Chapter 761, a surprise attack from the Yama Temple
I hurriedly dodged back, and a meat ball-like thing "bang" fell on the experimental table in front of me, followed by a click, and the meat ball actually bit the experimental table, and this bite directly bit down on the test bench A table board with a diameter of enough to be the size of a basketball!
I looked at the strange thing in front of me with wide eyes, its head somewhat similar to that of the Gollum in The Lord of the Rings. The few hairs on its head also hung down on either side of its head, but its head was larger and its limbs were shorter, and in stark contrast to its smaller limbs was its round beer belly.
The strange thing looked at me too, and then chewed up the table in its mouth and swallowed it into its stomach with a few clicks.
The yin energy on its body clearly shows that it is not a yang thing. I immediately shook my left hand at him, and the bell echoed throughout the lab.
The big belly grunted for a moment, as if the Soul Bell had worked on it. However, it was stunned for only two seconds before it barked at me with a large array of shark-like fangs, and then flew at me with the agility of a monkey.
I dodged to the side, then raised my left fist and slammed it into the back.
The monster jumped in mid-air and couldn't dodge, and my punch knocked him to the ground. The little monster threw up like an empty tattered leather bag, and all sorts of slime-covered pieces of iron, masonry, wood, and glass came out of its mouth. There's also a human hand mixed in there!
This thing eats people! I can't help it!
I already have the Soul Bell in my hand, so I can just test if it works.
So I silently recited a mantra in my heart, and then pressed my left hand on the back of the head of the big-bellied monster. As I pulled my left hand back, the monster's body suddenly dispersed into a mass of yin qi, and these yin qi was also attracted. wrapped around my hand. I shook my hand at the ground again, and the yin qi swooped into the ground.
Is this a hungry ghost in hell? Eat everything!
I was muttering to myself, when suddenly there was a loud thud on the walls of the laboratory, and soon a dozen holes appeared in the walls, and dozens of bald, big-bellied monsters like the one just now came out of the holes. The monsters rushed into the lab and immediately set their eyes on the pile of rubble that the monster had just spat on the ground, and then they all looked at me in unison.
That's a lot of money, but it doesn't pose any threat to me, so I immediately summoned Qiqi and the White Tiger. With these two big guys standing beside me, one on the left and one on the right, those little monsters would not dare to come near me.
I seem to be overestimating them a bit, though, and the little monsters, when they saw the two tigers appear, immediately burrowed back into the hole they had just opened in the wall.
"Chase!" I hurriedly pointed towards the hole in the wall, and Qi Qi and Hu Ye immediately rushed over, and then divided into two ways, one left and one right, and the soldiers went into the holes in the wall on both sides to pursue those little monsters. The entire lab fell silent.
I hurried to the bitten laboratory table again, but fortunately, the open bamboo box had not been eaten, and I immediately ran out of the laboratory and rushed to the staircase after picking it up.
Just as I was about to go upstairs, suddenly there was a loud bang from the top floor, followed by an exclamation from upstairs.
That's Zhao Hongjun's voice!
It was already night, and the building was already very quiet, which made Zhao Hongjun's voice sound extremely clear.
I hurriedly summoned the candle dragon and asked it to go up first to see what happened to Zhao Hongjun, and I followed closely along the stairs to the top floor.
But when I came to the top floor, it was obviously late, Zhao Hongjun was gone, and there was a big hole in the ceiling on the top floor, that hole was obviously not knocked out by the candle dragon, because at the edge of the hole I could clearly see the marks of teeth biting, it seemed that Zhao Hongjun seemed to have been robbed by the little monsters I saw just now.
"Those things are running to the city. Let the candle dragon come back to pick us up! ”
Xi Lin's voice came from the top of the large hole in the ceiling, and then he also looked at me from the side of the hole.
The roof of the shed was less than three meters high, and I grabbed the edge of the gap with a strong jump, and Xi Lin also came and pulled me and dragged me to the roof.
As soon as I went up, I shouted the name of the candle dragon into the air, and the big guy quickly flew back, and Xi Lin and I immediately jumped on its back, and then went to chase and capture Zhao Hongjun's things.
Fortunately, the location of the university is relatively remote, and there is still some distance to the downtown area, but the strange things that captured Zhao Hongjun move surprisingly fast, and the destructive power is amazing, and I can clearly see the "traces of crime" left by them along the way from the air - these things eat almost everything, whether it is land, stones, trees, or people, as long as they encounter it, they will all be gnawed away, and there are also several ditches three or four meters wide left on the ground from the university to the city.
"Are those things starving?" I looked at Xi Lin and asked.
"Yes, it should be the hungry ghosts in the hunger hell under the command of the second hall Yama, it is said that greedy and gluttonous people will be thrown into the hunger hell after death, and there is nothing to eat in that place, they can only eat each other, or eat themselves. But they don't die, and even if they are eaten, they will come back to life after a while, and they will be there to endure hunger. Xi Lin frowned and explained. Macro Claws are extensive.
"Have you seen the array in this box?" As I spoke, I threw the box I had just found from the lab table at Xi Lin.
Xi Lin took the box and froze after only one glance, it was obvious that he knew the thing.
"Seen?" I asked tentatively.
Xi Lin didn't respond, just stared straight at the box for a while, then closed the lid silently and threw the box back to me.
Judging by this reaction, I guess that this box is mostly related to the two old men, but given Xi Lin's irritable mood just now, I don't want to anger him anymore. So I didn't ask anything, just put the box away, and continued to turn my gaze to the ground, searching for the hungry ghosts.
After chasing for about five more minutes, I finally saw the hungry ghosts, which were densely gathered, forming a black cloud along with the yin qi on their bodies, and like locusts crossing the border, there was not a single grass left behind.
After a while, the black cloud split into three strands, separated by more than twenty meters from each other. The black cloud in the middle was the largest and faster, and it was the first to turn from the barren meadow to the road. Although it was already dark, there were still cars on the road, and these cars and the people inside would undoubtedly become food for the hungry.
I hurriedly urged the candle dragon to swoop down, ready to deal with the "big black cloud" in the middle first.
The candle dragon immediately gathered its wings and swooped down towards the ground, spewing out a ball of fire as it approached the black cloud. But the black cloud immediately dispersed to avoid the fireball, and then circled to the other side and gathered together again, almost like a school of sardines in the sea!
There were two cars coming from the direction of the city, one after the other, and we couldn't stop the two cars before the black clouds, so I asked the candle dragon to breathe fire and make the car turn around.
The candle dragon immediately obeyed the order to spit fire, but this time the black cloud split half to form a dense wall, blocking the flames spewed by the candle dragon, while the other half rushed towards the two cars in a flood of air. After the black cloud, there was nothing left on the ground except a deep ditch, and the car and the people inside were eaten to the point that there was no scum left!
Fortunately, the candle dragon's fire was something that these little things couldn't stand it, and it was just a fireball that burned these monsters to ashes, and then the candle dragon stopped them before the big black cloud continued to wreak havoc. Xi Lin and I jumped off the back of the candle dragon, and with the candle dragon, we quickly cleaned up all the remaining hungry ghosts.
However, Zhao Hongjun was not in the hands of this group of hungry ghosts, and the other two groups of hungry ghosts also took this opportunity to separate left and right and fled in different directions.
I'm not sure where Zhao Hongjun is, and I don't even know if he's still alive, but we still have to keep pursuing.
Xi Lin chose to chase the group that fled in the southeast direction, while Candle Dragon and I ran to the southwest direction to chase after them.
This time, the hungry ghosts seemed to have learned wisely, they no longer gnawed on the ground, as if they wanted to hide their whereabouts in this way, but the faint yin qi on the ground still marked their location, and the candle dragon could also sense their presence, and we immediately accelerated the pursuit.
In a few minutes, the candle dragon caught up with the hungry ghosts, but the hungry ghosts were significantly smaller than I had seen before, and they moved very slowly, as if they were deliberately trying to lead us over.
I was not polite to them, and immediately let the candle dragon chase after them and burn them to pieces with a breath of fire, leaving one alive for me to interrogate.
While the candle dragon was cleaning up the other fleeing hungry ghosts, I also used the newly learned spell to extract confessions from the hungry ghosts.
I don't know if it's because I'm not at home yet, but the hungry ghost doesn't seem to be afraid of me at all, and it even grins at me with that big mouth of horror.
They were obviously just a bunch of decoys, and I didn't want to waste time on them, so I simply pulled out its soul and let it turn into a cloud of yin qi and disperse into the earth.
Then I returned to the air with the candle dragon again, and flew as high as I could to find the whereabouts of the other hungry ghosts, and in the process of searching, a very bad idea also arose in my mind - these hungry ghosts did not act randomly to fill their stomachs, they were strongly organized, and deliberately separated me from Xi Lin.
Is this trying to break them one by one? Or is there some other purpose?
Although I don't know exactly what these hungry ghosts want to do for the time being, one thing I can be sure of is that there is something behind these hungry ghosts that is controlling and directing them, and I think this thing is very likely to have something to do with the second hall of Hades, maybe it is this Hades who instructs the hungry ghosts to attack people, and I can't remember the name of Hades.
