Damn, I turned into a monster

Chapter 39 039 Demon (I)

"Why the hell did that thing appear in a place like this??"

As he rode his horse wildly towards Hedong County, Wang Wu was also cursing in his heart. Because that couldn't be a normal situation at all. Even at night, it was unlikely that something would appear outside the Dead Bone Forest? ?

Wang Wu didn't even see it until it appeared at the edge of the forest.

Ghosts are like this, extremely hidden. Low-level ones are okay, but if they are more advanced, many times you may not be able to detect them until they appear right in front of you.

But by then, it's often too late.

What he said before about something being wrong was actually referring to the environment in the Forest of Dead Bones, not the paper-made human head he had discovered.

After all, he lived there, so he was very familiar with it, because it was his home. But when he got home today, he found that there was a smell in the house, a very good smell.

He had never smelled anything like this before, and it had a great appeal to him. This was obviously not normal at all.

Just as he was about to take a closer look at what was happening in the forest, the paper-made human head popped out.

As a monster who has lived in the Forest of Dead Bones for nearly half a year, although he still doesn't know what this thing is called, he knows very well where it came from.

The reason why the Forest of Dead Bones is called the Forest of Dead Bones is because many people have died here, not just one or two thousand, nor ten or twenty thousand, but simply countless.

Because in the past, Wang Wu didn’t know how far back in time it was, but after going to Hedong County, he did find out that it was probably about eight hundred years ago.

Eight hundred years ago, the ruler of this land was not the Great Zhou. At that time, the owner of this land belonged to a dynasty called "Shang". Yes, the country where Wang Wu is currently located is called the Great Zhou, and the previous one was called the Great Shang.

The Shang Dynasty was a dynasty that lasted for a very long time, but even the humans in the city were not sure how long it had lasted.

Anyway, Li Yuan said that the oldest thing he had seen so far was a magical weapon from about three thousand years ago, and that thing was from the Shang Dynasty.

The Forest of Dead Bones, the Mountain of Dead Souls, in the distant past, this was a city of the Shang Dynasty. Ordinary cities would certainly not be built in the mountains and forests, but this city was obviously not ordinary.

It is a 'city that reaches the sky', to put it simply, it is a place used exclusively for human sacrifices.

Over the past thousands of years, countless people have died in this mountain. The Shang Dynasty was an extremely powerful and brutal civilization, and in this civilization, "living sacrifice" was the most important thing. It was also one of the most important events that ran through the lifeline of the entire dynasty.

The Shang people gained great military power by using blood sacrifices to communicate with the heavens, a place called "Heaven". Their army was invincible and conquered all the lands within sight.

From then on, blood sacrifice became a top-notch event and grand gathering in the Shang Dynasty.

It’s just that the Shang Dynasty rose to power due to blood sacrifice, but also perished due to blood sacrifice.

At this moment, on the official road of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wang Wu, Li Yuan and Wang Lan were running at the front of the team. Because Wang Wu was the first to react, he did not forget to pull Wang Lan and Li Yuan while running away.

The others followed behind these three people, but the distance was not far. The farthest one was only about twenty meters slower.

And behind them, no one dared to look back. After Wang Wu said "Don't look back", everyone just rode their horses and rushed forward.

"What is that thing!? Brother Li, do you know? Is there any way to deal with it?" Riding on a horse, Wang Wu looked at Li Yuan beside him and asked.

Li Yuan is the strongest among them, and also the most knowledgeable. He comes from the Qingping Sect, a major sect in Nanzhou, and is also a very outstanding disciple of his generation.

"The ghost things in this forest of dead bones are relics of previous dynasties thousands of years ago. How would I know?" Li Yuan didn't even dare to turn his head to look at Wang Wu, and shouted on his horse:
"Don't look back! Run first! No matter what, run to Hedong County first! At worst, hide in the nearest village!!!"

Everyone was galloping on their horses, and no one dared to look back. They didn't know how far the monster behind them was.

“Haha, haha, hahahaha…ah…”

Everyone heard the voice coming from behind them, as if it was very close, as if it was right next to their ears.

Like a man but not a man, like a woman but not a woman. Like smiling but not smiling, like crying but not crying.

“Come on… come on…”

“Haha… hehe, come on, come on…” “Brother!!! Save me!!!”

At the back of the team, a member heard the shrill, desperate voice behind him. His mind was suddenly in a mess. He turned around in an instant and shouted:

"younger brother!!!"

However, what he saw was only a pale face with its eyelids forcibly opened, revealing two dark eyeballs and a big red mouth.

At this moment, he finally realized that he was the last person in the team.

And his younger brother died five years ago.

Looking at that face, the man's anxious expression gradually relaxed until it became dull.

He just stared at that face blankly, unable to make any sound. The horse galloping under him also slowed down and finally stopped on the road.

The face was getting closer and closer, until it was completely in front of the man. Only then did the man come to his senses.

But what greeted him was only that huge black mouth that exuded a foul smell and decay.

At this moment, everyone who was still galloping on horseback heard the dull sound of bones breaking and the wailing of horses before they died.

At this moment, everyone trembled violently.

Someone died.

The strong smell of blood rushed into everyone's nostrils, and the speed at which the smell dissipated was even faster than their speed.

"Where is your magic weapon? Magic weapon!?" At this moment, Wang Wu's heart suddenly jumped when he smelled the blood, and then he asked Li Yuan again, "Don't you have a magic weapon to exorcise ghosts?"

"I've already used it!!!" Li Yuan shouted, "It doesn't work at all! This thing is no longer an ordinary evil ghost, it's evil! Evil!!!"

As he spoke, Li Yuan also produced a piece of purple talisman paper from his sleeve. Looking at the talisman paper in his hand, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.

But then he bit his finger, drew a few strokes on the talisman paper with his bleeding finger, and then threw it into the sky with force.

"Go!!!" Li Yuan shouted loudly.

The talisman paper was thrown into the sky, and instantly a golden light appeared, turning into a ball of light, shooting towards the back of everyone.

'Alas--!!!!'

A scream was heard from behind, and everyone could hear the anger contained in the scream, but at the same time, there was also fear.

"Haha! It works!" Li Yuan's expression lit up with joy. Not only him, but everyone felt it at this moment.

After Li Yuan threw out the talisman paper, the feeling of being so close to him instantly disappeared. Everyone felt relieved.

"Haha! Damn it, this is indeed the treasure my master gave me!!" Having escaped danger by chance, Li Yuan, who was riding on a horse, was still sweating, but the joy on his face could not be concealed.

But the smile on his face only lasted for a second.

Because about seven or eight hundred meters ahead, a figure appeared at some point.

It stood there quietly, its face was extremely beautiful, but at the same time also shockingly ugly.

There is a ghost behind and a demon in front.

"Damn it..." Wang Wugang's heart, which had just warmed up, instantly turned cold when he saw what was in front of him.
