Chapter 197: Ghost Eating Mud

Akimoto encouraged himself and walked in carefully.

It was clearly still daytime, and although the light in the city was a little dim, it was not so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. But through the open door, Cao Yang could not see what was going on inside.

"There is danger, but it shouldn't be a threat to me."

Cao Yang muttered to himself. However, he still concentrated and was alert to any unexpected events, especially the traditional house in the backyard, which was the place he paid the most attention to.

Akimoto's figure disappeared after he sank into the darkness, as if he was swallowed up by the townhouse, and the open door was the open mouth of the evil spirit.

The pouring cold wind was mixed with an unpleasant sour smell, as if raw meat had been left for too long and had become moldy and rotten.

Inside the machiya, unlike what it looks like, it is not completely dark. Instead, there is an oil lamp on. Although the light is not bright, it is better than being completely in the dark.

The room was not big. It looked about 20 square meters from the outside, but when you walked in, the actual space was reduced by half. There were four or five golden containers neatly placed on the ground, which looked a bit dazzling under the dim light of the oil lamp.

"found it."

Akimoto was delighted. In fact, his knowledge of this machiya was limited to paper. This was his first time to actually enter a machiya.

"Just follow Mr. Cao Yang's instructions, smash the blood ball on the ground to form a pool of blood, and then place all these items on the blood."

He didn't know if it was an illusion or something, but Akimoto always felt that a vague chill was invading his body. However, this was still within the tolerable range. After all, this was the den of ghosts in the town house, so he didn't care too much.

"Crack~!"

Akimoto smashed the blood ball to the ground. A strong fishy smell instantly spread out. The pool of blood was still bubbling, as if there was something hidden deeper.

“Crunch, crunch~!”

Suddenly, a strange chewing sound was heard in the townhouse, as if something was eating.

Akimoto's face changed and he thought of his arm.

Ghost mud is actually food for ghosts. His arm had long been completely eroded by the ghost mud. Even if it was removed, it would not have much impact, because his arm has basically grown out now.

"The Machiya ghost is already gnawing on my arm. I have to speed up the process. One arm is not enough for a real ghost to eat."

Thinking of this, Qiu Ben didn't care about anything else and quickly picked up a golden container the size of a human head and placed it directly on the pool of blood. It was obviously just a shallow puddle, but at this moment the container was sinking little by little, and finally the entire container disappeared.

"It's really an unpredictable method."

Akimoto sighed as several more containers were thrown at him.

"Creak, creak -"

The gnawing sound became quieter and quieter, and the mud arm seemed to be eaten up completely. It was not difficult to imagine that the evil ghost's next target must be Akimoto, after all, there was still more ghost mud on him.

Outside the townhouse, Cao Yang opened the Blood River Ghost Cave, but it only covered an area of ​​about two meters around. Under Qianye's gaze, Cao Yang reached out and groped for something in the Blood River, and he fished out golden containers one by one from the Blood River.

"That's all?"

Cao Yang looked at the seven containers that were fished out and said with some disappointment.

"what--!"

In the machiya, Akimoto's action was abruptly interrupted. A fierce ghost attacked him, but he did not find a single hair of the ghost, not even a ghost shadow.

But there was a huge gap in his abdomen, as if a giant beast had bitten off his entire kidney. The extreme pain made Akimoto's facial features twisted together, and he curled up on the ground, allowing the evil spirit to gradually gnaw at his body. Bite marks of varying sizes appeared all over his body, and wailing was endless, but it could not be heard outside.

"problem occurs."

Outside the townhouse, about three minutes later, no more containers appeared in the blood river, and Akimoto did not make any movement. Cao Yang immediately realized that something had happened. "Sir Cao Yang, Akimoto..."

Chiba's tone was a little worried. Although he had already thought of that outcome, after all, Akimoto was his good friend...

"If I had known I would have gone in by myself."

Cao Yang rubbed his sore eyes. The scope of the ghost den expanded instantly. His ghost wind ghost den suddenly poured into the townhouse. At the same time, a surging river of blood also rushed in frantically from the sliding door.

"A demonic den that can't even affect reality, it seems I am still too cautious."

The small town house was instantly covered by Cao Yang's ghost den. The ghost den belonging to the town house was completely suppressed. The darkness was fading away, and the truth inside the town house was being revealed. Akimoto's broken body was lying on the ground with a pool of blood bubbling next to it.

"Akimoto-kun!"

Chiba was extremely sad.

The corpse moved slightly after hearing Qianye's voice. Although the movement was small, Cao Yang still noticed it.

"He's not dead?"

From Cao Yang's perspective, Akimoto's limbs were gone, his torso was covered with dense bite marks, and even only half of his head was left. He didn't die despite such serious injuries. It has to be said that Gui Ni's ability to save his life is really strong.

The dying Akimoto opened his mouth and tried to say something, but the foul-smelling ghost mud blocked his throat and some mud fell out of his mouth, preventing him from uttering a word.

"Great, Akimoto-kun, you're not dead!"

Chiba wiped her tears and said with great surprise.

Cao Yang always felt that there was something a little abnormal about the relationship between the two, but since Akimoto was not dead, he would empty out everything in the machiya and leave as soon as possible. He didn't want to be bitten by this ghost.

The surging blood river stirred up waves of blood, which directly washed away the remaining supernatural items and the two people, and the previous set of blood water was also recovered.

"interesting."

Before leaving, Cao Yang saw some changes in the walls of the machiya. A small area turned into the same dark brown color as ghost mud, forming a sharp contrast with the white wall next to it.

"One eats, the other feeds. You will replenish what you eat. Be careful not to eat yourself to death."

The ghost wind and the river of blood faded away one after another, and darkness filled the townhouse again. The sliding door closed automatically in an instant, and a child-like figure appeared in the room out of thin air. He was holding a piece of dark yellow soil in his hand, and there were obvious marks on his lips...

"Mr. Cao Yang, I thank you for your help on behalf of Mr. Qiu Ben. Otherwise, Mr. Qiu Ben would have been killed by that evil spirit."

Cao Yang ignored it and instead checked the containers of various sizes. The surface of the containers were inlaid with golden nameplates that gave detailed descriptions of the supernatural items inside.

"A hairpin, its specific function is unknown..."

"A round fan. The wind from the fan will intensify a person's negative emotions and may even exacerbate the resurrection of the evil spirit of the ghost charioteer."

"A talisman. The wearer will become the first target of attack by evil spirits."

"A music box. The music it plays can silence evil spirits."

"A sunny doll that can release the hanging curse through some medium, and it also has a strong suppressive effect on evil spirits."

"..."

"Why are they just small things? Aren't there any tough ones? I want to see a river of blood!"
