Chapter 23: Dwarf Ghost
Gu Bai did not say anything.

It was extremely dark inside the passage.

It's already evening outside.

The golden crow sets in the west, the moon in the pond rises in the east, and the light becomes dim.

The flares had already landed on the ground in the distance, leaving only a tiny bit of dying light.

Although the wolf-eye flashlights of Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang and others were bright enough, they could only illuminate the road under their feet.

As ordinary people, they cannot see the darkness next to it.

Gu Bai placed his hand on the handle of the tiger-head stick.

A half-man, half-animal skeleton got on all fours and crawled over quietly.

Like a white mist in the darkness.

Gu Bai’s true eyes can see clearly.

When the skeleton got close, he smashed it with the tiger-head stick.

The expected sound of a hammer hitting a big bone did not come.

The half-human, half-beast skeleton was smashed to pieces in an instant.

Not just the skull, but the whole thing turned into a wisp of smoke.

The middle finger left a slight sigh-like wail in the passage.

[You killed the dwarf ghost and extracted some energy from it.]

"Shorty ghost?"

Gu Bai was touched by the name. Although he couldn't explain what was so cute about it, he couldn't help but murmur something under his breath.

Unexpectedly, Hu Bayi had sharp ears and actually heard what Gu Bai said just now.

Coupled with the sigh-like wails of the dwarf ghost when he was killed by Gu Bai swinging the tiger-head stick just now, the sensitive Hu Bayi felt something was wrong.

"Brother Gu Bai? Don't talk nonsense. The dwarf ghost should be from the southeastern Guizhou area. How could he come to southern Yunnan?"

Shirley Yang and Fatty Wang, who were standing nearby, felt their hair stand on end when they heard the conversation between Hu Bayi and Gu Bai.

"What are you talking about? Gods and ghosts."

Hu Bayi used his Wolf Eye flashlight to shone around and found nothing unusual, so he walked forward and said:

"I had a comrade-in-arms from Hua Miao in the southeastern Guizhou area. He told me that there is an evil spirit in the area called the dwarf ghost."

"It is said that some families specialize in raising this kind of thing."

"We caught the monkeys from the mountains, removed their skulls, killed them, boiled them with special medicines and made mud, and sealed the monkeys' bodies."

"And finally placed on the rafters of the house."

"Every evening at the hour of You, you should throw eggs onto the beams to feed the dwarf ghost."

"In this case, the dwarf ghost will help the owner and improve the owner's fortune. It is said that it can also help the owner steal things."

After hearing this, Fatty Wang couldn't bear to listen anymore.

"The man who raised the dwarf ghost is so cruel and ruthless, and yet the dwarf ghost can still help him?"

Hu Bayi nodded, "Those who raise dwarf ghosts are certainly not good people, and dwarf ghosts are not to be trifled with. Once the owner fails to feed the monkeys in time, or the mud-sealed monkey corpse accidentally falls off and the ghost escapes, the dwarf ghost will turn into a vengeful spirit, causing unrest in the family at best, and even destruction of the family at worst."

Fatty Wang hummed and nodded, "That's about right."

Unexpectedly, Hu Bayi hadn’t finished speaking yet, “The dwarf ghost is not a reasonable person to begin with. After leaving the ghost, the evil spirit it turns into is also extremely cruel and bloodthirsty. It kills anyone it sees, and sometimes causes casualties in most of the village.”

Gu Bai immediately understood upon hearing this. These half-human, half-beast skeletons in the passages were indeed the dwarf ghosts that Hu Bayi had mentioned!
There was indeed a piece missing from the heads of those skulls.

It is obvious that when the dwarf ghost was being refined, someone removed his crown!

Damn, King Xian was really cruel. He could come up with so many tricks in a burial ditch.

And according to the principle of pain transformation, this is probably also a part of ancient magic.

The customs and legends of dwarf ghosts in Southeast Guizhou are probably the remnants of this ancient evil magic.

Thinking of this, Gu Bai slowly slowed down his pace.

It seems that the dwarf ghost's target is Gu Bai.

It just so happened that Gu Bai didn't want to disturb Hu Bayi and the others.

These incorporeal evil spirits cannot be defeated by Thompson submachine guns.

Gu Bai simply destroyed it alone!

But what on earth are these dwarfs running for?

Gu Bai looked down at himself.

Although he admits that he is indeed handsome, the only difference from the others is the cinnabar gourd he wears.

Gu Bai's mouth twitched slightly.

Isn't this thing warding off evil spirits?
Gu Bai then picked up the gourd and found that there was a lid on the gourd.

Then Gu Bai gently unscrewed the lid, and a faint smell of alcohol emanated from it. At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew through the entire underground passage.

Countless air currents were flying around and swirling.

Gu Bai used the Eye of Truth and looked around.

Dozens of dwarf ghosts and evil spirits, big and small, crawled out of the burial pit, their eyes glowing slightly, staring at the cinnabar gourd intently.

Gu Bai immediately understood that there was something wrong with the wine in the cinnabar gourd.

This thing can actually attract evil spirits!
An ordinary person might have been tricked to death by the cinnabar gourd.

But Gu Bai smiled.

The tiger-head stick in his hand turned.

You came at the right time. You are here to bring energy to me, Master Gu.

Just in time to save up some energy so that you can gain more energy next time you fuse!

At this moment, the dwarf ghost rushed towards Gu Bai like crazy.

Gu Bai shook the cinnabar gourd in his hand, "You want it? Come and get it!"

Gu Bai waved his tiger-head stick.

There were bursts of dull hitting sounds in the air.

Every time the heavy tiger-head stick fell, a dwarf ghost was completely beaten to death.

The system prompt sound in Gu Bai's mind never stopped.

Gu Bai's action was very big, and Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang, Fatty Wang and others reacted immediately.

But the three of them could only see something like white mist, rushing towards Gu Bai continuously.

Specifically, it rushed towards the cinnabar gourd in Gu Bai's hand.

Gu Bai swung the tiger-head stick in his hand, and each swing brought away a cloud of white mist.

Fatty Wang raised his Thompson submachine gun and said, "Master Gu, what is this?"

Hu Bayi's face turned pale. "Dwarf ghost? Is there really such a thing?"

Shirley Yang was stunned for a moment.

This kind of evil spirit is beyond Shirley Yang's understanding.

In Shirley Yang's opinion, most strange phenomena can be explained by scientific principles.

But she really couldn't explain what was happening before her, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.

Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi didn’t think too much about it. When they saw something rushing towards Gu Bai, they immediately came over to help.

Gu Bai quickly shouted, "Brother Lao Hu, Fatty, don't come over here!"

Just kidding, these dwarf ghosts are evil spirits.

There is not even an entity.

If Gu Bai didn't have the Eye of Truth skill, he wouldn't be able to see these things at all.

How can Lao Hu and Fatty Wang help?

Hu Bayi and Wang Fatty stopped immediately after hearing this.

Both of them had excellent combat experience and reaction, and they knew that going forward would only cause trouble.

"Mr. Gu, do you have any ideas? How can we help?" Fatty Wang stamped his feet anxiously.

Gu Bai was waving the heavy tiger-head staff while harvesting the energy of the dwarf ghost evil spirit.

"No need to help. Just hold on to our equipment. These are probably tiny bugs. Dealing with these things is my specialty."

Gu Bai shouted.

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang could only take a few steps back.

Shirley Yang, who was a little further away, frowned.

After about ten minutes, Gu Bai cleared out all the dwarf ghosts in the passage in one breath.

I have to say that the wine in the cinnabar gourd is really special.

After these dwarf ghosts smelled the alcohol, they rushed straight towards Gu Bai like moths to a flame, completely without any rules or reason.

If there was no cinnabar gourd, the four people in the passage would be surrounded by so many dwarf ghosts, and Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang and Fatty Wang would probably suffer a lot.

Gu Bai put down the tiger-head stick and gasped exaggeratedly.

While telling Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang that everything was fine, he was counting his gains.

Gu Bai made a lot of money by killing these dwarf ghosts.

Now that we have the energy value, we must quickly find a suitable alien beast or evil spirit for fusion.

Although these monkey ghosts in front of me are evil spirits, they seem to be too low-level, and it would be a loss to merge them together.
