Xia Kekang asked a few more questions, but Granny Hu didn't know whether she was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, so she kept saying the same thing over and over again.
"Guest, would you like to pick a melon?"
…
As time gradually passed, Xu Luo became more and more frightened.
There was so much noise here, but the old man with a hunchback still waved his long knife up and down, tirelessly chopping the wood in front of him.
What horrified Xu Luo was that every time Granny Hu finished speaking, the speed at which the hatchet in the old man's hand seemed to speed up.
Maybe Xu Luo's spiritual senses were too sharp. Every time the hunchbacked old man swung his knife, he always felt a slight chill on his neck.
This old man is probably more terrifying than the old woman in front of him!
Xia Kekang carefully instructed the soldiers not to touch anything and try to walk forward along the dirt road.
But as soon as everyone steps out, they always end up back to where they were inexplicably.
But Old Woman Hu was still asking questions in a leisurely manner.
"Guest, would you like to pick a melon?"
The smile on her face has not changed at all from the beginning to the end, just like it is stuck on her old face.
The hoarse voice was filled with coldness, as if it sounded from the deepest part of people's hearts, making people want to just nod and agree.
Fortunately, Xu Luo dispersed the red light emitted by the E-shaped lantern to the maximum range, barely covering everyone.
But when he looked at the red candle, which was only a knuckle long, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
As soon as we entered this damn place, the red candle burned at least twice as fast. If it continued like this, it wouldn't last long.
He was not worried about himself. There was always a coolness in the sea of consciousness in his body, wrapping his mind around him and keeping him calm and rational.
But the soldiers in the Royal Military Division were already violent and had bloody hands. Now, the weak-minded ones soon showed their flaws.
When Old Woman Hu murmured again, the eyes of a soldier on Xu Luo's left quickly turned red.
His strong body was shaking violently uncontrollably, and he was about to lose control.
Xu Luo secretly screamed, and subconsciously pressed his shoulders with his hands.
But the next moment, the hunchbacked old man who had been silent from beginning to end suddenly turned towards him.
For a moment, Xu Luo felt an inexplicable chill all over his body. He was filled with resentment, misery, and the fierce and vast energy shrouded his head.
His whole body was like a frog being stared at by a python, his limbs were stiff and unable to move at all.
Cold sweat dripped down his forehead, but Xu Luo didn't even dare to blink.
The shadow of green bamboo appeared between the eyebrows, barely maintaining a trace of clarity.
After such a delay, the soldier beside him roared angrily.
"Two old immortals, pretending to be gods and ghosts..."
There was a soft chirping sound, the roaring in the ears suddenly stopped, and the soldier mysteriously disappeared from everyone's sight.
The energy that enveloped Xu Luo quickly dissipated, as if it had never appeared before.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Xu Luo clearly saw from the corner of his eye that when the old man with a hunchback slashed his sword, the round piece of wood spattered with blood.
Xu Luo's face was a little pale, and the others were also sweating profusely and their faces were ashen.
Apparently, everyone was hit by the attack the hunchbacked old man had just made, and they were all imprisoned and unable to move.
Old woman Hu's eyes seemed not to be very good, and she moved her wrinkled face towards the next person.
"Guest, would you like to pick a melon?"
After what happened just now, the soldier selected this time understood that he had no choice.
He subconsciously looked at the backbone of all the soldiers.
Xia Kekang's face was extremely ugly, and he felt as if the anger in his heart was about to burn him completely.
But when I think of the scene where I had no ability to resist, I can't help but feel a sense of despair and powerlessness in my heart.
Aware of his subordinate's pleading gaze, he closed his eyes in pain and nodded slightly.
At this time, Xu Luo felt happy, but also felt strange and confused.
He was obviously standing next to the soldier who had just died, but Old Woman Hu jumped over him and picked the soldier on the other side.
What's even weirder is that, except for Xu Luo, everyone turned a blind eye to this scene, as if no matter who Old Woman Hu chooses, it is natural.
"I choose this!"
The soldier swallowed, his voice slightly trembling, and pointed to the cucumber on the left.
The smile on Old Woman Hu's face became a little brighter, and she finally stopped repeating those words.
"Old man, after the customer has made his choice, just help him open it!"
The terror enveloped everyone again, and except for Xu Luo who was happy and prepared, no one could move.
There was still no change in the old man's movements, and he raised the hatchet in his hand.
The cold breath gently circled everyone's neck, as if they were picking something.
And the soldier who made the choice suddenly and mysteriously disappeared from the spot and appeared under the hatchet.
There was a popping sound, and the strong smell of blood filled the nostrils.
The soldier's head was like an exploding watermelon, neatly split in half from the center of his eyebrows, and then turned into a log divided into two halves, falling on the neatly stacked pile of firewood.
The corpse fell to the ground with a thud.
The next moment, there was the sound of rustling in the melon field, and countless melon vines were like green snakes, climbing up to the corpse one after another.
rustle……
There were strange sounds like spring silkworms eating mulberry leaves.
In just a few breaths, the body suddenly shriveled up like a water bag filled with countless small holes.
When the melon vines retracted back to the melon field, the place was completely empty, not even a single hair was left.
This bloody and cruel scene really shocked everyone.
Xia Kekang, who had just regained his freedom, was the first to roar.
"Let's go separately!"
It was only when the hunchbacked old man had just finished killing people that everyone could barely control their bodies.
In the hearts of the soldiers in the Imperial Guards, even if they were to fight the enemy openly and to the death, it would be better than having their heads cut off in such a frustrating way!
Old woman Hu didn't react at all to their actions.
But when the soldiers rushed into the distance along the dirt road, the scarecrows originally standing in the melon fields suddenly moved.
One by one, the scarecrows turned into old women, and they all looked this way.
The next moment, an old woman Hu appeared out of thin air next to every fleeing soldier, asking with the same smile.
"Guest, would you like to pick a melon?"
But this time there was no lantern with the word "E" to stop them. Almost all the soldiers were trembling and couldn't help but pick up the melons.
Xia Kekang glanced at Xu Luo in surprise, who also stayed where he was.
He originally planned to stay to attract the attention of Old Woman Hu, but why didn't Xu Luo run away?
Did he come up with some way to break the situation?
Xu Luo's thoughts were racing, ever since he experienced the strange prayer scene in red.
He has long understood that this ghost place must be equivalent to the realm of these two immortals.
If you don't find out the pattern, your group will be killed by others sooner or later!
Of course, if you are strong enough, you can kill these two immortals by force!
