Chapter 3256 Lesser Fullness (Blood and Bone Vengeful Ghost)
Upon hearing this, Yang Rui coughed a few more times, looking as if he was about to die at any moment: "That won't do... cough cough... even brothers should settle accounts clearly. If it can't be repaid in this life, then in the next life... in the next life I'll be her slave... cough..."
Hu Xiaoman looked at Yang Rui's appearance, but there was little worry in her eyes.
She knew her fourth senior brother all too well.
The more he acts like he's going to die, the further away he is from death.
Her gaze swept calmly across the eerie passageway.
On the stone walls on both sides of the passageway, there are some murals that have long since become blurred.
It seems that someone once performed an ancient ritual here.
In addition to the dense ghostly aura, the air was also filled with a strong stench of blood.
Yang Rui's weak voice continued to reach her ears: "Little Niannian, if I die here, you, you remember to take my body out!"
"This place is too terrifying; even my corpse would be afraid."
Hua Nian: "Okay, Brother Yang Rui!"
Hu Xiaoman: “…”
"Fourth Senior Brother, if you die, I will release your level eight spirit beasts and let them fend for themselves in this Blood Demon Cave."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Rui's coughing stopped abruptly.
He straightened up, and although his face was still pale, his eyes were much clearer, showing no signs of impending death.
He gave Hu Xiaoman a resentful look and muttered under his breath, "Junior Sister, can't you let me pretend a little longer?"
"This place is so terrifying and eerie. What if there's something lurking in the shadows? If it sees a sickly person like me, it might lose interest."
Hua Nian looked at Yang Rui, who had instantly "recovered," and a helpless smile flashed in her eyes.
Hu Xiaoman rolled her eyes and pointed to the depths of the passageway, where the faint sounds of metal clashing and angry roars could be heard.
"Did you hear that?"
“Our ‘pathfinders’ are already taking care of the first wave of trouble for us.”
Yang Rui and Hua Nian immediately perked up their ears to listen.
Sure enough, the sounds of fighting and shrill screams continued to come.
Yang Rui: "Junior Sister, shall we wait here and go over later?"
Hu Xiaoman: "Yes, let's wait a bit."
Yang Rui asked, "Junior Sister, will they find Mei Qianxiao soon and then return the way they came?"
Hua Nian also asked, "Miss, aren't you afraid that Ghost Ancestor and the others will ignore Mei Qianxiao's life or death and come back to hunt us down?"
Hu Xiaoman's lips curled into a cold smile, which, against the backdrop of the ghostly aura, possessed a strange and eerie beauty.
"I certainly won't do anything without preparation."
She stretched out her hand, palm up, and a faint golden rune flashed and disappeared in her palm.
“I put three talismans on Mei Qianxiao.”
"The first one is the 'Running a Thousand Miles' Talisman."
"Once this talisman is activated, it will cause him to run uncontrollably toward the place with the densest ghost energy, and he will never stop unless his spiritual power is exhausted."
"The second one is 'The Soul-Chasing Guide'."
"This talisman will lock onto his aura, so no matter where he runs, the Ghost Ancestor can clearly sense his location within a thousand miles."
Yang Rui and Hua Nian's eyes were filled with admiration.
It has to be the junior sister; her intelligence is always on point.
"Then... what about the third one?" Yang Rui asked.
A sly glint flashed in Hu Xiaoman's eyes: "The third one is a sub-type of the 'Soul-Devouring Gu'."
"As long as the mother Gu in his body is not removed, the child Gu will continue to emit a special aura that can attract demons."
"He is now a moving, alluring target."
Yang Rui gasped, and the way he looked at his junior sister changed.
He used to think that his junior sister was talented, lucky, and loyal.
But I never expected that she would be so meticulous.
This is a complete and utter grasp on the Ghost Ancestor.
The doting patriarch sensed his grandson's increasing perilousness, as he was surrounded by demons drawn by the peculiar aura.
He had no other choice but to rush in and save people like a madman.
"Wow... Junior Sister, that was such a nasty trick!" Yang Rui said with a smug smile. "But I love it!"
Hua Nian also looked on with admiration: "Miss, you have a deep understanding and foresight. I admire you."
Hu Xiaoman put away the runes in his palm, his expression becoming serious again: "Although the Ghost Ancestor and the others can clear most of the obstacles for us, the danger of this Blood Demon Cave is far beyond our imagination."
She took out several pills to restore spiritual power from the sky and gave them to the two of them: "Fourth Senior Brother, Little Niannian, it's almost time, keep up, let's go."
The three swallowed the pills, concealed their auras, and like three ghosts merging into the darkness, walked towards the increasingly intense sounds of fighting ahead.
All they had to do was follow behind the Ghost Clan and watch them fight it out.
Reach the deepest part of the Blood Demon Cave with minimal cost.
Moreover, Hu Xiaoman could sense the scent of Heavenly Stone fragments in the deepest part of the Blood Demon Cave.
The passageway ahead suddenly opened up, revealing a huge underground cavity.
On the hollow ground, dark red streams flowed, exuding a strong smell of blood.
In the center of the void, the Ghost Ancestor, the Ghost Clan Head Mei Zhentian, three elders, and many disciples of the Ghost Clan were surrounded by a group of bizarrely shaped monsters.
Those monsters were actually formed from broken bones and viscous blood.
They have no facial features, only a pair of empty eyes burning with scarlet flames.
Wielding sharp claws made of bone, they attacked the members of the ghost clan.
Yang Rui lowered his voice: "Junior Sister, that's scary!"
Hu Xiaoman said, "Fourth Senior Brother, this should be the guardian of the first level of the Blood Demon Cave—the Blood Bone Vengeful Ghost."
Yang Rui: "Junior Sister, how did you know?"
Hu Xiaoman: "My fifth senior sister gave me a book about the Blood Demon Cave before."
Yang Rui: "Huh? How come I didn't know?"
Hu Xiaoman: "Fourth Senior Brother, don't try to know everything!"
In fact, when Hu Xiaoman was escaping on the Heavenly Feather White Crane, she was not only healing her wounds, but also searching her mind for books about the Blood Demon Cave.
She actually found a book, and in a short time, she got a rough understanding of the Blood Demon Cave.
Yang Rui: "Fine, Fifth Junior Sister is just biased!"
It was only shown to the junior sister, but not to him!
If he knew more, it would be beneficial and harmless, and he could better protect his junior sister!
There were a great many blood-bone vengeful ghosts ahead, densely packed together, numbering in the hundreds.
Each time they are shattered by the magical artifact, the scattered bones and blood quickly merge into the blood stream on the ground.
Then, in another place, it reforms and pounces again.
As long as the blood energy within this void persists, they will remain immortal.
