entered it. If Zhang Hao hadn't broken your dream in time and woke you up, you would have been in danger."

Fatty Wang and Hao Xie suddenly understood what was going on. They looked at each other and said, "No wonder. I was wondering why there were those strange pictures."

Zhang Hao looked back and said seriously, "Let's go. We can't stay here for long. Let's leave as soon as possible."

He planned to take them away from this dangerous place as soon as possible, and Hao Xie and Fatty Wang were already eager to leave.

However, at this moment, Fatty Wang suddenly screamed and looked a little dizzy.

Hao Xie turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

When everyone turned around to look, they saw Fatty Wang covering his head. A statue of Nuwa had appeared a few years ago.

Hao Xie ran over quickly and said in surprise: "Zhang Hao, look! It looks like the statue of Nuwa!"

As he said this, he wanted to push Fatty Wang away to take a better look at the statue, but he found Fatty Wang standing there motionless.

Hao Xie did not give up and tried again, but found that Fatty Wang was really trapped there.

"Fatty Wang, what's going on? Why aren't you moving?" Hao Xie asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin realized that something was wrong and hurriedly followed.

However, they were shocked to find that Fatty Wang was gradually turning into a stone statue.

Zhang Hao subconsciously reached out to touch it, but suddenly felt an invisible force blocking him.

It was like a barrier appeared out of nowhere, completely separating them from Fatty Wang.

Full of doubts, Zhang Hao turned to look at Zhang Qilin, who had a cold expression, and asked, "What on earth is going on?"

"Where on earth did this barrier come from? Will Fatty Wang be in danger?"

Zhang Qilin also looked confused. He had no idea how to answer Zhang Hao's question.

Just when they were feeling at a loss, a burst of wild laughter suddenly broke out.

Zhang Hao and Hao Xie subconsciously turned around and saw a man whose strength was almost the same as the Ghost King slowly walking towards them.

When the man saw Zhang Hao and the others, he laughed wildly and then began to sneer: "Humph, you want to leave? Do you have the ability to do that?"

"Do you really think this is a place where you can come and go as you please? You really overestimate your own abilities!"

"You can't escape!"

As he spoke, a ray of light flashed in the man's hand and he shot straight towards Zhang Hao and the others.

Zhang Hao was shocked and quickly pulled Zhang Qilin and Hao Xie to the side.

"Be careful! This person is very powerful, on par with the Ghost King. We must not be careless!"

Hao Xie and Zhang Qilin nodded. The man’s attack completely angered Zhang Hao.

Without saying a word, Zhang Hao waved his right hand and a hexagonal black seal was instantly summoned out. A golden light flashed and gradually approached the man's body.

There was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and Zhang Qilin released the Qilin Light without hesitation.

The whole person flew into the air, looking down at everything below, and the atmosphere suddenly became weird.

Under the joint control of Zhang Qilin and Zhang Hao, the man's attack gradually slowed down.

Seeing this scene, Hao Xie was not to be outdone. As a fourth-rank underworld official, his strength should not be underestimated.

He rushed out suddenly, took the black gold ancient knife from Zhang Qilin's hand, and quickly pounced on the man in black robe.

The man in black realized that his strength was weakening, and when he saw Hao Xie rushing towards him with the black-gold ancient sword in his hand, he immediately dodged.

"Want me to die? It's not that easy!"

"Dream on! I want to see how you guys are going to leave here!"

"Hahaha……"

With that, the man in black robe fled again. Hao Xie was furious because he failed to succeed.

"Damn you, cunning man in black robe, I will never let you go!"

"Don't give me the chance, or I will tear you into pieces!"

"I swear here that I will never forgive you!"

Hao Xie had an angry look on his face and was filled with resentment.

Zhang Hao and the others watched the man in black robe leave again, but found that they were really trapped in the underground mechanism again as the man in black robe said, and could not leave at all.

Hao Xie was furious and said irritably: "Why is there another trap? What the hell is this place?"

"It seems that if we want to get out, we must find a way to crack this mechanism."

"But what about Fatty Wang? He has completely turned into a stone statue."

As he spoke, everyone's eyes fell on Fatty Wang, and a look of worry appeared on their faces.

Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh and walked to the side carefully.

He was determined to try every possible means to find a way to crack the mechanism and get them out safely.

We can't be trapped here forever. It's too dangerous to continue like this.

"Hurry up and find it, Zhang Hao, there's no time!"

The underground palace began to crumble, and debris from the roof fell on Fatty Wang, but he had turned into a stone statue and did not react at all.

"Never mind, little brother, come and help me move Fatty Wang to the corner. We can't let him get smashed to pieces, right?"

Hao Xie and Zhang Qilin worked together to move Fatty Wang to the corner.

"Fatty Wang? The stone statue...Nuwa?"

Zhang Hao seemed to suddenly think of something and walked back to the Nuwa statue.

"Zhang Hao, you better hide first, don't get hit. It's useless to look at that statue."

Hao Xie clung to the crumbling statue of Fatty Wang. Although Zhang Qilin did not speak, his expression showed that he was not feeling well at the moment. "No, this is the key point!"

As he spoke, Zhang Hao began to pace back and forth around the Nuwa statue.

In his opinion, the key to leaving must be hidden here.

It is said that the most dangerous place is also the safest place, perhaps it is on this most conspicuous statue!
Suddenly, he noticed that Nuwa's eyes seemed to be shining with a strange light!
Zhang Hao reached out and touched the position of her eyeball, and then saw two translucent stones - her eyes were actually two gems!

"found it!"

Zhang Hao used a knife to pry the gem off. When the gem under his left eye was pried off, the corner of the underground palace suddenly collapsed, and then a door appeared.

The light from outside shines through the door, that's the exit!

"Hurry up, get out!"

Zhang Qilin hugged the statue of Fatty Wang and said, "Let's talk about the others first, or we will really be buried!"

Zhang Hao ignored him and continued to pry another gem stubbornly.

After great effort, he finally pried off the gem.

At the same time, Fatty Wang's body gradually became soft, as if he was shedding his skin, and pieces of stones fell off his body.

Zhang Qilin quickly let him go and let him stand on the ground.

"Oh my god! What happened to me? Why did I suddenly become unable to move just now?"

“Did you hear us talking just now?” Hao Xie was very happy to see Fatty Wang recover, but he was more confused - what on earth happened just now?
"I know everything, but I just can't move!"

When the two were puzzled, Zhang Qilin pushed them out, turned around and looked at Zhang Hao and said, "Stop talking, Zhang Hao, hurry up and leave!"

"it is good."

Zhang Hao knew that after the statue of Nuwa was destroyed, this place would soon collapse.

Don't stay here for long!

When several people ran out of the underground palace, the door behind them collapsed!
The place was completely destroyed, and there were fewer clues to find.

"Damn it!" Fatty Wang kicked a stone hard and spat, "Where did that guy come from? Why does it seem like every move we make is within the other party's expectations?"

"It seems to be true..." Hao Xie was also in deep thought.

While the two were discussing, Zhang Qilin said nothing, as if he was thinking about something; Zhang Hao observed the surrounding environment without saying a word.

This place is both strange and familiar.

Judging from the topography, it seems to be still inside the village.

Suddenly, a flow of breath attracted Zhang Hao's attention, and his eyes were instantly drawn to the east.

over there!
"Aren't you ready to come out?"

Zhang Hao suddenly asked.

After he finished speaking, he smiled coldly and said, "You watched us fight the mysterious man for so long in secret, and then you just sit back and reap the benefits? That's not very kind, village chief."

Zhang Qilin didn't say anything, nor did he show any doubt. It was obvious that he had doubts for a long time.

There were bursts of sneering laughter coming from behind a stone not far away, and then the village chief walked out from there.

Completely different from his previous image of a leader who was sometimes majestic and sometimes kind, he was now shrouded in gloom.

The black robe on his body had become tattered at some point, as if it was a style from hundreds of years ago.

"When did you find out?"

"Don't talk about that. I want to ask you, why did you kill so many innocent villagers? They trusted you so much!"

There was a raging anger burning in Zhang Hao's chest.

Those villagers were so helpless, yet they trusted the village chief so much. I wonder how they would feel if they knew that the culprit who pushed them into hell was the village chief they trusted.

"Hehe... I have been here for hundreds of years. I led their ancestors out of poverty and let them live a prosperous life. I have fulfilled the agreed conditions, and now it is my turn to ask for the price - I want their souls! I want these pure, powerless souls! This is the most delicious..."

As he spoke, the village chief's appearance changed drastically.

His limbs gradually became thinner, but his stomach slowly swelled up like a deflated ball, and the proportions became extremely disproportionate.

At the same time, his head became more and more pointed, his mouth opened wide, his teeth became extremely sharp, and saliva dripped from his mouth.

Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin leaned against each other subconsciously - this is a glutton!

This kind of ghost is registered as a fierce ghost in the underworld, and is called a ghoul. When its cultivation is low, it likes to gnaw on human bones; as it gnaws more and more, its cultivation gradually increases, and it begins to like to eat "fresh" things, such as souls.

This ghoul is already a glutton, and only likes to eat the ghosts he has raised himself. This is definitely not the first time this ghost has done this.

Logically speaking, a glutton like him should have been wanted by the underworld a long time ago. But there has been no news from the underworld, which can only prove one thing - he is making some kind of deal.

Just as he just said, he led the villagers to live a happy life, but the price was the souls of their descendants.

This was a clearly marked transaction, and even the underworld could not intervene. Moreover, he acted in a low-key manner and had many followers. If Zhang Hao had not come in person, he would probably have repeated such activities many times and continued to deceive more people.

Zhang Hao will never sit idly by!
"Today, I will enforce justice and take you in!" Zhang Hao said seriously.

"Hahahaha, you can just come and try! In my barrier, I want to see who can beat me!" the other party laughed arrogantly.

Barrier? Zhang Hao's heart trembled. Although he had a premonition, his expression could not help but change slightly.

From the moment he stepped into the village, he was already in the barrier. As for the black-clothed ghost king, he was probably let in on purpose, just to let Zhang Hao and his party fight with the ghost king. No matter who wins in the end, he can benefit from it.

However, he never expected that in the end the Ghost King left and Zhang Hao escaped, and he had given up his underground palace in vain.

Sooner or later, he would be exposed. Rather than being caught and ending up in disgrace, it was better to be honest now. If Zhang Hao died, he could still block the news in time.

The owner of the barrier can make all the rules within the barrier, including who can use spiritual power spells.

Now that Zhang Hao has lost both his own and Zhang Qilin's abilities, is he going to fight the opponent with his bare hands?

That's not a wise move!

Zhang Hao quietly took two steps back and whispered to Zhang Qilin: "Is your blood still useful here?"

"Not sure." Zhang Qilin shook his head.

"Try it, try it first." Zhang Hao ordered.

As soon as Zhang Hao spoke, Zhang Qilin pulled out the small dagger on his leg without hesitation, slashed it across his palm, wiped it on Zhang Hao's body, and then rushed towards the Taobao.

When Zhang Qilin's blood appeared, Lao Tao's face changed suddenly.

"People from the Zhang family...people from the Zhang family..." he muttered to himself.

Zhang Hao had long known that the Zhang family's bloodline was extraordinary, but he had never expected that Lao Tao would be so afraid.

Zhang Hao was delighted and shouted to Zhang Qilin: (End of this chapter)
