Chapter 118 Gathering of Wraiths, Ferocious Tomb Guardians
Yun Shu explained to her, "There's a coffin under that carved bed. I only saw it when I was looking at the ghost's shoes. I hadn't paid any attention to it before."
The coffin under the bed was rather dilapidated; the wood was cracked and had holes from insect bites. The coffin in the very center of the main burial chamber, however, was exquisitely crafted, made of the finest huanghuali wood, and encased in a carved outer coffin—the kind of coffin commonly used by high-ranking officials and nobles in ancient times.
Upon hearing Yun Shu's words, Chu Xingnan immediately made a connection: "You mean, that ghost isn't the true owner of this large cemetery, but rather it's usurped it!"
"right."
Yun Shu sneered, "Although he was wearing an official robe, he forgot to change his shoes. What official wears straw sandals while he's alive? His remains are definitely in the coffin under the bed."
"Let's go in and scatter his ashes, let's see how arrogant he can still be!"
As Chu Xingnan finished speaking, a sharp cry suddenly came from in front of them, like the call of some kind of bird to its companions.
It was the ghost that was immobilized that made the sound. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she was looking at Yun Shu and Chu Xingnan with a resentful look. Her eyes were full of murderous intent, and she kept trying to break free from the restraints of the exorcism talisman and the chains of the underworld messengers.
"hiss!"
A sharp cry rang out.
The chill emanating from underground grew stronger and stronger, biting and cold. Yun Shu turned on her flashlight and shone it in the direction she saw, and saw several pale hands reaching out from underground.
The female ghosts emerged.
These female ghosts were all dressed in gorgeous ancient robes, adorned with gold and silver, but they exuded an extremely fierce aura, and were all of the level of vengeful spirits.
As if under some kind of command, they relentlessly attacked Yun Shu and Chu Xingnan, even after their companions were beaten to a pulp, they still pounced on them without giving up.
"This is never going to end!"
Chu Xingnan complained speechlessly, "Just how many people died in this place? How come there are so many vengeful ghosts! These vengeful ghosts alone are enough to make up for my annual sales!"
If these vengeful ghosts weren't so fierce that her chains weren't enough, and she could only beat them until their souls were scattered, she really would have liked to capture them all to boost her performance!
Yun Shu's exorcism talismans are almost used up.
"We need a swift and decisive victory!"
She approached the main burial chamber. "He should be able to command these burial ghosts to attack us. We just need to deal with him! Go scatter his ashes!"
"Walk!"
The two were about to enter the main burial chamber when they discovered that the stone doors and windows were sealed shut and could not be opened at all; even Chu Xingnan's ghost could not enter.
Chu Xingnan tried several times to use the ghost's unique ability to pass through walls, but in the end, she still stayed by Yun Shu's side.
Chu Xingnan was exasperated. "Why can't I get in? Didn't that ghost in the official robe float in? Why can't I?"
Yun Shu gathered her spiritual power in her hand and struck the sealed stone door with her palm, but the stone door did not budge.
She frowned in worry. "This door is made of special materials, and my spiritual power is not enough."
As soon as Yun Shu finished speaking, she suddenly felt a violent earthquake. The entire ground was shaking, and gravel was falling from above the cemetery.
The ghosts that had been haunting them earlier had all disappeared, burrowing back underground as if they had sensed something terrifying.
Yun Shu looked into the thick black fog, but her flashlight could only illuminate a small area, making it impossible to see the entire cemetery.
Bang bang bang!
The noise was getting closer and closer to them.
The ground was still trembling. Looking down, Yun Shu could see cracks appearing on the ground not far away.
"What's going on? Is the mountain about to collapse?"
Chu Xingnan frowned and looked at Yun Shu, "You should run first. If the cemetery collapses, you'll be buried here. I'm already dead, so it doesn't matter."
Yun Shu stood still, saying, "The black fog is so thick, we have no idea where the way out is."
"I've called for reinforcements!" Chu Xingnan took out his underworld phone and sent a message, then pulled out his sports car. "Get in quickly, I'll take you out first, then I'll deal with that Green-Shedding Ghost!"
Yun Shu was the only living person in the tomb, and she didn't want to be buried here, so she quickly got into Chu Xingnan's car.
Fortunately, the headlights of the paper-crafted cart could illuminate a distance, allowing them to vaguely determine the direction from which they were coming.
With a loud bang.
Just as Chu Xingnan was about to drive away, a huge object crashed down from the roof of her car, smashing her sports car to pieces.
Holy crap!
Chu Xingnan emerged from the wrecked car as a wisp of ghostly energy, anxiously rummaging through the sports car's fragments. "Yun Shu, are you alright?! Even if you're dead, you should have made a sound!"
"careful!"
Chu Xingnan heard Yun Shu's voice coming from another direction, and above her head appeared a ferocious beast with an extremely oppressive aura, stomping down on her.
This thing looks like a dog and a wolf at the same time, but it's as big as an elephant, with unusually long tusks and immense strength.
Chu Xingnan transformed into a wisp of ghostly energy once more and vanished from the spot, escaping the monster's attack.
Following the sound, she found the corner where Yun Shu was hiding and said with lingering fear, "I'm so glad you're alright. I thought you'd been smashed to pieces!"
Yun Shu looked in the direction of the monster, her eyes slightly darkening.
"This seems to be a tomb guardian beast kept by the tomb owner. I saw the statue of the tomb guardian beast when I came in. I thought it was just decoration, but I didn't expect it to turn into a spirit to attack intruders."
Yun Shu frowned. "This thing is made from the resentment of the dead. I don't have anything that can eliminate such strong resentment at the moment."
"It's alright, it's alright, I've already called for reinforcements. Let's wait for them to arrive before we talk! This place is far too dangerous; no wonder he dared to harm nine living people at once!"
Chu Xingnan felt a little sorry for her sports car. She wanted Yun Shu to make her another one, but then she saw Yun Shu suddenly stand up and run towards the direction of the tomb guardian beast.
"Wait for me here!"
Chu Xingnan was shocked. "Yun Shu, what are you doing out at this time? Are you crazy! Come back here!"
The tomb guardian beast was causing chaos everywhere, searching for their whereabouts, and it dispersed much of the black mist. Chu Xingnan then saw Yun Shu arrive in front of the tomb guardian beast.
The tomb guardian beasts are formed from the resentment of the dead. They float in mid-air, and their scarlet eyes, like those of the burial ghosts, are filled with killing intent.
It looked down at Yun Shu with disdain in its eyes, as if looking at an ant.
As a result, Yun Shu stood there and gave it the middle finger.
Tomb Guardian Beast: ?
Chu Xingnan: ?
Holy crap, how dare she provoke this thing? Didn't she just say that nothing could eliminate such a massive amount of resentment? Oh no, she's really gone mad!
Chu Xingnan was stunned. Then, the tomb guardian beast let out a furious roar and charged directly towards Yun Shu.
