Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 366 Hundred Crow Formation Gatling Gun, Fire! Fire! Fire!

crunch~
The door opened, and a dark figure rushed out.

It charged straight at Ji Mo, who was walking at the front.

Whoosh!
The rope was thrown from Ji Mo's hand.

But Ji Mo was not a martial arts master after all. After a sudden turn in mid-air, the black shadow pounced on Ji Mo's face, which was covered by a crow mask.

Just as they were about to tear it apart, a rope emerged from the beak on the raven mask and tied them up tightly.

Only after the shadow landed did Ji Mo get a clear look at it.

A shriveled cat carcass with one protruding eyeball and exposed gums.

Without saying anything more, Ji Mo took out the Candle Night Stone Town from his backpack and placed it on the floor of the room.

Immediately, a rooster appeared, flapping its wings and tearing the bound cat to shreds.

After it was over, the rooster went straight back inside.

Ji Mo followed closely behind and saw the rooster stop in front of a rotten wooden board that looked like a cat's claw board, pecking at it vigorously.

In just a few moments, the wooden plank turned into a wisp of smoke and vanished.

After that, the rooster began to slowly pace around the room.

Seeing this, Ji Mo stopped searching, turned around and went back to the doorway, put away the Candle Night Stone Town, and walked out.

"A vengeful ghost."

After leaving the house, Ji Mo spoke to the two men guarding the door.

This is their agreed-upon mode of action.

Starting from the first floor of Building 1, which is near the entrance of this old residential area, they took turns entering the rooms to search for ghosts, while the remaining two guarded the door.

The room is small, so having too many people in is not good. Doing so can also ward off evil spirits from outside.

After searching all ten-plus rooms on the first floor, the three of them discovered a total of six vengeful ghosts.

After slaying the three-headed vengeful ghost, Bai Yongnian's Zhuye Stone Town was promoted to the Yin General level.

In this way, the three-person team now possesses six Yin-Hero-level protective artifacts!

Of course, this will not be the end.

"Compared to the mortal world, the density of ghosts here is far too high."

As they walked toward the next room, Bai Yongnian suddenly spoke.

"Yes, without the talismans of the underworld, dealing with these constantly reborn vengeful ghosts in the netherworld would be quite a task."

Ji Mo, holding the Candle Night Stone Town, thought for a moment and continued, "But speaking of which, this mission doesn't seem as difficult as the mission description says. I feel like I can clear this place without using a Yin General-level town-suppressing item. Also, why are all the creatures I encounter cats and dogs? Aren't there any human-like ghosts?"

In fact, not only Ji Mo, but Bai Yongnian and Ye Chang also had the same question.

If that's all there is to it, it seems somewhat inconsistent with the difficulty of the task.

"I think we should be more careful. Since the tasks in the underworld are defined in that way, there must be some difficulties that we don't know about."

Ye Chang offered a reminder.

Compared to Bai Yongnian and Ji Mo, he had experienced the mother-child corpse battle and knew that some things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.

If we let our guard down, we might not even know how we died.

Bai Yongnian and Ji Mo nodded.

They're not stupid, they're just confused.

Just as the three of them reached the next room, they saw the room number and simply walked past it.

1-114.

They remember the reminder of the ninth day, as they celebrate every fourth day.

Ten minutes passed.

The three men had cleaned all the rooms on the first floor of Building 1 and found a total of eight vengeful ghosts.

Each building in this residential area has six floors. At this rate, even if they don't go to the fourth floor, once they have explored all the other floors, the three of them will advance to the Yin Marshal level in Candle Night Stone Town.

This inevitably made all three of them somewhat excited.

In the mortal world, there are many ghosts and spirits, but not so many that actually reside in a room.

In addition, the Candle Night Stone Town is not easy to carry, so they would not take it out to suppress ghosts unless necessary.

Now, it seems that all the ghosts in this mission are in the room, making them feel like it's a special event in Candlestone Town.

With this in mind, the three of them cleaned the second floor again.

During this process, Ye Chang's Candle Night Stone Town also reached the Yin Marshal level.

In this way, Ye Chang became the only one among the three to possess three different types of spirit mediums.

This made the other two somewhat envious.

As the only town in Candlestone Town that has not yet been promoted, Ji Mo is naturally getting impatient.

"Let's go, let's go! Once my Candle Night Stone Town is successfully upgraded, I will continue to use the Soul Binding Ropes to deal with ghosts and spirits. I already have two of the eighteen Soul Binding Ropes at the Yin Marshal level, and I plan to upgrade all eighteen of them to the Yin Marshal level!"

Hearing Ji Mo say this, Ye Chang's eyes showed some surprise, but he didn't say anything more.

If he had to choose, he would choose to upgrade the magpie feathers, because the more types of protective objects there are, the more situations he can handle.

But different people make different choices. We're all newcomers, so who can say that anyone's choice is absolutely right?
Soon, the three of them arrived at the third floor.

At the end of the season, Ji took the lead and headed towards 1-301. He pushed open the door, put down the Candle Night Stone Town, and it was activated. However, this place was Yin Ming, and Yin energy was everywhere. The Candle Night Stone Town could be activated in any random 'house'.

Seeing that the rooster that appeared did not rush into the room, Ji Mo knew that the room was empty.

After coming out, Ji Mo felt a little disappointed.

But when he heard what Ye Chang said, he was completely stunned.

"My Candle Night Stone Town has been upgraded, so I won't participate in the rotation of the rooms below for now. Let's start the rotation again after your Stone Town is upgraded. Having an extra Yin General will also benefit our team."

"This……"

Ji Mo looked at Bai Yongnian.

"Then listen to him. You'll be in charge of all the rooms from now on, until your Candlestone Town is successfully upgraded."

Bai Yongnian was actually somewhat surprised to hear Ye Chang's words.

Actually, he should have said that, since he was the first to be promoted.

However, the three of them had only known each other for less than an hour, and he was unsure of Ye Chang's true nature, so he couldn't possibly give up his own interests. This was a side effect of doing business.

If it were him and Ji Mo, then this issue wouldn't arise.

"My surname is Bai, and I'm just thirty years old. May I ask your name?"

Bai Yongnian suddenly said.

"Ye, thirty-four years old."

Ye Chang said with a smile.

"We're younger than you, so let's all call you Brother Ye. Brother Ye, after Lao Ji's Stone Town is promoted, let's try a different approach. We'll count finding the Ghost Genius after opening the door as one, how about that?"

"can."

Ye Chang nodded.

"Thank you, Brother Ye. Just call me Xiao Ji."

After finishing his sentence, Ji Mo happily walked towards room 1-302.

But after he put down the Candle Night Stone Town, he was stunned again.

This is empty again!
"This luck is just unbelievable."

At the end of the season, he picked up Candlestone Town and continued towards 1-303, but found nothing there either. Unconvinced, he passed 1-304 and opened the doors to the other rooms.

He drove all the way to room 1-318, a total of sixteen rooms, and didn't encounter a single ghost.

This time, not only was he stunned, but Bai Yongnian and Ye Chang also sensed that something was wrong.

As if they had thought of something, the three of them turned their gaze to 1-304 and 1-314.

On this floor, only these two rooms are closed.

Could it be that only these two rooms are haunted?

The three exchanged a glance. Although Ji Mo was eager to advance, he still shook his head: "Forget it, let's go to the 5th floor. There's no need to take the risk."

Bai Yongnian and Ye Chang nodded.

Just as the three of them were about to walk from the door of room 1-318 toward the stairs, they heard a 'creak' sound.

The three of them stopped in their tracks.

The door to room 1-314, located a distance from the other three doors, was opened.

Without saying much, the three of them simultaneously took out their respective Yin General-level Soul Binding Ropes, with Ji Mo even having one in each hand.

Just then, a head popped out from the open door.

Then came the second, the third, until the doorway was densely packed with heads before it finally stopped.

Ji Mo swallowed hard.

"No wonder I haven't seen anyone before. Could it be that all the humanoid ghosts have gone to the room related to the number four? Are they eating hot pot or something?"

Bai Yongnian ignored Ji Mo's complaints and was thinking of a solution.

Now, nearly twenty ghosts appeared before them. Even if they were all vengeful spirits, they would still need to throw off most of the soul-binding ropes on their bodies before they could be dealt with.

The Soul-Binding Rope is easy to make and carry, but it has a drawback: it cannot immediately eliminate ghosts and spirits.

Even a Soul-Binding Rope of the Yin Marshal level would need some time to eliminate the bound ghosts, let alone a Soul-Binding Rope of the same level.

All told, they only have four Yin General-level Soul Binding Ropes. Before they can even finish eliminating the ghosts, those ghosts that were destroyed earlier may have already revived and condensed from their original forms.

Replacing it with a Candle Night Stone Town could solve this problem; even a Candle Night Stone Town at the Yin Marshal level would be enough.

But first, they have to put the Candlestone Town into room 1-314.

Another problem is that they are seeing twenty ghosts now, but there may not be twenty in the room!

Perhaps even more ghosts are unable to squeeze out because of the door?
"How to do?"

Ji Mo asked a question.

"Let's retreat first. There's no need to fight head-on. Use the Raven Feather Raincoat to fly directly to the fifth floor and avoid encountering these things."

After Bai Yongnian finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Chang.

Ye Chang did not object.

"Then let's go."

As he spoke, Bai Yongnian transformed into more than a dozen crows and flew out of Building No. 1, followed closely by Ji Mo and Ye Chang.

A fluttering sound echoed in the quiet hallway. The twenty heads in room 1-314 seemed to be stimulated by something after watching the crows fly away.

They all opened their mouths and let out sharp cries.

The cry was not offensive, but as it rang out, all the doors to rooms on the sixth floor of Building 1 that were related to the number four slammed open.

Heads popped out of the doorway, looking at the crows on the side of Building No. 1.

Seeing this, the three of them naturally stopped heading towards the fifth floor.

Turning around, thirty or forty crows flew towards the entrance of the residential area.

But at that moment, one after another, the heads of those in rooms 1-404 shot out of the door.

From a distance, it looks like a strangely shaped snake.

If there were only twenty heads, they naturally couldn't fly very far, but the heads behind Gate 1-404 seemed endless, with heads constantly pouring outwards.

In the blink of an eye, the long snake made up of heads caught up with the last crow belonging to the end of the season.

The head at the very top of the 'long snake,' which consisted of two hundred connected heads, emitted a sharp laugh.

Amid laughter, the head shot out swiftly, biting directly into a crow.

The crow blocked the beak of the first head, but then the head detached from its position and rolled back down the 'snake's' spine.

At this point, the second head had become the new 'snake head'.

click!
Another crow was bitten, another head was severed.

It had only flown a distance of about ten meters, and had not even reached the entrance of the residential area, when the 'long snake' bit off ten crows.

Just as Ji Mo's true form, the crow, was about to be bitten, Bai Yongnian's voice suddenly came from the flock of crows.

"Use the crow formation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten crows gathered together and merged into Bai Yongnian's body, then Ye Chang, and finally Ji Mo, who was formed by the merging of three crows.

The Crow Formation can only be activated in its initial state, so you must revert back first.

Just as the three of them fell from the sky, they simultaneously activated the Crow Formation.

In an instant, the crows took flight again.

However, compared to the previous flock of only thirty or forty crows, this time the flock of crows has increased tenfold!
The cawing of more than three hundred crows drowned out the laughter of the two hundred heads.

At that moment, the leader's head bit another crow.

As it rolled back, the crow in the beak of the human head suddenly turned into a fireball and exploded with a bang.

The head was half blown off by the force of the crow's explosion and moved out of the range of the human-headed snake.

Then, it was torn to shreds by more than a dozen crows that rushed up.

Seemingly frightened by the gruesome sight of the head, the long, human-headed snake began to retract.

But when they tried to retreat, the more than three hundred crows disagreed.

Suddenly, the three hundred crows began to circle above the long snake-like head, forming a ring.

Then, a raven feather emerged from the circle and shot towards the human-headed serpent.

The black raven feather was still halfway through its flight when its tip turned fiery red, like a red-hot branding iron just pulled from a furnace.

At that moment, following that raven feather were countless others.

Suddenly, a dazzling rain of flames began to fall in front of the gray Building No. 1!
The long, human-headed serpent, shrouded in a rain of flames, crumbled under the blows of raven feathers.

Without exception, all the heads that shot out were aimed at those rooms number four.

But only a handful of twenty or thirty managed to escape the swarm of crows and get into the room.

As the doors of Building One closed one by one, the crow feathers gradually disappeared.

More than 300 crows circled twice in front of Building No. 1 before landing on the ground outside the residential area.

Bai Yongnian and the other two reappeared.

Beneath their masks, the three men's faces were pale and their bodies were somewhat weak, but this could not hide the excitement on their faces.

The invincible aura of the Hundred Crows Formation was a very different experience for these underworld officials who always had to fight ghosts and spirits separately.

It turns out that fear really does stem from insufficient firepower!

Even if the opponent is a demon!
……

P.S.: There might only be one update today. I'll post it later if I can finish writing it, otherwise I'll do it tomorrow.

I need to get up early tomorrow to take my child to the hospital for a check-up. I'll see how things go when I get back.

Thank you everyone for your monthly votes!
