This scene gave us goosebumps.

"Heaven and Earth, the Mysterious Origin, the Root of All Qi..." The three of us dared not slack off, our incantations quickening as we vigorously waved the yellow cloth covered in talismans, making it flutter loudly.

Standing at the Zhen position, I felt a slight tremor in the ground beneath my feet, as if the earth's veins were being stirred by this sinister entity.

I couldn't help but frown.

The lightning sword in my hand was still trembling, eager to be used.

"Keep quiet, Lightning Sword. It's not time for you to make your move yet."

I gave a low shout to myself.

"Master, it's been so long since we fought side by side, I'm getting a little too excited."

Lei Jijian responded.

After all, last time at the mass grave, it was held by Taoist Zhang Qingxiao, and I didn't use it much.

"Master, although you are nothing compared to Daoist Zhang Qingxiao, it feels more comfortable to be held by you than by him, I don't know why."

"Hehe, next time you only need to say the second half," I said with a forced smile, then looked at Old Han.

His expression was extremely solemn at this moment, perhaps because the horror of the ghost infant exceeded his expectations.

The copper bell in his right hand rang more and more rapidly, as if summoning a ghost, while in his left hand, a string of dark red jujube wood prayer beads appeared out of nowhere.

Each one was the size of a longan, which he quickly twirled between his fingertips.

These prayer beads are amazing! My eyes are practically popping out of my head.

Old Han muttered incantations in a low, rapid voice, which, mixed with our incantations and the sound of the copper bells, created a peculiar rhythm that countered the increasingly strong stench of decay and the invisible chill.

Suddenly, I heard a strange sound.

"Glug, glug glug..."

Inside the freezer drawer, the corpse's abdomen bulged and writhed even more violently, and thick, yellowish corpse oil gushed out like a fountain.

Instantly, a pool of yellow pus formed on the ground, and with my sharp eyes, I saw live maggots wriggling inside.

I want to turn my gaze away, out of sight, out of mind.

But there was something strange happening in that drawer.

The hand that had been extended earlier probed even deeper, and the other hand suddenly reached out as well. In this way, both hands grabbed the edge of Huang Tao's abdomen and tore it outwards with a sudden force.

With a "rip",

The sound, like a waterfall being torn apart, was particularly jarring in the deathly silent cold storage.

I was stunned. That wasn't a rag, but human skin. How could it make such a sound?

At the same time, something covered in a sticky yellow liquid slowly squeezed out from the crack.

It was about the size of a wildcat, but its shape vaguely resembled a human-shaped baby.

It only resembles a human in appearance; with its ferocious and terrifying face, I would not accept that it is human.

This thing has a bluish-purple skin tone, covered with twisted blood vessels.

His head appeared unusually large compared to his thin body.

The top of its head was completely bald, with only a few damp, sticky strands of baby hair!

What's most horrifying is his face; he has no eyelids, and his two pupils are a ghastly white, with no pupils at all! His mouth is split open, all the way to the back of his ears, revealing jagged, fine, sharp teeth.

If you get bitten by this thing, it'll probably be similar to being bitten by a shark, leaving you with dozens of gashes.

"Brother Yan, was this thing really a human baby when it was alive? It looks like an alien to me."

Luo Tianhe stammered, this thing really frightened him; he hadn't expected a human baby to be so terrifying.

"Ghost baby! How good do you think it can be?" I retorted irritably.

And this thing, perhaps because I was talking to Luo Tianhe about him, had its completely white eyes fixed on me, as if it were staring at me.

It gave me the creeps.

I pointed in Li Huai's direction: "Stop staring at me, look over there, that person is more suitable to be your new mother than me!"

The ghost infant actually looked at Li Huai in the direction I pointed, its resentful eyes turning greedy, as if it truly wanted Li Huai to be its new mother.

Li Huai, who had suffered an undeserved calamity, was on the verge of tears, muttering curses under his breath:

"Brother Yan, ptooey, Chen Yan, you're a beast!"

"Wait, does this thing still need a mother body? Hasn't it already come out?"

Zhang Qiang, standing to the side, was somewhat puzzled.

"Look at his belly, his internal organs aren't even covered up yet. He's definitely not fully developed. I guess he was premature because of our disturbance," I replied, shrugging.

It was precisely because I saw his abdomen that I tentatively pointed to Li Huai.

This is undoubtedly good news for us.

"Wow!"

We were talking when suddenly he opened his mouth wide and let out a piercing cry. The sound was nothing like a baby's cry; it was more like fingertips scraping against glass or a wild cat in heat at night. In short, it was as terrifying and eerie as could be!

"Stay put, close your ears and concentrate!"

The sudden attack of this thing almost made us take two steps back, but luckily Old Han shouted in time, and we managed to stay in place.

Even so, I still felt a sharp pain in my eardrums and my head was buzzing.

Standing in the distance, Luo Tianhe, who was closest to him, let out a muffled groan, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Qiang's face turned deathly pale, and he swayed.

Emotions? That's a physical attack!

This little bastard is only a newborn, yet he's already so cunning, launching a sneak attack when we weren't paying attention.

What would happen if he grew up?!

I've made up my mind to grind him to dust tonight.

The array was also affected, and the cinnabar red light suddenly dimmed!

The buzzing, trembling rhythm of the seven peach wood stakes also stopped for a moment.

On the two wooden stakes representing Tian Shu and Tian Xuan, the runes drawn with black dog blood began to fade.

The ghost baby's attack was effective, emitting a strange, giggling laugh. It crawled on all fours, like a deformed giant spider, towards the entrance of the cold storage at an incredible speed.

The scene startled us all; I almost threw the lightning sword in my hand.

"Yang fire refines Yin, Seven Stars suppress evil, rise!"

Fortunately, Old Han seemed to have been prepared, and he suddenly threw the string of jujube wood beads in his hand toward the center of the array.

The prayer beads scattered in the air. The thirty-six peach wood beads did not fall randomly, but landed precisely between the key point of the needle and the seven peach wood stakes, instantly connecting with the formation!

That move of his left me speechless; Old Han is truly something else.

Luo Tianhe and Zhang Qiang were relieved and stood at their proper places.

At this moment, each jujube wood bead glowed with a scorching red light, like a burning ember. They were connected by energy, forming a network of yang energy that stabilized the entire array!

Its brilliance shone brightly for a time.
