Chapter 852: Bewitching the Mind
Chapter 852: Bewitching the Mind
"Boss, please don't kill us. We have already led the way for you. You can't just abandon us after we've done our job, right?"
Chen Yile snorted coldly, "You still know how to kill the donkey after it has done its work. You brought us here but didn't explain the actual situation here. Why didn't you tell me before that there are countless ghosts here?"
"What, there are countless ghosts here?"
When the monsters heard Chen Yile's words, they looked surprised.
The next second, they looked at each other.
One of the snake-like monsters raised its head in confusion and continued to look at the water.
While checking, the monster muttered to itself, "Could the previous rumors be true?"
Chen Yile snorted coldly, "Just now I said you didn't tell the truth, and you still didn't admit it. Now you've said it yourself, hurry up and tell me, what rumors were there before?"
Chen Yile spoke in a stern tone.
"Oh, there is indeed something else going on here, but we only heard about it."
"Actually, even now, we can't see the souls underwater, but we have heard rumors about it..."
Yan Zhen, who was standing by, looked excited: "Then hurry up and tell us, what are the rumors here?"
Hearing Yan Zhen's urging, the snake-like monster finally started talking.
"We used to be the Demon Lord's subordinates. He asked us to go to the mortal world every day and rob living people for him to enjoy."
"But after these living people we brought here were killed by our Demon Lord, many of their souls mysteriously disappeared."
"After investigation, I found that these souls all fled to this place..."
When the three people heard the snake-like monster say this, they were shocked. At this moment, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Li Xixi looked at the monster with a puzzled expression, "Are you saying that someone actually snatched food from the tiger's mouth and snatched the soul that your Demon Lord had already obtained?"
The monsters nodded eagerly: "Yes, there were rumors like this before, but we didn't believe it at all."
"After all, who would be so bold as to rob our Demon Lord? But we have indeed heard these rumors..."
After hearing the explanation from the monster leading the way, Chen Yile looked down again and confirmed that there was indeed a strong yin energy on the water surface, and that the area below was indeed filled with ghosts.
So he expressed his guess.
"Since there are beings fighting against the monsters in this place, maybe they are the mysterious force we are looking for."
Yan Zhen understood what Chen Yile meant, but expressed a different opinion.
"No way! If they're so powerful and have this ability, why don't they just kill the monster directly, but instead use our strength? Could it be that they're simply trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"
"After all, we've already seen that it's easy for them to take our weapons."
Li Xixi also expressed her incomprehension.
This made Chen Yile confused. He also felt that his two partners had reason to be suspicious.
But in the current situation, this place where yin and yang meet, not only has mysterious powers, but it can also rob the Demon Lord and his men. Could there be something else that even these monsters don't know about?
After a moment of deep thought, Chen Yile grinned helplessly.
"Anyway, this is the only possibility I can think of. Since you disagree, let's continue to check this place and see if we can find any relevant evidence."
Li Xixi stared at the water surface in front of her, which was filled with gloomy energy, with a frown on her face.
"I've discovered that these ghosts are filled with immense resentment. Now, with so many of them covering the entire surface of the water, we should understand their purpose. Are they collectively resisting the Demon Lord, or do they have other motives?"
After saying this, Li Xixi used the soul-controlling technique to try to get a soul to come up and ask what happened.
But after casting the spell, she couldn't help but be shocked.
"Why is the resentment of these ghosts in this underground river area so strong..."
Chen Yile, who was standing by, also noticed something at this moment.
Just now, after Li Xixi cast the spell, although Li Xixi only wanted to catch a ghost and ask about the relevant situation.
But after she did this, it seemed that all the ghosts in the entire dark river area had become aware and started to move.
And now they are completely enraged.
The entire underground river area was suddenly filled with resentment, the wind was howling, and even mournful cries could be heard in the air.
Even Chen Yile felt extremely sad after hearing this crying.
This made him think of his experience of going all the way to the underworld in order to resurrect his girlfriend.
Considering that the life of an ordinary person is only a mere hundred years, and the prosperity will fade away in the blink of an eye, why am I doing this?
Thinking of this in his heart, Chen Yile even closed his eyes in pain.
But the next second, the palm of his hand became extremely hot, and the feeling was as if he was suddenly scalded by boiling water.
Stimulated by the energy in his palm, Chen Yile suddenly opened his eyes.
After hearing the crying just now, he actually felt a sense of despair rising from the bottom of his heart.
This feeling of despair seemed to come over him out of nowhere, causing him to have serious doubts about his current actions.
Chen Yile opened his eyes, feeling nervous but his mind felt much clearer.
Chen Yile immediately understood. Needless to say, it was the ghosts below who were causing trouble.
These ghosts did not die under normal circumstances.
From what the monster said just now, they have learned that these people are living people robbed by the monsters from the human world, and brought to this area where yin and yang meet, for the enjoyment of the Demon Lord.
Since these ghosts did not die in a normal state, they are filled with resentment.
However, just one or two wronged souls like this were not enough to bewitch him.
But when so many ghosts joined together, this situation occurred, and even his mind was greatly bewitched.
Just as I thought of this, I heard a strange noise coming from beside me.
Someone seemed to be snoring softly.
When I turned my head, I saw Li Xixi and Yan Zhen, both with their eyes closed, standing there stupidly, seemingly having fallen asleep.
It seems that both of them have been bewitched by this.
After realizing this, Chen Yile quickly took out the Soul-Fixing Talisman and slapped it directly on the top of their heads.
Chen Yile believed that with their level of cultivation, they would not be able to have their souls taken away by these resentful spirits.
However, with so many wronged souls gathered together, even Li Xixi and Yan Zhen, who were staff members of the underworld, would be seriously disturbed.
Sure enough, not long after, Li Xixi opened her eyes first.
Seeing Chen Yile staring at her, Li Xixi's pretty face turned red and her tone was blaming.
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
