After the death of the villain master, the traitor went crazy

The place the three of them agreed to meet was still some distance away from the creek bay. Seeing her shadow getting shorter and shorter, Li Jin'er became more and more anxious.

Just now, I looked out from afar and saw figures swaying on the mountainside. It seems that my senior sisters and the others have arrived.

Li Jin'er felt more confident, but she didn't know whether her younger brother Li Fuyi had arrived.

After passing through the huge bamboo forest in front and climbing halfway up the mountain, you will reach the agreed flat land.

She was stuck at first and wasted a lot of time. At her current speed, it would be a stretch for her to arrive before noon.

This bamboo forest is right on the only way through. If we take a detour...

You have to cross mountains and follow the mountain to reach the flat land halfway up the mountain.

In any case, we won’t get there before noon!

Li Jin'er's memory of this bamboo forest was very vague, and she was unsure...

But time passed by minute by minute, she became anxious and did not dare to stop at all.

Without thinking, he plunged into the only vaguely visible path in the bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest is so dense that it seems as if it was carefully woven by nature. The bamboo leaves above the head are stacked layer by layer, interweaving into an uneven canopy.

The midday sun penetrated this emerald green barrier, sprinkled down, and turned into mottled light and shadows on the ground.

As you walk along the winding path, the bamboos on both sides are no longer the common varieties seen outside. They vary in thickness and shape.

It is also unlike the ordinary varieties out there, with extremely large differences in thickness.

Some are so incredibly thick that their diameters can even rival the trunks of century-old trees.

Bamboo poles of varying thicknesses are arranged in rows, forming a natural screen from a distance, as if something unknown is hidden behind...

Although the sun was scorching outside, walking along the path, one felt a chill and quietness that penetrated one's bones.

Under normal circumstances, it would be pleasant and comfortable to find such a place.

But the expression on Li Jin'er's face became more and more tense.

Even if the rustling sound of bamboo leaves in the breeze was a little louder, she would stop abruptly and listen carefully.

As if to tease her, whenever she looked around nervously, the tiny strange noises would automatically disappear.

It was as if everything was just her rough feeling.

But when I quickened my pace, even running forward, trying to get rid of those strange sounds.

Those strange sounds suddenly reappeared like ghosts, making the fear in her heart infinitely magnified and her heart beat like thunder.

No matter how hard she tried to find the source of the sound, it was in vain. Those strange creatures seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with her and hid without a trace.

After being frightened several times like this, she no longer dared to stay any longer.

I could only run towards the exit with my head down, with only one thought in my mind: to escape from this strange bamboo forest as soon as possible, because my senior sisters and the others were not far away!

suddenly!

A familiar and urgent call came!

"Sister! Sister, wait for me..."

The panting sound of chasing came from far behind, and Li Jiner was so familiar with the voice.

It belongs to her younger brother Li Fuyi!

Li Jin'er was already a frightened bird, and she had to rely on herself to give herself the courage to hurry on her way.

Now I don’t know whether I should continue running or stop and wait for Li Fuyi?

Recalling the teachings she had received, she calmed down.

No matter how loudly she was told to wait, she made no response.

He cautiously looked in the direction where the sound came from, and after making sure that Li Fuyi was not in sight, he quickly hid behind a thick old bamboo.

Cautiously, he stuck his head out and looked along the path in the direction he had come from.

Time passed minute by minute, and Li Jin'er waited patiently, but the path was still empty, with no one in sight.

While she was glad that she did not respond rashly, her heart was at its lowest point.

There is indeed something strange about this bamboo forest. It’s not just my illusion.

What was happening before her eyes was beyond her understanding, and she was not sure if she could get out.

Looking up, you can only see the sunlight shining through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, forming mottled spots of light, and you can't even tell the exact position of the sun.

She had been running in the bamboo forest for a long time, but the exit at the end of the trail was still so far away.

It seems like no matter how hard I run, I can't escape...

She looked towards the end of the trail again, took a few deep breaths, and decided to give it a try!

He quickly jumped out from behind the bamboo pole, rushed back to the path, and ran towards the exit with all his strength...

Perhaps her behavior angered something in the bamboo forest, and the originally quiet bamboo forest began to become restless.

Amidst the rustling of bamboo leaves, there began to be irregular cracking sounds, similar to thunder and the low growling and whimpering of animals...

There was also a knocking sound, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, appearing beside her like a shadow!

The frightened Li Jin'er could only shiver while running forward with the sword in hand.

The light from the exit in the distance suddenly disappeared, and the path under my feet extended endlessly into the depths of the bamboo forest.

"Hahaha~ Stay..." A hoarse laugh faintly came from the depths of the bamboo forest, and the entire bamboo forest suddenly became dark.

It was as if night had fallen, and the mottled sunlight that had just appeared disappeared without a trace, leaving only the torch in Li Jiner's hand.

"Who! Get out here!" Li Jin'er waved the sword in her hand, breaking the silent air around her.

Bang bang!

In the back!!

She turned quickly, but the torch only reached a dark bamboo forest and a deserted path...

Bang Bang Bang!

Behind again!

Turning around again, I still found nothing.

Li Jin'er, who was quick-witted, suddenly remembered the spell to dispel illusions that she had learned in the morning class.

At this point, she decided to give it a try.

"Taixu manifests... reflects the origin... illusion... cut it off with my sword!" With a loud shout, she swung the sword in front of her.

She had thought it would be a futile attempt, or perhaps it would shake the illusion a little.

But he didn't expect that when the sword had just chopped halfway, it was like hitting metal or stone.

Wherever the sword went, there was a crisp "clang" sound, and tiny sparks flew out.

“Ho ho ho… Now that you’ve discovered me, just stay!”

Just then, a strange and bizarre laugh came from the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, the ground began to shake with the rumbling sound of footsteps.

boom!

boom! boom!

There was a huge thing approaching her in the darkness!

A hideous ghost face grew on a charred and thick bamboo pole, and he pounced on Li Jin'er who was shrouded in fog with a grim smile.

The bamboo whip hidden underground broke out of the ground first, tied Li Jiner tightly, and pulled her into the soil.

She swung her sword desperately at the ground, but to no avail.

He could only allow himself to be dragged into the ground by the powerful force. Soon, everything below his knees was sunk into the soil.

The Ten Thousand Year Bamboo Ghost finally appeared before her...

"Ah!!..." With a shrill cry, Li Jiner's warning rune was activated.

A pure white light burst out from the bamboo forest, carrying the unconscious Li Jin'er out of the entrance of the illusion.

The thousand-year-old bamboo ghost in the bamboo forest roared angrily until Li Jiner's breath disappeared from the illusion, and then it calmed down again.
