Chapter 65: A Blessing in Misfortune
"Snapped!"
With a loud bang, a stone pillar on the stone platform shattered, and the debris flew all around. The halo around the stone platform accelerated and spun, driving the surrounding air and rolling up a gust of wind, which swirled around along with the halo.
"Snapped!"
There was another shattering explosion, and another stone pillar shattered. The other stone pillars trembled even more violently, and the entire stone platform also trembled violently, making the entire valley seem to be shaking, and it felt like an earthquake was about to happen.
“Boom!”
There was a rumble of thunder in the dark clouds in the sky.
“Pah pah pah…”
A series of explosions sounded from the stone platform, and the remaining stone pillars shattered in unison. The halo around the stone platform shrank inwards, and the strong wind also blew inwards.
"Back off, back off!"
The second brother shouted and took the lead in retreating. The others also reacted quickly and retreated one after another. When everyone retreated more than ten meters, the entire stone platform suddenly shook.
"boom!"
With a roar, the halo wrapped around the stone platform exploded in all directions, and a strong wind swept in. The entire stone platform instantly collapsed and exploded. The rubble flew everywhere. Several stones hit me, and I quickly rolled over and hid to the side. The stones hit the ground with a crashing sound, and directly smashed several holes in the ground.
I gasped. Damn, how fast and powerful must it be? If it hit me, it would probably make a hole in my body.
Second Senior Brother and his companions were relatively close to the stone platform, so it was impossible for them to completely avoid the broken stones. As they continued to retreat, they cast spells to resist the stones.
“Swish!”
Suddenly, there was a loud noise between heaven and earth, which seemed to come from the sky, but also seemed to come from under the earth. After this loud noise, the dark clouds in the sky stopped rolling, as if they were fixed in the sky, and the lightning and thunder in the sky also stopped.
The mist above the mountains stopped rolling, the wind in the valley stopped, and the flying rocks in the air all stopped floating in the air. The second brother and his dozen people opened their eyes wide, their faces full of shock, and all stood still.
All sounds disappeared, and there was deathly silence between heaven and earth.
I tried to turn my head as much as I could to see what was going on, but I could only move my eyes.
"call."
A slight sound came from the direction of the stone platform, and then a shadow flashed from the pile of rocks suspended in the air, and a woman in red appeared in front of me.
Xiaolan!
A tall figure, long hair, a red wedding dress, and a face as cold as ice.
The female ghost in red, Xiaolan!
Wasn't she in the coffin in the tomb in Dabie Mountain? How did she get here? Could the adult be her?
Oh, mother, this female ghost didn't mistake me for Zi Ning, did she? Please don't cause me any trouble!
The female ghost in red looked at me coldly. There seemed to be some confusion and doubt in her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.
Everything is frozen, this guy must be the one behind it. With such power, she is definitely not just a fourth-class ghost. I don't know what level is higher, but I am sure it is an extremely powerful existence. If she wants to do it now, I guess all of us will be finished and wiped out.
The red-clothed female ghost just stared at me for probably dozens of seconds. The confused look in her eyes did not dissipate, as if there was something she hadn't figured out.
She slowly turned around and glanced at Second Senior Brother and the others. Then her figure flashed and a red light passed over there. The space suddenly surged. More than a dozen people including Second Senior Brother flew off the ground, and like in slow motion in the video, they flipped in the air and fell out .
The next moment, the female ghost in red appeared at the original location of the stone platform, and then walked in the opposite direction of our side. The four female ghosts also appeared and followed closely behind. Soon, the five of them disappeared from my sight and disappeared into the mountains and forests in the distance.
"boom!"
There was a roar between heaven and earth, thunder roared in the sky, lightning flashed, and dark clouds rolled. The mist above the mountains surged and rolled. The debris in the air flew around and scattered. It was only then that the second brother and the others fell to the ground, and they rolled on the ground several times before they stopped.
My body was also shaken, and I finally regained my ability to move. I quickly stared at the rocks and dodged carefully. After a while, all the broken rocks fell to the ground, and I sat on the ground, gasping for breath. Only then did I have time to look at my second brother and the others.
More than a dozen people survived, but everyone was injured to some extent. Some of them seemed to be seriously injured, with pale faces and a lot of blood on their bodies. Second Brother climbed up from the pile of rocks, staggering a little. I quickly ran over to support him and asked, "Second Brother, how are you?"
He shook his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "I won't die."
The second brother looked in the direction where the female ghosts disappeared just now, and there seemed to be some lingering fear in his eyes. He must be thinking about the red-dressed female ghost just now, that girl was really too scary.
But it's strange that the female ghost only injured us and didn't kill us? If she wanted us to die, we wouldn't even be able to fight back.
The dark clouds in the sky dissipated, and the mist over the mountains also dissipated. The warm sunshine scattered down, very warm.
"Hey, everyone, come here quickly, there is a space below, and there are human life breath fluctuations in it!"
A guy over there suddenly shouted. He was standing where the stone platform was originally, pointing at the ground and shouting at us. Everyone's eyes lit up, and everyone walked over there. I also helped my second brother walk over there.
There was indeed a space underground where the stone platform was originally located, and it was quite large. Finally, we found hundreds of people underneath, including the missing villagers, construction team members, and soldiers sent by the government. Although no one died, they were all very weak, as if they had just suffered a serious illness.
"Those ghosts didn't kill them, but they trapped them under the seal and drained everyone's life force to break the seal."
Second Senior Brother said to me. Damn, that means if we were a few days late, or if the seal had not been broken, these hundreds of people would have died underground.
No matter what, the person was finally rescued. It's a blessing in disguise. Life is the most important thing.
Fortunately, there were soldiers here, and with their comfort, these people gradually calmed down.
After the ghost girls left, the mountains and the village returned to normal, and other people quickly came over, including Lu Xiaofeng. However, after counting the number of people, there were still several missing.
Being able to save so many people, it's worth sacrificing a few.
