Ju Jingbai looked at the two silent people, who seemed a little introverted.
Ju Jingbai smiled at them, but only got two toothless smiles in return.
Xia Chenglin muttered bitterly, "You're such a jerk! I almost died at the hands of a ghost just now, and you told me that all those ghosts obeyed you. Doesn't that mean you can just walk around this maze like a jerk? Even Xu Ge, the humanoid cheat, can't match you. Oh, and you two are in the same group. Do you want a little Taoist like me to live?"
"We are not joining forces against you, why are you worrying here? How about following us?" Ju Jingbai said.
"Follow me, follow me. Not only will I follow you, I will also serve you comfortably." Xia Chenglin said without any hesitation.
Ju Jingbai: "...That's not necessary."
Ju Jingbai turned to the two silent men and said, "What about you guys? Do you want to follow me?"
The two men didn't say anything, just nodded.
"Brother, just follow me. Follow the boss and you will win without any effort!" Xia Chenglin hugged one of the men and said with a bright smile.
Ju Jingbai looked at the two men and his face became slightly stiff again.
"Boss, who are those two people?" Ju Jingbai asked Xu Ge in a low voice.
Xu Ge shook his head. "I don't know. These two people seemed to appear out of nowhere. I don't know them. I haven't seen their faces on the list of participants before the competition."
"Xia Chenglin," Ju Jingbai called out, "Have you found the exit of the maze?"
"No, we haven't found the exit, and it's very chaotic here. There are ghosts trying to catch us." Xia Chenglin saw Ju Jingbai looking at the locust tree ghost and quickly said, "It's not that kind of ghost. Those ghosts are wearing armor and their words and actions are like an army. They catch both humans and ghosts."
"When Zuo Ye and I were in the same team, he finally bombarded an exit, and we both escaped. Not long after I escaped, I met Xu Ge. It's a pity that Zuo Ye and I got separated, otherwise we could have died together."
"That means there are three groups of people in this maze, one group of us contestants, one group of armored ghosts, and one group of locust tree ghosts?" Ju Jingbai asked with a frown.
"Yes." Xu Ge said, "There is another wave of the two-legged beasts that the ghosts mentioned, the fourth wave."
"What a mess," Ju Jingbai complained, shaking the red high heels in his hand and saying, "In addition to the purple house, I also went to the red house. I think the red house is a kind of confinement place. These shoes can temporarily turn people into ghosts. And there are several ghosts sitting in the red house, and those ghosts are all wearing red high heels."
"The red house over there disappeared from its original location after I came out. I guess it might have moved to a new location."
"Damn, red high heels, the kind of power you see in horror movies. A ghost wearing red high heels is too scary!" Xia Chenglin said in horror.
"By the way, I also saw Xia Chengxing. She seemed to be running towards the blue star."
"Blue, dangerous." As soon as Ju Jingbai finished speaking, one of the two silent people spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Have you been to the blue star?" Ju Jingbai asked.
The two men shook their heads in unison. The chubby one, blushing, repeated, "Blue. It's dangerous. We can't go."
"Boss, that group of two-legged beasts are running over there." Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the aisle next to Ju Jingbai.
"Chase." Ju Jingbai held his breath and listened to the sounds from next door. The bad thing was that the group of humans turned from that side and ran in the direction of Ju Jingbai.
Five or six human-like creatures looked at the locust tree ghost with horror, then turned back to look at the other group of ghosts that had not yet caught up, not knowing what to do.
Those creatures were not wearing gas masks, and after the purple potion sprayed out took effect, they fell to the ground one after another.
"Boss, we didn't spray the poisonous water, did we?" The group of ghosts chasing after them were also muscular big ghosts. Their clothes were very similar to the locust tree ghosts, and they also wore gas masks.
"Let's talk somewhere else." Seeing this, Ju Jingbai pulled Xu Ge and ran towards the locust tree ghost, asking as he ran, "Brother Locust Tree, didn't you say that the only humans hired at the entrance of Changshan Alley are ghosts like you?" Xia Chenglin hurriedly pulled the other two to catch up with Ju Jingbai.
"That's what the people at the entrance of Changshan Alley said." The water ghost pouted and said in a sinister voice, "Boss, have we been deceived?"
Before the ghosts over there could catch up, the headless ghost swiftly tied up the human creature and carried it back to the team.
"Damn it." The locust tree ghost looked very unhappy. He met the fist of the male ghost who was running towards him from the opposite side. The sharp edges of the leaves on his body were vaguely aimed at all the enemies, protecting the weak souls behind him.
Ju Jingbai watched the two of them fight without saying a word.
The sound of punches colliding with each other, bang bang bang, hitting the actual fog, made the atmosphere very depressing.
"Brother Ertiao," Ju Jingbai pulled the hanged ghost, "are you just going to let Brother Huaishu fight alone?"
The one fighting against the locust tree ghost was a wolf's soul, and on his fists were a pair of wolf claws with thick fur and sharp claws.
The soul power wrapped around the locust tree ghost's body was pulled apart by the opponent's sharp claws.
If the locust tree ghost were a flesh-and-blood human, his body would probably be a bloody mess by now.
"Trust our boss. He hasn't shown his true abilities yet." The hanged ghost was furious. "Actually, we didn't even have to fight. We were just tricked by the people in Changshan Alley outside. The agreement we signed outside clearly stated that they only invited our team. If any other team enters their farm, it will be an illegal invasion. We need to arrest them all. The soul power has sealed the deal. If they violate the agreement, they may have to pay a large sum of money after they get out. Damn, so many people can be smuggled in? I don't believe it."
"Changshan Lane is known as the most sincere company, bullshit." The headless ghost said angrily with a "Pooh".
"Didn't they tear up the contract first? Why are they still concerned about the agreement now?" Ju Jingbai said in shock.
"There are ghosts with divination abilities at the entrance of Changshan Alley. Once a problem occurs, they will take inventory and reappear." said the water ghost.
"My boss and I just checked the agreement. Changshan Alley didn't guarantee that other teams wouldn't come in. If they say they've only signed with us, then if we don't arrest someone and tear up the contract, it would be dishonest. Who would dare to hire us in the future?" The Hanged Ghost said helplessly, "I think the other team should have signed the agreement as well. When the time comes, the two teams will go head-to-head, and they'll sign the stronger one. Isn't that just empty talk?"
"Isn't your agreement too loose? Don't you even sign a supplementary agreement?" Xia Chenglin said speechlessly.
The hanged man was puzzled: "What is a supplementary agreement? We have always signed it this way before? Is there a more detailed version of the agreement now?"
"Brother, don't you have a leader out there who manages the entire world? Is it that the strong are respected? Or do the various forces coordinate and control each other?" Xia Chenglin saw the hanged ghost nod, and said in understanding, "That's right." He suppressed the desire to explain the supplementary agreement. Obviously, in that world, fists are the boss. Talking about a supplementary agreement with the boss is really courting death. It's already a great honor for you for others to sign an open agreement with you.
Ju Jingbai pursed his lips and muttered, "I always feel that the direction of this game is getting weirder and weirder."
Xu Ge smiled and put his arm around Ju Jingbai's shoulder, whispering, "I have a feeling it's going to get even weirder. I think it's going to turn into a fight to escape."
At this time, the battle of the locust tree ghost was nearing its end, and because his tree roots could absorb the opponent's soul power to replenish his own consumed soul power, he narrowly won. The headless ghost and the others were already prepared to swarm and defeat the opponent.
"Someone escaped." Wang Guocheng's voice rang in everyone's ears.
The locust tree ghost paused in his fighting and turned to look at Wang Guocheng. The next second, a rustling sound was heard in the aisle next to him.
This time the movements were more dramatic and the sounds were louder than the last time.
Ju Jingbai thought that many people were escaping, but only one ghost came.
This big ghost looked even more muscular and powerful than the locust tree ghost. He shouted, "We are the Changyan mercenary team from Changyan Forest. You are all hired by Changshan Alley, right? Run! Changshan Alley wants all of us dead. They want to turn all the people or ghosts who enter here into two-legged beasts, castrate them, and sell them for money! Stop fighting! Hurry up and run!"
