While following the old beggar, Jiang Yan suddenly found that the footsteps in front seemed a little different.

He was startled and stopped immediately, listening carefully to the movement in front.

"No, we seem to have lost... The footsteps are different from the old beggar's." Jiang Yan said in a low voice.

Ren Jing's face changed when she heard this. She calmed down and listened carefully. Sure enough, the footsteps not far away were not the footsteps of an old man at all. The sound was even more dull, as if a person was walking barefoot on the ground.

"Could it be... Is it a ghost who is leading us now?" Ren Jing suddenly had a bad premonition.

When she said the word "ghost", a cold wind blew, and the surroundings became darker. Not only that, if you stare at the darkness beside you for a long time, you can even see something like smoke and fog rolling in the darkness, which is extremely weird.

"This is a dream, and what we see is not necessarily true." Jiang Yan analyzed.

"You mean... we may be trapped by a fierce ghost and are in a hallucination?" Ren Jing has traveled in dreams for many years, so she can naturally understand what Jiang Yan means.

But if what Jiang Yan said is true, then their situation is very dangerous. After all, in dreams, being trapped is more terrifying than being killed directly.

"Maybe so, let's stand still for now." Jiang Yan didn't know the situation, but he believed in the power of the ghost bride.

With the ghost bride here, a mere fierce ghost can't trap them. If they are really trapped, he can only use the power of the ghost bride to force them out, although this may waste the power of the ghost bride.

Just when he had this idea, the dull footsteps in front suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, more footsteps suddenly appeared around, densely packed, like a tide, and the number was terrifying. And each footstep was different, and the sound was getting closer and closer to them.

"Something is coming towards us." Jiang Yan said vigilantly.

Ren Jing nervously looked around the darkness around her. Although it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything, she knew that there might be dozens of evil spirits approaching them in the darkness.

Jiang Yan was a little helpless when he saw this. He couldn't figure it out. The ghost brides were all here. Even if this darkness was not restricted by the ghost market, they couldn't trigger the killing rules of so many evil spirits.

Why did these evil spirits attack them...

However, now was not the time to think about these things. Although his strength in the dream was average, the ghost bride was not easy to bully.

So he quickly ordered:

"Ghost bride, dispel the darkness!"

As soon as the voice fell, the hideous blood light seemed to be smudged and gradually spread around. Almost in the blink of an eye, the surrounding ten meters was covered by blood light.

Those evil ghosts seemed to feel the horror of the ghost bride and fled in all directions. The footsteps sounded very hurried.

They fled so fast that the blood light couldn't reflect them.

"Have all those evil spirits been driven away..." Ren Jing nervously scanned the edge of the blood light, but did not find any human figures, and now none of the footsteps that were so numerous and terrifying could be heard.

Just then, a figure slowly stepped into the blood light, and the two immediately became alert.

But after seeing the figure clearly, they all looked helpless.

The old beggar was walking over with a slight tremor, looking at them with a puzzled face and said:

"Youngsters, why are you making such a fuss instead of walking properly!"

Hearing his words, Jiang Yan felt a little unhappy, but still told him about the footsteps just now.

After hearing this, the old beggar raised his eyebrows and stared, and couldn't help but look surprised:

"Hey, it's really strange, you may have been bewitched by a ghost. It's normal for ghosts to do evil in this wilderness without the constraints of the ghost market."

"Forget it, forget it, it's all your fault for not walking attentively, falling behind too much, even an old man like me can't keep up. Next, I will slow down a little, you should keep up."

After saying this, the old beggar turned and left, and his pace was really much slower than before.

Jiang Yan and Ren Jing looked at each other, and they both felt something was wrong in their hearts, but neither of them said it out loud.

The blood light of the ghost bride still enveloped the surroundings. It was indeed as the old beggar said. This area was really wilderness, with dead trees and strange rocks, a scene of killing, and there was not even a road on the grass.

At this moment, Jiang Yan suddenly glimpsed that there seemed to be a shadow hiding under a crooked tree at the edge of the blood light.

"Put away the blood light, don't disturb other evil spirits." Suddenly, the old beggar walking in front reminded him.

Jiang Yan didn't object after hearing this, after all, it was better to save the power of the ghost bride, so he asked the ghost bride to put away the blood light.This time, the two followed the old beggar one meter behind.

The ghost bride's body was emitting a faint blood light, and with this blood light, they could just see the old beggar's back clearly, so they were not afraid of losing him.

The rest of the journey was very smooth, and no accidents happened.

However, what made them uneasy was that the darkness around them became more and more dense and deadly, as if they had walked into an empty and dark valley.

Jiang Yan knew that the place in the dream was not an ordinary geographical terrain, and now they might be entering deeper into the dream.

I don't know how long I walked, but suddenly a little blood light appeared in front of me.

The blood light was like a scarlet eye, floating quietly in the darkness.

When I got closer, I found that this eye was actually a red lantern.

"Is this... a lantern in the ghost market?" Ren Jing was a little surprised.

The shape of the lantern in front of me was exactly the same as that in the ghost market, but it was not hung under the eaves, but under a crooked dead tree.

Below the lantern was a well made of bluestone.

This well was obviously very old. The bluestone bricks used had long been weathered and had no edges and corners. They were covered with cracks, as if they would break if they were squeezed. The moss on them had long dried up.

"Young man, we're here. This is the dry well I told you about." The old beggar walked to the dry well and said happily,

"Quick, quick, pour your glass of wine in and try it. You'll know I didn't cheat you!"

Jiang Yan frowned slightly. Although he still had some doubts in his heart, he still walked towards the dry well with his wine glass...
