Zhuo Yifan took a closer look, and sure enough, there were some stone statues looking down at the corner.
These stone statues are even weirder, even holding swords and other weapons.
The expressions on their faces were also very vivid and full of fear.
Zhuo Yifan's heart moved and he approached the stone statue carefully to observe it.
"Sir, these stone statues are entirely made of stone, there can't be anything abnormal." A Mahayana master said.
Zhuo Yifan's spiritual power probed for a while, but he laughed at himself, maybe he was too sensitive.
He always felt that the stone statue had a sense of sight as a real person.
If the power of his mind hadn't detected that this was really just a stone statue, he would have almost thought it was a monk in disguise.
Anyway, Zhuo Yifan didn't have a good impression of An Chen and others, so he would delay as much time as possible, so everyone's progress was very slow along the way.
The further down you go, the more stone statues there are, and eventually even the middle of the passage is filled with stone statues.
Even a fool would know that this kind of anomaly is unusual.
Zhuo Yifan frowned.
"What does it mean when these stone statues appear in the underground passage?" Ouyang Qingzhi looked solemn.
"I think Mr. Anchen should be able to give us the answer." Zhuo Yifan smiled and took out the magic talisman: "Mr. Anchen, may I ask how the situation is now over there? We encountered some weird stone statues. Look.
Something seems wrong?"
"Don't get close to those stone statues." Although An Chen was angry, he still reminded: "These stone statues are weird. Once you get close, they will be marked."
"Marked? What do you mean? I touched the stone statue just now, is there no problem?" Zhuo Yifan said in surprise.
An Chen was silent for a moment, not sure if he was laughing or something else, but he must be very happy anyway.
"Congratulations to you, Elder Anyan. You have become the target of ghosts. I hope you can have a happy life in the next time." An Chen was obviously trying to suppress his smile.
Zhuo Yifan said in surprise: "Is there any necessary connection between this and the ghost attack?"
"No, maybe it's just the preferences of the ghosts. In short, people who touch or get close to the stone statues will become targets of ghost attacks until they also turn into stone statues."
Zhuo Yifan's expression suddenly changed: "You said these stone statues were all transformed by humans?"
"We didn't believe it at first, but after seeing it with your own eyes, you will understand that nothing is impossible in this world. Elder Anyan, you need to come to us immediately, open the treasure house together, and find the antidote, otherwise
, you will also become a member of the stone statues and sleep here forever."
An Chen's tone was obviously much more relaxed than at first.
It seems that Zhuo Yifan was extremely happy for him.
After hearing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Along the way, many of them touched these stone statues.
According to what An Chen said, everyone has been marked by the ghost and will become the target of the ghost and eventually turn into stone statues.
This is really terrible.
It is an extremely terrifying thing to think about a living person turning into a stone statue and standing forever in this lonely underground passage.
Although everyone was determined to die, this way of death was unacceptable.
"Everyone who has not touched the stone statue must gather together and stay away from the stone statue." Zhuo Yifan said in a deep voice: "Now our only hope is in the treasure house, and we must immediately join Anchen Yindang and the others."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, but due to the effect of Zhuo Yifan's spiritual force field, the situation was still under control. Everyone felt more at ease than ever before, but there was no commotion.
Although there were still many stone statues along the way, everyone consciously stayed away and never dared to approach them again.
Zhuo Yifan's expression suddenly changed and he said in surprise: "Ghost?"
He stretched out his big hand and suddenly grabbed a group of faint white light from the void.
The white spirit body looked very illusory, somewhat similar to the eclipse that Zhuo Yifan had seen before before it changed.
At this moment, this ghost was twisting and struggling in Zhuo Yifan's hands, trying to escape from control, but Zhuo Yifan's hands were like a sealed space. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape.
Ouyang Qingzhi and others gathered around and looked at the group of spirits curiously.
"Yifan, is this a ghost? It doesn't even look as powerful as our Nascent Soul, so what's so scary about it?" Ouyang Qingzhi was a little confused.
Zhuo Yifan said disapprovingly: "It seems to be just a pure spirit body, and it can't even cause the slightest harm to the monks."
To put it bluntly, this spirit body is the essence of the Nascent Soul.
The Nascent Soul is just a layer of protection put on the pure conscious spirit body, just like a human being wearing armor.
At its core, it is still a body of consciousness.
Just like the spirit being held in Zhuo Yifan's hand in front of him.
Such a spirit body does not have the energy provided by the Yuanying shell, so it is not aggressive at all.
This is also where everyone is confused.
Could it be that An Chen and the others were forced to ask for help by such a harmless spirit?
Ordinarily, not only will this kind of spirit not be a threat, but it is actually the resource that the monks like to capture the most!
Under the shroud of Zhuo Yifan's spiritual power, no abnormality was found.
Zhuo Yifan let go of the ghost.
But the next moment, something amazing happened. After the ghost was freed, it rushed directly towards Zhuo Yifan, trying to merge into his body.
Zhuo Yifan's heart tightened for no reason, and he secretly screamed that something was wrong.
At the critical moment, a fire of nothingness appeared in front of him.
The ghost crashed into the fire of nothingness, and immediately let out a shrill cry of soul, and instantly turned into nothingness.
Zhuo Yifan smiled bitterly and said: "I take back what I just said. This ghost is different from ordinary spirits and is full of danger. Everyone, please pay attention. If the ghost rushes towards you, you must get out of the way in time."
As soon as he finished speaking, a monk suddenly shouted and suddenly covered his head.
There was a commotion among the people around him, and Zhuo Yifan flashed to his side, only to see a shocking scene.
The monk in the Tribulation Stage has disappeared from the spiritual force field. In other words, in an instant, not only did his layer of spiritual protection collapse, but his soul consciousness was completely separated from the spiritual force field. In other words,
That is to say, he died completely, and even his soul no longer existed.
And this was just Zhuo Yifan's inner feeling, what his eyes saw was even more astonishing.
The monk gradually stiffened and turned into a stone statue in front of everyone.
There was still a frightened expression on his face, and his pupils were widened, but they were frozen forever.
Zhuo Yifan could hardly believe his eyes.
"How is that possible? He... really turned into a stone statue, completely stone from the inside out."
Zhuo Yifan was stunned, looking at this stone statue, speechless.
A chill rose up from his back. Even with great strength, at this moment, he felt a palpitation in his heart.
