Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 32: The Remains in the Water

"Damn it, it's definitely a ghost slave. If I get in contact with stagnant water, I'll be attacked by the ghost slaves."

Jiang Shangbai said in a low voice with a gloomy face.

The pond was calm, but the whole pond had become turbid and exuded a rotten stench, as if a corpse had been soaking in the water for too long. The fragmented corpse was still floating on the water, and the dead head was constantly spitting out turbid water. It was obviously a real ghost!
Cao Yang did not move, but the shadow under his feet was moving. Gravity changed Cao Yang's weight. Now Jiang Shangbai was the heaviest person. The ghost carrying a man tried to break free from Cao Yang's restraints and kill Jiang Shangbai, but this instinct was well restrained by Cao Yang.

"The real source of the ghost is in the pond. If you want to get closer, you must walk through the water."

The gravity ghost's lair quietly unfolded, and the surrounding environment did not change, but Jiang Shangbai instinctively sensed something unusual. His body suddenly became light, as if it would float in the air at any time.

"Is this Cao Yang's ability?"

Jiang Shangbai guessed in his heart.

The accumulated water on the ground spread to both sides under the influence of gravity, and Cao Yang forcibly opened a path out.

"Go quickly. You can't use my ability for too long. To be on the safe side, I also suggest you use your ability. If you get dragged down by those ghost slaves in the process, I won't be able to save you."

"It seems that is the source of the evil spirit. As long as it is imprisoned, all the supernatural phenomena in this area will disappear."

As soon as he said it, the shadow on the ground was disappearing, and Cao Yang seemed to be covered by a layer of black shadow, making his figure look a little blurry. However, the gravity ghost in his body seemed to be very opposed to this state, and tried his best to take off the ghost clothes of the ghost carrying people. Even Cao Yang could not restrain this instinct.

Jiang Shangbai pondered for a few seconds and finally listened to Cao Yang's advice. The dead man's soles replaced his feet and the two walked towards the pond.

Gravity can disperse some of the accumulated water, but the closer you get to the pond, the weaker the effect. Cao Yang inevitably stepped on the accumulated water on the ground. Instantly, several corpses emerged and tried to grab Cao Yang's ankles and drag him into the water. But due to the existence of the ghost carrying people, those ghost slaves only approached Cao Yang, and then withdrew their pale and stiff palms as if they were electrocuted.

"The ghost carrying people has become my shadow, so I might as well learn from Yang Jian and try to let the ghost carrying people cover myself and wear the ghost as clothes."

"demon?"

Cao Yang's sight fell on the dead head that was still spitting out muddy water. There was a body together with the dead head, but the limbs, torso and head were all separated. It was just put together to resemble a body on the water surface.

Jiang Shangbai's face looked a little bad. The longer the dead man's feet appeared in reality, the weaker his control over his body became. The ghost was gradually replacing him.

"Don't make it sound so easy. It's in the water. You and I won't go into the water easily. Who will detain it?"

"I still stick to the previous plan. I will actively trigger the rules and make the ghost come out of the pond. You do the work and I will cooperate."

Jiang Shangbai was walking with dead people's feet, and all the ghost slaves who tried to touch his feet were instantly dispersed. The ghost slaves could not fight against real ghosts, but this made Jiang Shangbai feel uncomfortable.

But five minutes was enough, and it only took them a minute or two to reach the edge of the pond.

"It seems that this state cannot last too long. The ghost will have to leave my body in five minutes at most."

"Now that things have come to this, let's give it a try as you said."

Cao Yang said calmly that in the face of supernatural events, the simpler the method, the more likely it is to work. Because ghosts have no wisdom or consciousness, they only act according to their instincts.

Seeing Jiang Shangbai's agreement, Cao Yang also took the initiative to undertake the dangerous task of triggering the evil spirit's law. He slowly walked to the edge of the pond and looked down. The turbid water surface could only barely reflect Cao Yang's image. But soon, another pale and swollen face quickly emerged from under the water, and the water surface was rippled, and even the reflection disappeared.

At the same time, the dead head that was spitting water also disappeared, followed by the mutilated body. Obviously, Cao Yang had triggered the pattern and was about to be attacked by ghosts.

"Will it succeed?" Jiang Shangbai couldn't help feeling a little nervous. He had fought against this ghost once before, and the floating corpse ghost recovered in just a few seconds after being kicked down by the ghost's foot. This was enough to prove how terrifying the floating corpse ghost was.

Something is wrong. It is absolutely wrong. If the ghost disappears from the pond, it should appear somewhere else.

Cao Yang ignored the floating corpse on the water, but withdrew his gaze and thought about something.

"Wow~!"

The accumulated water around them suddenly churned up, and in just a few seconds, circles of water curtains formed, surrounding Cao Yang and Jiang Shangbai. Cao Yang's eyes suddenly condensed. This was another kind of ghost den of floating corpse ghosts, and gravity could no longer affect it. In other words, the turbid water ghost den was stronger than the gravity ghost den.

“Ding Da~”

The water curtain in the air was dripping continuously, and the speed of water seeping from the ground was also increasing. In a few breaths, the accumulated water had already reached the ankles again. There were always pale and swollen dead hands and limbs sticking out of the water, as if they were trying to pull the people outside into the water curtain and drown them.

"This is to drown us alive."

Jiang Shangbai's face was terribly gloomy, and his body became wet. The turbid water had already had a significant impact on him.

"Tap tap~!"

Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the water curtain. The footsteps were mechanical and stiff, obviously not made by a living person.

Appeared.

The source of the footsteps was the body, a rotten head with only half a face, and pale, swollen limbs spliced ​​onto the body in an extremely uncoordinated way, which made people feel horrified just by looking at it. Not only that, the skin on the ghost's limbs was completely cracked, and turbid water flowed out of the cracks, making the surrounding air more and more humid.

"Although it was a bit unexpected, the purpose of attracting the ghost to appear has been achieved. Let's continue according to the plan."

Cao Yang looked at Jiang Shangbai, his eyes full of encouragement, as if to say: "Come on, don't underestimate the bond between you and Ghost Foot!"

At this point, Jiang Shangbai had no choice but to go up. The source ghost was right in front of him. As long as he rushed up and kicked it, Cao Yang would cooperate with him to imprison it. Just one kick would be enough. Jiang Shangbai gritted his teeth and rushed up. When he was still two or three meters away from the ghost, he took off with a slingshot, and aimed the soles of his dead feet at the body of the evil ghost.

"Oh!"

The evil ghost with a strange posture was kicked away by Jiang Shangbai, and even the water curtain flowing around it stopped in an instant. The turbid and smelly water fell down like an overwhelming force, and the amount of water was enough to drown the two of them.

The floating corpse ghost's lair was released, and Cao Yang's gravity lair could work again. The turbid water stayed in the air without falling because the gravity was forcibly changed, but the accumulated water on the ground did not change. Jiang Shangbai kicked out, and the accumulated water around him soon submerged his body. Several corpses under the water tightly wrapped around him and prevented him from leaving.

"Woooo~!"

Jiang Shangbai was choked by the muddy water and was unable to speak, he could only make dull whimpers.

"Damn, where's the ghost?"

After Cao Yang controlled the falling turbid water, he found that the ghost had disappeared.

"Plop~!"

Faintly, Cao Yang seemed to hear the sound of someone falling into the water.
