Chapter 157 Sky Demon ([-])

In the dark night, one after another torches were lit, and everyone walked quickly along the road towards Cannes with torches in hand.

In this cold winter, the night wind was very strong, and everyone was soon so cold that their ears and noses turned red, and the breath they exhaled formed a cloud of white mist in front of their faces.

Zhang Zhikuan took off his overcoat, put it on the petite body of his daughter Zhang Ying, and said as he walked:
"Remember what I told you?"

14-year-old daughter Zhang Ying nodded while holding a copper pot.

Zhang Zhikuan patted Zhang Ying on the head, sighed and said:
"Then go there quickly, as I said, don't come back after you go."

Zhang Ying is a chubby girl, she looked at Zhang Zhikuan reluctantly:
"Father, what do you do then?"

"Father is fine," Zhang Zhikuan comforted, "Hurry up, you will be safe only if you stay by Jiang Tuozhu's side."

As Zhang Ying walked forward, she looked back at her father, and finally came to Jiang Yuan and his party at the front of the line.

The gang members of the Red Tiger Altar were just a little girl, and she was also a classmate of the two ladies, so they didn't stop her.

Zhang Ying came to Jiang Yuan's side smoothly, but she didn't dare to look at Jiang Yuan. There were too many scary legends about this man.

She forced a smile on her face, and said to Li Siyan and Chen Yin:
"Two junior sisters, are you thirsty after walking for so long? I have a pot of fruit juice here, which can just quench your thirst."

Facing Zhang Ying's enthusiasm, Li Siyan and Chen Yin thanked each other while drinking the fruit pulp in the copper pot with Zhang Ying.

The three children were talking and laughing, appearing to be more relaxed than the adults around them.

Even after drinking the fruit pulp, Zhang Ying still stayed by Li Siyan and Chen Yin's side. All this was explained by her father Zhang Zhikuan. Only by staying here can she ensure her safety to the greatest extent.

Zhang Zhikuan in the distance has been staring at everything nervously, for fear that Jiang Yuan will drive his daughter away, but fortunately until now, Jiang Yuan has not paid any attention to his daughter's intentions, so he is relieved.

Beside Zhang Zhikuan is the teacher Zhuo Yiming, Zhuo Yiming laughed and said:
"Boss Zhang really loves his daughter so much, he exchanged a pot of fruit juice for Ling Qianjin's thoughtfulness."

Zhang Zhikuan sighed and said:
"Mr. Zhuo, you don't know. I have given birth to seven sons, and there is only one daughter. I can't help but love her a little more. By the way, Mr. Zhuo, it's so dark, and we set off with torches. Is it easy for ghosts to see? Shall I go up and suggest to Lord Jiang Tuo to put out the torch?"

Zhuo Yiming shook his head:

"The eyesight of ghosts far exceeds that of ordinary people, especially this black-winged sky demon. In fact, ghosts often rely on the vitality of living people to prey, not just relying on their eyes. Therefore, it does not matter to ghosts whether they have torches or not. so that we cannot see."

"Mr. Zhuo is really knowledgeable!" Zhang Zhikuan praised casually, "We have traveled for such a long time, the distance from Cannes should be—"

Zhang Zhikuan hadn't finished speaking when a shrill scream suddenly sounded from behind the team:
"Ah—! Help!"

The two hurriedly turned their heads and looked towards the rear, only to see a black figure descending from the sky without a sound, grabbing a living person at the end of the team viciously, and then flapping its wings fiercely to fly high.

The scream of the living man grew louder and louder, and finally disappeared in the dark sky.

All the people nearby were stunned for a while, and then screamed in horror.

"That's Boss Jiao!" Zhang Zhikuan's heart trembled, and the chill ran down his spine to the back of his head.

I thought it was safe to follow Jiang Yuan, but who would have thought that the ghosts would still start preying.

He hurriedly looked towards the front of the team, expecting Jiang Yuan to do something.

However, I saw that Jiang Yuan just acted as if he didn't see or hear, and continued to move forward with the help of Star Demon Sea.

"Isn't even Jiang Tuozhu helpless?"

Zhang Zhikuan's heart sank, and he hurriedly ran towards the people in the Star Demon Sea. At this time, the closer he was to them, the safer he would appear.

The living people around him obviously had the same idea, they swarmed forward, trying to break through the obstruction of the Star Demon Sea gang, and swarmed around Jiang Yuan.

However, those members of the Star Demon Sea Gang swung their knives and swung their knives, blood spattered everywhere, and the first few people were cut down by sharp blades.

Just listen to Cen Lei storm drinking:

"Whoever dares to collide with the rudder master, kill him!"

Immediately, no one dared to move forward anymore, they kept a distance from the Star Demon Sea gang members in horror, and could only hang behind to follow.

Jiang Yuan didn't even look back, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Zhang Zhikuan kept staring at his daughter closely, only to see her daughter Zhang Ying kept turning her head and looking at him worriedly, but she finally stayed with Jiang Yuan's two adopted daughters obediently, and Jiang Yuan ignored her.

This made Zhang Zhikuan feel a little relieved.

The cold night is cold, and the north wind is like a knife.

In the middle of the night, low-pitched cries, mournful pleadings and painful screams were heard one after another in the team.

"Mr. Zhuo" Zhang Zhikuan asked sadly, "If I die, will I also become a ghost?"

Zhuo Yiming replied:

"If you were killed by a ghost, it's very likely. But if you died of illness and old age, then you won't. As far as I know, whether a person can become a ghost or not is related to evil spirits. When evil spirits enter the body but not the soul, they become Zombies; when evil enters the soul but not the body, it turns into a ghost; and when evil enters the body and soul, it turns into something grotesque.”

Zhang Zhikuan heard this and asked:

"Then what is evil and where does it come from? I would rather die of illness or be hacked to death than become that kind of ghost!"

Zhuo Yiming shook his head:

"This is a mystery since ancient times, and it is not something ordinary people like me can understand."

Zhang Zhikuan said dejectedly:
"If I can go back alive during this trip, I must do more good deeds and worship more gods. By the way, Mr. Zhuo, who is the god in charge of life and death?"

Zhuo Yiming replied:

"Master Chief."

Zhang Zhikuan nodded:

"Yes! I will definitely pay for the construction of a temple for Da Siming God, and the incense will continue day and night!"

Zhuo Yiming secretly shook his head helplessly, could he really gain protection by worshiping the gods?

At this time, Zhang Zhikuan suddenly said in doubt:
"Look, Mr. Zhuo, what are Jiang Ruozhu and the others doing?"

Zhuo Yiming raised his head and looked towards the front of the team, only to see that Jiang Yuan was looking at the night sky while giving orders loudly.

Then, Jiang Yuan untied his robe and covered the heads of the three little girls Li Siyan, Chen Yin and Zhang Ying.

The rest of the Star Demon Sea gang also took off their coats and held them above their heads, as if they were trying to avoid the heavy rain.

Zhuo Yiming was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly untied his robe:
"Boss Zhang, hurry up! Just learn from them!"

Zhang Zhikuan was still confused:
"What the hell is this doing?"

"I don't know either!" Zhuo Yiming replied quickly, "But Master Jiang must have his reasons for doing this! Let's hurry up!"

After speaking, Zhuo Yiming had already untied his coat and put it over his head.

But Zhang Zhikuan's movements were much slower. He had already taken off his coat to his daughter Zhang Ying because he was worried that Zhang Ying would catch the cold.

He was wearing some close-fitting clothes that would be difficult to untie for a while, and when he was in a hurry, something fell from the sky.

What fell like raindrops was some viscous liquid.

This piece of liquid fell and covered the heads and faces of many people in the team, including Zhang Zhikuan.

Zhang Zhikuan only thought that what fell was just some blood like it was in the rice field, but when he reached out and wiped his face, he realized that what was in his palm was not blood, but some black mucus like oil.

In his bewildered eyes, he saw a sudden change in the black mucus in his palm.

Small round worm eggs suddenly floated up in the mucus, and then some linear worms like long and thin roundworms drilled out from these eggs.

"What the hell is this?!"

Zhang Zhikuan yelled in horror, and quickly tried to slap the bugs off his hands, face, head, and neck.

When these insects felt the smell of living flesh and blood, they suddenly burrowed into Zhang Zhikuan's skin extremely viciously, leaving only a tiny blood hole on the smooth skin.

"They...they went in!" Zhang Zhikuan was terrified, "They got into my body!"

Zhuo Yiming quickly threw away the clothes that covered his head, and the black mucus was all over the clothes, so that he was not contaminated.

Those bugs penetrated into Zhang Zhikuan's skin, but Zhuo Yiming could see them more clearly than Zhang Zhikuan.

Countless silk-like insects raised their heads from the black mucus, and then burrowed into Zhang Zhikuan's exposed skin, even into Zhang Zhikuan's eyes a lot, making his eyes red with blood.

"Help me!" Zhang Zhikuan couldn't see anything, and his hands were scratching around, "Help me!"

Zhuo Yiming was startled, and hurriedly dodged far away from Zhang Zhikuan, looking at Zhang Zhikuan's miserable situation with his scalp numb.

I saw Zhang Zhikuan scratching around for a while, a look of extreme pain suddenly appeared on his face, his ten fingers suddenly stretched out to his skin, scratching frantically.

He scratched his face, neck, and chest, and the places he scratched were all bloody, and among the torn flesh, he could faintly see those silk-like insects running through the flesh and blood.

His index finger grasped harder and harder, and in the end he even scratched his belly, exposing the internal organs inside.

"Ah!" Zhang Zhikuan howled in pain, "Kill me! It hurts so much! Let me go, kill me!"

"Father!" His daughter Zhang Ying cried and screamed when she saw this scene.

Zhang Ying wanted to run towards Zhang Zhikuan, but was hugged tightly by Li Siyan and Chen Yin.

Zhang Zhikuan was in so much pain that he couldn't stand up, and he was writhing on the ground in pain. The nails of his ten fingers were scratched too hard, and the nails turned up one after another.

There are not a few people who look like Zhang Zhikuan in the team.

Anyone who was doused by the black mucus screamed, scratched and howled in extreme pain, including men, women and children.

This kind of pain did not make them die. Instead, they continued to suffer from the torment like ten thousand insects biting their bones until their voices were hoarse and exhausted, and the pain would not disappear.

Amidst the panic and grief of everyone, Jiang Yuan slowly walked over, bright flames rising from his hands:

"Let me free them."
