My God Raising Game

Chapter 26 The Burning Ghost

"Help!"

In the thick fog, the young man in the plaid shirt, being dragged away by something dirty, let out a piercing scream.

Everyone was as silent as a cicada.

"Shaowei, have you figured it out?"

Feng Xiu trembled as she leaned close to Xu Shaowei's ear and whispered something.

Xu Shaowei shook her head.

I was too busy running for my life to care about observing those dirty things.

"When we ran towards this lantern, the number of those filthy things increased, and they chased us like mad dogs. They even grabbed one of the unlucky guys. When we got here, didn't you see that they suddenly stopped attacking?"

Lu Jiuling explained.

The thick fog and the wandering ghostly figures created a truly terrifying atmosphere.

"It really is!"

Ke Xinyi was overjoyed: "We should be safe under this lantern, right?"

"690, you're awesome!"

Li Yinuo gave Lu Jiuling a thumbs up.

The suggestion to run under the lanterns was made by Lu Jiuling.

"Naive! This lantern will probably go out!"

Xu Shuo was displeased to see Li Yinuo praising Lu Jiuling: "We still need to escape as soon as possible!"

The girls thought they were safe, but their hearts were just at ease when Xu Shuo's words made them jump again.

"There are about twenty meters between each lantern. While running, you might get attacked by those filthy things, so you have to be quick!"

Now that he knew the weakness of the evil thing, Xu Shuo gained confidence and began to express his opinions without hesitation.

"Hey, how can you guarantee that if you keep running along the red lanterns, you'll definitely escape this old house?"

Jiang Shan doesn't talk much, but when she does, she gets straight to the point.

"Uh……"

Xu Shuo was dumbfounded and subconsciously looked at Lu Jiuling.

"Lu, what do you think?"

Li Jiayao's eyes sparkled with anticipation, hoping Lu Jiuling would give her the right answer.

"Staying here is definitely the worst option. Let's just take it one step at a time!"

After Lu Jiuling finished speaking, he glanced at the spot where the plaid shirt-shirted youth had been dragged away, then turned and rushed toward the next red lantern.

The others quickly followed.

The footsteps were chaotic. Suddenly, a large tongue shot out from the thick fog, wrapped around Xu Shaowei's neck, and yanked her down, dragging her into the fog.

"Shaowei!"

Feng Xiu was terrified and ran even faster.

She was too scared to go and save people.

"Hold!"

Xu Shuo and Jia Mingqiao had no intention of saving anyone.

If it were a robber, the two of them thought they would probably be brave enough to help, but this is dirty stuff, who can beat it?

Hsu Shao-wei, you'd better pray for yourself!
Lu Jiuling rushed to the front. When he heard Feng Xiu's shout, he immediately turned around and saw Xu Shaowei lying on the ground, being dragged into the thick fog.

Big Bear Girl struggled, but it was like a grass carp that had been caught and pulled ashore—it was all in vain.

Lu Jiuling recalled Xu Shaowei's confession to him, the time when he and Zhang Shuai had a conflict on the bus that morning, and how Xu Shaowei stood up to stop Zhang Shuai, and the concern Xu Shaowei showed him at lunch...

Lu Jiuling pursed his lips, turned around and rushed towards Xu Shaowei.

During his three years of high school, the original owner only made two friends, one of whom was Xu Shaowei. He couldn't just watch Xu Shaowei die, especially since she liked him and had confessed her feelings.

And most importantly, Lu Jiuling wanted to get up close to those dirty things and see what they were. Also, since they were afraid of lanterns, was it possible to burn them to death with a torch?

This is a win-win situation.

Besides, if he couldn't save Xu Shaowei, he could run away himself.

"Brother 69!"

Tang Lei was startled.

"Student Lu!"

Li Jiayao's baby face was filled with panic.

Jiang Shan's eyes lit up; she hadn't expected Lu Jiuling to go and rescue Xu Shaowei.

This was definitely not because of Xu Shaowei's looks, because Jiang Shan knew that Lu Jiuling had rejected Xu Shaowei's confession.

"Fuck!"

Xu Shuo didn't expect Lu Jiuling to be so brave.

"Stupid!"

Jia Mingqiao thought Lu Jiuling was incredibly stupid. She wasn't his girlfriend, so why take that kind of risk?

The filthy creature's large tongue was wrapped tightly around her neck, making it hard for Xu Shaowei to breathe. The dragging motion caused her arms and legs to rub against the ground, burning with pain.

A dozen seconds later, she was dragged in front of the filthy thing.

Waaaaah, I don't want to die!

Xu Shaowei trembled and tears streamed down her face.

She saw the dirty thing; it was a woman wearing a red cheongsam, with long, withered yellow hair hanging down, obscuring her entire face.

It was barefoot, hovering a foot above the ground.

The woman appeared to be pregnant; her belly was quite large, and there was blood on the hem of her cheongsam, with more blood flowing down her thighs and dripping from her bare feet onto the floor.

Tick ​​tock!Tick ​​tock!
A drop of blood, a clump of hatred!

The woman in the cheongsam quickly floated over, knelt on Xu Shaowei, pressed down on her, and reached out to poke her eyes.

"Help……"

Xu Shaowei struggled desperately.

The woman in the cheongsam has fingernails that are over an inch long; if someone were to get poked by one, they would surely go blind.

However, the woman in the cheongsam was too strong, and Xu Shaowei couldn't break free at all. Just when she was in despair, a bamboo torch, like a spear, stabbed the woman in the cheongsam hard in the face.

boom!
The woman in the cheongsam leaned back, and the burning torch ignited a strand of her hair.

Having landed a successful blow, Lu Jiuling immediately swung the torch around and struck the woman in the cheongsam on the head.

boom!
The force of the impact caused the woman in the cheongsam to tilt her upper body.

Lu Jiuling held the Buddha's Intestine Short Sword in his left hand, intending to cut off the large tongue wrapped around Xu Shaowei's neck. However, the vengeful spirit in the cheongsam withdrew her tongue and spat it out at him again.

It clearly felt that Lu Jiuling was more dangerous and was preparing to kill him. Lu Jiuling swung his short sword and slashed at the giant tongue.

This is indeed a forbidden object; it's incredibly sharp and sliced ​​off a section of the woman in the cheongsam's tongue.

"what!"

The woman in the cheongsam screamed.

The severed tongue lay on the ground, writhing and twisting like a leech, looking disgusting and terrifying.

"Run under the lanterns!"

Lu Jiuling urged, waving the torch in his right hand, trying to set the woman in the cheongsam on fire.

Xu Shaowei stood up shakily.

She never expected that Lu Jiuling would come to save her!

I knew I hadn't misjudged him!
My confession was right!
If I had persisted and pursued him relentlessly back then, I might have already won him over.

Xu Shaowei suddenly regretted it. If only she hadn't been so stubborn and had continued to pursue him!

"Can you still run?"

Lu Jiuling noticed that other women in cheongsams were gathering around.

We need to hurry to the red lantern.

"can!"

Xu Shaowei was decisive. She knew that every second of delay would increase the risk of death for both of them. So she gritted her teeth, endured the pain and fear, and ran desperately towards the red lantern.

boom!
Lu Jiuling used a torch to pry open the woman's large tongue, then took a big step forward and forcefully shoved the torch into her face.

The woman in the cheongsam staggered, unable to stand steadily.

Lu Jiuling immediately seized the opportunity, mustered all his strength, and, gripping the torch, unleashed a storm of blows on its head.

clap clap clap!
Bamboo is used to pound meat, producing a crisp sound.

"Holy crap, that's incredible?"

Jiaming Bridge, already under the red lanterns, was completely dumbfounded.

He glanced at Xu Shuo subconsciously.

If you have a conflict with him in the future, I won't take his side.

"..."

Xu Shuo was dumbfounded.

No,
So fierce?
That's something dirty. Logically speaking, humans should be afraid of it, right?

But to anyone who didn't know better, the scene before them would make them think that Lu Jiuling was abusing that female ghost.

"what?"

Jiang Shan, who was usually reserved, was so surprised that her mouth was wide open and her little tongue was sticking out.

This……

Jiang Shan hates barbaric and violent behavior, but at this moment, she finds this classmate very charming!
Why haven't you discovered it before?
Pity!
The thought of only having three months left as classmates with Lu Jiuling made Jiang, the school beauty, feel a sudden pang of regret that she couldn't become friends with him.

"That's way too violent!"

Li Yinuo was shocked.

Upon hearing this, Ke Xinyi glanced at her best friend and thought to herself that even if Lu Jiuling had hit her, she wouldn't blame him. Then, the next moment, she heard her best friend's next sentence.

"But I like it!"

Li Yinuo's eyes sparkled; she couldn't wait to rush up and have a mixed doubles match with Lu Jiuling.

"The other filth is gone!"

Li Jiayao shouted a reminder to Lu Jiuling.

Lu Jiuling had no idea what Jiang Shan and the others were thinking. When he was beating the woman in the cheongsam, he noticed that the female ghost was trying to dodge.

I don't know if it was fear of pain or fear of fire, but in any case, the fire attack was effective.

After being struck more than a dozen times, the torches completely ignited the hair of the vengeful spirit in the cheongsam. It no longer cared about attacking Lu Jiuling, but instead screamed and rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames.

But it's useless!

The flames quickly ignited, even setting the cheongsam on its body ablaze.

This scene may have intimidated the other female vengeful spirits, who remained floating on the periphery and did not come to attack Lu Jiuling.

About ten seconds later, the female vengeful spirit burst into flames, the flames shooting into the sky like a giant human torch. Then, in this burning, her body visibly turned into ashes, which scattered into the air.

Bangta!

A tiny thing, about the size of a palm, fell to the ground.

Lu Jiuling bent down, quickly picked it up, and ran back.

My judgment was correct; these female vengeful spirits weren't afraid of red lanterns, but of fire.

This one’s a sure win!
Lu Jiuling returned to the small team. The red lanterns under the eaves illuminated the surroundings with a dark red hue, like the bloodstains left after swatting a mosquito.

"Brother 69, shall I carry this for you?"

Jia Mingqiao reached out to take the torch.

He also realized that the female vengeful spirits were afraid of fire, and that carrying a torch could save their lives.

Snapped!
Lu Jiuling slapped Jia Mingqiao's hand away: "If you want torches, go find some bamboo yourself!"

Jia Mingqiao glanced at the bamboo grove more than 20 meters away and didn't dare to go over to collect bamboo.

"690, those female ghosts are probably afraid of fire. Let's go and collect bamboo to make torches. That way, everyone can have one, and the female ghosts definitely won't dare to attack us!"

Xu Shuo wanted Lu Jiuling to protect everyone as they crossed the bamboo forest.

This is safer.

"Xu Shuo, before you ask for 690, shouldn't you apologize for offending him this morning?"

Li Yinuo is making her stance clear.

690,

From now on, I'm on your side!
"..."

Xu Shuo's face immediately darkened.

Are you kidding me? You want me to apologize?

Lu Jiuling didn't take Xu Shuo seriously. Just as he was about to see what he had picked up, a soft and fragrant body pounced on him and hugged his waist.

"Lu Jiuling, thank you!"

Xu Shaowei was very excited after surviving the ordeal, so she hugged him very tightly. In addition, it was springtime and people were wearing less clothing, so Lu Jiuling could clearly feel two soft mounds pressed against his body.

It feels surprisingly comfortable to the touch!
