The headless creature's upper body was bare, revealing bulging muscles that exuded power.

You can tell he's a male ghost just by looking at his physique.

The neck and above were neatly cut off, with an extremely clean cut.

Xia Tianqiong found the location of the esophagus and stuffed in the gold ingots one by one.

They kept stuffing in more than seven hundred taels of silver, and tens of thousands of headless ghost clones had been summoned around them. Only then did things finally change.

The headless monster in the puddle twitched its arm, and the power of the rules that sealed it suddenly fluctuated violently.

With a loud splash, the puddle burst open, and the headless monster stood up.

"Human, thank you for helping me break the seal. I'll let you go this time as a token of my gratitude."

The headless monster has no mouth; its voice comes from its belly.

Seemingly in a hurry, he hurriedly uttered a sentence, and before Xia Tianqiong could reply, he suddenly leaped up, flew into the sky, and then disappeared.

As it disappeared, all the summoned clones also vanished.

Xia Tianqiong's face was splattered with mud, but he didn't care. He looked up at the headless ghost that disappeared into the air, lost in thought.

"Could the exit be in the sky? If another strange creature flies into the sky next time, can I grab it and take it out with me?"

This is where things get interesting.

In order to test his theory, Xia Tianqiong began to destroy the seals everywhere.

Liu Zhongjun, however, was out of luck.

In the warehouse, just over ten minutes after the zombie ghost left, a wisp of eerie light emerged from the sealed ghost chessboard.

It landed on the ground and transformed into a robust and tall headless monster.

"Has anyone seen my head? Please help me find it!"

These strange creatures, having been sealed away for so long, are now eager to be unleashed.

Liu Zhongjun's expression grew increasingly grim, but he didn't panic. He pointed to a man in black and said, "I've found your head. This is him."

"Young Master Liu, what are you doing? Don't get me into trouble!"

The man in black who was pointed at looked flustered and backed away repeatedly. He didn't understand the rules or what was going on, but he felt that Young Master Liu was trying to harm him.

The headless monster strode towards the man in black, saying, "So it was on you. Give it back to me now."

It said it would give it back to me, but it just grabbed it.

The large hand grabbed the man who was trying to run away, then twisted his head and pulled it off.

The other two men in black suddenly turned and ran. They finally realized that even if they weren't killed by the headless monster, they would be tricked to death by Liu Zhongjun later.

Liu Zhongjun didn't run away; he stood steadily to the side.

The headless monster held a bloody human head and placed it on its own neck.

The severed head still held the black-clad man's fear before his death, its appearance utterly tragic.

A strange scene unfolded when the human head touched the headless monster's neck.

Countless slender fleshy buds suddenly grew and established connections with the human head.

Before, it stared wide-eyed, looking like it had died with its eyes open. The next moment, its eyes moved, it regained its life, and it even spoke.

"This isn't my head. You've come to the wrong person, but you've still helped, so I'll let you off this time!"

After saying this to Liu Zhongjun, the headless ghost turned to look at the two people who had just run away, "They didn't help me, they deserve to die."

He then strode off and chased after them.

The two men in black had already run out of the warehouse, but before they could even leave the warehouse company's yard, they were caught up by the headless ghost.

The headless monster twisted off the two people's heads, ate their bodies, and finally strung the heads together with a rope and hung them on its waist.

This guy seems to have a hobby of collecting heads.

Inside the warehouse, Liu Zhongjun was racking his brains for a solution; things couldn't continue like this.

He deciphered most of the strange death rules of the seals, after all, they were sealed in one by one by the Liu family over a thousand years.

It is precisely because we understand that we realize how dangerous it is.

As Liu Zhongjun pondered this, two more strange things broke out of the seal in succession.

Fortunately, these two were relatively easy to solve, and he narrowly escaped with his life.

But what emerged after the seal was broken was the Hanged Ghost.

The moment Liu Zhongjun saw it, his whole body tensed up, and the shadow of death instantly gripped his mind.

The rules for death in the Hanging Ghost are very simple.

It will invite you to hang yourself, and if you refuse, it will hang you to death.

If you agree, then three identical ropes will appear out of thin air for you to choose from.

Each rope represents a different time of suspension: five minutes, ten minutes, and fifteen minutes.

A normal person will die from suffocation in four to six minutes, with five minutes being a critical point where death is possible or not. Even if death is not fatal, it will cause severe brain damage.

Even if you're extremely lucky and choose the rope that represents the shortest time, the probability of death is still very high.

This is a death rule that combines luck and the ability to hold your breath for as long as possible.

"Hey bro, come with me..."

The hanged ghost's voice was soft and weak, quite pleasant to hear.

It wanted to say, "How about hanging yourself with me?" But before it could finish speaking, Liu Zhongjun vanished in a flash.

This wasn't teleportation; rather, the physical body entered the chessboard space.

As the master of the Fenggui Chessboard, Liu Zhongjun can enter it with his consciousness, and naturally, he can also enter it with his physical body.

However, it is very dangerous to enter with one's physical body.

Under the rules, unless Xia Tianqiong is killed or sealed, his physical body cannot leave the chessboard space.

That's why, previously, it was always the consciousness that entered, and we didn't dare to let the physical body in easily.

But we have no choice but to come in now, otherwise we'll be hanged by the ghost.

Meanwhile, in a desert somewhere, Xia Tianqiong, led by an orange cat, is searching for the next strange occurrence.

Suddenly, the orange cat stopped and turned its head to look to its right.
