Chapter 152 Hitting the road
The source of the footsteps was also successfully restricted, but the remaining three ghosts still stood motionless, as if the three people did not trigger the rules, so they did not move.
"Captain, these ghosts don't seem to be targeting us."
"It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Yang moved again. The suppression from the ancient house was gone, and the feeling of being able to fully exert his power was simply too good to be true.
Cao Yang ignored the ghost pinned by the bronze spear, and instead targeted another ghost that was missing an arm. Except for his head, all other parts of his body were replaced by ghost flesh. It can be said that Cao Yang was not afraid of direct contact with evil ghosts at this moment.
He kicked the ghost away with a flying kick, but the evil ghost had already arrived suddenly, and one of Cao Yang's arms instantly fell to the ground like a dismantled building block. Cao Yang himself also trembled instantly, and the flesh and blood all over his body began to wriggle as if it had life.
But the ghost with a broken arm was obviously in a worse situation. Cao Yang’s kick was not light, and the ghost was kicked directly into silence, and did not get up for a while.
At the same time, Cao Yang also recovered from the attack. The rotten and blackened flesh began to wriggle and grow wildly from the broken arm. In less than a minute, a new arm was fully formed, as flexible and convenient as the original one.
"A miracle doctor!"
This scene made Lin Ye and Zhao Tong next to them sigh. The ghost rider is always being eroded by evil ghosts. This body has long become almost the same as a real corpse, with low body temperature, cold body, weak physiological characteristics, and indifferent emotions. He is basically getting closer to a real ghost.
Cao Yang was not surprised by this. This was the ability of ghost flesh. His entire body was made up of ghost flesh. As long as the head was still there, it could be restored even if it was broken into pieces.
After dealing with the armless ghost, Cao Yang set his sights on another ghost. This ghost was somewhat similar to the armless ghost, except that it was missing a leg and only had a somewhat sturdy leg to support its body.
"You have a broken leg, right? Be careful not to fall to your death if you don't stand firmly."
Cao Yang snorted coldly, and the gravity ghost den directly covered the ghost. The blood river surged over in an instant. The evil ghost's palm was hidden in the waves and directly grabbed the leg of the broken-legged ghost. The latter staggered and fell directly into the blood river and lost movement.
As a price, Cao Yang was also attacked by the Broken Leg Ghost, and his left leg was directly separated from his body and also submerged in blood. However, soon, a brand new left leg reappeared, and the ghost flesh once again showed its terrifying regeneration ability.
At this point, four real ghosts had sunk in the blood, and Cao Yang also felt the restlessness coming from the revival of the blood.
"Although the submerged ghosts made the bloody ghost den more complicated and terrifying, they also became a burden. In the original work, Lin Shan killed many people through water ghosts, and those people became underwater ghost slaves, but he still maintained a consciousness when he was highly revived..."
"Could it be that the real role of the ghost slave is to help the ghost rider alleviate or even share the burden of recovery, just like Liu San and the paper man?"
The restlessness of the resurrected evil ghost reminded Cao Yang of many things. Lin Shan, the rider of the water ghost in the original novel, was a good example. Even after resurrecting to that extreme state, he could barely maintain his consciousness, which was very intriguing.
But the reality did not allow Cao Yang to think too much, there was a ghost watching him. The ghost was a skinny old man with a haggard face, and the cold breath it exuded made Cao Yang's body made of ghost flesh feel a little cold.
"Another evil ghost."
Cao Yang muttered something in his heart, and then instantly appeared beside the old man, with blood gushing out.
Strangely, the ghost showed no sign of attacking Cao Yang, but just stood there motionless. However, Cao Yang didn't care. He had to get rid of the ghost before he could move forward. He didn't forget that his target was the ghost on the fierce ghost road.
The old man was kicked again, and he instantly lost his balance, triggering the law that losing balance means death. The old man froze and fell into a brief silence. Cao Yang did not hesitate and directly used the ghost den to put the ghost into the human skin pocket. "It's time to recycle the bronze spear."
The next moment, Cao Yang appeared at the dangerous wall. The ghost nailed by the bronze spear had been struggling, but could not get rid of the restraints of the bronze spear.
"In that case, I will dismember you."
Cao Yang took off the bronze spear without hesitation, and the ghost fell to the ground. In the dim underground space, the ghost showed its shadow.
Cao Yang held the bronze spear and directly triggered the shadow medium. The not-so-sharp bronze spear directly cut the ghost's shadow in half, and the ghost in reality was also broken into two sections and became completely motionless.
The human skin bag was opened, and Cao Yang threw the dismembered ghost into it like throwing away garbage, then quickly tied it up to prevent the ghost inside from reaching out again.
"team leader!"
Zhao Tong and Lin Ye ran over. Cao Yang quickly dealt with the five ghosts with swift and decisive actions. This record left them dumbfounded. Since when did dealing with evil ghosts become as easy as eating and drinking?
"Keep going. Don't forget that the mission target is the Fierce Ghost Road incident. I will try my best to avoid ghosts if we encounter them next time."
Cao Yang said slowly, his face did not look good.
There is a road in the ruins. No matter when the ghost soldiers passed through before or now, this road always exists. Cao Yang even suspected that this road is the fierce ghost road, but no matter whether it is or not, he has to take this road. The way back has long disappeared. Even if you just want to leave, there is only this road to go.
Fortunately, although the ruins seemed large in scale, the few people left this mysterious place not long after they left.
This road can be described as bizarre. As the three of them were on the road, the environment on the roadside was constantly changing. Sometimes it was a strange deserted village that had long been abandoned, and sometimes it was a mourning hall with funeral music echoing but no one in it. All kinds of incomprehensible supernatural phenomena made Lin Ye and Zhao Tong feel creepy.
Although Cao Yang tried his best to avoid getting close to and coming into contact with those supernatural phenomena that were obviously haunted by ghosts, the uncertainty of the supernatural meant that this path would not be easy.
"Captain, in front..."
The three of them stopped because a fork in the road appeared strangely in front of them, but it was obvious that this fork in the road did not exist before they walked over it.
In other words, it was their approach that led to the fork in the road. But this was not the most critical point. What really concerned Cao Yang was that from a distance, each of the forks in the road forked again not far away, as if it was endless, and there was no way to know where it led.
"Captain, you decide how to go. The two of us will definitely follow you."
Lin Ye said in a deep voice.
The nearest place in front of them was a three-way fork in the road, and there were exactly three of them.
Is it the evil spirit's rules that are targeting me, or is this the way the road is?
