Chapter 28: Breathe a sigh of relief
Jumping under the broken bridge, Zhou Qing stood on the other end of the bridge after taking a few steps, chasing the ghosts.
After running for a moment, he saw a huge goblin parked not far ahead, holding a bloody beast corpse in his hand and sending it to his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Qing waved the wine bottle in his hand and threw it at the ghost, and at the same time pinched a sacrificial fire trick in his hand, and the talisman on the wine bottle burned.
"Boom~"
After the talisman fire burned, the wine bottle exploded with a bang, and a ball of fire was scattered in midair.
The devouring goblin saw the sudden firelight, and its huge body trembled and took a step back, obviously frightened by the sparks.
After the firelight disappeared, the ghost saw Zhou Qing who turned around and wanted to flee not far away.
This completely angered the ghost, and it smashed the bloody half-beast corpse in its hand directly at Zhou Qing, and at the same time let out an earth-shattering roar, chasing after Zhou Qing.
"Smack~"
A mess of rotten flesh smashed in front of Zhou Qing who was running in a hurry, and the blood stains on it splashed all over him, he jumped up with both feet at the same time, jumped directly from the beast corpse, raised his sleeves to wipe the blood stains on his face, and ran forward without looking back.
Just like last night, chasing and escaping, Zhou Qing soon came to the broken bridge, after he jumped off the bridge and ran to the other side of the bridge, the figure of the ghost also chased him to the other side.
At both ends of the broken bridge, one person and one monster stopped at the same time for some reason.
Zhou Qing stopped because he felt that the ghost behind him did not jump off the bridge to catch up, and the ghost stopped because he was worried that Zhou Qing had an ambush like last night.
"Come on, brute, you have the ability to tear me apart. Seeing the ghost stopped on the other side of the bridge, Zhou Qing picked up a stone and smashed it at the tall figure on the other side.
"Master once said that the newly formed ferocious ghost is a thing without intelligence, why is this one so smart?"
Muttering to himself in his heart, Zhou Qing picked up a stone and smashed it on the other side of the broken bridge.
This time, the ghost let out a roar, but still didn't chase after it, seeing this, Zhou Qing's mind turned sharply, and then he let out a long sigh, turned around and left slowly.
After walking a short distance, he heard the sound of heavy objects falling on the stone pile behind him, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, "Sure enough, it's a beast without intelligence, and a little desire to capture and indulge in you will lead you up." ”
When he heard the sound of chasing behind him, Zhou Qing's originally slow steps accelerated to the maximum in an instant, and he quickly ran towards the dirt pit he had set up.
"Ao~"
The ghost chased after the broken bridge, let out a series of angry roars from his mouth, and then chased Zhou Qing with all his strength as he did last night.
After running for a while, Zhou Qing came to the edge of the pit, and according to the marks left before, he rushed directly from the thin plank in the middle of the pit to the opposite side of the pit.
This section of the road was paved with thatch, and when the ghost first reached the road on the edge of the thatch, he stopped and tried it, and found that there was nothing unusual under his feet, so he stepped on the thatch and continued to chase after him.
When the goblin had taken seven or eight steps on the thatched pavement, he felt empty under his feet, and stepped on the deep pit at the front of the road.
With one foot in the air, the goblin's huge body slammed into the ground as if it had tripped last night.
In addition to the thatched grass in the pit, there were many porcelain bottles and earthen jars for wine, which were not sturdy and shattered in an instant after the ghost's huge body was pressed down.
Almost at the same time as the sound of shattering behind him, Zhou Qing, as he did last night, used the paper talisman as the fire guide, sacrificed the talisman and burned the talisman, and threw the fire talisman in his hand into the earth pit.
The fire talisman fell into the pit, and as it was sprinkled with wine, it spread in an instant, igniting a monstrous flame, and at the same time, the bottles that were on the edge, uncrushed by the goblins, exploded when they were on fire.
"Ah~ah~" In the dirt pit, the ghosts who got up from the ground made a terrible sound.
Not far away, Zhou Qing picked up a few wine bottles from the ground, smashed them all on the ghost's huge body, and then retreated to the unpaved pavement.
Just like last night, after getting up from the ground, the ghost was already covered in flames, and he let out a crazy strange scream from his mouth, and then rushed towards Zhou Qing.
After the ghost got up, Zhou Qing began to retreat sharply, although the ghost ran extremely fast, but Zhou Qing's speed was not slow, and soon he retreated along the road to the edge of the small village.
The goblins behind him were still chasing him, driving him to the end of the village, before the goblin let out one last scream and fell to the side of the road, crushing a village house directly.
Hearing the movement behind him, Zhou Qing turned his head to look back, and saw a charred black ghost lying on the ground motionless, so he immediately stopped and slowly leaned towards him.
After approaching, Zhou Qing threw a burning wine bottle at the blackened ghost, and was relieved to see that it was still motionless.
Although it was a twist and turn to clean up this ghost, and the process was extremely dangerous, for now, it was finally removed.
If it weren't for the fear that this ghost would go to Jinling County to cause harm in the future, Zhou Qing would not have taken care of this idle matter.
Holding on to the wall, he stretched out his leg and kicked the motionless ghost's body, Zhou Qing found that the hardness of the fierce ghost's body was indeed as his master said, because he felt as if his feet were kicking on a stone.
The ghost was silent, and Zhou Qing sat on the ground against the wall, exhaled, and raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
At this moment, in the distance of the village, there were several fires slowly approaching the direction of the village, and after a while, Zhou Qing found that it was several men from the village, holding torches and wanting to go back to the village to see the situation.
When they saw the huge ghost that fell motionless on the ground, they looked at Zhou Qing with a bit of awe in their eyes.
"Chief, this is the monster you are talking about, I didn't expect it to be so huge. A villager held a torch and took a closer look at the blackened ghost.
"Thanks to the long trail, if it weren't for you, my village would probably be ...... tonight."
"yes, this monster is too big for us to handle. ”
A few villagers said a few words, and then one of them led Zhou Qing to one of the villagers' houses to rest, while the other went out of the village to report to the villagers outside.
In the middle of the night, all the villagers of the small village returned to the village.
After returning to the village, the village chief invited Zhou Qing to his home, asked what to do with the huge corpse of the fierce ghost, and then prepared some sumptuous meals for him.
After a full meal, Zhou Qing, who was very tired, fell asleep in a guest room of the village chief's house, and slept directly until noon the next day.
After waking up, when Zhou Qing pushed open the door, the village chief greeted him.
"Little Dao Chief, as you said, the monster's corpse melted when it met the sun. ”
Zhou Qing nodded with a smile when he heard this, walked out of the house and looked up at the sky, and said to the village chief, "The matter here is over, so I won't bother the trail much." ”
"We can't repay the great kindness of the small road chief, your trip back to Jinling County is quite a long way, I will arrange someone to send you back. ”
