Chapter 223 [Domain - Tuotuo Mountain] Hair as a Road
After experiencing the haunted house for the third time, Lao Yang still couldn't shake off his fear!
In the ghost wall... they don't confront the ghosts directly; what they feel more is a deep sense of powerlessness from the bottom of their hearts!
A hint of confusion flashed across Old Sun's face.
He didn't know how so many people could have suddenly disappeared.
Chen Ji could feel the tension in Lao Yang's body.
"We can't delay any longer!"
Old Yang said urgently in a low voice.
It's not just because of the children, but also because Xu Sandao might be in danger at this moment.
"Even ghosts can't get out... what do we do?"
Old Yang's voice gradually weakened.
Even Xiao Fei, who has become a ghost, cannot escape the cycle of being trapped in a ghost wall, let alone the three ordinary people!
Chen Ji seemed to have seen through his thoughts.
His tone was unexpectedly calm: "The Helmeted Demon isn't that strong."
"Liu Yunfeng came in the first time we encountered a ghost wall, which proves that ghost walls are not unsolvable."
As he spoke, he fiddled with something in his pocket.
“But Xiao Fei…” Old Yang hesitated.
"That's because Pan Yin still has a piece of scrap metal in his possession," Chen Ji explained simply, without elaborating further.
That night, Xiaofei was trapped, mainly because he was tricked by two ghosts at the same time, and now that I think about it...
Xiao Fei was more blinded by his own hatred, which clouded his judgment.
Old Yang looked around, but in the vast expanse of white snow, there was no sign of Xiao Fei or the other ghosts.
His heart sank.
Only ghosts can escape the ghost wall; humans here are like blind people.
I have no idea at all.
As Lao Yang was pondering, he suddenly froze, and both he and Lao Sun were pushed forward by Chen Ji.
"Stay here and don't come any closer."
Chen Ji said.
He looked around and roughly calculated the area where the three of them were trapped.
This can be determined from the footprints; the place where the footprints are cut off is one edge of the ghost wall.
"This is not quite the same as what happened with Xiaofei."
Chen Ji thought to himself that the reason Lao Yang was able to enter the area of the ghost wall that time was because the target of his action was Xiao Fei. It would be useless for humans to enter, and they would be killed by the enraged Xiao Fei.
This time, Chen Ji and his two companions, being the weaker party, were completely cut off from all contact with the outside world.
Of course... not necessarily.
He walked towards the edge, while Lao Yang and the other man had their backs to Chen Ji.
Suddenly, Chen Ji was teleported to a few meters in front of Lao Yang.
"The vertical distance is roughly this long."
Chen Ji nodded.
Since the area where we were trapped was covered in snow, and everything was a vast expanse of white, this was the only way to estimate the distance.
He then used this method to confirm the horizontal length, and after several more experiments, he realized that they were trapped in a circle.
Chen Ji began to slowly walk along the edge...
Soon, his foot suddenly lifted up!
Suddenly, a strand of hair appeared in the snow!
It was no more than a few centimeters away from Chen Ji's feet!
Chen Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
His left hand moved with lightning speed, immediately pulling out a small piece of moss-covered blue brick from his pocket and slapping it against the strands of hair on the ground!
The moment the blue brick touches a strand of hair—
It suddenly extended.
Click!
Then, the length rapidly increased, as if it was about to wrap around the entire hair!
It even goes beyond the defined boundaries of the "ghost wall" concept.
because.....
The strand of hair that just attacked Chen Ji originated outside the ghost wall, on the mouth of the little monkey doll.
"People can't get out, but they can go out with ghosts."
Chen Ji held onto the blue brick and stepped over the edge.
"All right."
He shouted something to Lao Yang, bringing the two still bewildered people out.
The extended blue brick shattered with a crash when it touched the little monkey's mouth.
Without Chen Ji as bait, the hair slowly shortened, and finally the little monkey pulled the other end back to its mouth.
Chen Ji glanced at his watch, his face expressionless.
It was no more than five minutes since they were initially trapped.
Since he actively sought out the Helmet Ghost, how could he not have made any preparations for being trapped in a ghost maze?
After being pulled into a ghost wall by the helmeted ghost last time, Chen Ji had been thinking about... how to break this trap?
Not every time can they be as lucky as the first time in summoning Liu Yunfeng.
We can only save ourselves.
He had two and a half strange objects in his hands: a pen, a small monkey, and a strand of the monkey's hair.
When the pen goes into hibernation mode, only the little monkey and the hair strands are useful.
Meanwhile, Chen Ji discovered...
As the number of deaths in the domain increased, a single strand of hair at the corner of the little monkey's mouth loosened slightly.
Although it is impossible to open [speech], one end can be removed.
It is known that hair strands are attracted when near humans and can extend a limited distance.
Therefore, Chen Ji came up with a method... that is, to use the little monkey as the "anchor point"!
The little monkey had already left and wasn't dragged into the ghost wall.
The "anchor point" is responsible for controlling the hair strands outside the edge of the ghost wall. When Chen Ji appears inside the edge, as long as the distance between the person and the monkey is close enough, the hair strands will automatically extend to Chen Ji's vicinity to achieve the purpose of parasitism.
With one end outside the circle and the other inside, and the blue bricks serving as a medium for protection and contact, they can follow the hair out and break free from the ghost wall!
Without much explanation, Chen Ji immediately looked at the ground.
Footprints were scattered on the snow not far away.
When they couldn't see, the helmeted ghost led the remaining miners past the group.
There were two small footprints, clearly indicating that the person had taken a few steps this way, but then was pulled back...
"Xiaoyu."
Chen Ji murmured.
The child probably didn't understand why his father and uncles were right there but couldn't save him.
Judging from the direction of the footprints, they were indeed heading down into the well!
"go!"
Chen Ji gave a low shout and led Lao Yang and the other two as they ran wildly toward the well entrance!
They had to do their best to stop the helmeted ghost to prevent it from taking the workers' children down into the mine.
No one knows whether any unexpected changes will occur once they enter the abandoned mining area and get closer to the "door".
"Uncle Yang."
Chen Ji quickly whispered to Lao Yang, "Go down through the entrance we came from."
That's the passage with the ladder; it only takes a few minutes to go down to the abandoned mine.
"If Lili and the others recover, bring them out directly."
Old Yang nodded hurriedly.
As Chen Ji watched Lao Yang leave, his thoughts were in turmoil.
If he's not mistaken.....
Once the first piece of scrap is removed, the Helmet Demon can be defeated, and Lili and the others can be restored.
Chen Ji also roughly deduced the method for removing the waste.
It means returning Sun Datao to his corpse state.
No longer needing to maintain its life, the waste will naturally fall off.
But the question is, how can we make Sun Datao realize that he is dead?
Facing the Helmet Ghost Head-on?
Or... should we fulfill Sun Datao's wish and rescue Daqiang?
Chen was in a very difficult position.
