The closer you get to the mass grave in the gully, the stronger the stench becomes. Combined with the stench of corpses and decay, the smell is incredibly pungent and unpleasant.
Ma Linghua looked at the two corpses lying stiffly on a large rock, bathed in the bright moonlight, their green eyes gazing upwards.
The three members of the Ma family didn't take any action. They checked the time; it was a little past eleven, more than half an hour before midnight.
The others finally caught up, stumbling along. All seven of them were drenched in sweat and felt like vomiting.
The smell was even stronger than aged liquor; it was so pungent that it was hard to breathe, and it even made my mouth smell bad.
However, the seven of them soon saw the three members of the Ma family sitting on a rock looking at something. When they looked over, they found it even harder to breathe.
Xiaoya also saw her mother, but she didn't act impulsively. At this moment, her mind was perfectly clear, and she had thought about many things along the way.
The two corpses lay motionless on the rocks as if under control, staring blankly at the sky. Ma Lihua yawned repeatedly and glanced at her watch again.
It's almost midnight.
Soon, a rustling sound came from the bottom of the ditch, and two dark figures emerged from the crack in the stone.
Under the bright moonlight, everyone could take in the scene below.
Two animals that looked like a leopard and a cat approached the carcass step by step. One looked very strong, while the other looked rather thin, but its belly was bulging.
It can be seen that one of them is female and pregnant, so we can guess that it is a male and a female animal.
However, what happened next terrified the seven people.
The strong animal bit off Wu Laofeng's head, which was lying on the stone slab, and a trickle of dark blood flowed from the severed neck.
The sight sent chills down the spines of several people.
"What...what is this?" Captain Gao asked Ma Linghua in a trembling voice.
"Don't you recognize it? This is a lynx! It eats human flesh." Ma Hehua replied impatiently.
Why ask her mother? Can't you see her mother is in a bad mood? You really have no tact.
"What is a lynx?" Captain Gao, who was not afraid of death, asked again.
"Want to know?" Ma Hehua asked.
"Yes!" Captain Gao nodded.
Ma Hehua stretched out her hand with a sly smile and said, "I can tell you. When I was watching videos, I heard that in the city, you have to pay to learn something. Give me 120 yuan, and I'll explain it to you."
Seven people; "……………………"
Good heavens! This woman is shameless! What is that? That's advanced knowledge with great uses! What is this? Just some ghost or monster! Is she crazy for money?
But no one dared to say it.
Captain Gao remained silent for a moment. Ma Hehua watched them with interest. It wouldn't be long before they paid the money.
Sure enough, Captain Gao took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out a red sun bill and a 20-yuan note, and handed the money to Ma Hehua with an expressionless face.
Ma Linghua nodded in satisfaction. Not bad, her daughter was quite clever and quick-witted, having learned a little bit of her skills in this area.
Ma Hehua deftly took the 120 yuan, but to her surprise, the man held it tightly. Humph! It's just 120 yuan, isn't it? Not generous at all.
Captain Gao finally let go. He was out of money for cigarettes, so he'd have to eat a few lollipops for the rest of the month!
"Oh! Seeing how curious you all are, Auntie will tell you." She had a mysterious look on her face, which made everyone feel uncomfortable, and her face was smiling like a chrysanthemum.
"This lynx is a mutant of the feline family. It survives by eating human flesh and the corpses of other animals. They gradually deviate from the range of normal creatures and become something akin to ghosts. Once they become addicted to eating human flesh, they will have no control over wanting to kill people to eat. Their mouths are full of insidious poison, which is equivalent to arsenic in humans. Once they start killing and eating, it means that they have become a spirit. Not only have they become greedy, but they may also eat even more people. Ordinary lynxes will only dig up graves in the deep mountains to eat human flesh or corpses that others have carelessly discarded. It is best to kill the lynx that has started killing and eating, otherwise they will not stop."
Ma Hehua talked on and on, and after she finished, she looked at the group of people who were dumbfounded and gave them a disdainful look, thinking they were just ignorant people.
The group's worldview was greatly shaken. They had never heard of such things before, and it seemed they had actually encountered them.
Xiaoya is alright; she has lived in the countryside and has a good attitude towards some strange things.
Unable to bear watching the lynx with its swollen belly approach her breast step by step, tears streamed down her face, and her resentment reached its peak.
This beast killed her grandmother and also killed Grandpa Feng. He is truly despicable.
As the group watched the two beasts begin to devour the flesh of the dead, their stomachs churned uncontrollably, and they were then met with a disdainful look from Ma Hehua.
Several people; "……………………"
"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, people bitten to death by this lynx will be summoned by it, which is called corpse control. It will summon the corpse to its side for it to eat," Ma Hehua added.
The more they listened, the more terrified they became; this creature was truly terrifying.
Imagine dying, your body being eaten clean, and you being able to stand by and watch—how infuriating would that be! And to be eaten by the very beast that killed you? That feeling is absolutely infuriating.
"Lotus, let's get to work," Ma Linghua's calm voice rang out.
It's midnight now. That beast really knows how to pick its time. Human flesh tastes the best and the yin energy is the most abundant at this time. It seems this isn't the first time it's eaten people like this.
"Okay, Mother! I'm going right now." After replying, Ma Hehua leaped off the rock like a nimble swallow and headed straight for the two lynxes.
The group was terrified; their hearts couldn't take it!
That place must be at least ten meters high! It's so high, wouldn't a person be alright if they jumped?
However, they quickly came to their senses. They had already seen the corpse run away and encountered a ghost. What else could they not bear?
Just as the two lynxes were enjoying their meal, they were terrified by Ma Hehua's curved knife and crawled on the ground.
A gleaming scimitar was embedded between the two corpses, its blade emitting a mournful wail, like the pitiful roar of a vengeful ghost.
The two lynxes put down the meat in their mouths and retreated step by step. They were smart; they knew a powerful person had come and planned to make a quick getaway.
However, no matter how they retreated, they could not return to the mass grave cave in the stone gully, because Ma Hehua had used yin energy to lock the magnetic field, that is, the site.
The two lynxes were trapped in a maze, unable to escape no matter what they did.
