Chapter 179: Luring ghosts into the channel
After Chen Xin calmed down, he discovered one thing: the speed at which the five-colored light of the house-stabilizing medicine spread seemed a bit slow?

After waiting for another five minutes, Chen Xin confirmed the matter.

It's very slow indeed.

Thinking back to how those houses were completed in the blink of an eye, the five-colored light at this moment was like a snail crawling.

Chen Xin thought of the house-warding medicine buried by Li Gongyang.

At that time, it took a full five minutes for the fire to spread throughout the dormitory building.

"So, the speed at which the house-protecting medicine takes effect is related to the size of the house?"

Looking at the tree house in Sanshan Village, Chen Xin had to agree with this statement.

"At this rate, it will probably take another two hours for everything to spread and take effect."

After looking for a while, Chen Xin shifted his gaze away from the tree house.

Two hours is also a lot of time.

Besides, since Chen Xin couldn't sleep now, he might as well try some of his previous ideas.

Chen Xin controlled Huang Ying to walk out of Sanshan Village and came to the entrance of the village.

Looking at the river in the distance, Chen Xin asked Huang Ying to pick up the mourning stick again.

As the staff was waved, tree roots broke out from under the road outside the village.

Looking at the remaining twenty meters distance from the front of the tree roots to the river, Chen Xin sighed in his heart.

If the tree roots were longer, perhaps this wouldn't be such a hassle.

Chen Xin controlled Huang Ying to use the mourning stick to move the tree roots to another place.

After the tree roots were removed, a ditch appeared on the road leading directly to the entrance of Sanshan Village.

Although the depth is less than one meter, it is enough for Chen Xin.

Huang Ying carried a thick piece of wood into the ditch to further level and compact it. After finishing, the cloth dog was pulled over by Chen Xin.

"Go dig through the first twenty meters of this ditch."

What Chen Xin has to do is very simple.

An artificial ditch was dug to bring the water from the Shuigui River to the entrance of Sanshan Village.

With the help of the roots of the banyan tree and the mourning stick, Chen Xin was not afraid of the water ghosts coming, but was afraid that they would not come.

The reason why Bu Gou was let go was, on the one hand, that there was a water ghost in Bu Gou's body, and this might be able to confuse the water ghosts in the Water Ghost River.

On the other hand, Chen Xin planned to let Huang Ying stand aside to attract the attention of the water ghosts in the Water Ghost River.

With a two-pronged approach, the artificial ditch should be digged through.

What happened next was just as Chen Xin had designed. When Huang Ying stood fifteen meters away from the Water Ghost River, the ferocious water ghosts in the Water Ghost River were already eager to try.

However, this time Chen Xin did not plan to capture these two arrogant and ferocious water ghosts. He just let Huang Ying jump back and forth repeatedly within a range of fifteen meters, stimulating the water ghosts without giving them any chance.

After repeating this for five minutes, the more than ten water ghosts in the Water Ghost River became more than twenty, and the ferocious water ghosts increased from two to five!

After seeing the number of these ferocious water ghosts, Chen Xin was worried that they would attract the blood disaster, so he asked Huang Ying to retreat to a range of 20 meters away.

In this way, those ferocious water ghosts calmed down a little, submerged half of their heads in the water, and just stared at Huang Ying.

Chen Xin ignored the water ghosts and looked towards the position of the cloth dog.

In five minutes, Bu Gou had dug more than ten meters and was only about five meters away from the river.

Chen Xin was certain in his heart, and just when he was about to let Huang Ying tease him again, something happened to Bu Gou.

The cloth dog that was digging the pit dug out blood directly from the wet soil.

By the time Chen Xin found out, it was too late.

The cloth dog was directly swallowed by the blood. Before Chen Xin could call it back, the cloth dog had been completely corroded by the blood.

"It's careless."

Chen Xin looked at the last five meters of the river bank and sighed in his heart.

Controlling Huang Ying back to Sanshan Village, Chen Xin prepared to leave the water ghosts alone to let them calm down.

after an hour.

Looking at the Water Ghost River which had calmed down again, Chen Xin controlled Huang Ying to dive over.

Originally Chen Xin wanted to continue using the cloth dog, but by the time he had time to catch another water ghost, the last five meters had already been dug through.

Soon, Huang Ying arrived at the designated location, and the Shuigui River was still as calm as ever.

The yellow baby moved, and there was no hindrance in the process of inserting his claws into the soil. However, due to his small size, the amount of soil he dug out at a time was much less than that of the cloth dog.

However, Huang Ying's frequency is high, and overall his digging speed is faster than Bu Gou's.

Half a minute later, Huang Ying had widened the space by two meters.

During the excavation process, water had already begun to seep into the ditch.

Chen Xin knew it was almost time.

With a bit of caution, Chen Xin controlled Huang Ying's digging speed and slowed down a lot.

After digging another meter, Chen Xin felt that he didn't even need to dig through the remaining two meters. He only needed to dig one more meter, and relying on the pressure of the water in the Shuigui River, he could slowly open up the last meter.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin gritted his teeth and let Huang Ying fire at full power. He swung his hands into afterimages and drilled directly into the mud.

Soon, the resistance on Huang Ying's palm changed from mud to water.

Chen Xin was not greedy. He asked Huang Ying to turn around and return as soon as Huang Ying touched the water. With the thrust of the river water, Huang Ying's speed was very fast.

But although Huang Ying was fast, something was even faster.

A bloody hand grabbed the back of Huang Ying's neck.

In an instant, Huang Ying was pulled backwards into the water by that hand.

Because the speed was too fast and it was swaying left and right, Chen Xin didn't even have a chance to see what that thing was. But except for this one thing, there was no other ghost in this ghost river that could make Huang Ying so embarrassed.

Seeing that the surrounding waters were getting darker and darker, Chen Xin directly summoned Huang Ying back.

At the moment of being summoned back, the thing holding the yellow infant seemed to have discovered something. A force spread out from its palm and passed through the yellow infant to Chen Xin's consciousness.

The consciousness of the substitute paper-cut awakened and actively activated the substitute paper-cut.

At the same time, Chen Xin woke up and summoned Huang Ying back.

Turning his head, Chen Xin looked at the stand-in paper-cutting.

He saw everything the paper-cutting went through from the perspective of an outsider.

It was a bridge, more than a hundred meters long and more than ten meters wide, with more than ten archways under it.

Pedestrians come and go on the bridge, and Chen Xin is one of them.

At some point, the bridge collapsed.

Chen Xin fell into the water along with the people on the bridge, and was then buried in the water by the rocks that fell from the bridge.

Chen Xin was not dead, but was struggling.

But he was surrounded by people in the same situation as him, and no one could save him.

Soon, Chen Xin stopped struggling, and fell silent after spitting out a string of bubbles from his mouth.

When Chen Xin came out of that perspective, he saw that the paper-cut substitute had melted into a pool of water.

In other words, it has been soaked into a pulp by water.

Chen Xin sighed.

"200 points of Yin De are gone... But I seem to know where the water ghosts in that river come from... But I haven't found any trace of that bridge either in reality or in the underworld. Why is that?"

Chen Xin frowned, recalling the clothes of those people on the bridge.

It seems that it has nothing to do with the modern times.

Not to mention fifty years ago, it was only eighty years ago that people would dress like that.

Therefore, the history of water ghosts in that river is even earlier than that of the banyan tree.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin suddenly had a strange idea.

Perhaps, the water ghost is the protagonist of this "cloth", but because the combination of the big banyan tree and Brother Wu is too powerful, and the big banyan tree restrains ghosts, it is forced to become a supporting role on this "cloth".

"No wonder the crack is on the Shuigui River, not on the side of the big banyan tree."

After analyzing the situation, Chen Xin summoned his substitute Paper Cut again. He took a look at his current Yin De points, which was 620 points.

Not only did it fail to break through to one thousand, it was actually getting further and further away from one thousand.

Shaking his head helplessly, Chen Xin used another 20 Yinde points to send Huang Ying to Sanshan Village.

As soon as he entered, Chen Xin saw the ditch that was mostly filled with river water.

Because there were no roots of the banyan tree under the ditch, there were already seven or eight water ghosts floating in the nearly 100-meter-long ditch.

Chen Xin even saw a ferocious water ghost.

Resisting the thought of killing these water ghosts to "make his money back", Chen Xin asked Huang Ying to retreat back to Sanshan Village.

Cast a long line and catch big fish.

These seven or eight water ghosts are not enough!
Thinking of this, Chen Xin turned and looked at the tree house in Sanshan Village.

The five-colored light has spread to four-fifths of the tree house, and the remaining part will be completely spread in less than half an hour.

Chen Xin didn't do anything else and just waited for half an hour.

Seeing the last ray of five-colored light covering the entire tree house, Chen Xin excitedly let Huang Ying enter the tree house.

Looking at the crown of the big banyan tree above his head from the tree house, Chen Xin felt like he had come to a fantasy world.

Of course, the premise is that there is no light in that fantasy world either.

Reach out your hand and the placenta will fall away.

Soon, five-colored light appeared near Huang Ying's exposed bloody palm.

"The speed at which the five-colored light appears has not changed, and its power has not increased. Except for the initialization speed being a bit slower, everything else is the same."

Chen Xin nodded with satisfaction.

That's enough.

I glanced at the time and it was already three in the morning.

Everything that needed to be done had been done, and Chen Xin was not going to continue. He would do the rest tomorrow.

Chen Xin withdrew his gaze and did not summon Huang Ying back, but simply "went offline" on the spot.

About an hour after Chen Xin fell asleep, in the dark, the placenta sac, mourning stick, Wangpen and other talismans left in the tree house were covered with a layer of light five-colored mist.

The five-colored mist illuminated the one-meter range around the three. Under the reflection of the five-colored mist, the three showed a kind of beauty that was not like that of human world.

……

The next night, after Chen Xin finished his classes, typed, and completed all his daily activities, he turned his attention back to Huang Ying.

He was going to see how many 'fish' were in that ditch.

But as soon as he entered, he was frightened by the light in front of him and hurriedly controlled the yellow baby to jump away.

As soon as Huang Ying moved, the light dissipated on its own.

After calming down, Chen Xin noticed the five-colored mist on the mourning staff not far away.
