Chapter 135 The Tanuki Spirit's Inner Core [Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets]

Chen Hong and the others arrived at an abandoned morgue.

Pushing open the door, rows of coffins stood neatly arranged.

"who!"

A loud shout rang out, but the dim light made it difficult to see clearly.

Chen Hong, however, had night vision and could see everything clearly.

"So it's you."

Chen Yulou, who was opposite him, also saw clearly, "So it's you gentlemen and ladies, we meet again."

"What's going on? This is it."

“Young master, the sky is overcast and it looks like it’s going to rain soon. We’d like to stay here.”

I heard there's a man-eating rat demon living here, so I came out of curiosity to investigate.

Chen Yulou introduced them politely.

"I see." Chen Hong nodded. "Did you find it?"

"That's exactly what I was looking for," Chen Yulou said, somewhat embarrassed.

"Knock knock, knock knock..."

Just then, a strange noise came from one of the coffins.

It looked like someone was struggling inside, banging on a coffin lid.

The competitive Chen Yulou decided to show off his skills so as not to be looked down upon by Chen Hong and tarnish his reputation as the chief of Changsheng Mountain.

He secretly took out a hidden dart, approached the coffin, and moved the coffin lid.

There were no unusual changes.

suddenly!

Meow!……

A piercing meow rang out.

A dark figure suddenly darted out.

pon!

Luo Laowai fired a shot, and white smoke billowed around him.

The dark figure continued to run wildly outside, disappearing in an instant.

This is... a missed shot.

Luo Laowai awkwardly put away his gun.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"It turns out to be a cat."

"Scared me."

Zeng Xiaoxian patted his chest repeatedly.

Hong Guniang glanced at Zeng Xiaoxian disdainfully, "A useless man is not even as good as a woman."

"What!!"

Zeng Xiaoxian felt insulted and wanted to step forward to argue.

Hong Gu Niang gave him a stern look, and Zeng Xiaoxian immediately cowered.

"Ah, yes, yes, the girl is right, the girl is right, hahahahahaha..."

Zeng Xiaoxian's signature loud laugh eased the awkwardness.

But he still couldn't escape Hu Yifei's disdainful glare.

Unable to contain her curiosity, Lin Wanyu pestered Lu Zhanbo to accompany her on an adventure.

Investigate each room in the morgue.

Sudden.

"what!……"

A woman's scream was followed by a man's shout.

Hearing the sound, everyone looked in that direction and hurriedly ran towards the room.

Chen Hong strolled leisurely with his hands behind his back, but his pace was not slow, and he followed along.

When everyone arrived, they saw that it was Wanyu and Zhanbo.

There was also an old woman with disheveled hair, standing stiffly.

It was incredibly ugly, with a large front tooth, shifty eyes, and looked like a rat spirit.

This startled Lin Wanyu.

Chen Yulou stepped forward and examined it, immediately concluding: "This is a female corpse."

"what??"

Everyone was even more surprised.

Chen Hong noticed a spirit tablet with a yellow paper pasted on it.

"A cleansing talisman?"

The crowd was drawn by Chen Hong's voice and all looked over.

Chen Hong flipped over the ancestral tablet, which read:

"The Wu family of Hubei was the wife of the Long family."

She married at the age of thirty, moved to Nuqing, and became a widow three years later.

The orphan died at only 100 days old due to poverty, leaving only Wu as a widow. She lived there to guard the body until her death at the age of forty-nine.

"What does this mean?" Chen Meijia asked, bewildered.

Hu Yifei sighed, "Sigh......"

"That means this woman's surname is Wu, she's from Hubei, and she's the wife of a man surnamed Long."

She married a man from another place and moved here when she was thirty.

Her husband died three years after their marriage, leaving her a widow.

Her child died at only 100 days old due to poverty, leaving her all alone.

So she remained a widow and stayed by the bodies of her husband and children until her death at the age of forty-nine.

"Huh??" Chen Meijia was stunned. "That bad?"

“Yes, women in ancient times were always this miserable, what else could they do?” Hu Yifei’s smile was somewhat sarcastic.

Everyone was silent.

Chen Hong sighed, "In chaotic times, human lives are like duckweed, and since ancient times, a rope will break at its thinnest point."

"Our bodies are like ants, our lives like blades of grass, that's all there is to it."

Even Chen Yulou, a native, couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"She must be the caretaker of this burial chamber. She is a Han Chinese who married into the family from a distant place. She died less than three months ago, and she needs to stand still before she can be placed in the coffin."

So what you see are standing corpses.

Looking at the female corpse standing on the ground, unable to lie down even in death, Lin Wanyu's eyes became a little moist.

He bowed respectfully to the female corpse.

"I'm sorry, Mother-in-law. When I was frightened just now, I even thought you were ugly."

I was wrong. May you have a safe journey, and may you no longer suffer on the other side.

Hong Guniang's spirits lifted, and her gaze towards Lin Wanyu softened considerably.

"This young lady is truly kind-hearted and well-mannered. She is sure to be blessed with good fortune."

"Thank you, I appreciate your kind words." Lin Wanyu nodded to the girl in red.

Chen Yulou, however, felt nothing. In chaotic times, human life was as worthless as grass; he had seen too many such cases.

As a powerful and ruthless figure, he had taken the lives of many.

"Meow!……"

At that moment, a mournful cat's meow rang out.

Everyone looked up in the direction of the sound.

Two beads were visible, emitting a sinister green light in the darkness.

Boom!

A clap of thunder sounded, and the white light of lightning shone into the morgue.

They've revealed their true colors.

It turned out to be a raccoon dog hiding on the roof beam, its emerald-green eyes staring intently at them.

Everyone was shocked.

The raccoon leaped onto the woman's corpse and began to gnaw at it.

It actually bit off an ear.

He jumped off the ground, ran quickly, and sped away.

"go!"

"Go and see."

Chen Hong's heart stirred, and he followed the raccoon dog out.

Qin Yumo and the others naturally followed closely behind Chen Hong.

Chen Yulou and Hong Guniang looked at each other in bewilderment.

“Let’s go, let’s go and take a look.” Chen Yulou made a decisive decision.

The others followed and chased after them.

Chen Hong and his group chased them into a jungle.

Then, the raccoon was pounced on and knocked to the ground by an even larger raccoon.

With one claw, it split open with a whoosh.

"Meow—meow meow—"

The raccoon that had been eating the corpse screamed pitifully, its claws thrashing desperately, its eyes filled with terror.

But to no avail.

The sound of sharp claws tearing through flesh rang out.

Its belly split open.

Like unzipping a zipper, it's like opening up a belly.

The intestines and internal organs were pulled out and eaten.

The large raccoon feasted on the flesh and blood of its own kind.

"hiss!"

"So cruel."

Chen Meijia, who loves pets, felt unwell and vomited.

"Meow!"

A piercing meow rang out, and the large raccoon suddenly turned its head to look in this direction, its eyes filled with ferocity.

They strolled over here.

"How to do?"

"It's coming! It's coming!"

Chen Meijia gripped Chen Hong's hands tightly, somewhat flustered.

Suddenly, in her eyes, Chen Hong, everyone else, and even the fox spirit disappeared.

She was all alone in the world.

"Chen Hong! Chen Hong!"

"Lu Ziqiao! Lu Ziqiao!"

"Sister Yifei! Sister Yifei!"

"Where are you?"

"Don't leave me alone!"

"what!……"

Mika let out a terrified scream.

Suddenly, she saw a woman with an extremely ugly appearance, resembling a rat spirit, crawl out of the ground and walk towards her.

It was the old woman who had been standing by the corpse in the morgue earlier.

"what!"

"It's a fake corpse!"

Chen Meijia covered her face, slumped to the ground, and curled up into a ball.

Just as the zombie woman stretched out her sharp claws, about to grab her delicate and beautiful face.

Chen Meijia could only tremble and do nothing.

at this time.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

A high-pitched cry rang out, seemingly filled with yang energy, piercing the yin and yang divides day and night, breaking through the eerie and unsettling atmosphere.

Chen Meijia opened her eyes again and looked around.

A flying sword whistled past him.

Then he nailed it hard to the zombie rat woman.

He sent her flying, piercing her chest and back, and pinned her to the ground, where she remained motionless.

Then the zombie woman turned into a raccoon dog.

Chen Meijia rubbed her eyes and then opened them again.

There was no zombie woman, it was just a raccoon dog, pinned to the ground.

Look left, look right.

Zeng Xiaoxian, Lu Ziqiao, Lin Wanyu, Hu Yifei, and others are just like her.

They all looked left and right with blank and fearful expressions.

Finally, everyone looked up along the trouser leg of the only person standing there.

Then I saw Chen Hong's face.

"Hi!"

Chen Hong waved and smiled at them.

They were immediately startled, and goosebumps rose on their skin.

"Chen Hong?"

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

Chen Hong waved his hand to signal them to stop, and everyone quieted down, looking at Chen Hong.

"You were just trapped in an illusion."

What you see now is the reality.

"It was the crowing of the Angry Rooster that dispelled the illusion."

Everyone looked at the Angry Rooster on Chen Hong's shoulder.

The chicken held its head high and clucked loudly.

"Do you see that raccoon spirit over there?"

Following Chen Hong's finger, everyone looked and saw a raccoon dog pinned to the ground.

"It was that fox spirit that urinated around, creating a urine array."

You smelled it and got poisoned.

Therefore, they hallucinated and saw what they feared.

"This fox spirit is quite powerful; its urine is poisonous, and it also knows some minor spells that can bewitch people."

I deliberately didn't activate any protective magic artifacts for you guys earlier, so you could experience the power of the fairies firsthand. How was it? Wasn't it exciting?

Everyone:...

"Don't worry, it's not highly poisonous, it'll be fine in a bit."

After saying that, Chen Hong stepped forward and pulled his flying sword out of the fox spirit's body.

Then, following your senses, make a stroke.

He sheathed the sword and took a closer look; there was a pill-sized inner core resting on the blade.

"what is this?"

Lu Ziqiao tried to get up to look, but found that he couldn't move at all.

His body was stiff and wouldn't stop moving.

"What's going on? Why can't I move?" Lu Ziqiao asked, somewhat flustered.

"It's nothing." Chen Hong waved his hand dismissively. "You've just been poisoned; you'll be fine in a bit."

Just then, a noise came from behind.

It was clear that Chen Yulou and his group had arrived.

The Angry Rooster crowed, its eyes fixed on the fox spirit's inner core on Chen Hong's sword, unable to resist the temptation any longer.

It pecked down and swallowed the inner core whole.

Chen Hong simply smiled and glanced at it, without stopping it.

This medicine-sized inner core, condensed from a demon, contains too many impurities; it's not even enough to fill his teeth.

I might as well feed it to the chickens.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The Angry Rooster swallowed the inner elixir, its spirits soared, and it flapped its wings.

Its feathers seemed to radiate a faint, iridescent light, making them even more lustrous.

Chen Hong could feel that the toes of the chicken claw on his shoulder had grown a little longer, harder, and more curved, radiating a cold light.

Chen Hong glanced at it and knew that the Angry Sun Chicken's beak was longer and thicker, sharp as if it could peck through any shell.

The feathers are now more vibrant in color, a dazzling array of hues.

Chen Hong could sense that the Angry Rooster had become stronger.

When Chen Yulou and the others arrived, they inquired about the situation and learned what had happened. They looked at Chen Hong with a hint of admiration.

Chen Hong collected the corpse of the fox spirit.

"The bones of this fox spirit are used in medicine to treat dissociation syndrome."
