Chapter 57: The Ghoul (first update)
The little loach's two whiskers slowly hung down, and he was dejected after being criticized by his elder brother who stood on the moral high ground.
It felt like something was wrong, but with Little Loach's current IQ, he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Sun Changming made a loud noise, which stunned the second child. Before it could react, he hurried away with his hands behind his back.
Let’s go and fertilize the little gourds first. This is an important matter. Don’t slack off when checking in every day! Otherwise, where will my second brother live?
Look, how much I have shouldered for this family!
The little gourds are lying down, you take a dip every morning - you have been holding it in from home until here, can't you give your bladder a chance to rest?
Sun Changming reminded himself on the way that he could not use the tokens this time. It was very close to the ghost realm. Even if the ghost realm could not appear during the day, the true identity of the "Lord" might be discovered by the four Ten Thousand Soul Kings.
There will be no way to pretend anymore.
Traveling along the Mengjiang River, there are dangers everywhere. The wild beasts in the mountains and forests have been affected by the evil spirit and have become extremely fierce and powerful, including many first- and second-level monsters.
Sun Changming already has a general understanding of his current strength and tries not to provoke second-level monsters.
I thought about it on the way, then called the little loach back and escorted me along the river.
Little Loach:???
This is too much!
But I was lucky today. I dodged a few predators along the way and didn't encounter any powerful monsters.
When passing by the ghost domain, Sun Changming asked Little Loach to go back and cut off all possible clues.
Little Loach: When you call it, you will come, and when you wave it, you will go, right?
Sun Changming: "I am your eldest brother, the pillar of the family!"
The little loach walked away in dejection, full of resentment: He only knew how to bully his younger brother.
Sun Changming passed through the ghost domain. During the day, this place was just a deserted river bank. He didn't know where Ding Cailing and the others had gone, but they were somewhere nearby anyway, so he searched carefully.
About three miles away from the ghost realm, Sun Changming suddenly felt the sign in his spiritual acupoint on his right chest move slightly.
"Territory grabbers." Sun Changming sneered in his heart.
He is now standing at the foot of a small hillside. There are some boulders scattered on the hillside, with unknown vines climbing on them. There is a kind of tree with broad leaves growing around it. It is not high but very dense, blocking the sun and making the forest appear dark.
Somewhat eerie.
A hint of cold breath blew through the woods along with the mountain peaks.
Sun Changming seemed to be walking at a leisurely pace when he came to a boulder that was as tall as a person. With a sniper in his hand, he gently opened the curtain-like vines on the boulder, revealing a dark hole under the boulder that led directly to the ground.
call--
A huge yin energy rushed towards his face, and in an instant, hundreds of bat-like ghost figures rushed out of the cave entrance, and various miserable screams rang out in Sun Changming's ears.
If it were an ordinary person, at this moment, the blood in his body would freeze, his soul would fall into coma, and he could only let those ghosts pounce on him and eat his own flesh and blood.
But Su Changming just smiled slightly, and a clear clattering sound sounded, shaking away the screams of the ghosts around him. Huge chains rose into the air, dividing one into two, two into four, four into eight... dozens of chains whipped around, those
The ghost shadow couldn't withstand the blow of the chain, and immediately shattered into pieces, turning into traces of Yin Qi.
The chain that the little loach uses to honor his elder brother is countless times more sophisticated than the standard chain in the yamen! Not only can it lock people, but it can also restrain souls.
The ground around the cave suddenly surged like water, and even the boulder as tall as a person swayed.
That ghost is moving!
A glint flashed in Sun Changming's eyes: "Want to run?"
The chains merged into one with a clatter, and fell towards the ground. The moment they touched the ground, they blended in smoothly!
Earth Escape!
Chains also have many magical powers, and Earth Escape is just one of them.
Blah blah blah...
The chain in Sun Changming's hand continued to extend, drilling deeper and deeper into the ground. The moment the chain appeared, the ghost knew that it was no match and immediately burrowed into the ground to escape.
But no matter how it changes direction underground, how it attacks east and west, or how it uses illusions to blind its eyes, it can never escape the pursuit of the chain.
Snapped!
The chain suddenly stretched straight, and Sun Changming tightened his grip on it: "I got you!"
The ground with a radius of several hundred feet suddenly shook upwards, and the ghost tried its best to pull Sun Changming down. In the spiritual acupoint under Sun Changming's lower abdomen, the large seal rotated, and huge spiritual energy spurted out.
Steady as a mountain!
"Get up!" Sun Changming shouted loudly, and with great force, he pulled up the chain!
He alternated his hands rapidly. The ghost resisted for a while at first, but gradually became unable to resist. Sun Changming pulled faster and faster, and the ghost was quickly pulled out.
Boom...
The ground suddenly turned up, and a huge gray-black ghost rushed out from under the ground while being restrained by chains.
"Hiss—" the ghost roared and demonstrated to Sun Changming.
Sun Changming sneered and shook the chain in his hand. The ghost was immediately whipped dozens of times by the chain. Its fierce flames faded away, and with a scream, it lay on the ground.
Sun Changming looked intently, and saw that this was a ghost monster that seemed to have countless bodies spliced together. Each one was just a part, either a broken limb or a broken limb, a half-broken head, or bloody internal organs...
It’s as big as a three-story building!
Some of those components are real and some are illusory, or they are constantly changing between real and illusory. The body of this ghost will become translucent from time to time.
Sun Changming was shocked to find that a group of people were trapped inside the ghost's body.
More than a dozen people huddled together. One of them, a woman wearing a luxurious official uniform, held tightly in her hand a bone bead that exuded the brilliance of precious flames. This brilliance protected them and had not yet been completely refined by the ghost.
.
But the bone beads were already covered with cracks, and it was obvious that they wouldn't last long.
Sun Changming scolded: "Let the people out!"
The chains rattled and shook, beating the ghost. The ghost screamed in pain, as if begging for mercy, and then obediently split its body open, and Ding Cailing and others fell out with a loud thud.
The bone bead in her hand also shattered, and the brilliance scattered.
Danger after danger, if Sun Changming is too late, they will be refined and swallowed up and become part of this ghost.
"Ouch……"
Everyone in Chaotiansi groaned, and more than a dozen people dispersed. For a while, they were still confused about the situation.
When they looked back, they saw that the ghost was right next to them, and they were so frightened that they ran away on their hands and feet.
Ding Cailing saw Sun Changming, cupped her fists and bowed: "Thank you for saving my life."
Sun Changming took out his token and asked, "But Ding Baihu?"
Chapter completed!
