Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 9

"Come with me!"

There were bits of mud scattered under Chen Ning'an's footsteps as he went back the same way.

Along the way, it was silent, as if they were the only ones who had entered this dangerous and unpredictable forest.

When we reached the edge, we could hear the whistling of wind from far away outside, separated only by a few trees.

"Do you really want to go out?" Wang Youcai's chubby face turned pale with fear. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that he might die if he went out.

Chen Ning'an said nothing and gently pointed the burning lantern out of the woods.

"call……"

Another gust of wind blew, causing the lantern to sway, but strangely, the yellow mud on top seemed to be welded tightly like iron, and was really not afraid of being eroded by the wind.

"Don't open your mouth, just go."

After confirming that it was the yellow mud, Chen Ningan took a step forward and walked out.

"Wait a minute! Ning An, why don't you try it on your fingers or hair first?"

The fat man was scared to death, but the man in front of him was already standing in the wind.

Chen Ning'an didn't say anything, but pointed to his mouth as if to block it.

This wind is strange, we must be on guard.

Heng Gua, the wind is always blowing, he can only follow the guidance of the Gua and go in the direction where the wind comes from.

He could have done better if he had a guide and directions.

Suddenly, a woman in front and downwind caught his attention and was running towards them.

[Boning Knife]

Liu Chenxue was wearing a cloak and walking in the howling wind.

She searched for the place where the light went out and took out the red candle in the lantern.

Some are rich people who buy these things.

Then, she would search the body to see if there was anything else she could find.

We are all desperate men, racing against death. An extra penny might buy us one more miracle drug.

"pat..."

Suddenly, there was a sound of something falling to the ground behind him. In an instant, Liu Chenxue's face changed drastically and he started running away without saying a word!

She was not traveling alone, but was traveling with several pioneers she knew.

Lantern bearers who have just entered the industry are not qualified at all. Only pioneers with certain strength are worthy of coexisting.

Because they have not been screened by death, newcomers will often drag down others if they are not careful.

But even so, we are all pioneers and problems have arisen.

They took a white metal box from a house and lured out the monster.

This monster, which could only jump on its feet, killed Liu Anran in an instant, and then jumped more than ten meters to catch up with Zhang Erjie.

Everyone fled in all directions, and Liu Chenxue was lucky enough not to be caught up.

She braved the wind and snow, checked the white metal box in her arms, and touched the corpse.

If she's lucky enough, she won't have to take on any official missions for a long time.

However, the accident still happened.

"pat..."

That was the sound of two feet landing on the ground, unique to that monster!

Liu Chenxue put down the corpse and ran away without saying a word. She really couldn't imagine why this thing would appear again!

Perhaps, others have been killed by it?

The thought made her shudder.

"Sizzle...sizzle..." The red candle was burning wildly and even made a sound, just because that thing was getting closer and closer.

This thing has a certain warning and defensive function.

Do you want to shift the blame elsewhere?

Liu Chenxue didn't even think about this question, she ran straight towards the two lantern lights.

Just like before, the entire team died.

"Ning'an, there are lanterns ahead." Wang Youcai pointed into the distance. In the dim world, they couldn't see clearly what was going on. They could only see the light of the lanterns moving towards them.

Something was blocking the lantern, causing it to flicker, so it wasn't blown out by the wind.

"It's a woman running towards us. Should we wait for her?"

Wang Youcai covered his mouth with his muddy hands and asked, "Maybe she needs help. We can also ask him for some information."

"Well, I do admit it..."

Chen Ning'an was about to nod when he suddenly felt a chill on his right shoulder. Then the wind started to blow again, bringing with it a round piece of white paper money.

Round coins, the symbol of Qian gold?
In an instant, he didn't say anything and pulled Wang Youcai and ran away.

"Stay away from her!"

He didn't know where the boning knife was going, but he knew that the piece of paper money was a warning, and if he got any closer he would only wait for death.

The two lantern lights began to move. Liu Chenxue thought to herself, "Oh no! The other party must have found some way to know that something was following her."

"Don't even think about running away!"

She gritted her teeth, replaced the almost burned-out red candle in the lantern, and ran as fast as she could.

She could hardly run anymore and had to find a scapegoat.

"Huh...huh..."

Chen Ning'an was too weak and couldn't run after a while. His special medicine had expired long ago.

Now his body began to ache and his symptoms recurred. He felt that he could not hold on any longer and his consciousness began to blur.

"Ning'an!"

Wang Youcai saw that he was running slower and slower, and his eyes suddenly turned red when he guessed the reason.

"I'll carry you on my back. I, Wangcai, have nothing but great strength!"

He carried Chen Ning'an on his back and ran, and his speed was even faster than before.

Chen Ningan was fighting the pain, sweating profusely. He could only warn with difficulty: "Go to where the wind is coming from. Don't touch the white metal."

"it is good!"

The fat man gritted his teeth and kept running, but the lantern behind him somehow got closer and closer to him.

"Ah!" Wang Youcai moved his legs desperately, but he didn't know that Liu Chenxue had also reached her limit.

She couldn't speed up and could only keep up with Wang Youcai.

Chen Ning'an raised his eyes with difficulty and saw Liu Chenxue, who looked at him. The scarlet candlelight in the lantern illuminated a large area.

It also illuminated the thing following behind them.

"hiss……"

He gasped, feeling shocked and horrified, yet mixed with a hint of joy.

The legs are jumping, there are evil fangs and a green-faced ghost head.

僵！
"Ning An, what's wrong?" Wang Youcai was so tired that his legs felt like lead, but he never thought of putting down the person on his back.

Liu Chenxue was actually left behind by him.

"Nothing, you ran away."

But even so, they couldn't run far if the boning knife was killed. There was no place to hide in the forest and plains.

Now, the only way is to break the deadlock.

Chen Ningan endured the pain and said, "Boning knife, are my things still there?"

"exist!"

Her eyes flashed and she took out the amulet.

This thing actually glows. It's just simple ink on paper, but it has magical powers.

"It's fine. Give it to me and I'll tell you how to get rid of the thing behind you!"

"Do you know what it is?" Liu Chenxue didn't dare to look back. She could already hear the "click" sound of the monster every time it landed on her heels.

If it weren't for the huge fear, she would have been unable to run.

It was really close, she couldn't help it any longer: "I'll give you the things, you...

"Say it!"

She screamed, and the lantern shook violently, almost being blown out by the wind.

"Bite the tip of your tongue and spit blood on it!"

There were only eight words, and Chen Ning'an shouted them because the wind was blowing again.

That monster is not afraid of the wind.

"I don't believe it!" Liu Chenxue remained silent. If she turned around and spit out the blood from the tip of her tongue, she would definitely be caught up if she delayed.

"Believe it or not, you can't catch up with us anyway."

Chen Ning'an sneered and ignored her.

If he could draw one amulet, he could draw a second one. It wasn't really necessary for him.

But I am still weak now and have to use external objects to protect myself.

Liu Chenxue's face was pale with dark spots, and her blood oxygen supply was insufficient. She was really about to be caught up.
