An unusual, Supernatural fluctuation emanated from afar, and the black bird, which had been flying aimlessly in the sky, suddenly changed direction.
Hu Jiu floated high into the air, his figure becoming ethereal, with wisps of mist rising around him, as if a cloud was supporting him as he hovered in the air.
He didn't try to catch those strange birds anymore; they were just Supernatural byproducts anyway, and the birds couldn't be completely eradicated until the source was addressed.
What bothered Hu Jiu even more was that the strange birds suddenly changed their flight direction, as if they were avoiding something.
The strange bird itself is terrifying enough; anything they actively avoid must be even more sinister.
Suddenly, Hu Jiu felt a suction force, and his illusory figure almost became unstable.
Then he saw that a grave suddenly rose up from the ground directly below him, with a Tombstone in front of it. A crack appeared in the tombstone, from which a tremendous suction force emanated.
Hu Jiu looked again and noticed a photo on the Tombstone. It was a black and white portrait. The head and limbs were no different from those of a normal person. It was ordinary and unremarkable, but the belly was swollen, like an inflated balloon.
On that swollen belly, the navel appeared as a swirling black hole, seemingly capable of swallowing countless things. Hu Jiu only glanced at it before feeling a sticky sensation, and it took him a long time to look away.
If an ordinary person were to look directly into that portrait, their body and soul would likely be sucked in.
The entire tomb reeked of a terrible stench of decay, and it devoured many strange birds in the sky.
"A food-loving ghost? I'll get you some extra food..."
With a wave of his hand, Hu Jiu sent countless heavy Talisman crashing down toward the grave.
As expected, the photograph on the Tombstone swallowed all the Talisman.
A few seconds later, a loud bang came from inside the grave, and the surface of the grave cracked and was covered with spider web-like patterns.
However, the changes ended there. The Talisman that were powerful enough to cause a major Supernatural event only slightly altered the appearance of the tomb, without even weakening its aura.
Hu Jiu pondered for a moment, then saw a plume of black smoke billowing from the crack in the tomb, heading straight for him.
"This is where...?"
He shifted his body slightly to avoid the attack of the black smoke, and at the same time, a rotting corpse crawled out of the grave.
The corpse's skin had mostly fallen off, revealing a huge belly. The writhing, black and yellow fat emitted a pungent stench, and strands of bodily fluids oozed out from the fat.
The way it was about to burst forth was truly disgusting.
It's unclear whether this ghost was deliberately released or revived naturally. Although it appeared on Hu Jiu's way, Hu Jiu didn't intend to bother to contain or deal with it.
Instead, he wanted to enhance the ghost.
"Let's cause a huge ruckus!" Hu Jiu laughed smugly and maliciously. He was a complete scoundrel who only knew how to add fuel to the fire and exacerbate the chaos. The more people who died, the happier he was!
The grave, which had already come back to life, went berserk under Hu Jiu's provocation.
A chilling wind blew, black mist swirled, and more bloated corpses crawled out of the graves, like zombies unleashed.
Their target was probably Hu Jiu, but Hu Jiu had long since disappeared. Instead, many falling peach blossoms continued to lure the corpses toward areas where crowds gathered in the city.
