Chapter 21 The ghost behind the scenes [Please read]

"You two come over here."

Li Daoxuan's voice came.

Zhou Xu and Huang Hu, who were each tinkering with the objects in their hands, stood up and looked at each other.

There is a situation!
Without any hesitation, they ran over with the things in their hands and climbed over the small hill. When they saw Li Daoxuan still squatting by the river safely, they heaved a sigh of relief.

"what happened?"

"Have you found anything?"

They came close.

"Look."

Li Daoxuan stared at the ground and said.

They both lowered their heads and saw the series of small footprints.

"This……"

"Something is following us?"

Li Daoxuan threw away the branch in his hand, clapped his hands and stood up, "Stay close to ten."

"So I wanted to ask if you two have discovered anything?"

Zhou Xu and Huang Hu looked at each other with confusion in their eyes, "No, we have been walking with you all the time. Even you didn't notice anything unusual... We didn't even notice it."

The sky was getting dark, and Li Daoxuan looked at the surrounding environment. It was already getting dark when the three of them arrived at the river, and then they went straight to the pavilion and did not go anywhere else.

So if something really followed, then it followed to the pavilion.

But the pavilion is small, and you can see whether there is anything at a glance. There is only the small forest between the river and the pavilion...

"Zhou Xu, go to the forest and blow it again with [Soul Calling]."

The two common techniques of the Blowing Hand Witch are [Soul Requiem] and [Soul Calling], among which [Soul Calling] is an offensive common technique.

"it is good."

Zhou Xu didn't even ask a question, and went directly to the bushes with his luggage on his back.

She raised her white hands, folded them, and put them to her mouth. She was originally relaxed and suddenly became solemn.

A scream that sounded like a death cry and a baby's cry came from Zhou Xu's hand.

Huang Hu quickly reached out to cover his ears, but even so, his face turned pale in shock from the sound.

But he discovered that Li Daoxuan was completely motionless and his expression remained unchanged... So the blowing hand witch's attack was useless to him?
How strong is he... Huang Hu even had a feeling in his heart, could Li Daoxuan be an eighth-rate grain eater?
After the short-term effects of the magic passed, the originally peaceful trees became quieter and quieter, without any unusual appearance.

Zhou Xu also returned to the two of them.

"Is it possible that it's not here?"

"Yes, but it's unlikely." Li Daoxuan didn't explain why, but looked at the messy footprints on the ground again.

Huang Hu suddenly said: "Is it possible that there is another ghost that we can't see?"

"You mean... seeing turbidity?" Zhou Xu's face turned pale.

Li Dao

After hearing what Li Daoxuan said, the two of them calmed down a little.

Then the three of them searched and checked the area, but found nothing unusual.

Except for the row of footprints left by the river, the ghost left no other traces. The three of them had no choice but to return to the pavilion to rest.

As soon as Li Daoxuan sat down, words appeared on the panel.

[The five turbidities are coming, and there are all kinds of ghosts and evil spirits that you have never heard of or seen walking in the revived world. Therefore, when you go out, you must be careful and careful with the things you carry, because you don’t know what those ghosts like. 】

So, is it because of something we carry that we are targeted by ghosts?

Li Daoxuan glanced at the two of them, and then at himself.

"What did you find?" Zhou Xu asked with a frown.

Li Daoxuan didn't say anything... It was impossible for a common weapon to be used. This thing was originally used to restrain ghosts, so it was something else.

"Besides common utensils and gold and silver, do you two bring anything else?" "Other things? Then there are only two sets of clothes left."

"No, I can't bring anything else."

They both shook their heads. Li Daoxuan couldn't tell the clues, and couldn't say whether to search them or not. He just said, "That ghost probably took a fancy to something on us, so he followed us."

"With that said, you two should be careful."

Li Daoxuan was sure that the ghost was not following him, but he didn't know whether it was Zhou Xu or Huang Hu.

Then the three of them discussed the night watch, and the three of them agreed that two people should be on night duty and one should rest, taking turns.

It was okay not to know that there was a ghost, but now that we knew there was a ghost... no one dared to stay up all night alone.

Li Daoxuan was okay. He felt that with his current energy and blood, he could still be energetic even if he stayed up all night for three days, so he and Zhou Xu were in the first round.

Although Huang Hu was brave, he couldn't sleep at this time, so he had to close his eyes and rest.

To the surprise of the three of them, it was a peaceful night.

There was no movement at all all night.

"Maybe it's because what we experienced was too terrifying, and we always felt that nothing was right." Amid Huang Hu's laughter, the three of them finished their breakfast and set foot on the road to Hand Witch City again.

After traveling for half a day, they only saw two people at a fork in the road. Other than that, they only saw blood stains along the way.

Nothing else.

After passing another cesspool, Li Daoxuan suddenly stopped the two of them after walking more than ten feet.

"I'll go back and have a look."

Li Daoxuan came to the puddle that the three of them had just passed by. On the ground, where the three of them had just passed by, the footprints no more than the size of a palm appeared again. They were still so broken and so many.

It's like a child who has been walking quickly with small steps.

Huang Hu and Zhou Xu also followed back. When they saw the footprints on the ground, their faces instantly became horrified.

"That ghost...has been following us."

Li Daoxuan looked up at the two of them, and then looked at the footprints on the ground. He said nothing.

Just pulled out the butcher knife.

The tip of the knife is facing... Huang Hu!
"Li Daoxuan, you..."

Huang Hu's eyes were full of anger, surprise and horror. He obviously did not expect that Li Daoxuan would do this.

Zhou Xu was equally surprised.

But before she could take action, she noticed that Huang Hu's eyes seemed to have lost focus and fell into a state of confusion.

"Go behind Huang Hu and take a look."

Li Daoxuan held the butcher's knife in his hand and said to Zhou Xu without changing his expression.

"it is good……"

Zhou Xu took out a pair of tailor's scissors from her waist, but before she could get behind Huang Hu, she saw a tall and thin figure rushing out. She opened the scissors and hurriedly cut.

Li Daoxuan took action.

The butcher's knife struck him twice in succession, and the figure fell into the weeds on the roadside, twisting and roaring.

Zhou Xu still couldn't recover from the attack just now, and was panting heavily.

Li Daoxuan came to the edge of the grass. In front of him was a skinny "weirdo". He was thin and his feet were the size of a child, but his wide eyes were full of resentment.

For this kind of thing, Li Daoxuan's butcher's knife has always taught the other party how to be a ghost.

So he held the knife in both hands and stabbed hard.

The ghost's figure began to disperse, and what appeared in the grass was a human leg bone.

[Don’t look back when walking in the wilderness. In the secular world, there are many greedy ghosts in the wild. They are greedy when they are alive and do not change their nature after death. For example, this "ghost behind the scenes" you met. 】
