Swordholder

Some were complete strangers, while others were members of the Chen family who had died earlier!

Without hesitation, Chen Zhaoning ignited flames in his hand and swept it out horizontally!

Boom!

Where the flames swept, many dead-faced figures let out shrill screams!

Chen Yuan and Chen Zhaoning covered the rear, with Chen Yuan continuously throwing fireballs towards the passage behind them and the monsters with dead faces.

The raging flames were accompanied by heart-wrenching screams, and countless figures vanished into nothingness in the sea of ​​fire.

"Walk!"

Chen Yuan grabbed Chen Zhaoning's hand and immediately turned to chase after the Chen family members ahead.

But soon, when they caught up with the group, they discovered that countless dark shadows were spreading across the walls above, below, left, and right in front of them!

"What is that?"

Chen Zhaoning's pupils suddenly contracted.

"That's hair!"

Chen Yuan felt uneasy and extremely helpless.

Why do these evil spirits keep coming in waves?

He didn't have time to think about anything else and immediately shouted, "Awei, watch out for the hair on the wall!"

As soon as he finished speaking, it seemed to startle the hairs on the wall. They suddenly accelerated, crawling and spreading across the wall like pythons, sweeping towards the Chen family.

Soon, someone's feet were tangled in hair and dragged into the darkness. The screams were only heard twice before they disappeared instantly.

shhhhhh...

Countless strands of hair, as thick as an arm, intertwined and danced in the air like black snakes in motion!

Holy crap!

Li Wei and the others were terrified and couldn't help but scream; their scalps were about to explode.

"Use fire!"

Chen Yuan roared and accelerated, continuously throwing fireballs at the hair.

Although it temporarily pushed back some of the hair, quite a few people were still strangled to death by the hair tangling around their necks!

Some people have had hair enter their stomach through their mouth, then emerge from their nose, eyes, ears, and even other parts of their body, tearing them apart alive.

The scene was horrific.

Chen Yuan watched as another twenty or thirty of his companions died, his eyes wide with rage!

But soon, he looked sullen again, pulling the sticky rice that was eating hair away from his head.

"Nuomi, stop eating, your hair is dirty."

"But..." Nuomi licked her lips, "This tastes really good, it's like eating rice noodles."

Everyone, "..."

Everyone realized that Nuomi was no ordinary person, and they all moved closer to her.

When the hairs saw the glutinous rice eating them, they screamed in terror and retreated in unison.

"Hey, don't go! I'm not full yet."

Nuomi wanted to chase after the hair, but Chen Yuan scooped her up. Looking at the corpses of his dead companions on the ground, his gaze swept darkly over the remaining people.

"Hurry up and go."

As soon as he finished speaking, he put Chen Zhaoning at the front of the group.

He and Nuomi were at the back of the line.

The group continued upwards.

Not long after they left, a chilling wind and sinister laughter came from behind Chen Yuan again.

"Hehehehe..."

A sinister laugh came out, the laughter indistinguishable between male and female, as if it were both, intertwined, sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right, surrounding him, or as if someone was breathing in his ear!

"damn it!"

Chen Yuan couldn't help but curse, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

He took a deep breath and ran frantically, throwing fireballs behind him to force back the strange creatures.

But those things followed him like a shadow, only wary of the flames on his body and dared not launch an attack rashly.

Nuomi, meanwhile, was perched on Chen Yuan's shoulder, munching on her fingers while drooling as she looked at the back of the tunnel.

Chen Yuan had no choice but to release the glutinous rice if those strange or evil spirits caught up with him again.

However, he couldn't guarantee that glutinous rice, regardless of its high status, would be eaten by the other party.

"Damn, this passage is way too long!"

At that moment, Li Wei's angry curses came from the line ahead.

"Ah Yuan, come quick and check if we've taken the wrong path!"

Li Wei shouted again.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan had no choice but to have Chen Zhaoning and Chen Jianming cover the rear. He carried Nuomi, ran to the front of the group, and inspected the situation before saying in a deep voice:

"I shouldn't have gone the wrong way."

Suddenly, Chen Yuan felt that the originally dry ground had become wet, and a pungent, fishy smell wafted from it.

His heart sank, and a terrifying thought surged into his mind!

Is it blood?

At this moment, Li Wei spoke in a trembling voice, "Ah...A Yuan, are you behind me?"

Chen Yuan turned his head and glanced at him. In the dim light, he could clearly see an infant lying on Li Wei's back.

The baby was about six or seven months old, with black claws growing from its tiny hands, gripping Li Wei's clothes tightly as if afraid of falling off.

Chen Yuan gasped, but didn't speak immediately.

"Ah...Ah Yuan, say something?"

"Why... do I feel someone leaning on my back? Is it one of the Chen family members?"

Li Wei's voice trembled even more, "Damn it, can't he walk by himself?"

"What are you doing, lying on my back?"

"Ah Yuan, please help me, I'm too scared to turn around."

Li Wei's voice was trembling with tears, clearly indicating that he had a bad feeling.

Humans are instinctively afraid of the unknown.

Although Li Wei was already at the Dharma Body Realm and his combat strength was not weak, unlike Chen Yuan, he had already been struggling in this world for a year and was used to danger.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath. "I'm right next to you."

"what……"

Li Wei cried out, his voice trembling with tears, "Who...who is that? Is it Nuomi?"

"I...I'm with Brother Ayuan."

Nuomi's voice rang out strangely, accompanied by the sound of swallowing saliva.

Chen Yuan glanced at Nuomi on his shoulder and noticed that she was looking at the baby at the sluice gate, just like when she saw roast duck before.

Chen Yuan felt helpless and looked at the baby on Li Wei's back again.

Originally, the baby's head was facing away from Chen Yuan.

But just then, it slowly turned its head, revealing a pale, gloomy, and lifeless little boy's face!

A pair of eyes without pupils, only the whites of the eyes, met Chen Yuan's gaze directly.

Then, it slowly opened its mouth, revealing two sharp fangs as long as two fingers...

Chen Yuan's pupils slowly contracted!

"Gurgle!"

He swallowed hard, then suddenly teased, "Li Wei, have you ever had an abortion?"

"what?"

Li Wei was completely dumbfounded and had no idea what was going on.

"Rumor has it that if a woman has had an abortion, her unborn child will come looking for its heartless father and ask why he didn't give birth to it."

Chen Yuan deliberately slowed down his speech, "It didn't even have time to see the prosperity of the human world before it died like this. It must be unwilling."

He said that to tease Li Wei and ease the strange and oppressive atmosphere.

Li Wei's body trembled even more violently: "No...no way? Why would I have an abortion? I'm still a virgin!"

"Pah, shameless!"

Chen Yuan couldn't help but curse at him.

"Ah...Young Master!"

"Young...Young Miss!"

"Save...us!!"

……

At that moment, trembling cries for help came from the crowd behind them.

"I...I also felt someone on my back!"

"Oh, it...it's blowing air onto my neck!"

"Me, the thing on my back..."

"It's choking me... No, no... Cough cough cough..."

"No, no! I feel something under my feet..."

"A hand was grabbing my ankle, it was hairy, lots of hair..."

……

The terrified voices rose and fell, some calling for Chen Yuan, others for Chen Zhaoning.

In the hearts of the Chen family members, Chen Yuan and Chen Zhaoning are undoubtedly the most reliable.

These voices were kept low, yet they carried an undisguised sob, as if they were about to erupt completely at any moment.

Some people even made muffled groans of suffocation.

Chen Yuan's heart tightened, and he looked back again, only to see that behind each of the Chen family members was a baby lying on their stomach.

The infants included both boys and girls, and in the dim light, their pale, lifeless faces were clearly visible.

"Don't move them, let them lie down!"

These are hungry ghost infants; if you ignore them, they won't attack you.

Chen Jianming whispered a reminder, seemingly aware of the characteristics of this evil spirit. Without turning his head, he continued walking quickly ahead.

Hungry ghost baby?

It is probably different from the previous puppet ghost baby.

Chen Yuan's gaze sharpened as he noticed an infant's head perched on Chen Jianming's shoulder, staring fiercely at him.

The baby had no hands, but used its sharp teeth to bite Chen Jianming's clothes.

Chen Yuan gasped, then realized what was happening.

Damn it, I got scared by a little ghost baby?

So he stared at the baby, his eyes widening even more than the baby's, and even deliberately made a fierce expression.

The infant was stunned when it saw that Chen Yuan was not only unafraid, but also glared at it instead.

"Heh heh, you brat, you think you can handle me?"

Chen Yuan sneered inwardly, aiming the iron spike in his hand as if to say,

Look again, look again and I'll poke your eyes out!

"Hehehe..."

"Daddy... are you going to go out and play on our backs?"

"But, Daddy, I'm so hungry..."

"I'm so hungry..."

"Hungry……"

……

At that moment, eerie child voices echoed through the silent tunnel, sending chills down everyone's spines.

Especially those who feel something on their back immediately feel a cool, itchy sensation on their neck.

It felt like someone was blowing air into them, and they couldn't take it anymore, so they all screamed.

"ah!!!"

Terrified screams echoed throughout the underground tunnel!

Unable to withstand the onslaught of fear any longer, the people struggled frantically to shake off the infants on their backs, while others ran wildly forward, disregarding everything.

"Don't panic! If you panic, you'll be attacked!"

Chen Jianming was shocked and immediately shouted to stop him.

But the situation was completely out of control, and no one could bear the thought of a strange, ghostly thing crawling behind them.

Some people ran frantically, while others reached out to pull the hungry ghost babies from their backs.

"Waaaaah, I'm hungry..."

The hungry ghost infants were shaken violently, and their cries grew even more mournful.

Then, it opened its mouth and bit down hard on the neck of the Chen family member it was clinging to!

"Click, click..."

"what……"

The sounds of chewing and screams mingled together. Some of the Chen family members had their necks bitten off by the infants behind them, and blood gushed out!

Then his head rolled to the ground, his eyes wide open, filled with terror.
