Chapter 1294. Searching for the Netherworld Flower (9)

—I was so nervous that I dropped my sunflower seeds on the ground.

Luckily, Zhang Ting reacted quickly and shone a flashlight on them!
—But simply restraining yourself doesn't seem to be enough!

—They are definitely looking for an opportunity to strike!

—It seems that Zhang Yang and Li Han have run into trouble.

Lin Xi and the others were so focused on dealing with the lingering resentment that they didn't notice that Zhang Yang and Li Han behind them had fallen into an even greater crisis.

Li Han was infected with miasma and was already extremely weak. His negative emotions were particularly intense, especially his resentment towards everyone, which was like a bright light in the dark, attracting the attention of those who were filled with hatred.

Zhang Yang, supporting Li Han, also became serious.

Although he wasn't infected by the miasma, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked in the face of these terrifying resentful spirits.

He held up his flashlight and cautiously shone it around, but his attention was mostly focused on the people in front of him, and he didn't notice that several dark figures had quietly circled around behind them.

"Zhang Yang...why am I so cold..."

Li Han leaned against Zhang Yang, his voice trembling, his face turning even darker and more ashen.

Just as Zhang Yang was about to speak to comfort him, he felt a chilling coldness coming from behind him.

He turned around abruptly, and the beam of his flashlight swept across the area, revealing several dark figures rushing towards Li Han.

Those dark figures were drawn by the resentment emanating from Li Han, and their target was clear: Li Han alone.

"not good!"

Zhang Yang was startled and instinctively released his grip on Li Han, taking a few steps back to avoid the shadowy figure's attack.
His reaction was swift, almost instinctively focused on self-preservation, without any consideration for saving Li Han.

Li Han was already weak, and when Zhang Yang suddenly released him, he staggered and fell to the ground.

Before he could even get up, the dark figures pounced on him and instantly enveloped him.

The dark shadow burrowed into his seven orifices, and Li Han let out a shrill scream, a sound so sharp it sent chills down one's spine.

"Zhang Yang! Help me! Help me!"

Li Han reached out and grabbed at Zhang Yang, his eyes filled with despair and fear.

His body, enveloped in the shadows, shrank at a visible rate, his skin gradually losing its luster and becoming as stiff as dead wood.

The people in front turned around when they heard Li Han's scream.

Li Han was lying on the ground, surrounded by several dark shadows, his body convulsing.

Zhang Yang stood aside, shining his flashlight at the shadowy figure, a hint of panic on his face, but he did not step forward to help.

"Zhang Yang! Why didn't you save him!"

Zhao Kai roared and was about to rush over, but Lin Xi stopped him.

"Don't go over there!" Lin Xi's tone was icy. "These resentful spirits are only focused on Li Han. Going over there will only attract them. Zhang Yang can't save him, and we don't need to take the risk."

Lin Xi's words were cruel, but very realistic.

These resentments are exceptionally fierce, and once targeted, it's very difficult to escape.

They are struggling to survive themselves and have no energy left to save Li Han.

Moreover, Li Han's previous actions had earned him little goodwill from the public.

When Zhang Yang heard Zhao Kai's angry shout, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face. He spread his hands, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"It's not that I don't want to save him, it's that I can't! These resentful spirits are too powerful. If I get close, they'll target me, and then we'll both die!"

His words did make some sense, and Zhao Kai fell silent.

—Zhao Kairen is actually a pretty good person!

—Yeah, he's so annoying to Li Han, but at the crucial moment, he still wanted to save people. —He just doesn't seem to have a good temper, but he seems like a nice person.

—When you encounter Li Han, no one can stay in a good mood.

—No, no, he seems to be impulsive most of the time.

Li Han's screams gradually subsided, and his body convulsions slowed down.

The shadow that enveloped him gradually dissipated, revealing his shriveled corpse.

His eyes were wide open, filled with fear and resentment, and his skin was so dry and shriveled that it clung tightly to his bones, making him look like a mummy that had been dried for many years.

After the shadow dispersed, it did not attack anyone else, but instead drifted towards the bone wall and disappeared back into it, as if it had never existed.

Only Li Han's corpse on the ground proved that what had just happened was real.

--Oh My God!

That's a bit tragic!

—What a tragedy! He brought this on himself!

—Exactly, if he weren't so annoying, no one would have refused to save him.

—Yes, if it were someone else like that, even if people couldn't save them, they would still give it a try.

—Zhang Yang is too cold-blooded.

—It's not Zhang Yang's fault; 123 also said there was no way to save him.

—I think I understand now, everyone's bias towards 123 is too strong.

So what if the filter is thick? 123 is right no matter what they do!
There's no need to save him; this kind of person doesn't deserve sympathy!

Everyone looked at Li Han's corpse on the ground with grim expressions.

Although Li Han's actions were despicable, witnessing someone die tragically right in front of you still sent chills down your spine.

Zhou Lili, in particular, looked extremely pale.

Zhang Ting took a deep breath and spoke in a solemn tone.

"Don't let this affect you, everyone. We're in a dangerous situation right now. Suqing, let's keep moving forward and get out of this bone corridor as soon as possible."

Su Qing nodded, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"I'm sorry everyone, I didn't expect the resentment to erupt so quickly. There's a stone gate not far ahead, and we can leave the Bone Corridor by going through it. However... there are also many dangers behind the stone gate, so everyone must be extra careful."

Everyone followed Su Qing and walked quickly into the depths of the corridor, no one looking at Li Han's body on the ground anymore.

The corpses on the ground looked particularly eerie under the dim blue light of the lanterns.

After walking for about ten minutes, a huge stone gate appeared ahead.

The stone gate is made from a single piece of bluestone, with intricate patterns carved on it. Some luminous crystals are embedded in the patterns, emitting a faint glow in the darkness.

The stone door was tightly closed, with no keyhole or handle, and I didn't know how to open it.

“This is it.” Su Qing stopped and pointed to the stone door. “Pass through this stone door and you will enter the next corridor. However, this stone door is sealed by the magic of the Spirit Clan, and we need to find the right method to open it.”

"How do we open it?" Zhao Kai stepped forward and touched the texture of the stone door. "There's no keyhole either; we can't exactly smash it open with our hiking poles, can we?"

"No!" Su Qing immediately stopped him. "The seal on this stone door is very special. If we break it with brute force, it will trigger the traps inside, and then we will all die here."

Chen Luoxue held up a flashlight and carefully observed the patterns on the stone gate.

"These patterns look like some kind of array. Miss Suqing, do you know how to open the stone door?"

Su Qing shook her head, her eyes filled with helplessness.
