Weak in affinity talent? Female ghosts are eager to give hints.

"Damn it..."

"These guys..."

With a slight frown, Zhao Kuo felt a chill run down his spine when he saw these strange people open their mouths!

"I'm so hungry! I'm so hungry!!!"

"I'm starving!!!"

"..."

After one whimper after another, grease began to sizzle and bubble from the roof of the [Zhaitang] (vegetarian hall).

White and yellow viscous oil dripped down from the sky with a "plop, plop," and the piled-up heads jostled and squeezed to suck up the dripping brownish-yellow oil...

The top of the wall... the top of the wall has turned into a giant block of cured meat!!!

Due to weathering, the grease is constantly seeping and dripping...

The white powder on the walls melted like cream, releasing the aroma of milk cake. Donut-like sweet powder sprouted from the floor, and the door to the [Dormitory] transformed into two equally sized hamburger buns...

This place instantly transforms into a world of food!

Can!

No matter how much those heads sucked the grease, their bellies under the table just wouldn't bulge!

"Hungry!"

I'm starving!!!

The groans continued!

Zhao Kuo instinctively sensed something was wrong and took a few steps back to leave...

however!

After taking only two or three steps, with cream oozing from the ground beneath his feet, Zhao Kuo suddenly realized that he seemed to be grabbed by something, his body being pulled by something, and he just couldn't move!

"Um?!"

Try to walk backward as far as you can, and your body will lean backward, but the force is still there, and you will be pulled back in an instant!

"who?!!"

Looking around, apart from the corridor that had been turned into a donut, there was still no one around!

In this bizarre scene, Zhao Kuo failed to notice that beside his own shadow stood a small, eerie shadow. That shadow, like a little imp, clung tightly to his legs, blending into the shadows of the corridor!

[Red King will arrive in two hours: Holy crap! Long Ao's place is a killing hell, and what's Zhao Kuo's place? A hungry ghost realm? It's all food!]

[The bread is so soft: 666! Would Zhao Kuo be afraid of these things?!]

[The Dream of 80 Million Girls: Shouldn't it be these evil spirits that are running away?]

【...】

The viewers watching Zhao Kuo's actions seemed completely unconcerned about what he might do.

Zhao Kuo struggled on the spot for a while, his feet gradually sinking into the "donut" shape of the ground. The crisp, baked aroma of wheat wafted through the air, and Zhao Kuo couldn't help but swallow hard...

"Damn it...whoever you are!"

You've messed with the wrong person!

The patterns of "horse" and "deer" in his pupils began to intertwine. In Zhao Kuo's eyes, the "donut" ground around him, which was constantly sinking, had turned into a clear ocean. As he entered the water, he himself began to twist and turn into a fish!

"Pop—"

"Pop—"

"Pop—"

And then, a bizarre scene unfolded!

Zhao Kuo...

Even though he was stuck in the ground, he somehow managed to swim underground, in the corridor... as if he were a fish burrowing underground!

"Pop...pop...pop..."

The only strange thing was that, because he was moving underground, the thick, murky soil appeared as water to Zhao Kuo. After his fish-like self inhaled and exhaled the water, Zhao Kuo inexplicably tasted the sweetness of cream in his mouth and couldn't help but increase the frequency of changing the water...

"Pop!"

It's really weird!

A man was buried in the ground, in the hard, dry soil. His head was buried in the earth, and he was eating with relish...

"W...D...Fa..."

???

In the distance—at the very end of the corridor—Shudra was dumbfounded! He lay prostrate on the ground outside the corridor, motionless!

His original intention was actually very simple!

That means Zhao Kuo was trapped inside that [dining hall]!

after all...

The scene in the [Zhaitang] is quite eerie. If Zhao Kuo had stayed inside, he probably wouldn't have survived long!

Can!

Something's not right!

This guy is absolutely outrageous!

They're all so trapped they're practically buried in the ground. How could he possibly bury his head in the dirt and eat dirt?!

It's a person?!

Shudra felt his entire worldview was being shattered!

"No...no..."

"Let's launch an attack directly..."

"If I can't kill this guy, I need to get out of this area quickly... This place is too eerie! Too eerie!"

Feeling a sudden difficulty breathing, Shudra took out a dagger from his robes, closed his eyes, and a dark shadow emerged from beneath his feet, rapidly hurtling towards Zhao Kuo...

The shadowy figure, wielding a dagger, slashed directly at the neck of Zhao Kuo's shadow!

Zhao Kuo was still eating dirt!

My stomach is already round and bulging from eating!

but...

The craving for food continues to grow!

"I'm so hungry—I'm so hungry—"

For some reason, he subconsciously shouted out those words, "starving ghost!"

Blood-red patterns had already spread across his stomach, but Zhao Kuo still had his senses. After the "horse" and "deer" patterns crossed in his eyes again, he was still in the water... but his body shape had changed from a fish... to a whale!

"Snoring—"

He opened his mouth wide and inhaled a mouthful of soil. This time, the bloating and pain in his stomach subsided. Zhao Kuo still didn't leave the vicinity of the [Zhaitang], but instead surfaced and began gnawing on the [bread pillar] in the corridor...

"I'm so hungry! I'm so hungry!!!"

The groans continued.

"Die!!!"

A dark shadow swiftly attacked, its blade aimed at Zhao Kuo's shadow's neck. However, upon striking Zhao Kuo's neck, the shadow's dagger vibrated with a "whoosh" and rebounded rapidly...

"What?!"

The shadow was clearly incredulous and, defiant, stabbed Zhao Kuo's shadow in the neck several times!

"Buzz—"

"Buzz—"

"Buzz—"

Can!

Every strike was met with a recoil!

"this..."

"How is this possible?!"

"this--"

Outside the corridor, Shudra was completely bewildered.

Is that correct?

Where is there a human shadow, and why is it so solid?

He couldn't understand, he simply couldn't understand why Zhao Kuo, whose half-body was in the ground and whose half-body was clinging to a pillar and gnawing at it, had now transformed into a whale!

He...couldn't possibly cut off a whale's head!

"Damn it! I don't care anymore! I don't care anymore!"

"I have to go! I have to go right now!"

The moment Shudra realized he couldn't kill Zhao Kuo, he immediately tried to get up...

but!

"Thump—"

He suddenly realized that he couldn't stand up!

Looking down, I saw that my trouser legs were completely greasy... and the bottom of the trousers was empty, dangling precariously...

"this--"

I tore open a corner of my pants to look, and saw that my thighs were now nothing but skin and bones, the skin still secreting oil, which dripped continuously...

"My...my body is being secreted into oil?!"

"What the hell is this?! What the hell is this place?!"

The Shudras panicked!

I'm completely panicked!

After his legs became too thin to move, he simply grabbed the surrounding mud with both hands, trying to crawl out of the [Zhaitang] area.

However...

"Tick-tock...tick-tock...tick-tock..."

next second!

His face began to ooze oil, and with a "plop," he sank into the mud, covered in a large patch of "cream," unable to move, buried in the soil and secreting oil...

"No!!! No—!!!"

"[Invalidate]! [Invalidate]!!!"

He desperately used his remaining abilities, the surrounding cream thickening, but the oil seeping from his body... increased even faster!

Just for a moment!

He became as thin as a dried-up human body!

[My family has a divine cow: Holy crap! What the hell is this place?!]

[Yokogawa, my mother: Is it... is it hell? To be boiled into oil residue?]

[Hand-grabbed Curry: Is this temple really only S-rank? How come it's a one-hit kill everywhere it goes?!]

【...】

At the same time, the comments section on the [India] side exploded!

The strength of [Shin-hidden Temple] is too high!

She's such a supermodel!

"I'm so hungry..."

I'm starving!!!

Zhao Kuo, though not yet turned into fat, had certainly developed a huge appetite and, still unsatisfied, headed towards the [dining hall]...

He could feel the enormous stomach made up of countless human heads...

It seems to be calling to itself!

(If I could merge with them... and eat together, it would probably be even more enjoyable, right?)

(I guess I can eat more?)

With this thought in mind, Zhao Kuo moved even closer to the "big appetite" in the dining hall...

......

The perspective shifts back to An Lan and Wen Lan.

【Zen Room - Room for Clearing Karma】

After searching the room for a while without finding anything, An Lan shook his head and glanced outside. Confirming no one was outside, he pulled Wen Lan along, this time heading towards the abbot's meditation room.

"Hey! An Lan... are you crazy?"

"This is the host's room... If we're discovered going in..."

"Shh-"

"Never mind that..."

"Let's go inside and see if there's anything in the host's room..."

"Creak—"

As soon as the two opened the door and slipped inside, a figure flashed into view in the hallway, watching their movements with a glint in their eyes.

Although the Brahmin's crystal ball shattered into pieces, it did not prevent him from activating his talent again.

He closed his eyes and began to murmur, "Stars...please tell me, what guidance do you give me next...is it to report An Lan for intruding into the host's room and harming him...or—"

I was halfway through my sentence when the image of Sirius flashing in my mind appeared.

"Um?!"

"Sirius?"

"Sirius is twinkling... which means... which means the future is exceptionally fraught with danger... Wolves are pack animals, which means the danger won't be a one-off event?! This—this..."

The Brahmin hesitated!

He originally planned to inform the host immediately after An Lan entered the host's room!

How could this possibly harm him?

But what exactly does this celestial phenomenon mean?

While the Brahmin was still undecided, An Lan frantically searched through the cabinets in the [Abbot's] room, but still found nothing.

The layout here is not much different from the little monk's. I was just wondering if there was anything hidden under the old nun's bedsheets—

An Lan reached out to pull the bed sheet...

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The ground inside the house shook violently, as if it had cracked open.

"Holy crap?! Was that an earthquake?"

"Anlan! You...you look! Outside! Outside!!!"

Wen Lan, supporting herself against the wall, barely managed to steady herself amidst the swaying, then suddenly pointed outside in astonishment!

Outside, the sky had turned blood red at some point...

A blood-red mist hung in the air. The corridors and the surrounding meditation rooms had all vanished. The ground outside was covered with gnarled old tree roots. Only the abbot's room remained!

"I'm awesome..."

"Where the hell did I get this?"

"Is this still a meditation room?!"

An Lan craned her neck and glanced outside. The old road, its roots intertwined, stretched into the distance, dark and seemingly endless. The air was thick with a viscous blood mist, from which drops of blood occasionally seeped...

here?

Where exactly is it?!
