Underworld entries, starting with ghost stories.

Wu Qing hid in the shadows of the forest, watching the camp ahead.

Centered around the large tents of Lady Black and Lady White, there are four smaller tents surrounding each one, with female soldiers stationed in front of each tent.

Further out were the male soldiers resting. Their living conditions weren't as good; they just lay on the ground with blankets.

There are naturally night watchmen nearby.

The watchmen are spread out, so any abnormalities can be reported promptly.

Wu Qing, gripping a wooden stick, bent over and slowly crept toward the outermost watchman.

Suddenly, he let out a loud shout, grabbed his big stick, and charged at the night watchman with all his might.

"Enemy attack!" the man shouted in fright.

He watched as the dark figure charged straight at him, holding something in its hand, and smashed it towards his head.

He was instantly terrified.

Ruined!

If attacked, a lowly soldier like him on the outermost perimeter would be the first to die.

If the enemy dares to jump out and charge, at least the outer perimeter will be undefendable, which means that one is doomed.

The man felt a chill run down his spine, regretting that he hadn't said goodbye to his parents before leaving home, hadn't said goodbye to the young woman he liked in the brothel of Caozhou, and hadn't had a final, passionate encounter with her.

"Brothers, avenge me!" He gripped his knife and slashed at the menacing man charging at him.

flutter!

He slashed the man's chest with a knife.

No!

How did you manage to succeed so easily?

He gripped the knife and jumped back in disbelief.

Then the attacker collapsed, twitched a few times, and stopped moving.

"Where is the enemy? Where is he?" Everyone jumped up, weapons in hand, looking around anxiously.

"Here!" the man said, pointing to the corpse on the ground.

"Where?" The people behind couldn't see anything.

"There was only one here! I killed it!"

"Then why are you shouting 'avenging you'? I thought you were dead," someone yelled irritably.

"I didn't expect this guy to be so easy to kill. He doesn't know any martial arts at all, he probably hasn't even practiced them." The man looked around to make sure there were no other enemies.

"What's going on?" Madam Black and Madam White hurriedly put on their soft armor and came out of the tent, each holding a knife and a sword.

Lady Bai shouted, "Where is the enemy?"

"They've already been slaughtered here; there seems to be only one left."

Madam Black said in a deep voice, "Bring him over here for a look."

Before long, the men dragged the dead man to the campfire.

Madam Black and Madam White went forward to look and saw a boy with his chest split open, his eyes wide open, looking like he had died with his eyes open.

"How come it's this young man?" Madam Bai exclaimed in surprise. "Isn't this the advisor who works for Dou Xianniang?"

Madam Hei looked up, still uneasy: "Search the surrounding area to see if there are any ambushes."

The crowd dispersed and searched the area, but found nothing.

Madam Bai kicked the boy's corpse and chuckled, "What's going on here?"

"Remember we were saying earlier that this guy next to Dou Xianniang seemed pretty capable, like a strategist. Did he suddenly lose his mind in the middle of the night? Or were we wrong, and he's just a greenhorn?"

"He charged out with a wooden stick in his hand," one person laughed. "He must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. Why don't we pry open his skull and see what kind of mud is inside?"

Lady Black looked down and saw that the boy's chest was covered in blood, and he died a gruesome death.

For some reason, even though his eyes were wide open, there was a smile on his lips, and he died peacefully.

Madam Hei pondered, "Perhaps it's Dou Xianniang's kept man who had a falling out with her and came here looking for trouble to kill himself."

Madam Bai sheathed her sword: "Sister, you've probably guessed right. This boy doesn't have any real skills. The only reason he's so close to Dou Xianniang is because he's her gigolo."

"Ha, I never imagined that Miss Dou would be such a promiscuous and wanton woman. And she was perfectly fine just moments before, only to dump him overnight."

He kicked the boy's corpse again: "I thought he was some kind of important person, but he's just a fool who was made a fool of. I was wrong about him."

Madam Hei said, "Fine, just throw his body far away and bury it with whatever you can find."

The two men inside carried the boy's body, one in front and one behind, deeper into the woods.

Once they got some distance away, they threw the body into a pit, then used a knife to cut some tree branches and some soil to bury the body haphazardly.

Wu Qing stared wide-eyed as dirt and twigs were thrown onto his corpse.

A sign hanging on his body read, "I died a terrible death!"

After those two people left, he transformed into a ghost and slowly drifted away.

Under the moonlight, he exuded a sinister aura, looking not only eerie but also sinister.

[Strangeness Level 38, Ferocity Level 1, Evil Charm Level 3, Mystery Level 32, Infectivity Level 3.]

These numbers all turned into experience points, which were added to his current bizarre state, making him several times more sinister than he was after his last death.

He staggered and drifted toward the camp.

The 32 points of mystery made him seem to merge with the moonlight at this moment, mysterious and unpredictable.

Upon arriving at the camp, Lady Black, Lady White, and the others rested again.

The campsite is situated on high ground, with one side bordering a forest, making it an excellent place to set up camp.

Just in case, a few more people were added to the watch, and they were spread out even further.

During the day, they were busy for a while, crossing mountains and forests, and they would continue tomorrow, so they naturally wanted to rest as much as possible at this time.

Wu Qing crawled into one of the small tents.

But they saw two female soldiers secretly playing inside the tent.

Their main task in the afternoon was to guard the horses, and they didn't cross the mountain to ambush them, so they had a lot more energy now.

Of course, they didn't dare to make it too loud.

The female soldier below, clutching the blankets on either side, suddenly saw a strange face appear on the face of her comrade above.

At that moment, above her was a broad-chested boy.

"Ah—!" she screamed.

Another female soldier was also startled by her.

Just as everyone was about to fall asleep, she startled them, and the chaos immediately returned.

Inside the main tent, Madam Bai lifted the curtain and shouted, "What is it now?"

The woman was shocked and looked at her companion, who was perfectly fine and looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"N-nothing!" the woman said, her heart pounding. "I had a nightmare."

Madam Bai shouted, "You just fell asleep and already having nightmares? Everyone, behave yourselves, or I'll kill you!"

The woman dared not utter a sound.

[Strangeness Value +1]

Wu Qing slowly crawled out of the small tent and came to the back of a martial artist sitting by the campfire.

The martial artist and another person stood back to back, at the innermost circle of the cordon.

Wu Qing crouched behind him, quietly transforming into a living zombie state.

He grabbed a stone and smashed it against the back of the man's head with a loud thud.

The man cried out in pain and collapsed to the ground.

The person behind him turned around: "What are you doing?"

The man suddenly turned around, threw a punch, and roared, "You dare to ambush me?"
