Chapter 273: The wolf in front pretends to sleep to lure the enemy

"Boss Liu, I respect the help you provided me in the early days. But you also saw the attitude of the laundry lady Wang Mingyu. To be honest, if it weren't for my good temper, if any other captain was here today, I think this old woman would have sunk into the lake long ago. Only I am willing to nag you guys."

Cao Yang's tone was cold. Whether in the original novel or when he met her now, the laundry lady's attitude was always very bad, as if everyone owed him money.

"This……"

Boss Liu looked embarrassed. He was not the best among the four, otherwise He Liansheng would not have led the team.

In other words, he cannot be the master of others.

"Hey, look, listen, you think you're powerful just because you controlled a few ghosts. Lao He, if you don't take action, I will. I have two ghost clothes in my hand that I can't wash clean, so today I can use this kid's blood to test it."

Wang Mingyu's tone was sarcastic and revealed an inexplicable cruelty. At the same time, she also took off a few old clothes from her body. Under the clothes were layers of clothes, but they did not look bloated on her.

However, as soon as she took the clothes in her hands, the small boat under the feet of the four people began to sway constantly, and ripples quickly appeared on the dark but calm lake. The lake water almost submerged the boat, and it seemed that there was a risk of sinking at any time.

"It's just killing a few older ghost riders. Nothing special."

Before the laundry woman could make the first move, Cao Yang had already taken action.

The deadly, creepy, and heavy ghost instantly crouched on the washerwoman's back. The terrifying weight of the ghost instantly made her bend deeply over. The dark boat also sank a few inches. The lake water had already exceeded the waterline and quickly began to pour into the boat.

"enough."

He Liansheng's face darkened, he did not expect Cao Yang to act so decisively and ruthlessly. They were indeed the second generation of ghost riders, but the Ghost Lake was not something they could easily touch. If they sank into the lake, even the four of them would not be likely to survive.

His voice was not loud, but it made people's hearts tremble, as if even their heartbeats stopped at this moment.

But He Liansheng was only the leader of the second generation foursome, not Cao Yang, so he didn't care about He Liansheng's ideas. To be honest, these people were not bad, but it was a pity that they chose to live in seclusion in Taiping Ancient Town. Although they had no faults, they had no merits either.

The second wave of attacks came suddenly. A gust of wind blew around them at some point, mixed with the strong stench of corpses. The ghost wind blew across the lake that was dyed red by ghost blood, rolling up waves of blood that hit their boat.

"Young man, did you create this blood lake?"

Seeing that Cao Yang did not stop, He Liansheng did not get angry, but asked in a deep voice.

"So what if it is, so what if it isn't? I've already said that I'm here to deal with the Ghost Lake incident, but what happens? Here comes the provocative ferryman, and here comes your arrogant and stern senior right after."

"I think I might as well just kill you all and throw you into the lake. I'll handle the supernatural incidents and you'll handle me. Your attitude and stance speak for themselves."

Cao Yang's attitude was tough. He really didn't have any good feelings towards anyone except Boss Liu. Of course, the one he hated the most was the laundry woman, so he chose to take action without hesitation. Even if such a guy who relied on his seniority really left Taiping Ancient Town, he would never stop. "The wind and water are thriving, and the world is in his pocket. I don't expect those of you who live here to understand the changes outside, but I still have to say that Captain Yinzi, also known as He Yiner, is now soaking in the ghost lake."

"Is this true?!"

He Liansheng was a little upset when he heard Cao Yang's words. Who was He Yin'er? He raised her as his granddaughter. Although they were not related by blood, they were closer than biological children.

At least half a year has passed since He Yiner disappeared. Now Cao Yang's words undoubtedly bring hope to this somewhat vicissitudes of life old man.

"Do you think I look like someone who has time to joke with you?"

Of course, Cao Yang said this on purpose, in order to take advantage of He Liansheng's distraction to completely defeat the laundry lady Wang Mingyu.

However, by the time He Liansheng reacted, it was too late. Although the laundry woman's body was intact, the life in her eyes had completely gone out. Her body was rapidly invaded by a chill, and at the same time, the oil lamp in her hand was extinguished along with her life.

When a person dies, it is like a light going out. For a moment, He Liansheng felt a little sad.

Cao Yang would not be surprised at all that the washerwoman would die. At this stage, few people could resist the invasion of his memory. Even if Yang Jian's dream dog entered the memory world, it would not be able to kill him, unless the dog exploded and shattered the memory world. Of course, this was impossible and could not be done.

"She died and lost consciousness."

The faceless man stretched out his two hands and quickly drew words in the air. At that moment, he sensed the great danger and subconsciously took measures to avoid it. When he turned around, he found that the laundry woman Wang Mingyu was dead.

"This is the second one you've killed. Tell me where Yin'er is, or I'll risk my life to keep you here forever."

He Liansheng's voice became a little hoarse, and it sounded creepy. Obviously, He Yin'er was his last weakness. If Cao Yang used this as an excuse to deceive himself, he would definitely choose to summon the spirit without hesitation and kill this half-human, half-ghost young man in front of him.

"I told you, He Yin'er is in Ghost Lake. As the head of the headquarters, she and I are colleagues, and there is no need for me to lie to you. As for whether you believe it or not, that is not up to me."

Cao Yang shrugged indifferently. At this time, the ghost blood had already invaded about 30% of the Ghost Lake, and the deeper it went, the slower the rate of infiltration and erosion, because the deeper it went, the closer it was to the core and source of the Ghost Lake, and there would also be more and more terrifying ghosts that would form obstacles.

"Invasion is not control, but I used the ghost blood to provide myself with convenience, which can avoid the bathing situation in the original book as much as possible."

While paying attention to He Liansheng's reaction, Cao Yang was thinking about the extent of the invasion of the ghost blood into the Ghost Lake.

"Ghost blood alone is not enough, we must also use water ghosts. I speculated a long time ago that the mysterious place connected to the water ghosts' waters is the Ghost Lake, and now I have a chance to verify it."

At this moment, Cao Yang's body began to ooze out smelly and turbid sewage, which quickly accumulated in the black-sailed boat and soon covered Cao Yang's calves. However, the strange thing was that even though the boat was submerged from the inside, the black-sailed boat itself remained stable and did not sink into the ghost lake.

On the contrary, Cao Yang vaguely sensed that there was some kind of strange connection between the sewage under his feet and the water of Ghost Lake. The feeling was... they were like a puzzle piece to each other!
