The lights in the darkness will flicker due to the arrival of ghosts, the sound of wind chimes will turn from soft to sharp, and the red rope will fade...
Li Mo would not tell Changle and others that there was a ghost, and even if he did, they would not believe it.
They will only believe these things when they see them with their own eyes.
But by then, I'm afraid death won't be far away.
The shroud was a ghost, controlling the dead to mingle among the crowd.
Most of the color of the red rope on his body has faded, which means that he has attracted a lot of bad things, and may even have been among the crowd.
Wait until night to turn into a real ghost.
Li Mo fled in a hurry without warning anyone because he needed the disobedient people to stay there to hold back the unknown ghost.
After all, it was discovered too late and there was no time to deal with it.
Li Mo's goal is to bring Hua back. Hua must be trapped in the place where the strange source comes from. There is no reason for him to waste time on a group of unrelated people.
Even if I have a restart, life is still precious and the restart cannot be wasted in such a place.
"The road where the dead walk... the road where the dead walk..."
Changle repeated what Li Mo said, and suddenly changed the subject: "Yellow Springs Road...?!"
"I don't know if this is the Yellow Springs Road, but if you keep going, you'll soon reach the gates of hell." Li Mo teased, "Let's go, up the mountain."
After Li Mo made it clear, it became clear that a few people among the crowd had the intention to retreat and wanted to gather together for warmth.
Changle showed a solemn expression. She had heard of ghost stories in the palace, but this was Taixu Mountain, where immortals lived.
If there are demons and monsters here, then the immortal standing on the mountain and being admired by people is not...
"If that's the case... what about them? There are still many people behind who haven't come up yet. I'll go and ask them to catch up with us. It's safer for us to be together, and we can be prepared for the next death." Someone said.
It’s good to care about teammates, and Li Mo doesn’t mind.
But in this situation, we obviously cannot be kind, because no one knows whether the person following is a human or a ghost.
Some ghosts can be identified by their characteristics, such as the human-headed ghost; others cannot.
Li Mo didn't want to follow a ghost about whom he had no information. If he accidentally triggered the law of instant death, he would waste his life in vain and increase the risk of using a human-headed ghost.
The human-headed ghost will prioritize attacking those with good physical fitness. If Li Mo dies again and reaches the state of double death, then most of the monsters will not be as physically superior as him.
Naturally, the human-headed ghost cannot be used.
Li Mo climbed up the mountain quickly, and the temperature on the thermometer also dropped sharply.
Judging from the sudden death without any warning just now, it is very likely that he encountered another ghost, which triggered the rule of instant death.
The law of instant death is triggered, and there is almost no room for buffering or resistance.
Just like the rule that anyone who opens the door and enters St. Freya's College will die, Li Mo never dared to enter the door when completing the funeral process.
This kind of weirdness is difficult to deal with because the mortality rate is too high.
"Hey! I'm calling you! Stop! If you don't wait for others to catch up, what if something unexpected happens?" Someone shouted at Li Mo.
Li Mo stopped, his face slightly sullen, looking a little angry.
"You have to wait by yourself. Don't blame me if you die. Even if I'm alone, I can still reach the summit."
After saying that, Li Mo ran towards the top of the mountain without looking back.
This move put everyone in a dilemma.
On one side is the mysterious bright moon, and on the other side is the companion who has been with you for a long time. If you choose one side, you will abandon the other. A blind choice may even kill yourself.
"Changle...what should we do? Should we follow them, or stay here and wait for the others?"
Four sturdy men in black, with rich inner energy emanating from their bodies, surrounded Changle, waiting for instructions.
There were three ordinary warriors and an ordinary person who looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Changle took a look and saw that the team that originally went up the mountain had about twenty people, but now there were only nine people here.
If they choose to follow, their team will lose about 60% of its members, which is very unprofitable for them since their goal is to reach the summit.
While climbing the Tongtian Road, you will definitely encounter strange things that may cost lives. Everyone has agreed to use their own unique skills without hiding anything. Life and death are determined by fate, and whoever is supposed to go up will go up.
Changle originally planned that among the more than 20 people, except for a few ordinary people, the rest were all outstanding geniuses in the martial arts world, and there was a high possibility that they would reach the top of the mountain.
Even if most of them are killed, they can still survive to the end and meet the immortal.
"Let's wait for someone, Changle. Although we don't know each other intimately, we've at least gotten to know each other pretty well along the way. Could it be that a stranger who shows up along the way is more trustworthy?"
A warrior stood up and expressed his opinion.
"Indeed, that young man's origins are unknown. We walked on the Tongtian Road for two days, and several people died before we got here. The Taixu Tongtian Road is definitely not something that can be reached by one person alone. It has nothing to do with strength. Some levels must be filled by others."
"I'll do whatever you say. I'll follow the majority opinion." The ordinary person echoed.
Suddenly, all eyes were focused on Changle, and the men in black remained silent.
Obviously Changle is their master, and whatever the master says is what they do.
"If we delay, something will happen. The team behind us should be able to reach the summit without any accidents. If something goes wrong, it will be useless for us to join them."
"Since the brother who calls himself Mingyue is so confident, he must be hiding some secrets. It won't be too much of a disadvantage for us to follow him."
Changle explained his decision in detail, but he was actually very uneasy inside.
He had no idea where this uneasiness came from, but the jade pendant on his waist was vibrating, allowing him to know the coming crisis earlier than many others.
Li Mo's previous strange behaviors made him feel that Li Mo knew a lot of things but was unwilling to reveal them.
Maybe he has already revealed it, but no one cares.
Changle recalled Li Mo's words in his mind: "If you insist on climbing to the summit, not only will you not get what you want, but no more than a handful of you will be able to come down the mountain alive."
It's not about going up the mountain alive, but going down the mountain alive...
If this statement is not a lie, then it means that he clearly knows what the danger is.
The danger of going up the mountain seemed insignificant to him.
If this is true, then if you want to reach the top and pay your respects to the immortal and return alive, you must follow him.
"start running."
Changle led the way and was the first to catch up.
The four men in black behind him followed Changle without hesitation.
Several warriors stood there in a daze, gritted their teeth and decided to follow.
Only ordinary people ran a few steps breathlessly, stopped by the roadside, and chose to wait for the main force.
"Damn it! I didn't believe my famous companions in the martial arts world, but chose to believe a stranger who showed up halfway!"
The average person complained, sitting on the ground to adjust himself.
The long climb was too physically demanding. Even if he wanted to keep up, he didn't have the strength.
I could only sit there and wait for the crowd behind me to come up.
"Just the few of you, how can you reach the top without anyone risking your life? If you encounter some kind of unkillable 'demon' that takes your life, you have to let us ordinary people get in the way!"
"Instead of that, I might as well follow a group of more than 20 people. At least if there's danger, I won't be the first to bear the brunt, and there's still a chance of reaching the summit."
"That's right. How could a team of more than 20 people all die? With just a few of them, it wouldn't take long for them to die, and they still couldn't reach the summit! The team with more people behind them is more reliable."
The man sighed and felt indignant.
The sun gradually sets in the west, and its afterglow shines on the mountain ridge, casting a golden-red glow.
The trees in the valley cast long shadows that grew longer and darker as the sun sank.
Among the mottled shadows of the trees, a hunched figure slowly walked towards the mountain.
The leaves were swaying gently, making a rustling sound.
As the sun sets, the sky loses its daytime brightness and gradually sinks into a hazy twilight.
The mountains in the distance were shrouded in twilight, and their outlines gradually became blurred.
As night fell, stars began to twinkle, dotting the dark sky. The faint starlight made the mountain road appear vaguely visible.
The creatures in the valley gradually became silent, leaving only the occasional chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects, which flew around and made noisy, sharp, and frightened calls...
"Meow……"
A sharp and piercing cat cry was out of place in the middle level of Tongtian Road. Creatures like cats and dogs should not appear here.
The man gradually woke up from his nap, opened his ears carefully and listened attentively, but still did not hear a single footstep.
From the moment he sat down to wait, no footsteps were heard from below.
This is totally unreasonable. It shouldn't take too long to catch up with such a long distance, right?
The man shook his head, trying to get rid of the terrible thoughts in his mind.
"No, no... How could a team of over twenty people all die? They must have been too cautious, spending a lot of time dealing with the emergency, and then stopped to rest when it was getting late."
"Damn it! If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have followed Changle and the others. Now I'm all alone!"
The man came up with a reasonable explanation to comfort himself.
In his understanding, the people in the large group were people he could never reach in his lifetime and could only look up to. They were all outstanding people, so how could they be wiped out in such an unclear manner?
"Meow……"
It was another familiar cat meow, but this time there was a new situation.
A dead tabby black cat suddenly fell from the tree above the man's head, hit the ground, and shed a lot of blood.
"Where did this dead cat come from? Get out of here!"
The angry man kicked the dead black cat away, but the black cat's eyes never closed and it stared at the man.
The man pulled his clothes tighter, and a chill ran down his spine.
The air around suddenly turned cold, as if winter had arrived. The chirping of insects stopped, making people feel uneasy.
Just then, the most unexpected cry appeared.
"Meow……"
This is the third cat meow.
The first sound told him that I was here.
The second sound was the man's last chance, but he didn't seize it.
When the third cat meow sounds, the law of death is triggered.
"Thum...thum...thum..."
Light footsteps were heard from the corner. The man was overjoyed, thinking that the team behind had sent someone to look for him.
So he walked happily to the corner, but to his disappointment he did not see the crowd. Instead, he saw a hunchbacked old man in shroud. His body was distorted beyond belief, and his towering hunchback was even taller than his head.
"Who are you?"
The man asked impatiently, reaching out to lift the other person's hat to check.
But when he stretched out his hand, he was surprised to find that his hand had completely changed.
Beast-like hair grew on his arms, and his human fingers shrank and grew sharp claws.
"Hallucination...it must be an illusion!"
The man shook his head wildly and blinked hard, trying to wake himself up.
After opening his eyes, what he saw remained unchanged, and his hands had completely turned into cat's claws.
Soon, the night seemed to no longer be dark, and the man's vision was still clear and bright in the darkness, but the color suddenly changed.
After the cat's claws lifted the hunchbacked old man's hat, the face of the black cat that had just died was suddenly revealed underneath the hat, and the resemblance was extremely high.
The man was frightened and was about to scream, but he heard a cat's meow coming from his dry throat.
"Meow……"
Then, accompanied by a whimper, the man's face twisted and deformed, becoming more and more like the spotted black cat that had been killed.
His spine was broken and arched, his back bulged like a small hill, his head slowly drooped, and his consciousness faded.
