Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 157 Artificial Balance

The Red and White Evils have now formed a strange balance. Cao Yang signals Zhao Tong and Lin Ye not to use supernatural powers rashly. Any tiny action may break this balance. The ghosts have not attacked anyone yet, so they can enjoy the temporary peace in fear.

"Now we are basically certain that we are standing on the fierce ghost road. The first fork led to the ghost stage, the red evil spirit and the three ghost coffins."

"After the Red and White Evils merged, this road connected to a strange wall. Not only that, before I walked on the Red Evil Road, I clearly saw that there were more forks after the fork in the road, endlessly."

"If I'm not mistaken, each fork in the road is connected to a ghost, a group of ghosts, a supernatural phenomenon, or even a supernatural place."

Cao Yang's thoughts would always be interrupted by all kinds of strange things. Suddenly, a long cry was heard in the red and white team. The sound was extremely shrill, like a real ghost howling, with some kind of tune and melody hidden in it. It sounded like a weird combination of a wedding march and funeral music.

The clearly divided red and white teams stopped circling around and were divided into two groups in an orderly manner. However, several ghosts in the wedding procession were sunk into the abyss of blood and water by Cao Yang, so their number was less than that of the funeral procession.

This noise lasted for about a minute. On the left side of the three people stood the original group of funeral ghosts, and on the right side stood the remaining group of wedding ghosts. However, the difference in numbers seemed unable to sustain the progress of the entire team. Horrifying noises came from the sedan chair and the coffin, and the noise was getting louder and louder, and it seemed that the two ghosts could break free from their cages at any time.

The strange and shrill sound continued, making the three people feel extremely irritated and uneasy, as if this tune, which could barely be called a melody, could evoke the deepest fear in people's hearts.

"Captain, we have to do something."

Zhao Tong has come to his senses. Before he followed Cao Yang, he was a rookie who had only experienced C-level events. But after he followed Cao Yang, the ghosts he encountered were more ferocious than the last, and he has grown a lot now.

"I can see that I have sunk several ghosts in the wedding procession to the bottom of the river. This seems to have caused the red and white ghosts to be out of balance. The white ghost's coffin is about to push the wedding sedan chair away."

While speaking, Cao Yang already had a guess in his mind, but whether it would work or not still required practice.

"There's no time, Captain."

Zhao Tong's expression was very solemn. Although they did not move with the group of ghosts, the three forks in the road were getting closer and closer. The ghost stage, the ghost wall and the three coffins of Fu Lu Shou were all approaching the three people.

On the left, the humming opera sounded like a magic sound with strong penetrating power, making people feel hazy and headache. The wall in the middle became taller and taller as we got closer, as if it was blocking out the sky and the sun, and the surrounding environment was getting darker; the coffins on the right were vibrating frequently, and the dull and suppressed clapping sound made people feel creepy.

"Zhao Tonglinye, escort the ghosts. Since there are no ghosts, we will take over. If we can restore the balance between the red and white evil spirits, we still have a chance of survival. If the three kinds of spirits on the opposite side invade us, then the three of us, weighing more than 300 pounds, will all be killed today."

Cao Yang let out a low growl, and while speaking he was so bold as to roughly tear off the blood-red robe of one of the people in the wedding procession, and then put it on himself. Strangely, the ghost did not react at all, even though Cao Yang's behavior revealed its originally skinny and shriveled ugly face.

Seeing this, Lin Ye and Zhao Tong followed suit. The three of them casually put on a layer of red robes. The moment the red robes touched their bodies, they quickly wrapped around them like a python. The cold air was quickly invading their bodies. They clearly felt that their bodies were losing control little by little.

"You should be able to withstand this kind of attack. If you can't, just use the scapegoat or the ghost candle. As long as you can buy one second, I am sure I can save you."

Cao Yang walked in the front, his ghost flesh body could fully withstand this weak erosion. He violently tore the red robe, and then imitated the ghost to throw scarlet debris into the air, trying to lead the team back to the original track. There is still a way out in despair. Cao Yang's actions seemed to have played a role. The blood-red wedding sedan on the black coffin became more stable at this moment, but it was still not enough to balance the thing in the coffin.

"Lin Ye, come with me to scatter the wedding money. Zhao Tong, follow behind us and don't rashly do anything out of line."

Hearing this, Lin Ye also stepped forward and tore the red robe into pieces with Cao Yang, then threw the scraps of cloth into the air as wedding money.

"it works!"

On the left side, the two people at the front of the funeral procession also began to throw yellow paper. The original balance between the red and white evil spirits was actually restored. The movement of the sedan chair and the coffin was weakening, and the tenuous balance was being restored.

Cao Yang was not happy at all. The female corpse in the sedan was his target. His original plan was to transfer it to the coffin, but he did not expect things to turn out like this.

“It’s all beyond our control.”

There is no other way. If you are not strong enough, you can only choose to submit, unless you can grow to be like Yang Jian who controls the ghost bus. When dealing with ghosts, you just need to push them lightly three meters away or kick them to death.

Although the red and white evil spirits barely maintained a balance, the real dominant ones were still the white evil spirits that were escorting the funeral. The ghosts did not seem to be prepared to confront the danger on the fork in the road head-on, but chose to turn around. Cao Yang and Zhao Tong led the wedding procession and followed them, but the three supernatural phenomena behind them kept chasing them relentlessly, and a strange relative distance was always maintained between the two.

“Tap tap, tap tap!”

As the team walked further and further away, Zhao Tong felt that his body had become very cold, almost indistinguishable from a real corpse. If it were not for the yellow mud ghost that could provide some resistance, he would have been corroded and turned into a member of the wedding procession.

The fabric of the red robe was getting less and less, and after ten minutes it was completely unable to cover the two people's figures. Zhao Tong had no choice but to grit his teeth and tear off two more red robes from the ghost carrying the coffin and hand them to Cao Yang and Lin Ye.

I don't know how long I walked, but Zhao Tong felt his whole body was numb. If he continued walking, he would definitely not be able to hold on, and he would really be assimilated into a ghost. Lin Ye had a supernatural item on him to help him resist, and he could only rely on his own supernatural power to resist.

"Zhao Tong, if you can't hold on, try to use the power of blood. I have implanted about 10% of blood in your body. Theoretically, you can also be considered a controller."

Cao Yang's voice sounded at the right time, and Zhao Tong finally reacted, and then tried to stimulate the blood in his body. The blood began to flow in his body, just like real blood, and the erosion of the cold was dispelled. Zhao Tong felt refreshed. Although the blood was not much, it could help him suppress the ghost in his body. However, the disadvantage was that he had to bear the revival of this part of the blood.

"Buzz~!"

With a muffled sound, the mournful melody that had been lingering in the entire team suddenly stopped. It seemed that something was about to happen...
