Chapter 24: Psychic Illusion, Ghost Fire Female Corpse

As they continued to move forward, Shirley Yang suddenly came up to Gu Bai.

He lowered his voice and asked:

"Gu Bai, those weren't bugs just now, right?"

Obviously, the careful Shirley Yang saw the problem.

Gu Bai curled his lips, revealing a pure smile.

"Don't think too much, it's just a bug."

Gu Bai didn't want to reveal too much to Hu Bayi, Shirley, Yang, Wang and Fatty for the time being, so he smiled and tried to cover it up.

Shirley Yang looked at Gu Bai with resentful eyes, bit her lip and said, "Forget it if you don't tell me. I will figure it out myself sooner or later."

After finishing speaking, Shirley Yang walked to the front and continued to move forward.

The passage with burial pits on both sides was only about two or three miles long, and soon everyone reached the end.

The place at the end is no longer a man-made passage like the previous one.

This is a natural underground cave.

Apparently, whoever built the secret passage beneath the Worm Valley used a natural cave.

There is an underground river in this underground cave, which almost submerges the entire cave in water.

Hu Bayi shone the Wolf Eye flashlight inside for a long time and confirmed that there was no other way to go.

Fatty Wang walked around the water's edge and actually found some old wooden boats.

However, these wooden boats were already rotten and completely unusable.

"It seems that we can only go swimming."

Hu Bayi shook his head helplessly.

No one wants to go swimming directly in the water unless they have to.

The water temperature in underground caves is very low, and it is easy to get hypothermia over time.

Moreover, people consume a lot of physical energy and it is easy to collapse.

Another thing is that the water is dark. What if there is something scary in the underground river under Zhalong Mountain like before? It will be completely different with or without a boat.

Shirley Yang and Fatty Wang could only hope that this section of the underground river would not be too long.

Gu Bai wasn't really worried.

Several people all put on professional diving suits, and also the waterproof bags and huge air bags they brought with them, so they were able to cope with the situation.

After the four people got dressed and prepared their supplies, they went into the water one after another.

Gu Bai stayed behind to hold the fort.

After entering the water, the cold water flow is very stimulating.

The top of my head is very close to the top of the cave, and it feels very depressing.

After floating along the current for several hundred meters, the space above my head became larger and I finally felt less stuffy.

Gu Bai looked around the interior of the cave.

The scene inside surprised Gu Bai, who was well prepared.

This is completely an underground virgin forest!
At the top of the entire cave, there are many things like plant roots hanging down, all the way to the water.

In the water, there are also many stone pillars like towering trees that can only be hugged by several people, stretching from the bottom of the water to the top of the cave.

The entire cave feels like being in a forest.

There are many tiny fish in the water, with almost no eyes visible, all white, and they are constantly touching a few intruding humans.

Gu Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, these small fish are not piranhas like the sword-toothed viperfish, otherwise it would be another troublesome thing.

After entering the cave, Shirley Yang immediately took out a signal gun and fired a flare into the cave.

As luck would have it, the flare happened to be hung on a vine hanging from the top of the cave.

The flares are like ceiling lights, illuminating a large area.

Only then did King Hu Bayi, Fatty Shirley and Yang see clearly what was going on inside the cave.

For a moment, the sound of people gasping for air was heard all around Gu Bai.

Shirley Yang looked quite excited.

"It's so rare that here is a fossil of an ancient forest."

Fatty Wang was still mumbling, "Fossils? I saw people tinkering with these things in Panjiayuan. They're not that rare."

Shirley Yang curled her lips, "Those are animal bone fossils. An entire piece of primitive jungle fossils is extremely rare and difficult to form."

"I guess the area around Zhalongshan Worm Valley may have been an active volcano in ancient times. The volcanic ash from the active volcano buried the jungle directly, and after it became fossils, it was washed away by groundwater and exposed."

Fatty Wang shook his head, not understanding what was so beautiful about these stone pillars. "These broken stones can't be sold for money. I think we should get some valuable artifacts back to show those people in Panjiayuan!"

Shirley, Yang Wang, Fatty Hu Bayi and the others were chatting casually.

But Gu Bai felt something was wrong.

In the cave, there is an extremely repressive force that is affecting everyone's spirit.

This power is vague and erratic.

Gu Bai has the Eye of Truth skill and the Bewitching skill, which can prevent Gu Bai from being affected by other spiritual powers or illusions.

However, Gu Bai's fluctuations in spiritual power were more obvious.

"Something's wrong here!"

Gu Bai spoke up to remind him.

The keen Hu Bayi also noticed it.

"Indeed, I feel depressed!"

Just as the two men finished speaking, the flare that had been hanging on the top of the cave went out.

The entire cave fell into darkness again.

Only a few people still had the headlights on their helmets.

It looks particularly small inside the huge empty cave.

Fatty Wang was about to turn on the Wolf Eye flashlight but was stopped by Gu Bai.

"Don't turn on the flashlight yet. Look in front of you. Is there something glowing?"

Gu Bai's night vision and true eye skills are most effective in such a dark cave.

While the other people were still confused, Gu Bai had already noticed something unusual ahead.

Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang and Fatty Wang all looked in the direction Gu Bai was pointing.

Soon, Gu Baiyou heard three simultaneous gasps of air.

Gu Bai also got goose bumps all over his body, and a chill went up his spine.

There was a faint white light in the water not far in front of the cave.

The white light outlines a person's shadow.

And this ball of white light is getting closer and closer.

Soon Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang and Fatty Wang could also see clearly.

There was a female corpse in the white light.

The female corpse was wearing a plain white mourning dress, and her entire body was wrapped in a layer of faint, cold white light.

The light seems to have no temperature and is extremely cold.

Like a will-o'-the-wisp.

Gu Bai secretly said that this was not good.

Gu Bai could clearly feel the evil and oppressive aura emanating from the female corpse.

Looking around again, I saw that Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang and Fatty Wang all had expressions of sadness and even despair on their faces.

The cave was surrounded by a cold and oppressive spiritual force.

"How dare you act like a demon in front of Master Gu!"

Gu Bai gritted his teeth, then released his bewitching skill on Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang and Fatty Wang.

The skill of bewitchment can control a person's mind and also control his emotions.

Of course, Gu Bai didn't need to completely control the minds of Chief of Staff Lao Huyang and the fat man, but he could still help the three of them break free from the sadness, depression and despair.

Cheer up for me!
As three faint golden lights shone on Hu Bayi and the other two, the sad and desperate expressions on their faces finally disappeared.

Gu Bai then took a look at the glowing female corpse floating slowly in the water, as if suspended in air, and took out the meteorite iron and silver tiger-head staff.

The Tiger Roar skill is activated.

A transparent tiger more than ten feet long roared out from the mouth of the tiger-head stick and directly attacked the female corpse.

It was like flipping a light switch.

The faint cold light on the female corpse extinguished instantly.

The female body also sank slowly, and disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.

The spiritual power that just enveloped Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang and Fatty Wang also disappeared.

Fatty Wang came back to his senses. The sad look on his face was gone, but instead there was a look mixed with fear and excitement.

"Old Hu, was that a dead drifter or a water ghost?"
