Xiao Tang took out his compass.
Strange characters were written on the compass with cinnabar ink.
Ruyi doesn't understand.
But she couldn't understand these mysterious things either.
Just then, they all heard a strange, low growl.
Along with the low growl, strange footsteps slowly approached their door.
Ruyi was immediately terrified and trembled with fear!
Her face was pale, and she stammered, "Your Highness, is it...is it really here?"
Did the monster hear them talking?
They're doomed!
Xiao Tang, on the contrary, became even calmer and poked a hole in the door.
"I'll know once I take a look."
She looked out through the hole she had made.
"Yo ho~"
Upon seeing the headless monster, Xiao Tang clicked his tongue in disapproval.
Her overly calm expression aroused a hint of curiosity in Ruyi.
Although Ruyi was timid and cowardly, she also had a great curiosity about such unbelievable things.
"Your Highness, what's going on?"
She asked in a low voice, subconsciously wanting to poke a hole in it.
Seeing how much the princess was enjoying it, she became even more eager to see what was going on.
but!
When she saw the headless monster outside the door, she was terrified.
It is indeed headless.
Moreover, countless black insects crawled out from the area around the neck, gnawing at it, making the bloodstains black and sticky.
As for the monster's body, its tattered clothes could not conceal its already rotting flesh.
Disgusting!
Ruyi couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she covered her mouth and crawled to the other side, vomiting repeatedly.
Xiao Tang glanced at her.
"Curiosity killed the cat. Don't do that kind of thing again, understand?"
Xiao Tang glared at Ruyi.
But she stared at the headless monster outside the door, her expression unwavering and her demeanor completely calm.
She could sense that the monster was nothing more than a headless, rotting corpse.
The real cannibal was not this corpse!
It was not the corpse itself, but the vengeful spirit that controlled it.
Because of the door, she couldn't see clearly, only vaguely discernible black resentment emanating from it.
The headless monster must have realized there were people there, so it pattered and slowly approached their door.
Every step he took carried an immense sense of pressure.
Ruyi hugged herself and hid in a corner, "Your Highness, you...you have to be careful, it...it will come and eat us, waaaaah."
That's terrifying.
If they were eaten...
The prince will definitely be heartbroken for the princess, but... no one will be heartbroken for her. Oh dear, so pitiful.
Xiao Tang really wanted to roll her eyes at this girl.
I just can't help but wonder if this girl is too cowardly.
"Don't worry, it won't dare to come near."
As she finished speaking, she raised the compass in her hand.
The headless monster outside the door was shocked; the invisible force forced him to retreat repeatedly.
Finally, he tripped on the steps and fell down.
【Oh wow~ You headless monster, even your wrestling is so ugly.】
Xiao Tang quickly opened the door.
The headless monster that had fallen to the ground suddenly got up.
Xiao Tang produced a peach wood sword from who-knows-where.
On the peach wood sword were incantations written in cinnabar ink.
At first glance, it doesn't seem special.
Because the writing on the talisman was crooked and messy.
This was something she had Yan Shi buy before she entered the Prince's mansion, since pretending to be a Taoist priest required some special weapons.
The headless monster also "saw" the strange incantation on the peach wood sword and was frightened.
No.
It was less that it was frightened, and more that the vengeful spirit that controlled it was frightened.
Xiao Tang also saw the appearance of the vengeful spirit.
Good... Ugly.
It had a long, horse-like face, big buck teeth, and a long, protruding tongue.
Upon closer inspection, the vengeful spirit's form does indeed bear a striking resemblance to this headless corpse.
He hanged himself, right?
Xiao Tang thought to herself.
A flicker of fear crossed the buck-toothed vengeful spirit's face. Suddenly realizing something, it thought that Xiao Tang was fair-skinned and clean, and it could devour her and take over her body!
So, it revealed a sinister smile.
The headless corpse was also excitedly cheering on the spot.
It was as if victory had already arrived.
Xiao Tang watched coldly from the sidelines, and just as the corpse was jumping around too happily, she plunged her sword into its chest.
The fingers quickly formed a hand seal.
A flaming talisman was affixed to the corpse.
boom!
The body was burned to ashes by the blazing, pale blue flames!
To avoid being burned to death, the vengeful spirits were quickly forced out.
It glared fiercely at Xiao Tang.
[Dude, you're still glaring at me? Humph? You won't shed a tear until you see the coffin, huh?]
It's not your fault you're ugly, but it's wrong to go out and scare people when you're ugly.
The vengeful spirit lunged at Xiao Tang.
Meanwhile, the headless monster had been burned to nothing but black ash.
The vengeful spirit pounced on Xiao Tang!
Xiao Tang knelt on one knee on the ground.
He quickly used the peach wood sword to brace himself against the ground.
"Tangtang!"
Just as she was about to collapse, she was firmly supported by an arm.
The man held her waist, his eyes darkening. "What happened?"
He just arrived!
If we hadn't heard the noise!
I almost arrived late!
Xiao Tang gritted her teeth, "Get away from me! Now!"
The vengeful spirit is enraged. Is Di Jingling trying to possess you by getting so close?
Xiao Tang glared at him intently.
