The master leading the team heard the villagers' cries for help.
So he asked a few people to wait here first while he took a look at the situation. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to give these novice ghost messengers some actual combat training, but after a while, he lost contact with them.
"Almost."
Zhao Xiaodong glanced at his watch and stood up: "Retreat!"
He was very decisive and had a leadership temperament. The others also stood up. Although they were reluctant to believe that a powerful master would appear, the most important thing now was to leave here as soon as possible!
"There's a problem, combat alert!"
A tall man suddenly shouted, he was the one holding a stick of black incense, at this time the wisps of green smoke no longer rose vertically, but tilted in one direction, looking very strange.
Several people turned their heads and their pupils shrank suddenly.
A woman with a pale face was hanging on a tree not far away. Her eyes were bulging out, her scarlet tongue was sticking out, and she was staring at the group of people with a strange expression that seemed to be smiling but not laughing.
The woman's half-dress was bright red.
The aura it exuded made everyone stand on end in fear.
"Half blood-stained clothes?!"
“Run!”
“Run back!!”
Someone shouted desperately, his voice trembling.
A group of novice Yinchai started running for their lives. A thin young man ran a few steps and his neck suddenly hit a noose. With a "swish", he was hung on the tree.
“Help…Help…”
He held on to the rope tightly and shouted loudly, but the noose became tighter and tighter, making his face bloodshot and his eyeballs bulging out little by little.
The young man was unable to speak and his limbs were waving around. Suddenly, a voice that did not belong to him came from his body.
“It hurts! It hurts so much!”
His struggles stopped and he seemed like a changed man.
A pair of hands kept twisting, reaching from behind to above the head in a movement that went against common sense of human physiology, tightly grasping the noose, trying to pull it open.
“Hehehe~~”
However, a burst of woman's laughter was heard.
The noose suddenly tightened.
"Puff!"
The young man's neck was strangled on the spot, and the hot blood splattered on the faces of the novice Yincha. His head fell in front of a little girl, his eyes wide open, full of unwillingness.
"ah!!!"
The other person was so scared that he screamed.
Although they have undergone rigorous training and tests, and faced sneaky things head-on, they are not too afraid.
But the first time they went to the battlefield, they saw their teammates, who were talking and laughing before, died tragically in front of them. It was still a huge shock to everyone!
This was the first time, apart from the time when they sealed their companion ghost, that they realized so truly that being a ghost messenger could lead to death!
And no one knows when they will die.
A chilling aura emanated from the air.
Everyone used their sneaky powers and ran out even more frantically.
However, soon, two more teammates were hung up, and their necks were strangled in an even more horrific way. Their headless bodies fell to the ground, struggling wildly as if they were not yet dead. They looked both miserable and terrifying.
"No! No! No!"
Zhao Xiaodong seemed to have thought of something: "We've walked at least a thousand meters since we came in. This area is completely covered in woods. If we run back, we might all die here!"
"No, we can't do this."
"Everyone, run towards the village. There are no trees over there, so the Hanged Ghost's abilities might be weakened. Then, if the C-ranks join me and fight to the death, there's still hope of survival!"
Although he and Sister Qin both have a half-blood-robed-level companion ghost, if they want to exert this level of power, they must be willing to be devoured by the ghost.
Although it is possible to kill the hanged man at that time, it will add a more terrifying threat to the team.
Therefore, a half-blood-stained shirt was an almost unsolvable problem for their entire novice team.
Now we can only rely on guessing its killing patterns and fight to the death!
