The three of them formed a search team, leading three hounds and setting off from the camp north of Savage Valley.
The Savage Valley was located in the north-south direction, and to the north was the vast grassland of Outer Mongolia, which was their camp.
The southern side of Savage Valley was connected to the rolling mountains and the primeval forest.
At this moment, a strong northern wind was blowing, whistling into the Savage Valley. Because it was following the wind, the dog's nose was not very sharp at this time.
Lin Yi led the search team and shouted as they searched. They walked all the way to the southern exit of Savage Valley.
The trees here were already very dense. They were all white birch trees and larches. Other than the three people's shouts and the barking of the hounds, there was only the sound of the wind.
This place was too quiet, too strange!
It even seemed a little sinister.
There were no traces of animals or birds in this forest, not even the most common squirrel in the forest. It made people feel very depressed.
" Elder Lin, are we going in?!" Old Hu looked at Lin Yi hesitantly, unable to make up his mind.
It was hard to imagine what terrifying things could be in such a strange forest!
"Enter!"
Lin Yi took a deep breath and made a decision without hesitation.
One was for the three missing girls and three lives!
Secondly, he wanted to see if this was the Seven Stars Soul Suppressing Land!
"Good!"
Old Hu gritted his teeth. Now was not the time to be afraid.
The three of them led the hounds into the forest.
In the forest, the silence was terrifying. The dense trees were like umbrellas, covering the sky and the sun. The mountain wind blew the fallen leaves like snowflakes.
The three of them were not timid. They led the hounds into the depths of the forest.
Suddenly!
The three hounds barked non-stop.
As soon as Lin Yi let go of the rope, the hound flew out like an arrow.
Then, the three of them quickly followed the hound. Not long after, the three of them saw the three missing girls under a large pine tree.
When Lin Yi and the other two walked in, they saw that the three girls were all foaming at the mouth and lying unconscious under the pine tree.
Lin Yi checked their breathing and said," They're fine. Their breathing is stable. They're not poisoned."”
"It's good that you're fine." Old Hu heaved a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to pick up the three girls and bring them back, he heard Fatty shout in a low voice.
"Elder Lin, Elder Hu, look…Come and look…!!!!!”
It was unknown what Fatty saw, but his voice changed!
When Lin Yi and Old Hu heard this, they immediately put down the two girls and looked over.
It was a withered old locust tree.
Under the old tree, there was a circle of people. There were hundreds of them, all men. They were squatting there with their butts up. They were in rows, and only their backs could be seen!
At the same time, more and more men slowly walked towards the old tree. They walked under the old tree and squatted down with their heads in their hands.!
"Why are there so many people in Savage Gorge?! Where did they come from? What are you doing?" The more Fatty thought about it, the stranger it became. He felt a chill run down his spine.
What was even stranger was that no matter where these men came from, they could only see their backs and not their faces!
Lin Yi took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression," Who are these people? They're clearly all ghosts!”
When the fatty heard this, he felt even more terrified. He could not help but shrink back and say," Old Lin, don't talk nonsense!”
Lin Yi pointed at the tall ancient tree and said," Do you see that locust tree?! Locust trees had the most Yin attributes. One could tell from the name of the tree that it was a wood plus a ghost. If the locust tree withered, it would be even more Yin! This kind of withered old locust tree was called the Soul Suppressing Tree. If there were ghosts around the dead locust tree, they would be nailed within a few miles of the dead locust tree and could not go anywhere.”
Old Hu glanced at Lin Yi and nodded." Old Lin is right. There are similar records in the 'Suppress' section of my book. However, as long as we wait for the weather to clear up, we'll uproot the locust tree and burn it.”
However, Lin Yi shook his head and said," Old Hu, you're thinking too simply! Take a good look around…"
Old Hu immediately shifted his gaze to another direction.
In other directions, there were six other withered trees similar to the old locust tree in front of him!
There were hundreds of men squatting under each tree.
There were thousands of men in total!
What was even more terrifying was that these seven dead locust trees were actually arranged in a magical manner!
"If my guess is correct, these ghosts should be the laborers who were pulled over by the Japanese to build the fortress. After that, they were slaughtered by the Japanese and nailed to death by the Onmyoji who was proficient in the Yin-Yang Technique.”
"The seven ancient locust trees form the Seven Star Soul Suppressing Formation. If the locust tree is forcefully uprooted, I'm afraid it will die an unnatural death.”
Lin Yi glanced at the three people lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth.
These three were good examples.
The three of them were probably too curious, so they got too close and were washed away.
Fortunately, they were not too close to the seven ancient locust trees. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to keep their lives.
"What…what should we do?”Fatty asked nervously.
Old Hu was also at a loss and did not know what to do.
"Moreover, ordinary people can't see ghosts. Today, the weather in Savage Valley is strange, so we can see these ghosts. It was also possible that these ghosts were trying to use the heavenly secrets to break free from the shackles. However, from the scene before him, they probably failed. After today, as long as he didn't get close, nothing would happen.”
Fatty scolded angrily," Damn it, the Japanese are too inhumane! They all killed people, so that our compatriots would not be able to live in peace after their deaths.”
Old Hu took a deep breath and asked," Elder Lin, is there no other way? Not to mention letting these ghosts reincarnate, if it continued to exist, the villagers might still be in danger.”
"Simple."
As Lin Yi spoke, he walked towards the withered old locust tree.
When Lin Yi approached, a strong wind suddenly blew around him, and withered branches and leaves were blown all over the sky.
Old Hu and Fatty watched as Lin Yi entered. In the blink of an eye, Lin Yi disappeared into the wind.
In front of them was a sandstorm, and their vision was completely blocked.
Fatty looked worriedly in the direction Lin Yi left and asked," Old Hu, will Old Lin be alright?"”
Old Hu smiled bitterly and said," I don't know. This is the first time I've seen something like this.”
Fatty took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said," We can't care so much anymore. Just wait for three minutes. Once three minutes is up, if Elder Lin still hasn't come out, we'll rush in!”
"Deal!"
……
After Lin Yi approached the withered old locust tree, he seemed to have activated the array formation. The Yin aura of thousands of ghosts instantly rushed over, sweeping up waves of cold wind.
The cold wind was like a knife or a sword. It was bone-chilling. Ordinary people would probably be seriously ill once they came into contact with it.
Even though Lin Yi had the seventh-tier Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, he still felt a trace of coldness.
"Myriad Qi is the root. Cultivate hundreds of millions of calamities to prove my divine power. The Dao reigned supreme within and outside the Three Realms. My body has a golden light that covers my body."
As he chanted the incantation in his heart, dark golden light covered his entire body from the inside out.
The only cold feeling that the array formation had caused him instantly disappeared.
He slowly approached the withered ancient locust tree. The men squatting under the ancient locust tree looked at Lin Yi, who was emitting golden light, with fear and excitement. It was as if they had seen a god who had come to save them from their difficulties.
At the same time, they all subconsciously made way for Lin Yi.
Soon, he arrived at the withered ancient locust tree.
Right at this moment, something unexpected happened.
