Looking at the old woman in front of me dressed in a colorful funeral shroud, I got goosebumps all over my body. Her face was bluish-purple with some black spots, her white hair was sparse, her lips were dark red, and she was wearing a pair of red embroidered shoes.
Wang Yong took off running, but upon hearing the clucking of the chickens, he trembled and returned, picking up a shovel used for shoveling chicken droppings.
"Brother Wang, you can go back now. Leave this to me." I tried to suppress my fear, clutching a killing talisman in my hand, my eyes fixed on the old woman in front of me.
“Master Zuo… Master Zuo, she… she is…” Wang Yong did not leave, but gripped the shovel in his hand tightly and asked in a trembling voice.
“She’s become a zombie, or more accurately, a ghoul,” I said in a low voice.
"Then... what do we do now?" Wang Yong asked, trembling all over.
"Go back to your lodgings first. If a fight breaks out, I might not be able to look after you." I said softly, my eyes still fixed on the old woman in the flowery dress. "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on your chickens."
"Alright... Master Zuo, be careful." After saying that, Wang Yong hurriedly ran towards his residence.
The old woman in the flowery clothes saw Wang Yong leave, and with a stiff step, she wanted to leave.
I took a step forward and flung the annihilation talisman in my hand, which instantly stuck to the old woman in the flowery clothes.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
The moment the talisman touched her body, it burst into flames, burning a large hole in the old woman's body.
"Chirp chirp!"
The old woman in the flowery clothes made a strange sound, stretched out her stiff hand, and her sharp nails instantly lunged at me.
I quickly retreated, throwing out a handful of annihilation talismans at the same time.
However, these extermination talismans did not stop the old woman in the flowery clothes; they only made her pause slightly before she continued to pounce on me, brandishing her sharp claws.
I dodged the old woman in the flowery clothes' attack by using a fruit tree. My heart sank to the bottom. I didn't even need to use the annihilation talisman. How could this corpse demon be so powerful?
unless?
I suddenly realized something, and my expression changed drastically. The USB drive my grandfather left behind mentioned that corpse demons are similar to some ordinary ghosts, and the conditions for their formation are quite demanding. Unless there is something wrong with this pit, and someone has fed it human blood, it wouldn't be this powerful.
I suddenly remembered the blood I saw when I went to look at that big hole in the afternoon. Could it be that someone put it in there?
However, I didn't have time to think much at that moment. After missing its target, the ghoul turned around and pounced on me, as if it were hunting for delicious food.
I threw out two ghost-fixing talismans, but the moment they touched the old woman in the flowery clothes, they burst into flames.
In this chase, I ran out of talismans in my bag, while the old woman in the flowery clothes was unharmed except for the many holes in her shroud.
I was incredibly nervous. As I dodged, I picked up a large rock from the ground and smashed it directly at the old woman in the flowery clothes on the head.
The old woman in the flowery clothes neither dodged nor evaded, but still rushed straight at me, and the stone hit her on the head, but she was completely unharmed.
The old woman in the flowery clothes seemed invulnerable to knives and spears, and her claws were extremely sharp. The fruit tree I used as cover was scratched with grooves a centimeter deep. If she had scratched a human body, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Helpless, I took out a ghost-attracting talisman and stuck it directly on my body. Since I couldn't do anything about her, I thought I'd lure her away and then find a way to burn her.
When I stuck the ghost-fixing talisman on myself, the old woman in the flowery clothes paused for a moment, and then stopped.
I was drenched in sweat, and my back was ice-cold. Luckily, the ghost-summoning talisman worked, otherwise tonight would probably have been terrible.
But before I could catch my breath, I suddenly noticed the old woman in the flowery clothes twitch her nose and then lunge straight at me.
