Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Be careful!"

Ghost reminded.

Lin Yi nodded, not in a hurry to act, but carefully observed the surrounding environment.

This is a basin, surrounded by towering peaks, with clouds and mist hanging above, making it impossible to see the sky. Except for the entrance where Lin Yi came in, there seems to be no other way in and out.

In the middle of the basin, there is an irregular stone pool with a radius of tens of meters. There is a stone platform in the middle of the stone pool, which is obscured by a light mist and cannot be seen clearly inside.

The area around Shitan looked a bit damaged due to the battle, but it did not affect Shitan at all.

"Shitan is a brilliant protective formation. If you want to break this protective formation, it is impossible without extremely high attainments in the formation. The stone platform in the center of Shitan should be the node of the formation!"

The ghost thing is a bit uncertain.

"Senior Ghost, can you open this protective formation?"

Lin Yi still couldn't see through the details of Shitan's protective formation. If there was nothing the devil could do, he would have no choice but to attack by force.

"Let's do some research. The people who set up the protective formations are quite accomplished in formations. This has vaguely surpassed the scope of the ninth-level formations. It's amazing! It's so awesome!"

This is the first time the ghost has spoken like this. It is obvious that the person who arranged the protective formation is really awesome.

"I wonder if any of these corpses include the city lord who was responsible for the destruction of the city?"

While the ghost was studying the protective formation, Lin Yi turned his attention to the corpse.

"Go look for clues on these corpses."

After the ghost said casually, his consciousness fell on the Shitan protective formation and he concentrated on studying it.

Lin Yi was busy searching for clues on the corpse, but unfortunately there was nothing at all. It seemed that someone had already looted the corpse, and it was quite thorough.

There were no clues, and he could not determine the identity of the corpses. Lin Yi simply turned all the corpses into ashes on fire to prevent them from being exposed in the wilderness, which would make him upset when he looked at them.

The body melted quickly in the flames, but the next moment...

Countless buzzing sounds sounded in the flames, and a black shadow broke away from the flames and rushed towards Lin Yi.

"What the hell?"

Lin Yi was shocked. This change was so sudden, there was no warning at all! He had subconsciously transformed into a thunder arc and flew to the side.

"It's the Corpse Demon Bee! You're such a bad guy! You can run into dark monsters wherever you go. Are you two natural enemies?"

The ghost was about to explode with anger. He originally wanted to study the protective formation quietly, but his plan fell through.

"Is it another dark monster? How many dark monsters are there in this abandoned land?"

Lin Yi's heart was also broken. Who wants to encounter dark monsters wherever they go?

"The Corpse Demon Bees parasitize in corpses and absorb nutrients. They are not afraid of water and fire. They are difficult to damage with swords and are difficult to deal with! However, these Corpse Demon Bees are not yet adults, so they should not be too difficult to deal with."

The ghost said calmly, as if he knew every kind of dark monster very well.

"How to deal with it?"

Lin Yi continued to dodge, a little speechless. What's the best way to deal with it if it's not too difficult?

The Corpse Demon Bees in the sky had gathered into a black cloud, and they were quite powerful. Lin Yi was worried.

"When the Corpse Demon Bee is underage, its soul is quite weak! You use the Divine Vortex and cooperate with Thousand Blades Slash."

After the ghost finished speaking, he became a little serious: "If there are underage Corpse Demon Bees, there must be adult Corpse Demon Bees. You should pay attention to it, maybe there will be a bunch of them somewhere."

Lin Yi twitched the corner of his mouth. Is this a warning or a crow's mouth? But no matter what, let's get rid of these little zombie bees first.

Lin Yi threw several consciousness vortexes around the bees, and then controlled them to close in the middle, covering all the zombie bees.

Sure enough, as the ghost said, the resistance of the under-adult Corpse Demon Bee to the attack of divine consciousness is almost zero. The Corpse Demon Bee caught in the whirlpool of divine consciousness fell down with no resistance at all.

Lin Yi quickly launched another wolf fang wind blade with a thousand blades of wind cracking fangs. The unconscious bee swarm was completely crushed by the wind blade, and not a single one was intact when it landed on the ground.

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. This Corpse Demon Bee seemed to be the weakest among all the dark monsters Lin Yi encountered. Even the Sun-Eating Rat was much more powerful than it!

"Hmph, don't be too happy. These are immature Corpse Demon Bees. Adult Corpse Demon Bee swarms are not that easy to deal with. When they fly, they will resonate and vibrate, forming a layer of sonic defense that can resist gods. Knowledge attacks and physical attacks!"

The ghost sneered and poured a basin of cold water on it.

"So, you can't use the consciousness vortex to deal with the adult zombie demon swarm?"

Lin Yi felt a chill in his heart and restrained his contempt.

"That doesn't mean you can't. As long as your consciousness is strong enough, you can ignore the resonant sonic defense of the Corpse Demon Bee swarm! It's just that your current consciousness is still too weak. Even with my assistance, you still have to rely on the Corpse Demon Bees. The size of the group.”

As the ghost spoke, he scanned the surrounding area with his consciousness, feeling slightly relaxed because he did not find any other corpse demon swarms.

"The big Corpse Demon Bee didn't show up. It must be gone!"

Lin Yi looked around. Although he did not relax his vigilance, his mood became much more relaxed.

"The big Corpse Demon Bee didn't appear...Lin Yi, why do you think the Corpse Demon Bee didn't show up? With the habits of the Corpse Demon Bee, he shouldn't give up on his descendants casually."

Guidong felt something was wrong in his heart.

"Is that so? Why is that?"

Lin Yi was a little confused after hearing what the ghost said, "Forget it, no matter what it is, quickly open the protective formation and see if the formation node can leave the abandoned land."

"Wait! I seem to have thought of it! Open the protective formation? The point is to open the protective formation?!"

The ghost's voice suddenly rose in pitch, as if he had figured it out!

"Did the big zombie bees not come out on purpose, waiting for us to open the protective formation?"

Lin Yi was suddenly shocked. He and Gui Dong had a perfect tacit understanding. He knew the elegant meaning of the song and immediately thought of something.

"It's very possible! The dark monster has been trapped in the abandoned land for who knows how many years. It is impossible to storm the only entrance and exit, because even if it is captured, it will be useless. The initiative is in the hands of people outside, and there is no one outside. Let it go, no matter how strong you are, it’s all for nothing.”

The ghost said slowly.

"But, if that's true, how did the people here die? The purpose of their coming here is to study the opening of the passage. This is exactly what the dark monster wants, so they shouldn't be killed?"

Lin Yi shook his head, feeling a little strange again.

"Perhaps these people, like us, discovered the dark monster's conspiracy and were about to give up, so they were killed? To be honest, I even wonder now whether the dark monster deliberately released the news to attract everyone?"

The more the ghost thought about it, the more frightened he became. If all this was really the conspiracy of the dark monster, Lin Yi would be in danger now!
