unscrupulous spirit catcher

Chapter 226 The Lair
Xiu Niang was lying on the bed with the remaining child in her arms, her eyes dull and she didn't know what she was thinking. After a while, she closed her eyes and rested.

Song Yu carefully climbed out of the box, locked the box silently, and slipped out through the crack in the door that was not tightly closed.

Everyone outside also dispersed, leaving only bloody footprints on the ground that others could not see.

The female ghost followed Uncle Zhang all the way to the stone cliff behind the village.

It is not surprising that there is no grass growing on the stone cliffs. Every village is like this. It is either backed by mountains or water, even if it is a stone mountain.

Bloody footprints left traces on the stone cliff, walking higher step by step.

Song Yu walked up a few steps following the footprints, then suddenly stopped and looked back.

The embroiderer was leaning on a stick and following not far behind her. She seemed to have already known about the arrival of Song Yu, the uninvited guest.

Not only did she not yell and arrest Song Yu, but she followed her, as if she knew she could find her child by following her.

Seeing Song Yu turn around and find her, her eyes couldn't help but reveal a pleading look.

In ten months of pregnancy, mother and child are connected.

With such strong winds, such thick snow, and without the mother's arms, how long can this child survive?

Song Yu ignored her and followed the bloody footprints step by step, but at a slightly slower pace.

The wind gets colder the higher you go up the mountain, the snow turns to hard ice, and the sky becomes extremely gloomy.

Red blood streaks began to appear on the ground.

Threads of blood crisscrossed the stone like spider webs.

These are living creatures, and they are straining to spread their bodies, trying to take up more space.

The blood threads were like tentacles. When Song Yu stepped on them, these blood threads would transmit messages with faint light.

The further he walked, the more Song Yu felt that there were countless bloodshot eyes, and the feeling became thicker and thicker under his feet. It was almost as if he was walking in sticky blood, and even where he looked there was a red light.

The female ghost's bloody footprints disappeared, maybe they had been swallowed up by these blood threads.

The deathly aura that pervaded her body dissipated some of the bloodshot blood, making her walk less difficult.

Xiu Niang followed her closely, with a look of horror in her eyes. Even though she had lived in the village for so long, she had never found such a thing on the cliff.

"This... what is this?"

Song Yu kicked away the small stones under his feet: "Little thing, it looks quite unique."

The embroiderer's brows were furrowed, she was surprised and afraid, but she didn't hesitate and still followed Song Yu closely.

There are more and more blood threads, almost filling the gaps in the stones. It seems that these stones will break into pieces at any time and become food for the blood threads.

Then a nest composed of bloodshot eyes appeared in front of them.

The nest was like a cut cocoon, surrounded by dark red bloodshot threads, and these living creatures were constantly squirming and emitting dark red light, making Song Yu think it was a belly waiting to be digested.

The child's cry came faintly from inside.

After Xiu Niang heard the cry, she suddenly became excited, suppressed the fear in her heart, and stepped in.

Even if this is hell, she will not look back.

Song Yu did not stop him, but followed closely, stepping on these weird blood threads.

The feeling under your feet is very soft, like stepping on wet mud. The further you go inside, the heavier the red light becomes and the more depressing it becomes.

Although it is not sealed, these blood threads are like waves blown by the wind, continuing to flow deeper.

The embroiderer walked faster and faster, and finally couldn't help but start running.

"child!"

Following her exclamation, more footsteps sounded in the lair, and soon another woman appeared in front of them.

There is also a half-year-old child.

The woman who suddenly appeared looked at Song Yu and Xiu Niang, her face tense and very wary.

"you……"

The embroiderer picked up the child on the ground, held it in her arms and touched and cried. She saw that the child was wearing thick clothes and smelled of milk. She was very strange at first, but then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"You... haven't you already left?"

Song Yu looked at Xiu Niang, then at the woman who suddenly appeared, and then at the curious boy, wondering what the hell was going on?

Seeing that Song Yu and the others were not looking for trouble, the woman also breathed a sigh of relief: "Come in with me first."

After turning left and right, Song Yu suddenly stopped and looked at a piece of blood in the middle.

The bottom half looked like a wooden stake, and the top was a soft piece, red and bloodshot.

When the woman with the child saw her stop, she explained aloud: "This is Tai Sui. All Tai Sui in the village is picked from here."

Song Yu touched it and thought that there are so many wonders in this world. Spiritual creatures can actually grow Tai Sui.

And this Tai Sui is not a spiritual creature, it is real.

Can spiritual beings still be so kind?

Without saying anything, she just pulled out Tai Sui and stuffed it into her clothes, as if she was just here to find Tai Sui.

The embroiderer was preoccupied and did not take her actions to heart. She only focused on looking at the child in her arms.

The other woman couldn't help but remind Song Yu: "This is an ominous thing. Once you mess with it, you will be trapped in it and unable to extricate yourself."

Song Yu thought it was unknown, what was unknown?
There is cheap and no bastard.

Don't take Tai Sui if you see it, unless it's a fool like Zhongli Qing.

Seeing that she was stubborn and had no intention of taking out the things, the woman said no more and continued to lead them inside.

The further you go, the more depressing you feel, as if you have become food.

Just when Song Yu thought there was no way out, a gap appeared deep in the lair.

Numerous bone-white palms tightly pulled at the blood thread, forcibly tearing out a gap.

Blood threads grew up from the white bones layer by layer, trying to close the gap. However, white bones also appeared one after another, suppressing the blood threads.

The woman let the child go first, and then she slipped out of the gap. After she stood firm, she said to Song Yu and Xiu Niang, "Come out, it's safe outside."

Xiu Niang hugged the child and got out. Song Yu looked back at some bloodshot threads that were still slowly squirming, and then got out too.

It was cold and windy outside, and it was snowing. However, under the wind and snow, the depression and panic of being food were swept away. Although the sky was dark, it still made people feel comfortable.

The bloodshot threads also tried to spread here, but there was still an invisible force blocking them.

The woman continued to lead the way, and what appeared in front of them was a wooden house.

There was a fire burning in the house, hot water was steaming on the stove, and someone was cutting vegetables and cooking.

The people who do all of this are actually people with disabilities.

Some of them were older and some were still very young. The older children took care of the younger ones, and no one cried or fussed.

When they saw someone coming, they didn't ask any questions, but went to pour hot water sensibly.

Song Yu sat by the fire and looked at the dried bacon in the room: "You are Liu Zhongxu's wife, right?"

The woman was stunned and looked at Song Yu: "Are you here to find me?"

She thought Song Yu had heard rumors about Tai Sui and came to see Tai Sui specifically.
