Lu Li stood still and observed for a moment. He was sure that the body was not scratched by something. The body must have been scratched by itself. In the end … it was scared to death.
"What did he see?"
Lu Li checked with curiosity but found nothing. The cliffs on both sides were as smooth as a mirror. There was nothing special about them.
Lu Li could not afford to be careless. He walked forward slowly, using psychic power and his eyes to check the surroundings.
"Blood Fairy, if anything happens when we reach the body, take me back or move forward. Do not linger around there."
Lu Li stopped when he was about one hundred feet away from the body. He said something to Blood Fairy and then moved on.
Based on the previous two levels, Master of Ghost liked to use a combination of moves. There would be more than one type of attack in each level.
Up ahead, where the body was, the second type of attack was likely to come.
One hundred feet, one hundred feet, one hundred feet!
Lu Li's footsteps were getting slower and slower, almost stopping after every step.
He was in a highly concentrated state. He would be alerted to any unusual movements around him and react accordingly.
"Buzzing ~"
When Lu Li was close to the body, something happened.
The wall on the left suddenly lit up. Out of instinct, Lu Li took a look. The wall on the left glowed and there was a deep handprint.
Apart from the handprint, nothing else happened. The handprint was not dangerous. Instead, there was something strange about it. One look and Lu Li could not move his eyes away.
"In the handprint … there seems to be something strange about it."
Lu Li was intrigued. Out of instinct, he stayed in the handprint. Gradually, he became confused. Then, he closed his eyes and stood there.
The immortal's body stood there as well. Lu Li's situation put Blood Fairy in a difficult position. Lu Li did not seem to be in any danger, but he was standing still. Should she take Lu Li forward or backward?
"Ah …"
All of a sudden, Lu Li yelled in fear.
Without any hesitation, Blood Fairy grabbed Lu Li and stepped back. At the same time, she said to Lu Li, "Master, wake up. Wake up!"
Maybe it was because of Blood Fairy, Lu Li trembled. Then, the fear on his face faded away. He did not open his eyes. Instead, he kept his eyes closed and breathed heavily.
"Whoosh, whoosh ~"
After the time for one incense stick to burn, Lu Li opened his eyes slowly. There was still lingering fear in his eyes.
He finally understood why the corpse in front of him had scratched him to a pulp. He also understood what the Ghost King's combination punch was.
That palm print seemed to contain a very powerful Dao Rune, but that was actually an illusion. It was deliberately used to lure the intruder to see it.
As a matter of fact, the palm print contained a powerful soul attack. Just now, Lu Li felt hundreds of ferocious ghosts with ferocious faces were trying to grab at him, trying to drag his soul out of his mind.
Lu Li wouldn't be so alarmed if this was just an average formation of illusion.
Lu Li felt that the feeling just now was real. If the immortal's corpse had not brought him back, he felt that his soul would have been dragged out by the ghost.
"Fortunately, I told Blood Fairy just now."
Lu Li exclaimed to himself. He calmed down a bit. Now that he knew there was something wrong with the palm print, he should be fine as long as he didn't look at it.
"Go!"
Lu Li strode forward. The palm print glowed again when he came to the original spot, but Lu Li ignored it.
What happened next shocked him. He did not look. However, when he took a step forward, the scene in front of him changed again. From all sides, there were many ghosts …
"Blood Fairy, take me forward!"
As soon as the scene changed, Lu Li sent a message to Blood Fairy. The immortal's body grabbed Lu Li and rushed forward.
About 30 feet later, Lu Li noticed the scene had changed. He found himself in the valley again.
"Okay …"
Lu Li nodded and moved on with the immortal's body. It was fortunate that he had this puppet. If it were someone else, they would not be able to move at all once they were trapped in that illusion.
In the end, they would end up like that corpse, smashing their own bodies and destroying their souls.
Moving on, the Waves of Silence grew stronger. Lu Li did not feel any pressure. The dragon soul could stand it. The dragon soul could consume as much soul energy as it could absorb.
"Well … the dragon soul has consumed so much energy. Will it evolve?"
Lu Li was curious. He remembered that when he consumed Soul Crystals, a lot of energy would be absorbed by the dragon soul.
Also, the dragon soul would protect its master on many occasions.
In that case, was the dragon soul alive or something like the soul of an artifact?
Who could be sure that the dragon soul would not evolve when it had absorbed so much energy?
"Well?
Another corpse! "
After the time for one incense stick to burn, Lu Li found another corpse. This one was different from the previous one. He looked peaceful as if he had fallen asleep.
"You must pay attention to the path ahead, Blood Fairy. Once I stop moving, immediately lead her forward.
If I still do not wake up, come back at once. "
Lu Li said and moved forward slowly. He came to the side of the corpse. On the right side of the cliff, there was a shadow of a fist.
Lu Li used psychic power to check, only to find that the shadow was like a swirl, trying to suck his soul in …
"Whoosh ~"
The immortal's body reacted quickly. Seeing that Lu Li had stopped moving, the immortal's body carried Lu Li and rushed forward.
About 30 feet later, Lu Li felt the sucking force was gone. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, Blood Fairy. Well done!"
Lu Li could sense the strange Dao in the shadow of the fist as well. It seemed to contain the prototype of Fundamental Principle.
But Lu Li knew very well that it was not Fundamental Principle or Dao. It was … a trap, a trap that could destroy a person's soul.
"Let's go ~"
Now that he had seen through it, Lu Li had nothing to fear anymore. He moved on with the immortal's body. For Lu Li, he had almost passed this level.
With the help of the dragon soul and the immortal's body, this level was not a problem for him.
Along the way, they saw another three places with "Dao". The immortal's body took Lu Li through them in time.
Two hours later, Lu Li and the immortal's body finally made it out of the valley.
There was no mountain up ahead. Instead, it was a deep valley. Down below was boiling lava, with heatwaves, black smoke, and bubbles.
A chain as thick as a person's head stretched across the deep valley and penetrated the natural moat.
Lu Li looked into the abyss and then at the chain. Eventually, he fixed his eyes on the smoke and clouds in the sky.
This level seemed to be easy. All he had to do was dash across the chain and cross the deep valley. But somehow, Lu Li sensed danger, extreme danger.
The lava down below seemed to be regular lava. If it were the lava from the lower universe, Lu Li could soak in it for years and he would be fine.
