Chapter 8: Slaying Ghosts
After a few more days, the ranks of people fleeing the famine grew larger and larger.
And the sense of ominousness in Su Mu's heart became stronger and stronger.
Especially in the middle of the night, he always felt as if there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark.
Staring at him, the back of his spine was cold, and the cold air went straight up!
But as far as the eye can see, there are still hungry people except hungry people.
In the vast darkness, there is no special existence.
This couldn't help but remind Su Mu of the talent [Taiyin] he carried.
[Taiyin: The life of the great yin, easy to attract ghosts and demons]
In the past eight years, Su Mu had never encountered anything strange, let alone evil.
Over the course of several years, he gradually forgot about this skill.
But the encounters in the past few days have brought the skill of [Taiyin] back to Su Mu's sight.
Now it is a time of famine and chaos, countless dead and wounded, and the land is full of unjust souls.
The appearance of some ghosts and ghosts seems to make sense.
It's just that Su Mu doesn't know how to deal with those ghosts at all.
You can't expect all the ghosts and demons to fall apart after two steps like the little skeleton he turned into at the end of his last life, right?
Thinking of this, Su Mu's heart sank slightly.
The next road, I'm afraid it's not easy to walk!
……
Late that night, Lu Tianlang's family of four had already fallen asleep.
Only Su Mu, who lit a bonfire and kept vigil alone.
The flames jumped, illuminating all the radius of more than ten meters.
But farther afield, it's pitch black.
The overlapping shadows, combined with the faint smell of flesh in the air, make it impossible to tell whether those lying are humans or ghosts.
Looking at it, Su Mu suddenly felt a little dazed.
The light of the fire in front of me gradually became psychedelic, and a sense of sleepiness came up.
Just when Su Mu was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt someone approaching him again.
Su Mu trembled all over his body and woke up immediately!
"Who!"
Su Mu let out a loud shout and turned around suddenly.
At the same time, pull out the ring-headed broadsword and be ready to kill the enemy at any time!
"Ahh
The visitor was startled, took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground.
Su Mu fixed his eyes and saw that it was Lu Tianlang's eldest daughter, Lu Qingqing.
"What are you going to do?"
Su Mu asked with a blank face.
Lu Qingqing calmed down, and then said with some anger:
"Didn't I see that you were dizzy and drowsy, afraid that you would catch a cold, and wanted to cover you with a blanket?"
Su Mu glanced at the blanket in her hand and said:
"Thank you."
As he spoke, Su Mu put away the knife and reached for the blanket.
Lu Qingqing also walked forward, wanting to hand the blanket to Su Mu.
But at the moment of handover, Su Mu's ring-headed broadsword that was just about to be withdrawn suddenly swung out.
A knife as swift as wind and thunder slashed heavily at Lu Qingqing's neck!
"Poof!"
In an instant, blood gushed out.
Lu Qingqing's neck was cut off in half, and his head was tilted to the side, leaving only a few pieces of flesh barely supported.
"You ......"
Lu Qingqing's face was covered with blood, and she looked at Su Mu in disbelief, as if she didn't believe that Su Mu would make a move on her.
Su Mu's face was cold, and he waved his knife again without saying a word.
This time, Lu Qingqing's neck could no longer support it.
A beautiful head flew high.
……
"I can't cut off your head with a knife, and you still have to pretend that you are Lu Qingqing?"
When this "Lu Qingqing" first appeared, it gave Su Mu a strange feeling.
The feeling is faint.
However, coupled with the drowsiness that inexplicably surged up before, it was enough to make Su Mu's heart alarmed!
With his energy, how could he possibly doze off during the vigil?
It's all weird.
This Lu Qingqing, there is definitely a problem!
Therefore, he pretended to take the blanket, and really wanted to draw a knife and kill people.
didn't cut off the head of "Lu Qingqing" with a knife, which showed even more that the guy in front of him was definitely not Lu Qingqing.
Su Mu slashed with all his strength, and he could easily cut off the horse's head.
Not to mention the head of a weak woman who has no cultivation.
After the two knives were headed, Su Mu didn't care about the corpse anymore, but looked at the place where Lu Tianlang's family had rested before.
At this look, Su Mu's complexion changed greatly.
I don't know when the scenery around him has changed!
Lu Tianlang's family of four disappeared.
There was no sign of the hungry people lying around.
And, a thick gray mist rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Visibility is rapidly reduced.
In an instant, it seemed that Su Mu was the only one left in the whole world!
Just as he was suspicious, the headless corpse that had been beheaded just now suddenly moved.
It landed on all fours, crawling towards Sumu as fast as a large spider.
In a trance, this ghost thing is already running to his face!
"What the hell?"
Taken aback, Su Mu scolded in his heart, and he didn't have time to swing the knife, so he punched it directly.
"Bang!"
This powerful punch directly knocked the twisted headless corpse flying.
But instead of dying, it disappeared into the gray mist.
At the same time, a "rustling" sound sounded in the increasingly thick gray fog.
It's clear that there are more ghosts that are approaching Sumu!
At this moment, the visibility of the gray fog is already less than three meters.
In this environment, it is basically equivalent to being half-blind.
Su Mu could only rely on his other senses to locate these ghost things as much as possible.
The ghost thing in the gray mist did not directly attack Su Mu.
Instead, they surrounded him, constantly walking around and making strange "rustling" sounds.
In such a situation, it is easy to panic, panic, or even lose your bearings.
But Su Mu squinted, and then stood there relaxed and motionless.
He stood with his pestle, his eyes half-open and half-closed.
Those who don't know think he's napping.
Su Mu thought very clearly, in this environment, it is not a good choice to take the initiative.
Attack blindly, but the enemy will find a flaw.
Now what he has to do is to relax his vigilance, stay in good shape and be able to shoot at any time!
Defending and counterattacking is the best choice.
……
In the gray mist, there was a constant rustling sound.
The chaotic sound made it impossible to tell how many ghosts were surrounding Su Mu.
But Su Mu was unmoved, without the slightest fear or panic.
Little by little, time passed.
Finally, the ghost in the gray fog can't hold it anymore!
A sneaky figure, prostrate on the ground, almost stuck to the ground.
Under the cover of gray mist, it circled behind Su Mu and quietly approached.
The distance between the two is constantly decreasing.
5 m ......
3 m ......
2 meters!
1 meter !!
During the whole process, Su Mu seemed to be unaware and remained motionless.
However, when the distance between the two sides was only one meter, the ghost was about to make a move.
Su Mu moved first!
His eyes suddenly widened, and two rays of light shot out.
"Die!"
Su Mu shouted angrily and kicked the back of the ring-headed broadsword that was pestled on the ground.
The ring-headed broadsword swirled and flew over his head like a gale.
Accurately pinned the ghost that was about to attack him to the ground!
At the same time, Su Mu had just turned around.
He stomped on the ghost's head and pulled out his ring knife to take a quick look.
A few flashes of swords flashed, and the limbs and head of the ghost creature were all cut off.
That way, even if this thing can still move, there is no threat to speak of.
……
The whole process of slaying ghosts is clean and neat.
From kicking knives to sharpening human beings, it's just time to blink an eye.
An unknown ghost thing was folded in Su Mu's hand like this.
