After the Skyfall

Chapter 540 Corpse Monster

The sudden loud noise from the temple gate startled everyone and they were at a loss for words. Even the experienced Old Liu didn't know what to do at this moment, because he had never encountered such a weird thing.

You know, this is the gate of the mountain temple. The mountain god protects this place. Normally, evil spirits dare not approach. I have stayed here for so long and have not encountered any danger. I don't know what happened tonight. I encountered a yellow-skinned monster and saw a fierce ghost.

Could it be that all these wild monsters have set their sights on this place?
In fact, what Old Liu didn’t know was that the reason why there were so many dangers today was because Li Yi’s arrival scared away the mountain god here.

Without the protection of the mountain god, this mountain temple naturally lost any deterrent effect. In addition, with a group of people staying here at night, the accumulation of popularity will inevitably attract the attention of some things.

bump!bump!
The heavy door of the mountain temple was slamming loudly, and the door frame was shaking, with cracks even appearing on it. It seemed that if the things outside continued like this, the door would not be able to hold on for long and would soon be completely shattered. But even so, no one dared to hold the door.

Everyone was in a panic. At this moment, the mountain temple seemed no longer a shelter, but a cage that locked everyone inside. They wanted to run, but they didn't dare to.

Because if I leave here, I might die faster.

"What to do? What to do now?"

They were extremely desperate and could do nothing but watch as the gap in the door got bigger and bigger.

Gusts of cold wind blew in from the windows, door cracks, and roof. The originally raging fire was blown out by the wind and immediately showed signs of going out. Seeing this, Old Liu hurriedly added all the dry firewood in with trembling hands, but it was still of no avail. The flames were blown around by the wind and the dry firewood could not be ignited at all.

The two women were so frightened that they hugged each other and sobbed.

In the face of this strange situation, they, as ordinary people, are too small and helpless.

"Help, help, please open the door, it's so dark outside, I'm scared."

The faint female voice was heard outside the mountain temple at this moment, urging the people in the temple to open the door and let her in.

But they are not stupid. No one has so much strength to knock on the door.

If the door were opened, who knows what horrible things would come in.

Just when everyone was frightened and at a loss.

In the corner, Li Yi frowned and slowly stood up.

He was in a bad mood because his practice was interrupted time and time again. The weasel that stole people's essence before was one thing, but he didn't expect that there would be ghosts in the middle of the night. The evil creature had no eyes and dared to come to the mountain temple to die. Couldn't the weasel fur hanging outside give a warning?

"Stop knocking. I feel scared when you knock on the door like this. I'll let you in now." Li Yi strode over at this moment.

"Master, please don't open the door. It's definitely not a person knocking on the door. It must be a ghost or a monster in the mountains." Old Liu was shocked and wanted to stop Li Yi from doing this.

Li Yi said, "If there are any monsters, I will kill them. I can't just let the things outside keep knocking. Don't you think it's noisy?"

As he spoke, he immediately removed the bolt and opened the door.

A cold mountain wind blew in, making people feel a chill all over their bodies, but what was horrifying was that after the door was opened, it was pitch black outside, and there was nothing there. There was neither a monster knocking on the door, nor the ghost asking for help before. There were only scratches deep into the wood on the wooden door.

The scratches didn't look like they were made by humans, but rather like those left by some ferocious beast.

"No, nothing?" The scholar Lu Yue opened his eyes wide, feeling unbelievable.

How could this happen?
There was clearly something knocking on the door just now, and everyone heard it. But how come there was nothing as soon as the door was opened? Was it a false alarm?
Old Liu was also confused and puzzled, but the field mouse in his arms was jumping up and down in fear, urging him to leave here quickly, otherwise something unexpected would happen.

But he also has his own difficulties.

Where can he go at this time?

After leaving the mountain temple, there are three intersections in front, which are even more dangerous, and there are graveyards behind, which are also not peaceful. Only the section in the middle is relatively safe. If we can't stay here, then there is really nowhere to go, so we have to get through the second half of the night together no matter what.

Li Yi looked outside at this moment, then stepped over the threshold and walked outside. His face was very calm and he was not afraid of this strange scene at all.

As an evolver, he has seen all kinds of storms and waves. He has even been to World No. 36, and no monsters or demons can shake his heart.

"Come out, stop hiding. I don't have the patience to play games with you." Li Yi said, his eyes looking to the side.

suddenly.

Along with a chilly mountain air drifting over, a woman in a silk dress, with a graceful figure, pale skin and a stiff body appeared. The woman had an expressionless face and walked towards him slowly like a puppet. When she got closer, Li Yi saw that the woman had very long nails on her hands, which were painted with a layer of black paint. The paint seemed like the raw lacquer used to paint coffins, and there was a pungent smell.

"Help, help me, it's dark outside and I'm so scared." The faint voice sounded again, but the woman did not speak. The voice came from behind her.

Seeing this, Old Liu in the temple was so frightened that his whole body almost went limp. He hurriedly shouted, "Master, hurry up, she is not a living person, she is a female corpse, a female corpse that has become a spirit."

Li Yi did not respond, but walked towards him. He clenched his fists and said, "It's dark outside, so what's there to be afraid of? After you taste my fist, you will know that it's nothing. You don't go to sleep at night and come here to disturb my practice. I really can't think of any other possibility except to ask for a fight."

As he said that, he raised his hand and punched out in the air.

The air exploded, a loud thunder rang out between heaven and earth, and silver lightning intertwined, blasting everything in sight in an instant.

A trace of shock appeared on the stiff face of the female corpse, and she felt an inexplicable fear at this moment.

But it was too late to panic now.

The silver lightning struck her and her body was suddenly shattered into powder. Not even a trace of residue was left, as if she had been evaporated in an instant and disappeared completely.

Gone?

Old Liu, scholar Lu Yue, and several others were all stunned when they saw this scene.

How come the female corpse that was there just now suddenly disappeared after being struck by lightning?

Is he dead?

However, before they could recover from their shock, suddenly in the darkness, a figure screamed in fright, then turned around and ran, quickly hiding in the nearby grass, getting away from here as quickly as possible.

The wind was howling nearby.

The woman's terrified voice was floating: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, spare my life, Taoist priest, spare my life."

"Now that you're here, why are you running?" Li Yi's eyes moved slightly and he raised his hand and waved.

A silver aura wrapped in lightning instantly struck into the dense forest.

No matter how that figure tried to escape, it could never escape the pursuit of this strong energy.

In an instant, a hideous gash was created in the dense forest. Silver lightning lit up the dark forest and illuminated half of the sky.

As the silver lightning disappeared and flew away, the fleeing figure suddenly let out a shrill scream, but then the sound stopped abruptly.

Rumble.

There was a huge tremor in the distance, as if a mountain was collapsing.

"The power seems to be a little stronger. These ghost things are too weak. It's not worth using so much power." Li Yi looked into the distance and felt that he had gone too far. He shook his head and immediately returned to the mountain temple.

"It's okay. Those ghosts were like monsters, scary and horrible. I helped to solve them. Everything should be fine tonight. You can rest assured and have a good rest."

Everyone looked at each other.

Compared to the monsters outside, you, Taoist Priest, are the real monster.

Is that really something a human can do?
Silver lightning struck down at will, illuminating half of the sky and even lighting up the night.

"Master, Master." The scholar Lu Yue's legs softened at this moment and he knelt down: "Thank you for saving my life, Master."

"Thank you for saving our lives, sir." The others also knelt down and kowtowed hurriedly.

Old Liu also knelt down, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"No need to be so kind, it's just a small favor, it's nothing." Li Yi helped them up: "You should have a good rest, we still have to travel tomorrow."

But his persuasion seemed to be of no use, and several people continued to kowtow to him.

Li Yi had no choice but to accept their way of expressing gratitude.

Moreover, after this commotion, he clearly felt that some things in the nearby mountains and forests were quickly moving away from here, because those things felt the terror of the silver lightning and dared not stay here any longer.
