As I was thinking about it, the skeleton covered in flames rushed towards me, but it was neither a ghost nor a walking corpse, and all its movements seemed to be just instinctive.
When it rushed towards me, its movements were very simple, as if it just wanted to transfer the flames from its body to me.
But its speed was not fast, and it even staggered a bit. I easily dodged it, but it seemed like it was just the beginning.
After I escaped, it suddenly let out a silent roar, and then the flames on its body began to spread around. In just a moment, the flames not only wrapped around it, but spread to almost half of the secret room.
Under this range, there is almost no possibility for me to retreat.
I have no choice but to cast the golden light spell.
Fortunately, the golden light spell can indeed isolate those flames, but I can still feel the heat, and it only takes a moment for me to be covered in sweat.
And it seemed to become angry because of the appearance of the Golden Light Spell.
It kept rushing towards me, constantly trying to use flames to pass through the golden light spell on my body, and then transfer the flames to my body.
After several attempts to no avail, it suddenly stopped, and the flames on its body began to become more intense, spreading directly to the entire secret room in just a moment.
The scorching heat instantly made the air around me unbearably hot, making even breathing a little uncomfortable for me.
This is just the beginning.
After a moment, it suddenly became painfully twisted, and the bones on its body began to rattle under the flames, and then began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Then there was a 'boom' and it exploded directly.
I was shocked. Under the explosion, my body was directly blown away by a huge force and hit the wall hard.
Even with the golden light spell, I felt very uncomfortable at this moment.
When I came back to my senses, I could no longer see any figure in front of me, and the flames also dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than half a minute, the entire secret room returned to its original appearance, as if nothing happened.
Nothing ever happened.
Only in front of that coffin.
There was one missing skeleton at this time.
This scene shocked me and at the same time confirmed my previous guesses.
The explosion was almost the same as the loud noise I heard before.
In other words, those two people may have encountered the same situation as me before they were alive.
But they are just ordinary people.
So they can only die.
Not only that, after I looked around, I unexpectedly discovered that the way out of here actually appeared.
It was like being blown apart.
It seems like the hallucination that appeared at the beginning has disappeared.
Anyway, a familiar road appeared in front of me.
I thought for a moment and walked over.
Sure enough, I soon saw a burst of light. Following the light, I soon walked outside. When I looked up, I saw that the place I was in was the sinkhole.
But if I read correctly, the location I am currently in is indeed not the No. 9 sinkhole.
When I climbed out of the Tiankeng, I saw figures one after another in the distance. They were quite far away from me, but I could still see that they should be people from Tiankeng Village.
And their location should be Tiankeng No. 9.
Before I even got close to them, I already heard their conversation. Not only that, I also saw a familiar figure.
Eighteen old.
Lao Shiba stood in the crowd with a solemn expression.
They didn't seem to notice me, and I didn't take the initiative to say hello. Instead, I stopped when I saw Lao Shiba and found a place to hide temporarily.
Not long after, Lao Ba opened his mouth and said: "I have investigated it clearly."
"There is indeed dirt in these 18 sinkholes."
"But I'm no match for him."
"but……"
He looked at the people present and said seriously: "I made an agreement with him."
"As long as you can hold a sacrifice here tonight and kneel here devoutly all night, it will not hurt you."
"At that time you can still bring people here to make money."
"Is it that simple?" Chen Fu spoke first.
Lao Shiba nodded and said: "Everyone gets what he needs."
Chen Fu asked again: "Will doing this have any impact?"
Lao Shiba said impatiently: "Anyway, I spent a lot of effort to win this for you. In order to fight for you, even..."
As he spoke, his eyes seemed to be red.
"In short, the sacrifice has been huge."
"If you still don't want to."
"Leave here today!"
"Otherwise, I can't save you."
"I do." One person said: "Old Shiba is more capable than us. He has said so. If we follow it, there will definitely be no problem."
"Anyway, I don't want to leave here. If I leave here, where else can I make more money than here?"
"That's right, I listen to Lao Shiba."
"I listen too."
For a moment, everyone agreed. When Chen Fu saw this, he also chose to agree without asking any more questions.
Soon the crowd dispersed as Lao Shiba said, and soon only Lao Ba was left outside Tiankeng No. 9.
Lao Shiba sat casually on the ground, looked around to make sure there was no one, and then took out a talisman from his body. He didn't know what he was saying in his mouth, and then threw the talisman down.
Not long after, there were streaks of dim light appearing in the sinkhole. Seeing those dim lights appearing, my eyes couldn't help but shrink slightly. There were eighteen dim lights in total. But looking from a distance, I couldn't see what was under those dim lights.
.
But it also confirmed my previous guesses.
There is indeed something wrong with this old man.
I'm a little helpless.
I don't know whether to say that this old man is unlucky or something else.
He met me.
No matter what he wants to do, he probably won't be able to accomplish it.
I was also sighing in my heart, if this matter still has something to do with Li Bowen, then I have to admire Li Bowen's power.
Without thinking any more, I continued to stare at Lao Shiba.
A moment after the eighteen dim lights appeared, Lao Ba waved his hand again, and the eighteen dim lights left one after another, as if they had returned to the sinkhole.
Lao Shiba continued to sit outside the pit, as if waiting for something.
I didn't go out, I just watched from the sidelines.
Until it got dark.
People from Tiankeng Village headed by Chen Fu came here one after another.
They all held an incense burner in their hands, with three incense burners lit on it. When they arrived, under the instructions of Lao Shiba, they raised the incense burner above their heads, and then knelt outside the tiankeng.
That look is somewhat familiar to me.
I seem to have seen it somewhere.
But for a while I couldn't think of it.
But I can be sure.
This is indeed some kind of ritual going on.
As the ceremony began, Lao Shiba once again faced the No. 9 Tiankeng. He took out a talisman from his body. At the same time, the talisman turned into a ball of fire and fell directly into the No. 9 Tiankeng.
Not long after.
The surroundings suddenly shook.
Then gray mist floated out of Tiankeng No. 9 and surged around in an instant.
