Chapter 109 The Night Walk of Two Ghosts
At dusk, the setting sun was like blood.
Su Yu stood in front of the largest tile-roofed house in Wangjia Village, summoned his three subordinates, and assigned them tasks.
"Tonight I will lay my bait here; success or failure hinges on this!"
Looking at the gloomy tiled house, Song Jing clasped his hands and said, "Your subordinate obeys!"
However, he had some doubts: would the bait the adults mentioned really work against the supernatural?
Two nights in a row have yielded nothing. If we can't find even a single strange clue tonight, this mission will be a complete failure.
If the first attempt fails, things will only get more difficult later on.
Zhu Rui snorted through his nostrils, his face full of disdain.
Playing tricks!
What bait? It's just an excuse to save face.
If such a thing existed, the rest of the enforcement team would have already made a name for themselves.
Su Yu saw Zhu Rui's expression and knew what he was thinking, but he remained calm.
To deal with him, we can't be too obvious, otherwise the Zhu family will definitely seek revenge later, causing a lot of trouble.
Since Song Jing volunteered, let's see how he does it.
Su Yu pointed to three locations around the tiled house: "Song Jing, the three of you stand guard on these three sides. If there is any movement, provide immediate support."
"Understood, sir!"
After arranging things for the group, Su Yu headed into the tile-roofed house to prepare the Black Stone in advance.
Song Jing's eyes darted around, and he smiled, saying, "Brother Zhu, the houses in the south-facing locations have the best living conditions! And if anything strange does happen, it'll be a windfall. With Brother Zhu's abilities, you'll definitely come out on top!"
Zhu Rui frowned. That's what he said, but if something really happens, this place is probably the most dangerous.
However, he immediately chuckled.
Did I really believe that Su Yu would lure me in with his so-called bait?
How is that possible!
We've had two days of fruitless work, and nothing will happen tonight either.
It should be noted that even the commanders at the Tendon Forging Realm had been dispatched several times before, but all had returned empty-handed.
Who does Su Yu think he is, that he has some real ability?
Night fell, and dark clouds gathered.
In the pitch-black darkness, only the howling wind could be heard, like the wailing of ghosts and wolves.
Zhu Rui sat on a dilapidated chair, initially trying to stay alert, but as time passed and the surroundings became deathly silent, with nothing happening, his eyelids began to droop.
"What a terrible job—I'm freezing to death!"
He cursed Su Yu in his heart, his consciousness gradually blurred, and he eventually fell into a deep sleep.
In my dream, the warm room was filled with fragrance.
-
"Young master~"
A charming voice rang in her ears, and her personal maid, Green Moth, approached with a smile, carrying a plate of exquisite osmanthus cakes.
"Green Moth has brought you your favorite osmanthus cake. Would you like to eat the osmanthus cake first, or the Green Moth?"
Zhu Rui's heart burned with desire. Looking at the outstretched, fair hand, he opened his mouth and said, "Hehe, this young master wants them all—"
A thought flashed through his mind.
This is the kind of life I should be living. Following those peasants on missions outside has no future.
But why does it have a strange smell? It seems a bit smelly.
"Zhu Rui! Watch out!"
A loud shout vaguely entered Zhu Rui's mind, making him feel dizzy and the scene before him seemed to be swaying.
Subconsciously, the martial artist's powerful qi and blood began to circulate.
Wait, wasn't I on a mission in Wangjia Village?
He jolted awake and suddenly opened his eyes.
Where are the beautiful maids in sight?
Only a terrifying claw covered in black fur and dripping with slime was hovering half a foot in front of him, slowly approaching his throat!
Instantly, a feeling of nausea and fear spread throughout my body.
"roll!"
He was so frightened that his voice changed.
"·————·————"
Upon seeing him awaken, in the darkness, those black claws, carrying a nauseating, fishy smell, viciously clawed towards his throat.
At the critical moment of life and death, his martial arts instincts saved his life. He frantically circulated his internal energy and kicked the ground with both feet.
"Bang!"
The person, along with the chair, flew backwards.
"Sizzle—!"
The claws missed their mark, but instead of retracting, they slashed downwards. The sharp nails instantly tore through Zhu Rui's chin, drawing a string of blood beads; had it gone any deeper, it would have severed his throat!
"what!"
Zhu Rui screamed and rolled to the ground, the chair behind him crashing into the wall and shattering into pieces.
"Prepare to die!"
At this moment, Song Jing's figure had already arrived in front of the shadowy figure, and the steel knife in his hand slashed down with a blur, heading towards the claw that couldn't retract in time.
"Click!"
This strike was incredibly powerful, carrying the surging energy of a martial artist, and instantly struck the black claw.
However, the expected scenario of severing it in one stroke did not occur; it only severed the hard bone and a few black hairs before it could advance any further.
"So hard!"
Song Jing was taken aback. He had once killed a bear with a single blow, yet he couldn't even cut off these strange claws.
"Ha!"
With that strange pain, another sharp claw swept across with a whistling sound.
Song Jing quickly parried with his sword.
"clang!"
The claws struck the longsword, and the immense force traveled along the blade. Song Jing felt his hand go numb and his body staggered backward.
That thing has incredible strength!
"Take this!"
Zhao Tie's burly body came to the rescue, and he swung a melon-headed hammer with a powerful gust of wind at the dark figure.
"boom!"
A dull thud.
The hammer struck the strange, hard spot on the lower back.
Although the monster had tough hide, it couldn't withstand such a blunt force impact. It let out a strange cry, its body was smashed and deformed, and it crashed through the window frame like a broken sandbag, flying into the street.
"Chase it! Don't let it get away!" Song Jing shouted, and Zhao Tie immediately obeyed and leaped out of the window to chase after the eerie creature.
Song Jing quickly helped Zhu Rui up, "Brother Zhu, are you alright?"
Zhu Rui clutched his chin, his eyes filled with resentment and fear. When had he, the young master Zhu, ever suffered such a loss?
If I hadn't reacted quickly, I probably would have died on the spot from that attack.
"Kill it! Kill it!"
He swallowed a hemostatic pill, his face hardened, and he charged out with the sword beneath him.
At this moment, he also wanted to take down this strange thing and see what it was.
And this is a great achievement!
On the street, Zhao Tie was wielding a melon-headed hammer and fighting with the dark figure.
By the faint starlight, everyone finally saw the monster's true form.
It was a monster with a bird's head and a human body, with a sharp beak, fine fangs, and its whole body covered in slippery black fur, emitting a strong stench of decay.
"What the hell is this demon?!"
Song Jing couldn't help but burst into a tirade of curses.
"Attack together!"
The three of them worked together and managed to stabilize the situation.
In the shadows not far away.
Su Yu watched this scene quietly without making a move.
This strange creature looks very similar to the one I encountered in Qingxi Village.
However, it is much stronger than that one, and ordinary people simply cannot deal with it! Even a martial artist would probably be no match for it if they faced it alone.
However, when Song Jing and the other two attacked together, their combined strength was still greater.
Su Yu's gaze left the battlefield and turned back to the tiled house behind him where the black stone was placed.
"Heh ————·————"
Another suppressed gasp came from the back window of the tiled house.
Su Yu's expression turned solemn; indeed, there was more than one of these strange creatures!
The allure of this black stone is greater than I imagined! I wonder where the Water Serpent Gang got this black stone from!
The next moment, seeing the dark figure enter the house, he moved swiftly and silently climbed onto the roof like a nimble ape.
Gently lift a green tile and look inside.
Not far from the water vat containing the black stone inside the house, a huge black shadow was lying.
It was a bizarre creature the size of a millstone, with more than a dozen long, hairy legs, a bloated belly, and a pale human face on its back.
This strange creature is more like a giant spider than the bird monster!
