Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 166 Pretending to be a ghost
The wind and rain were getting stronger and stronger, and the several bodyguards squatting in the Taoist temple were becoming more and more uneasy.

They only came to take shelter from the rain when it got dark and the rain got heavier. Even when the rain stopped or lightened, they still had to continue on their journey to reach the designated post station as planned.

Now the rain is getting heavier and heavier and we can't move at all. Staying in one place for too long will not only delay the trip, but most importantly, the longer we stay, the more dangerous it will be.

Coupled with some strange things that had just happened, the several escorts gathered around the campfire seemed very anxious, especially the second son who had just claimed to have seen a will-o'-the-wisp. He looked around like a mouse, staring at the dark corner.

However, the escort leader was calm and composed. He put the luggage he brought under his butt, held the hilt of the knife and closed his eyes to rest.

Yang Yiyi and the other two were on the other side of the hall, sitting next to the statues of the Three Pure Ones in the center of a candle.

"Does this work?"

"What Brother Li said will definitely work."

Zheng Yinping lacked confidence, or perhaps she was simply afraid.

The spear that was usually unpacked and placed in the package had already been assembled and held in his arms. Staring at the flickering candlelight, Zheng Yinping whispered:

“I think I heard some sound.”

"It's the wind. Don't scare yourself."

Li Yingluo and Yang Yiyi were very calm. The former was not afraid of ghosts and was even interested in them, while the latter naturally received the courage from Li Chengxi.

What’s the use of ghosts? How dare the little ghosts act so unruly when there are immortals around?

"But I really heard some noise, rustling, like something was moving around nearby."

As soon as Zheng Yinping finished speaking, there was a bang, and the door of the hall was blown open by the strong wind again, and the door panels clattered together.

The escorts were close to the door, and two of them were about to close it when they heard Erzi let out a scream.

"Ghost! It's right above our heads! It's a will-o'-the-wisp!"

When everyone looked up, they saw a blue ghost fire floating over their heads and going straight through the beam of the hall.

It was said to be slow and leisurely. In just a blink of an eye, the will-o'-the-wisp disappeared on the other side of the hall accompanied by thunder.

Now everyone saw that it was indeed a moving will-o'-the-wisp.

Yang Yiyi grabbed the candle on the ground and put it out. She waited for two seconds and touched the wax with her fingers.

"It's hot, not a ghost."

Zheng Yinping also quickly touched the wax and immediately became alert.

The steel gun in his hand hit the ground with a thud, and Zheng Yinping shouted:
"Who is playing tricks here?"

If you know it's not a ghost, then there's no need to be afraid. If it's a mule or a horse, just pull it out for a walk.

At this time, everyone saw a black shadow flashing along the beams and walls. It didn't look like it was flying there using light kung fu. It looked more like some black humanoid object crawling along the wall like a spider, which made people's scalps numb.

"I saw it! Where are you running to!"

Yang Yiyi reacted the fastest. While others were still looking up to see where the shadow hiding in the darkness had gone, Yang Yiyi stepped on the pedestal of the Three Pure Ones statue beside her, and used the force of the fish leap skill to fly up.

When everyone saw her leap to the height of the beam, they punched her twice.

Maybe because it was too dark on the beam, Yang Yiyi couldn't see clearly, and both punches were blocked by the person hiding in the darkness.

The Fish Leap Technique cannot be used to stay in the air. Once the force disappears, Yang Yiyi will fall down. However, she reached out to grab someone while falling. Although she didn't catch him, she probably didn't expect that someone would jump directly on her face. She was hit and lost her balance, and fell from the beam one after another.

Only then did everyone see that the other person was a person.

The man was masked and wearing night clothes, with many black or dark green strips of cloth hanging on his body, which looked like a simple version of a ghillie suit. Yang Yiyi didn't care what the man was wearing. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she took another small step and jumped to meet him.

At this time, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door. A group of more than a dozen men in black holding various weapons stood at the door. When they saw the situation in the hall, they immediately rushed in with Fengyu.

The escort leader Wang Zhen stood up and drew his sword immediately.

"Form a circle and collect the darts. I want to see who this villain is!"

Those men in black seemed to know that Wang Zhen was not easy to deal with, so no one dared to confront him head-on. Instead, they all used their numerical advantage to attack from the flanks.

Anyone who can make a living in the escort agency is certainly not a weakling. Wang Zhen's sword skills are as fast as a shadow, and the blade light is sharp. He can fight against three or four people at the same time and not lose the upper hand at all.

Wang Zhen learned swordsmanship from a master, and had already mastered the art of wielding the Golden Swallow Sword to perfection. The blade was as sharp as a fluttering spring swallow. Although the sword was known as the King of All Weapons, he wielded it with a light and graceful manner.

The black-clothed man held out a steel fork, but it couldn't even touch his edge. The knife light protected the acupuncture points on his body, and he rushed into the black-clothed man as if he was in an empty space.

Although the remaining five escorts were not as eye-catching as Wang Zhen, they were also well-behaved. They formed a formation and guarded in front of the box, and no man in black could get close to them.

The target of this group of men in black was obviously the escort. As soon as a dozen people came in, they aimed at the escort.

Seeing this, Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping originally planned to help Yang Yiyi first. After all, this matter was already very clear and had nothing to do with them.

But the man in black also noticed the three girls at this time, and probably because he didn't want them to cause trouble, he immediately sent a few of them out.

It seemed that the escorts were guarding easily, but when they actually fought with them, they realized that this group of people were not ordinary bandits.

Not only do they all have martial arts skills, the weapons they use are also varied and bizarre, and their martial arts styles are also different.

Yet, these completely unrelated approaches can be combined together and cooperate well. There must be a master guiding these people, otherwise they would have been in chaos long ago, let alone cooperation. They are even more annoying to deal with than the Plum Blossom Guards.

All the members of the Plum Blossom Guard were from military families, and all they used and learned were military martial arts. They were not good at single combat in narrow spaces, but were better at forming military formations and strangling the enemy in open areas.

These men in black are just the opposite. Their individual martial arts skills far exceed those of the Plum Blossom Guards, and they are better at melee and chaotic fights.

Zheng Yinping felt extremely frustrated when wielding a spear. Her strong and aggressive moves, which she was good at, were often intercepted halfway due to the opponent's well-coordinated tactics. It felt like she had a lot of skills but was unable to use them.

Li Yingluo was better off, as her swordsmanship was naturally light and graceful, but the opponent's diverse weapons were also dazzling. After a few clangs, the sword could only be used for defense and was unable to repel the enemy.

Having said that, the other party didn't seem to have any killing intent. Several times, they could have taken advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy but chose to turn back and defend themselves. It seemed that they just wanted to hold them in place and prevent them from moving.

The identities of this group of people are even more suspicious. They rob a caravan but don’t want to kill anyone?
Or to be more precise, the other party doesn't want to hurt innocent people, so it's best not to take the darts and run away.

As for Yang Yiyi, she didn't even look at the dozen or so men in black who rushed in. She just focused on the one she pulled down and chased after him with the hammer.

The latter's lightness skill is very strange and even weird. It is not like the usual way of lifting with the legs, but more like climbing up quickly by grabbing the wall with hands.

However, due to Yang Yiyi's repeated obstruction, this person tried to escape several times but was stopped by Yang Yiyi every time.

After several times, the opponent seemed to be annoyed and flicked his wrist to create several dark shadows.

"Be careful of hidden weapons!"

Hearing Li Chengxi's reminder, Yang Yiyi quickly covered her face with her arms. Several darts fell on her, but were blocked by the tiger-fur vest.

While Yang Yiyi was protecting her head, she did not stop at all.

The man in black didn't expect Yang Yiyi to be so brave. She took the hidden weapon head-on without even trying to dodge. Yang Yiyi kept her hands protecting her face and hit him on the forehead with a bang.

That’s right, this girl is really a dump truck.
