Chapter 299 Hunter in the Dark
The interior of the main house is spacious.
However, due to the limited supplies in Wuzang Village, Wei Hengbo and four other people and one dog only lit an oil lamp in the center of the room for lighting.
Originally, the light from the oil lamp allowed everyone to see every corner of the main house. Even if they couldn't see clearly, at least they could get a rough idea of it, and at least they could see if there was anyone hiding.
But the moment there was a knock on the door.
The house suddenly darkened. The edge of the room, which was very clear just now, suddenly became pitch black. The five people felt crowded in the spacious room.
The darkness in the corner is taking over their living space.
under the moonlight.
The monster is knocking at the door.
This was not a big danger. The monster outside must be fake, so they couldn't open the door for the monster. What really scared them was Aunt Miao's voice.
"Why don't you cremate me!"
Aunt Miao questioned with tears in her eyes, her voice full of resentment and dissatisfaction.
There was silence for a moment.
The big yellow dog circled around, but the air was filled with the stench of decay, and even its sensitive nose could not smell the location of the evil spirit.
Finally, Wei Qinglan spoke, his voice sounding a little weak.
"Aunt Miao, please don't be angry. We also want you to rest in peace, so..."
"Bullshit, I heard it all. That pretty boy surnamed Wu persuaded you to cremate me, but you refused. Do you know what you have done to me?"
Wei Qinglan looked confused.
"How can we know what it is like if you don't tell us? Tell us."
Wei Qinglan's voice was very clamped.
It was completely different from the temperament she had shown before.
She knew that evil spirits were the product of obsession and malice. Once they had the intention to harm someone, their malice would only grow over time and would not be dissuaded by conversation.
It is almost impossible to stimulate the good thoughts in the heart of evil spirits through psychological therapy.
Perhaps some evil spirits will have a good impression of humans because of their great good deeds, but that is only temporary. The evil spirits' malice will prevail sooner or later.
So she took the initiative to talk to Aunt Miao.
In fact, he was trying to delay time, activate Aunt Miao's desire to talk, and find ways to extract information from Aunt Miao to provide his brother with an opportunity to take action.
Wei Hengbo's eyes were sharp and his hand was placed on the hilt of the knife.
Where could she be?
On the beam?
Under the floor?
Or in the darkness around...
Aunt Miao's voice was vague and it was impossible to confirm her location. All I could smell was a faint odor of decay.
Tick tock!
Tick tock!
The moment you hear the sound of water drops.
Li Juxian and Wei Hengbo launched the attack at the same time. Because Li Juxian's fishing rod was longer, Li Juxian's fishhook arrived first.
But there was nothing there, just a puddle of water.
Wei Hengbo was observing carefully.
I found that there were a lot of traces of sewage around the room. These water stains should have been left by Aunt Miao. She was dragged into the well and killed by a water ghost, so she should have turned into a water ghost.
She was even able to enter the main house without making any noise, probably because she used her ability as a water ghost to sneak in through the crack in the door.
Following the stinking water trail, Wei Hengbo found a beam. The water trail spread upwards along the beam. Aunt Miao must have climbed onto the beam.
The two of them are still searching for Aunt Miao.
The conversation between Aunt Miao and Wei Qinglan was still going on.
“I’m rotten!”
"Like forgotten fruit in summer, it's rotten, covered with mold, and pus will flow out if you touch it. That's why I hate you. It's all your fault!" "My death has nothing to do with you, but my current fate is all the fault of you five."
"I could have been like Yang Bin and rested peacefully here, but you guys turned me into a rotting ghost. I don't feel well... and neither do you!"
Wei Qinglan was shocked.
Just as he was about to say something, Wei Hengbo pushed him away.
Then there was a whoosh.
The only light in the room went out!
It turned out that Wei Hengbo had just found Aunt Miao's location through clues and discovered that she was on the beam right above the oil lamp, trying to do something.
So Wei Hengbo, who was eager to protect his sister, pushed his sister away immediately.
But Aunt Miao's purpose was not to attack the people below, but to spit out a mouthful of water to extinguish the oil lamp. If Wei Hengbo had been a little calmer just now, he could have stopped her intention.
Unfortunately, Wei Hengbo didn't have time to think before his body moved.
As a result, the huge main house suddenly became dark, but fortunately the moonlight outside the window was bright enough that one could barely see something in the room.
But in this way, the monster knocking on the door outside seemed even more weird and terrifying under the moonlight.
next second.
The moonlight also disappeared.
It was not that the moon was blocked, but the monster under the moonlight, cooperating with Aunt Miao in the house, performed a method to block the moonlight.
As a result, it became pitch dark inside the main house.
Wei Hengbo took two steps forward immediately, grabbed his sister's hand, and held his sword in his other hand. His sword was slender and blood red, and was called the Blood-Drinking Goose Feather Sword.
This sword has killed countless people on the battlefield and gradually became spiritual. It drinks blood to increase its strength. The more people or evil spirits it kills, the stronger the sword becomes. However, when it reaches a certain threshold, the blade will shatter and can no longer be used.
Wei Qinglan unfolded the umbrella she carried with her.
This is the magic weapon she brought over from the previous blessed land through the constant position. It is called the 'Six-Patterned Magic Umbrella'. When each pattern on the umbrella is activated, it can withstand a certain amount of evil attacks. It can be said to be a top-level defensive magic weapon.
The brother and sister, one attacking and one defending, have a great chance of winning against a single evil spirit.
But it's a pity.
Aunt Miao had no intention of fighting them head-on.
Sweat began to appear on Wei Hengbo's forehead.
He suddenly realized that he had made a fatal mistake!
He shouldn't have sat back and waited for Aunt Miao to come and attack him!
Other evil spirits are also terrifying. They are like hunters, hiding in the dark and launching deadly attacks.
But at the end of the day.
Evil spirits and humans do not understand each other.
Humans don’t know the mechanisms of ghosts, and ghosts don’t know the abilities of humans. Comparatively speaking, perhaps humans understand evil spirits better.
But Aunt Miao is different!
She used to be a teammate of the family members. She knew that the family members had special methods, knew that she might not be able to defeat them in a head-on battle, and even knew their personalities.
In other words.
Now Wei Hengbo and the other five people are in a dark environment, facing a hunter who knows them very well, but they know nothing about him!
Who will the hunter choose to shoot first?
Wei Qinglan swallowed his saliva, Li Juxian gripped the fishing rod tightly, and the big yellow dog made a whining sound in its throat. Everyone was very nervous, and the knocking on the door outside made people even more irritated from the bottom of their hearts.
then.
They heard a violent scream!
This scream didn't come from any of the five of them, but...
That big yellow dog!
