It was cold in the well. Everyone was still immersed in the well water. A gust of gloomy wind blew by, and they couldn't help shivering.
Yu Nian stood up and cast a cleansing spell. Everyone felt a warm current spreading through their bodies, and their soaked clothes instantly became clean and dry.
The fire talisman slowly rose into the air. Only then did everyone finally get a clear view of the surroundings, and they couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.
Sure enough, there was a low cave on the well - wall that led directly to the outside. Countless strands of long hair like waterweeds were attached to the cave entrance. Half of the hair strands were exposed to the air, while the other half extended and were buried underwater.
Each strand of hair seemed to have its own consciousness, writhing randomly in all directions without a visible source.
Yu Nian knew that the female ghost was hiding behind the low cave, but she didn't act immediately.
The female ghost couldn't defeat her, but it was very good at running away. It had lived in this ancient tomb for more than two thousand years, so it was naturally more familiar with the structure of the tomb than everyone else.
Yu Nian didn't want to tip off the enemy. She just slightly hooked her finger, and several red silk threads flew out from her wrist.
The red threads Yu Nian threw out were made of some unknown material. They were like swimming little snakes, extremely ethereal and agile. They floated lightly to the well - wall and then suddenly twined into a strong red rope. Like a dexterous hand, it grabbed the female ghost's hair and dragged her out of the low cave.
At the same time, Yu Nian whispered to the others, "Hold your breath."
Everyone was puzzled, but the next second they heard a deafening roar.
The moment the cave entrance was forcibly opened, the water waves rushed out like a suddenly erupted mudslide, surging violently. The water level instantly rose above everyone's heads.
Deng Yang's swear words were stuck in his throat. After gulping down several mouthfuls of the stinky well water, he swam to the side with all his might and desperately grabbed the stone strip on the well - wall to avoid being swept away by the water waves.
Yu Nian threw out several water - avoiding talismans in succession, and only then were they able to breathe freely underwater.
The underwater world was completely different from the outside. It was illusory and silent, and the resentment was so thick that it was like about - to - pour thick ink, dyeing the entire water area black.
The area in the well was not small, but at this moment it was extremely oppressive. Yu Nian looked up at the wellhead above and saw that the female ghost's thick hair covered the exit tightly like a dark cloud.
Yu Nian complained in her heart: This female ghost is not a ghost at all. She's clearly a hair spirit!
The female ghost's hair filled the entire bottom of the well, but there was still no sign of the female ghost herself.
Yu Nian wasn't in a hurry. She reached out and suddenly grabbed the hair around her into a bunch. She was extremely strong and pulled the hair towards herself bit by bit like in a tug - of - war, slowly looking for the location of the female ghost.
Suddenly, a swollen and pale ghost face rushed out from among the mass of black hair. It was the female ghost!
The female ghost was back in her home territory and was extremely arrogant.
She was certain that Yu Nian couldn't use talismans underwater. After showing a very creepy smile, she said gloomily, "You little girl! Who do you think you are to try to catch me?!"
After saying that, she suddenly opened her blood - red mouth wide and rushed at Yu Nian menacingly.
Yu Nian calmly dodged and then quickly made a spell gesture. A golden light seal shot straight at the female ghost.
It was so fast that the female ghost had no way to dodge. She let out a shrill ghost howl in pain!
The female ghost stared at Yu Nian ferociously and roared, "Who the hell are you?"
Yu Nian calmly opened her eyes underwater, and the words she said almost angered the female ghost to death again.
"None of your business."
The female ghost was completely enraged. She mobilized the evil and resentful qi around her and transformed it into thousands of blood - oozing ghost faces, which rushed towards everyone overwhelmingly.
When had Deng Yang and the others ever seen such a scene? They were so frightened that they were in a daze and forgot to run.
A sharp pain came. Deng Yang panicked and looked down. He saw a ghost face biting tightly on his calf. Blood instantly spurted out and spread in the well water.
Those ghost faces became even more excited after smelling the blood. They trembled crazily and surrounded Deng Yang.
Deng Yang was extremely scared. He shouted at Yu Nian, "Master, save me!!"
The female ghost proudly squeezed out a few crazy laughs from her throat. "Scream all you want. She's already struggling to save herself. You're all going to die here! Become my nourishment!"
The next second, a very sweet smell suddenly came from the water. The ghost faces instantly stopped attacking Deng Yang and the others and looked for the source of the sweet smell like lost souls.
The female ghost's smile froze on her face. What was going on? Why were the ghost faces suddenly out of her control?
She suddenly looked in Yu Nian's direction and saw Yu Nian holding up her cut palm, attracting all the ghost faces.
The female ghost finally realized Yu Nian's purpose - she was luring the ghosts!
The ghost faces moved extremely fast underwater. A few of them almost hit Yu Nian's face in the blink of an eye.
Yu Nian's expression remained unchanged. She suddenly reached out and stabbed at the two blood - filled eye sockets of a ghost face. The ghost face let out a howl and fell to the bottom of the well as if it had lost its weight. Then she swung her fist and smashed the skulls of several other ghost faces in succession.
Another ghost face swam silently behind Yu Nian. Its sharp fangs greedily bit towards Yu Nian's shoulder, but it was kicked flying by Feng Chengyuan who quickly rushed over and smashed against the well - wall.
Feng Chengyuan tightly held Yu Nian's hand and unreservedly transmitted spiritual energy to her.
With Feng Chengyuan's spiritual energy input, Yu Nian's attacks were very fast. She flipped her wrist and suddenly punched out. Golden light shone brightly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
All the ghost faces, one after another, in circles, disappeared without a trace in an instant like illusory sand.
The female ghost's expression at this moment couldn't even be described as ugly. She stared at Yu Nian in panic and finally showed fear.
Yu Nian stared coldly at the female ghost. She didn't recite any incantations, but she could still freely control the red rope.
The red rope suddenly flew to the female ghost's side and whipped her again and again.
The silk thread was stained with cinnabar. Now that it was tied around the female ghost, it continuously emitted a hissing white smoke.
The female ghost was in pain and angry, extremely irritated.
She roared and tried to cut off the red rope, but unexpectedly, the red rope didn't dodge. Instead, it coiled around the female ghost's arm like a snake following a stick.
As Yu Nian changed her hand - seals, the red rope shone with a pure golden light and suddenly tightened. The female ghost was tightly wrapped like a zongzi, and her whole body was imprisoned. Her originally flailing long hair instantly went limp. The water level around them dropped in an instant, and the female ghost finally fell to the ground, constantly roaring and struggling.
Yu Nian quickly flashed in front of the female ghost and neatly placed a talisman on her forehead. The female ghost immediately fell silent and even stopped struggling. She just stared at everyone with her two blood - filled eye sockets without blinking.
