Chapter 9: Harnessing the Will-O-Wisp
Every ten steps in the passage there was a stone statue and a bronze lamp. After walking for a long time, there was still no end in sight. Just when Wei Jing began to consider whether he should go back and explore again after controlling the two evil spirits... changes finally appeared in front.

He first saw a pale green flame, and then he felt as if his own spiritual power was ignited and spread throughout his body. Even the yellow mud ghost that had shown signs of spiritual revival felt suppressed.

Although faint, it does exist.

When Wei Jing was surprised by what was happening before his eyes, the stuttering sound of the ghost-chasing bell rang in his ears. It was obvious that it was about to fail now. Even Wei Jing could hear that the sound of the ghost-chasing bell had become a little incomplete, as if it would be destroyed in the next moment.

Faced with the surging ghost fire, the ghost-exorcising bell could not be stopped. Wei Jing did not hesitate and directly took out the satellite phone and turned off the ghost-exorcising bell.

First, the sound of the ghost-chasing bell is obviously no match for the burning of the ghost fire, so continuing to use it would be a waste; second, the ghost fire can help him suppress the evil spirit in himself to a certain extent, so it does him no harm.

At this time, Wei Jing had already recognized the origin of the ghost fire. This was obviously the ghost fire in the ghost fire lantern, but how was the ghost fire released?
Could it be that after encountering danger, Li Jun released the will-o'-the-wisp and died together with the enemy? If so, then his trip was in vain.

Li Jun sacrificed himself, and he had no ability to take back the will-o'-the-wisp. Was he going to go back like this?
Of course Wei Jing would not retreat just like that. He endured the danger of being burned by the ghost fire and approached the center of the ghost fire. He saw two corpses burning in the ghost fire. Under the infection of the ghost fire, the flames of the bronze lamps on both sides also changed from orange-red to pale green.

Because the ghost fire was so fierce, Wei Jing didn't dare to get any closer. He could only see the clothes of the two men. One of them was wearing a green tights, a hood on his head, and a broken lantern in one hand. The pale green ghost fire burned fiercely on his body, but could not burn ordinary clothes.

Wei Jing recognized the outfit. It was Li Jun. Because the evil spirit he controlled had a huge impact on his appearance, Li Jun usually wrapped himself tightly.

The other man was wearing a black suit, a white shirt, and a dark red tie around his neck, looking like a successful man. The strange thing was that his left hand was as black as ink, and it reached into the broken lantern. It was obvious that the man in the suit broke the lantern.

The will-o'-the-wisp fire burned even more fiercely on his body. Just looking at the height of the flame, it was more than twice that on Li Jun's body.

Wei Jing couldn't recognize this person because he couldn't see his face clearly. The burning of the ghost fire had distorted the light. But he was dressed in a suit and was obviously an outsider.

"I wonder if this man in a suit came before or after the supernatural outbreak? Why did Li Jun fight with him?"

"If he came after the supernatural outbreak, then he is just joining in the fun and taking advantage of the situation. If he came before the outbreak, then he is the real culprit who released the Yellow Sand Ghost."

Unfortunately, Li Jun had died together with this man, and even the ghost fire lantern was damaged, so he had no way of knowing the truth.

When Wei Jing was feeling sorry for Li Jun and the will-o'-the-wisp lantern, he found that Li Jun's hand seemed to move, but because the will-o'-the-wisp distorted his vision, he couldn't be sure.

With the hope that something might happen, Wei Jing did not leave, but stood aside and observed the bodies of the two men.

"It moved...it moved again."

Wei Jing frowned as he looked at Li Jun's body lying on the ground. He just noticed that Li Jun moved his hand again. This time his movement was quite big, and even the lantern in his hand was dragged a bit.

He had never seen the scene before him, and he was not sure whether Li Jun was really dead.

However, Li Jun's body showed signs of recovery, which gave him a glimmer of hope.

The ghost fire has a great suppressive effect on supernatural powers, but the supernatural powers are immortal, and the power of the ghost fire on Li Jun is only one-third of the complete ghost fire. If Li Jun can control the ghost fire, he will naturally escape.

Thinking of this, Wei Jing took out his satellite phone and prepared to report the situation to the headquarters. Unexpectedly, there was no signal on the satellite phone here. He could only save the information in the phone first to avoid any accidents.

"I didn't expect the power of the will-o'-the-wisp is so strong. Just by being close to it, it suppresses the evil spirit in my body. If Li Jun can control the will-o'-the-wisp, he will definitely be the best expert in the headquarters."

After saving the information, Wei Jing had nothing to do. He was blocked by the ghost fire in front and could only leave backwards. He simply looked at Li Jun and began to think.

About an hour later, the will-o'-the-wisp fire on Li Jun's body began to decrease, and the pale green will-o'-the-wisp fire began to shrink into his body, as if Li Jun was really controlling the will-o'-the-wisp fire.

Wei Jing did not move closer, but took a few steps back, took out the golden pistol, and was tense and ready to mobilize the power of the evil spirit at any time.

The more critical the moment, the more you cannot relax. Under Wei Jing's gaze, the ghost fire burning on Li Jun's body completely disappeared, and Li Jun also moved. He got up from the ground and looked around.

Seeing this scene, Wei Jing felt relieved, because he knew that although evil ghosts could have human form, they would never make complex movements like humans.

"Wei Jing, why are you here?" Li Jun on the opposite side asked.

"You've been missing for more than three days, and the headquarters sent me to clean up your mess." Wei Jing retracted his pistol and was about to ask what happened here when Li Jun opposite him suddenly changed his expression.

"Hurry up and go," Li Jun instantly unfolded the ghost fire field to wrap Wei Jing, and turned into green light and fled towards the exit.

After Li Jun and others left, the ghost fire on the man in the suit began to become scarce, and the changes on the man in the suit were even faster. In less than a minute, the ghost fire completely disappeared, and then the man in the suit disappeared on the spot.

In the ghost fire domain, Li Jun had no time to explain to Wei Jing. He just focused on using the ghost domain to move over a large area. Because he had experience in using ghost fire lanterns, Li Jun quickly mastered the trick. With the blessing of the ghost domain, the two came to an underground cave full of strange rocks.

Just as the two left the cave and entered the yellow sand ghost domain, the ghost domain formed by the ghost fire suddenly shattered, and a man in a suit appeared in front of the two, and his dark left hand stretched straight towards Li Jun.

"Bang bang bang, bang bang bang!"

Continuous gunshots! Wei Jing quickly emptied the magazine. The man in the suit was shot through the body, and his dark left hand was also hit and paused for a moment.

"Use the ghost domain quickly, my ghost fire ghost domain has been restrained." Li Jun shouted to Wei Jing while taking out the golden pistol and emptying the magazine towards the man in the suit.

After being continuously attacked by golden bullets, green ghost fire began to burn on the man in the suit.

The ghostland unfolds...

Endless ghost fires attacked the two men. The two evil ghosts in Li Jun's body were suppressed at the same time. The ghost fire was suppressed by a more powerful ghost fire, and the already dead ghost wood was also restrained by the ghost fire. At this time, he could not make an effective counterattack at all.

The man in the suit attacked again, and he could only hold the broken lantern in front of his chest to resist the dark ghost hand.

Just when Li Jun thought he was going to die here, a dirt road appeared under his feet. The surrounding environment changed, and he came to the yellow sand world on the ground from the originally gloomy and terrifying underground cave.

"Saved!" Li Jun exclaimed.

"Not yet." Wei Jing looked at the endless number of stupid ghost slaves in front of him and smiled bitterly.

Seeing the two people appear, the stupid ghost slaves began to rush over densely, just like the zombies attacking the city in the movie.

Wei Jing had tried his best just now. In order to break free from the ghost restraints of the man in the suit, he turned on the ghost-exorcising bell. In order to send the two out of the underground cave, he desperately used the power of the evil spirit.

He is now like a clay sculpture, with yellow mud constantly squeezing out from the cracks in his skin. He is afraid that the evil spirit will soon revive.

"It's okay, I'm here." Li Jun used the power of the will-o'-the-wisp again...

The ghostland unfolds——

Without the suppression of the man in the suit, the will-o'-the-wisp field appeared smoothly, and the surrounding world was isolated. The stupid ghost slaves close to the will-o'-the-wisp were like dominoes that were pushed down and kept dissipating.

Seeing this scene, Li Jun smiled and prepared to leave here first, but he soon found something wrong. The Yellow Sand Ghost Domain was like a piece of taffy, sticking to his ghost fire domain and preventing him from leaving.

Although the stupid ghost slaves are constantly dissipating, more stupid ghost slaves are constantly forming behind them. If things continue to develop in this way, they will die here sooner or later.

"Let me do it. I can open the ghost realm again." Wei Jing said. His body had begun to be occupied by evil spirits. The skin all over his body was cracked, revealing yellow mud. Only broken human skin was left on his body. He looked extremely terrifying.

"No need," Li Jun looked at Wei Jing seriously and said, "I have another way."

Li Jun used the ghost fire again, and used the power of the ghost domain to sprinkle them on the entire yellow sand ghost domain. The ghost fire can burn the supernatural. The stronger the supernatural, the more intense the burning of the ghost fire.

Now the evil ghosts in the yellow sand ghost domain have gathered the ghost slaves to the ghost fire area, which is just the right time for Li Jun to catch them all in one fell swoop. Under Li Jun's arson, the ghost slaves made up of yellow sand are simply vulnerable to the ghost fire.

Maybe the will-o'-the-wisp fire cannot deal with powerful evil ghosts, but for these ghost slaves who are just infected with supernatural powers, it is a dimensionality reduction attack.

Soon, the ghost fire began to burn in this ghost area made of yellow sand. It seemed very unreasonable, but this was the supernatural world. The ghost fire only burned the supernatural. No matter what the environment was, as long as there was supernatural power, it could burn.

The violent burning of the ghost fire caused the yellow sand ghost domain to begin to distort, and the restraints on the ghost fire ghost domain became intermittent. Taking advantage of this moment, Li Jun controlled the ghost domain to escape from the yellow sand.

The strange thing is that the evil ghost at the source of the Yellow Sand Ghost Domain never appeared, which allowed Li Jun to escape safely.

Not long after Li Jun and others escaped, the ghost slaves in the yellow sand ghost domain began to disappear, and the ghost fires were inexplicably extinguished. The place returned to its original appearance, with deathly silence and no life.

……

"I didn't expect that you, Professor Wang, have such a method."

Cao Yang stood aside, looking at the robot dog made of pure metal on the table in amazement. Powered by a spring, it was moving forward step by step. Although it was a bit clumsy, it only took Wang Xiaoming more than an hour to make it. It was incredible.

"It's just a toy. You can make it if you remember how to assemble all the parts."

Wang Xiaoming looked at the metal puppy and replied calmly, this was an idea that came to him when he was reading a book. He wanted to use the knowledge he had mastered and the talent granted by the potion to see if he could create something.

The result was obvious, he created a puppy toy that could walk slowly.

Just when Wang Xiaoming was thinking about where else he could improve, Cao Yang's cell phone suddenly rang. After answering the call, Cao Yang's face looked a little heavy.

"Wei Jing is back, but the situation is a little bad."
