C57

Seeing this, I was so scared that I took a few steps back and broke out in a cold sweat.

Because I suddenly thought of what Third Uncle had said before. He said that when these things raise your hand, you have to run as fast as you can.

If even the corpse raised its hand and wanted to run, then … So what if the corpse raised its head?

I didn't dare to think about it, nor did I have the time to think about it. The instant the corpse raised its head, a cold wind suddenly blew in from all directions. Before I could react, the door burst open with a bang.

A huge force flipped me over, and a door just happened to be pressed down on my body, making me dizzy from the impact.

Before I could even stand up, there was already a scream from the inside of the room. This half corpse, half ghost thing, was actually not afraid of Blood Coffin at all, charging in just like that!

Screams, fleeing for my life. In the darkness, there were countless people stepping on my body, causing my entire body to hurt.

"Longevity!" "Hurry up and leave!"

Third Uncle suddenly pulled me up and threw me outside the door. After saying that sentence, he rushed into the dark room. At this moment, the candles had long been extinguished and the room was devoid of any moonlight. It was even more pitch-black. I could only vaguely see shadows of people fleeing in all directions.

I did not hesitate and turned around to run. At this moment, I could not help either. Staying here would only place a burden on Third Uncle. Due to the special nature of the Ghost Village, normal people wouldn't be able to go out at night. Thus, while running, I arrived in front of the locust tree.

There are still a dozen or so people in the same situation as me, and all of them are standing in front of the locust tree with despair on their faces, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. He did not dare to approach the locust tree, nor did he dare to take a step forward. He only looked at the corner of the Ghost Village street.

Right now, his only hope was the suited man and his third uncle, but right now, neither of them were making a move.

The screams continued for a while longer before they gradually subsided. During the entire process, no one was able to escape. Although it's hard to accept, everyone is very clear that the entire village is still alive. Besides, no one can guarantee that it won't be our turn next.

Looking at the dozen people by my side, I felt an indescribable sadness in my heart. In just a few days, only so few people died in the village of a hundred households. Was that thing really going to destroy the village?

I looked in front of me and felt exceptionally uneasy. If Third Uncle and the suited man walked out from the end of the darkness, then we would be able to escape this calamity. However, if those two things …

None of us here can live!

At that moment, I suddenly felt powerless, unable to help, unable even to escape. I had to say it was a sadness.

While we were panicking, two figures suddenly ran through the darkness.

The figure staggered and seemed to be in a sorry state. Only when I got closer did I realize that it was Third Uncle and the man in the suit.

Was he saved?

My heart was in my throat.

When Third Uncle and the man in the suit arrived, I discovered that they were both carrying a bag of glutinous rice in their hands. As they ran, they were even sprinkling glutinous rice on the ground.

"Kid, come over here and spread these glutinous rice on the ground. The scope must be large!"

The man in the suit threw a bag of glutinous rice at me. He carried the bag on his back and ran to the locust tree, mumbling to himself. His hands seemed to be fiddling with something.

From the eager look on her face, I knew that those two things weren't done yet.

I didn't dare to hesitate and immediately began to act according to the man in the suit's instructions. From ten meters away in front of everyone, I spread out a large amount of glutinous rice.

As soon as he finished sprinkling the glutinous rice, the two half-dead half-ghosts walked out of the darkness.

However, compared to before, their speed was very slow. They walked hand in hand, one step at a time.

Due to the distance, I couldn't see them clearly. Only when I got a little closer did I notice that when their feet landed on the glutinous rice, it would emit a black smoke accompanied by a sizzling sound. It was as if a red-hot soldering iron was thrown into cold water.

Wherever you walk, the glutinous rice will turn black.

They approached the locust tree step by step. Although they were walking slowly, they never stopped. Wherever they went, they would leave behind a black footprint on the glutinous rice.

Black footprints, white glutinous rice, the two of them became the clearest contrast.

It was obvious that these glutinous rice were of limited use to them, but that was all. If this goes on, it won't be possible. Soon, the glutinous rice will lose its restraining effect.

Seeing the two half corpses and half ghosts closing in on them, everyone's expression became nervous.

I asked Third Uncle what to do. Third Uncle shook his head with a pale face, "After eating the flesh and blood, these things are too fierce. In such a short period of time, there's nothing we can do about them."

"Doesn't that mean we are dead for sure?" I was panicking.

"No doubt it's not, but it's even more dangerous than a nine out of ten chance of dying."

Third Uncle looked at the locust tree and said, "I've told you before that this place has been turned upside down. The Gate of Life has its door of death, and similarly, the Gate of Death also has its door of life. And our only chance of survival right now is under this locust tree. "

I was stunned and quickly reacted. "You mean, we should use the thing under the locust tree to deal with these two monsters?"

Third Uncle nodded. "This is our only chance of survival. It's also the best way for us right now."

I wasn't happy at all at what Third Uncle had said, because I knew exactly what it meant. If there is really something terrifying under the locust tree, once we come out, we will be the ones to suffer the most. This method is practically courting death.

However, other than seeking death, there seemed to be no other way out. He could only give it a shot.

However, the problem was that the locust tree was very strange. Just what was inside? How could he force it out? Was he going to cut down the locust tree?

Judging from the amount of time he had, it was clear that he was not in time. Moreover, he still vividly remembered the matter of the locust tree bleeding.

The man in the suit started circling the locust tree with the compass. He was walking very fast and he didn't know what he was doing. It made me very anxious.

In order to buy the suited man some time, Third Uncle had already rushed up to the two monsters and started fighting with them. He originally thought that he could buy some time, but something unexpected happened.

In the darkness of the street, there was suddenly a sound of things being opened. It sounded like something had broken out of the coffin! And there were many of them!

Soon after, a group of people walked out of the darkness with their heads lowered and shoulders hunched. These figures moved very quickly, only slowing down after they stepped onto the glutinous rice region.

When I saw this group of people, I felt like I was struck by lightning. I couldn't recover my senses for a long time. At this moment, my fear was gone, replaced by despair, endless despair.

It's over … It's really over now...

I sat down on the floor, and the last of my hope vanished.

Just two halves of a corpse and a ghost alone had slaughtered half of the village, leaving us with no way to defend ourselves. Now, another group has come out and blocked off the road, and the number of people here is several times greater than the ones we have here.

This is totally pushing us to the edge!

If it had been a narrow escape from death before, then now, once those things got close, it was absolutely a narrow escape from death!

After struggling for such a long time, he didn't expect to die here today.

I sighed and sat on the ground with my head lowered, completely giving up on resisting.

At that moment, I suddenly saw something scurry up to my feet. It was a small black mouse. If it was another village, it would be normal for there to be a mouse, but right now, I can't see any living things on this Ghost Village, so how could a mouse appear?

The little black mouse didn't seem to be afraid of me. It climbed up my feet, and even though I held it in my hand, it didn't seem to have any intention of escaping.

I suddenly felt envious of this little mouse. Perhaps under these circumstances, it was the only one that could survive.

Just as I was thinking, another mouse came out and started circling me. Similarly, the rat was bold, completely unafraid of me, standing up from time to time and sniffing at me.

Feeling that something was wrong, I grabbed the rat by the tail and lifted it up. This little guy is quite ferocious, he actually turned over to bite me.

At this moment, a few more rats came to my side and surrounded me, chattering non-stop. Curious, I looked in the direction of the rats.

In an instant, I was stunned.

I saw two long black lines encircling the house from both sides. They were extremely fast. When I got close, I realized that these black lines were actually formed by the black rats!

Over a hundred black rats formed a circle around us, and the strangest thing was that after this group of rats appeared, they started baring their fangs at the half-dead, making them look especially fierce.

Before I could react, I saw a black shadow scuttle to the front.

When I saw the black shadow, I was shocked. I realized that this black shadow was actually a mouse. However, its size was exceptionally huge. It looked just like a wild cat!
