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.
" Master Hao, are we going in?!"
Hu Bayi looked at Xi Hao hesitantly, unable to make up his mind.
It was hard to imagine what terrifying things could be in such a strange forest!
"Enter!"
Xi Hao took a deep breath and made his decision without hesitation.
One was for the three missing girls and three lives!
Secondly, he wanted to see what kind of place this was!
"Good!"
Hu Bayi 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.
The moment Ci Hao released the rope, the hound flew out like an arrow, heading to the place where the spirits gathered.
Then, the three of them quickly followed the hound. Not long after, the three of them saw the three missing girls under a big pine tree.
When Xi Hao and the other two approached, they saw that the three girls were all foaming at the mouth, lying unconscious under the pine tree.
Xi Hao checked their breathing and said,
"It's fine. His breathing is stable. He's not poisoned.”
"It's good that you're fine."
Hu Bayi also relaxed.
Just as he was about to pick up the three girls and bring them back, he heard Fatty Wang's deep voice shout,
"Master Hao, Old Hu, look, come and see!!!!!”
It was unknown what Fatty saw, but his voice changed!
When Xi Hao and Hu Bayi heard this, they immediately put down the two girls and looked over.
It was a withered old locust tree. Xi Hao even saw that towering resentment.
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! This was the spirit that Xi Hao felt.
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 Wang thought about it, the stranger it became, and the more he shuddered.
What was even stranger was that no matter where these men came from, they could only see their backs and not their faces!
Xi Hao took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression," How are these people? They're all clearly ghosts!”
When Fatty Wang heard this, his hair stood on end. His body involuntarily shrank back and he said,
"Master Hao, don't talk nonsense!"
Xi Hao 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 withered locust tree, they would be nailed within a few miles of the dead locust tree and could not go anywhere.”
Hu Bayi glanced at Xi Hao and nodded." Master Hao is right. There is a similar record in the word 'suppress' in the other half of my book. However, as long as we wait for the weather to clear up, we'll uproot the locust tree and burn it.”
But Xi Hao shook his head and said," Old Hu, you're thinking too simply! Take a good look around."
Hu Bayi 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 massacred by the Japanese and nailed to death by a Yin Yang Master who was proficient in Yin Yang Arts. If the locust tree was forcibly uprooted, they would probably die an unnatural death.”
"The seven ancient locust trees form the Seven Star Soul Suppressing Formation. If the locust tree is forcibly uprooted, I'm afraid it will die an unnatural death.”
Xi Hao swept a glance 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 the f * ck should we do?"
Fatty Wang asked uneasily.
Hu Bayi was also at a loss, not knowing what to do.
"Moreover, ordinary people can't see ghosts. Today, the weather in Savage Valley is strange, so you 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 Wang 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.”
Hu Bayi took a deep breath and asked,"
"Master Hao, 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."
Xi Hao said as he walked towards the withered old locust tree.
When Xi Hao got close, a strong wind suddenly blew in the surroundings, and withered branches and leaves were blown all over the sky.
Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang watched as Xi Hao disappeared into the wind in the blink of an eye.
In front of them was a sandstorm, and their vision was completely blocked.
Fatty Wang looked worriedly in the direction where Xi Hao had left and asked,
"Old Hu, will Master Hao be alright?”
Hu Bayi smiled bitterly and said," I don't know. This is the first time I've seen something like this.”
Fatty Wang took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said," We don't care anymore. Just wait for three minutes. Once three minutes is up, if Master Hao still hasn't come out, we'll rush in!"”
"Deal!"
After Xi Hao approached the withered old locust tree, he seemed to have triggered the array. The Yin energy of thousands of ghosts instantly rushed towards him, stirring up gusts of cold wind. The cold wind was like a knife or a sword, bone-chilling.
Ordinary people would probably contract a serious illness upon contact.
Even Xi Hao felt a trace of coldness.
After activating the golden armor, 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 Xi Hao, who was emitting golden light, with fear and excitement, 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 Xi Hao.
Soon, he arrived at the withered ancient locust tree.
Right at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Xi Hao held the knife of the Marquis of Xinting in his hand.
" I also wish all of you a new year and a new atmosphere."
