One punch calms the storm, no gods in the world

Chapter 43 I can tell at a glance that you are not human
"Where are you coming from?"

"Have you eaten yet?"

The candles flickered, and in the dim light, three corpses sat in the living room, asking Su Ti about his well-being.

If you ignore their rotting bodies, the scene would be quite heartwarming.

But think about the three bodies that had been soaking in water for a month, the overwhelming stench, and the dim environment, and all that was left was horror.

With a smile on his face, Suti answered the questions raised by Qi one by one.

Judging from the conversation, they should be playing a family of three, an old man, a grandmother, and a young man.

But none of this matters.

"I want to ask how many people are left in this village?"

"There aren't many. Apart from us, there's only one household next to us and one a hundred meters ahead. But we don't usually come and go."

One of the scorpions was drooling as he spoke.

Like humans, they also have a greedy and selfish side. It is very rare to see such a living person in such a closed mountain village, and they certainly don't want to share it with their other neighbors.

The same situation happened to the first family that Suti and his companions encountered. If they only had two black snakes that could not eat Suti and his group, they would not have wanted to inform the other companions.

But unfortunately, before they could notify their other companions, they were beaten to death by Suti.

“Oh, then I feel relieved.”

Su Ti stood up with a strange smile on his face. The three demons looked at his actions, looking confused.

"What are you worried about?"

boom!
A huge hand like a giant python stretched out and suddenly grabbed the head of the monster in front of it.

Su Ti grinned.

"Don't worry, I'll take you on your way!"

The demon opened his mouth slightly but before he could say anything, there was a loud bang and he fell headfirst onto the floor.

He smashed the floor with his head, creating a hole. After his brain burst, Suti grabbed his body and threw him against the wall again!
boom!
The body of this demon is in close contact with the wooden wall again!

The powerful force caused it to smash the wooden wall and fly out of the house!
The remaining two sharks opened their mouths wide and did not react for a moment.

All I heard was a loud shout.

"You ghosts, I can tell at a glance that you are not human!"

Then two big red fists grew bigger and bigger in front of the two demons, followed by a loud bang!
The two demons had no time to react. Their feet were stretched forward after being hit by a punch, and their heads flew backwards, hitting the wall heavily, breaking through the wall and flying out of the door!

One of them died with its head exploded in mid-air, and the other one lay on the ground with its limbs twisted and its neck tilted, still struggling.

The violent movement also disturbed the last family, and two snakes poked their heads out of the door, and saw this scene.
"Run!"

The twisted monster stretched out its arms and shouted with all its might, but before it could finish its words, a huge foot dropped from the sky and stepped on its head.

With a snap, its head was crushed like a watermelon.

"run?"

The person who owned the big foot had a hideous and weird smile on his face, and he tilted his head to look at the two monsters that stuck their heads out with terrified expressions.

"Can you run?"

This was the scene that the four people including Mr. Xu saw when they walked out of the room.

Two monsters that looked like floating corpses screamed and fled into the room. Then a black afterimage smashed the door of the house with a bang and rushed in.

After a loud noise and screams, the house soon became quiet.

Suti, who had just walked in, walked out with a corpse with two broken neck bones and twisted limbs, and threw it on the open space in the middle.

"Help me move the two bodies out of the first house, and light a fire to burn all these things. They stink."

Suti spoke.

At this time, he had absorbed all the energy of these corpses. In his eyes, these corpses were useless except for emitting a foul stench.

"Oh oh" Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they reacted and started to act together.

Ten minutes later, looking at the blazing fire in front of them, Mr. Xu and his companions were still somewhat dazed.
This ended a little too quickly.

Moreover, mountain village, old man, corpse, hallucination, ghost den, these keywords are enough to make a horror movie!
As a result, the movie had only been going on for more than ten minutes, and the first act hadn't ended yet, but it had already ended.
However, Mr. Xu and others were well-informed and had traveled far and wide, so they quickly got rid of this sense of déjà vu.

In the final analysis, this is because their team's combat effectiveness has been greatly improved with the addition of Suti. If ordinary people encountered these monsters, it would definitely be a horror movie, but when these monsters met Suti, it would be their horror movie.

Under the firelight, Old Xu said seriously.

"It seems that my judgment was correct. This tomb is really very dangerous. I even encountered evil spirits outside the tomb. This has never happened in my previous career of tomb robbing!"

"Because it didn't show up, I didn't have the heart to guard against it and almost fell for it. Fortunately, Brother Su Xiu was cautious and didn't make a big mistake!"

A few of them nodded slightly, all with lingering fear on their faces.

Although these demons are not much stronger than ordinary people, and are even worse than warriors in the Tongli period, their strength does not lie in their bodies, but in the illusion that can even deceive Su Ti.

Once you fall into the hallucination, you will be fooled around, poisoned, defeated one by one, and even framed, killed by mistake and other tricks can be used. This is the most terrifying thing about the demon!

"This place is very strange. We are new here. Although this group of demons has been completely destroyed, there is no guarantee that there are still other evil spirits."

Old Xu whispered and looked around.

As soon as these words were spoken, although everyone was sitting around the fire, they felt a chill all over their bodies. They felt as if there were other eyes spying on them in the dark mountain village.

"Many evil spirits have the ability to create illusions, especially in mountain villages and old forests like this. I believe you have heard many legends and stories about them."

"Don't we have Fengyoujing?"

Su Ti shook the Fengyoujing in his hand. Before what happened today, he would never have thought that Fengyoujing could drive away evil spirits. He must buy two more bottles in the future just in case of emergency.

Old Xu shook his head. "Fengyoujing is not a panacea. It can only be used against evil spirits that rely on the sense of smell to perform magic. Many evil spirits do not rely on the sense of smell to deceive people."

"Like skinning monsters and corpse puppet worms, the former can change skin to disguise themselves, and the latter can parasitize and take on the appearance of a person. These are not things that Fengyoujing can distinguish."

"So we can't be separated anymore. The five of us have to stay together for food, clothing, housing and transportation. At the same time, I suggest using some special methods to manage our identities."

As Mr. Xu spoke, he took out some props.

"First, we all have to tie a red rope like this on our hands. Secondly, I have made some secret codes. Come over here and let's compare them. Before making any critical decisions, we must first check the secret codes before we can trust each other."

Previously, because they had not entered the tomb, Mr. Xu relaxed his vigilance. Now that he knew there were evil spirits outside the tomb, Mr. Xu's professionalism came into play and he made a very detailed plan.

On the first night, everyone lit a bonfire all night and slept in tents around the open space of the wooden house. There were also two people on duty at night, taking turns to stand guard.

This continued until the sun rose in the morning, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After everyone got up, they gathered together. Old Xu glanced at everyone and spoke.

"Most evil spirits don't appear during the day. Ghosts are afraid of sunlight. Although monsters won't be directly killed by sunlight, they also hate it very much."

"So it's still very safe during the day, and we can also take the opportunity to investigate the surrounding area of ​​this mountain village."

Although it was daytime, everyone did not disperse and started the investigation together under the leadership of Mr. Xu.

The mountain village is not big, and because of the fire more than ten years ago, there are only three households now. The crowd quickly walked around and did not find any other houses.

Then everyone searched the house where the demons lived thoroughly.

In the kitchen, they found a lot of ingredients such as smoked meat and sausages.

When they opened the basement of the house, they found many human skeletons.

"These skeletons are very old. The youngest is seven or eight years old, and the oldest is more than ten years old. It seems that no one has visited this mountain village in recent years."

"The magpies can't build houses. I guess people used to live in these houses. Just like what the magpies said, the people who lived here were the survivors of the fire, some elderly people who didn't want to leave the village. Later, for some unknown reason, the magpies came and killed all the owners of these houses, and then took over the houses and occupied this place."

"The remains at the back could be young people who came back to the village to visit their elders, or they could be tourists."

"In short, they were all bewitched and killed by the demon, and no news has been released."

While picking up the bones, Old Xu spoke very professionally.

"Those bacon and sausages are not all human. I think the human ones have been eaten by them a long time ago. These bacon and sausages are all animal meat."

"Do evil spirits need food and drink like normal people?"

Suti asked with some surprise.

"I don't want it either."

Mr. Xu stroked his beard and began to explain.

"When they are on the Yin Meridian, they can survive by absorbing only Yin Qi, but once they leave the Yin Meridian, many evil spirits must survive by eating flesh and blood with souls. As for eating dried animal corpses, it is their hobby, just like eating snacks, not the main course."

Then the crowd started a fire and burned down all three houses.

It’s not that they don’t want to live in them, but these three houses have been occupied by the demons for a long time and there is a strong stench of corpses inside. There is no other way except to burn them down.

After burning down the house, everyone started on their way again.

They came here to survey the tomb and rob it, so the first thing they had to do was find the tomb, and this was left to professionals like Mr. Xu.

Old Xu took out a compass, a map, and various incomprehensible special instruments and began measuring.

"If I'm not mistaken, the direction of this Yin Vein should be downstream, and we are almost at the end. Although there is still some Yin Qi gathering here, it is not much."

"Ancient tombs like this one built on a Yin vein are usually built directly at the starting point of the Yin vein, that is, the source of the Yin vein. The Yin energy at that location is the heaviest, and it is also the most likely for evil spirits to be born."

"Come on, follow me closely, we are going to find the source now."

So everyone followed Mr. Xu and started climbing mountains and wading through water, just like following a tour guide.

It is not easy for Suti to discover the tomb-robbing industry.

It took Old Xu a whole week just to measure the approximate location of the Yin meridian.

During this period, everyone crossed mountains and rivers near Mujia Village, stopped and walked, went down the mountain to the city to replenish food and water, and then came back to continue measuring the direction.

Finally, the hard work paid off. At noon on the seventh day, everyone found the source of the Yin Vein on a mountain peak about two miles away from the left side of Mujia Village.

This mountain is more than 200 meters high and is shaped like a right triangle. The soil on the slope is loose and there is a dense jungle. The crowd climbed up the mountain through the jungle.

Its right-angled surface is a steep cliff, made entirely of hard rock, with no grass growing on it.

At this time, everyone was standing on the top of the mountain. There was a large platform on the top of the mountain. There was hard rock under their feet and no grass. At the end of the platform was a steep cliff.

"If I'm not mistaken, the tomb of King Mu is right under our feet now."

Old Xu walked around the platform and finally stroked his beard and said.

"Is it right under your feet? Mr. Xu, please give me a location. I will start digging now."

Old Li laughed as he held the engineer shovel. After measuring the directions for so many days, he could finally start digging the grave. He was itching to do it.

Lao Li’s role in the tomb-robbing team is a civil engineer who is specifically responsible for digging holes, commonly known as a drill dragon or pangolin.

Compared with someone like Mr. Xu who has the ability to see through the universe, one is responsible for surveying while the other is responsible for digging.

Old Xu shook his head slightly.

"You won't be able to dig it. The location of this tomb is very peculiar. It was buried inside the mountain using the cliff burial method. If you want to dig vertically, you have to dig at least a hundred meters along the hard rock before you can dig it."

Upon hearing the 100-meter position, Lao Li quickly shook his head. No matter how confident he was in his digging skills, he was not confident enough to dig a hundred meters with just an engineer shovel. You know, even a drilling machine could not reach that deep underground.

Besides, this place is so remote, deep in the mountains and old forests, that even the drilling machine cannot catch any fish.
