Chapter 56 The Ghostly Fire Formation

Ten minutes later, Ma Jiao found Huang Xiangu's lair.

Huang Xiangu's lair is very hidden, located in a very inconspicuous ravine.

The ravine is surrounded by pine trees, and the ground is covered with thick pine leaves and pine cones, which are very soft when stepped on, like stepping on cotton.

The pine trees are all very low and small, and there are very few tall pine trees. You can tell at a glance that these pine trees are artificially planted, and they have not been planted for a long time, only more than ten years.

If a person wants to walk in the forest, he must bend down to walk in.

Qin Yan and others bent down and walked into the ravine, and soon they arrived at an open space according to the compass' instructions.

To the north of the clearing is a cave as tall as one person, with the entrance blocked with pine branches.

Isn't it too simple for this cave to be hidden? It can’t be fake!

Qin Yan thought to himself that he didn't think Huang Xiangu was so stupid.

Ma Jiao also had the same idea. She frowned and looked at the cave, wondering what she was thinking.

"Senior sister, your compass is not wrong, right?"

Ma Jiao shook her head: "This is our ancestor's star chess compass, there is no way it can go wrong! Qin Yan, go and remove the branches!"

Qin Yan nodded, and just as he was about to step forward and open the branches, Murong Xuehan blocked Qin Yan's path: "Master, let me do it!"

At the same time, Zhang Di scratched his head and said attentively: "Ma Jiao, I can also help you get it open!"

"Just you? Humph! You'd better stay outside! If this is a trap, your life will be lost!" Murong Xuehan said in a cold tone, turned around and floated to the entrance of the cave.

Hearing that it was so dangerous, Zhang Di didn't dare to mention what happened just now.

"Xuehan, be careful!" Qin Yan was a little worried about Murong Xuehan and warned him.

"Okay! Master!" Murong Xuehan turned her head, changed her indifference towards Zhang Di, and smiled charmingly.

This smile can captivate a country or a city.

After Murong Xuehan removed the branches, Qin Yan saw that there seemed to be something blocking the entrance of the cave.

"Xuehan? What's blocking the entrance of the cave?" Qin Yan said as he walked towards the entrance of the cave.

"Master! What's blocked here is Wang Hao's body!" Murong Xuehan sighed, turned around and said.

Hearing that it was Wang Hao's body, Qin Yan immediately stepped forward, lit a candle and looked inside.

Ma Jiao and others also walked up quickly and looked into the cave entrance.

Wang Hao was hooked by the back of his head and hung above the entrance of the cave. His face was ferocious, his eyes were empty, and the flesh on his face was gray-black and lifeless.

The breeze blew from outside the cave, and Wang Hao's body swayed involuntarily.

Qin Yan raised his eyebrows and asked with great confusion: "Strange, why is Wang Hao's body here?"

He remembered clearly that Wang Hao's body was sent to the morgue by the police last night, but why was it here now.

Ma Jiao said with some frustration: "Weasels are masters at digging holes. Wang Hao's body may have been stolen by Huang Xiangu's people!"

"It seems that Huang Xiangu knew we were coming here, so he placed Wang Hao's body here and told us that she had run away!"

As soon as Ma Jiao finished speaking, a line of small words flashed on Wang Hao's body: Qin Yan, Ma Jiao, I will come back!

Seeing this line of words, Qin Yan couldn't help but shudder in his heart for some reason.

"I'll go! The little weasel is so arrogant! When I catch her, I will skin her and beat her tendons!" Zhang Di shouted loudly, probably because Huang Xiangu and the others ran away.

Ma Jiao glanced at Zhang Di, shook her head and said speechlessly: "Huang Xiangu can hear what you just said!"

Before Zhang Di could say anything, Ma Jiao walked up to Wang Hao's body, took out a 30-centimeter jujube wood sword, and stabbed Wang Hao's stomach with the sword.

"Squeak!"

There was a strange sound in Wang Hao's stomach.

Qin Yan was extremely surprised and asked in confusion: "Senior sister, what's in Wang Hao's belly? It sounds like some small animal is screaming!"

Ma Jiao sighed and said, "Huang Xiangu's disciple and grandson! And he is her favorite grandson!"

It turns out that in order to mislead Qin Yan and others, Huang Xiangu deprived her grandson of his magic power, stuffed it into Wang Hao's stomach, and then used the soul transfer technique to turn her grandson into her substitute.

In this case, the person Ma Jiao found was her grandson, not herself.

At the same time, Huang Xiangu also had another purpose in doing this, to urge Wang Hao's dead soul to evolve into a ghost as soon as possible.

Qin Yan never expected that Huang Xiangu would leave her most beloved grandson here in order to escape for him.

"Junior brother, get Wang Hao down! Let's burn his body before he evolves into a ghost!" Ma Jiao ordered.

Before Qin Yan could say anything, Murong Xuehan floated in front of Wang Hao, picked off Wang Hao's body from the iron hook, and threw it on the branch outside the cave.

Looking at the piled branches, Qin Yan shrugged: "No wonder the weasel placed so many branches at the entrance of the cave. It turned out to be for us to burn the corpse!"

Qin Yan took out a lighter as he spoke.

"Captain Wang, thank you for your continued care. I hope you don't blame me!"

With a "bang" sound, Qin Yan lit the lighter and lit the branches under Wang Hao.

These branches seemed to have been poured with gasoline. They burst into flames and swallowed up Wang Hao's body in the blink of an eye.

Qin Yan, roasted by the blazing flames, couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom……"

At this moment, the pine forest around Qin Yan suddenly burst into flames, and it was spreading at an extremely fast speed.

"No! This is the ghostly fire formation! Run!" Ma Jiao was the first to see the clues and shouted immediately.

Before Qin Yan could react, Murong Xuehan and Zhou Xiaoyu each took Qin Yan by one arm and flew out of the pine forest.

"Hey, hey, hey! Wait for us!" Zhang Di jumped up and shouted loudly when he saw Qin Yan being taken flying.

"Go back and save them!" Qin Yan said to Murong Xuehan and Zhou Xiaoyu, while turning his head to look at Ma Jiao and Zhang Di in the open space.

Zhou Xiaoyu said: "Qin Yan! Let's send you outside the woods first and then come back to rescue them!"

Qin Yan stubbornly refused: "No! We have to go together! Go back quickly!"

Zhou Xiaoyu and Murong Xuehan looked at each other, and then brought Qin Yan to the open space just now.

Zhou Xiaoyu grabbed Ma Jiao with his left hand, and Murong Xuehan grabbed Zhang Di with his right hand, and immediately flew into the air, but the speed was much slower than before, and the height was also much lower.

During the flight, a dark wind suddenly blew around the pine forest.

Qin Yan and others were so blown away that they couldn't even open their eyes.

When the dark wind blew through the pine forest, the burning flames jumped more than ten feet high and immediately burned the soles of Qin Yan and others' feet.

"Damn it! This is not an ordinary ghostly fire array!" Ma Jiao couldn't help but curse.
