Chapter 199 - Netherworld Ghost Realm (2/2)
Wei Huo stopped talking. That was the mentality of many people who watched horror movies. They might be afraid, but the more afraid they were, the more they wanted to watch it.
Before long, Chen Xuanyue exclaimed, “Look! There’s something on the road! It’s staring at me!”
Wei Huo did not feel any spiritual waves. Ghosts were a kind of spiritual bodies. They would emit spiritual waves if they passed by.
Wei Huo walked toward the place Chen Xuanyue was pointing at. Chen Xuanyue kept shouting, “Don’t go over there! There are filthy things there!”
Chen Xuanyue was very nervous. She grabbed the edge of his pocket tightly and extended half her head. Her eyes were filled with anxiety.
Wei Huo was speechless. How could a spirit body of the Legendary level be afraid of ghosts?
Wei Huo walked over and saw a doll lying in a haystack by the road. The doll had a pair of wide eyes and a missing leg. Its hair was scarce, and its face was pale. It was smiling strangely.
“It’s just a toy.”
Chen Xuanyue was only looking at a toy. It was not something dirty. Although it was weird for a toy doll to appear in such a place, there were three Legendary creatures and an Epic-ranked creature in this team. What was there to be afraid of?
Wei Huo continued moving forward. Chen Xuanyue begged him. “Let’s make a detour. This city must be a ghost city. It’s so dark inside!”
The sky gradually darkened. On top of that, it was a cloudy day. The atmosphere gradually became weird.
Wei Huo spat out a mouthful of dragon flames. The dragon flames turned into four pairs of fire birds that surrounded the team. The high temperature expelled the moisture and the cold, and the flames chased away the darkness. Only then did Chen Xuanyue relax a little. She flew out of Wei Huo’s pocket and lay on his shoulder, focusing on her surroundings.
Wei Huo walked down the road and entered the city. The sky was dark, and there was no light or sound in the city. It was a real ghost city. There was no one inside.
However, the streets of the city were well-preserved. Although the buildings were a little old, it felt like only 50 to 60 years had passed, not 500 years. It seemed like a special force was protecting the city.
However, probably because this city was not a safe zone, all the residents had left.
At that moment, a cold wind howled from the northwest. The cold wind howled as if someone was screaming. Chen Xuanyue was so terrified that she hid in Wei Huo’s pocket.
Soon, a wolf’s howl could be heard from a distance. Carried by the sinister sound of the wind, it sounded like dreary cries and screams.
That was not the most terrifying part. The most terrifying part was the sound of drums and gongs coming from an area in front of Wei Huo’s team. The sound of gongs and drums was very deep, making the atmosphere even weirder. The gongs and drums were also accompanied by sounds of crying.
If a group of ordinary people passed by this place, they would probably feel a chill run down their spines. However, Wei Huo and the others were passing by.
Wei Huo did not feel anything. The two rocs were even more confused. The little roc even said, “Is this human music? I have to say that it feels quite good.”
The two of them were not humans. Such a scene could not scare them, just like one could not scare their own dog when watching a horror movie. It was obviously a terrifying moment, but the dog would run around happily in the living room, either wagging its tail to interact with its owner or lying on its owner’s thighs and panting. There was no horrifying atmosphere at all.
Chen Xuanyue was the most afraid in the team. She was a spirit, yet she was terrified.
Soon, a few faint shadows appeared in front of Wei Huo. They were approaching Wei Huo’s team. The shadows did not move their bodies or their shoulders. It was as if they were floating over. Behind them seemed to be a coffin.
