Chapter 73: Stealing the Treasure Chest and the Headless Statue
At the moment when the Nuo mask was used to exorcise the evil spirits using the stove fire, the "Dream Soul Demon" in the sky let out a sharp cry.

A deeper malice was monitoring and ostracizing Song Wuji.

And after the flame was lit, the name of [Nuomian.Shegong] became [Nuomian.Shehuo].

Flames emerged from the edge of the Nuo mask. After putting on the Nuo mask, Song Wuji seemed to have become a community god.

At this time, a faint circle of flaming light appeared behind his head, but maintaining this light wheel required the consumption of mana.

At the same time, Song Wuji understood the magic.

[Spell to Calm Down]

Spell to ward off fright: The Shegong is the master of the village community. If someone is frightened and has a nightmare, is distraught, cries incessantly, and becomes mad and restless, he can wear the Shegong Nuo mask to ward off evil spirits and find the lost soul in the underworld of the community.

This is a spell that goes with the Nuo mask.

Nuo masks were originally used to ward off evil spirits, but instead they were demonized and turned into objects of fear for children.

Song Wuji ate some food to restore his consumed magic power, and then cast a spell to summon the souls of these soulless people one by one, trying to bring back their souls.

If these people can be rescued, Song Wuji will have no regrets and it will be considered a meritorious deed. Although in this damn chaotic world of demons and monsters, there is not necessarily any such thing as meritorious deeds, only utilitarianism.

However, even if Song Wuji calmed down, these soul-deprived people only straightened their bodies, but did not recover their souls and return to normal.

"It seems their souls are trapped somewhere. This Dream Soul Demon in the sky looks like a dark cloud, just like the dark clouds covering the real village. Could it be that the souls of these soulless people have been eaten by this Dream Soul Demon?"

Since he couldn't wake up the lost souls, Song Wuji left this place first, planning to find a place to explore. If that didn't work, he would find the boundary wall and leave here first.

Of course, if he could solve the problem on his own, Song Wuji would definitely not have fled like this.

As the saying goes, fire can drive away evil spirits. There is no reason why Song Wuji would be afraid of this thing that is a bit like a nightmare. He just needs to be careful.

After wearing the Nuo mask, no lost souls or nightmares attacked Song Wuji again, allowing Song Wuji to take a look around. The whole place was indeed not very big, not even including the land outside the village, but rather one house after another.

There seemed to be eyes looking out from every house.

After thinking for a while, Song Wuji walked towards the location of the land temple in the corresponding pattern.

But this is not a land temple, but a large courtyard with high walls and a big house. All the houses, including the ancestral hall where villagers worship their ancestors, are not as grand as it.

At the same time, the sinister aura it exudes is also the most serious. As long as you get close, you will be stared at with malicious intent.

But whenever he got close, the stove grid inside Song Wuji's body began to glow and heat up.

This reminded Song Wuji of the last time he refined the remaining fragments of the Plague God to complete the stove grid.

It seems that there might be fragments of the divine nature here as well.

Song Wuji pushed open the door and immediately saw two little ghosts. These two little ghosts were skinny, with green skin, donkey-like ears, wearing animal skin skirts, and each holding a banana fan.

As soon as the two banana-leaf fans were waved, Song Wuji was blown by a cold wind and could not open his eyes. He even had a vague stomachache and was about to have diarrhea. Even the light and flame ring formed by the stove fire behind his head began to flutter.

I had no choice but to leave, but as soon as I left, the gatehouse was closed.

Don’t treat the land god as a god. There are two little ghost security guards on duty, and the banana fans in their hands are suspected to be magic weapons.

Song Wuji tried to push the door open again and used a fire-starting technique.

As a result, a gust of cold wind blew and blew back the stove fire.

Song Wuji had no choice but to not enter through the main gate. Fortunately, he had the ability to open the wall, so he just ate more food and used the ability of restoring life, true energy, and magic power in a full state to quickly restore his magic power. Then he found a courtyard behind the wall and went in directly through the wall.

As soon as he entered, Song Wuji was surprised to see that it was a separate room with only one box in it. Having explored the warehouse in China, Song Wuji knew that there must be something good in it.

But you can't open it at will. What if you alarm the demon?
He had to recover his magic power before he could open it and use his magical powers to escape again.

After eating something again, Song Wuji took the opportunity to investigate. He didn't dare to push open the door, but just looked out the window. He could see little ghosts patrolling in the yard.

[Land Ghost Soldiers]
Night patrol

[Daily Tour Inspection]

And in the center is a headless statue. Black air is emanating from the headless statue, [Nightmare Land. Dream Soul Demon Clone].

Song Wuji's heart immediately sank. This thing looked difficult to fight. It didn't look like a hamster, so he could take advantage of it.

It’s better to just steal something and run away.

After his mana was restored, Song Wuji opened the box directly. Before he could see what was inside, he heard a roar from outside: "What kind of thief! How dare you steal from this realm master!"

The next moment, the pressure was revealed and the malice was shrouded, which was even more mentally oppressive than that of an eighth-grade tiger demon.

Song Wuji had already planned it: "Open!"

He used his magical power of opening walls again and successfully escaped from the scene before a huge hand from the ground could grab him.

After escaping, Song Wuji didn't look back to see what was happening, he just kept running.

The land was furious, and all the houses showed malicious intent. The nightmare-stricken and soul-destroying people were chasing after Song Wuji.

Leading the way were two little ghosts holding fans and the ghost soldiers.

Song Wuji ate and recovered his magic power while throwing copper coin darts.

There is a strange phenomenon. Every time Song Wuji throws out a copper coin, the little ghost will stop chasing Song Wuji and instead bend down to pick up the money.

But they didn't know that Song Wuji's magic weapon, the money bag, had an automatic recycling function.

Relying on the fact that he could get rid of the little ghost by throwing money, and the Dream Soul Demon clone did not leave the base to look for him in person, Song Wuji was not so embarrassed.

He even took the opportunity to kill another nightmare.

What this evil spirit dropped was naturally another Nuo mask.

[Nuo noodles. Social public]

Although they are both community gods, the powers represented by these Nuo masks are different.

After being lit, the two Nuo masks merge into one. It is still "Nuo Mask. Community Fire".

But in addition to the spell to calm down, there is another spell.

[Nuo Dance]
Using your hands and feet together and dancing can drive away evil spirits.

Dancing while wearing a Nuo mask is called Nuo dance, which originated from the ancient sacrificial dance and has the power to communicate with gods.

Song Wuji thought to himself, "The land god has lost his head. After killing these nightmares, each one becomes a Nuo mask. Could it be that if I gather all these Nuo masks, I can piece together the head of the land god?"

Since we have this guess, we might as well give it a try. Even if it fails, the more Nuo masks we integrate, the more powerful this magic weapon will be. Maybe by using the spell to collect shock again, we can call back the souls of the soulless people and ask them about the origin of this demon. Otherwise, if we don't know the origin, we can't find the correct way to deal with this strange demon.
