Nightmare Attack

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 painting teacher in their impressions. His eyes are gone and turned into two bloody holes. His whole face shows an unusually terrifying distortion, and his shriveled skin is tight. It is close to the bone, as if it has been squeezed dry.

The most horrifying thing was his mouth. The corners of his mouth were torn and his gums were outturned. Li Bai could imagine that this was caused by the fleshy tentacles of Empress Zhusheng getting in.

The torn mouth was still moving and making weak sounds.

Hu Jingyi couldn't see the two of them in this state. He must have heard their voices, so he used his last strength to call their names.

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

"Ho ho"

But what makes Li Bai and Zhang Yuanchao regretful is that Hu Jingyi can only say his name now, and can only make meaningless whooshing sounds from his throat, like a dying old man who can't breathe.

Zhang Yuanchao swallowed and touched Li Bai awkwardly, "Daughter, this Teacher Hu is hopeless. We can't take him away even if he is like this."

Li Bai naturally knows this truth. If you can save, you can save. There is nothing you can do if you can't save anyone. 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. After bringing him here and wrapping him into a clay sculpture, he might even know how to get out of here.

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

"Daughter, you can't stay here for a long time, but don't harm yourself with your kindness."

Seeing that Li Bai had not left yet, Zhang Yuanchao was extremely anxious. After all, the statue of Empress Zhusheng not far away was still staring at her.

"Li Bai"

"Zhang Zhang Mountain Guest"

Hearing this, Li Bai's expression changed instantly. Zhang Shanke was the name that Hu Jingyi and his party called Zhang Yuanchao. The word "shanke" describes a person who leads 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 shriveled face became more and more distorted, and his body wrapped in dry mud started to shake for no reason, as if he was facing great pain, "Ho ho ho ho, in the belly below"

“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, didn't react and was almost scratched by the baby's hands 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!"

Weird calls echoed deep in the tunnel, seeming to come 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 by one to chase them. Li Bai couldn't see clearly. It's clear, but the outline looks like a wild monkey that has lost its hair.

"careful!"

Suddenly being pushed, Li Bai staggered a few times and almost fell. A strong wind came from behind, but he was blocked by the burly Zhang Yuanchao.

Li Bai stood up quickly and looked at a clay figure a few meters away. On top of the clay figure was 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 were melting away, even revealing tiny pale white bones.

Zhang Yuanchao was stunned for a few seconds, then looked at the water bag on 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 scratches on it.

"Quickly block the water bag!"

Li Bai immediately realized that these ghosts were afraid of water. Water was like strong acid to these strange babies. The baby skeletons under the well were a reminder.

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! Zhizhiwah!"

The strange baby was thrown right in the face. 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 awakened and were chasing them.

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

Li Bai ran out of breath, "It won't work like this, they are consuming our water."

There was not much water left. They only had three water bags in total. One was used for Hu Jingyi before, and the one on Zhang Yuanchao leaked a lot. In addition to the consumption during this period, they only had one left.

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

What to do?

What to do?

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

"Girl, don't run, 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 to him suddenly changed, becoming complicated, heavy, and somewhat unfathomable. Suddenly, he couldn't understand it.

"This road is the road of resentful ghosts. Those educated fortune tellers call it the lost path. Where there are many dead people, there is a lot of resentment, and it is easy for these spirits to appear." Zhang Yuanchao exhaled and said slowly: "It's not that those strange babies won't let us go, it's these people who died here who won't let us go. They have resentment in their hearts and want to keep us as well."
