Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 99: Inside the Underground Palace
The man holding the lantern suddenly screamed, and his body was covered with scars.

Dead branches grew out of these traces, and the tops of the dead branches split into ghost hands.

These ghost hands slapped Chen Ning'an like branches, and his clothes were torn to pieces in an instant, revealing his bloated body and a huge wound from his chest down.

It is sewn densely with needle and thread.

However, the Vajra Talisman worked. Those ghost hands kept hitting, but instead of breaking the defense, they broke many of their own defenses.

"it's useless."

Chen Ning'an pulled out these ghost hands one by one, leaving the man completely unable to resist.

He breathed heavily, his chest heaving violently, but he was unable to move.

His arms and legs had been pulled out along with those ghost hands and dead branches.

"Hehe." Chen Ning'an moved closer to him and stared into his eyes:

"You said you ate the bone fruit and stole something that belonged to me. What should I do?"

…………

Deng Tan was watching all this, but at this moment, he let out a heart-wrenching scream, as if he had seen something extremely horrifying, and his legs went weak and he could no longer stand up.

He wanted to crawl outside, but his hands were powerless and his whole body felt damn weak and sore.

"Tap tap~"

Chen Ningan walked up to him slowly: "Why are you running? I won't eat you."

Deng Tan's body went limp and he completely lost all his strength, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

"Brother, brother, I was wrong, I was wrong, please don't torture me!"

He was almost frightened to death; the scenes before him were too psychologically challenging.

"Tell me, where did this bone fruit come from?"

Chen Ning'an picked him up and asked him. After he ate the bone fruit, he felt that he had become stronger again.

But he was sensitive to qi and blood and realized that he had not gained even a pound or two. It should be that his bones had been strengthened.

The more good things like this, the better.

"Brother, this thing is a bone plant that grows on bones. After you pick the fruit, the plant will wither."

Deng Tan did not dare to hide a single word and described in detail the characteristic shape of the bone fruit and how it was discovered.

It is indeed a coincidence. If you want to find it again, you may have to wander around in this freezing area.

Chen Ning'an felt very sorry because he had to travel to the northwest and could not stay for too long.

"After I deal with them, I can come back here anytime. I have plenty of time."

He muttered to himself, no longer paying attention to Deng Tan who was lying limp on the ground, and walked towards the northwest.

The Frozen Bone Zone is safer than the Frozen Corpse Zone. As long as you avoid the bones on the ground, you will be safe. There is no danger from external forces, and with the help of vision, you can...

Chen Ning'an slowly stopped.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, he realized something was wrong.

There's something wrong with the bones of this body.

The Vajra Talisman is generating heat, and its Qi and blood are being consumed. The problem is not internal, but external.

He felt something controlling him, penetrating through his skin, and his originally fast steps gradually became slower.

It's not that he was willing to slow down, but this body seemed to be fighting with him for control.

what?
Chen Ning'an stopped and the more he looked forward, the more he felt something was wrong.

Is there such a simple place in Dengjing?
He asked himself, in a Shanmu Deng Realm that had already gone out of control, he almost died without a realm master, and here, there was actually a safe zone?
Are you kidding me?
Chen Ning'an was careless and didn't dare to move any further. He wanted to retreat, but half a second later his body took half a step back.

"Are you trying to seize control from me?" He snorted coldly, forcing the energy of his shareholders to move behind him.

But after taking a few steps, he saw Deng Tan's face was filled with fear and panic, and he kept moving in one direction without any movement.

Did the territory master take action?

Chen Ning'an's heart sank. He could not think of any other possibility except the territory master.

The body was gradually being controlled, but he resisted and remained unmoved.

Even if the body wants to leave, he will pull it back.

We are stuck in a stalemate, with no way out.

The coffins rattled, the chains trembled, and the invisible battle continued to touch, separate, touch, and separate again.

Suddenly, the ground shook.

Chen Ning'an heard a lot of whispers coming from behind him.

Something is coming.

The silent whispering sound didn't get louder, but it was getting closer and closer to him, as if it was slowly lowering its voice as it got closer, for fear of waking him up.

Chen Ning'an felt that the thing behind him was leaning against him.

The next second, a white and slender arm stretched out from behind his waist and gently stopped him.

Like a lover's caress, gentle and sweet.

The second hand, of course, appeared.

But the third hand and the fourth hand kept reaching out, all of them were white and beautiful, hugging him tightly into a ball.

His footsteps lightened as he was carried and moved very quickly.

Chen Ning'an guessed that this thing didn't seem to be afraid of those bones. His eyes were also covered and he couldn't see clearly in front.

If you think about it carefully, how long would his hands be if he could carry something on his back and still be able to hug him?

The journey was bumpy and Chen Ningan forgot for a few seconds until he was thrown into an underground palace.

This place is underground, and the walls are covered with totems of giants. Chen Ningan saw that the giants on the totems were very similar to humans, completely different from those outside.

Eternal lamps were lit up on both sides of the underground. There was a big door in the front, but he could not move and was placed behind a group of people.

This group of people, like him, were unable to move.

Some people took the initiative to come down, most of them were lantern bearers, the light from their lanterns flickered, illuminating the place brightly.

"Wow~"

The chains rattled softly.

Chen Ning'an looked ahead and saw a disgusting thing appear.

A thick tail as big as a millstone was dragging on the ground, the upper body was covered with densely packed hands, and at the top was a beautiful head.

It was very similar to the white female corpse that Chen Ningan had seen twice.

Is this the Lord of the Territory?

He watched helplessly as the thing embraced a man, and the man kept spinning in its hands, getting smaller and shorter with each rotation.

After waiting for more than ten rounds, the man disappeared into the monster's hands.

No! It was eaten!

Chen Ningan saw that there were many fine wrinkles on the body of this thing, and each wrinkle was red.

It's really... mouth-watering.

His body was shaking, and something was bulging out from the stitched wound on his chest. Just when he was about to continue, he suddenly stopped.

The back of the person in front of him looked very familiar. If he hadn't observed it subconsciously, he might not have noticed it.

That was the silhouette of the mysterious man that he had recalled countless times.

Although he changed his clothes, he still couldn't deceive Chen Ning'an's eyes.

People from the human realm are also here.

He didn't believe that this mysterious person in the human realm could be controlled without any other means.

And people in the human realm shouldn't go out alone.

He continued to observe and saw that some of the lantern holders did not look panicked but were very calm.

Either he was ready to die, or he was confident. He gave up on revealing his trump card and watched the monsters eat him one by one.

Finally, a lantern bearer with a calm face arrived.

"Click."

The mysterious man really moved.

He freed his body from its restraints and moved closer to the monster, a ball of yellow mud in his hand.

Chen Ningan felt that the yellow mud was familiar. Yes, it was the yellow mud in the Fengguo Secret Realm.

If you look closely, you can see that the mysterious man is also covered in yellow mud. Did they use this method to prevent themselves from being controlled?
But the reversal has just begun.

The mysterious man kept slapping yellow mud at the monster, and more and more mud stuck to the monster.

He was grabbed by many hands, twisted around, and bitten until his flesh was bloody.

But the next second, a mysterious man appeared behind the monster and continued to sprinkle yellow mud.

A ball of yellow mud hit the monster's entire body. The monster's movements were slowing down, and Chen Ning'an also realized that his body was gradually regaining control.

The mysterious man suddenly moved away from the monster again.

He came to a building in the underground palace, and the next second, the building suddenly expanded out from the monster's body.

How did he do it!
Chen Ning'an's eyes widened. This move came too suddenly and he was not prepared at all.

The monster was killed instantly, and the building appeared from under its body, passed through it and came out from behind it.

Lines of dark brown blood flowed down the pits.

Chen Ning'an felt a great loosening of control over his body, and now he felt as if he was wearing armor weighing several hundred kilograms.

It was weakening rapidly, and it was definitely related to this monster.

"call!"

The mysterious man exhaled long and squatted on the ground, hugging himself.

He was twitching. It was obvious that this operation came at a high cost, but it was unclear what the cost was.

The people holding lanterns began to shake, and the lights of many people moved. The first to start were those in the human realm.

They quickly walked out of the crowd and approached the mysterious man.

"Captain, are you okay?"

Several people were worried, "You just initiated an exchange, can your body still bear it?"

"fine."

The mysterious man stood up coughing, his body covered with wounds.

"Xiao Sun, explain it to those lantern-carrying people and give a speech."

He leaned on one of his men and asked Xiao Sun to lobby these lantern bearers.

The growth of the human realm requires power. In Zhongcheng, they dare not make too big moves and can only eat what Ye An leaves behind.

But in this lantern world, no one cares about them, which is a good opportunity to absorb fresh blood.

"Yes!"

Xiao Sun stood in a higher place skillfully.

"Everyone calm down and don't panic. The monster has been defeated by our guide from the human realm!"

Guide!!!
As soon as these three words came out, the lantern bearers immediately took their attention seriously.

No matter what, the guides were all aloof, and they had roughly seen the battle just now.

No one understood how it was done in the end, but they understood as soon as they heard the name of the guide.

It is worth it for the guide to do this, this is the most correct way.

But what is the human realm? Some newcomers don’t understand, and only a small number of experienced pioneers understand.

"Friends, listen to me, this lantern is actually Ye An's conspiracy!"

He said: "Ye An United Territory Lord asked you to die in order to meet the Territory Lord's rude request. This is why it is dangerous for us to carry lanterns every time, and why a large number of people die!"

Many people find it hard to believe the conflict of interest.

The official Ye An was actually the ultimate murderer who killed them?
"I know you are confused. We are all trying to survive, but we have to be controlled by the Ye'an people just because of a mere special medicine. Why?!"

"In order to please the territory master, the Ye'an people dare not declare war, but will be slowly devoured. What is the difference between us and slaves!"

Every word aroused the anger in everyone's hearts. Chen Ningan couldn't help but sigh, "That's amazing!"

He put everyone on a boat docked at the shore, and Ye Anren was the ruthless sea.

It arouses empathy and then drops a bombshell.

"We are different from Ye An. They want to feed the Territory Lord and we are the food, but we want to kill the Territory Lord and share this predator!"

The lantern people were in a commotion, but it was just a commotion. Everyone was rational and would not believe one side's story.

Xiao Sun had expected this. He gave his teammates a look, and immediately someone started taking things out.

"Isn't the leverage that Ye'an people have over us a special medicine? We in the Human Realm also have this thing. The Human Realm welcomes like-minded friends. Once you join the Human Realm, we will take care of all your special medicines!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an immediate exclamation of surprise. The special medicine really touched their hearts.

Everyone knows that carrying a lantern is dangerous, but if you don't carry a lantern you will die, but with a lantern you can survive.

Everyone was holding the special medicine in their hands, and they looked exactly like Ye An.

"Wait, how do we know that Renjie isn't the next Yean?"

Someone questioned, "Now that we have your special medicine, do we still have to carry lanterns like before?"

"Of course... no!"

The mysterious man recovered, and he stepped forward and said, "I can assure you that the lanterns are not mandatory. We will only carry out lanterns in special circumstances."

He gave an example: "You can use as much as Ye An gives you. Once you finish eating, there will be no more. But we in the human realm will always provide you with supplies. Even if you don't agree, just refuse."

It was a temptation, but it didn't say anything about their frequency.

Chen Ning'an sneered and moved under the monster's body.

The building obscured his figure, but the monster's drooping female head could be seen just above him.

It...is not dead yet.

Chen Ning'an heard the whisper again, but it became extremely faint and difficult to hear clearly.

"I'm... in so much pain."

He looked up again, and the monster's head was staring at his face as he stared at Chen Ning'an.

“Kill me…

The murmur, heard clearly, was a woman's wailing, an unconscious cry of grief.

Her vitality was so strong that she could not die even though her body was torn apart. She stared at Chen Ningan without blinking.

She seemed to have regained some of her rationality. She was no longer agitated and frantic. Instead, she whispered softly,
"I'll tell you a secret, and then you kill me, okay?"

"You said."

Chen Ning'an originally pulled out a butcher knife, but after thinking for a moment, he changed it to a lightning-struck branch.

"The territory master's injury... is fake."

She stared at Chen Ning'an without blinking.

"That's it?"

The monster nodded: "You'd better leave as soon as possible, or you will die."

Chen Ning'an was silent for a moment. This monster left his last kindness to him.

He gently stabbed the lightning-struck branch into the woman's forehead. She didn't even have the strength to twitch and died silently.

"Infinite Heavenly Lord."

Chen Ning'an sighed softly: "Your embrace is still very gentle."
