In the shadow behind Chen Shu, a twisted figure clung, wearing loose blue capri pants, her left leg broken, with only a part of skin and flesh connecting it.
Shi Jinzhe recognized the feet as the ones he had seen under the bed on the first night.
The female ghost, who had been discovered, emerged from behind Chen Shu, revealing her full appearance. Everyone except Sheh was shocked by her appearance.
Meng Chengxi finally understood why he hadn't noticed the female ghost following Chen Shu.
Her upper body was bent backward, her back pressed against the back of her knees, her whole body was broken in the opposite direction, her cervical spine twisted 180 degrees, so that she could only look at people upside down through the gap between her legs.
If you make her stand up straight, her hair will be facing forward, and people can only see her face from behind.
Meng Chengxi reacted quickly, pulling the female ghost to his side the instant she completely left Chen Shu's shadow.
"You two are really good at keeping your word. You said you wouldn't make a sound, and you actually did. You've been able to hold back for so long."
Chen Shu finally saw what the female ghost who had been squeezing between his heels and the ground looked like.
A chill crept up his calves, and he gasped, unable to believe he had endured it for so long, silently pressing against this thing for so long.
The female ghost stood motionless in a strange posture, staring intently at the group, as if she was afraid of something and dared not approach.
"Why didn't she attack us..."
Shi Jinzhe guessed that he was afraid to make any rash moves because he had been whipped by Sheh's tail.
Meng Chengxi: It's good that we're not attacking, let's keep going.
Seeing that the group was about to leave, the female ghost disappeared into the shadows of the trees, attempting to divert attention.
Her broken ankle and contorted body didn't hinder her movements. She weaved through shadow after shadow, but with Meng Chengxi holding a flashlight, each person's shadow shifted, making it easy for her to spot her weaknesses.
"Ugh!" Li Jiaoyang always remembered not to shout, but the pain still made her groan.
She looked down and saw that her ankle felt like it had been ripped off by a frozen guillotine, with a large chunk of flesh torn away, causing blood to gush out.
The bloody smell emboldened the female ghost, making her behavior even more aggressive. Li Jiaoyang threw out a corn kernel, which unexpectedly caused the female ghost to be hit by the explosion, and her severed hand began to regenerate rapidly.
On her pale face, the corners of her mouth twitched up, revealing withered gums; the stiff, cold muscles made the smile even more eerie.
Realizing that Shekh was indifferent to the safety of these people, she completely let go, no longer groping for an attack. She braced herself with her palms on the ground and launched an attack on the already injured Li Jiaoyang from a waist-bending position.
Li Jiaoyang endured the pain, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it. The female ghost could be restored, so using corn kernels would be too wasteful. It would be better to use stones, which could be as many as needed.
Meng Chengxi flew over with a dagger and pinned the female ghost's hand to the back of her hand, but the next second the female ghost hid in the shadows and reappeared, already entangled with Chen Shu.
His calf was scratched by long fingernails and bitten hard, exposing the white bone. Chen Shu's Adam's apple trembled with pain. He threw out the prop he had found during the day, "Ephemeral Flower". In an instant, a white light flashed and the female ghost had nowhere to hide.
Meng Chengxi threw four daggers in quick succession. He turned around and shouted to Shi Jinzhe, "Go and catch Shao Dong first, don't let him get away."
Ignoring the dazed look on Qu Yang's face, Shi Jinzhe led Shehe quickly toward Shao Dong's house.
With such a commotion, it will soon attract attention, so we must act quickly.
When she realized that Shi Jinzhe and Shehe were heading towards Shao Dong's house, the female ghost quickly shifted her target, her ghostly aura erupting as she rushed over using both hands and feet.
Extreme coldness pierced the skin, and countless resentful energies spread in all directions. The rampant eerie atmosphere left people powerless to resist, and Meng Chengxi was forced to take several steps back by this black aura.
Her contorted body twisted again, her back pressed against the ground, her dislocated and deformed mouth opened, and she lunged at Shi Jinzhe with all her might.
Bang--!
The female ghost, who was leaping in the air, was slammed into the ground by an invisible force.
The ground was smashed into a large crater, and she was thrown painfully to the side of Shi Jinzhe's broken feet.
The heavy pressure restricted the female ghost's movement, and Shekh met her eyes, staring at her through the black ribbon.
She turned her head, face up, glaring at the two of them, her teeth clenching and unclenching, still trying to bite.
Shekh loosened his grip slightly, and the female ghost, sensing the reduced pressure, seized the opportunity to get up and continue her attack.
In the blink of an eye, Shekh clenched his fist again, gripping the female ghost with even greater force than before. This time, her entire body was thrown into the ground from a distance.
Dust flew everywhere, her clenched hands loosened and clenched again, each slam with an increasingly terrifying force that nearly shattered the female ghost's body.
The people standing not far away had their throats itchy from the dust, but none of them dared to make a sound, forcibly suppressing their coughs.
The female ghost screamed; she couldn't escape or hide, and could only passively endure it.
After several times, a clear dividing line was formed on the dirt road. Only when the pervasive ghostly aura gradually disappeared did Shekh release his palm and start rotating his fingers instead.
A crisp, cracking sound rang out as the female ghost's twisted, pretzel-like body began to be forcibly restored under Shekh's control.
Her broken lumbar vertebrae straightened again, her faceless face was turned back to the right direction, and her stumbling ankles once again stepped onto solid ground.
The fierce killing intent was dispelled, and although her face was still pale and bluish, she now looked like a human being.
Seeing that the female ghost still harbored resentment and a desire to retaliate, Shekh coldly said, "Chai Anan, have you gotten what you wanted after doing all this?"
Like a thunderclap from a clear sky, the others were stunned by the name.
These words were like a knife to Chai Anan's heart. She suddenly looked up, her face filled with disbelief.
"You..." Her voice was too hoarse and rough to make a sound. She could only utter the word "you" before she could say nothing more.
Sheh didn't say much, but said to Meng Chengxi, "Take her away to Shaodong."
"Oh... okay."
Meng Chengxi was being directed to do things. He carefully touched Chai Anan's body and was surprised to see a very faint purple mist wrapped around her hands.
Recalling Shekh's purple snake tail, he became audacious, pulling out a rope and physically catching the ghost.
Shi Jin, carrying Shehe, left first, wondering if Shao Dong had run away.
Shekh looked towards the courtyard wall: "He can't escape."
Upon hearing this, Shi Jinzhe knew that she must have done something.
As the house went from silhouette to clear outline, before he even reached the door, he heard a crawling sound that sent chills down his spine.
A bad feeling welled up in his heart. Meng Chengxi's flashlight beam shone from behind him, and Shi Jinzhe saw that the house was covered with a dense mass of snakes, some of which had fallen to the ground and were slithering around.
He closed his eyes, marveling at how he could still move in the face of this sight; he had truly made progress.
If this had happened a few days earlier, he would have fainted on the spot. With a death wish, Shi Jinzhe stepped into the courtyard.
Suddenly, Chai Anan, who was walking behind, let out a strange cry. Her arm was burned by a beam of golden light. Shi Jinzhe stood inside the door and glanced at the several yellow talismans hanging on the door frame. Some of the marks had faded, and new ones had been pasted on them.
He told Sheh to tear down all the yellow talismans, old and new, and the moment the talismans were torn away, the temperature in Shao Dong's house suddenly dropped, as cold as if you had just taken a shower and then stood outside in the middle of a snowy day.
"This Shao Dong family..."
Sheh confirmed Shi Jinzhe's question: "Yes, there's more than one ghost guarding the door; Li Xin is there too."
