......

At this time, in the ravine southeast of Fengqing Village, the path is muddy and the shade is dense.

"Xu Mu, male, nineteen years old, fatherless and motherless, non-supernatural, born with great strength, hunting for a living, and at the same time the night watchman of Fengqing Village."

Yin Shui'er read Xu Mu's information while walking, and Xu Mu, who was holding a heavy dark compass with both hands at this time, staggered behind Yin Shui'er.

"Adults have a good memory." , Xu Mu replied.

"You didn't miss anything, did you?" , Yin Shui'er threw away the fruit she was gnawing in her hand, suddenly stopped, and turned her head to look at Xu Mu suspiciously.

Fengqing Village has complex topography and is an ancient village, to be exact, ancient refers to a tree.

It towered to the east of the village, with endless lines on the straight trunks of the trees, and many branches like the meridians of the human body, thick and large, covering the sky and the sun, no one knew when the tree was planted, maybe three dynasties ahead of the Great Xia Dynasty, or more.

The layout of Fengqing Village's village is a copy of this tree, so the arrangement of the houses is not even, it can be said that it is very chaotic, some houses are still built on the mountain, if it is an outsider entering the village, it is very easy to get lost, so she has to call Xu Mu to help her.

What Xu Mu is holding in his hand now is the Soul Seeking Compass refined by the General Division of the Demon Slayer Division, and all places with dark energy fluctuations cannot escape its detection.

And now more than half an hour has passed, and the compass has not moved at all?

"Definitely not!" , Xu Mu shook his head seriously, although the terrain is complicated, he will definitely not miss a place, as the night watchman of the village, he has not missed a single family in the night patrol when he can't see his fingers, not to mention that this is daytime.

"Oh, then keep walking, can you still carry it?"

Yin Shui'er's eyes are cunning, this spirit compass weighs five hundred and fifty catties, and it is difficult for ordinary strangers to control, although Xu Mu's file says "innate divine power", but she doesn't think that the latter's strength can be greater than that of strangers.

"If you have hands!"

Xu Mu held it hard, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, his back was soaked with sweat, and he squeezed this sentence out of his throat hard.

"Then you take it, and put it down when there is movement."

Yin Shui'er shrugged her shoulders indifferently, anyway, it wasn't her who was affected.

"I don't have time to talk to you."

Xu Mu pretended to turn his head disdainfully, and it was this turn of his head that made him see something very familiar.

"This is ......", Xu Mu suddenly put down the compass, and then squatted down to pick up the copper piece on the ground, his expression gradually became solemn.

"Its spots are convex, the surface has green embroidery, and the sound of bounce is light and brittle."

"It's a shard of bronze!"

Xu Mu was frightened, no one in this ghost place would refine bronze, except for the exorcism bell issued by the imperial court, he had never seen anything made of bronze.

"It's the material of the exorcism bell, that's right, you're more familiar with that thing than me, it can bear thousands of pounds of weight, and now it's broken like this, it's definitely not simple!"

Xu Mu analyzed solemnly, very shocked, even he couldn't break this thing, so in this Fengqing Village, who knocked the bell into pieces?

“......”

No one answered him, Xu Mu turned his head in surprise, but saw that Yin Shui'er had already picked up the compass and walked to the door of a house.

"The bell is broken here, so the clue is here."

Yin Shui'er shrugged her shoulders, held the compass in her left hand, kicked open the wooden door hidden on the side with her right leg, and walked into the courtyard.

"Well, be careful!"

Xu Mu's eyes widened, if something happened to the Demon Slayer Alien, he, an ordinary night watchman, could not afford it, this was equivalent to the sin of the Nine Clans!

"A hoe, a granary, a stack of firewood, some neatly chopped wood, a very clean yard."

Yin Shui'er observed, and Xu Mu soon followed, his expression still solemn:

"That's the problem."

"I remember the owner here is a widow, surnamed Sun, how could she cut such a neat piece of wood?"

Yin Shui'er nodded lightly, and was just about to speak, when suddenly a female voice came from the room:

"Who's coming?"

Xu Mu listened to a spirit, how could this sound like an old lady who was about to die, isn't Widow Sun only in her twenties!

"Answer her." , Yin Shui'er raised her eyebrows and walked straight in the direction where the voice came from, "Hurry up, just make up an identity and answer her!" Yin Shui'er saw that Xu Mu didn't speak, and said angrily.

Xu Mu stumbled: "I'm ...... I'm the king next door! ”

"Next door, Brother Wang, are you ...... Brother Wang next door? ”

The voices in the room were still old and intermittent, as if there was great confusion.

And when it spoke, Yin Shui'er had already walked to the middle of the courtyard.

"Brother Wang, isn't it in my arms?"

……

The people in the room finally finished speaking, Xu Mu stood in place, his face was stunned, he just said a name casually, and the result happened to be Widow Sun's good looks?

Well?

Suddenly, Yin Shui'er stopped suspiciously, and her phoenix eyes were staring at the window of the room.

Through the curtain, an eerie shadow was wriggling there.

Xu Mu came back to his senses, and then swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He also saw it, and he didn't know what it was, but he could vaguely see that it had long hair, and his hands seemed to be holding something that looked like a human, and the tongue in his mouth was still dancing in the air like a snake letter, and there was a human head hanging from the tip.

"Don't look like you've never seen the world."

Yin Shui'er's expression was casual, and she mocked slightly, she killed not a thousand or two hundred, even if this strange ghost seemed to have some origins, but it didn't make her have any psychological fluctuations.

Xu Mu ignored the other party's taunt, his nerves were highly tense, and his eyes did not move from the window for a moment.

He is different from Yin Shui'er, he is just an ordinary person, the lantern and the copper bell are not by his side, and in the face of the existence of the copper bell that can easily destroy the exorcism, he must be up to twelve points of spirit.

"Be careful!"

Suddenly, the monster in the room turned around suddenly, smashed through the wooden door with a "click" of its long tongue, and quickly killed Yin Shui'er.

And almost at the same time as Xu Mu spoke, Yin Shui'er's palm had already spread forward, and a dark blue water stream swam back and forth between his palms, like a small snake wandering in a pond.

"Go!"

Yin Shui'er pushed his palm forward, countless water elemental energy was devoured by the little snake, and its size skyrocketed countless times, the giant python moved forward, and the long tongue of the strange ghost pierced into the fangs of the water snake, and the two collided.

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, the long tongue was torn into countless pieces by the water snake like an egg hitting a stone, and the piece of meat fell to the ground, Xu Mu's eyes widened, and he was a little shocked in his heart.

"Where is this water, this is clearly pig iron!"

"Ahh The monster in the room quickly withdrew its tongue and screamed in pain.

Yin Shui'er then snorted coldly, not giving the other party time to breathe, and the gesture changed for a while, and the water suddenly turned into a giant hand, breaking through the wall with a bang.

"Come here!"

The palm of his hand firmly grasped the body of the strange ghost, and the latter did not have any ability to resist, so he was directly thrown into the air by the giant hand formed by the water element, and then followed Yin Shui'er's movements and smashed it to the ground.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, green blood splattered from the ghost's body, and her body twisted and she was severely injured, but she was still not dead.

Yin Shui'er squinted slightly, put her index fingers together, lightly buckled the bones of her little thumb, and shouted softly:

"Waterfall!"

The water elemental changed form again, and the big hand turned into a waterfall, and a steady stream of water elemental poured from the palm of the hand into the air, pouring down.

It was as if the water of the waterfall was rushing into the granite as violently, the sound was like thunder, and the weight was like a thousand pounds, and the ground was directly smashed out of a huge pit.

"It's so ruthless!"

Xu Mu hid to the side, watching in horror.

This is the strength of the supernatural, no wonder Yin Shui'er is not afraid at all when he knows about the copper bell!

"This level of attack is not at all the weight that the flesh can bear, and the bones of the mutated ghosts are not good!"

Xu Mu was a little yearning, this is the strength of the alien, he can mobilize the elements of heaven and earth at will without the help of magic weapons, he wants to simulate such an attack, and he has to carry the red lantern and chant the spell casually.

"It's the first time I've seen a strange ghost like this."

Xu Mu was silent for a moment, then leaned forward to carefully observe the bloated monster at the bottom of the pit.

Although it is not dead, it no longer has any ability to move, only to see its face hideous, but it can still see some of its original appearance, Xu Mu confirmed that this is Widow Sun.

It's just that after being infected, her belly became bigger than the water tank, and something squirmed in it, and her tongue, which was more than ten meters long, was also shattered by the impact of the water just now, and the green liquid flowed down, which seemed to be its blood.

A little sick to his stomach, the boy suddenly regretted eating so many leek buns at noon yesterday.

"The kind of walking dead that you night watchmen deal with are only the lowest-level aliens, and this kind of aliens who can still retain their life and desires after being eroded by dark energy are the ones we aliens are responsible for solving."

Yin Shui'er took a deep breath, the dark blue in her pupils gradually faded, and her face was a little pale.

After she became an Inhuman, her awakened ability was called "Elemental", specifically the Water Elemental, which belonged to the category of first-order abilities, so she was able to control the flow of water, and even condensed a small river out of thin air.

"The mutated characteristics of the alien are mainly determined by their desires before their death, the blind becomes a strange ghost, and the eyeball is bigger than the millstone, the lame may grow a third leg, and the waste of greedy food becomes the largest man-eating beast with the largest mouth."

"Huh?"

Yin Shui'er gave Xu Mu science, and suddenly frowned, because she saw the pointer of the soul-seeking compass on the ground, and actually jumped to the right side.

But obviously, the stranger has been killed by her.

"According to what you say, she is a widow, then what she desires the most, and what is easy to mutate is ......", Xu Mu did not leave the edge of the pit, still staring at Widow Sun's body suspiciously.

He was a little puzzled, a widow's greatest desire is a long tongue, what the hell is this?

Yin Shui'er's body suddenly froze, yes, she forgot one thing, what can a widow's greatest desire be?

"Child, she has a child in her belly, go away!"

Thinking of the sound of Brother Wang who had just entered the courtyard house, Yin Shui'er reacted immediately, this widow must be inappropriate in her daily life.

And the mutated long tongue is just an appearance, she is very lonely and has always wanted a child to accompany her, so the truly terrifying mutation is the child in the belly of Widow Sun!

Woola!

Widow Sun's bloated belly suddenly cracked.

A pair of small bright red hands with sharp claws broke free from it, like a nest of chicks longing for its mother to nurse.

The tropes are heartwarming, but they are actually very dangerous things.

The claws on the baby's little hands can easily cut through the fragile neck of a human being.

"Trouble!"

Yin Shui'er's heart sank, the ghost baby is the most difficult type of first-order ghost, its growth method is extremely harsh, and it needs a lot of human blood to feed.

And the blood that comes out of the mother's death is just the last bit of nourishment for their birth!

"You go quickly, I may not be able to keep you."

Yin Shui'er's face was ugly, her pupils turned dark blue again, and she rushed back to the battlefield at great speed, Xu Mu was knocked aside by her, and the water poured down in the air.

Babble!

The ghost baby's immature cry seemed to come from hell, sharp and terrifying, Xu Mu only felt that his eardrums were about to be torn, and he accidentally fell to the ground.

Yin Shui'er's long hair floated up, a lot of bubbles appeared in the river, and the water element became even more violent, she had to trap the ghost baby before it broke out, otherwise Xu Mu's life would be difficult to protect!

"Smack!"

But at this moment, a short blood shadow seized the opportunity, stretched out its claws and pierced the small river, rushing to the ground against the current in a fish-leaping posture, and rushed towards Xu Mu not far away.

Yin Shui'er's expression changed greatly, and she was very anxious in her heart, and quickly separated a hand to condense the flow of water, wanting to stop the ghost baby, but the other party's speed was too fast, and she was too close to Xu Mu, and she didn't have time to use the only effective ability!

At the moment when the ghost baby opened its claws and pounced, Xu Mu stopped and turned around, looking at his immature and terrifying eyes, and in an instant, his whole body was cold.

It seemed to be a chill from hell, and Xu Mu was sure that this ghost baby was more dangerous than all the beasts he had ever encountered!

"Babble!"

The ghost baby's hideous laughter filled the courtyard, and the long claws pierced the boy's shirt.

Xu Mu pulled out his hunting knife and wanted to fight back, but with his speed, it was impossible to complete the counter-kill at such a distance, so he could only die?

"Damn!"

Looking at the ghost baby in front of him, Xu Mu's pupils shrank to the extreme.

In a trance, he seemed to have seen the picture of his heart being dug open by the ghost baby!
