I saw Wei Shengnan hand me the scarecrow and draw a dagger from her waist: "Use my blood!"
Wei Shengnan struck the jie drum and said in a deep voice, "No! To activate the Six Palaces Ghost-Locking Curse, one must use the blood of a person whose birth chart is extremely yin, or the blood of a woman. My destiny belongs to water, so I am the most suitable!"
Seeing the women around us getting closer and closer, I stopped talking and took off Wei Shengnan's gloves from her rat-clothes. I used a dagger to cut her fingertips, letting a drop of blood stain the talisman.
As the talisman stained with blood, the women who surrounded her moved more exaggeratedly, and the sounds of their headdresses became more frequent.
As those things drew closer, I pressed, "What should we do next?"
"Knock knock!"
Wei Shengnan continued to beat the drum, calming us down: "Wrap a red rope around the scarecrow's hands, feet, and neck, then throw it behind you!"
Among the four families, the Wei family specializes in exorcising evil spirits and warding off disasters. I know that Wei Shengnan has more authority to speak on the current situation than I do. She took out a red thread from her travel bag and began to wrap it around the scarecrow.
"Big brother, those female ghosts are here!"
Manjing, who was next to me, saw several female ghosts rushing towards him and immediately swung his knife, but it had no effect; his arm passed right through the female ghosts' bodies.
Ah~~~~
Ah~~~~
As the female ghosts drew closer, I heard screams of agony. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Manjing's movements, but my hands didn't stop: "Use the peach wood sword!"
Attracted by my shout, Lin Que gripped the broken peach wood axe and swung it forcefully behind me, yelling, "Big brother! Behind you!"
I turned around and saw that Lin Que's peach wood axe had just struck the female ghost.
In that instant, the female ghost, like a paper doll being cut into pieces, split in two and drifted down to the ground.
When Lin Que first saw the female ghost, he subconsciously treated her as a physical being, so he used a lot of force. As a result, after he finished chopping with his axe, he staggered and lost his balance, crashing into a rotting corpse next to him.
"careful!"
I saw Lin Que fall down and reached out to help him up, but as soon as I extended my hand, a female ghost grabbed my arm.
In an instant, I felt as if I had been thrown into icy well water on the hottest day of summer. I felt an unusually cold sensation from head to toe, and the hand felt like a large needle was drawing blood from me, causing me excruciating pain all over my body.
At that moment, the female ghost was gripping my arm tightly, only a step away from me, and I finally saw her face clearly under her headdress.
No!
To be precise, she didn't have a face at all.
Beneath the tassels of the headdress was a head that was completely bare, like a duck egg placed on its neck.
"roar!"
Just as I was feeling stunned, the female ghost's face suddenly split open, revealing a skinless, bloody face in front of me.
"Go to hell!"
I was startled by the female ghost's transformation. I threw the scarecrow away, drew the peach wood sword from my waist, and stabbed her fiercely.
"Thump! Thump thump!"
Seeing that the surrounding female ghosts were all drawn away by the scarecrow, Wei Shengnan struck the jie drum in her hand: "Everyone, calm down and stay around me without moving!"
I had barely recovered from the shock of getting rid of the female ghost when I heard Lin Que's terrified voice: "Big brother, look what this is!"
I looked down and saw that Lin Que had fallen to the ground, landing on a huge white pupa. Many colorful insects, like moths, were slowly wriggling on the ground and beginning to flap their wings.
Looking around, our cave had completely changed. The ground beneath our feet was covered with a layer of bone fragments that looked like sawdust, and there were also white pupae that were half a meter tall, which were where the corpses had been before.
"These corpses are disgusting! They crumble to pieces at the slightest touch?"
Jiang Man looked in Lin Que's direction, her brows furrowed: "Could it be that the thin membrane on their bodies is so strong that it can hold these rotting corpses?"
"Miss Jiang, what are you saying?"
Lin Que stared at Jiang Man in utter bewilderment: "This place is clearly full of insects! All those corpses are gone!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Shengnan's expression changed immediately, and she asked Lin Que, "You said the corpses here are gone? What did you see?"
"There are no corpses in this cave at all, only larvae!"
I swallowed hard and looked at the flying insects on the ground: "The reason we couldn't find the adult jade insects before was because they were all in this place. This is a huge wormhole!"
"What you saw was the same as what Lin Que saw? Then who is mistaken, us or you?"
Qu Ruilin turned to look at me: "Is it an illusion? A trick? Or did we really bump into something?"
“I don’t know either, but the female ghosts we just saw were definitely not the kind of resentment that accumulates in an ordinary ancient tomb. They were intentional. Whatever we saw, this place is extremely dangerous!”
I saw the moths on the ground begin to flutter their wings, and then I looked at the pupae in front of me that were wrapped in steel wire. I stretched out my hand to the Wei family members beside me: "The fact that Duan Jinyan and the others were able to wrap the steel wire around these things means that they didn't fall for this trick, but saw through the trick... Give me the flamethrower!"
"call!"
After I took the flamethrower, I pulled the trigger and fired at the flying insects on the ground. The sweeping flames instantly burned the insects to ashes.
Lin Que saw that the insects on the ground had all been burned to death by the flames, and shook his head vigorously: "Brother, what's going on? Which one is real, the one we saw or the one they saw?"
"It's hard to say. The fact that we can see different things is definitely related to our recent encounter with the female ghost. As for whether we've been tricked, they've been bewitched, or we're possessed, it's still unclear, and..."
I was about to continue talking to Lin Que when I caught a glimpse of the scarecrow I had just thrown out, which suddenly burst into flames without any fire.
Immediately afterward, Song Laosan roared, "Hey! Why the hell are these female ghosts coming back again? Wei girl, your scarecrow isn't working!"
"It's not that it doesn't work, it's just that there are too many ghosts and monsters here, and one talisman can't suppress so many evil spirits!"
Wei Shengnan looked seriously in the direction behind us: "Third Master, take a ball of red thread from my bag and wrap it around our feet! Use eight peach wood nails to support the red thread according to the Bagua directions!"
Seeing the others staring at us with suspicion, Lin Que shone his flashlight into the empty cave and turned pale: "Brother, tell me, which of these two groups is being blinded by a ghost?"
