You said you could kill the evil spirits without me, why are you crying now?

Chapter 400 The color of the soil is scary red, it’s exactly the same as blood!

The night was as dark as ink, deeply covering the silent yet slightly eerie construction site.

On the construction site, several high-powered searchlights emitted a dim light.
Trying hard to penetrate this ink-like darkness,
But it only casts a halo of shadowy light around it in vain,

The towering construction machinery and the mountains of building materials,

They are all shrouded in a veil of mystery, making it difficult to see clearly.

"This is where the problem lies!"

The supervisor's face was as pale as paper.
The beads of sweat on my forehead rolled down my cheeks.

It dripped onto the dusty ground beneath his feet and disappeared in an instant, leaving only a tiny wet mark.

His voice was trembling violently, and he was almost frightened to death by the gloomy atmosphere.
His trembling fingers pointed at the huge and deep pit ahead.

The pit was like the gaping bloody mouth of a giant beast ready to devour its prey, emitting a terrifying aura.

"We were trying to drill down with a drilling machine just now. You don't know, that scene was so scary!"

His eyes were filled with fear and panic, and he spoke very quickly.
I was afraid that if I was a second slower, I would be swallowed by this strange place: as soon as the drilling machine touched the ground,

It started to make a crackling sound.
The sound was sharp and piercing, as if it had hit something extremely hard.

Even the super-powerful earth-drilling machine that claims to be able to easily penetrate three layers of foundation,

There was nothing I could do in front of this thing, I couldn't break through at all.

We didn't give up and tried several times, but each time it was the same.
The machine was almost broken apart, and there was nothing we could do but give up. "

“Later we thought, if the machines don’t work, then we’ll just have to dig it manually.

But who could have imagined that the workers sent down there couldn't dig any deeper than they hoped!

The soil was as hard as a rock and could not be shaken by human power.

It's as if some evil curse or powerful seal has been cast upon it."

As he spoke, he took a few steps back unconsciously.
It seemed as if it wanted to get away from that terrible pit, and its body was shaking slightly with fear.

"Boss Zheng, a new situation has just occurred!"

At this moment, a young worker ran over in a panic.
His face was also pale, his lips were bloodless, and his eyes were full of fear and anxiety.

He staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"What's the new problem?"

Zheng Qifeng frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of impatience and anxiety.
His voice was low and hoarse, which seemed particularly abrupt in the silent night sky.

"Boss Zheng, look!"

The worker carefully took out a small jar from his pocket.

He held the jar in his hands and handed it to Zheng Qifeng, as if the jar contained a bomb that could explode at any time: "This is the soil that was just dug out from below.

No one noticed it at first, but when I looked carefully,
The color of the soil is terrifyingly red, just like blood!"

This worker is quite clever.
I didn't dare to touch the strange-looking soil with my hands.
Instead, he brought some up in jars.

He poured all the soil in the jar onto the ground.

He turned around quickly, picked up a shovel leaning against the wall, and held the handle of the shovel tightly with both hands.
Take a deep breath, as if to give yourself courage,
Then use a shovel to gently flatten the soil.

As he was flapping, something horrifying happened.

The soil seemed to have life.
There was a constant clacking sound.

Then, drops of blood-red liquid splashed out from the soil.
The ground was splashed with blood-red plum blossom marks.
The colors are so bright that they are dazzling, and they look particularly scary in the dim light.

Everyone present saw this scene.
Many people were so frightened that their scalps went numb and their hair stood on end.
An inexplicable fear arose from the bottom of my heart.

Their eyes were wide open, staring at the soil on the ground that was constantly splashing with blood-red liquid.
His face was filled with horror and disbelief.

"Why is there blood in the soil? What is going on?"

Everyone looked at each other and kept muttering to themselves.

A strong smell of blood began to permeate the air.

The smell is pungent and disgusting.

It was as if countless lives were slaughtered on this land, and blood seeped into every inch of soil.

Goto Taiji stood aside, his face so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

There was a hint of anger and irritation in his eyes.

He waved his hand impatiently, with an unquestionable majesty in his gesture.

Immediately, a warrior with a burly figure and muscles as solid as rocks strode forward.

His eyes were cold and determined, and he showed no fear of this strange scene.

He just snatched the shovel from the worker's hand with a quick and decisive move without any delay.

Then he took a deep breath.

He jumped into the bottomless pit and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

This warrior exudes a powerful aura.

That is the martial arts strength formed through long-term and arduous training.

There was an invisible force surging above his hands, swirling around.
Ready to burst out at any time.

This is an ability that ordinary workers do not possess at all and is a symbol of power beyond that of ordinary people.

As he continued to swing the shovel,

The ground that was originally as hard as iron actually began to loosen slowly and was dug up bit by bit.

He threw out shovelful of soil, which fell on the edge of the pit with a dull sound.

However, as the excavation went deeper, even more bizarre and terrifying things happened.

Blood was seen gushing out from the dug-up soil.
It was just a trickle at first.
Slowly, more and more,

It gurgled out like boiling blood.

The blood gave off a pungent fishy smell that made people want to vomit.

The soil became more and more red.

It has completely turned into the color of blood.
It made people feel that what they were digging up was not ordinary soil, but human flesh and blood tissue, emitting a disgusting bloody smell.

This terrifying and bizarre scene frightened many workers to the point of their legs going weak.

They screamed in terror and backed away.

Some workers even collapsed to the ground, staring at the horrific scene with empty eyes.

He was mumbling something to himself, obviously frightened out of his mind.

At this time, as the area was being dug up,

A faint sound of crying came from underground.

The voice is plaintive and desolate,
It was like the cry of wronged souls coming from the depths of hell.

Mixed with the crying were suppressed groans of pain.
It feels like the warrior's digging action has caused great trauma to the land.

It was struggling and wailing in pain.

Even the warrior who had experienced many battles and was known for his bravery and fearlessness,
I was frightened by the sudden cry and the shovel in my hand almost slipped.

He couldn't help but stop and looked up, with a hint of fear and confusion in his eyes.

Looking at Goto Taiji who was standing on the pit.

Goto Taiji's expression became increasingly ugly, and his eyes revealed a hint of determination and ruthlessness.

He waved his hands vigorously again.

Immediately afterwards, several more samurai and ninjas jumped down without hesitation.

The dim lights trembled in the night wind.
The shadows on the construction site were stretched into strange shapes, as if there were countless hidden evil spirits watching in the dark.

The warrior digging the earth shuddered.
He keenly caught the instruction conveyed by Goto Taiji's eyes - let him continue to dig deeper.
The other companions will be on high alert all around, ready to provide support to him at any time.

The warrior took a deep breath, puffing out his chest, like a tiger about to go into battle.

The muscles of his body were as tight as steel, and each muscle contained explosive power.
He raised the heavy shovel in his hand high again.

He dug hard into the blood-red soil that gave off a strange smell.

For a time, the entire construction site was shrouded in an invisible pressure.

All that was left was the dull sound of the shovel cutting into the soil, mixed with the warrior's heavy breathing.
Like a countdown to death.

Suddenly, without warning,

The blood-red soil on the ground seemed to be enraged by an evil force.
It exploded suddenly with a deafening roar.

In an instant, dust and blood mixed with a pungent smell.
It was like a bomb exploding among the crowd, splashing wildly in all directions.

The other samurai and ninjas are indeed elites who have undergone rigorous training.

Their reaction speed is extremely fast.

Almost at the moment when the soil burst, relying on his innate keen intuition and superb skills,

Leaping back quickly like black lightning,

Instantly, they created a safe distance from the dangerous center of the explosion.

Their figures flashed quickly in the night.
Like a ghost, its movements are light and agile, blending into the darkness.

however,
The warrior who was concentrating on digging the soil raised his shovel high at this critical moment.
The body is in a state of extreme stretch.
There was no time to make any evasive moves.

At the moment when the blood-red soil hit us like a rainstorm,
His entire body was enveloped in it, as if he was sucked into a blood-red vortex of nightmare.

As soon as the blood-red soil touched his body,
It was like pouring sulfuric acid on metal, and a violent chemical reaction occurred immediately.

Large clouds of pungent white smoke rose from his body, instantly enveloping him.
It was as if his body was being burned and melted by an evil flame from hell.

The warrior could no longer hold the shovel in his hand, and it fell heavily to the ground with a clang.

In this silent and terrifying atmosphere, the sound seemed particularly harsh.

The warrior's eyes widened in horror, filled with despair and pain.
He subconsciously used his hands to pick away the blood-red soil that had splattered on his body.

However, those strange soils seemed to have evil life and stickiness.
Once it touches human skin, it sticks tightly to it like taking root and sprouting, making it impossible to peel off even a little bit.

Every time I exerted force, it felt like I was tearing my own flesh and blood.
It brought him excruciating pain, and he couldn't help but let out a shrill scream.

The warriors' screams pierced the silence of the night sky.

It echoed over the construction site, making people feel creepy.

He rolled back and forth frantically on the ground, his body twitching and twisting constantly.

Trying to alleviate the pain that was overwhelming me.

As the blood-red soil continued to corrode and invade his body,
The clothes on his body were first corroded quickly, turning into wisps of black ash that floated in the air.

It's like it never existed.

His hair also began to fall out in large flakes.

It was like being torn off by an invisible devil's hands.

The scalp underneath was exposed, which had been corroded and was bleeding.

In just a moment,

This once strong, brave and majestic warrior turned into a "meat man" covered in blood red.

His body was covered with hideous wounds and blisters.
The muscles were twisted and deformed due to extreme pain, presenting a strange and terrifying posture.

Finally, he lay motionless on the ground, his eyes wide open, staring blankly at the night sky, without even a sign of breathing. His miserable state was as if a cruel demon had peeled off his entire body of skin.

All that was left was a pile of bloody, disgusting flesh.

It exudes a strong smell of blood, which makes people unable to look directly at it.

His shrill screams also stopped abruptly as his life faded away, leaving only a deathly silence.

It seemed as if the whole world was shocked by this horrifying scene and fell into endless silence and darkness.

The workers around witnessed this horrific scene and were terrified out of their wits.

Their faces were as pale as paper, their legs were weak and they could barely stand.

At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds - to escape from this terrible place.

There was no need for anyone to urge them, as everyone seemed to have lost their souls.
He threw away the tools in his hands frantically and ran away desperately.

They left their homes and came to this strange and dangerous foreign land.
Just to work and earn money to support my family who are thousands of miles away.

They never thought that they would be involved in such a terrible nightmare.

With that meager salary, they are not willing to risk their lives here.

In their opinion, this construction site does not belong to them.
And since those people from the White and Red Empire claim to have masters,
Then this dangerous situation should naturally be resolved by them.
It would never be the turn of these unarmed workers who just want to return home safely.

In just a few minutes, the workers ran away like frightened birds and animals.

Disappeared in the darkness of night,

All that was left was an empty construction site and the smell of fear in the air.

In response, Goto Taiji and Zheng Qifeng did not stop it.

They knew that these workers would not be able to play any substantial role if they stayed here.

Instead, it might become a burden and disrupt their plans.

Letting them leave would make the situation simpler and easier to control.

Goto Taiji stood at the edge of the pit with a serious look on his face.
His eyes were fixed on the warrior who had turned into a bloody flesh man at the bottom of the pit.

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed a complex emotion - shock, anger,
There is also a subtle hint of fear.

After a moment of silence, he turned his head and looked at a ninja next to him who had a sturdy figure and cold eyes.
The voice was low and hoarse, "Masao Inada, go down and check.
See if he still has any life waves."

Masao Inada is a mysterious ninja wearing a tight black nightgown.
Standing there quietly, with an upright and agile posture, it is like a black panther hidden in the night sky.

He exuded a cold and alert aura.

His eyes are like cold stars, deep and sharp.
He is always alert to every move around him, which is an instinct given to him by years of rigorous training.

Goto Taiji's eyes swept through the samurai and ninjas.

Finally, it fell on Masao Inada, and his eyes revealed a hint of unquestionable majesty.

The reason why I mentioned Masao Inada's name is,

Let him go deep into the bottom of the pit full of unknown dangers,

It is precisely because of the most praised characteristic of the ninja clan - lightning speed.

In this crisis-ridden, life-or-death situation,

If you really encounter some kind of fatal crisis beyond imagination,
With Inada Masao's ghostly agility and lightning-fast reaction speed,

Compared to those warriors who are good at close combat,
He might be more likely to find a glimmer of hope in the desperate situation and escape from the danger that is like the devil's mouth.

Masao Inada was suddenly called.

An imperceptible hint of hesitation flashed across his face.

His brows furrowed slightly.

His eyes revealed a hint of fear of the unknown darkness and an instinctive resistance to this dangerous mission.

After all, the warrior just now was eroded by the blood-red soil.
From vigorous life to horrible death,
The horrific scene was like a deep scar, deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.
It made him feel a chill deep in his heart.

However, due to the strict ninja discipline and absolute obedience to orders from superiors over the years,

Like two invisible ropes, tightly binding him.

After a brief inner struggle, he gritted his teeth and

There was a flash of determination in his eyes, and he obeyed the order resolutely.

I saw him take a deep breath, and his chest swelled slightly, as if he was accumulating all his strength.

Then, his legs slightly bent, like a fully drawn bow.
The next second, he jumped down from the edge of the pit like a flash of black lightning.

During that brief descent,

His eyes were fixed on the terrifying body at the bottom of the pit that had turned into a blood-red flesh man.

His eyes were full of vigilance and tension.

In the blink of an eye, Masao Inada landed lightly at the bottom of the pit.

His footsteps fell silently, like a falling leaf.

Showing his superb ninja skills.

He carefully approached the lifeless body of the warrior.
Every step was taken with extreme caution.

It was as if the ground beneath my feet was a minefield covered with spikes.

The slightest carelessness can lead to fatal danger.

His heartbeat accelerated rapidly, threatening to burst through his chest.
Fine beads of sweat also seeped out of his forehead, flickering faintly in the dim light.

When he finally reached the warrior, he slowly stretched out his right hand.
His arms were trembling slightly, but the trembling was not due to fear, but an instinctive reaction to unknown danger.

He slowly moved his finger towards the dead warrior's nose.
Trying to find that faint breath that might exist,

Although he knew in his heart that in this extremely strange situation,

The possibility of this is very small.
But any sign of life may hide great danger or opportunity.
He didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.

However, just as his fingers touched the tip of the warrior's nose,
It was as if some evil mechanism had been triggered.
The horrifying scene happened without any warning.

The warrior who was originally judged to be dead and turned into a blood-red flesh man,
He suddenly opened his eyes, but there was no trace of life in them.

There was only endless emptiness and strange light, as if it was a gaze from the abyss of hell.

His mouth opened at an extremely fast speed, so fast that people couldn't react in time.

In the dark mouth,
A row of sharp teeth covered with blood and minced meat flashed a ferocious cold light in the dim light.
With one bite, he bit off Masao Inada's defenseless finger.

"what!"

A shrill scream came out of Inada Masao's mouth.

The sound cut through the silent night sky and echoed in the empty pit, making people shudder.

But this was just the beginning of the nightmare.

Before he could recover from the severe pain of having his finger bitten off,

The warrior stretched out his hands with lightning speed, and his hands were like two steel clamps.
She gripped his arm tightly.

Inada Masao widened his eyes in horror, his eyes filled with despair and struggle.
He twisted his body desperately, using all his strength to try to break free from the devil-like restraints.
But the warrior's hands seemed to be blessed by some mysterious power.
Without moving an inch, he would be dragged into the endless abyss of darkness.

Just then, something even more terrifying happened.

The blood-red soil that was originally scattered on the ground and seemed lifeless,

It was suddenly injected with an evil soul and began to slowly crawl under his feet.

They are like a group of awakened evil ghosts.
It slowly spread towards Inada Masao's body, faster and faster, like a surging tide.
Unstoppable.

In just a few seconds, it quickly climbed up his legs.
And it continued to climb upwards, trying to wrap him entirely in this blood-red cage of terror.

Inada Masao was filled with despair and fear.

His eyes revealed a deep fear of death and a sense of powerlessness against this strange force.

I shouted with all my strength, my voice became sharp and hoarse because of fear.
It looks particularly miserable in this empty pit.

He twisted his body desperately.

Trying to shake off the warrior's hands and the blood-red soil that was spreading all over his body,

Every struggle was like a final fight with death, but it was all in vain.

The samurai stared at Masao Inada, his eyes full of weirdness and madness.

The corner of his mouth was covered with blood from Inada Masao's finger, and the severed finger was still in his mouth.

As he chewed,
The sound of bones being crushed and flesh being torn was clearly heard by Masao Inada, who was closest to him.

The sound seemed like a curse from hell, and each blow was like a sharp dagger.

It stabbed his heart so hard that his soul trembled.

Even as a well-trained ninja who has experienced countless life and death tests,
In the face of this unprecedented horror scene, he couldn't help but feel his soul was surging.
All the blood in my body seemed to freeze, and the chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

When the blood-red soil spread over Inada Masao's legs,

He was horrified to find that his legs had suddenly lost sensation.
They have been torn from their bodies by some evil force,
This feeling was so strange and unfamiliar that it filled his heart with helplessness and despair.

At this time, Inada Masao was 100% sure in his heart.
This blood-red soil must be inextricably linked to some evil, powerful and strange evil spirit.

An inseparable connection, otherwise it would never be so terrifying and weird.

The whole terrible scene developed very quickly.

In just twenty or thirty seconds,
Masao Inada, who was struggling violently and screaming for help,
He was frozen in place by this terrifying force.

His body stopped moving, his eyes were filled with fear and despair.

The breath of life also completely disappeared at this moment, and there was no longer any life fluctuation.
It was as if the soul was instantly sucked away by this evil force, leaving only an empty shell.

Soon, the blood-red soil covered Masao Inada's entire body.

His body gradually changed, becoming exactly the same as the blood-red soil around him.
As if it had been reshaped by this evil land with its blood-red soil,
It turned into a creepy blood-red "mud man".

The remaining samurai and ninjas standing on the edge of the pit,

After witnessing this horrific and cruel scene, everyone was terrified and stunned.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear and shock.

Just now, they had thought about going down to reinforce.

But the scene was too weird and scary.
Make each of them feel timid.

No one wants to fall into that nightmare-like desperate situation.

Become the next victim to be ruthlessly swallowed by the blood-red soil.

After all, the power displayed by the blood-red soil on the ground is too strange and powerful.
Once touched,
He was trapped in an inescapable death spiral.

No one knows what even more terrible thing will happen next.

However, when everyone was still immersed in fear and unable to extricate themselves,
Something even more frightening happened.

Inada Masao, who had turned into a blood-red "mud man", and the first dead samurai,

He actually stood up from the ground slowly.

Their movements were stiff and slow, as if they were puppets controlled by some evil force.
It exudes a suffocating smell of death.

Their eyes stared blankly ahead.

The blood-red soil on his body was still dripping.
Gathered into blood-red puddles on the ground,
Like blood flowing from hell,

This already eerie and terrifying pit becomes even more like hell on earth.
