Crystal Appears, the Terrifying Paper Horse

At that moment, the three-story Paper Underworld Tower and all six paper soldiers and horses came "alive."

Even the closest of these paper effigies was ten meters away from us.

Yet the black ghostly aura emanating from them was so dense it seemed almost tangible.

The Nether Building behind Leng Bingshan began to twist, just like the paper Ghost Building in the woods earlier.

The entire paper building shuddered violently.

With a buzz, wisps of red mist spread out, casting the whole valley in a blood-red glow.

As the red mist appeared,

those terrifying negative emotions also began to rise within each of us.

Oppression, pain, sorrow, and despair kept spreading through our hearts.

It felt almost identical to the mental attack we had suffered in the Tube Building.

Along with that familiar red fluorescence,

it was a crystal—the mental energy effect of a red crystal.

The crystal here had to be the same as the one in the Tube Building: a red mental-type crystal.

It seemed this demonic Daoist had used the paper building as a vessel and mastered the ability to use crystals, something only spirit entities and ghosts could do...

That thought surfaced in my mind, and my expression grew increasingly grim.

The others noticed it as well and cried out in shock.

"Negative emotions!"

"A red crystal!"

"Damn it, this demonic Daoist can actually use crystal energy."

Everyone spoke at once.

But it was not over yet. As the paper building swayed, the firelight within its six windows grew brighter and brighter.

The chilling wind in the valley also grew stronger and stronger.

With whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, a gale began sweeping through...

Very soon, centered around the paper building, it formed a vortex of chilling wind around us.

It enveloped us, cutting off our retreat...
