Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 97: Bone Chill Zone

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Someone from Ye'an fired a shot, but it was useless. Lao Zhang was protected by the Vajra Talisman and only suffered minor injuries.

There were other things in his body, and under the interaction of these things, he was stunned for a moment looking at Xiao Song.

Pounce suddenly!

"what!"

Xiao Song's shrill screams pierced the thorn forest. He struggled frantically, waving his limbs and pushing and shoving, but he couldn't push Lao Zhang away.

"Shoot!"

Captain Chang roared madly, but they had no way to deal with the mad Lao Zhang.

Xiao Song's pushing gradually became weaker and then turned into convulsions.

After the twitching, the screaming stopped abruptly, and the raised limbs gradually fell limply to the ground.

"Ah! I'm so hungry!"

Lao Zhang has gone completely crazy. His belly is bulging and you can even see some strange shapes.

After a while, under some influence that everyone saw, the skin on Lao Zhang's stomach suddenly cracked. It turned out that he had sex too much and the skin was torn.

Chen Ning'an remained unmoved. He lifted up the bronze basin, and the bright red liquid inside had stopped flowing.

Pity.

Chen Ning'an looked at the basin several times and put it back.

The mother-and-child niche inside was frightening. He could do nothing but grab the black shadow and stuff it into his stomach.

As he filled the form, he shed tears and recited incoherently the "Great and Mysterious Sutra of the Infinite and Miraculous Treasures for the Salvation of Humankind".

"Once upon a time, in the blue sky, the blue sky sang...

His voice became clearer and clearer as the shadows grew smaller, and the scriptures spread through the thorn forest, lingering and distant.

If someone who didn't know heard it, they would definitely listen carefully, but for the Ye'an people here, it was enough to drive them crazy.

Such a weird scene happened in front of them, which challenged their bottom line, made their scalps tingle, and broke their psychological strings.

"what!"

The remaining Ye An people went a little crazy and turned the guns towards themselves: "Even if I die, I don't want to do this!"

"boom!"

It was like a chain reaction, and the other Ye'an people almost followed suit, except for one person who ran out of the thorn forest in fear.

He didn't run far before he let out another shrill scream. He was so frightened that he forgot the rules here.

Can't open eyes.

Chen Ning'an's eyes immediately lit up and he quickly chased over there.

Among the people in Ye'an, only Captain Chang had his eyes wide open and sat on the ground in a daze.

There was a soft sound from the right.

He turned his head and saw that Lao Zhang's belly was unusually large, like a pregnant woman in her third or fourth month of pregnancy. His stomach was exposed where the skin was cracked and was as thin as paper.

At this time, the stomach split open, and all kinds of dark-colored things mixed with body fragments flowed out. What was even more disgusting was the pungent sour and fishy smell that went straight into people's noses.

It was clear that Lao Zhang's eyes had lost their luster and he had stopped breathing, but he was not dead yet and was still going on.

Those things kept falling out from the broken crack.

"vomit!"

Captain Chang felt nauseous and his eyes rolled back, and he passed out from the shock.

…………

"Hey, wake up, wake up."

After an unknown amount of time, Captain Chang felt someone slapping him in the face.

He slowly opened his eyes and found that he had left the thorn forest.

This was a room with a warm bonfire, and the one who woke him up was Xiang Hua, the night watch captain of another team.

"I'm not dead?"

Captain Chang’s first reaction was not relief, but fear!

His eye sockets were sunken, and the dark light within them flashed with unparalleled fear.

"When Mr. Zhang went to your place, he only saw you."

Xiang Hua said this and asked Captain Chang to look at the campfire, where a man in a suit was quietly adding tables and chairs.

It’s the guide, Zhang Qi!
Seeing the guide here, Captain Chang seemed to have finally grasped a life-saving straw and tears welled up in his eyes.

He was a grown man, but he was frightened to the point of crying loudly, which even shocked Xiang Hua.

"Mr. Chang, what on earth did you go through?"

Zhang Qi turned around, glanced at Captain Chang, and said indifferently: "Give him two slaps to wake him up and tell him what happened."

He was in a bad mood, and all his attempts to seduce the territory master after he came in failed.

Xiang Hua was the last team he found. The sacrificial pattern was completed, but there was no sign of the territory master.

He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the Lord of the Territory hasn't lost those things that make him a "human"?

This is not impossible, so the task this time is obviously more difficult.

He felt even more upset, as Captain Chang's crying made him want to deal with him directly.

"It's him, a lantern bearer!"

Captain Chang finally calmed down with Xiang Hua's comfort, and he immediately revealed the culprit behind all this.

"He is not a human being. He must not be a human being. He is too scary."

Captain Chang started to speak incoherently again as he recalled:
"Lao Zhang was about to attack him, but the next second Lao Zhang actually...actually...

"vomit!"

He retched violently. There was no food left in his stomach. He felt so uncomfortable that his eyes and nose were red and tears were streaming.

After a long description, Zhang Qi listened quietly, and a person's name emerged in his mind.

Chen Ningan!
The physical features Captain Chang described are extremely similar to his, almost identical. "I should know."

He stopped Captain Chang from continuing his incoherent speech and looked out the window, which saw a dead silent and dilapidated village.

This area has ancient Qing architectural style from about two hundred years ago, and is also one of the places the territory master often visits.

"Mr. Zhang, who is this person?"

Xiang Hua was shocked by Captain Chang's condition: "Could it be from the human realm?"

Among his opponents in Zhongcheng, he could only think of this force, and only they could scare Captain Chang like this.

"Not sure." Zhang Qi answered him:

"According to common sense, if he doesn't join us, he will have to join the Human Realm. However, if he joins the Human Realm, the Human Realm will not let him participate in this lantern event."

Zhang Qi felt that he could no longer see through this young man. He was less than 20 years old, but he was smarter than an old man in his 50s or 60s. Coupled with his extraordinary reasoning ability...

Very tricky.

"The person you are talking about is the Chen Ningan who was reported earlier?"

Suddenly, someone spoke in the shadows next to the campfire, which attracted his attention.

That... that shouldn't be considered a person. It has short limbs but a body that's more than two meters long. It has to bend over into a C shape when sitting on the ground to get close to the campfire.

He is one of the external aids in this operation. It is too risky to rely on Zhang Qi and Liang Huanan alone to deal with the territory lord.

"It's him."

Zhang Qi took a deep breath and said, "I have come into contact with him a few times, but we have never really fought each other. After all, this is in reality, and many things are not appropriate."

"He clearly rejected our invitation. I thought he had already joined the human realm, but now it seems that is not the case."

"If I remember correctly, the mark of Chen Ning'an's lantern is this Frost Corpse Realm."

"Yes, now I am getting more and more confused."

Zhang Qi said to him, "I'm worried that he might do something that would affect our plan."

"Mr. Zhou Mingyu, if you encounter him, I suggest you kill him if you can."

"Taking revenge?" Zhou Mingyu smiled faintly, revealing his long chest, abdomen and ribs:

"Don't worry too much. He is not the guide yet. Once this mission is successful, there will be no need for the Frost Corpse Realm to exist."

"He will no longer pose a threat to us."

"Hopefully."

Zhang Qi added another bed board to the campfire and looked at the burning flames in deep thought.

"Mr. Zhang!"

Suddenly, a Ye'an man said, "Our people have news. They found the trace of the territory master."

"Where is it?" Zhang Qi stood up instantly.

"In the Frostbone Area!" Ye Anren reported: "According to Mr. Liang's information, traces of the Human Realm were found there, and it is suspected that they are going to attack the Realm Master."

"Hurry, we can't let them get there first!"

Zhang Qi packed up his things and ignored the fire on the ground: "Move first!"

The problem with the Lord of the Cold Corpse Realm this time is their biggest chance. If the Human Realm gets there first, Zhongcheng will definitely have a hard time in the future.

The so-called cold bone zone refers to the cold corpses from long ago, which are gradually rotting and exposing the bones.

The flesh and blood of these things will give birth to cold corpses, and their bones are a kind of terrifying weirdness.

Chen Ning'an checked the guide in the thorn forest and determined the direction he wanted to go.

northwest.

In the Di Tian Tai hexagram, Qian is in the northwest, which is the place of perfection.

At the same time, Qian Gua is the main one, which is the most suitable position for the owner of the realm to appear in the Gua.

He closed his eyes and walked along the way. He heard a lot of noises, which might be those of the cold corpses.

Until he touched a round object under his feet.

"do not move!"

There was a voice reminding me ahead.

"If you take another step, I'll pull out all the bones in your body!"

Threaten him?
Chen Ning'an took out the talisman and was ready to teach the other party a lesson.

Perhaps he noticed that he was about to take action, so the man hurriedly explained:

"Don't worry, you can open your eyes here. Take a look at what's under your feet first."

Can you open your eyes?

Chen Ning'an didn't believe that the level of wooden talisman could be regenerated, and that process was also very painful.

"Brother, listen to me. You are carrying a coffin on your back, which is locked with eight fist-thick chains. You are wearing a black coat and pants, and you are about 1.8 meters tall..."

He described Chen Ning'an's appearance in detail and only then did he gain his trust.

As soon as the talisman was collected, Chen Ning'an opened his eyes and was shocked by the scene before him.

Skeletons stood one after another in the wilderness.

There are giant monsters, humans, and strange creatures.

Standing intact on the ground.

The view here was clear. When he turned around, he found that the road he came from was full of miasma.

He also had a bone under his feet, and not far ahead reminded him that there was a man holding a lantern.

Coincidentally, this person was also stepping on a piece of bone.

"Brother, do you see that there is a bone under the feet of the skeletons around you?"

Chen Ningan looked in the direction where it appeared and it was indeed the case. In front of the bone there were also some lumpy objects.

Some were dry, some were still fresh, especially next to the lantern man, there were several clumps of things wearing clothes.

"They were all my teammates. They kept moving forward after stepping on the bones, but the bones remained in place while the flesh broke free and they couldn't even scream."
