Chapter 85

He has never been one to easily accept his fate, knowing that the more critical the moment seems, the more calm he needs to be.

The ghost may indeed be terrifying, but it is not the first time he has encountered one. Recalling the several incidents he has experienced, which one did not involve a ghost? Yet, here he is, still alive and well.

After giving himself ample encouragement, Xia Tianqi had already focused all his attention. The world around him became much quieter at this moment.

Without slowing his pace, Xia Tianqi's pupils suddenly constricted as he noticed the space in front of him slightly distort, clearly a sign that a water barrier was about to emerge.

Seeing this, Xia Tianqi instantly reacted, his legs forcefully pushing off, and his body instinctively leaning to one side. In the next instant, the large water barrier emerged, grazing his arm.

"I dodged it!"

Despite the cut on his arm, Xia Tianqi felt no pain, instead, he was filled with the excitement of successfully dodging.

In that split second, he felt his speed was incredibly fast, and his body immediately responded to the fleeting thought in his mind. This is why he managed to avoid the water barrier.

Xia Tianqi did not know if it was his own potential or the effect of the previous enhancement, but in any case, the experience of dodging just now made him confident that he could dodge the water barrier in time.

The disgusting hair under his feet spread out again, and Xia Tianqi gritted his teeth and continued to run desperately through the ghost trap.

Perhaps his successful dodging earlier greatly angered the female ghost, so in the following period, the frequency of the water barriers emerging increased significantly.

Although Xia Tianqi managed to dodge each time, it was a perilous situation. Not only did he get injured, but his already limited stamina was severely depleted, and he even began to see stars.

Clearly, this was due to his continuous high concentration and excessive physical exertion.

"Almost there, just a little more... perseverance."

Xia Tianqi's vision had blurred into a gray-white line, his ears were buzzing non-stop, and he was on the verge of fainting.

At the same time, the space in front of him distorted again.

Through the previous dodges, Xia Tianqi had a clear understanding of the pattern of the water barrier's appearance. Each time it appeared, it caused a local distortion of space, accompanied by a damp, musty smell.

Xia Tianqi smelled the damp, musty smell and knew the water barrier was about to appear. However, given his current condition, it was difficult for him to react.

He gritted his teeth and, like a moth drawn to a flame, used all his remaining strength to jump to one side.

At the same moment, a damp, cold gust of wind accompanied the water barrier as it emerged.

"Ah—!"

In the next instant, Xia Tianqi let out a scream as he was violently thrown by the emerging water barrier, losing consciousness completely.

...

The reason the villagers called it the乱坟岗 (Graveyard of Abandoned Graves) is that most of the graves there are unnamed. According to some of the elders in Hu Lu Village, this area was an ancient military camp, and the graves in the Graveyard of Abandoned Graves are mostly those of soldiers who died of illness.

However, since the people of Hu Lu Village settled here, the Graveyard of Abandoned Graves has become their cemetery.

The Graveyard of Abandoned Graves is quite large, covering a vast area of the surrounding hills, where graves are scattered.

Leng Yue held his sword with only a hilt, a peachwood sword, and walked through the desolate hills with a blank expression. Occasionally, he would see a few isolated graves, but he would only glance at them and not stop.

Since it was a desolate hill, there were not many plants, so the cold wind howled like ghosts, continuously "wailing" and echoing.

If someone with a smaller胆量 (courage) were to come here, they would be scared half to death.

After walking for about 10 more minutes, Leng Yue suddenly stopped, then took out a stack of paper money from his backpack. After mumbling something, he raised his hand and scattered the paper money into the air.

The paper money fluttered in the air and was then scattered by the cold wind, and the sound of grinding teeth echoed continuously.

Hearing the grinding teeth from all directions, Leng Yue frowned and coldly said:

"Disperse!"

The grinding teeth that had been echoing continuously instantly disappeared.

Leng Yue then took out a silver talisman from his Bag of Holding, and with a single hand gesture, the silver talisman completely enveloped the peachwood sword, emitting a bright silver light.

After doing this, Leng Yue took another step and came to a nameless grave not far away.

"Are you going to let me drag you out, or will you come out on your own?"

Leng Yue said coldly to the nameless grave, then swung his sword at it.

At the same moment, a disheveled figure suddenly jumped out.

This figure was very blurry, without a clear body, giving the impression of a wandering soul.

But there was no doubt that this was the mastermind behind the incident.

"Why do you meddle in other people's affairs? This matter has nothing to do with you, and I never let it attack you. Why won't you let me go!"

"Demons must die!" Leng Yue said impatiently and was about to swing his sword at Xu Chong. Xu Chong clearly knew he had no chance of resistance against Leng Yue, so he only snarled:

"You people will not have a good end, especially you. Don't think I don't know what you are..."

"You don't need to know!"

Leng Yue's face turned cold, and with a single swing of his sword, Xu Chong was instantly cut in half and turned into a black mist, which was then scattered by the wind.

At the same time, the honor board suddenly rang, indicating that they had successfully resolved the incident.

Leng Yue glanced at the reminder on the honor board and then used its communication function to call Xia Tianqi a few times, but received no response.

Leng Yue's expression turned serious, and he quickly turned and ran in the direction of the ghost trap.

When he arrived at the location of the ghost trap, he found Xia Tianqi lying on the ground, his condition unknown. Inside the ghost trap, the ghost that Xiaoli had transformed into was struggling fiercely, causing the stones around it to vibrate.

There was no doubt that although Leng Yue had easily dealt with Xu Chong, he would not have been able to do so without Xia Tianqi's help.

Leng Yue went over and lifted Xia Tianqi up. Fortunately, Xia Tianqi was still breathing, just unconscious.

He felt a bit relieved and then mercilessly let go, dropping Xia Tianqi back into the mud pit.

Turning around, he looked at the ghost still roaring and struggling in the ghost trap. Leng Yue felt there was still something worth trying.
