C3 Five Ghosts

When there was no one around, when there was a dead silence, this light sentence was like a bolt out of the blue.

Sheng Lianshan thought of the Five Ghosts that took his horse, and immediately lowered his body and quietly walked to the top of the mound. He stuck his head out and looked outside.

At this moment, the sky was cloudless for thousands of miles. The moonlight shone on the ground, illuminating everything clearly. Not far from the mound, a few strange shadows slowly approached from the wilderness. All of the shadows were tall and thin. They moved and bent as they walked. Their actions were strange, causing one to shiver in fear when they saw them.

What was even more strange was that these things were surrounded by a mass of black gas. Even if the moonlight shone on them, it was still unable to illuminate their appearances.

Sheng Lianshan used all his eyesight to barely see the shape of a person in the black shadow. Other than that, he could only vaguely see a section of something that looked like arms and legs in the black gas. However, he did not dare to make a conclusion about what it was or what it looked like.

A few days ago, when his horse was captured, it was also night. At that time, the sky was even darker than today. In addition, he was already sleeping soundly, so he could not see the true appearance of the Five Ghosts clearly. The actions of these few things did indeed seem a bit similar. However, there was only one at that time, and there were quite a few today. Hence, he was not certain that these were medicinal Five Ghostss.

Not knowing the background, he did not dare to act rashly for a moment.

Yinn curled into a ball at the side. Without needing Sheng Lianshan's reminder, he was already scared out of his wits and did not dare to move. The two of them quietly hid behind the mound and peeped into the distance.

Those strange things were moving back and forth on the yellow ground. They weren't without purpose, but were moving towards the dead bodies. Every time they walked to a dead body, they would lean over it, and a horrifying gurgling sound would be heard from the black gas. When it got up again, the corpse was gone, leaving only a few pieces of burlap and a mess on the ground.

This situation was exactly the same as when Sheng Lianshan's horse was taken away. The ground was a mess, and other than leaving a few strands of manes, there were no other clues.

Sure enough, this was the Five Ghosts!

Sheng Lianshan's nerves tensed up, and he could not help but secretly cry out, "What a coincidence! It really broke through iron shoes and found nowhere, and it did not take much effort to obtain it. He had been tracking her for days, but he hadn't seen a single trace of her. He hadn't done anything today, but he had run into this monster.

However, the scene before his eyes was a bit strange. Previously, he had only seen a black shadow, but now, there was more than one.

Could it be that the Five Ghosts was really five demons?

Sheng Lianshan frowned and counted. He found that there were more than five black shadows. There were seven of them, which did not seem to match the name of the Five Ghosts. He recalled the rumors he heard along the way. The Five Ghosts was an extremely famous demon in the northwest region, and often appeared in the wilderness to harm others. However, what exactly was it like? Was it one or five? No one could say for sure.

When he thought up to here, he couldn't help but sigh. Ever since he was treated as a demon, he had once gone to learn some rumors about demons. However, these rumors had always been vague, making him feel extremely suspicious.

According to the rumors, there were many ghosts and demons in the remote mountains since ancient times, especially demons. They had already appeared in this world for who knew how many years. They were hidden in remote places. Once they had the chance, they would come out and do evil and harm the heavens. Before leaving, he had heard that the drought on both sides of the Wei River had been caused by a demon called Hanba.

According to the rumors, there were no demons in the world, and the heavens and the earth were all owned by humans. The four sides were connected, and the world was peaceful. It was unknown how peaceful the world was. The decrees of the eight paragons and holy ancestors of the world respected each other. They trusted each other and never argued with each other. On the other hand, the paragons of the paragons ruled the world. They listened to divine sounds and passed down divine decrees to allow the human world to receive the protection of the gods. The weather was smooth, and the years were full.

That was a golden age that no one could imagine.

However, after the last Divine Ancestor ascended, the human world lost its last sage. No one was able to listen to the divine decrees of the gods, and humans also lost their protection.

Thus, the world split apart, and demons also appeared and became more and more intense.

The rumored demons were all green-faced, tusks, ugly to the extreme. They were naturally cunning, sinister, and cruel monsters. They hid in the remote mountains and often attacked human villages. Once they succeeded, they would slaughter all humans.

Demons also knew evil arts and could swallow clouds and smoke. They could bully people with magic and illusions. No matter how powerful a person was, they would never be able to defeat them. Even if they encountered demons, there was nothing they could do. Ever since the demons appeared, people did not dare to live next to the mountains and lakes. Instead, they migrated to the vast plains. Only a few people who were unwilling to leave their hometown continued to live next to the mountains and lakes.

Although the rumors were like this, what did the demons look like and where did they come from? No one knew. No one could tell.

Sheng Lianshan's master had also mentioned the demon. Before he left, he had warned Sheng Lianshan, "There are many desolate places along the way, and there are some evil things. Demons are more bizarre than humans. You have to be careful. "

Although these warnings were kept in his heart, he had never seen a real demon before, and he did not know how to subdue a real demon. Now that he suddenly saw such a strange situation, he was at a loss for what to do.

While he was still thinking about what to do, the medicinal Five Ghosts not far away made a move first.

A medicinal Strange Shadow that was closest to them seemed to have discovered something. It suddenly stopped moving and began to vigilantly observe its surroundings. It even turned around and let out a low whimper towards the other Strange Shadows, as if it was communicating with something.

The few Strange Shadows finally all turned towards the mound where Sheng Lianshan was, looking very puzzled. Sheng Lianshan could not help but be shocked when he saw this scene. He did not know where there was a mistake. He turned his head and looked back with some puzzlement. Only then did he discover that Yinn, who had shrunk into a ball, had turned pale. He had actually lost his restraint.

Sheng Lianshan's forehead was covered in sweat. He patted Yinn's shoulder to comfort him. Then, he stuck his head out to take a look, but his heart immediately turned cold.

The Five Ghosts actually disappeared!

The outside of the mound was empty. The few medicinal Strange Shadows were all gone, leaving only a dark hole in the ground. Sheng Lianshan picked up the sword on the ground vigilantly, and at the same time bent his waist to stretch out a little to see more clearly.

But in an instant, something strange happened.

The mound under his feet suddenly shook. The sand sank and black gas gushed out. A huge medicinal Strange Shadow suddenly scuttled out!

This change came extremely quickly. Sheng Lianshan only had time to lower his body and stabilize himself, barely dodging the Strange Shadow's impact. Before he could react, the black gas hit his face. Strange faces drilled out from within and spun around him crazily.

"It's him, it's him, it's him!"

Within the black gas, A huge black claw grabbed towards his chest at lightning speed. Sheng Lianshan blocked it with his back hand. He felt that the force was very strong. He rolled and fell from the mound.

He immediately stood up. Before he could see what it was, a black wind suddenly blew and dust flew. The enormous medicinal Strange Shadow in the black gas suddenly soared into the sky, and then split into seven tall and thin medicinal Strange Shadows. The seven shadows flew up and down around the mound like birds, and even let out a series of sharp laughter.

This was completely out of Sheng Lianshan's expectations. He did not have time to think. His luck penetrated his entire body, and with a tap of his foot, he broke free of the encirclement and retreated to the side.

The black shadows seemed to have no intention of entangling with him. When they saw him break free from the encirclement, they made whimpering sounds and then collided with each other again. Sheng Lianshan saw that they had once again turned from seven to one. Their titles, shoulders, and buttocks had once again turned into a huge Strange Shadow. They drilled into the ground at a speed that was completely inconsistent with their huge bodies and then disappeared before his eyes.

He immediately pounced forward and tried to grab it, but his hand missed.

There was only a hole left on the ground. Sheng Lianshan leaned against the hole and looked inside. But I can't see anything. He wanted to catch this monster, even if he could not save the horse. At least get your luggage back, and now let it run away again. He couldn't help but feel annoyed. He had yet to decide whether he should chase after it. Suddenly, he turned his head and glanced at it. Yinn had disappeared.

"Not good!" Sheng Lianshan cursed. He climbed onto the mound and looked around anxiously. There was indeed a strange bump in the yellow soil. It rolled up the dust and sand to the west, mixed with Yinn's screams.

Without any hesitation, Sheng Lianshan jumped down from the mound with his sword on his back and chased after the dust with all his strength.

While he was chasing, he was thinking about what kind of monster it was. However, the fight just now was too short. In addition to the swirling black gas, he did not see the Five Ghosts's appearance clearly. All he saw were long, slender human but inhuman shadows.

However, the black shadows were so strange. Although he did not know what they were... But it's definitely not a good thing. If he didn't bring Yinn out, the outcome would be disastrous.

He became even more anxious, but he could not catch up to Yinn at the moment. In the blink of an eye, he had run for who knows how many miles. Even though he knew martial arts, he was still exhausted in the end. He could not help but slow down.

The surrounding night became darker and darker. The moon slowly faded away, and it seemed that the time was getting closer and closer to dawn.

The dust in the distance was getting smaller and smaller. Although it was strange, it was at the end of its power. Sheng Lianshan saw that there was a chance to catch up, so he gritted his teeth and increased his speed.

At this time, something black suddenly appeared at the horizon in the distance. It was square and was the shadow of a building.

The black shadow stopped in front of the building and crawled out from the ground. It was split into seven smaller tall and thin shadows just like before. Once the seven black shadows landed, they were like people stepping on stilts. They crouched together in a strange posture and entered the building in the distance. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace.

Sheng Lianshan immediately became anxious. He raised his True Qi and sped up. In the blink of an eye, he had also arrived near the building. Only then did he clearly see that it was a village.

However, it seemed to be an uninhabited village.

He stopped at the entrance of the village. He saw that the houses outside were already in ruins. The earth wall collapsed, the door collapsed, and sand and dust filled the air. There was not a trace of movement in the village. Not to mention the sound of humans, there was no sound from any other living thing. There was only a deathly silence.

It was not rare to see a village like this in a place where a great drought was wreaking havoc. Farmland could not be grown, and people could not sit and starve to death. Thus, they could only be forced to leave their homes. Over time, many villages on both sides of the Wei River became uninhabited villages.

He looked around. Those few black shadows seemed to have evaporated into thin air and disappeared.

Sheng Lianshan did not think too much about it. He hesitated for a moment and then walked into the village.

However, just as he took a step, an ominous feeling suddenly surged into his heart. His eyebrows jumped and he could not help but retreat.

Originally, he thought that the Five Ghosts that had entered the village had laid some sort of trap, but when he turned his head, he saw that it was a trap. At some point a strange group of people had come out of the village. These people were holding torches. Under the light of the torches, it could be seen that they were all unkempt. They were wearing tattered clothes that were already stained with dirt. Their faces were sallow and dried up. Their eyes were bloodshot. Their expressions were dull, but there was a different kind of fierceness in them.

There were about ten of them. They gathered at the entrance of the village and silently looked at Sheng Lianshan. They did not speak or move.

Sheng Lianshan frowned and looked at them. Suddenly, he remembered that he saw Five Ghostss grabbing dead bodies everywhere in the wilderness. He could not help but have a shocking thought.

"Are you villagers of this village?" He stood still and asked loudly, "Just now, a few black shadows came here with a child. Did you see that?"

There was no sound. Everyone was staring at Sheng Lianshan, but no one paid attention to his words. Finally, a very tall person walked out of the crowd. He was more than nine feet tall. His face was full of ugly scars. His nose had been cut off a long time ago, and one of his ears was rotten.

The strange man stood in front of the crowd and stared at Sheng Lianshan coldly. After a long time, he asked slowly, "Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that a few black shadows ran to your village with a child." Sheng Lianshan did not answer him. Instead, he said anxiously, "Those black shadows are demons. If you do not find them quickly, I am afraid things will not be good in a while."

The word 'demons' finally caused a slight commotion among these people. However, under the strange man's oppressive gaze, they slowly quietened down.

"Monster?" After everyone quieted down, the strange man turned his head and stared at Sheng Lianshan. He asked, "What monster?"

Sheng Lianshan did not understand why this person looked so strange. He hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Five Ghosts!"

In the next moment, a wave of cold laughter came from the silent crowd. It was as if this word had touched something that should not be touched. The situation immediately changed.

Those strange villagers actually slowly surrounded them!
