Chapter 1027: Chapter 483 Our Commander Won Another Game Against Me!

Long Miaomiao was heavyset and short, with a low center of gravity, so the ghostly hands couldn’t push her over, but Fang Mingyuan wasn’t so fortunate. After staggering a few steps, he was pressed to the ground by a ghostly hand gripping his neck.

Bang!

The ghostly hand smashed Fang Mingyuan’s head hard against the ground.

Ah!

Fang Mingyuan screamed in pain, his right hand flailing behind him, trying to hit the assailant, but not even grazing a hair.

The ghostly hands sought lives, and death terrorized the soul!

Lin Baici swung his pipe wrench backward, but the ghostly hands were behind him, completely out of reach, so he grabbed at the ghostly hand on his neck and quickly activated Divine Grace.

Red Rolling Stone!

The Little Clay Man appeared, the Sling rotating, and the Flying Stones repeatedly struck.

Pop pop pop!

Fortunately, the ghostly hands weren’t very hard and shattered into a cloud of black mist.

Lin Baici broke free and immediately rushed to Fang Mingyuan, wielding the pipe wrench twice.

Bang! Bang!

The ghostly hand’s arm was hit hard and shattered entirely.

"Cough cough!"

Fang Mingyuan immediately regained his ability to breathe. He lay on the ground, gasping for air, feeling a sense of gratefulness for having narrowly escaped death.

"Get up, be on guard all around!"

As Lin Baici growled, he also smashed the ghostly hand behind Long Miaomiao’s neck and saved her.

"Oh! Oh!"

Fang Mingyuan hurriedly acknowledged, his eyes widening as he stared behind him, but aside from the slowly moving black mist, he could see nothing.

Lin Baici rubbed his neck.

That thing had gripped painfully!

What annoyed him even more was the thought, could going left be wrong as well?

No rush!

Stay calm!

Lin Baici took two deep breaths and took out the Bodhi Messenger’s Kasaya from his backpack, draping it over himself.

Because Pan Yunxiang had said that the first town was not dangerous, he had not considered arming himself fully, thinking that Climbing Boots and a pipe wrench would suffice, and he didn’t want to expose too many Taboo things and Divine Grace in front of so many outsiders.

But now it seemed that his judgment had been wrong.

The ghostly hands actually stretched out from behind, which was troubling; without help, the risk of death was too high.

And this situation also indicated that with the appearance of the dark fog, the intensity of the town’s rule pollution had increased.

"Old White, thank you just now!"

Fang Mingyuan was still shaken.

Rule pollution was terrifying; without Lin Baici, he and Long Miaomiao would have already died twice.

"Why be polite?"

Lin Baici smiled and said, "From now on, stick with me, and if you notice anything odd, speak up immediately!"

"Mm-hm!"

Fang Mingyuan nodded hurriedly.

"Big brother, you’re so amazing!"

Long Miaomiao admired.

The three of them walked back to the Apricot Yellow Flag.

’Those who go left shall die.’

The same four characters, no other changes.

Lin Baici thought for a moment, then continued to walk down the left alley, but this time, he walked backward.

"Old White, why don’t we try another direction?"

Fang Mingyuan was a bit panicked since they had just come that way and had almost been choked to death by ghostly hands stretching out from behind.

Seeing Lin Baici’s actions, Long Miaomiao’s eyes lit up: "Let’s go, since we’ve already tried going forward, we might as well try going backward!"

"Then... then be careful behind you!"

Fang Mingyuan, following Lin Baici’s lead, walked backward. Every second or two, he quickly looked back.

"Stop looking, those ghostly hands come out very fast and you won’t be able to stop them. Just wait for Big Brother to save us!"

Long Miaomiao thought Fang Mingyuan’s frequent looking back might break his neck.

"..."

Fang Mingyuan felt a bit undervalued, somewhat upset, and a bit disappointed, especially since Long Miaomiao was someone he had known first.

It wasn’t that he liked Little Fatty Sister; he just felt that Long Miaomiao should be closer to him and shouldn’t say things that made him feel awkward.

Ten minutes went by, and they finished walking down the alley.

"The ghostly hands didn’t appear!"

Fang Mingyuan was elated and then puzzled: "Why is that?"

"Because Big Brother found the way to break through!"

Long Miaomiao also heaved a sigh of relief: "These few minutes of walking were more tiring than climbing a mountain!"

They had no choice but to focus intently on the black mist; otherwise, they wouldn’t know when a ghostly hand would suddenly choke them.

"So... does that mean we’re safe now?"

Fang Mingyuan looked at Lin Baici.

"I don’t know, let’s try again!"

Lin Baici looked at the Apricot Yellow Flag on the wall, shimmering with a pale white light. The ’Those who go forward shall die’ inscription was like a signpost leading to Hell.

"Don’t leave my side!"

Lin Baici cautioned, then started forward, still walking backward.

Fang Mingyuan followed, trembling, and kept turning back.

"Aren’t you afraid that ghostly hands might suddenly appear from the left or right sides?"

Long Miaomiao reminded.

"Yes, yes!"

Fang Mingyuan nodded hastily and started turning his head from side to side as he walked, not daring to pause for a moment.

Lin Baici did not tell Fang Mingyuan that it was unnecessary to do so; letting him experience the terror of rule pollution might silence his aspirations of becoming a God Hunter.

Finally, the three of them reached another crossroad. On the left wall, there was a flag slanted with ’Those who go left shall die.’

"Keep going!"

Lin Baici continued moving forward backward.

As the distance grew, the Apricot Yellow Flag, amidst the roiling black mist, looked like a flickering ghost fire or perhaps a spirit summoning beacon.

They finished another alley.

The trio again came to a street corner, and this time, looking toward the wall-mounted Apricot Yellow Flag, Fang Mingyuan’s fear had greatly diminished.

Lin Baici looked down at his watch,
