That's amazing survival skills!

Having obtained the item, Lin Yuan didn't have time to examine what it was, but the current time for the night lanterns was almost up, so he took out a new night lantern and tossed it over.

"When the time is almost up, take turns pressing the buttons."

Lin Yuan stood aside and began to frantically crank the lever. With a creaking sound, the rope lowered the wooden bucket, which then fell into the well with a splash.

Looking closer, he saw that the wooden bucket was lying next to the female corpse, filled with water and sinking. Lin Yuan was swinging the rope, struggling to tangle it around the female corpse's ankles.

"It shouldn't fall off, right?"

Crunch!Crunch!

The lever swayed back and forth, the heavy rope slowly carrying the female corpse and the bucket full of water upwards.

Suddenly, a hand landed on my shoulder, its touch icy cold.

Lin Yuan's movements stopped abruptly, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He dared not continue shaking the joystick.

"Stop messing around. Is it something a human being would do to make someone's bride soak in water?"

"Miss, it will take another two days."

The voice behind me was hoarse and cold, its tone as harsh and unpleasant as the cawing of a crow on a branch.

"Alright, the wedding is in two days anyway, so you'd better bring the bride out then." Lin Yuan slowly turned the lever, and the female corpse slowly descended.

The icy, bone-chilling hand that had been resting on his shoulder slowly moved away.

Lin Yuan stopped what he was doing, turned his head and saw that Xiong Tianming, Monk Liujie and Lawei were pale, their pupils were trembling and they were swallowing hard.

Who was that just now?

Lavie raised her hand and pointed to the old woman standing not far away at the door.

Lin Yuan looked in the direction the other person was pointing and saw the old woman standing at the door, wearing a long robe, with her arms hanging at her sides. Her soul was floating and looked as if she might disappear at any moment.

It seems that forcibly entering the night lantern earlier caused considerable harm to the old woman!

Lin Yuan turned to look at the corpse hanging upside down in the well, swallowed hard, and silently took out a new night lantern.

Seeing Lin Yuan's actions, the monk from the Six Realms' pupils widened suddenly. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Lin Yuan's wrist, and hissed, "Are you crazy, kid?!"

"Do you know that what you're doing will kill us!"

Lin Yuan shook off the Six Realms Monk's hand and lit the night lantern. "We'll run like mad in a bit. I don't believe it can catch up."

"Besides, although I don't know if this bride is the one behind it all, we'll still die if she wakes up in two days. We might as well take a gamble now!"

"If we ruin her cultivation, she won't be without the strength to fight back."

"That old woman?" Monk Liujie secretly glanced at the old woman standing at the door, and unconsciously increased the speed at which he turned the prayer beads in his hand.

"Then good luck to her." Lin Yuan bit the night lantern. "Even if she gets in, her strength will be greatly reduced, and she's nothing to fear."

The two were speaking very softly, but their hearing was so sharp, how could they not hear them?

Although such an operation was risky, it seemed to be the only chance of survival.

Fight!

Xiong Tianming reluctantly took out a night lantern and lit it.

You should know that they only had three of these lamps. They used one when they came, and now they have to use one more, so they only have one left!

Crunch!Crunch!

The sound was even more urgent than before, and the rope and barrel were rising very quickly.

The moment they reached the wellhead, the three of them turned and fled at an extreme speed.

"Damn it, they have no loyalty whatsoever!"

Lin Yuan cursed inwardly, but dared not delay. With lightning speed, he removed the belt from his ankle, hoisted the female corpse onto his shoulder, and rushed out.

"Miss!"

The old woman sensed the corpse leaving the well water, a shrill scream began to rise, and her neck swished around, making a cracking sound as if bones were dislocating. She then darted out following the sound.

The chill behind him intensified, but Lin Yuan dared not turn around at all.

"You thief who stole the young lady!"

A shrill whistle sounded from behind, and Lin Yuan felt an increasingly intense, bone-chilling coldness creeping into his bones, trying to freeze him in place.

It was obvious that the old woman's target was the female corpse on her shoulder.

Just as I was about to call them to take over, there was no sign of the three people ahead.

The nearest candlelight had become a dim little dot, and it had already run twenty or thirty meters away!

"groove!"

Lin Yuan cursed, not daring to stop, and could only frantically run forward. If it weren't for the rope dangling between his teeth and the night light, it would have fallen long ago.

"You thief!"

The chilling feeling was getting closer and closer, as if it were just two or three meters behind me!

"Damn it, I let you get this close!"

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth, took out a night lantern from his backpack, lit it, and slammed it to the ground.

With a force of 100 points, it was thrown to the ground with all its might.

Snapped!

The lantern was smashed, and the lamp oil spilled all over the ground, burning fiercely in the flames.

"ah!!!!"

A piercing sound came from behind, and the chilling feeling gradually weakened, but Lin Yuan dared not relax for a moment.

[Settlement in progress....]

You and others created 20 night lanterns, and you found the Bagua diagram.

You found the female corpse inside the Kan trigram and took her away (you are currently on the run).

"Add points! All in on Agility!"

Agility 40 - Agility 60

A warm current flowed from within the spinal cord, running down the legs and extending continuously.

Lin Yuan only felt that her feet were warm, but not sweaty. As the warmth was absorbed by her muscles, she felt light under her feet, and each step she took was much stronger than before.

It's also faster!

The screams behind him gradually subsided, but Lin Yuan didn't believe that the other party was dead.

Because when passing by the connecting corridor.

The lake reflected the image of the old woman behind him, her body glowing with flames!

Even after being injured, the old woman continued her frantic pursuit, though at a slower pace than before.

With his agility index skyrocketing, Lin Yuan spent more than ten minutes finally reaching the attic. He quickly pushed open the door, fell to the ground with a thud, and the female corpse rolled away into the distance.

"Holy crap, you actually came back!"

Xiong Tianming stood up from the stool and walked towards Lin Yuan, intending to help Lin Yuan up. Through the open door and the light from inside the house reaching under the eaves, he saw the old woman, her body engulfed in flames and her face no longer recognizable as human, standing opposite them, staring intently at them.

"Holy crap! You brought this whole thing back?!"

The monks from the Six Realms and Lawei also stood up, their bodies tense.

Although this attic can keep those monsters out, you have to know that this old woman is a formidable character who can enter the range of the night lanterns, something other monsters can't do!

"Miss!" The old woman, her body ablaze with fire, roared into the attic.

Lin Yuan stood up, looked at the old woman who was engulfed in flames, patted the dust off his body, picked up the still-burning lantern, walked to the door, and waved it forward.

The old woman took several steps back, clearly terrified of the night lanterns.

"Damn it, get out of here! If you don't leave, I'll burn you alive with this thing!"

The old woman remained standing in the same spot.

It wasn't until Lin Yuan stepped out of the house with the lantern in hand and stood on the front eaves that the lantern was raised above his head, as if he was about to throw it away.

The old woman vanished into the darkness in an instant.

Lin Yuan, who was under the eaves, finally breathed a sigh of relief, quickly retreated back into the house, turned off the night light, slumped into a chair, picked up a teacup and took a sip. "Damn it, I wonder if that old woman will come back again."

"Damn it, you actually brought the body back." Xiong Tianming sat down next to Lin Yuan, pointing to the corpse still lying on the ground, and asked, "What are you planning to do with it?"

"Ah, this..."

Looking at the female corpse, Lin Yuan was also at a loss for what to do.

At that moment, all he was thinking about was bringing the body back; even if he was an opponent, he couldn't let the other side have a happy ending.

But now that we've actually brought the body back, what to do with it is a real headache.

"I suggest that since Lin Yuan brought the body back, let him take it back to his room to hide it. After all, there's already someone living in his room, so one more person won't make a difference." La smiled at Lin Yuan. "You don't want that ugly dwarf to know about the body, do you?"

"That would expose us completely."
