Soon, accompanied by the cracking sound of bones grinding together, it slowly turned its entire face around.
The moment I saw his face, I felt a chill run from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.
This thing is even stranger than I imagined!
If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be a water ghost!
But I have never seen such a bizarre water ghost, its entire face covered with fine, bluish-green fish scales.
His entire body was covered in swollen, pale skin, and densely covered with lividity.
The livid mortises had long since decomposed, oozing thick, yellow blood.
The most terrifying thing was that his belly was bulging, and something seemed to be wriggling inside, occasionally stretching his skin.
"Heh..."
Suddenly, he made a gurgling sound in his throat, as if he were choking on phlegm.
The next moment, to our astonishment, he opened his mouth and spat out a lively loach.
Now I understand why his belly was so bulging!
The question of what those wriggling things were has also been answered.
"Back off! Everyone, back off!"
I yelled and took out the Five Emperors Coins, cinnabar thread, and other items.
That loach was clearly no good. Although it was lively and jumping around, its skin had long since rotted, and in some places, its white bones were even exposed.
With my shout, we staggered back toward the entrance to the tomb.
This thing is really weird, and I don't want to confront it.
Suddenly, Li Huai, who was lagging behind, cried out in surprise as he tripped over a stone in the tomb chamber.
He fell quite hard, and couldn't get up for a while. His body was trembling as he looked in terror at the water ghost chasing after him.
"Oh no!" Upon seeing this, the water ghost revealed a twisted smile.
I couldn't help but curse inwardly. Li Huai, that idiot, is more trouble than he's worth. He's running away and he still manages to fall down!
When Li Huai saw the water ghost so close to him with a strange smile on its face, he was frozen in place, even his trembling stopped.
Just then, the thing moved. Although it was on land, it slowly crawled over as if it were swimming in water.
"Get out of my way!"
I roared and took a step forward.
This water ghost, dripping with foul-smelling slime and writhing incessantly, was about to touch Li Huai. I was startled and disregarded the danger!
I think I heard my grandfather say that water ghosts with a belly full of loaches are unusual.
Ordinary water ghosts love water, but this thing feeds on rotten loaches!
Their resentment runs deeper, and their actions become even more unpredictable and treacherous.
The yin energy he carried was terrifying!
When I opened my third eye, I saw that everything around him was dark, as if it were shrouded in dark clouds.
We must prevent him from encountering any living people, especially someone like Li Huai, whose fate is unique and inherently carries heavy yin energy!
Once the body is invaded by the Yin energy of the water ghost, which carries the evil spirit of water, the consequences are simply unimaginable.
"Old Chen, block his escape route! Luo Tianhe, prepare the fire!"
I shouted, and information about water ghosts flashed through my mind.
This creature is born in water, so it naturally fears fire, and is even more afraid of things that are masculine and fiery.
However, what was before him was clearly extraordinary. Ordinary flames would probably have little effect, at most only able to hinder him for a while. To think he could destroy it was simply wishful thinking.
Upon hearing this, Old Chen nimbly circled behind the water ghost and slammed the iron rod engraved with runes into the ground behind the water ghost!
The runes on the iron rod seemed to sense the yin energy, and with Old Chen's movements, they emitted a faint red light, like a red-hot branding iron!
This caused the water ghost to instinctively avoid that direction.
That wasn't all; the old man quickly took out a handful of powder mixed with sulfur and saltpeter from the cloth bag he carried with him.
With a flick of the wrist, the powder was evenly sprinkled in a semi-circle.
This move made me look at it with admiration.
Old Chen's move was similar to scattering beans to create soldiers; he could casually scatter beans to form a simple warding-off-evil formation, showing that Old Chen was more extraordinary than I had imagined.
With his escape route blocked by Old Chen, and surrounded by the pungent smell of sulfur and the masculine scent of saltpeter that he loathed, the eerie smile on the water ghost's face vanished instantly, replaced by an angry expression as if it had been offended.
Luo Tianhe searched for a long time, but although this godforsaken place was a graveyard, there wasn't even a single piece of paper money. He couldn't find anything to burn.
Seeing us fighting so fiercely, he gritted his teeth, took out a lighter, and then took off his shirt.
His coat was made of wool and caught fire quickly, so he picked up a stick and wrapped the burning garment around it to make a makeshift torch.
At this moment, the thing stretched out its hand covered with scales and webbed membranes!
This thing resembled both a fish and a human. Its fingers were connected by webbed membranes, making it look like an aquatic creature, but its nails were black and long, carrying a fishy smell, as it scratched at Li Huai's face.
At that moment, Li Huai finally reacted. He braced himself with his hands on the ground and moved quickly, narrowly avoiding the attack.
Seeing this, I breathed a sigh of relief, but soon the water ghost attacked again.
This time, Li Huai's arms were trembling. Although he was still trying his best to dodge, his speed was much slower than before.
I saw that his palms were bleeding profusely from being worn down by the rugged cemetery ground!
It's too late!
I was thinking that once the torches and the exorcising formation worked together, I could remove this thing.
But if I don't take action now, that kid Li Huai is probably going to be in big trouble.
I bit my tongue hard, but there was no pressure at all. A piercing pain and a metallic sweetness immediately filled my mouth.
The intense pain made me highly focused, and the vague memories of the water ghost in my mind instantly became clear.
Blood from the tip of the tongue is the most yang blood in the human world, containing the most primal vitality and the power to ward off evil!
Therefore, when faced with such a dangerous situation, I always use this method because it is the most effective and direct way to deal with sudden evil spirits!
Without the slightest hesitation, I immediately spat the blood from the tip of my tongue onto a yellow talisman, and then quickly drew a talisman with my right hand!
The next moment, I silently chanted an incantation, and the yellow talisman transformed into golden light, shooting fiercely at the water ghost's arm that was reaching for Li Huai.
"Pfft!"
It's like a red-hot iron being suddenly plunged into cold water.
A loud, piercing sound, accompanied by rising white smoke, echoed throughout the tomb.
The water ghost's arm was already on fire.
He let out a shrill, inhuman scream and abruptly pulled his outstretched arm back!
On his arm, where the talisman had burned, the fish scales that had been glowing blue instantly turned black.
