Chu Tian struggled but found himself unable to break free from the suction.
Even the mist churning within his divine platform surged out of the divine platform's gate.
He gritted his teeth and directly controlled the divine platform's gate to slam shut.
Without the supply of divine soul power, his face instantly turned pale, and he stumbled, falling directly to the ground.
Ye Ling, who was beside him, quickly steadied him.
Although he was extremely weak due to the extraction of divine soul power from his body.
He had finally escaped the thing below.
Chu Tian looked at the cracking altar in terror.
Xu Duoduo also showed a fearful gaze.
Only she here felt that terror, because only she could see Chu Tian's soul power.
"What's wrong with Tian Ge?" Everyone crowded around.
Chu Tian remained silent. He closed his eyes now, intending to reopen the divine gate to replenish his soul power.
Although he had mastered the freedom to open and close the divine gate after coming out last time.
But at this moment, he had no divine soul power in his body and couldn't communicate with his divine platform.
He tried but had to give up. He opened his eyes and replied, "There's something below with a鬼头 (gui tou) marking on it.
It can absorb divine souls. It almost sucked me dry just now!"
After speaking, Chu Tian glanced at Zhao Lei and said with a cold gaze, "Lei Zi, dig it out!"
He was not one to suffer a loss. The altar was already broken, and no other problems had arisen.
So he decided to dig it out, check if there was any way to solve the鬼头 (gui tou) on Ye Ling.
If not, he would smash it to pieces! How dare it absorb him!
Chu Tian was furious and swore inwardly.
That feeling just now was as if his three souls and seven spirits were being pulled out of his body.
Chu Tian still felt nauseous intermittently, as if he were carsick.
Zhao Lei heard Chu Tian's command, opened his backpack, and took out a pair of rubber gloves.
As well as a small shovel, a small rake, and other items.
In the center of the altar, a circular area about a foot long had cracked into a spiderweb.
Zhao Lei used the small shovel to carefully remove the fragments.
When it was completely dug out, a circular leather item, only about ten centimeters in diameter, was exposed.
It wrapped the thing below, somewhat like the seal of a jar.
A ferocious black鬼头 (gui tou) was imprinted on it, exactly the same as the one on Ye Ling's back, only differing in color.
After hearing Chu Tian's words, everyone had prepared themselves mentally.
But when they truly saw it, they suddenly felt a strange sensation.
Especially when staring at the鬼头 (gui tou), it felt as if they were sinking into it.
"Don't stare at it!" Chu Tian suddenly shouted.
His divine soul power had been absorbed by this鬼头 (gui tou) just now.
Hearing his shout, everyone was startled and recovered from that state.
The moment they regained consciousness, cold sweat broke out on everyone's backs.
Recalling that moment, it was too terrifying. If Chu Tian hadn't shouted, they would have lost their minds.
Of course, Xu Duoduo was not among these people. She might have been afraid that her soul body would have problems after seeing Chu Tian's soul power being absorbed, so she didn't come to look.
Zhao Lei was also among them. When Chu Tian shouted, he was clearly startled and looked up at Chu Tian.
"Holy cow... Tian Ge, what are you doing? You scared me to death!"
As he said this, everyone looked at him.
"Why are you looking at me?" Zhao Lei was confused.
Gao Kai's forehead was covered in cold sweat, "Didn't you feel anything strange?"
"No!"
"Damn... could it be the effect of being a virgin again?" Jing Kaiyu muttered.
"Jing Kaiyu, if you bring this up again, we'll break up!"
"Alright, Lei Zi, take it out!" Chu Tian said, unable to suppress his laughter.
It seemed only Zhao Lei was unaffected here, so he might as well let him continue the work.
In a short while, Zhao Lei cleared a gap large enough for a hand to reach in.
He reached in and pulled with force, but it didn't move. He wiggled it back and forth, then looked up strangely and said,
"It's no use, it seems to be connected to something."
Zhao Lei lowered his head and continued to wiggle it.
"Ah..." Ye Ling suddenly screamed and knelt directly on the ground.
She reached for her own back.
"Lei Zi, let go quickly, don't move!" Chu Tian shouted.
As he shouted, he took a step to Ye Ling's back. He didn't care about anything else now.
He pulled open the collar of her back and looked inside.
A ferocious鬼头 (gui tou) was constantly wriggling and moving very quickly.
It had already reached the position of her back neck.
Zhao Lei let go of his hand. The鬼头 (gui tou) on Ye Ling's back neck wriggled a few more times, but did not continue to move upwards.
It slowly stopped there.
"What should we do? If it doesn't work, let's just dig it out!" Zhao Lei also walked over and said.
Chu Tian had considered this idea before. As he proposed it now, his expression was gloomy and uncertain, and he didn't speak.
Ye Ling shook her head and said, "It won't work! We've thought of this method long ago. We've examined it, which is why it's called the噬影鬼虫 (shi ying gui chong).
Because it truly has a physical body, and it's indeed a worm, but its entire body is connected to my spinal nerves.
Even with surgery, it's impossible to remove it without damaging the neurons.
Once it's removed, I'll be a vegetable at the very least. If it were discovered much earlier, this method might have been usable.
But these things only appear when they reach the lumbar spine, and before they appear, there are no symptoms, so no one would specifically check for them."
After she finished speaking, Chu Tian nodded. He wasn't so perverted as to use his divine sense to spy on women.
However, he had already expected this.
Otherwise, with the capabilities of the Ninth Division, why would they be helpless?
Now, the situation had developed, and it had reached a stalemate.
He had originally thought that he could find a way to solve the噬影鬼虫 (shi ying gui chong).
Unexpectedly, this movement had accelerated the movement speed of the噬影鬼虫 (shi ying gui chong).
While everyone was at a loss, the狸猫 (li mao) walked over.
"Aowuu..."
It attracted everyone's attention, then pointed in the direction Chu Tian and the others had come from.
Then, it walked towards there, took two steps, and looked back at everyone.
"You mean, we can go outside now?" Chu Tian asked.
The狸猫 (li mao) nodded and continued to walk outside.
There was no progress here. Since it wanted to lead them out, it meant there was no danger outside.
Perhaps, where it led them would lead to new discoveries.
At this moment, everyone could only place their hopes on this strange狸猫 (li mao).
The exit was on the mountain wall next to where Chu Tian and the others had entered.
They didn't need to smash their heads to get out, which put Zhao Lei's worried heart at ease.
He was truly afraid that Xu Duoduo would enter his body and control him to crash again.
When they came out, everyone was stunned.
They did not expect it to be the strange room at the entrance of the village.
Could it be that the many people who had hanged themselves from the beams here were also related to the things inside the mountain?
A thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
