Weak in affinity talent? Female ghosts are eager to give hints.

"this..."

An Lan was still staring blankly at the apple...

"Da da da—"

[Liaoye] was already jogging, rushing towards [the meditation room].

"This guy..."

An Lan stuffed the apple into her pocket, smiled helplessly, and followed them back to the [Zen Room].

Inside the meditation room, Zhao Kuo was fast asleep, completely at ease. Long Ao, Wen Lan, and Jiang Lai seemed to be discussing something—"Long Ao, did you set your sights on An Lan from the very beginning because of the [Resurrection]?"

"Oh?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't try to fool me, I'm telling you... I tested you with the Sword of Pinocchio! You are—"

"Creak—"

The conversation was abruptly interrupted by the sound of the door being pushed open.

Long Ao and the other two all turned to look at An Lan, who had returned. An Lan looked at them strangely and asked, "What are you studying?"

"Ah! It's nothing! It's nothing!"

"How's your investigation going, Mr. Succubus?"

Upon seeing An Lan return, Jiang Lai immediately interrupted the conversation and forced a smile.

An Lan waved her hand: "I think I have a rough idea..."

"Oh?"

"What is it?"

Long Ao immediately became interested.

"In this temple, there was also a nun named Huanglian, but she went missing a year ago after leaving... She once asked Liaoye to retrieve the Buddhist prayer beads from her room, but there were no prayer beads in Liaoye's room..."

"so..."

"Huh? What you're saying is all very vague."

Jiang Lai didn't understand, but Long Ao blinked: "So! You suspect that [Liao Ye]'s Buddhist beads are in another world? Since [Huang Lian] knows about the existence of the [Buddhist beads], it means she has been to another world..."

"She left the temple a year ago, not to wander aimlessly, but to another world, never to return?"

"That's right!"

"Hiss—this is definitely a message..."

"Is there anything else?"

"And... there used to be a well in the temple... that well..."

An Lan was speaking...

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Abrupt!

The familiar tremor came, like a massive earthquake, and the entire meditation room shook violently! Tiles fell, dust covered everything, and the five people swayed from side to side as the meditation room began to collapse rapidly...

"Holy shit! Holy shit!"

"boom!!!"

Once you stand still and look around, where is the "meditation room" anymore?

An Lan and his three companions stood on a patch of black earth covered with the roots of an old tree. Zhao Kuo was lying on a section of the tree trunk, looking around in a daze!

"Holy crap!"

"This is?!"

"Tick-tock...tick-tock...tick-tock..."

Blood mist filled the air, and drops of viscous liquid dripped from above. The road ahead was murky and empty. After a long silence, the five people stared at each other, and then Long Ao, slightly surprised, looked at An Lan.

"You're right... there really is another dimension here..."

"But why did it only appear at night?"

"this..."

"..."

The two remained silent for a long while, neither able to figure out the reason...

......

In the distance, a thousand meters away from An Lan and her group, on a tree root, Kshatriya and his companions also looked around with strange expressions.

"What's going on?!"

"Where...where is this?"

"It seems to be another dimension? Like the underworld?"

Shudra responded with a look of surprise: "No wonder...no wonder that old nun wanted us to stay for seven days. It turns out this place changes at night! Seven days...we have to endure seven days here?!"

"Tsk—"

"That's probably it..."

Kshatriya nodded, his gaze dark.

The Brahmin's expression was somewhat somber. After looking around, he repeatedly urged, "Captain... we must only follow them, and absolutely must not attack!"

"The stars...the stars..."

"nonsense!"

"I'm not an idiot!"

"Keep quiet, everyone! I want to see what the Dragon Kingdom team is up to in this space!"

"Walk!"

"Rustling..."

The three crouched low in the mist, disappearing into the thicket of tree roots, approaching the group of five ahead...

......

"Let's keep moving forward..."

"With five people together, there's no need to worry about any unexpected events..."

An Lan glanced at Zhao Kuo, and her nerves relaxed considerably.

Last time, he single-handedly traversed forest paths and battled aerial bone palms against a multicolored serpent and a pool of skeletons, barely managing to collapse in the end...

That's because they had no other choice!

But what about this time?

With Zhao Kuo around, what is there to fear?

Let's go!

"Let's see if we can find that [coptis chinensis], maybe she knows something..."

"Tap tap tap—"

Long Ao responded, and the group hurried along, crossing the rugged ground of tree roots. Before them, two rows of withered trees appeared again, and at the end of the withered trees, a well stood alone on the black soil.

"here?"

"..."

Long Ao glanced at the path lined with dead trees that seemed to welcome him, and instinctively took a few steps back.

Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes, about to step forward, but An Lan stopped him: "Everyone... there's no need to act now... just follow me and recite the Heart Sutra..."

"ha?"

"The Heart Sutra?!"

Zhao Kuo looked at An Lan in surprise, but An Lan did not offer any explanation. Instead, he took a step forward.

"tread--"

With a single step onto the forest path, the bare tree trunks suddenly swayed violently, the reins flew off, and the shriveled corpses began to sway along with them...

"When Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva was practicing the profound Prajnaparamita, he perceived that the five aggregates are all empty, and thus transcended all suffering and distress!"

"..."

As the scriptures were recited, the swaying, dried-up corpses appeared to An Lan as skeletons.

An Lan walked quickly forward along the road amidst the swaying skeletons on both sides, emerging unscathed!

"this..."

While Zhao Kuo was still hesitating, Long Ao, watching An Lan's retreating figure, followed after her almost without thinking: "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva..."

"Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva..."

Wen Lan followed suit!

"Avalokiteshvara..."

"..."

Immediately after Jiang Lai caught up, Zhao Kuo finally began reciting scriptures reluctantly, and the five of them marched through the forest path in a single line!

Once they had completely left the path, Long Ao and the others looked back at the swaying white bones on the tree trunk and marveled at the sight.

"The White Bone Contemplation?"

"The saying 'to view bones as a beautiful woman' was originally a benevolent interpretation... but I never expected it to be interpreted negatively here..."

"I just saw a girl group swaying in the trees. If it weren't for the Heart Sutra, I probably would have really wanted to get closer to take a look!"

"Oh? Captain Long, you like girl groups?"

"What I saw was a coffee shop maid—"

"What I saw was Anlan..."

"What I see is barbecue..."

"..."

The conversation was going well until Zhao Kuo spoke, at which point everyone gave him a strange look, bringing the discussion to an end.

"Captain Zhao..."

"I know you're feeling a bit uncomfortable holding it in..."

"Then, this next stretch of road is yours to handle..."

An Lan glanced at the bamboo path behind the well and called out to Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes, seemingly having held back for a long time, then turned his head and walked to the front: "Although I don't know why you made me go first, but..."

"It doesn't matter what comes..."

"To me, they're all just food!"

He swaggered ahead, leading the way. An Lan kept a distance of about ten meters from him before calling for Long Ao and the others to slowly follow!

On this bamboo path, the bone palms that seemed to fall from the sky covered a large area.

Let Zhao Kuo attract the Bone Palm; this time, he won't need to use up [Hua Jiu Mountain Fragrance].

"Anlan...why don't you go check that well..."

"I think there's something special about that well!"

Jiang Lai followed behind An Lan, constantly glancing at the well behind them. An Lan didn't object, nodding, "It's not that I don't want to look! It's just... are you sure that well isn't a bottomless pit?"

"this..."

"Jumping in rashly is too risky... Let's explore the area ahead first, and then check the well last..."

"That makes sense, Anlan is right!"

Long Ao followed, and the group traveled further and further into the mist...

......

rear.

The three Kshatriyas watched from afar as An Lan and her group passed through the forest path. All three stared blankly at the skeletons scattered along the path, utterly bewildered.

Without entering the path, standing at a distance, all I could see were my own fantasies.

"Star...Star Girl?"

"How...how could I see something like this?"

The Brahman was already somewhat delirious, and subconsciously began to walk towards the forest path.

"Is...is it a monitor lizard? A monitor lizard-human hybrid?"

"So many...so many—"

Shudra looked up at the sky, his face flushed with excitement!

"Damn it..."

"How could I see my dead wife?"

"There are many more?!"

"Damn it! Damn it! This isn't right! What was that An Lan reciting just now? The Heart Sutra? Damn it—how could he recite that stuff?!"

"How did he know that reciting the Heart Sutra would solve the problem?!"

Kshatriya bit his lip, his feet already moving uncontrollably towards the forest path. He was aware that the hallucinations before him were all his own thoughts, and... his body was also restless!

"[Invalidate]...[Invalidate]!!!"

"Stop idioting! [Nullify]!!!"

"Yes...yes!!!"

Awakened from their desires by the Kshatriyas, the Brahmins and Shudras were immediately taken aback and, before entering the path, simultaneously activated [Nullify]!

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

Three invisible rhythms swept through the center of the path, and the swaying beauties around them instantly turned into skeletons, which kept making a "clucking" sound.

"Damn! It's just bones! I really thought it was a monitor lizard!"

The Shudra's words clearly carried these regrets.

The three of them ran wildly, and when they reached the well, Kshatriya paused in surprise.

He had also considered whether he should risk going down to take a look.

But when they thought about how the Dragon Kingdom team was leading the way and could solve everything, why should they worry about anything?

The thought flashed through their minds for a moment, and the three of them quickly ran towards the bamboo path...
