Chapter 96

It happened so quickly that no one had time to react. The archaeologist closest to the burial pit was the first to be pulled down.

"Ah, help, help me …"

In the blink of an eye, the man's cries for help disappeared. The archaeologist's screams were devoured by the white skeletons.

The others panicked when they saw this scene. They screamed and ran. Han Lijun saw this and shielded Gu Bai behind her. She immediately raised her sword and led the soldiers to stop the skeletons.

Although they usually used interstellar weapons such as mechas, their martial arts were not weak. Earth's ancient martial arts had been greatly developed in the Interstellar. The soldiers' sword skills were very sharp, and they crushed the skeletons that rushed up like a gust of wind.

However, no matter how strong the soldiers were, there were tens of thousands of white skeletons in the burial pit. It was impossible to kill all of them. Some unlucky people were pulled out by the white skeletons and were devoured in the time it took to say a few words.

However, the strange thing was that the skeletons and resentful ghosts did not dare to approach Gu Bai. It was as if they were afraid of him.

"It's over. They're dead for sure …"

The people on the Interstellar Web saw this scene and their hearts sank.

These people in the tomb were all talents of the Empire. There was also General Han, the general who protected the Empire. The Empire was able to achieve its current status in the Interstellar Web because of General Han and these soldiers.

At this moment, Gu Bai ran out from behind Han Lijun. He quickly took out a water bottle filled with black dog's blood and drew a large circle on the spot. He then sprinkled glutinous rice and shouted loudly.

"Don't run around. These are resentful ghosts that were buried with us. They have lost their humanity. All of you, come into this circle!"

After that, Gu Bai did not care if the others listened. He took out a long sword and jumped to Han Lijun's side to help her fight the enemies. The long sword that was imbued with spirit energy slashed down and the attacking skeletons turned into ashes.

Some of the skeletons that were close to the circle he had drawn just now screamed as if they had been burned. They did not dare to come closer.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this. Then, they reacted and did not delay any longer. They rushed to hide in the circle of dog's blood.

The remaining soldiers began to slowly retreat only after all the Scholars had entered the protective circle. They were the best soldiers of the Empire, and protecting the citizens of the Empire had become their deep-rooted obsession.

After the rest of the skeletons hid in the circle, everyone heaved a sigh of relief and stared at the skeletons outside the circle.

"I, I want to go back. How can there be ghosts in this world?

Aren't they skeletons? Why do they eat humans … "

Everyone's voice was trembling. Other than people like Gu Bai and Nangong Xuan, almost everyone in the Galaxy didn't believe in these supernatural things, but now, they had no choice but to believe it.

"Qiao-Qiao, what should we do now?"

Everyone looked at Gu Bai with a lingering fear in their hearts. They had thought that Gu Bai was just a silly, nymphomaniac who was causing trouble. Only now did they realize that they had been blind. He was clearly an expert.

To be able to resist those terrifying skeletons and resentful ghosts by drawing such an unknown circle, how powerful was that?

Now, no one dared to look down on him. They all saw him as a life-saving straw.

"I've already warned you that this tomb is dangerous. It's normal to encounter hostile ghosts. If you don't want to die, stop crying. This female ghost is definitely not the only one in such a big tomb. If you want to live, listen to me. Place these mahogany sticks around the spot where I sprinkled dog blood every ten centimeters. Then, wrap these ropes that have been soaked in medicine around it …"

Gu Bai muttered to himself as he took out a few mahogany nails and a bundle of black rope and stuffed them into everyone's hands. This time, no one dared to question him and obediently followed his instructions. However, everyone was very scared, and their movements were very slow.

Han Lijun motioned for the soldiers to help. Then, she grabbed Gu Bai's hand tightly and said softly, "They won't hurt you, right?"

Gu Bai was stunned for a moment, then nodded. His serious expression disappeared and turned into a clear smile. He pointed to his forehead and said, "The tomb owner allowed me to come in."

"Yes …"

Han Lijun reached out and held his face. She breathed a sigh of relief and bent down to kiss the flame mark on his forehead. Her actions were gentle and caring. With the tomb owner's permission and the ability to defend himself, even if he wasn't around, he could still get out safely.

He didn't say this out loud, but Gu Bai could feel it. It was as if something deep in his soul was being pulled, making him feel like crying.

At this time, the soldiers had also placed all the mahogany nails around the circle. The skeletons outside seemed to feel fear, but they didn't retreat. Instead, they continued to surround the circle.

"Let's try to contact the outside with our communicators and personal terminals again …"

Everyone looked at the densely packed skeletons around them and was really scared. They couldn't help but suggest asking the people outside for help again.

"It's useless. This place has been sealed by a formation. The news can't get out. Even if the people outside know about it, they can't save us. If I'm not wrong, the person who set up the formation in this tomb is an extremely powerful immortal. Even if the people outside blow up this planet, this tomb might not necessarily be destroyed …"

Everyone was from the Interstellar, so they didn't understand the latter part of the sentence. However, they understood the first two sentences. Gu Bai was telling them the cruel truth of being trapped.

"Immortal?

Immortal?

How can there be immortals in this world?! "Nangong Xuan refuted without thinking, her face full of disbelief.

"The world is big and there are all kinds of strange things …"

Gu Bai wasn't in the mood to explain more to her. In fact, the situation at the moment was worse and stranger than what he had said.

From the energy that sealed the tomb, he could tell that the formation protecting the tomb was indeed set up by a righteous cultivator.

The layout of the tomb wasn't something that ordinary people could afford. There was an azure dragon guarding the tomb, and there was water. This was clearly a treasured place in terms of feng shui. In addition, there were some relief stone carvings along the way. This was indeed the tomb of an emperor.

However, the strange thing was that the emperor in this tomb didn't seem to be the real owner. Especially the evil spirit relief at the entrance of the tomb. It was clearly a representation of darkness, but it was also connected to the formation protecting the immortal from the righteous sects.

All these things were extremely contradictory and hard to understand. They couldn't help but wonder what kind of secret was hidden in this tomb!

However, before they found the secret, they had to survive first. Gu Bai frowned as he looked at the Yin Qi around them that was getting thicker and thicker.

The others also felt the thick Yin Qi. They didn't understand it, but they felt colder and colder. The faint female ghost's voice sounded around them again.

"I kindly allowed you to come to the Land of the Yellow Springs to enjoy life. Since you don't know how to appreciate kindness, don't blame me for being angry!"

After she finished speaking, everyone saw the skeletons in front of them disperse. In the dim light, a dark red figure slowly floated over.

When she got closer, everyone saw that it was a woman. Her hair was draped over her shoulders, and she wore the clothes of an ancient imperial concubine. She was very beautiful, but her skin was very pale. It was very eerie.

As she approached, everyone felt an inexplicable cold wind blow from the ground. They all shivered subconsciously. This was the baleful aura of a malicious ghost!

"It's been a long time since I've smelled such delicious flesh and blood. Hehehehe …"

The female ghost giggled as she spoke.

In the next moment, following her laughter, her hair waved like water snakes and attacked everyone.

"Ah, it's coming in!"

The hair entered the circle like a living thing. Although it sizzled when it touched the black dog blood on the ground, it couldn't stop the hair. Everyone retreated in fear.

"Help …"

A middle-aged man was suddenly entangled by the hair. His body couldn't help but be dragged out. In the blink of an eye, the man was dragged out. The skeletons excitedly swarmed forward. In a moment, the man was turned into a bloody skeleton.

The female ghost smiled eerily and licked her lips. She continued to use her hair to drag people. Everyone quickly took out their swords and guns to defend themselves, but it was useless.

"General, save me. General Han, save me …"

Nangong Xuan's position wasn't good. She was immediately entangled by the hair. She screamed in fear. Because she was standing on Han Lijun's side, she immediately grabbed Han Lijun's arm and pulled him along.

Seeing this, no one dared to get close. Everyone retreated. Only a few soldiers used their swords to cut off the hair.

Gu Bai also reacted. He immediately channeled his spiritual energy and cast a spell at the female ghost's hair. The hair immediately burned. The female ghost screamed and retracted her hair.

"Ah, my hair. I'm going to eat you!"

The female ghost screamed angrily. The hair on her head instantly moved and attacked.

Nangong Xuan had just been released, and before she could even catch her breath, she saw the scary hair running towards her again. Without thinking, she immediately grabbed a young scholar who was trying to save her and pushed him out to be taken away by the female ghost.

The person she pushed out didn't even have time to cry for help before he was eaten up by the skeletons. His screams deepened the fear in everyone.

The netizens on the Galactic Web were shocked when they saw this. They didn't expect that she would pull the person next to her to be her shield. Moreover, that person was saving her just now!

"This is too much. How can she push her savior to his death?!"

"Is this still our Empire's genius?

She's a murderer!

If she comes back, the Emperor will definitely exile her to the worst prison planet in the Galactic Web to suffer! "

The Galactic Web was in an uproar. The united people of the Galactic Web would never allow such selfish behavior to exist.

However, the situation in the ancient tomb was dangerous. The people inside didn't care if their actions would be recorded by the smart cameras. Everyone only had one thought in mind, and that was to save their lives. In order to save their lives, they would do many things that even they wouldn't think of.

Therefore, when everyone saw that the hair didn't dare to approach Gu Bai, they all ran behind him like a swarm of bees. Only Han Lijun stood in front of him.

Since she could not catch Han Lijun, the female ghost could only focus all her attention on Han Lijun. Her black hair twisted together like a giant python, trying to bite Han Lijun.

Just as it was about to bite Han Lijun, Gu Bai suddenly pushed her away. The female ghost's hair ended up biting his body.

In an instant, the blood flowing out of Gu Bai's body turned into flames that wrapped around the female ghost and burned her body, causing her to scream.

After the flames on her body were extinguished, the female ghost was no longer as ferocious as before. Her pale face was filled with fear. She quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Gu Bai, crying.

"Ah ah, Great Immortal, please spare me. Please spare me. I was wrong. I didn't do it on purpose. Please spare me, spare me …"
