Chapter 104: Eerie Ancient House

"What realm are you..."

Before the question was finished, the woman's expression became incredibly stiff.

As the distance closed, she actually discovered that this was a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old youths?

High school students?

Recently, there had been turmoil inside the Black Lantern Demon Cave; how did high school students get in?

"Don't panic, tell us the specific situation first!" Deng Yutang shouted loudly.

"I, we were..." The middle-aged woman discovered the existence of the bronze-armored guard, and her eyes lit up instantly.

That's right!

Since this group of high school students was allowed to enter the Demon Cave, this meant their strength must be very powerful!

This team was very likely a front-line squad from some high school in the city!

Thinking of this, the woman ran even faster: "My daughter is controlled, controlled by the Yin Miao Miao Huo Long!

She can only stand there with her water flow armor on!

She can't fight, and she can't escape..."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Evil Technique: Yin Miao Miao Huo Long was an evil technique that the Black Lantern clan could only equip at the River Realm.

"Single target controlled?" Deng Yutang analyzed quickly. "That is to say, that is a River Realm, 1st Stage Black Lantern.

At most River Realm, 2nd Stage?"

If the Black Lantern was River Realm, 3rd Stage, it could equip Evil Technique: Yin Lantern Array.

That kind of evil technique was a group control; no one could escape!

"Yes, it should be River Realm, 1st Stage! What is your realm? Can you help us?" The woman said while glancing uncontrollably at the bronze-armored guard.

"We are Stream Realm, 2nd or 3rd Stage." Deng Yutang said, turning to look at Tian Tian. "Command?"

"Stream Realm, 2nd or 3rd Stage..." The middle-aged woman felt very uneasy.

Although she had been mentally prepared, knowing that no matter how strong this group of high school students was, they couldn't be that strong.

But hearing this realm with her own ears, she still sighed in her heart.

"Chang Ying, let the bronze-armored guard cover the rear and attract the enemy." Tian Tian was kind-hearted and couldn't just watch them die. "Let's go take a look!"

Such a decision was obviously subconscious.

After Tian Tian's words fell, she remembered to look for Lu Ran's figure.

"Alright!" Chang Ying waved her hand, and the bronze-armored guard immediately withdrew from the battle and began to attract the enemy.

"This way, this way!" The woman hurriedly greeted everyone, a bit like a sick person seeking medical advice blindly.

These students were the closest people, and the battlefield wouldn't wait for anyone!

Now, if she were to look for other reinforcements, it would be too late!

"What believers are you all?" The middle-aged woman asked while panting as she led the way.

"Spirit Sign, Jian Lian, and Red Scarf!" Chang Ying responded loudly and charged forward.

"Good, very good!"

Listening to the names of the gods one by one, the woman felt a glimmer of hope rise in her heart again.

"Eh?" Tian Tian fluttered her short legs, watching Chang Ying run past her side with big strides.

"I'll carry you." Chang Ying turned to look at her commander and immediately stretched out her long arms.

"Mm." Tian Tian let out a soft cry.

Her petite body was scooped up by Chang Ying and tucked under her arm.

Tian Tian felt strange, but... there was no time to care about it now.

"There is also an Xiang Xiang Xianyang believer." In front, Deng Yutang's voice came again.

"Good... uh, Xiang Xiang Xianyang believer is also quite good." The woman clearly stuttered, then said, "Young man, you must be a Red Scarf believer.

In a moment, you open the Red Scarf Domain and help cut the battlefield apart first!"

"Can do." Deng Yutang nodded directly. "How much further?"

"Just ahead, just ahead!"

Everyone ran at high speed for a while, and the woman suddenly pointed into the distance: "Over there, do you see it!"

Deng Yutang looked up and saw a large area of pitch-black smoke filling the torch path far away.

Deng Yutang couldn't help but look grim.

The situation was far more serious and dangerous than imagined!

That layer upon layer of black mist concentration was astonishing; it was exactly the Black Lantern sect's Evil Technique: Smoke Miao Miao Huo Long.

The Black Lantern clan was quite special; they had no facial features, and no one knew what they relied on to perceive the world.

This meant that the Black Lanterns wouldn't be disturbed by the smoke.

But humans couldn't!

Deng Yutang and the others couldn't see the battlefield at all; if they rushed into the black mist rashly, it would be no different from seeking death!

This kind of evil spirit, the Black Lantern, was extremely prone to explosion.

Deng Yutang and the others were Stream Realm, without water flow armor; if they touched a Black Lantern, their bodies could be blown to pieces!

"Help, young man!" The middle-aged woman was extremely anxious. "Auntie only has this one daughter!

Auntie begs you, you must help me... Right, Spirit Sign believer!

Girl, send your warrior in first, Auntie will cover the rear for you!"

"Chang Ying, let the bronze-armored guard go!" A voice came from Chang Ying's waist. "Deng, hurry and call Lu Ran!"

"Brother Lu!" Deng Yutang roared, looking into the pitch-black night. "Brother Lu?"

That thick black mist battlefield was simply not a place for humans to go.

Apart from the fearless bronze-armored guard, only Lu Ran could go!

"Where is Lu Ran?" Chang Ying also shouted, reaching forward to command the bronze-armored guard to charge.

"Bang!"

"Bang!!" In the thick black mist, bursts of violent explosions sounded, making people's hearts tremble.

What was even more terrifying was that this movement attracted more Black Lanterns to gather.

If this continued, even if the humans trapped inside had water flow armor, they would eventually be blown to pieces.

The bronze-armored guard charged forward, pouncing on the black mist battlefield.

Tian Tian struggled to land, pushing out a nine-petaled lotus flower from her hands, flying toward the group of Black Lanterns entangled with the bronze-armored guard.

"Yes!" The middle-aged woman clenched her fists, constantly comforting herself. "The bronze-armored guard doesn't use eyes to see the world either.

He must be able to find her, right?"

The middle-aged woman suddenly exclaimed!

In her line of sight, a figure actually killed its way out laterally from the dark graveyard?

That person was wearing black clothes, like a ghost, with a red scarf covering his eyes and holding two blades.

Thick white mist sprayed under his feet, and his speed was incredibly fast!

"Brother Lu!" Deng Yutang's tiger eyes lit up.

Previously, he was anxious in his heart, but after seeing this figure, Deng Yutang was completely settled.

"Is Lu Ran here?" Tian Tian faced the rear, blocking the pursuers, and asked hurriedly.

"He's here!" Chang Ying opened her mouth, foolishly saying, "He... he went in?"

The situation in the black mist, everyone couldn't see at all.

But outside the black mist, everyone could see clearly!

So many Black Lanterns were floating there, like a lantern array!

If the bronze-armored guard wanted to kill his way into the black mist group, he would have to spend a lot of effort!

However, the figure with the red scarf covering his eyes actually advanced and retreated, flashing and moving in the lantern array.

He walked out a strange path of advance, and then plunged into the black mist!

"My god!" The middle-aged woman was completely stunned. "What... what is that?"

Deng Yutang said in a deep voice: "What I just said, Xiang Xiang Xianyang believer."

The middle-aged woman looked shocked: "Ah?"

"Boom!"

In the thick black mist, a sudden explosion sounded.

The vibration made everyone's hearts tighten.

No one knew that this movement came from Evil Technique: Soul-Splitting Demon Hoof!

On the battlefield filled with black mist, Lu Ran stomped his foot heavily on the ground.

The violent air wave blew the surrounding Black Lanterns away, having a momentum of "clearing the field"!

"Bang!"

"Bang..." The Black Lantern group had a chain reaction; after being hit, they exploded one after another.

"Lu Ran!"

On the torch path, Chang Ying couldn't help but step forward, shouting into the black mist group.

Deng Yutang's expression grew increasingly grim, clenching the long spear in his hand.

"Sss—"

The sound of air currents spraying came out again.

The middle-aged woman was both surprised and happy!

She saw the black-clothed youth carrying a slender figure, rushing out of the black mist.

"Quick!" Chang Ying raised her hand abruptly.

At her fingertips, there seemed to be invisible threads pulling the bronze-armored guard in the distance.

The bronze-armored guard immediately charged forward, his long spear sweeping left and right, trying his best to clear a path for Lu Ran.

"Sss—"

Mist sprayed under Lu Ran's feet, brushing past the bronze-armored guard.

In an instant, the bronze-armored guard opened his arms, turning himself into a meat shield, welcoming the bursts of explosive air waves ahead.

"Rise!!"

The wind and waves blew the black mist surging over; Deng Yutang let out a sharp shout, holding a large flag in his hand.

Red Scarf Divine Technique: Red Scarf Domain!

The large flag was inserted heavily into the ground, and the red cover opened immediately.

Connecting the Black Lanterns and carrying the thick black mist, everything was isolated outside.

Lu Ran immediately changed his posture, from charging to sliding horizontally, even stabbing his blade into the ground, trying his best to slow down the momentum.

"Whoosh~"

With a flurry of dust, the figure slowly came to a steady stop.

"Xianxian!"

The middle-aged woman was extremely nervous and rushed over, taking her daughter down from Lu Ran's shoulder.

"Wow, Lu Ran!" Chang Ying also arrived, holding Lu Ran's shoulders with both hands and looking him up and down, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Lu Ran finally took off the red cloth from his eyes, but he didn't look at the others, walking instead toward the front left.

"Brother Lu?" Deng Yutang noticed Lu Ran's strangeness.

"What's wrong?" Chang Ying followed immediately, arriving at the edge of the light red cover with Lu Ran.

She saw Lu Ran squinting slightly, as if observing something.

Chang Ying only saw the graveyard outside the torch path and the Black Lanterns arriving in a flutter.

She naturally assumed Lu Ran was watching the pursuers.

In reality, that was not the case!

Ever since approaching this battlefield, Lu Ran had smelled an extremely thick ghostly aura!

But to enter the black mist to save people, he had to cover his eyes first and listen carefully.

Now, Lu Ran could finally look over there, and at this look...

Lu Ran felt his hair stand on end!

What did he see?

Was that... was that a haunted house?

In the pitch darkness, on the edge of the distant graveyard, stood a huge, traditional Chinese-style ancient mansion.

The gloomy mansion gate was wide open!

Pitch-black lanterns hung on the gate, swaying gently.

Streams of black mist were surging out from the mansion gate.

Inside the courtyard, even more black mist shot into the sky, like wisps of silk, spreading in all directions.

Cold winds blew, and the ghostly aura was oppressive!

"Holy crap..."

Lu Ran's Adam's apple bobbed.

Such a gloomy ancient mansion gave Lu Ran a huge visual impact.

In his mind, he even automatically added a mournful, solemn, and highly penetrating traditional Chinese wind instrument sound!

Having brought this trouble upon himself, he was covered in goosebumps.

This damn thing...

This?
