Chapter 438 White Shadow in the Forest
The three of them chased the figure of the woman in white and ran quickly through the bamboo forest.
The fog in the bamboo forest grew thicker, the originally clear road became blurred, and every step seemed to step into an unknown abyss.
The surrounding bamboos were like eerie barriers, trapping them in this terrifying atmosphere.
Chen Yile felt uneasy. He could feel the air around him getting colder and colder, a chill that seemed to penetrate his bones.
Lin Qingyao and Lin Feihong followed closely behind him, their eyes full of vigilance, but also unable to hide their fear.
Suddenly, a baby's cry came from the front. The cry seemed particularly abrupt and shrill in the silent bamboo forest, as if it was a call from hell.
Chen Yile and the others slowed down their pace unconsciously. They looked at each other and saw deep fear in each other's eyes.
"What...what is this sound?" Lin Qingyao asked tremblingly. Her voice was shaking and her hands unconsciously tightened around the Qingfu Sword.
"I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing." Chen Yile answered in a low voice, his heartbeat accelerating rapidly, and his hand holding the Tianshi Sword was covered in sweat.
As they continued to go deeper into the bamboo forest, the baby's crying became louder and louder, as if it was right next to them.
Some vague figures appeared faintly in the surrounding fog, like small human figures, looming in the fog.
"Look!" Lin Feihong pointed ahead, his voice a little hoarse.
In the fog, a pale baby was sitting on the ground crying.
His body was swollen, as if it had been soaked in water for a long time. His skin was an abnormal white color and covered with black blood vessels, as if a terrifying spider web covered his body.
The baby's eyes were unusually large, with no eyeballs, only two deep black holes. Black liquid flowed out of them, dripping onto the ground with a "sizzling" sound, as if the liquid was highly corrosive.
Chen Yile and others were stunned by the horrifying scene. They had never seen such a strange and evil creature.
The baby seemed to be aware of their presence and suddenly stopped crying. It raised its head and stared at them with its black hole-like eyes.
A chill rushed from the soles of Chen Yile's feet to his forehead. He felt as if his body was frozen and unable to move.
The same was true for Lin Qingyao and Lin Feihong, fear spread in their hearts.
"What the hell is this?" Lin Feihong squeezed out a sentence with difficulty.
"No matter what it is, we have to be careful." Chen Yile tried to calm himself down. He tried to circulate the spiritual power in his body, but found that the spiritual power was a little sluggish under the suppression of this fear.
At this moment, the baby suddenly opened his mouth, revealing a row of sharp black teeth, and let out a shrill laugh.
The laughter was like sharp nails scratching across glass, making people's hearts tingle.
Then, the baby's body began to swell, as if an invisible force was filling it.
The blurry little figures in the surrounding fog also began to approach them, and each figure exuded a strong sense of malice.
Chen Yile knew that he could no longer remain passive like this. He gritted his teeth, forced away the fear in his heart, and rushed towards the baby waving the Tianshi Sword.
The Tianshi Sword, shining with spiritual power, slashed towards the baby.
But the baby was extremely fast. It dodged Chen Yile's attack and then pounced towards Lin Qingyao.
Lin Qingyao screamed in horror and raised the Qingfu Sword to resist in panic.
The baby stretched out its sharp claws and collided with the Qingfu Sword, making a sound of metal collision.
Lin Qingyao only felt a huge force coming from the sword, her arm went numb and she almost couldn't hold the sword.
Seeing this, Lin Feihong hurriedly swung his free stick towards the baby.
The baby remained calm, its swollen body nimbly dodging the attack before letting out another shrill laugh.
The laughter echoed in the bamboo forest, as if countless babies were screaming at the same time, making people feel very confused.
Chen Yile took the opportunity to attack again. He used a special sword move. The spiritual power on the Tianshi Sword turned into sword energy and enveloped the baby.
The baby seemed to sense danger, and a trace of panic flashed in its black hole-like eyes.
It turned suddenly and spewed out a puff of black smoke.
The smoke had a pungent and foul smell and quickly spread towards the three people.
Chen Yile and others hurriedly held their breath and retreated.
But the smoke seemed to have life and kept following them.
In the smoke, they vaguely saw some horrific images, the painful expressions of the villagers, and bloody scenes, as if they were a replay of the sins caused by this evil creature.
"We can't be trapped by this smoke!" Chen Yile shouted.
He took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms, muttered something, and then threw the talisman paper towards the smoke.
The moment the talisman paper touched the smoke, it emitted a dazzling light.
Wherever the light went, the smoke dissipated.
Taking advantage of the moment when the smoke dissipated, they attacked the baby again.
This time, the three of them worked together, Chen Yile attacked from the front, and Lin Qingyao and Lin Feihong flanked from both sides.
The baby was trapped by their attacks and could not dodge.
Chen Yile seized the opportunity and stabbed the Tianshi Sword into the baby's body.
The Tianshi Sword pierced into the baby's body, making a creepy "puff" sound.
Black blood gushed out of the baby's body, splashing all over Chen Yile.
The blood was extremely corrosive, and Chen Yile felt as if his skin was burned by fire.
The baby let out a shrill scream, its body began to tremble violently, and then gradually dissipated, turning into a puff of black smoke and disappearing into the air.
The blurry little figures in the surrounding fog also disappeared, and the bamboo forest returned to some silence.
The three men were breathing heavily, their faces covered in sweat and fear.
This battle consumed a lot of their physical and spiritual strength, but they knew that the danger was far from over.
They continued to move forward in the bamboo forest, looking for the trace of the woman in white.
The bamboo forest was filled with the smell of death, and I could feel the oppressive atmosphere with every step I took.
Suddenly, an open space appeared in front of them, with a huge pool of blood in it.
The blood in the blood pool was dark red and emitted a pungent fishy smell.
The blood surged in the pool as if it had life.
The blood pool was surrounded by white bones, both human and animal. Those bones looked particularly eerie under the reflection of the blood.
In the center of the blood pool, there is a stone platform with an ancient coffin placed on it.
The coffin was engraved with strange patterns, which looked like distorted human faces, as if telling of endless pain.
