Chapter 550 Ghost Corpse
Chapter 550 Ghost Corpse
Gao You and his accompanying bodyguard Xiao Wu also knew about the Guo family incident, but they were still very surprised when they saw the situation here with their own eyes, especially since Gao You had stayed here with Si He for a period of time before.
The change before and after is huge.
After arriving here, Si He gave each of them a piece of talisman paper for self-defense, and then led them towards the rockery in the backyard.
The road was pitch black, without any light around. Fortunately, the moon came out from behind the dark clouds, and the moonlight illuminated the night a little, but it also made the place seem more eerie.
Because in the moonlight, they saw a faint black mist surrounding them, making it hazy. Although there was nothing else, the two of them became even more nervous.
In contrast, Si He walked calmly in front, but after a while, she stopped and turned to look to the side. There were some faint sounds coming from there, like human voices?
Si He frowned slightly. That was the direction of Fuhe Hall. Judging from the sounds, it seemed like a ritual was being performed. In addition to human voices, there were also some metal knocking sounds.
Because the distance is a bit far, the sound is not very clear.
Gao You and the other person turned around and looked, and also heard the movement over there. Such sounds, in this gloomy environment, made the place seem even more eerie.
After thinking for a while, Si He continued walking towards the rockery, with Gao You and the others following closely behind.
When they reached the rockery, Si He asked the two to wait there while she walked alone towards the path leading to the rockery.
The dim moonlight shone on her, and her figure was blurry. Every step she took brought some strange black fog around her. She walked towards the dark rockery, as if she was walking into a strange place, and the black fog seemed to be about to swallow her up at any time.
Gao You and the other man clenched their swords, staring at her figure and paying attention to the movements around them.
At this time, Si He suddenly stopped and stood a few meters away from the rockery.
"Tread, step, step..."
Suddenly, a strange sound of footsteps was heard in the rockery. The sound was not loud, but it was extremely clear in the quiet night.
Gao You and the other man opened their eyes wide, gripped the hilts of their swords, ready to draw their swords at any time, their whole bodies tense.
Then they saw a dark shadow slowly walking out of the rockery, but the light was too dim and they couldn't see clearly. However, they could feel that after the figure appeared, the atmosphere around seemed to have changed.
Si He stared at the figure with narrowed eyes. After not seeing it for several days, it had changed a little.
Although Mrs. Guo's skin was still covered with corpse spots, the previously rotten areas had healed and the foul smell had faded a lot.
In addition, the originally pale eyes now had a faint green light, which was particularly creepy when they looked at each other.
It slowly walked out of the rockery. When the moonlight shone on it, its figure became clearer. The pale light seemed to add a thin layer of corpse wax to it.
The fake mountain entrance was like an exit to hell, and it was like a ghost corpse walking out of hell, with strange and cold black air lingering around it, which was extremely terrifying.
When Gao You and bodyguard Xiao Wu saw the ghost corpse, they couldn't help but widen their eyes and their bodies tensed up.
Xiao Wu didn't recognize the ghost corpse, but Gao You recognized it as the old lady of the Guo family!
Previously, there were only rumors that Madam Guo was seriously ill, but no one expected her to become in such a horrible state!
After seeing the ghost corpse, Gao You and Xiao Wu finally understood why Si He was always unwilling to take them with her. This situation was indeed something only she could handle, as they did not know how to exorcise evil spirits.
At this moment, seeing that the ghost corpse did not attack Si He, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they were also very curious about what she had done and why she came here.
"Ho, ho—"
"Mrs. Guo" called out twice in a low voice, and her voice seemed to reveal a sense of restraint. Her face was ferocious, as if she was also enduring something.
Looking at its appearance, Si He knew that her control over it had weakened a lot compared to before. It was like a beast about to break free from a cage and could attack her at any time.
It seems that the spiritual essence bead it took before greatly increased its strength, and it also escaped the pursuit of the Taoists.
However, seeing its increasingly ferocious appearance, it was not far from losing control, because its body needed blood to feed on. It was now a ghost corpse, not a bodyless evil spirit.
The spiritual essence not only greatly increased its strength, but also made it more closely connected with this body.
When people are hungry, they need to eat. When ghost corpses are hungry, they also need to eat to nourish themselves. They need to eat blood, just like the residual soul before needed to eat souls.
It was trying hard to control itself from pouncing on Si He. Then, its gaze slowly turned to the two people not far away. In an instant, its face became even more ferocious. When it opened its mouth and growled, it revealed a mouthful of black fangs.
Being targeted by it, Gao You and Xiao Wu were both startled and almost drew their swords subconsciously, but it did not attack. Instead, it suddenly turned around and ran to the side at an extremely fast speed!
Si He immediately followed, and Gao You and Xiao Wu had no choice but to follow behind.
Now the entire Guo family is under formation, and there are many treasures suppressing it, so it can't get out at all, but there are more than just the three of them here!
The direction it ran was towards Fuhetang, where there were quite a few Taoists.
Just because it can't deal with Si He, doesn't mean it can't deal with those people!
Si He watched it running very fast and disappearing into the darkness in a blink of an eye, but she did not chase it too closely. Instead, she deliberately kept a certain distance and followed it neither too far nor too close.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the wall of Fuhe Hall and heard the sounds of fighting coming from inside. Gao You and Xiao Wu quickly moved a few chairs nearby to use as cushions, and then they stood in a secluded corner to observe the situation in the yard.
"Quick! Stop it!"
"Where was this vicious corpse hiding before? Why did it suddenly appear again?!"
"Boom, boom, boom—"
"Help me—"
……
There were only five Taoists in the yard, and they were fighting fiercely with "Old Madam Guo". Three of them were knocked to the ground by her, making such a loud noise that they were almost stunned.
The other two people kept attacking it with talisman paper or treasures, but the talisman power contained in these things was not enough and the effect was not strong enough, so they could not cause much damage to it and could only delay its attack.
The talismans hit it, igniting balls of dazzling flames. Its ferocious face looked even more terrifying under the light of the flames.
The talisman fire burned its body, but it easily extinguished the fire with a slap of its hand.
The two Taoists could only continue to attack it and keep dodging.
"Boom boom boom——"
Balls of yellow talisman fire hit its body, causing it to roar loudly.
"Ho-"
The terrifying ghost screams were extremely loud, echoing through the night.
