Chapter 1628 The Road of Resentful Ghosts

He took a water bag and poured it little by little on the clay figurine’s head. The dry mud melted away much faster than Li Bai imagined. After a while, Hu Jingyi’s head was exposed.

It’s just that Hu Jingyi today is very different from the fair-skinned painting teacher in their impressions. His eyes were gone and turned into two bloody holes, and his whole face showed an extremely terrifying look. The twisted, shriveled skin clung to the bones, as if it had been squeezed dry.

The most horrifying thing was his mouth. The corners of his mouth were torn and his gums were everted. Li Bai could imagine that this was caused by Empress Injection's fleshy tentacles getting in.

The torn mouth was still squirming and making weak sounds.

Hu Jingyi couldn't see the two of them in this state. He must have heard their voices and called their names with his last strength.

"How are you?" Li Bai poured a little water into Hu Jingyi's mouth. He was obviously very dehydrated.

“Ho ho.”

What makes Li Bai and Zhang Yuanchao regretful is that Hu Jingyi can only say his name now, and can only make meaningless ho ho sounds from his throat. , like a dying old man out of breath.

Zhang Yuanchao swallowed and touched Li Bai with some embarrassment, "Daughter, this Teacher Hu is hopeless. Even if he is like this, we can't take him away."

Li Bai naturally knows this truth. If you can save, you can save. If you can't save anyone, you can't do anything. But what Li Bai thinks is that if Hu Jingyi still has some consciousness, then she might be able to find out some information here, such as who is it. Bringing him here, wrapping him into a clay sculpture, and maybe knowing how to get out of here.

Thinking of this, Li Bai fed Hu Jingyi some more water, "Teacher Hu, can you hear us? I am Li Bai."

"Daughter, I can't stay here for a long time, but Don’t harm yourself with your kindness.”

Zhang Yuanchao was extremely anxious when he saw that Li Bai had not yet left. After all, the statue of Empress Zhusheng not far away was still watching.

"Li Bai."

"Zhang Zhangshanke."

Hearing this, Li Bai's expression changed instantly. Zhangshanke was the name that Hu Jingyi and his party called Zhang Yuanchao. The word "shanke" describes a person who takes people into the mountains. In today's terms, it is similar to a tour guide.

While Hu Jingyi was still conscious, Li Bai quickly asked the most critical question, "Hu Jingyi, do you know how to get out of here?"

"Ho ho." Hu Jingyi's withered face distortion The pain became more and more severe, and the body wrapped in dry mud started to shake for no reason, as if it was facing great pain, "Down there, ho, ho, ho, belly."

"Ahhhh! ! ”

Hu Jingyi, who was still weak just now, suddenly roared like crazy, and the scream was so sharp that it could pierce the eardrums. Along with the roar, a devastating scene appeared. Fierce scratching sounds came from Hu Jingyi's body. Then the mud shell on the abdomen suddenly cracked open, and a pitch-black baby hand came out. The sharp nails growing on the fingertips reflected the cold light.

Zhang Yuanchao, who was squatting on the ground, did not react and was almost scratched by the baby's hands that were scratching randomly.

As the strange baby emerged from its shell, Hu Jingyi struggled a few times, tilted his head, and died.

Li Bai pulled up Zhang Yuanchao who was lying on the ground, and the two turned around and ran towards the depths of the tunnel.

Hu Jingyi’s voice just before his death triggered a chain reaction, and scratching sounds began to sound in the originally quiet tunnel.

More and more strange babies are waking up, and Li Bai doesn't know what kind of monsters they are.

"Li Bai!"

"Zhang Shanke!"

The strange call echoed deep in the tunnel, as if coming from all directions.

Moreover, the strange baby that crawled out of Hu Jingyi's belly was already chasing them at an extremely fast speed. Li Bai turned his head and glanced at it. The black figure was shuttled in the darkness at the edge of the tunnel, stepping on clay figures one after another to catch up. Li Bai couldn't see them clearly, but their outline looked like a wild monkey that had lost its hair.

"Be careful!"

Li Bai was suddenly pushed. He staggered a few times and almost fell down. A strong wind came from behind and was blocked by the burly Zhang Yuanchao.

Li Bai stood up quickly and looked at a clay figure a few meters away. On the head of the clay figure squatted a baby covered in black and blue.

At this moment, the baby's face was painful and ferocious. One of its paws was raised, and the skin and flesh on it was melting away, even revealing tiny pale white bones.

Zhang Yuanchao was stunned for a few seconds, and then looked at the water bag around his waist. It was the water bag that had blocked the blow for him just now.

However, the water bag was also scratched and leaked, and now it was dripping water with a few scratch marks on it.

"Hurry up and block the water sac!"

Li Bai immediately realized that these ghosts were afraid of water. Water was like concentrated acid to these strange babies. The baby's skeleton under the well was hint.

No wonder. No wonder the villagers are telling them that they cannot leave Blackwater Village because these ghosts are afraid of water, and there is an entire Blackwater River surrounding the village, and there is no bridge on the river.

The injured strange baby became ferocious and roared at the two of them again. This time, Li Bai prepared some water in his hand and poured it on the strange baby.

"Wow! Zhizhi. Wow!"

The strange baby was splashed on the face without any hesitation. The monkey-like strange baby was rolling on the ground in pain and could not even think about attacking anyone.

Li and Bai turned around and ran away. Behind the sound, more strange babies had woken up and were chasing them.

In the following process, they repelled several waves of strange babies with water. These strange babies were also constantly learning. They knew the power of water, so they kept testing, but few actually attacked.

Li Bai was out of breath as he ran, "This way. It can't go on like this. They are consuming our water."

There is not much water left. They only have three water bladders in total. They used one for Hu Jingyi before, and then the one on Zhang Yuanchao leaked a lot. With the consumption during this period, now they only have enough water bladders. There is only one left.

The road ahead still has no end, and Li Bai suspected that even if they went out, they would still return to the square.

What to do?

What should we do?

Just when Li Bai was upset, Zhang Yuanchao gradually stopped.

"Girl, don't run away, it's useless."

Looking at Zhang Yuanchao's face that suddenly calmed down, Li Bai's urging words stopped in his mouth. Now Zhang Yuanchao's feeling for him suddenly changed and became complicated. , became heavy, became a little unfathomable, and suddenly I couldn’t understand it.

"This road is the road of resentful ghosts. Those educated fortune tellers also call it the lost road. Where there are many people who have died, there is a lot of resentment, and it is easy for these ghosts to appear."

Zhang Yuanchao He exhaled and said slowly: "It's not those weird babies. They won’t let us go. It’s these people who died here who don’t want to let us go. They have resentments in their hearts and want to keep us too.” I have asked for leave from the company until May Day, you know what I mean.
