The corner mechanism was activated, revealing a narrow, secret passage.
If an adult goes in, they must tuck in their stomach and turn to the side; if they move even a little bit, it will be very difficult to get out successfully.
Jiang Nuo grimaced and shoved himself inside, only to see the Flesh Corpse squeeze in, its excessively large and disgusting body dripping with fleshy oil and emitting an unbearable stench.
"Ugh, bro, you're disgusting."
Jiang Nuo sighed and quickly threw his blood-stained clothes into a hidden compartment in the cave wall where the Flesh Corpse had emerged.
The Flesh Corpse hurriedly rushed in, biting at the clothes and stuffing them into its mouth. Jiang Nuo quickly closed the wooden board of the hidden compartment and casually tore off a Corpse-Suppressing Talisman from the side and stuck it on.
The Flesh Corpse stopped moving instantly; the clothes were only half-tucked in.
Jiang Nuo put his hands on his hips and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he heard the wooden planks of the hidden compartment next to him suddenly fall down again. A Blood Corpse, its body devoid of flesh and covered in a mixture of corpse oil and blood, slowly turned its head, its bulging eyeballs slowly moving, staring intently at Jiang Nuo.
Jiang Nuo: "Oh dear."
There's another Blood Corpse!
"Bro, you're so ugly."
Jiang Nuo grinned, then turned and ran.
This place is not suitable for killing ghosts; it's not convenient to move around here at all.
The Blood Corpse followed closely behind, flying directly over Jiang Nuo's head and landing in the middle of the coffin in the basement. It lowered its body and stared at everyone, its foul-smelling blood dripping continuously, corroding the coffin lid.
"This is bad." Si Yan frowned. "If blood drips into the coffin, the corpse will immediately turn into a zombie."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Blood Corpse took to the air and flew towards Song Zheng, who had just recovered. The wound on Song Zheng's arm had not yet healed, and the blood was even more attractive to the Blood Corpse.
"Ugh! It's me again!"
Song Zheng let out a wail and fled in all directions.
A Wu didn't dare to breathe, curling up beside the coffin, hugging his weak and frightened self, watching the three adults fight the Blood Corpse while silently questioning the meaning of life.
"Help me! Help me!" Song Zheng shouted as he ran, his strength already exhausted from fighting the Flesh Corpse, his legs growing heavier and heavier.
Unfortunately, the Blood Corpse was extremely fast, and several times it had already grabbed Song Zheng's back. Its deathly white arms and sharp nails had already left several bloody scratches on Song Zheng's back.
Jiang Nuo was busy studying the corpse and had no time to spare. She seemed to believe that Song Zheng would definitely not die here, and she gave him verbal encouragement while studying the body.
"You can do it, my friend! Believe in yourself!"
Jiang Nuo didn't even look up, but Song Zheng caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye and was immediately furious. "Don't talk like that without understanding the situation!"
Why did he even bother to come all this way?!
In the critical moment, Si Yan stopped the Blood Corpse that was about to bite Song Zheng's neck, inserted two silver needles into the top of his head, and whispered an incantation.
In an instant Blood Corpse slowed down, as if its speed had been slowed down several times. However, due to the use of Spiritual Power, the Blood Corpse smelled a scent on Si Yan that was even more pleasant than fresh blood.
The Blood Corpse, now just a lump of flesh, narrowed its nostrils as it leaned closer to smell Si Yan's scent, making low, guttural noises as if warning the human before it.
Just as Jiang Nuo, who hadn't heard the sound and turned around, saw this scene and immediately stood up.
Si Yan, her face pale and delicate, glanced at Jiang Nuo and spoke in a plaintive tone, " Nuonuo... it took liberties with me."
This is outrageous!
Jiang Nuo rolled up his sleeves and rushed over, ignoring the half-dragged corpse and carelessly tossing it behind him.
A Wu was peeking out when he was suddenly pressed down by a corpse. Looking down, he saw his uncle's body on his legs, arms hanging limply, and gray-white eyes wide open.
A Wu:!!!
My pupils constricted, a silent scream echoed in my mind, and I had to take several deep breaths to barely stop my heart from leaping out of my chest.
"Dude, you're in big trouble."
Jiang Nuo swung the long rope at the Blood Corpse without holding back, and it caught him and gave him a good beating.
The Blood Corpse was already no match for Jiang Nuo, and its movement speed was restricted, leaving it with no chance of escape. However, it was clearly more intelligent than the Flesh Corpse. Seeing that it couldn't win, it knelt down and rolled on the ground, its angry roar turning into a kitten-like scream.
But looking like this, it's impossible to feel sorry for it; its dusty body looks even more disgusting than before.
Watching Jiang Nuo easily subdue the Blood Corpse, Song Zheng, who was already exhausted, leaned on his hips and panted, then rolled his eyes.
After being brutally beaten, the Blood Corpse lay sprawled on the ground, and Jiang Nuo dragged it back into the hidden compartment by one leg.
There's only one Corpse-Suppressing Talisman here, probably one of the traps set by Simazi or the true owner of this basement. Anyone who tries to break in will be eaten by the Flesh Corpse.
Jiang Nuo drew a talisman in the air on the wooden board in front of the Blood Corpse. After a flash of golden light, the talisman disappeared into the wooden board, and the Blood Corpse was suppressed.
As he squeezed out of the secret passage again, Si Yan hugged him from behind, whispering in his ear, "That was really scary, Nuonuo, thank goodness you were here."
Jiang Nuo had heard these words countless times when they first met, and hearing them again from Si Yan now carried a hint of amusement, almost like she was being coquettish.
Okay, okay, Si Jiaojiao does have the privilege of acting cute!
Jiang Nuo patted his hand, refusing to admit that she was completely satisfied.
Song Zheng, standing behind Si Yan, wished he could go deaf.
How dare you scare me?
Song Zheng inwardly grumbling, looking left and right but not seeing A Wu, when he exclaimed, "That kid ran away?!"
Unable to move while pinned down by the corpse, A Wu slowly stretched out his arm from under the coffin, trembling as he pleaded for help.
Watching Song Zheng rescue A Wu, Jiang Nuo exclaimed, "What a filial child!"
Even though my uncle is dead, I still want to stay by his side.
A Wu: "..."
Jiang Nuo gently patted Si Yan's arm to signal him to let go, then pulled out a handful of small paper figures from her pocket and put one in each coffin.
"What are you doing?" Song Zheng asked.
"To prevent them from suddenly turning into zombies, otherwise we'll have even more trouble to deal with."
Jiang Nuo casually replied, then clapped her hands after placing the last piece, "Done."
"What an exciting night!"
"However, there's no corpse of the sorcerer who renamed Wang Laoliu here..." Jiang Nuo pondered.
We've already learned the general secret of the coffin shop and what Simazi wants to do; now we just have to see what happens after we go up the mountain tomorrow.
"This kid saw everything tonight... Will he tell Simazi?" Song Zheng asked hesitantly.
Jiang Nuo immediately replied, "Kill him."
A Wu was so frightened that he hiccuped, his pupils trembling.
Song Zheng: "... Could you please stop taunting the law in front of me?"
Song Zheng instinctively looked at A Wu, "You can't let anything slip tomorrow."
The police's imposing presence already terrified A Wu. Just as he was about to agree, Jiang Nuo flicked something into his mouth, causing him to swallow instinctively in surprise.
A momentary wave of pain swept through his body, but it vanished completely when A Wu showed a pained expression.
"What... is this?" A Wu was completely dumbfounded.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't tell anyone about tonight, everything will be fine."
Jiang Nuo answered with a grin, her eyes sparkling.
"Well... what if I tell them?"
"Then you will die immediately."
A Wu clutched his chest, his last shred of hope vanishing, his face turning dejected.
The four left the way they came.
