Chapter 1640: Mutual Eating (Two Chapters Owed)

Bailian could feel that one of his arms was being swallowed by a dark, strange and unknown space, and he was losing control over the arm bit by bit.

His eyes were fixed firmly on the surface, and he calmly relied on his remaining sense to hold on tightly.

His deep blue eyes suddenly brightened as if quenched by light, the demon pattern behind his neck became visible, and all his demonic power poured out as if being squeezed out.

A ray of green light condensed in the palm of his clenched fist.

In the dark space, the sound of a flute suddenly rang out.

The cold sound tore through the darkness.

The monster that crawled out of the water had its huge mouth opened wide as if it was torn apart, leaving a bright red hole.

Bailian pulled his arm out of the strange dark space with force.

The fish-headed monster holding a bone-chopping knife covered his mouth, which was cracked behind his ears, and stared at Bailian with vicious eyes.

He suddenly let out a long cry toward the sky, a sharp explosion sound like that of an underwater creature.

As if summoning their own kind, the fish broke through the water surface, and the monsters formed shadows and groups, forming a siege, and began to climb up to the boat in dense crowds.

Cangnanyi's eyes fell on the jade flute inlaid with Devil Cry Pearl in Bailian's hand.

The monsters in this world are hard to identify, especially the strange creatures in the river.

The monster had just crawled onto the boat, but he was able to quickly identify that the monster was the incarnation of a ghostly evil spirit.

However, the jade flute is very effective in restraining ghosts.

However, no matter how miraculous the effect is, it will be useless when faced with such a huge number of people.

Sweat oozed from Bailian's forehead. The previous blow made his face pale. He couldn't help but clench the flute in his hand, but his entire right arm was paralyzed.

When she lowered her eyes to take a look, she saw that the skin of his arms was inexplicably pale, as if a large amount of blood and essence had been drained from them, and they were completely lifeless.

Cangnanyi didn't allow him to think too much, and grabbed his wrist, saying: "In this world, such strange creatures cannot be killed by human Taoism and spiritual power. Only higher-level monsters can eat ordinary monsters to completely kill them."

These thousands of fish-headed monsters were obviously not as powerful as the dominant ghost ship under the river. They had to wait until the space turned dark before they dared to emerge from the water and climb onto the ship.

Bailian immediately understood and followed Cangnanyi closely. Before they were surrounded by the swarm of fish-headed monsters, they had already arrived at the wooden entrance of the boat.

The light from the lanterns on the eaves of the houseboat was reflected in the deep darkness. The ominous and strange light rippled and spread out, making people feel uneasy for no reason.

In front of the door, there are two strangely shaped stone statues.

It was the first time for Bailian to worship a stone statue in front of the door of a boat.

The stone statue was about one meter tall, half sheep's body, with a human face and a snake neck. The stone was grayish white all over, a bit like the mottled color caused by years of decay from rain. The only thing was the human face of the stone statue. Although the facial features could be vaguely distinguished, if you stared at it for a long time, it looked more like two evil ghosts with gloomy eyes and full of malice.

It makes people extremely uncomfortable.

One of the statues had a darker weathered color and a grayer color, as if it had been split and chiseled apart after experiencing rain, lightning, wind and frost on this pleasure boat. It also had the appearance of an evil ghost, but the marks of the splitting and chiseling extended from the forehead all the way to the waist.

The gap was big enough to tear off most of his head.

The only remaining eye does not possess any divinity, and when looking into it, one does not feel the cold, strange malice as with the intact stone statue.

It was as if some creature inside this shell was forced to shed its own skin, and it was not known whether it was eaten by other monsters or something else, leaving only an empty skin.

Cang Nanyi said that if one wanted to weaken the physical and mental pollution here as much as possible, one must find a skin without monsters and put it on oneself, so as to maintain one's nature...

The new year had just risen, but Bailian found that he had put away the flute in his hand without knowing when, and his hand unconsciously reached out to the stone statue that was split in half and had half of its head missing.

Another stone statue that had been standing quietly seemed to suddenly come alive, shaking its shoulders, twisting its snake-like neck, and laughing strangely with a crackling sound.

The ghost-faced head stretched out in a winding manner and instantly wrapped around him, staring at Bailian from a close distance. Their eyes met, and their mouths opened and closed continuously, as if they were preparing to speak.

Bailian's scalp tingled, but he did not lose his composure.

There was a dull bang in front of him, and the door of the boat was kicked open by Cangnanyi.

Without giving the stone statue any chance to speak and mislead people, the two of them entered the pleasure boat one after the other.

The statue's neck was tilted, as if it had been stiff for a long time, without any movement.

He just watched with a stiff and cold gaze as the ship door slowly closed.

Bailian looked at the unstable ship door and couldn't help asking, "Can the folding door alone stop those monsters?"

Cangnanyi did not answer. In the darkness, she still held Bailian's wrist tightly and seemed to chuckle.

It was as if he found Bailian's question ridiculous.

However, the next moment, the monster with an extremely long neck that seemed to be able to extend infinitely began to hit the ship door frantically.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The force was so great that it seemed as if it would not stop until it smashed the crumbling wooden door into pieces.

Through the thin doors and windows, Bailian could even clearly see the stone statue's ghost face stuck in the gap of the door. Its huge eyeballs seemed about to burst out of its sockets, staring at him with bloodshot eyes.

However, it is not the only monster outside the ship now.

The black fish monsters that surrounded the boat from all directions seemed to be afraid of it. They were not as good as the stone gargoyle-faced monsters that guarded outside the boat all year round. After seeing Bailian and the other two enter, they obviously gave up the idea of ​​hunting them.

The target shifted from Bailian to the only surviving gargoyle-faced monster.

The gargoyle-faced monster felt countless strange and ominous gazes, its body trembled violently, and its extended neck quickly shrank back.

It seemed as if it could not leave the confinement of this body, and could only shrink carefully, allowing those fish monsters to lie around its body, sniffing it. Strands of pure white air flowed into the mouths and noses of those fish monsters like essence.

There were also some fish monsters lying at its feet, picking up the mottled and fallen lime from the stone statue and eating it, and then they all showed expressions of enjoyment on their faces.

Sure enough, everything was just as Cangnanyi said, the monsters here eat each other.
