Chapter 337
The eyes of the female ghost in the smoke revealed an infinite amount of ferocity. If the female ghosts encountered before had hatred in their eyes, then the female ghost at this moment had completely given up her rationality and only wanted to kill everyone in front of her.
The bonfire was still burning, and thick smoke continued to gather on the female ghost.
Starting from the ghost girl's head, it slowly spread downwards and gradually formed her body.
Cheng Hui instinctively felt something was wrong, and Lin Qingyang also warned at the same time: "Interrupt her!"
Cheng Hui kicked the bonfire away, revealing the charred and dried corpse underneath.
The ghost girl's body was indeed hidden under the bonfire.
Lin Qingyang guessed right, but he did not feel relieved. Normally, if the body of a ghost is destroyed, the ghost should suffer great harm. However, after the body of this female ghost was burned, she became even more powerful. This is not normal!
The ghost girl only condensed her upper body, yet her size swelled beyond recognition. It was as if the smoke, having lost its source, desperately pressed into her body, stretching it until it could no longer hold any more, and then forming numerous vine-like tentacles around her lower body.
Cheng Hui: ...
The ferocious head, the huge body, the countless tentacles... Cheng Hui felt that he urgently needed a san judgment.
It's an eyesore!
This female ghost... no, monster, even if she hasn't transformed into her complete form, is several times more powerful than an ordinary female ghost.
Fortunately for Cheng Hui, even if this female ghost was several times more powerful, she would not be enough for him to defeat.
Don't panic!
Lin Qingyang had been following closely behind Cheng Hui. Seeing that the female ghost was gradually taking shape, he couldn't help but push Cheng Hui away and wanted to stand in front of him.
However, he pushed - nothing happened.
Lin Qingyang: ...
Before he could do anything else, Cheng Hui had already stood in front of him, facing the deformed female ghost.
"roar!"
The female ghost roared angrily, opened her mouth towards Cheng Hui, and revealed a mouthful of sharp teeth.
Cheng Hui's eyelids twitched and he clenched his fists. Seeing that the long tongue with saliva was about to stick to his face, he was about to punch it hard in the next second.
"Evil beast! Have you forgotten what you were going to do?" A voice suddenly came.
The female ghost froze, and a hint of clarity appeared in her violent eyes.
Before Cheng Hui could be surprised, he saw the female ghost leap up and run towards the center of the village.
"What's going on?" Cheng Hui was stunned.
I thought there was going to be a big battle, but the enemy suddenly ran away.
He and Lin Qingyang looked at each other, both puzzled.
But soon, Lin Qingyang realized: "That female ghost must have gone to find the village chief!"
Cheng Hui also thought that if you were to ask who this female ghost hated the most, it would definitely be the village chief's family.
She was a good girl who married in, took care of the household, and was filial to her parents, but what happened? People didn't ask for her filial piety, but her life.
Not only did they tarnish her reputation, they also wanted to take her life. No one could tolerate this.
"Then...should we..." Cheng Hui hesitated.
To be honest, he had no intention of rescuing the village chief.
The reason is simple: he deserves to die.
As the saying goes, a life is for a life. Since this family has killed someone, they shouldn't blame the other person for turning into a ghost and taking revenge.
His only worry was that the female ghost would completely lose her mind after killing someone and implicate other villagers.
Although those villagers turned into monsters after falling asleep, they were only gossiping and eavesdropping. They looked a bit scary, but their crimes were not punishable by death.
He looked up and looked around. The person who spoke earlier had been silent since he finished speaking, and he didn't know where he was hiding. If they left, there was no telling what would happen here.
Cheng Hui did not plan to divide his troops.
Everyone knows that in horror movies, splitting up the troops basically means sending food to the enemy. Especially since Lin Qingyang still hasn't remembered his identity as a cultivator, if he really encounters any danger, it will be bad.
At this time, Uncle Zhang came over tremblingly: "Just now... was that Taoist Priest Ciyun?"
Cheng Hui was stunned for a moment before he realized that this 'Taoist Master Ciyun' should be the Taoist priest who lived in the backyard of the village chief's house.
"Did you hear correctly?"
Uncle Zhang hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "It should be him."
Lin Qingyang smiled coldly: "It seems that this Taoist priest who has been in seclusion is not so honest. Maybe this female ghost is his doing."
Not to mention, Lin Qingyang's speculation actually makes sense. In the entire village, most of the villagers are background characters. The only ones who really have roles and participate in it are the village chief's family and those two.
The young Taoist boy Zhengxing was too young, and through our interactions with him, he didn't seem like someone with such scheming intentions. In comparison, the Taoist Master Ciyun, who had been hiding behind the scenes, was more likely the person behind the scenes.
It's still unclear whether this is the real culprit. After all, it's already been established that the village chief and his family are not good people. This Taoist priest Ciyun's methods may be a bit evil, but what if? What if his methods are just evil, but his purpose is just?
At least, the female ghost wanted to attack them just now, but was stopped by the other party.
He even thought of not implicate innocent passers-by, which shows that Taoist Ciyun may not be a bad person.
"Master Ciyun, please show yourself."
Cheng Hui felt that no matter what, it was necessary to meet with this Taoist priest.
However, he called out several times but the other party did not respond.
Cheng Hui was also helpless. If Taoist Ciyun came out, he could solve the problem with one punch, but since the other party was hiding and not showing up, he actually had no other way.
"Let's go to the village and take a look." After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Hui decided to go back and take a look.
He didn't care what happened to the village chief's family, but he did care about those enthusiastic villagers.
He stood by the almost extinguished campfire, looking out at the dark woods around him.
When he came here, he also felt a sense of being watched in these woods. At that time, he was still in a state of amnesia and felt very scared. Now it seems that there may be many places in this dream that he needs to explore.
"Wait for me..." At this time, Uncle Zhang didn't dare to separate from them no matter what.
That terrifying female ghost just now almost scared him to death.
He was a man who had seen the world, and he still had some fantasies about female ghosts. After all, in the story books, female ghosts were mostly voluptuous ghosts, and they would often have some stories with scholars that had to be told.
However, the bizarre appearance of the female ghost just now was really beyond his imagination.
He felt that he would never be able to look directly at those erotic novels again...
The three of them returned to the village chief's house along the same route. The female ghost was huge, and her dense tentacles left a lot of traces on the ground, so there was no worry about losing her.
However, the snake-necked human heads and wall-shaped coins that were wandering around the village before have disappeared. The villagers are hiding in their houses one by one, without any signs of life, as if they are dead.
"Be careful, I think something is wrong..." Lin Qingyang reminded softly.
Cheng Hui also noticed it, nodded, and looked around vigilantly.
Soon, they arrived at the village chief's house again.
At this time, the village chief's house had changed a lot. The original high wall had disappeared, leaving only rubble on the ground.
It turned out that those large blue brick and tile houses had turned into strange-shaped stones, with large amounts of blood splattered on top, emitting a strong fishy stench.
In the lush vegetable garden, the plants withered and rotted, and the soil slowly flowed to the sides, revealing piles of corpses underneath.
Cheng Hui took a look and couldn't help but look away.
The corpses were incomplete, black liquid was oozing from the rotten flesh, maggots were crawling on the corpses, but all the corpses remained with their eyes open.
Cheng Hui only took a glance and discovered that there were at least hundreds of bodies in the sea of consciousness below.
In other words, all the villagers in the village should be there, and he saw many familiar faces.
"All destroyed..." Cheng Hui sighed.
If he had the chance, he would have saved these villagers, but unfortunately... even in his dreams, these villagers had already died long ago. He just didn't know what those snake-necked human heads and wall mouths were...
Boom——
There was a violent vibration. Cheng Hui looked up and saw that the strange female ghost was fighting with a huge stone man.
The village chief and his family... seemed to be still alive, hiding behind a house in the distance, watching the situation here.
The three members of their family were all there, except for the girl named Qinghe.
The deformed female ghost and the stone man fought fiercely, and the falling gravel and tentacles could be seen from a long distance away.
The female ghost would let out sharp and piercing howls from time to time, causing a dull pain in the ears of the listeners. The stone man remained silent, but judging by the frequency with which the stones fell to the ground, he didn't seem to be getting any good results either.
"Could that be the Stone Immortal?" Cheng Hui asked uncertainly.
"Maybe." Lin Qingyang responded casually, seeming a little distracted.
Seeing Cheng Hui turned to look at him, he explained, "I was wondering where Qing He went."
"Maybe she's still in the cabin? Why did you think of her?" Cheng Hui was curious. Since the current situation on the battlefield didn't seem to require his involvement, he simply watched the fun from the sidelines.
Whether it is the stone man or the female ghost, they are essentially threats. Now that they are fighting, Cheng Hui doesn't mind being the one who takes advantage of the situation.
"I'm just thinking about one thing." Lin Qingyang pinched his chin and thought: "The whole thing is ultimately to save Qinghe. You can say that she is the biggest beneficiary of this matter. Now, even the Stone Immortal and the female ghost have started fighting, so why didn't Qinghe show up? Isn't she worried that the Stone Immortal will lose and she will be killed by the female ghost? Or does she have special confidence in the Stone Immortal?"
boom--
Before Cheng Hui could answer, the battle between the Stone Immortal and the female ghost had come to an end.
In the end, it seemed that the deformed female ghost was more powerful and tore the stone immortal into pieces.
The ghost girl's victory meant that the lives of the village chief and his family were on the countdown, but Cheng Hui was shocked to find that the village chief and his family, who were hiding not far away, did not show any panic on their faces, but instead showed a determined smile.
Do they have any other tricks up their sleeve?
Just as Cheng Hui was thinking, the female ghost who was rushing towards the family of three suddenly let out a shrill scream.
She covered her chest in pain, screamed continuously, and rolled on the ground.
Cheng Hui was really shocked.
Who could have imagined?
The female ghost who was thought to be the final winner fell down when she was about to take revenge!
"Hahaha! Idiot! Do you think you still have a chance to turn things around?" Qinghe suddenly jumped out of a house with a shrill laugh.
In her hand, she held a beating heart, and she was constantly stabbing the heart with a dagger.
Every time she poked it, the female ghost would scream. Obviously, the heart was the key to her being controlled by others.
