The baby's wails were sharp and thin, giving people goosebumps.

Startled by the sound, I turned my head. But there was only darkness behind him, and nothing to be seen.

Seeing that I had turned my head, Snowy's face showed fear as she asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Snowy was confused. Did Snowy not hear the crying just now? The old Daoist Priest and Mister Leng also directly walked forward and did not pay any attention to me. Could it be that even they could not hear me?

I hastily asked Snowy, "Did you hear any strange noises just now?"

Xiao Bai looked at me and said, "You're crazy! What kind of strange sound would you make?" Then, he frowned and said, "Did you get confused by something again?"

Looking at Snowy's expression, it's true that I was the only one who heard her voice, could it be that I was really bewitched by something?

Seeing that I was in a daze, Xiao Xue pushed me and said, "Hurry up and leave. Don't be in a daze. If you don't, you'll have a problem."

I was also puzzled. The voice just now was very clear, as if it was right behind me. How could I have misheard it?

It was strange to say that the sound of crying did not come back to her after a while.

We walked along this road for more than an hour, but it seemed as if there was no exit.

I was already out of breath and my backpack was getting heavier and heavier, but every time I couldn't hold on anymore, there was a chill coming from the wound. Every time this cool air appeared, it was as if I had eaten a great tonic. The fatigue on my body was all swept away. If it wasn't for this coldness, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get up long ago.

I asked Snowy what this cool air was.

Xiao Xue casually told me that this was to help me get rid of the corpse poison's residual medicinal efficacy, and it wasn't harmful to me.

I kept feeling that Snowy didn't tell me the truth, but with the help of this cold air, my stamina has improved a lot. Maybe Snowy was right, I was just thinking too much?

While I was lost in my thoughts, the old Daoist before me waved his hand and said, "All of you, stop." He then asked, "Do you feel that something is wrong?"

Boss Leng asked, "Ninth Master, is the passage too long?"

The old Daoist said, "That's right. With our speed, we must have walked 30 miles in the past hour. However, we still haven't seen the end of this tunnel. There's something strange here."

As soon as the old Taoist finished his sentence, I heard the sound of a baby crying again, just like before. However, this time, the sound was louder and more urgent, as if he was in a hurry.

I jumped.

However, no one else seemed to have heard anything. Boss Leng was talking to the old Daoist, "Ninth Master, could it be that we've met a ghost wall?" I suddenly jumped up. Boss Leng was shocked by me. Without waiting for the old Daoist to reply, he snapped at me, "Brat, what are you doing?"

The old Daoist didn't understand and asked me, "What's wrong?"

I hastily told him about the laughter I had just heard. The old Daoist knitted his brows and said, "Is there such a thing?"

At this time, everyone had no more ideas and looked towards the old Daoist Priest. The old Daoist Priest muttered to himself for a while, then his nose suddenly twitched and said, "Do you smell it?" Everyone was puzzled. After sniffing carefully for a long time, they still could not smell anything other than their own sweat. However, one of Boss Leng's subordinates, Ah Da said, "Is the smell fishy?"

The old Daoist was overjoyed and said, "You smelled it too?"

Ah Da nodded and said, "That's right. I had experienced some things in the past and was quite sensitive to the smell. However, the smell here doesn't seem like human blood."

The old Daoist said, "That's right. This smell is indeed not the smell of human blood. It's the smell of the blood of this Man-Faced Snake!"

Everyone was puzzled. Boss Leng asked, "Ninth Master, what's so strange about this fishy smell?"

The old cultivator pondered a bit and said, "I suspect that we have been dragged into an illusion by the snake blood."

Everyone was shocked. Was this human faced snake blood even able to have such an effect?

Lin Ziqiang asked in confusion, "Master, I have also read this senior's letter, but there was no mention of the effect of the Man-Faced Snake's blood!"

The old Daoist nodded and said, "Indeed, but if you encounter any other unforeseen circumstances, it's not impossible."

Xiaoxue asked, "What kind of unforeseen event could have such an effect?"

The old Daoist shook his head and said, "I still can't confirm it. I'll try it out first."

With that, the old Daoist took out three extremely thick sticks of incense from his bag and lit them. He held them in his hand and began to chant.

Everyone held their breath as they stared. The fragrance in this old Daoist Priest's hand was extremely thick, but it was burning very quickly. The old Daoist Priest had only just finished speaking when half of the incense was already burned.

Strangely enough, the smoke from the incense kept coming in straight up, gathering at the top of the cave like a cloud. The incense stick burned shorter and shorter, but the smoke area above his head grew larger and larger.

I closely stared at the old Daoist, wanting to see what other tricks he would have to use.

As the incense burnt out, the smoke from the ceiling of the cave stopped expanding. When the old Daoist saw that the incense had burnt out, he made a spell with his left hand and waved his right hand towards the smoke in the air. The smoke actually began to slowly descend, wanting to cover us all!

If one were to look from afar, one would see a cloud rising.

The smoke stopped halfway and suddenly accelerated. Before I could react, I was enveloped by the smoke.

All of a sudden, I felt a stink in my face, mixed with a spicy taste in the middle. I choked and coughed non-stop, my stomach turning upside down, and I almost vomited. His eyes were filled with tears from the spiciness of the smoke.

The others weren't any better off than me. They all coughed continuously. Only the old Daoist Priest seemed to have been prepared. He stood still and looked around vigilantly, as if he was on guard against something.

This smoke is also strange, enveloping us in it and never dispersing. Everyone slowly got used to the smell. Boss Leng endured the nausea and asked, "Ninth Master, has the illusion been broken?"

The old Daoist nodded and said, "I guess so. Look at the ground."

Everyone nodded their heads. The Man-Faced Snake that was cut in half by the old Taoist was lying on the ground. We walked for an hour and it was actually circling around in the same place!

Boss Leng said with admiration, "Good move, Ninth Master. It is really the blood of this snake in the face of man." Then, he changed the topic and said, "I wonder if this smoke can dissipate?"

It seemed that Boss Leng could not stand the smoke anymore.

The old Daoist nodded and said, "It seems like my guess is correct. It was indeed made by the snake blood. However, we can't spread the smoke right now. We don't know if there's anything else besides the snake blood, so it's better to be safe."

Hearing the old Daoist say this, Boss Leng also felt that his life is more important. He suppressed his disgust and said: "Ninth Elder, what do we do now? Go on? "

The old Daoist said, "The illusion has been broken. It's useless to stay here. Let's continue moving forward, I really want to see what can cause the hallucinatory effects of this Man-Faced Snake's blood! "

With that, he walked forward. The smoke didn't dissipate and followed the old Daoist.

Everyone hurriedly followed him.

Although the smoke was able to cover everyone, it wasn't too big. Everyone squeezed together, afraid that the smoke would encounter an illusion again.

I was right next to Snowy. In the smoke, Snowy was frowning. I quietly asked Snowy, "What's this fragrance? Why does it smell so weird? "

Snowy frowned and said, "This is our Yin Yang Sect's special Awakened Soul Fragrance. It was originally meant to be used to call the Awakened Soul Corpses, I didn't think that Master could use it this way!"

Although Snowy frowned, she could still hear the worship of the old Daoist from her words.

When Lin Ziqiang heard what Xiao Xue said, he turned his head and said to me, "Master is one of the few Grandmasters of Yin-Yang magic in the world. Brat, to be able to see Master's skills is your life's fortune."

"Self-strengthening, speak less." Before I could open my mouth, the old Daoist interrupted me. Lin Ziqiang was stopped by the old Daoist and turned around with an embarrassed smile.

Mr. Leng also said with a smile, "Ninth Master, what I said is right. Why should you be angry?"

The old Daoist sighed and said, "This Seven Evils Three Yin Tomb is extremely strange. Who knows if we will all die here, so what's the use of saying all this?"

Upon hearing the old Daoist Priest's words, the hearts of everyone sank. The joy they had from breaking through the illusions had completely vanished.

Everyone silently walked forward. Suddenly, the old Daoist asked me, "Kid, can you still hear the infant's wails from before?"

I was startled by the old Daoist's sudden question and stammered, "N-no, I haven't heard anything from before."

The old Daoist nodded and said, "It seems like my guess is correct. This crying sound is also a part of the environment. It's because of this kid's unique physique that I was able to hear it."

I was a little puzzled and asked puzzledly, "What's so special about my physique?"

Just as the old Daoist was about to reply, that strange crying sound rang in my ears again. It became even sharper this time, as if it was ringing in my ears.

I immediately jumped up as everyone's expression changed drastically.

The old Daoist's face was ashen. "You just heard this voice?" It seemed like everyone had heard it this time. But why was I the only one who heard it?

I hastily nodded my head and said, "That's right, that's the voice. However, it's louder than the previous two voices!"

The old Daoist's expression greatly changed and he grabbed the collar. "This is already the third time?" Didn't you hear it once before? " Her face was fierce, as if she wanted to strangle me to death.

The old Taoist's hands were like iron pincers that clamped tightly around my collar, strangling me to the point where I couldn't breathe. I used all my strength to break his hand and said with difficulty, "The first time, I thought it was my illusion!"

Mr. Leng hastily pulled the old Daoist and said, "He's still useful. Don't really strangle him to death."

The old Daoist Priest bitterly let go. Seeing the old Daoist Priest lose his composure, Mister Leng knew that the situation was serious and hastily asked, "Ninth Master, what's so strange about the laughter?"

The old Daoist turned around and walked forward with an ashen face. His footsteps were unexpectedly more hurried than before. As he walked, he said, "This is the cold faced snake king's cry for three times to urge for death!" There was a hint of panic in his voice!
