The tall male corpse is very mysterious, with multiple vengeful spirits attached to it, extremely terrifying.

Yang Jian is actually quite entangled with this male corpse; the Ghost Shadow and Firewood Knife he controls were acquired from this tall male corpse, yet even so, this tall male corpse remains mysterious and frightening.

No one knows how long this male corpse has been wandering around Caesar Grand Hotel.

It’s only known that this corpse has always been in a state of advanced decay but has never completely rotted away or collapsed.

The supernatural power on its body keeps this corpse always active.

Therefore, the current male corpse is an extremely terrifying vengeful spirit, and its appearance now has undergone some changes, completely different from when Yang Jian saw it last time.

The deceased Wang Genquan is the best evidence.

“Is this decaying corpse now attracted by the firelight? Or is it here to deal with the out-of-control fire?” Yang Jian is watching from a distance, observing the tall male corpse walk toward the fire assuredly, mulling these thoughts.

“No matter, now is a time when less trouble is better than more. If it’s here to put out the fire, then I must continue to set fires, striving to make the blaze bigger.”

Yang Jian took a look around.

Three locations are currently on fire on the third floor.

One is where the fire previously raged out of control, and the other two spots are where Zhu Jian and Ah Nan’s corpses are.

The former blaze is already massive, while the latter two fire spots have just started burning but also show a tendency to escalate.

If this tall male corpse is truly here to put out fires, it wouldn’t be possible for it to extinguish all the blaze spots in a short time either.

Yang Jian did not hesitate at this moment.

He began using the burning Ghost Hand to ignite dead bodies in various corners.

Just to be safe, Yang Jian increased as many blaze points as possible to prevent any accidents from happening.

The process went smoothly.

In just a moment, there were seven or eight more blaze points on the third floor.

At this moment, the dim third floor became extraordinarily bright, a strong smell of burning permeated the air, and the firelight reflecting on Yang Jian’s skin made him feel a stinging pain.

“Li Yang, can you hear me? If you’re still alive, hurry out, or you’ll be burned to death here.” He shouted again, hoping Li Yang could hear him.

But his voice echoed several times here, yet no one responded to him.

Even though the fire had spread to this degree, there was still no sign of him.

“He must have encountered trouble; continuing to shout wouldn’t be effective, just have to wait.”

Yang Jian stopped shouting to avoid drawing any dangerous things over.

He then looked again at the distant tall male corpse.

The corpse, draped in Corpse Wrapping Cloth, stepped into the flames gradually, but then something bizarre occurred; the burning flames did not ignite this corpse, instead were affected, dissipating directly.

However, the extinguished flames were just a part of it; the surrounding burning area was too large, so although the flames near the corpse disappeared, the fires at a little distance continued burning.

“Sure enough, this corpse can limit the flames’ burning; thankfully, the fire is large now, even such a terrifying vengeful spirit can’t extinguish all the flames here.”

Upon seeing this scene, Yang Jian first felt tense, then slightly relaxed.

As long as the fire isn’t extinguished, it’s fine, otherwise, the situation would become a mess.

The tall male corpse continued to move forward.

Though the flames around the corpse were extinguished, as the male corpse advanced, the extinguished flame locations behind reignited again.

Gradually, the corpse delved deeper into the center of the inferno, eventually becoming completely engulfed, unseen anymore.

Even Yang Jian’s ghost eyes couldn’t see the scenario amidst the flames.

“What’s inside the flames? The furnace, the third-floor ghosts? So is this corpse headed for the furnace or aimed at the third-floor ghosts?” Seeing this scene, Yang Jian pondered another thought.

Luckily, the plan was quite successful.

With over ten blaze points now burning corpses simultaneously, the entire third floor was nearly becoming a sea of fire.

“Since the male corpse went into the flames, I can start searching for that door now.”

At this point, Yang Jian was mindful of everything within the fire sea; according to normal circumstances, the hidden door on the third floor would surely appear once these corpses were burned.

With luck, he could quickly find the door’s location.

But he also had to prepare for a timely retreat.

Yang Jian brought the unconscious Tong Qian to the vicinity of the elevator entrance; if he failed to find the door smoothly, he would have to take the elevator and temporarily leave the third floor.

His ghost eyes couldn’t look around now.

Under the reflection of flames, he felt a burning pain when opening his ghost eyes, although they wouldn’t go blind, the severe pain was unbearable.

Fortunately, now the light was very bright, with good visibility; he could see everything around clearly without a special need for ghost eyes.

While the corpses burned, their numbers were also continually decreasing.

The mountains of corpses began collapsing, quickly turning into charred dried corpses once burned, and if they continued burning, they’d be reduced to ashes, probably leaving nothing behind.

Under such eerie furnace burning, the things that can remain would probably only be ghosts and supernatural items, along with gold that supernatural cannot affect.

So Yang Jian was not worried about losing his spear here; as long as this place was burned by the furnace, any lost items would emerge.

“That door is crafted from gold, so its shape and size are unchangeable; the only possibility for the third-floor ghosts to hide such a door is to cover it with corpses, and the door has a height of two meters, completely concealing a two-meter-high door is quite difficult.”

“However, it can’t be ruled out that the door is laid flat.”

Yang Jian pondered this in his mind, attempting to use reasonable judgment to determine the door’s location.

He looked at the places where flames soared high, trying to find traces of the door there.

Sadly, the flames were too great; his eyes were painful from looking yet he saw nothing.

“Li Yang hasn’t appeared, is he struck down by ghosts among these piled corpses?” Yang Jian also searched for traces of Li Yang.

However, up to that point, Li Yang had not appeared; he had to suspect Li Yang might have encountered the third-floor ghosts and been killed.

He wasn’t an anomaly; being targeted and done in by the third-floor ghosts seemed quite likely.

“Wait for a while longer, if the door is not found nor Li Yang reappears, then I must retreat from here.” Yang Jian reached back, pressing the elevator behind him.

The sound of the elevator operating immediately came from the elevator shaft behind.

Once the elevator arrived, he’d promptly evacuate with Tong Qian.

The fire continued spreading; half of the third floor was now engulfed in flames.

The supernatural-burning furnace is dreadful yet perilous.

Through the blazing flames came all sorts of strange sounds, those sounds emitted by corpses, obviously corpses dead for some time, once burned by fire, cried out with shrill screams, but the screams were short-lived; once screamed, the corpses sank completely silent, no longer making any sound.

Some corpses even opened their eyes amidst the fire, woke up, and spoke such words as “I don’t want to die, help.”

Yang Jian knew that these corpses spoke because the supernatural balance was broken; some memory or consciousness of the deceased before death briefly revived, albeit shortly, but such behavior did not mean the corpses were alive; it’s just supernatural preserved a bit of their past.

Just like some Ghost Slave, clearly dead, yet still retaining memories from life.

A few minutes later.

Yang Jian’s position was getting hard to endure; the fire was so strong, his skin was baked red, intense pain flooding him, difficult to bear.

He had to pick up a dead body from the ground to shield himself, blocking the firelight.

The effect was significant.

The impact brought by the firelight had vanished, but the corpse in his hand was quickly emitting smoke and then burst into flames, soon burning as well.

“We can’t stay here any longer, we must leave immediately.”

This situation told Yang Jian that the third floor was no longer suitable for the living; even ghost tamers couldn’t stand their ground, and must evacuate.

But now the elevator didn’t arrive, Li Yang wasn’t found, and the door on the third floor couldn’t be seen.

Even if Yang Jian wanted to leave, he couldn’t.

Moreover, with the flames spreading, he couldn’t do anything but continue to wait.

“Wait a few more minutes. If nothing unexpected happens, I will have to leave here through Ghost Lake.”

Yang Jian took a deep breath and threw the burning corpse far away, then continued to lift another corpse to shield in front.

The corpse could block about ten seconds of roasting, reducing his pain, but after those seconds, the corpse would catch fire and had to be thrown far away.

Strangely, the corpses lying on the ground didn’t catch fire despite the roasting flames, only those particularly close to the flames were ignited.

As time ticked away.

The situation worsened.

The speed at which the fire was engulfing everything increased, Yang Jian’s prior method no longer worked because all the corpses on the third-floor ground turned crimson under the fierce roasting flames, none could escape.

In at most two minutes, everything here would be swallowed by flames, with no place to stand.

The elevator behind hadn’t arrived, causing Yang Jian’s heart to sink.

Tong Qian was still unconscious, though his condition should be fine since there was no sign of burn marks on his body, only blood continuously seeping from his nose.

It seemed Zhu Jian’s previous attack had affected him greatly.

Another thirty seconds passed.

The elevator still hadn’t arrived.

Yang Jian felt he could wait no longer; he couldn’t risk leaving in the last second, if anything unexpected happened, it would be disastrous.

“After another thirty seconds, I will leave.” He prepared himself mentally.

But at this moment.

Suddenly.

A corpse, not far from him, cooked to redness, stirred, revealing a hand from beneath it.

“Damn.” The revealed position exposed a deep hole, from which Li Yang’s voice emanated.

His face contorted in pain.

Because behind him, a cold corpse gripped his neck fiercely, pressing against his back.

Obviously, Li Yang was targeted by the ghost on the third floor.

But the corpse attacking him wasn’t the one that previously attacked Yang Jian, nor the one nailed by Coffin Nail.

Clearly, the fourth ghost appeared on the third floor.

Li Yang tried to crawl out from the multitude of corpses but found it difficult since the ghost held his neck tight, yet inside his body, the supernatural powers were resisting, allowing him to survive.

But he couldn’t waste time.

Li Yang knew the outside plans were still underway; if he couldn’t escape in time, he would surely be burned by the out-of-control fire on the third floor.

“Is it too late?”

Li Yang pushed the corpse aside, witnessing the inferno outside.

He felt a sharp sting just being illuminated by the firelight, like his whole body was igniting.

Under such conditions, it was impossible for anyone to stand.

“Not too late, I thought you were dead.” The next moment, Yang Jian’s voice appeared.

Then a charred, foul-smelling hand grabbed the corpse behind Li Yang.

With a slight exertion.

The corpse, along with the entangled Li Yang, was lifted up.

After leaving the ground, the corpse in Yang Jian’s hand quickly let go, fell silent, then turned crimson and flames were ignited.

Apparently, it was just an ordinary corpse, no longer a ghost.

Yang Jian paused momentarily, then pondered.

He seemed to understand how the ghost on the third floor existed.

“No time left, we must hurry and leave, everything here is burning, if we don’t go, we’ll be set alight too.” Yang Jian didn’t give Li Yang much chance to catch his breath, as they needed to escape now.

Li Yang’s neck was exposed, and his body distorted, clearly tortured by the ghost here.

“How is Tong Qian? Is he okay?” Li Yang struggled to stand, then asked.

“Temporarily okay, just attacked by a supernatural force, now unconscious.” Yang Jian turned back, checking, the elevator hadn’t arrived.

This supernatural elevator really failed at crucial times.

He estimated he couldn’t wait for its appearance.

Should he use Ghost Lake’s supernatural powers to leave?

Yang Jian needed to use Ghost Lake now, to connect the outside.

“Captain, I saw the door’s position when attacked by the ghost. Perhaps we can escape through it.” Suddenly, Li Yang conveyed crucial information.

“Where is the door?” Yang Jian immediately asked.

Li Yang straightened up in a direction behind him.

Fire raged there, already a sea of flames.

Yang Jian’s body was soaked, water kept dripping, yet he squinted and looked toward that direction.

But saw nothing.

“There’s nothing.”

Yang Jian wasn’t blind; he looked all around, if there was a door, he would have seen it long ago, not waited until now.

“Just in that direction, I’m sure, I touched the door and left traces, I can feel it.” Li Yang affirmed confidently.

“Finding it now doesn’t help much, we can’t afford to charge into the sea of flames…” Yang Jian shook his head, deciding to leave using Ghost Lake.

But at this moment.

A figure appeared in the flames, no, it wasn’t human, but a tall male corpse.

As the male corpse walked closer, the surrounding flames extinguished.

And as the flames vanished, the shriveled corpse, a golden door stood straight there.

It was the only door to the outside, finally revealed.

Hmm?

But such a situation made Yang Jian’s eyelid twitch.

Because beside the door, that tall male corpse remained still, seemingly watching him.
