Chapter 27: Mountain Ghosts and Hidden Side Quests
Wu Chang grabbed the bun, stuffed the whole thing into his mouth, chewed it twice with an expressionless face, and swallowed it like a pill.

Repeating this process, the tray of buns was emptied in the blink of an eye.

Then he said, as if reading aloud, "It is indeed delicious."

"Ah?" This time the waiter couldn't do it.

A bun the size of an adult man's fist is swallowed whole into his mouth. What kind of way is this to eat it?

Wu Chang: "What?"

The waiter said regretfully, "Sir, you should eat in small bites and taste it carefully."

Wu Chang looked displeased, his right hand resting on the scabbard, and he looked at the waiter with a frown, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"I dare not, I dare not. I'm afraid that the guest hasn't tasted it. How about another tray?" the waiter asked tentatively.

"I'm tired and have to travel early tomorrow morning. Please prepare a guest room for me so as not to disturb my rest." Wu Chang slapped the change on the table, interrupting the waiter's subsequent sales pitch.

The waiter immediately fell silent and went upstairs to prepare the guest rooms.

A few minutes later, Wu Chang entered the guest room with a sword in hand, locked the door, and then took out a bun from his personal space.

Of course he didn't eat the buns just now. He threw all the buns in the tray into his personal space while covering his face with his hands.

Now without the waiter's interference, as soon as the buns were taken out, an indescribable stench could be smelled.

When you break open the filling, you'll find it's filled with rotten, maggot-infested meat.

It really is a shady shop.

He lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Soon, the sound of steady breathing was heard in the room.

In the second half of the night, there was a rustling sound in the hotel, as if someone was tiptoeing forward.

In front of the guest room on the second floor, two voices were talking in whispers.

"Are you asleep?"

"Go to sleep."

"You go and see, you'll be horrified when you wake up, and your body will ache with fear to death."

"I just like sour food to relieve the greasiness."

"It's up to you, but be clean. If you don't clean it up properly, no one will come."

The voices died down and the hotel fell into silence again.

After a while, the wind blew outside, making a whistling sound, which made Wu Chang turn over in the house.

Seeing that he didn't wake up, the wind outside became louder.

A gust of wind blew in through the window, pushing the window open from the inside out.

A monster with a pile of cow bones as its head, human bones as its body, ribs spread out like wings, and its back covered with black long-haired animal skin, like a giant kite, floated into the house with the wind.

It was carried by the wind, like a black quilt, slowly covering Wu Chang who was lying on the bed.

The ox skull opened its mouth and called out in a waiter's voice: "Young man, wake up! There's a monster!"

According to the Minotaur's past experience, the guest should wake up from his trance, look around, and ask it blankly where the monster is.

At this time, it suddenly covered the occupant from above the bed, wrapped its body around the occupant to death, and put its big bull head on the occupant's face, saying, "Are you looking for me?"

Then, amid the resident's screams of horror, it would poke its ribs into the resident's body and suck the resident's blood without damaging his internal organs or flesh.

Then use the boning knife and meat hook to process the freshly baked ingredient.

But this time something went wrong.

The other party stole its lines!

"Young man, wake up."

Wu Chang suddenly opened his eyes and looked at it with burning eyes, "Are you looking for me?"

The next moment, a blinding light burst out from under the quilt and pierced through the Minotaur's body.

The flames at the wound were like a cancer that could not be extinguished no matter how the Minotaur rolled.

The Minotaur is weak to fire due to its hair, and as a monster, it will receive double damage when hit by silver bullets. It can be said that the Minotaur is perfectly restrained by the skills of Silver Dawn.

The Minotaur howled in the flames and said in disbelief, "You didn't eat the buns?"

Wu Chang casually threw a bun on the ground and crushed it with his feet, revealing the special filling inside.

“Not even dogs would eat this.”

"You deserve to die!"

No one knew what had offended the Minotaur, but its eyes lit up red, the flames on its body suddenly went out, and two human skeleton arms stretched out from its fur.

Wu Chang was not panicked at all. He moved three steps to the left, and saw the bed board he was lying on break apart. A nearly two-meter-long bone-chopping knife flew out of it, chopping half of the furniture in the room in half. The three steps he took were just outside the chopping range.

Before the Minotaur could grasp the bone-cutter, he shot a silver bullet and broke the Minotaur's right hand.

The Minotaur howled miserably, and a bloody iron hook hung from the ceiling, slashing down vertically like a scorpion's tail.

Wu Changze made preparations in advance and kicked over the wooden table in the house to use as a shield.

The iron hook penetrated the wooden table and had no power to go any further. The Minotaur tried to grab the hook with his left hand, but Wu Chang shot his left hand and broke it.

"You came late today. I almost fell asleep while waiting." Wu Chang yawned and looked at the five resentful thoughts on the Minotaur.

As a monster in the C-level copy, the Minotaur does not have many means of attack, and the scenes in the five grudges are enough to test out all of its three weapons.

If he hadn't been afraid that they could use combination skills when fighting two against one, which would only allow them to form a one-on-one situation in the guest room, he would have turned hostile in the lobby.

He pointed the muzzle of his gun at the Minotaur's head and asked, "Any last words?"

The Minotaur stared at the crushed buns on the ground and said, "You shouldn't waste food."

Wu Chang was stunned for a moment, then pulled the trigger and smashed the cow's skull.

"I'm sorry, I apologize."

Along with the death of the Minotaur, dozens of shadows flashed before Wu Chang's eyes. Most of those shadows were herbalists or traveling merchants who had fallen off the mountain due to various reasons.

Falling from the mountain caused them to have multiple fractures all over their bodies, making it difficult for them to move. The deep mountains were sparsely populated and no one could get help from them. They could only drag their bodies and eat whatever they could find.

They ate insects, weeds, tree bark and even soil, and finally starved to death in despair.

After death, the body with resentment will be eaten by wild beasts. The beasts that have eaten the resentment of the starving person will feel extremely hungry and hunt indiscriminately until they meet another beast that is also affected by resentment.

The wild beasts devoured each other, causing resentments to continue to gather.

When more of them gather together, their resentment will turn into monsters before their eyes. The monsters will frantically forage for food in the mountains, trying to eliminate their hunger that can never be satisfied.

Wu Chang shook his head. No wonder this guy was so obsessed with food.

The inn is run by a couple. After one was taken care of, there was still one left.

Just as he pushed open the door and was about to go looking for trouble with the remaining one, he saw the door at the other end of the corridor broken, and a horse-headed monster jumped out of the middle room, smashed the window at the end of the corridor and escaped.

The monster fled so decisively that Wu Chang didn't have time to shoot.

A few seconds later, a middle-aged man in a blue Taoist robe chased out of the room. The Taoist held a wooden magic sword in his hand, glanced around, and turned to look at Wu Chang.

"Young man, have you ever seen a monster escape?"

Wu Chang pointed to the window and said, "If you mean the horse-faced monster, it broke through the window and escaped."

The Taoist sighed, "I was careless for a moment and let the monster escape. The mountain road is dangerous at night, so I have to wait until dawn to look for it."

Wu Chang bowed and said, "I am Wu Chang, nice to meet you, Taoist priest. It was you who reminded me that there was something strange in my meal during dinner."

When the waiter presented the buns, an unknown wind blew, inspiring Wu Chang and allowing him to see through the buns' illusion.

Although he was not reminded, he would not eat the restaurant's signature dishes just because of the resentment towards the waiter, but he still had a good impression of the Taoist.

The Taoist bowed back and said, "Just now I heard the spiritual energy in Young Master Wu's residence was surging and roaring like thunder. The monster that attacked Young Master should have been killed. Young Master is obviously from a famous family and has the skills to subdue monsters. It's me who is meddling in other people's business."

"No, thanks to the Taoist priest's reminder, I knew there were other Taoists in the store, so I didn't act rashly."

Wu Chang said, taking out the silver dawn, and said: "I am from the Tang Sect, and I am good at using hidden weapons. From seven steps away, I am as fast as lightning and as fast as a flying star. Even a powerful crossbow cannot catch up. The disadvantage is that it takes time to reload, and I can only shoot one shot every five breaths."

For a long time before the impact of modern firearms, the longer the range of the weapon, the lower the attack frequency and the longer it took to reload.

The range of the Silver Dawn bow is more than twice that of an ordinary bow, and it sounds reasonable to take five breaths to reload one shot.

As expected, the Taoist did not doubt it, but instead praised Master Wu Chang's ingenious skills.

The reason why he took the initiative to introduce himself was so that the Taoist priest would not be perfunctory when he came back to ask about his origins.

As the Taoist chatted about the Tang Sect for a while, he took the opportunity to ask back:
"Before this trip, I have never seen a monster. If I fight two monsters at the same time, I may not be able to get away with it. I see that the Taoist priest is familiar with monsters. I wonder which sect he is from?"

The Taoist said, "I am Chi Yuan, a wandering cultivator in the mountains. I was spotted by a wandering master in my early years. I heard that I could eat meat by presiding over funerals in the city, so I became a disciple."

"Don't say that Young Master Wu has never seen a monster. I have been learning martial arts for twenty years. It was not until five years ago when the heavens were wrathful and the earth shook that I realized that there are real monsters in the world. What I learned was not a trick to deceive people."

After saying that, Chi Yuan took out an ancient book from his arms and opened a page.

"The two monsters that just attacked are called Mountain Blocking Ghosts. Their appearance and abilities are consistent with those recorded in the ancient scrolls. I guess that the wrath of heaven and earth awakened the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, causing the monsters of ancient times to reappear and many magic skills to see the light of day again."

Wu Chang nodded and asked, "I heard before that there is a Huaigu Village in the mountains. The New Year's Eve Festival held in the village every year is very effective and can communicate with the gods and drive away monsters. Have you heard of it, Taoist priest?"

When Chi Yuan heard Wu Chang mention Huaigu Village, he was delighted and said hurriedly:

"Young Master Wu, are you going to Huaigu Village? I just happen to have something I want to go to Huaigu Village to solve. I wonder if Young Master Wu can help me."

"Title Perfectionism activated, obtain hidden side quest."
