A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

They looked up at the night sky!

The blood moon, hanging upside down overhead, continued to change, its crimson color growing ever more intense, its blood-red light splashing and illuminating the entire ruins of gods and demons, transforming them into an eerie sea of ​​blood…

Just then, they were shocked to discover that a dark shadow was slowly rising from the depths of the rocks not far behind them.

The dark figure flew out from the shadows of the rocks, soaring into the air amidst the blood-red light, and hovered in the air.

Under the glow of the blood moon, everyone could clearly see that it was the evil ghost bride.

It turned out that although the evil spirit of the ghost bride had not attacked them, it had been following them in the darkness all along.

The evil ghost bride rose into the air, fully absorbing the eerie blood light emitted by the blood moon. Just then, the red veil on the ghost bride's head was suddenly lifted, and the next moment, her rotten, disgusting, and terrifying face reappeared.

Although the evil spirit was in mid-air and some distance away from them, the moment that disgusting face appeared, everyone's faces turned very ugly, as if they had swallowed a fly.

The moment the red veil was lifted, the evil ghost bride raised her head, turning her rotting, terrifying face toward the blood moon high in the sky.

The blood-red light of the blood moon shone on that rotting face...

The next moment, a bizarre and terrifying scene unfolded. The rotten and horrifying face began to regenerate, with the rotten flesh gradually turning inward and new skin growing. Gradually, a lifelike and pretty face emerged.

High in the sky, amidst a sea of ​​blood-red light, the bizarre scene sent chills down everyone's spines.

Lu Chu's voice trembled slightly as he said, "What are we going to do? We've encountered a blood moon! We've had the worst luck imaginable!"

During the ten-day intensive training before entering the ruins of gods and demons, the descent of the blood moon was the last thing Lin Youjian and Liu Su talked about, because the probability of it happening was not high.

However, Lin Youjian and Liu Su also mentioned that several teams that had entered the God and Demon Ruins had been wiped out, which might all be related to the Blood Moon.

Duan Rong jumped up, his eyes turning cold, and said, "Let's go! We can't stay here any longer. We need to get out of here first!"

Although his Soul-Slaying Thorn could suppress the evil spirit of the Ghost Bride, that was before the Blood Light nourished her. After the Blood Moon nourished her, he was unsure whether his Soul-Slaying Thorn could still suppress her.

The group immediately left the pool and ran wildly along the way.

At this moment, the evil ghost bride in mid-air not only transformed her rotten face into a lifelike beautiful young woman, but her rotten belly also healed, leaving her skin as new, except for a seam in the middle of her belly...

If it weren't for the fact that the clothes on her belly were torn when the ghost baby came out, the ghost bride at this moment would have no trace of evil, and would look just like a newlywed.

The ghost bride was still absorbing the blood light. Her pale face seemed to have come back to life. She looked down at the direction in which the crowd was fleeing and gave a sinister smile that was quite eerie.

After running for a while, Duan Rong and his companions suddenly discovered that the evil ghost bride had been following them all the way in mid-air.

The evil ghost bride, bathed in blood-red light, floated high in the sky, following them all the way.

At this moment, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

"We're doomed! That thing has been following us the whole time!" Lu Chu's face was contorted with fear.

Just when we thought we'd be leaving the ruins of gods and demons tomorrow, a blood moon descended on this last night!

Duan Rong suddenly stopped and said, "We can't go any further. Let's turn back!"

"Go back? Why go back?" Guo Tian asked, his eyes fixed on him. He was also anxious, constantly thinking of a solution. He believed that Duan Rong must have his reasons for saying that.

Duan Rong said, "Let's go back. To the ghost infant!"

Upon hearing that they were going to the ghost infant, everyone's faces turned grim, and Jiang Hanyan's eyes showed particular resistance.

Duan Rong knew that everyone was resistant, but he had no time to explain at the moment, so he said in a deep voice, "Only by going to the ghost infant will we have a chance to live!"

After Duan Rong finished speaking, he turned around and ran back the way he came.

Guo Tian's eyes narrowed, and he followed. He didn't know Duan Rong's thoughts, but he knew very well that if the ghost bride followed, the evil spirit would kill them one by one once it had absorbed enough blood. Since death was inevitable, he might as well gamble with Duan Rong; perhaps there was still a chance of survival.

After Guo Tian followed, Xu Hui followed as well. Lu Chu followed as well.

Jiang Hanyan's eyes showed struggle, but the horror in front of her quickly overwhelmed the nightmare in her heart, and she quickly followed.

The group ran all the way and soon arrived at the pile of rocks that stretched like a mountain range.

Actually, the pool wasn't far from here. The reason they took more than a day to get there was because they took a detour. Now, they were running wildly from the pool, and soon the pile of rocks that stretched like a mountain range was in sight.

Bathed in the crimson light, the pile of rocks resembled a bizarre mountain of flesh and blood. Under the dense crimson light, the continuous rocks looked like chunks of flesh and blood, freshly cut and still flowing with blood.

When the group was still some distance away from the pile of rocks, they were shocked to see an infant sitting cross-legged on top of it.

Without a doubt, that infant was a demonic ghost.

The ghostly infant was covered in blood; its legs and abdomen were still bluish-black, but its head and back had returned to their normal skin color, shimmering with a faint luster, just like a baby's skin...

Unlike the ghost bride evil spirit, the ghost infant evil spirit does not ascend directly into the sky to bathe in bloody light, because it also needs to evade the pursuit of the ghost bride evil spirit. Once it ascends into the sky, it will be too conspicuous.

When Duan Rong and his companions saw the ghost infant evil spirit, the ghost bride evil spirit floating high in the sky behind them, with its superior vantage point and wider field of vision, naturally also saw the ghost infant.

The ghostly bride's eyes, half-hidden in mid-air, revealed a tenderness and infatuation. "Baby, it's my baby..."

The evil spirit of the ghost bride no longer paid attention to Duan Rong and the others who were running wildly on the ground. Instead, it stirred up a gust of wind and headed towards the ghost infant who was sitting cross-legged on the pile of rocks and absorbing the blood-bathed light.

The evil infant was sitting cross-legged with its eyes closed, concentrating on absorbing the blood light, when suddenly its little nose twitched, and it immediately opened its eyes with a horrified expression.

The moment the ghost infant opened its eyes, it saw a crimson blood shadow flying towards it from the sky not far away.

The ghostly infant shuddered in fright and jumped up, attempting to flee.

"Baby, do you know how hard your mother has searched for you!"

The ghost bride's terrifying voice still seemed to echo in their ears. The ghost infant was clearly a fraction too slow; it was stopped by the ghost bride at the very edge of the pile of rocks. Duan Rong and the others witnessed this scene.

At this moment, Guo Tian and the others finally understood why Duan Rong had brought them here.

However, the ghost bride had already been drawn to the ghost baby, so why were they still running towards the pile of rocks?

Guo Tian and Lu Chu both felt that they should take the opportunity to find a place to hide, but Duan Rong was still running wildly toward the pile of rocks.

Guo Tiandao said, "Duan Rong, shouldn't we be looking for a place to hide now? Why are we still heading towards the pile of rocks?"

“Yes, Duan Rong, we should find a place to hide,” Lu Chu chimed in.

But none of them stopped, because Duan Rong had not stopped. They knew that Duan Rong must have his reasons for not stopping; in this eerie and terrifying time, to survive, they could not afford to make any mistakes.

As Duan Rong ran, he said, "Yes! We must find a place to hide now and survive this blood moon night! And this place must be able to escape the pursuit of the ghost bride's evil spirits!"

Hearing Duan Rong's words, the crowd followed him even more closely. They all realized that Duan Rong now knew a place where they could escape the pursuit of the evil spirit of the Ghost Bride.

"Where is that place?" Jiang Hanyan looked at the two evil spirits on the pile of rocks, her eyes filled with panic.

Duan Rong said, "It's right under that pile of rocks!"

"Underneath that pile of rocks?!" Upon hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with astonishment.

Duan Rong knew the others wouldn't understand, but he had no time to explain further. He knew very well that the ghost infant was no match for the evil spirit of the ghost bride, and it was hard to say how long it could last. Their time was limited; they had to hide in the space beneath the pile of rocks while the evil spirit of the ghost bride and the ghost infant were locked in a standoff.

Only in this way could they have any hope of survival! Duan Rong had a feeling that as long as the evil ghost bride absorbed enough blood, his Soul Piercing Technique would be no match for her.

This was evident from the fact that the evil ghost bride had been following them high in the sky. The moment it was fully saturated with blood energy, it would attack. And the evil ghost bride was well aware of the power of his Soul-Slaying Thorn. If it didn't know that it could withstand the attack of the Soul-Slaying Thorn after absorbing the blood energy, why would it follow them while absorbing it?

Here, at the edge of the pile of rocks, the ghost bride's eerie long hair, like wild vines, wrapped around the ghost baby's hands and feet.

The evil infant was originally extremely agile and swift, but now its hands and feet were bound. Its eyes were filled with venom as it struggled to break free, but the ghost bride's strange hair twisted and turned as if it were alive, and it could not be torn apart no matter what it did.

The ghostly infant emitted a strange hissing sound from its throat...

At this moment, the ghost bride's evil hair had already pulled the ghost baby in front of her. The ghost bride smiled kindly and bent down.

The ghost infant was bound, its eyes filled with resentment and malice, and it let out a threatening, beast-like roar from its throat.

The ghost bride, however, reached out with loving eyes and gently stroked the ghost baby's face. At this moment, the ghost bride's expression was no different from that of a loving mother.

However, the ghost baby suddenly opened its mouth and bit the ghost bride's hand.

The ghost baby's teeth were extremely sharp, and the ghost bride's rotting hand, nourished by the blood light, had become as good as new, yet now the ghost baby had bitten off a chunk of flesh.

The ghost bride's brows suddenly furrowed. "Baby, you're so disobedient! You even bit your mother! Do you know how much your mother has suffered?"

At this moment, a look of sorrow, as if about to weep, appeared on the face of the ghost bride. However, the wound on her hand, inflicted by the ghost infant, began to heal at a visible speed under the nourishment of the blood-red light splashed by the blood moon.

"Baby, Mommy is suffering! You have to be good!"

After the ghost bride finished speaking, the hair that was wrapped around the ghost baby suddenly twisted and pulled, binding the ghost baby tightly. The ghost bride then bent down and picked up the ghost baby.

Her movements were very gentle, but the ghost baby's body kept struggling and writhing...

The ghost bride finally held the ghost baby in front of her. A happy smile suddenly appeared on her pale face. Just then, her belly, which had been healing under the bloody light, suddenly opened up, like a giant beast with its mouth wide open.

Although the skin on the abdomen had recovered to its original state, inside the opened abdomen was still a rotting, foul-smelling stomach.

The moment the ghost baby saw the belly that opened like a wild beast, a deep terror finally welled up in its venomous eyes. At that very instant, the ghost bride suddenly stuffed the ghost baby into her belly.

The ghost baby struggled desperately, but it was tightly bound by the ghost bride's hair and couldn't move at all.

"Baby, Mommy will never leave you!"

The ghost bride placed the ghost baby into her empty belly, and then her two belly flaps closed on their own, enveloping the bound ghost baby inside.

Just as the ghost bride swallowed the ghost baby, Duan Rong and the others had already run to the side of the pile of rocks, and they had all witnessed that eerie and terrifying scene.

Duan Rong nimbly slipped into a crevice in the pile of rocks. He knew that after the ghost bride swallowed the ghost baby, she might be about to deal with them. Time was of the essence, and he had to hide in that place as soon as possible.

At the edge of the pile of rocks, the ghost bride's evil belly bulged, and strands of hair were emerging from the gap in the middle of her belly, like small snakes.

With all the hair removed, the ghost baby inside her belly began to struggle, causing the ghost bride's stomach to rise and fall.

A pained expression appeared on the ghost bride's face. "Baby, you're hurting Mommy!"

"Mommy is angry!"

"You're so disobedient!"

A ruthless glint flashed across the ghost bride's face!
Suddenly, the dense darkness beneath her feet, which was the true form of the evil spirit, abruptly rose up along the ghost bride's legs, like a shadow crawling between them.

The darkness crept into the ghost bride's lower body and went straight into her stomach.

After a few breaths, her stomach, which had been rising and falling, calmed down.

The ghost bride's face finally regained its loving expression. She gently stroked her belly and whispered like a loving mother, "Baby, be good, Mommy will love you!"

The ghost bride touched her belly for a while before suddenly raising her eyes. She stood on the pile of rocks, looking at the ruins of gods and demons under the blood moon. She remembered that those guys were running wildly not far away, but she had ignored them because she saw the baby. In such a short time, those guys had all disappeared.

The ghostly bride suddenly conjured a gust of wind and flew into the air, bathing in blood-red light as she searched everywhere. She wasn't worried about not finding those creatures. Not only did the blood moon illuminate the entire ruins of gods and demons, leaving them nowhere to hide, but humans also possessed a human scent; no matter where they hid, they couldn't escape her search.
