Chapter 908 Bait
The fat man seemed to suddenly think of something when he heard this, and said quickly: "Do you still remember that in local legend, the saint has a wooden box covering her head when she appears. ”
“It seems that her appearance changed at that time, and when she died of starvation During the battle with the ghost, she overused the power of the door, which caused the door in her body to completely lose control, and she finally became like this." Huaiyi looked at the head behind Shang Zuo, and his tone couldn't help but feel a little sad. Disciple, he knew that from the moment the contract was reached, their lives were no longer controlled by him.
"What makes you look like this?" Gongsun Zhiruo turned to look at Shang Zuo's face. Everyone was very wary of what Shang Zuo said.
Shang Zuo raised his hand and touched the wrinkles on his face. He looked old, with the face of an old man in his 60s. "Since the human head grew on my body, I have become older day by day. Come on, it...it seems to be sucking my blood. This is my punishment for releasing the starving ghost!" Shang Zuo said with a sad face: "This is a curse from the saint!"
"Only by returning to this snow mountain can my aging be alleviated. If we want to completely get rid of the curse and seal the starving ghost again, we must return to the Saint's Tomb!"
Although we hate Shang Zuo, The task must be completed, and everyone can still figure out which is more important and which is less important.
After a brief discussion, Jiang Chengzigui and his party believed that what Shang Zuo said was credible. After all, looking at his appearance, he would really not be able to survive if he were delayed for a few more days.
“But we are trapped, truly trapped in this lost place.” Lu Yu said worriedly.
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng looked at Gongsun Zhiruo and asked, "Did you say we encountered a snowstorm just now?"
Gongsun Zhiruo nodded and said seriously: "Yes, the snowstorm came not long after you left. Taking advantage of the snowstorm, the starving ghost appeared disguised as Zigui."
Recalling the previous scene , Shang Zuo was so frightened that the wrinkles on his face were piled together. If he hadn't been careful, he would have died just now.
"But that's not what we saw. We didn't see a snowstorm. The weather was always very good, but the camp and you all disappeared." Jiang Cheng said.
Han Juanjuan was shocked when he heard the news, "You didn't see the snowstorm, why?"
After a moment of silence, Bai Xi said thoughtfully: "Explanation The last time the Starving Ghosts targeted us, they gave up on Mr. Jiang and the others. "After all, everyone knows that every time the Starving Ghosts appear, there will be a snowstorm.
"What would have happened if Mr. Jiang and the others had left here immediately after discovering that the camp had disappeared last time?" Gongsun Zhiruo raised his head and asked.
"While the starving ghosts' attention is focused on you, we might be able to leave here, break down the ghost wall, and find the real way to the top of the mountain!" the fat man said excitedly.
“Yes, that’s it!” Han Juanjuan also understood.
After some discussion, everyone’s opinions became unified. The way to survive in this task is to divide the team into two parts. One of them will be used as a bait to attract the attention of the hungry ghosts, while the other team will He left quietly, taking the saint's head with him, and headed straight to the saint's tomb at the top of Ga Uzhangde Peak.
“But there are loopholes in this plan.” Huai Yi’s face was not as optimistic as the others. He looked at Gongsun Zhiruo and his party and said, “Have you ever thought about which team Shang Zuo is following?”
"We need the saint's head on him to complete the seal, so he must follow the climbing team, but once he leaves, the bait team left behind will not attract the attention of the hungry ghosts at all."
Judging from the actions of the Starving Ghost, it can probably vaguely sense the position of the Saint's head, so there is no point in losing Shang Zuo's bait team.
This is an unanswerable question.
Huai Yi and Bai Xi, one on the left and the other on the right, were looking back and forth at Shang Zuo with strange eyes, making Shang Zuo tremble.
But the two looks were different. The former looked malicious, while the latter looked mad, as if they wanted to cut him open.
When everyone was at a loss what to do, Shang Mo, who was huddled in the middle of the tent, raised his hand and said tremblingly: "You... don't think too much, I have a way, maybe it will work."
Huaiyi sneered, "It better work, otherwise you know the consequences."
Shang Zuo swallowed, Xiao He said: "When I was being chased by a starving ghost before, I once tried to take off part of the saint's head and hide it in a place. The hungry ghost would be attracted to it."
"Of course, the premise is that I carefully wrap the head on my back with this golden quilt to prevent the breath from leaking." Shang Zuo emphasized.
"Is this okay?" The fat man looked a little ugly. In his opinion, taking off part of the saint's head was still a bit too scary. Who knows what Shang Zuo was forced into.
"Are you telling the truth?" Zigui asked: "Since you said you took away a part, why is there no wound on the saint's head?"
"I only take a small part of it each time, and This... this head is alive! After being injured, the wound will heal quickly, it only takes one night." Speaking of this, Shang Zuo had cold sweat on his forehead, obviously recalling very bad things.
Bai Xi pulled out the signal gun in his hand, tapped Shang Zuo's head a few times, and threatened in a cold tone: "Don't even think about lying to us, or I'll treat you to a signal bomb."
Shang Zuo couldn't help but dodge and said: "No, I certainly wouldn't dare to lie to you. You are all good people who volunteered to help me. , is my benefactor."
"I hope so." Jiang Cheng nodded, then looked at the others and said calmly: "Now that the bait has been set, someone needs to take the bait. , to lure away the hungry ghosts." After a pause, he said: "Who wants to go?"
When the scene calms down, those who leave with the bait will definitely be attacked by hungry ghosts. This is almost a suicide mission, and the probability of survival is surprisingly low.
A moment later...
"I'll go." Gongsun Zhiruo said.
Everyone looked at Gongsun Zhiruo with different eyes. Lu Yu's face became anxious and he subconsciously said: "Teacher Gongsun!"
Gongsun Zhiruo turned his head and looked at Lu Yu who was worried about him. Yu stretched out his hand, rubbed her head, and said softly: "Don't worry, the teacher is very powerful. When you, Lu Yu, reach the top and complete the task, the teacher will be fine."
After finishing speaking, Gongsun Zhiruo turned around and looked at Jiang Cheng and the other three. Before he could speak, Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "I'll go with you and I won't let you suffer."
This sentence Gongsun Zhiruo, who was originally quite serious, looked a little embarrassed.
"Doctor, I'll go with you." The fat man couldn't help but walked over. His huge body looked very capable of fighting. The Han Juanjuan closest to him was pushed aside. (End of this chapter)
