With a boom!
The talisman turned into a massive fireball, engulfing the vampire, and then…
"Ah!"
The vampire let out a scream, retreating continuously.
Talismans were effective!
To be honest, talismans definitely had a restraining effect on ghosts and monsters, but facing a vampire, Bai Ye wasn't entirely confident. It was a Western entity; he wasn't sure if the Dao Ancestors of China had any jurisdiction.
And the facts proved…
The Dao Ancestors were awesome!
Bai Ye immediately conjured another talisman, shook it, and then extended his hand forward, pressing it.
"Wind Curse!"
A sudden gust of wind arose from the ground!
A vortex formed at the vampire's feet, spinning continuously. The wind currents were like knives, and in an instant, the vampire's body was shredded. This time, the vampire's body couldn't reassemble. The scattered bats were continuously burned by the flames, quickly turning to ash.
After dispatching the vampire, Bai Ye picked up the Dragon's Roar again, then proceeded through the corridor and into a grand hall.
In a corner of the hall stood iron cages, resembling a prison.
This was a scene fitting the theme, where a group of monsters in prison uniforms would chase tourists, and at the same time…
Clang!
Bai Ye arrived at the iron cages and forcefully kicked over the barred door.
This was also where Dias had imprisoned the children in the past.
Bai Ye stepped over the toppled iron gate, pried open a charred wooden plank on the wall, and soon revealed a twisted, scorched iron door.
Bai Ye raised his foot again and kicked the iron door with all his might, blasting it open.
Upon entering, a prison cell appeared before Bai Ye's eyes.
Gloomy, damp, and reeking of decay.
Straw was spread on the floor, and iron chains and shackles were embedded in the surrounding walls. A charred skeleton was chained to the shackles in the center.
This was the remains of Rajan Dias. The enraged villagers had stormed in, beaten him half to death, and then shackled him in this cell, just as he had done to the children. They then set fire to the haunted house, burning Dias to death here.
Bai Ye took out a cigarette pack from his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it.
Next was to make Dias's vengeful spirit appear.
This actually required some clues. Based on the exploration within the haunted house, one would eventually conclude that fire was needed to summon Dias's vengeful spirit.
However, Bai Ye didn't need to go through that step. He knew how to make Dias's vengeful spirit appear.
Bai Ye took a drag of his cigarette and flicked the half-smoked butt away.
The half-smoked cigarette landed in front of the charred skeleton. Despite being just a spark, it caused the skeleton to ignite.
"Ah, ah…"
"Ah… ah…"
Piercing screams suddenly rang out.
"You cannot kill me, I will surely return."
"I curse you, I will curse you forever."
"I will not fall into hell, I will curse you until I return!"
Amidst the screams, furious curses followed. Then, flesh began to grow on the skeleton, but it was all burnt flesh, without skin, only twisted muscle fibers, looking extremely terrifying and horrifying.
Dias's vengeful spirit!
Soon, Dias opened his eyes and looked at Bai Ye.
"Who are you?"
Dias's voice was extremely unpleasant. His burnt vocal cords made his voice sound like he had a mouthful of aged phlegm stuck in his throat – rough, hoarse, and sharp, sending shivers down one's spine.
Then…
Bai Ye directly shoved the gun barrel into Dias's head.
"Who I am is not important," Bai Ye said. "You just need to know that I'm here to send you to hell, and that's enough, you pedophile!"
Bang!
The moment Bai Ye finished speaking, he pulled the trigger.
With a roar, five energy beams exploded, hitting Dias's head and sending him flying backward.
Bai Ye's immediate aggression caught Dias a bit off guard. He hadn't even finished his lines, and Bai Ye shot him?
This was not playing by the rules!
Therefore, Dias became enraged!
As expected of a powerful figure involved in the forbidden zone mission, after taking a shot from the Dragon's Roar, half of Dias's head was blown away, exposing bone beneath the rotten flesh. However, this level of damage was only a superficial wound for a vengeful spirit.
Bai Ye didn't waste any more words. He retreated to create distance.
Although the Dragon's Roar was a high-tier item obtained from the black gacha, Bai Ye knew it wouldn't be enough to obliterate Dias with a single shot. Moreover, while future technology items were indeed powerful, they had little effect on ghosts. Conversely, technological items actually experienced a certain degree of weakening when facing vengeful spirits in the spiritual world.
As Bai Ye pulled back, Dias let out a roar, then exerted force with his arm, tearing the iron chain from the wall. He then swung it forcefully forward, sweeping it towards Bai Ye.
"Hexagonal Prism Shield!"
Bai Ye immediately threw out the Hexagonal Prism Shield, and then…
It shattered!
The Hexagonal Prism Shield was unfortunate. For ordinary attacks, Bai Ye didn't need its defense, but for extraordinary attacks, the offense was also extraordinary, and the Hexagonal Prism Shield couldn't withstand it.
However, having blocked one strike before its demise, Bai Ye immediately pulled the trigger, and…
This time, Bai Ye went all out.
"Assault!"
No backing down, direct confrontation!
Bai Ye held down the trigger without letting go, and the Dragon's Roar truly transformed into a dragon, roaring furiously.
Bang, bang, bang…
Five energy beams per burst, with no pause, continuously fired forward, repeatedly hitting Dias's body.
The rapid succession of shots, with an incredibly high rate of fire, made the five beams appear almost continuous, with barely any gaps.
Dias was unable to block or dodge. His body was pinned against the wall by the energy beams. Even so, it continued to output its power relentlessly until the energy crystal's energy was depleted.
Then…
With a rumble!
The wall behind Dias, unable to bear the load, collapsed backward. Dias also fell through the wall.
At the same time, Bai Ye glanced at the Dragon's Roar. The barrel was glowing red and had entered a cooldown state, unable to fire anymore.
"I'm going to kill you!"
On the other side, Dias let out a roar and stood up again.
His appearance was beyond miserable. Most of the flesh on his body had been scattered by the energy beams, leaving only scraps of meat hanging on. One of his eyeballs had even fallen from its socket, dangling precariously. His skeletal frame was once again exposed.
Bai Ye sneered, casually tossed aside the Dragon's Roar, and pulled out a stack of talismans.
For dealing with ghosts in the spiritual realm, the Dragon's Roar was merely a finishing touch. The talismans obtained from Bagong Mountain were the true trump card!
