Chapter 292 A Handful of Incense Ash
Only when you really enter the vast ghost tide can you understand how strong the overwhelming oppression is.
Ji Li has never experienced a ghost tide. He only experienced it once during the mission in Kyoto.
But the number of ghosts that time is far from comparable to this time.
When he really entered the center of the ghost tide, Ji Li realized that he had thought everything too simply.
Without the protection of sinful creatures, he could hardly see anything clearly, let alone hear the shouts of others.
Surrounding his body, there was all black panic and panic-stricken cries.
And those were all ghosts from all around. He was swept in the center, with only the fluorescent link leading to the Tenth Hall at hand.
This was also the only light here, representing the long road of hope.
If Ji Li was a little late, he would be scratched by some kind of bone claws like knives, which made his already overwhelmed body heavier and heavier.
The blood-red coffin had long been lost in the Judge's Hall, including the Abang Rakshasa chain, which meant that Ji Li was no different from an ordinary person.
The repeated attacks of those ownerless souls were like the sickle of the god of death to Ji Li, although they were all extremely low-level ghosts, and they would not die if they were caught once or twice.
But they could not withstand so many ghosts attacking Ji Li at the same time.
This led to Ji Li having difficulty making any achievements except relying on the shop assistants behind him.
Ji Li, who had always won by conspiracy and trickery, only realized his own weakness when facing the ghost tide.
Without the sin object, he was extremely weak.
Yu Guo on the other side also realized this. He was holding Du Xiyue's biggest trump card.
That was the crystal jade hanging around his neck. When the jade was touched by the supernatural power, it would automatically emit a faint light.
It was equivalent to an object that absorbed damage, and was a completely passive defense sin object.
Yu Guo took two steps at a time and stretched out his hand, grabbing Ji Li, who was originally in the front, by the shoulder, and hit him hard, and the two of them changed positions.
"Chang Nian! Ji Li can't die!"
Yu Guo came to the front of the team and was attacked by the ghost hand at the first time. The dark palm pressed on his face in an instant.
In the darkness, he couldn't tell which ghost hand grabbed him, but now there was no difference.
The jade on his chest suddenly shone, dispelling the darkness for a moment, and he saw the ghost tide in front of him that was still swarming forward like a tide.
The passive defense of the jade also helped him resist the fatal injury this time, allowing him to move forward two steps.
Ji Li in the back had messy hair and his breathing became less and less rhythmic. He lost the lightness of the blood-red coffin and was now carrying Shi Dalu's black coffin.
The weight almost made him unable to breathe, but after seeing Yu Guo push out two steps, Ji Li held his breath and kept up with the pace.
But during this gap, three other ghosts got into the seventh branch, seized Ji Li's way, and stretched out their ghost hands to him at the same time.
Ji Li was shocked and tried to dodge to the side, but his excessive loss of physical strength reduced his reaction speed again.
Such a low-level attack method actually gave him a sense of déjà vu that he could not dodge with his ability.
Two dry palms like branches pressed on his right shoulder almost at the same time, and then used their fingers as knives to pierce into Ji Li's flesh and blood, and tore it down violently.
Ji Li's right shoulder seemed to have been torn off a large piece of flesh and blood, and the severe pain suddenly hit him, causing his nerves to ache and his mind to become focused.
At the same time, he dispelled his original fatigue and rushed forward.
All this was said very slowly, but it actually happened in just a moment, so that Yu Guo's warning was heard by Chang Nian.
In the increasingly chaotic situation, the formation must not be chaotic, otherwise it will inevitably be dispersed by the ghost tide, and everyone will lose contact until they die.
Chang Nian was holding Du Xiyue's fluorescent shield crime object in her hand. This crime object was quite unique.
It could completely isolate the attacks of ghosts and ensure the safety of an area. Before this, Du Xiyue had used it to stop a small-scale ghost tide in the Wild Ghost Village.
However, this crime object could only be effective for ten minutes, and this effect would be greatly reduced in such a large number of ghost tides.
So when she first entered the ghost tide, she didn't dare to use it at all, and just wanted to keep it at the critical moment.
But at the moment, Chang Nian also underestimated the horror and destructive power of the ghost tide.
She was in the middle of the team, and was resisting with her own reaction and physique, but she saw that the road ahead was becoming more and more difficult, and the team was actually falling apart, so she couldn't help but be shocked.
Because Ji Li was blocked by several ghosts, Yu Guo, who was at the front, had already been separated from the team.
Chang Nian knew that if she didn't use the fluorescent shield crime object again, she was afraid that their seventh branch would fall in the first round of ghost tide.
So she took out a crystal ball that she had prepared long ago from her arms and pressed her finger on the switch.
Snowflakes fell from the sky, just like the snow scene in a crystal ball. Chang Nian was in the center of the crime and could not recognize it.
But over at the fifth branch, they could see the dark place on their right. Suddenly, white snowflakes appeared in the sky, covering the darkness there.
This purity that shouldn't have appeared here is not for purification, but for collusion.
Li Guanqi has used up three of the four black chess pieces in his right hand, leaving only the last one, which he handed to Lang Qing.
At this moment, he put his hands together, with the index and middle fingers of both hands pressed together, and the fragrance between the fingers.
It seems to be a seal gesture from Taoism, but everyone knows that this power actually comes from the spirit.
The incense stick was never lit, and it was only lit when the snowflakes of the seventh branch fell.
At the same time, when the fragrance was lingering, the ghosts around the fifth branch became restless in large numbers, and even the ghost tide surrounding the seventh branch showed a sign of moving towards them.
Li Guanqi put his hands together, seemingly calm, but actually trembling.
Seeing that the ghost tide had moved because of the incense stick, he quickly pinched the incense head with two fingers, and used his other hand to knock off a large piece of incense ash with his fingernails.
A large amount of incense ash fell into his palm. Li Guanqi aimed at a ghost that was coming towards him and threw the large amount of incense ash on it.
Then Li Guanqi pushed Lang Qing and ran forward quickly.
The ghost tide that had attacked them fiercely before began to pounce on the ghost that was sprinkled with incense ash.
