I started on a rocking horse and relied on watching ads to dominate the highway survival charts.

Huo Yunzhi took out the safe zone and expanded it to its maximum size, putting the two of them and the incense burner inside, directly blocking the incense burner ghost's escape route.

Huo Yunzhi took out a temporary tattoo and applied it.

Miao Miao, who was standing at a distance, immediately sensed it and began to apply a buff to her.

Several stats, such as strength and speed, began to rise wildly. With the boost from these attributes, Huo Yunzhi flashed to the incense burner.

After the Immortal's Guide was inserted into the incense burner, the burning speed increased visibly, as if it were trying to force the evil spirit out of the incense burner.

"Clang—Clang—"

The incense burner began to rattle and clang from side to side, making an annoying noise against the red brick floor.

"Trying to leave?" Huo Yunzhi suddenly grabbed the edge of the stove.

The brass incense burner began to emanate a cold and desperate ghostly aura, invading her body along her arm.

Huo Yunzhi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and her fingers and arms began to show symptoms of frostbite.

Is this an attempt to make her unable to stand it and take matters into her own hands?

Huo Yunzhi snorted coldly.

Playing this game with a ghost messenger like her?

What a fuss!

How could she possibly let it get its way so easily!

With a slight thought, an even more sinister and terrifying aura of a ghost began to slowly travel along Huo Yunzhi's arm.

"The Supreme Star, ever-responsive, dispels evil and binds demons, protecting life and ensuring safety!"

She forcefully suppressed the invading ghostly energy back into the incense burner.

Suddenly, a warm breeze, like a spring breeze, enveloped her, and the wounds on her fingers and arms began to heal gradually.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Xu Xiu approached with her eyes closed at some point.

She held a white jade bottle in one hand and was making hand seals with the other.

Huo Yunzhi's lips curled up slightly, her gaze on the incense burner becoming increasingly focused.

They were already standing in the spring water, and this incense burner ghost was still fighting her!

One of the "Pointing the Way" sticks was about to burn out, and Huo Yunzhi prepared to take out the next one to continue burning.

But just as the last bit of incense ash was about to fall, a strange change occurred in the incense burner.

A wisp of black smoke rose from the incense burner, its smoke twisting as if it were alive, and finally slowly condensed into a hideous ghost face vaguely visible in the black mist.

It stared straight at Huo Yunzhi, the resentment in its eyes almost bursting out of the smoke and dust.

A musty smell began to fill the air.

"We're finally out." Huo Yunzhi smiled with satisfaction.

The vengeful ghost before her had no physical form, which proved that her prediction was correct; the incense burner was the dwelling place that this vengeful ghost had usurped.

Under Huo Yunzhi's control, the safe zone rapidly shrank, locking down the vengeful ghosts that were preparing to escape.

Due to the rules of the safe zone, as the Incense Burner Ghost struggles, the black smoke around its body grows thicker and thicker, and it may also emit a sharp, painful scream.

Once she was sure there was no more black smoke coming out of the incense burner, Huo Yunzhi flung it at Qin Yuanshan.

"Qin Yuanshan, take it to the main house!"

Qin Yuanshan, who was anxiously awaiting instructions, was startled and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a brass incense burner flying towards him.

incense burner?

That incense burner that kills you if you look away from it?

"good!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Yuanshan leaped forward and tightly embraced the incense burner.

The next second, he activated his wall-passing ability, disappearing from everyone's sight with it.

"What courage!"

Wen Zhaoye couldn't suppress his admiration: "The incense burner is the medium through which the vengeful ghost operates. When the incense burner disappears from its own sight, it will definitely have an impact on the ghost itself. Just like... a hermit crab that has lost its shell."

"Thank you for the compliment." Huo Yunzhi continued to stare intently at the incense burner ghost.

A dozen seconds later, the aura of the Incense Burner Ghost became weaker and weaker, and it began to slowly solidify from its ethereal state.

"Shen Chilie! An Ning!"

"boom!"

Before Huo Yunzhi could finish speaking, Shen Chilie's fist and Su Anning's chainsaw slammed into the Incense Burner Ghost together.

Two terrifying auras violently dispersed the black smoke on the Incense Burner Ghost's body.

"Did his punch just now create a sonic boom?" Huo Yunzhi asked Xu Xiu behind her.

"It's not just sonic booms." Wen Zhaoye said proudly, "An Ning's weapon seems to have developed new attributes as well; its strength and damage appear to have doubled."

"Indeed." Huo Yunzhi nodded: "When I first saw it, I felt a sense of contrast, that cute girl was a berserker or something."

Two minutes later, the Incense Burner Ghost collapsed to the ground, motionless, looking somewhat dead.

Shen Chilie and Su Anning stopped with smiles on their faces and looking refreshed.

"alright."

"All done!"

Huo Yunzhi nodded and stepped forward, then closed her eyes.

A few seconds later, she opened her eyes again.

The paper doll was completely unharmed.

With the confirmation mechanism failing, Huo Yunzhi and Wen Zhaoye both breathed a sigh of relief.

She opened the group chat's live voice message and sent a message to Qin Yuanshan: "The incense burner ghost has been suppressed. Come back. Remember to bring the incense burner back with you."

"Okay!" Qin Yuanshan replied very quickly.

When Qin Yuanshan returned through the wall, he saw the other six people squatting in a group, discussing how to deal with the incense burner ghost.

"I can't kill this kind of vengeful ghost; I can only suppress it for a while. Once the time is up, it will awaken again."

"At that point, it will probably hold a grudge and hide somewhere, waiting for a chance to kill us."

Shen Chilie became increasingly clenched his teeth as he spoke.

"How long can you suppress it?"

One question turned Shen Chilie's resentful expression into one of guilt: "Only ten minutes."

"Do you have some misunderstanding about only two words?" Qin Yuanshan's hands, holding the incense burner, trembled slightly.

"Ten minutes is plenty of time," Huo Yunzhi agreed.

But Shen Chilie shook his head stubbornly: "If only I could suppress the enemy throughout the entire dungeon, then everyone would be in less danger. The commander is right, I still have a long way to go."

Wen Zhaoye, whose only strength was his intellect and whose physical abilities were practically zero, decided not to join their conversation.

He rubbed his eyes, which were sore from staring at the incense burner for so long: "We're not sure if the quest items will be returned to their original places when the dungeon is reset. Let's just take the incense burner with us and see what happens."

As for the incense burner ghost... I just thought of a potentially feasible solution.

Tell me about it.

"Block its vision."

Wen Zhaoye beckoned to Qin Yuanshan, signaling Qin Yuanshan to hand over the incense burner to him.

Qin Yuanshan hesitated, glancing at Huo Yunzhi. Only after Huo Yunzhi nodded did he hand over the incense burner: "What are you going to do?"

"Look at this incense burner," Wen Zhaoye showed it to everyone. "The vengeful ghost is hiding inside, and it can trigger the mechanism by connecting with our line of sight. It can be seen that no obstruction can block the line of sight; it will only become a new medium."

In that case, let's make ourselves a special medium, a medium from which we can never escape.
