Chapter 245 Do you know that vengeful ghost? [49]

The mountain was covered with lush trees, and since it was a cloudy day, the light in the forest was quite dim.

The village chief is the only one who hasn't moved out of the village; he still has to give Anlu and the others directions!

Xu Wei and Lin Daxue were also there; they were the ones assigned to pick up and drop off An Lu and the others.

Anlu held a very old compass in her hand, the needle in the middle of the compass spinning back and forth.

The village chief led them to a place and pointed ahead, saying, "This is where we found Ma Lao Er."

Ma Lao Er was the middle-aged man who was bitten to death by a zombie.

Anlu went over to check.

Ma Lao Er died the day before yesterday, and An Lu received the news last night.

It rained here last night, and there's practically no trace of it left.

However, the compass spun even more vigorously.

Anlu looked down at the compass and continued walking forward.

Suddenly, she turned around, her eyes sharp.

Achu turned around to look, but saw nothing. She asked Anlu, "Master, what are you looking at?"

An Lu frowned slightly: "I always feel like there's a pair of eyes watching us."

Ah Chu stared wide-eyed and asked, "Is it a zombie?"

Anlu shook her head: "No, it shouldn't be a zombie. My compass isn't responding."

"I think it's more like a ghost."

When A Chu heard An Lu say that she felt like a ghost was watching them, an unnatural expression flashed across her face.

If it's a ghost, then it must be Jiang Qi.

Last night, Achu agreed to let Jiang Qi follow them from afar.

Anlu noticed the unnaturalness on Achu's face and a hint of doubt flashed through her mind.

But she didn't think much of it.

As for Anlu, she simply assumed it was a wandering ghost in the forest.

They continued walking inside.

Anlu asked the village chief, "Are there any caves or anything like that in these mountains?"

The village chief nodded: "Yes, there are several!"

Anlu: "Then please have the village chief take us to see it."

"If I'm not mistaken, that zombie should be a green zombie. It's not afraid of people or livestock, but it's afraid of sunlight. So it comes out at night and will probably find a secluded, dark place to hide during the day."

The most suitable place is a cave.

The village chief led the way, taking Achu and the others to find the cave.

On the way, Achu asked Anlu seemingly casually, "Master, do you think that if there is a vengeful ghost that never indiscriminately kills innocent people, we don't need to catch it?"

An Lu didn't think much of it and replied, "We still need to arrest him. If he really didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately, then he shouldn't be punished in the underworld."

"However, the reason why a vengeful ghost becomes a vengeful ghost is because it had deep resentment in its heart when it died. Unless such a vengeful ghost is taken away by the ghost messengers immediately after death, it is difficult for it not to kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Achu looked at Anlu and frowned: "Do we really have to arrest her? Can't we just not arrest her?"

Anlu also looked at Achu and asked, "What? You know such a vengeful ghost?"

Achu waved her hands repeatedly: "No! I don't know him!"

But Anlu found Achu to be strange.

She wanted to ask something, but then she heard the village chief say, "We're here. There's a cave over there!"

As a result, Anlu's attention was diverted.

Achu and Anlu searched for caves in the mountains all afternoon, but they couldn't find the zombie.

Xu Wei and Lin Daxue became even more convinced that there could be no such thing as zombies.

As darkness fell, Achu and the others returned to the village.

Anlu guessed that the zombie would probably come out to hunt for food again at night, so she decided to use herself as bait.

Fuyuan Village was very quiet at night; there wasn't even a sound of dogs barking.

Anlu and Achu sat in the courtyard, looking up at the sky.

The sky, which was overcast during the day, was now clear with a bright moon and few stars.

Inside the house were the tense and frightened village chief, Xu Wei, and Lin Daxue.

At eight o'clock in the evening, there was still no sound.

Lin Daxue squatted by the window, looking outside, and said to Xu Wei beside him, "Master, do you think there really are zombies?"

Xu Wei lit a cigarette: "What the hell? Send those two girls back tomorrow, don't delay the investigation!"

Just as Lin Daxue was about to nod, he saw An Lu, who had been sitting in the courtyard, suddenly stand up and run outside.

Achu ran out with Anlu.

"Master!"

Xu Wei threw down his cigarette and hurried after him.

Lin Daxue followed closely behind.

The village chief hesitated for a moment, then followed.

His main concern was that he was afraid of being alone and thus suffering the consequences.

Anlu saw the compass move and clearly point in a direction, so she immediately chased after it.

As soon as An Lu entered the woods, a hairy humanoid creature roared and pounced on her.

Anlu reacted quickly and used the copper coin sword in her hand to block, causing the other hand to retract.

But Anlu could clearly feel the hardness of that hand.

She frowned slightly. She had misjudged; this was a hairy zombie, even more powerful than a green zombie!

Anlu didn't turn around, but told Achu, "Be careful and take good care of yourself!"

Achu responded, holding a copper coin sword in his left hand and a talisman in his right.

Anlu and Mao Jiang started fighting.

Since it was her first time dealing with zombies, Anlu was clearly not very adept at it.

Achu was a little worried that she might get hurt.

But Anlu is the female lead, so she should be fine... right?

Achu was thinking about how to help Anlu.

Xu Wei and his group had caught up from behind. In the darkness, they could vaguely see An Lu fighting with a burly, hairy humanoid figure.

Xu Wei and Lin Daxue instinctively wanted to help, but were stopped by A Chu.

"Those are zombies! You'll only be a hindrance to Master if you go there!"

Xu Wei and Lin Da couldn't keep up with the studies.

They could see that Anlu was indeed capable; at least she was very skilled in martial arts.

The talisman was thrown at the 'hairy man' and immediately caught fire, making a sizzling sound.

The 'hairy man' roared as if in pain, but it sounded more like a wild beast than a human roar.

Lin Daxue: "This...is really a zombie?!"

The village chief was so frightened that his legs went weak.

Just then, the zombie seemed to realize how difficult Anlu was to deal with, and he decided to change targets.

Then he saw Achu.

The zombie's blood-red eyes locked onto Achu. He moved with great agility, and Anlu was unable to stop him immediately.

The zombie flashed in front of Achu, its hand with sharp, bluish-black nails reaching for her.

Of course, Ah Chu didn't just stand there dumbly. Just as she was about to block, a figure appeared in front of her and pulled the zombie into the air.

It's Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi knew An Lu was unreliable!

He was incredibly glad he had insisted on coming with Achu, even if it meant risking exposure, he didn't care.

Seeing that Ah Chu was about to be injured by the zombie, Jiang Qi appeared without hesitation.

His murderous aura surged, and he only wanted to tear this zombie that intended to harm Achu to pieces!

Between a vengeful ghost and a hairy zombie, who has a better chance of winning?

Anlu didn't know; she had never heard of ghosts and zombies fighting each other.

An Lu was somewhat confused by this turn of events.

However, she first went to check on her apprentice: "Chaochao, are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Achu shook her head: "I'm fine."

She looked worriedly at Jiang Qi, who was fighting with the zombies.

"Master, we have to go help!"

Anlu looked at the vengeful ghost and suddenly remembered the question Achu had asked her that afternoon.

"Do you know that vengeful ghost?"
