A bizarre resurgence begins with a pact made by a weasel.

Chapter 28 Ghost Beast

The tunnel inside the furnace was a slope.

Xie Qing covered his mouth and nose as he slid down the slope, and just as he was about to reach the bottom, he suddenly leaped up.

The bottom was covered with sharp spikes.

"It's hedgehog skin!"

The bottom of the tunnel was covered with gray-white, spiky hedgehog skin.

More importantly, the pieced-together hide was constantly wriggling, like a conveyor belt in a factory. The corpses thrown from the furnace were impaled and fixed by these spikes, and then transported deeper into the porcupine hide as it wriggled.

"This is truly flesh-and-blood technology."

Xie Qing sighed and flicked his finger.

call out!

A drop of Sun-Slaying Dew was precisely thrown onto a spike. The dark gold liquid instantly solidified, firmly enveloping the needle tip. Xie Qing tapped his toes, using the momentum to fly forward.

After several attempts, he fell into a dark cave. The cave was low, but there was a huge circular pit in the center of the ground, with a faint mist floating inside.

Boom boom boom!

My heart is beating faster and faster.

The palpitations grew stronger.

Xie Qing could sense that something closely related to her was inside this round pit.

He slid down the rock face.

As you go down, the ground and stones gradually turn a cold white, much like the color scheme of a hospital, with holes leading in all directions, as if to different departments.

He even saw many dried-up bodies hidden in the cracks and pits of the rocks.

quickly,

Xie Qing then landed on the ground.

His expression turned serious as he carefully scanned his surroundings for any potential dangers.

The god smelled a thick, pungent stench of decay, as heavy and viscous as tar, utterly devoid of fluidity. Six Ears, however, heard no sound; there were no animals around, not even the wriggling of insects.

He put on a mask.

Its size gradually decreased.

After walking about 300 meters more, the fog became thicker and thicker, almost turning gray.

call!

suddenly,

A clear inhalation suddenly rang out in the distance.

Xie Qing's ears twitched, and he slowly turned to the side.

The inhalation was so long and deep, lasting for more than a minute, and it was done without any attempt to conceal it.

call!

next moment,

It was the sound of a long, drawn-out exhalation.

The continuous inhalation and exhalation caused the viscous mist to flow and become slightly thinner.

Xie Qing could feel the breathing getting closer and closer to her.

He stood still.

Sixteen mermaid corpses fell in all directions.

The formation had only been set up for a short time when Xie Qing suddenly stopped, halting all his movements.

He looked up and gazed at the upper right.

There, a thin mist swirled.

One head after another slowly emerged, including men, women, young and old. Their expressions were ferocious, their mouths were open, and as if they noticed Xie Qing's gaze, they shook their heads and made sounds that were both crying and laughing.

but,

But Liu Er reminded him that the real danger lay below.

Xie Qing withdrew her gaze.

Below, in the thick fog.

A black sphere, about the size of a human head, emerged.

Next came a grayish-white trunk, and finally a body the size of an African elephant.

It was a huge, grayish-white hedgehog with human heads sticking up its back, curiously watching Xie Qing.

Neither the man nor the beast moved; they simply stood quietly in place.

Time passed slowly.

The hedgehog finally couldn't hold back any longer.

It opened its mouth,

"fragrant!"

"You smell so good!"

Xie Qing looked at the gaping maw and laughed.

He understood.

The throbbing sensation originated from that scarlet throat, within the monster's body.

******************

A boy and a girl ran together through the dilapidated streets.

"Luckily, that car stopped in time today, otherwise we would have been in serious trouble."

"That young master was kind-hearted and didn't blame us for our rashness."

The young girl spoke softly.

The boy nodded and gripped the steamed bun in his hand tightly.

If you crumble the steamed bun and add a little water, you can make it into a bowl of porridge, which is easy to feed to Grandpa. Since my younger brother disappeared, Grandpa's health has been deteriorating, and he can no longer eat anything else.

unfortunately,

The foreigner was suddenly shot in the head.

This means that he will never be able to get these high-quality steamed buns again.

That foreigner had malicious intentions; he would often throw steamed buns in the middle of the road where carriages and horses were about to pass, luring poor people to risk picking them up.

The boy, of course, knew what the other person was thinking.

but,

At least we can find some steamed buns!

Given their current situation, they simply cannot afford these delicate and soft white steamed buns.

The boy suppressed his inner turmoil, not wanting his sister to find out.

As he neared his house, a commotion startled him awake. He looked ahead and his eyes widened in horror:

"grandfather!!"

"What are you going to do!?"

The old man, whose back was being trampled by the soldiers, suddenly sprang up from the mud. His withered arms wrapped tightly around the soldiers' thighs like ropes, and he roared with all his might, "Sheng'er, go, go quickly!!!"

The young man's blood boiled.

next moment

Swish!

It shimmered with silver light.

The withered, aged head fell to the ground with a thud.

He stared straight ahead, his eyes wide, words lingering between his parted lips.

The boy suddenly stopped.

All the passion turned to ice.

He trembled and used all his strength to push the girl backward:

"Xiaoying, run, run fast!!"

With tears streaming down his face, he rushed toward the officers and soldiers who were charging towards him.

Bang!

The world spun around.

He fell into the ground, and everything in his vision was red.

He tried his best to look ahead, hoping to see the fleeing figure, but all he saw was a steamed bun.

The dark skin turned bright red.

Steamed bun.

Grandpa's steamed buns.

"This is the first one. There are twenty-four more. The priest has ordered them to be secretly apprehended before evening."

"clear."

**********

call!

Xie Qing stomped hard with his toes, narrowly avoiding a spike as thick as a child's arm, but he couldn't avoid the other spikes flying from the left and right.

The demonic beast trembled, and countless sharp spikes shot towards him from all directions at incredible speed.

Xie Qing flicked his sleeve, and a large mass of Sun-Slaying Dew appeared. In an instant, it transformed into a thin film that enveloped Xie Qing, and then hardened into a solid metal shell.

Bang bang bang! !

Spikes struck the metal casing one after another.

Xie Qing even saw tiny spiderweb-like cracks beginning to spread rapidly.

but,

They managed to stop the attack in the end.

Xie Qing acted decisively, concentrating all his strength in his arm and slamming it hard against the metal casing.

"go!!"

Swish! !

The metal casing cracked into countless bullets that hurtled towards the demon beast.

The hedgehog calmly swayed its back, while the human heads embedded in it widened their eyes, screaming and crying out, spewing thick black smoke from their mouths, noses, and ears like a pressure cooker, instantly corroding and melting the incoming metal.

The thick smoke grew thicker and thicker, eventually coalescing into a giant skull that lunged at Xie Qing.

"The Two Generals, Heng and Ha!!"

Xie Qing pointed his fingertips forward, and two golden-armored generals burst forth from the air.

He swung his crescent-shaped blade downwards.

Swish!

The skull was split in two.

They split into two smaller individuals and engaged in a fierce battle with the two guardian generals, Heng and Ha.

Xie Qing turned and ran away.

The demon beast howled in resentment.

I'm so hungry!!

I'm so hungry!!!

It curled up, rolling towards Xie Qing like a ball.
