Chapter 23 Mass Grave

After Kui Ming finished eating sixty big meat buns, six pieces of pork ribs, two eggs and a large bowl of seaweed egg drop soup, Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that her previous bowl of spinach and vermicelli soup was a bit unfair to him.

"Are you full?"

Bai Xiaoxiao asked uncertainly.

Kui Ming felt it carefully and said, "I'm already eight-tenths full."

Bai Xiaoxiao was very pleased: "I can feed you until you are 80% full."

But the chef next to him was almost crying. After all, he really couldn't explain why the ingredients he bought yesterday were gone today.

The warm sun at noon is so warm that it is almost scorching.

The lush green leaves reflected the light, and the calm stream sparkled.

Bai Xiaoxiao dragged Kui Ming along the narrow path out of the Wu Mansion and headed towards the mountains behind Wu Town. They questioned almost all the parties involved, but the information they obtained was very little.

There is no way to ask anymore.

She decided to go to what the townspeople called the mass grave.

The road leading to the mountain is not difficult. The steep slope with dense weeds becomes flatter as you go up. The towering trees that cover the sky are lined up in rows, and the sunlight shines through the narrow gaps, casting faint spots.

It was still a sunny day, but the warmth in my body had mostly dissipated.

Some graves can be seen not far away.

Just as Bai Xiaoxiao was about to step over, Kui Ming suddenly pulled her back.

"There's a lot of evil energy here, be careful."

"good."

After climbing up another steep slope, the warmth brought by the sun completely dissipated. The gloomy leaves cast eerie shadows, covering the corpses scattered everywhere like a fig leaf. There were men and women, old and young, all wearing coarse cloth clothes of different styles, but they were all tied up with ropes and had cloth strips in their mouths. The blood flowing on their bodies had long since solidified, and the ground beneath them was dark red, emitting a pungent fishy smell.

Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't help coughing twice.

The moment she opened her mouth, something cool melted on the tip of her tongue.

Kui Ming explained to her: "The Qingxin Pill can calm your mind and prevent you from being disturbed by evil spirits."

"What about you, Big Brother?"

"I have already reached Nascent Soul stage, I don't need these."

[Wow, Nascent Soul Stage?! ! !]

Kui Ming thought for a moment, "I reached the late Nascent Soul stage a month ago, but I haven't been able to break through from the Nascent Soul stage to the early stage of the Spiritualization stage. My progress is indeed a bit slow."

Bai·Three months of training·Middle stage of Qi training·Xiaoxiao: "..."

Kui Ming looked at the girl walking quickly forward and said, "Junior Sister, what's wrong?"

"I don't want to talk to you right now!"

The bodies on the ground were scattered.

Bai Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves and squatted down to examine the corpses. The exposed skin of these corpses was indeed as rough and wrinkled as the bark of a thousand-year-old tree, but their facial features were still there. They had died before they had completely transformed into faceless corpses.

She slowly continued to walk inside, picked up a wooden stick to lift up the corpses on the upper layer and observe the rest of the corpses piled below. Bai Xiaoxiao actually felt a little strange. These corpses buried the deepest should have been the first to die, and they should have been the most affected by the evil spirit, but their skin was smooth and their facial features were distinct, and they were not affected by the evil spirit at all.

The bodies became more orderly as you went down.

Bai Xiaoxiao turned over the body of a girl. The body was hard and the skin was bloodless. There were two spots of decayed corpses here and there, but there was nothing else unusual.

[Something strange...]

"Junior sister, be careful!"

Kui Ming, who had been silently accompanying her, suddenly shouted. Before Bai Xiaoxiao could react, she was firmly grasped by Kui Ming and immediately soared into the air. A faceless corpse suddenly emerged from the mud where she had been standing.

Kui Ming took Bai Xiaoxiao away from the pile of corpses, but with the sudden appearance of the faceless corpse, those originally dead corpses twisted their limbs into inhuman arcs as if they were alive and slowly stood up.

Bai Xiaoxiao stared at it in amazement: "What is this..."

"Be careful." Kui Ming pulled her behind him. "That evil demon is probably nearby. It's controlling these corpses."

As if to echo Kui Ming's words, the facial features of the corpses gradually disappeared like wax, leaving only a thin and flat face. They pounced towards Bai Xiaoxiao and Kui Ming at a rapid speed, their sharp nails black and as sharp as knives.

Kui Ming turned his right hand, and the black spear with golden patterns painted on it appeared out of thin air in an instant. He jumped up and then fell down, and the spear seemed to make a sound like thunder and tiger roar, smashing a big hole with him as the center.

The faceless corpse was shaken away and turned into ashes in the next second.

“Amazing!”

Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up.

Kui Ming stood up and scanned the air.

The gloomy leaves are densely intertwined, casting eerie and strange shadows.

He seemed to be sensing something, and suddenly, his fingertips twirled as he launched the spear forward. Bai Xiaoxiao was watching with excitement when she suddenly felt the spear, carrying a strong pressure and murderous aura, hurtle towards her. Her body unconsciously weakened, but she suppressed the instinct to dodge.

The spear brushed past her hair and stabbed straight behind her.

“Hey—”

A strange cry was heard and then disappeared.

“What…?”

Bai Xiaoxiao straightened her body and looked at Kui Ming who was approaching.

"The evil clone." Kui Ming replied.

"Really? I... I..."

Bai Xiaoxiao's voice stuttered a little. Seeing her hesitation, Kui Ming pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you want to see Xiesha's clone? But that clone has been dispersed by the Black Qilin Spear. I'll show it to you next time."

"no……"

Bai Xiaoxiao replied, "I do want to see what Xiesha's clone looks like, but right now... can you give me a hand? My legs are a little weak..."

Kuiming:?

…

Bai Xiaoxiao sat on the ground to rest for a while. She looked back at the place where the Black Kirin spear had pierced. The spear had been put away by Kui Ming, leaving only a big hole in the mud.

"Big Brother, do you know what evil spirit attacked us?"

Bai Xiaoxiao asked as she looked at the mass grave where more than half of the bodies had disappeared.

Kui Ming thought for a moment and replied, "It's not some evil spirit. It's the evil spirit that attacked us."

Bai Xiaoxiao: ...

But she didn't expect Kui Ming to really say something that would increase the amount of information. Since more than half of the corpses were controlled by the evil spirit, the situation in the mass grave became clearer.

Bai Xiaoxiao took a look and saw that the corpses were scattered around in different degrees of decay.

But one thing in common is that most of the corpses that were not controlled by evil spirits and were not sent here because of skin aging were women, and young women at that.

Bai Xiaoxiao frowned in surprise, and suddenly remembered what the store owner had told her before, about missing persons. Could these be the missing people?

But how could a mass grave appear?

Are they all girls?

Bai Xiaoxiao picked up a silk handkerchief pinned to a girl's waist and held it in her hand.

It seems that she needs to investigate the disappearance case first.
