Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 149 Ruins
Lin Ye and Zhao Tong stood still. Until now, they were still not sure whether the footsteps were from people or ghosts. In addition, the mud was constantly surging in front of them, so they chose to think before they act.

"Wait, do you smell blood?"

Zhao Tong suddenly said.

The two looked down and found that strange blood was oozing out from under their feet. No, it was not blood. This liquid was not as thick as blood, but more like diluted blood water.

"It's the captain!"

The next moment, the blood gushed out and Cao Yang's figure emerged from it.

"Finally found you."

The blood only barely covered the area where the three people were, but it was deep enough to submerge their calves.

"team leader!"

The two were surprised and happy. Without Cao Yang as their backbone, they really didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of provoking some ghosts that they couldn't deal with.

"Why did you come underground? I didn't know there was an underground space in this ancient house."

Cao Yang's words stunned both of them.

"underground?"

It turned out that the stone door of the ancient house was like a portal. Once you stepped into the door, you would be sent to different locations in the ancient house. Coupled with the original darkness, once you were separated, it would be difficult to get back together. Lin Ye and Zhao Tong could only be considered lucky as they were not far apart.

"I see. But now is not the time to delve into this. Have you found anything?"

"This smelly mud is forming a road. From my personal point of view, I think this road looks like the corridor of a large tomb."

Lin Ye seemed to have determined that the haunted house was a large tomb and always associated it with that aspect.

This muddy road opened by the grave soil slopes downward, and there is no end in sight at a glance, extending all the way to the dark depths underground. Although it is unknown how long it is, it is certain that this is definitely not any place in reality.

"Captain, do you want to take this road? This road looks much more dangerous than the way back."

Cao Yang didn't say anything, just nodded heavily.

Zhao Tong understood instantly and opened his ghost cave directly. A dark path appeared out of thin air under the feet of the three people, and continued to connect to the grave dirt path. Not far behind them, a swamp-like muddy road seemed out of place with the return road.

Due to the natural suppression of ghosts by the ancient house, the return road only extended about three meters before reaching its limit. However, this was enough as it had successfully connected to the smelly grave dirt road.

"Something's wrong, Captain, this mud seems to have suppressive power!"

Suddenly, Zhao Tong's face changed. His plan was frustrated again, which hit him hard.

"It looks like it's indeed grave soil. Cover yourself with ghostly dirt and try to avoid leaving footprints. I don't know if it will work, but it's better than doing nothing."

After he finished speaking, a pool of blood appeared under Cao Yang's feet. It seemed as if the blood had grown on his feet and would always be there under his feet no matter where he went.

Then, Zhao Tong followed suit, his feet completely submerged in a pool of yellow mud. In comparison, Lin Ye looked much simpler and plainer, with a white mourning cloth under his feet, following behind the two men.

The grave dirt road was very long. The three of them walked for about fifteen minutes but still hadn't reached the end. Instead, the ghost caves under Lin Ye and Zhao Tong's feet were eroded by the smelly grave dirt. "Walk for another ten minutes. If you still don't find anything, find a way to leave here."

Cao Yang paused and said with a serious expression.

So the three of them continued walking along this dirt road that seemed to lead to hell.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and just when Cao Yang was about to give up, he found that the whole road seemed to be moving, with such a huge noise that even the three people walking on the road were shaky and unable to stand steadily.

This change did not last long, and soon, a large underground ancient city appeared in front of the three people. It was called an ancient city, but in fact it was just a ruin, but from the perspective of its scope, it could barely be called grand.

"What does an underground ruin represent?"

Cao Yang didn't know how to describe it. Ever since entering the ancient house, strange things had happened one after another, and now he couldn't even associate them.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A huge noise came from the ruins, which sounded like thousands of troops marching. It was a huge noise, but for the three people at the moment, it was not good news.

Soon, countless strange corpses emerged, no, crawled out from the ruins. Some of them were missing limbs, some had hideous expressions, and some had peaceful expressions. Death seemed to be a relief.

More and more corpses appeared, gathered together strangely, with dull expressions and lifeless eyes, as if they appeared due to some kind of summons, but the "person" who summoned them could not be identified.

"It's unbelievable, just like the ghost soldiers passing through. But these are not necessarily simple corpses. The real ghosts may be hiding among the corpses."

Lin Ye's expression became somewhat panic-stricken. The increasingly dull and depressing footsteps seemed to step on his heart with every step, making him feel a pressure from death.

In the lost ruins, more and more corpses gathered in one place. The expressions on their faces were exactly the same, and every step they took was equally mechanical and stiff.

"Captain, what should we do?"

Although terrified, Zhao Tong had not lost his mind.

"Wait and see. If we haven't been attacked, it means we haven't triggered the rule. We should be relatively safe."

Cao Yang's eyes were always on the group of corpses. The real ghost must be hiding among those corpses.

The dense tide of zombies filled an area in an uneven manner. Although the whole team looked lifeless, it was somewhat impressive.

Then, from somewhere came a burst of suona sound that struck the soul. The sound was hoarse and explosive, as if there was a person who didn't want to die and wanted to blow out his last breath.

Lin Ye and Zhao Tong's faces changed, and they instantly covered their entire bodies with the ghost den, but the sound of the suona seemed to really hit their souls, and even the ghost den could not block it. The sharp and piercing sound almost instantly invaded the ghost den.

Cao Yang was not spared either, but his condition was much better, he just held his forehead with one hand and barely maintained his balance. Lin Ye and Zhao Tong were bleeding from all seven orifices, their bloody faces and extremely painful expressions made them look like real evil spirits.

"It's fucking terrible."

Cao Yang roared in a deep voice and directly used the ability of the memory ghost to temporarily pull the two teammates into the memory world, where they could avoid some attacks from reality. At least as long as they didn't act recklessly, they would have no problem saving their lives.
