Chapter 179
The unlucky fellow had dull eyes and a sluggish expression. He was still struggling to go back and join the melee, but as the distance got farther and farther, he gradually calmed down.
Cheng Hui threw the man in front of City Lord Hua. The man lost his balance and fell down, but then stood up again staggeringly.
"What's going on with me..." He raised his head with difficulty and saw City Lord Hua in front of him. He shuddered and opened his mouth, with his tongue falling out.
Wow... this tongue is more than one meter long, it’s really amazing!
The long-tongued ghost was obviously very scared. He tried hard to retract his tongue but couldn't do it. He was so anxious that he kept waving it around.
Cheng Hui's eyes twitched as he stood silently a little further away.
Ugh, so disgusting, saliva is flying everywhere.
City Lord Hua took a step back without leaving a trace, avoiding the long-tongued ghost's saliva attack.
I don't know if keeping distance helped the ghost calm down, but it was so unlucky that it finally managed to keep its tongue in.
"City...City Lord..." he stammered.
"What's going on?" City Lord Hua raised his chin and asked what was going on over there.
The long-tongued ghost couldn't help but shudder again, revealing a terrified expression: "I don't know what happened. At first, it seemed like I found a treasure, and then those people started fighting. Then... I suddenly smelled a very fragrant smell, like..." The long-tongued ghost's expression became dazed again, and his eyes gradually became dull -
Bang!
Lin Qingyang slapped him.
Cheng Hui looked at him in horror. Lin Qingyang said calmly, "Why are you looking at me? He's awake."
Cheng Hui took a look and saw that the long-tongued ghost, who had been gradually becoming dazed, had indeed regained consciousness. He touched his stinging cheek with a wronged look, and hung his head, not daring to speak.
Cheng Hui's gaze drifted away. Since the effect was good, he didn't need to worry about the details...
Unfortunately, the long-tongued ghost didn't know much, and based on his description, the magical fragrance made Cheng Hui think of that piece of meat.
He took out the piece of meat casually, and the long-tongued ghost, who had been awake just now, suddenly went crazy, pounced on him and bit his hand.
Cheng Hui: ...Fuck!
The Walking Dead for sure!
Lin Qingyang was furious when he saw this and kicked the long-tongued ghost on the chin. The long-tongued ghost closed its mouth fiercely, and it was not known whether it had bitten its tongue, but let out a scream.
“Puff…”
Cheng Hui turned his head to look at City Lord Hua and squinted at her, "Don't be so obviously gloating, City Lord!"
City Lord Hua suppressed his laughter and waved his hands: "You guys continue."
Fortunately, although this blow was cruel, it also reminded the long-tongued ghost. Seeing that Lin Qingyang was still eager to try, he waved his hands desperately and shouted vaguely: "It's done! It's done! Bu Yaoda again..."
"Continue talking when you wake up." Lin Qingyang was annoyed that this long-tongued ghost dared to attack Cheng Hui. Even if he woke up, he would not be nice to him.
"Okay, okay." The long-tongued ghost nodded desperately, but then he couldn't help but look bitter.
He had said everything he could say, he really knew nothing.
Fortunately, Cheng Hui and the others also knew that they could not get any information from this person, so they did not continue to force him, but instead studied how to solve this problem.
"What on earth is this piece of meat? Why is it so weird?" Cheng Hui looked at the piece of meat with blood in his hand. Except for the charred skin on the outside, it was a very fresh piece of meat no matter from which angle you looked at it.
Lord Hua also took the other half of the meat with great interest and looked at it for a long time.
She could still feel the fragrance that penetrated her heart and lungs, but because she was prepared in advance, the fragrance was not completely irresistible.
"Will others share the food after you eat this?" she asked the gossipy ghost.
The long-tongued ghost grimaced. "I don't know. At the time, the only thought in my mind was that the people who ate this meat smelled delicious. I wanted to eat them."
City Lord Hua flipped her wrist, and the half piece of meat disappeared. She said, "Let's go and see what's going on!"
After saying that, he jumped up, tapped his toes lightly, and disappeared in a few leaps.
Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang looked at each other, feeling helpless, and hurried to catch up.
The long-tongued ghost was left standing there in a daze for a while, then he suddenly started and ran as far as he could.
This kind of thing is not something a little gossip like him can get involved in, so he slipped away.
When City Lord Hua appeared on the battlefield, the fight had already reached a fever pitch. Many ghost cultivators even forgot to use spells and relied solely on their limbs and teeth to launch attacks.
She frowned, took a deep breath, and opened her mouth: Roar——!!!
The sound was like a huge bell. With a buzzing sound, the entire battlefield was swept by her sonic attack. Most of the ghost cultivators fainted, and only a few people could barely stay awake, but they were also shaky.
"Help them wake up." City Lord Hua gestured to Cheng Hui.
Cheng Hui: ...
He pointed at himself: Me?
City Lord Hua signaled with his eyes: "What else? I, the City Lord, can't do it myself, right? Go ahead, this is your time to show your effectiveness!"
Cheng Hui: ...
All right, he has to hold the thigh tightly even if he has to kneel down to hold it tightly. It’s just a slap in the face, he can do it!
Cheng Hui walked to the ghost cultivator closest to him, grabbed the man by the collar, and slapped him several times with his front and back hands. The ghost woke up immediately, glaring at him in a daze.
Cheng Hui threw the person aside and moved on to the next one.
Lin Qingyang also took the initiative to step forward to help him. Basically, after a few slaps, the person recovered.
Occasionally, some people would fight back angrily after being beaten soberly, but Cheng Hui's cultivation was not exaggerated. The ghost cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage had no power to resist him at all. From beginning to end, these people were unable to make any waves.
When these people woke up, whether they were silent or angry, they all fell silent after seeing the strange environment around them.
Some of them remembered what had happened before, while others were confused and had no idea what was going on, but without exception, they all understood that a big battle must have taken place between them.
Many people showed expressions of fear. Although they were all ghosts, it was a taboo for ghosts to devour each other, not to mention that they used that very primitive biting method. Some ghosts with more fragile minds could not help but vomiting.
Cheng Hui: ...I really vomited out all my internal organs.
"Are you all awake?" City Lord Hua asked coldly.
"I'm awake..."
The crowd responded sparsely. If they were still somewhat defiant in front of Cheng Hui, in front of City Lord Hua, they were as obedient as kittens.
"I feel ashamed for you!" City Lord Hua looked disappointed.
All the ghost cultivators lowered their heads, looking ashamed.
It's really embarrassing to find such a result in a treasure hunt.
City Lord Hua understood why these people fell for the trick. Firstly, their cultivation was relatively low. Secondly, as ghost cultivators, many of them had already lost their sense of taste and smell. The aroma emitted by the meat reminded them of the most delicious food in their memories, which was an irresistible temptation for them.
"Who was the first person to get that piece of meat? Take me to see where he got it from?" said Lord Hua.
No one answered for a long while. Finally, a ghost cultivator, worried about angering City Lord Hua, replied tremblingly, "The first person who ate the meat money was already dismembered..."
City Lord Hua also thought of this and suddenly felt a headache. "Forget it."
She grabbed a ghost cultivator and checked his body, but couldn't find anything wrong.
In other words, the effects of this meat are so magical that she couldn't even detect them with her level of cultivation.
City Lord Hua felt his head hurt even more. These cultivators were the backbone of Luowu City. If they all died here, the prices in Luowu City would inevitably fluctuate drastically, and the consequences would definitely not be what she wanted to see.
But it's not possible to just let them go like this. Who knows if they will start fighting again once they are out of sight?
The most terrifying thing is that if their meat also has the effect of the original meat blocks, these dozens of people will release dozens of bombs, which may destroy the entire Luowu City.
"It's so troublesome..." City Lord Hua hated dealing with this kind of thing the most. It was a pity that the third brother was not here, otherwise she could just be a hands-off boss.
There was a loud bang, and as the saying goes, before one wave subsides another slope arises, City Lord Hua had not yet figured out how to deal with these people when several thick vines emerged from the ground.
Hua City Lord: ...
Cheng Hui: ...Fuck, you're not done yet? Did I give you a chance?
Sure enough, the huge carnivorous plant soon appeared again, and those ghost cultivators fell into madness again.
But this time, they did not fight each other, but threw themselves into the big mouth of the Piranha Plant at the same time, one after another, in a very orderly manner, as if there was an invisible person directing them.
The aura of the carnivorous plant grew stronger and stronger as it devoured the ghost cultivators. In the blink of an eye, it broke through the simple stage and entered the half-step Nascent Soul stage.
Lord Hua was very experienced and knew the situation was not good at first sight. He didn't even need to use his □□ and directly took out the bow and arrow.
Cheng Hui also knew that if the carnivorous plant won, it would be difficult for him and Lin Qingyang to escape. Even if they escaped temporarily, they would either have to enter the underground palace and face countless skeleton soldiers, or be trapped to death in this ancient city that they could not leave.
He didn't want to choose either of these two options, so he chose to fight!
The carnivorous plant and City Lord Hua soon started fighting each other. The ghost cultivators still had no reaction and lined up one after another to jump into the carnivorous plant's mouth.
Facing a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, and this kind of thick-skinned and tough plant, Cheng Hui's ordinary attacks had little effect, so he could only help move those ghost cultivators and try to keep them away from the man-eating plant to prevent them from becoming enemies.
Perhaps because the three consecutive arrows were too powerful last time, the carnivorous plant learned its lesson well this time. A large number of vines continued to harass the city lord Hua, not necessarily trying to entangle her, but trying to make her unable to maintain her balance.
After several attempts, City Lord Hua still couldn't shoot the arrow in his hand.
Cheng Hui could also see that the bow of City Lord Hua was a good thing, and its continuous arrows were very powerful, but at the same time, its consumption was also extremely high.
If the attack misses, the next battle will be at a disadvantage, so Lord Hua will never take action unless he is sure of hitting the target.
Cheng Hui was wondering if there was any way he could help City Lord Hua. It didn't have to be much, just two seconds of not harassing City Lord Hua, and his bow and arrow would kill the carnivorous plant completely.
So...how on earth can he do it?
Cheng Hui suddenly had an idea and took out the half piece of meat. The ghost cultivators were so crazy about the piece of meat, so how would the carnivorous plant react to it?
