Cannibalism

"My child... let mother hug you."

Li Tick touched the ghost baby's chubby face with loving eyes, put it in the crook of his arm and shook it gently.The hand that patted the child was so loving and peaceful, as if by doing so, it could really fall asleep.

The ghost baby put away its ghostly face, put its two fists next to its mouth, and closed its fingers like a human baby, whimpering and whimpering with joy.

Xie Sheng didn't dare to make too much noise to disturb more ghosts, he said softly: "Li Tick's consciousness is new, his will is unstable, and he is easy to be possessed by ghosts, and he doesn't have a sachet for exorcising ghosts, ghosts are the easiest to find on him."

Yuan Shiren looked at Li Ting's weird movements, and asked, "How can I force the ghost out of his body?"

And Run Yuan over there suddenly felt dizzy, bent down, and hugged his forehead in discomfort: "I, I can't stand."

"Senior brother?!" Run Shen hurriedly grabbed Run Yuan's arm, but he felt his bones go limp, and almost fell. He squatted on the ground, his white eyes began to glance upwards, his mandibles frequently loosened and clenched, and his whole body trembled, as if Enduring some piercing pain.

"Not good!" Yong Chuan, who was closest, hurried to the two of them, "Hold on! Don't be caught by a female ghost, I'll help you."

It's a pity that it was too late, the two of Runyuan and Runshen stopped struggling, and all the black eyes turned up, leaving only a pair of white eyes without pupils.

"Child... where are you..."

"I can finally hug you—"

They also became the mothers of ghost babies like Li Tickle, walked to the river without stopping, each dragged out a ghost baby, imitated Li Tickle's movements, sat on the bank, and stroked the ghost baby's body .

"Hey, mother is here..."

"Don't cry, don't cry."

Xie Nan threw out the folding fan, and the handles of the fan hit the three people's celestial caps one after another, trying to blast out the possessed ghosts.But after the three were beaten, they remained indifferent and continued to play the role of female ghost.

"The ghost aura is thick here, and the ordinary methods of exorcising ghosts outside are useless."

Xie Sheng's phantom tiger claws soared into the air, and quickly rushed towards the three possessed people. Suddenly, there was a shock from the center of the island, and suddenly it hit the ground——

All the lights in everyone's hands were extinguished.

The Phantom Tiger Claw is the weakest when the light is scarce. Without vision, not only can't catch anything, but the three people are also completely gone, so they can't be found.

Yuan Shiren caressed the palm of his hand, and said in surprise: "It turns out that the fire did not go out, but the resentment wrapped the fire layer by layer. These resentments are muddy and sticky, and the light cannot pass through."

Today's Doll Island is darker than when everyone first landed on the island. You can't see your fingers, and being able to hear your companion's voice is the only luxury of all senses.

Yong Chuan anxiously said: "Oops, what should I do?"

"what--"

Only four people left with clear consciousness, and the other three all heard Yong Chuan cry out in pain.

Something crashed in the direction of the iron-eating beast.

"Yong Chuan!" Xie Nan ran to Yong Chuan's position, shouting as he ran, "How are you doing?!"

"I can't hold it anymore, I, my back is so cold..."

The three of them flew to Yong Chuan in the dark following the sound, and grabbed his body.

"Yong Chuan?" Yuan Shiren felt that something was wrong with his hand, "Is it you?"

The thing he was grabbing opened its mouth and spat an icy breath into his face.

"My child—you are so poor."

Tobimuro Jin let go of his hand immediately, and his hairs stood up——

It turned out that what he touched was the ghost baby's mouth that stretched to the ears, and it seemed that he had touched the toothless gums.

The one standing in front of him was not Yong Chuan at all.It was Li Tiny's voice, but he clearly remembered that Yong Chuan was still a few feet away from Li Tiny just now.

How could he recognize the wrong voice?

At this moment, Xie Sheng said from behind him: "Aren, you said that you hid Yong Chuan in the grass over there? Is he all right? Take me to have a look."

Ren Shiyuan was in a bad mood, and turned around quickly.

Xie Sheng didn't know who he was talking to.

"Don't go!" The messy footsteps over there made Yuanshiren confused, and there seemed to be many people around him, Yuanshiren shouted anxiously, "Xie Sheng, I'm here!"

Xie Sheng didn't respond, he should have walked away.

"Yong Chuan, are you better?" The sound of treading water came from Xie Nan's direction, "Did you fall into the river? I'll save you."

It seems that this time it is Xie Nan's turn to be deceived.Yuan Shiren hurriedly shouted towards the river: "Xie Nan, don't go in!! Yong Chuan is not in the river."

Xie Sheng no longer knew where he had gone, and it was imminent to rescue Xie Nan.That river is full of ghost babies who won't let go when they cling to people. Once they slip into it, they may never be rescued again.

He strode towards the direction of Xie Nan to the river, but hit a tall stone tablet with a "bang".There is only one stone tablet on the shore that is as tall as a person-the epitaph that says the origin of Doll Island.

And when he kicked something, a ray of light flashed in such a short moment.Tobishi Jin didn't have time to care what it was, so he could only pick it up and continue to fly towards Xie Nan.

Xie Nan's legs fiddled with water: "I'm here to save you, Yong Chuan."

The river bank was still dark, and it didn't get any better because it was far away from the cemetery.

Yuan Shiren flew to Xie Nan's position, reached out to fish, but found nothing.He took half a step back and shook his hands like a snake.

The second time I touched the ghost baby's mouth, my reaction was faster than the first time.

There is no Xie Nan here at all.He was deceived by the female ghosts around him again.

He flew up, and suddenly felt a strange feeling under his body.

Something heavy was dangling back and forth under his feet.

"Giggle..."

"Hehehe..."

Two familiar laughter sounded from the bottom of his feet.

Even though he couldn't see clearly, he also knew that the two ghost babies were stuck to the sole of one of his shoes and refused to let go.They laughed incessantly, as if grabbing the soles of his feet was something to be proud of.

He swung the thing he had just picked up in front of the tombstone to his feet, directly cutting off the palms of the two ghost babies.

This time the ghost baby failed to fall into the river safely.They fell on the shore.

He heard Runyuan's voice: "Oh, my poor child."

Footsteps came and went.

"Mother is here to find you..."

Hearing those words, Hitoshi Tobiro shivered down his spine.

It was stuck to his back, so close at hand.

This voice did not belong to any of them. She was very old and must have been a weather-beaten old woman during her lifetime.

"Hee...Little brother, let me get on your body."

Snake-like crawling things burrowed into his skin and meridians.Tobimuro Jin twisted his neck, feeling an extremely itchy back.He couldn't see it, so he stretched his hand back and touched it, only to encounter the air like a cool mist.

"Little brother, relax. Go to sleep. When you fall asleep, you don't have to worry about the troubles of the world anymore. Little brother, what can you do if you become a god? You can't even experience the ordinary life in life; You have suffered in obscurity for those grotesques that are not in your life. From now on, no one in the world will remember you. Little brother, don’t be obsessed with your obsession.” The old woman’s voice was completely inconsistent with the old woman’s The speed of his speech was extremely fast, and his breath did not show the solemnity of being an old man at all.

"Give me your body and let me see what my child has grown into."

——An old lunatic just like that.

Tobishiren was dizzy for a while, he knew that his consciousness was slowly relaxing under the invasion of ghosts.He half-kneeled on the ground, and stood on the ground with the box he picked up, barely supporting his body.

"Little brother...no one will remember you." The old woman's tone became more and more determined, "Leave it to me..."

In an instant, Toshiro Jin's legs broke into the ground and took root, and the twisted roots meandered deep into the ground. His hands and body also turned into vines with thorns and barbs, one by one. Circling and climbing away.Whenever passing by a tombstone, these vines will wrap around a circle, and when passing by the epitaph, they will wind back and forth several times.After climbing to the riverside, the vines stopped moving forward. They formed a wall along the riverside, completely blocking the river water and the ghost baby from the island.

The vines climbing to the other side go to the area where green trees and grass are located, where there are also a few manjusawa growing in the depths.They welcomed the arrival of the cannibal flower vine very much, and contributed the nutrients of their roots.

The flower vines quickly climbed onto them, and they were so close to each other that they shared weal and woe.

This is the instinct of the man-eating flower god to protect himself when he is in extreme danger—the Ruicaoxi Formation, which also appeared in Baiwo Mountain at that time, can be integrated with all the surrounding flowers and plants, but he himself cannot move.

Rumbling--

A thunderbolt fell from the sky, hitting the position behind Tobishi Jin.

"Ah!" The old female ghost screamed heart-piercingly, and then disappeared.

Searching along the vines, Tobishi Jin already knew where his companion was.But the situation was very bad: he could feel that everyone except him was possessed by ghosts, and among them Xie Sheng was still rolling his eyes in a half-demon half-ghost state.Probably because his willpower is stronger than others, the female ghost has not yet succeeded.

Yuanshiren pulled the cane wrapped around Xie Sheng's body abruptly, and Xie Sheng slammed it on Yuanshiren's side.

The surrounding environment was harsh, which caused Hitoshi Tobishi to be too anxious and couldn't control his strength for a while.

Lightning and thunder flashed overhead, and a few moments of dazzling glare fell on the dark and chaotic island.

I don't know whether it was because of being smashed or because of the thunder and lightning, but the female ghost who was half possessed by Xie Sheng stopped pestering Xie Sheng at this moment and disappeared directly.

Xie Sheng finally woke up slowly. He felt as if his body was falling apart, and he held his buttocks and yelled: "Ah, it hurts so much."

He opened his eyes, just in time to catch another flash of lightning passing behind Jin Tobishiro.Xie Sheng only had time to see Yuanshiren's body stuck in the mud, revealing a small white face, and the lightning bolt disappeared.

Xie Sheng hurriedly rushed forward, the piranha's barb pierced his chest: "Aren! How did you become like this?"

The two fell into the darkness again, and everything around them was chaotic and indistinct.

Every thunder and lightning requires a lot of spiritual power. This is a tactic used by the Man-eating Flower God to intimidate the enemy when protecting himself. It cannot be used all the time, otherwise the spiritual power will be exhausted, and the Ruichoxi Formation will disappear.

Yuan Shiren has gradually realized that the thing he picked up before is Run Yuan's Hua Nong sword box.He opened the sword case, and saw the scabbard covering the sword body, and the orb used to suppress the sword on the scabbard was shining brightly.

It actually shone on this unlit ghost island!

Xie Sheng took out the scabbard and flew high into the sky: "Aren, strike lightning again, let me try to see if this bead is useful!"

Tobishi Jin hesitated a little: "But my lightning is very dangerous, I'm afraid—"

"What are you afraid of? No matter how bad you are, the whole army will be wiped out. When your spiritual power is exhausted, all of us will die here." Xie Sheng jumped higher and higher, and his voice became empty and distant, "Come on! Lightning."

Tobishiren nodded, rushed to open all the flower vines in one go, and struck a purple lightning bolt above Xie Sheng.

Xie Sheng quickly threw the scabbard upwards, and it was about to explode with the dazzling lightning. With the resentment layer above Xie Sheng's head as the center, a golden light like a firework surged to the surroundings, and this golden light spread all the way to the distant black giant egg. The edge, and finally sprinkled on the river surface.

The resentment accumulated around the tombstone also dissipated, and those resentful ghosts were separated from everyone in an instant.The few people who were possessed by ghosts woke up as if they had just woken up from a dream, and opened their eyes in confusion.

"What happened?" The first thing Run Yuan saw was the ghost baby in his arms, he was frightened half to death, and wanted to raise his hand to throw it out, but found that his body was entangled in something.

The cane looked very familiar to him.

Li Tick looked at the ghost baby in his arms, his eyes widened, and he screamed in horror: "Ahh!! Help!"

"Flower God?" Xie Nan was startled when he saw this situation, "Why did you entangle me?!"

Yong Chuan opened his eyes and found that the baby in his arms was giggling. Although he had already seen it, he was still panicked.

The companion who just woke up saw the little flower god who was stuck in the soil through the messy tombstones.He had lost his human form and looked wrinkled, leaving only a familiar face for them.And those ubiquitous twigs and flower vines waving on the ground, in the air, and hovering around them, if you scratch the wrinkled skin a little, you will find that it is full of bright red flesh and blood.

The vines are flying with claws and claws, rolling wantonly on the island of dolls. Dense barbs grow on the top of the vines, shining with sharp luster-they feel unprecedented fear.

Seeing that everyone had recovered, Yuanshiren stretched out a few more branches, and mercilessly pulled off the ghost dolls stuck to them.The rattan swept away the ghost baby, came to the river on the bank, snapped, and broke by itself.

The flower vines and ghost dolls fell into the river together.The ghost dolls never floated again.

The severed branches were very neatly cut, and they were clearly connected to the body, and Toshirojin didn't seem to be in pain at all.He quickly put away all the flower branches crawling on the island, got up from the soil, and patted the clothes on his body.

There are many branches, and the movement of putting away the flower stems is naturally very loud. The island was suddenly filled with yellow dust, sweeping up a burst of choking soil.

Runyuan and Runshen coughed.

From nowhere, Li Ting conjured up a flower umbrella to cover his face, looking extremely weak.After finally cultivating into an iron-blooded tough guy, he was possessed by a ghost once and beaten back to his original shape.

Xie Sheng landed from the sky and asked, "Are you all better? Thanks to the God of Flowers for saving you, otherwise you would all die here."

Yong Chuan still hadn't recovered from the shock. He stood on the spot and said with emotion alone: ​​"I've been hearing from you before that the flower gods who set up formations outside Lu's Village are very powerful. Today, it's so spectacular... It's so spectacular it scares me."

Tobishi Jin is very humble: "This is what I should do. I am a god, so I should do more."

Everyone gathered together again.

Run Shen asked suspiciously: "What happened just now? I don't remember anything before the God of Flowers entangled me. My mind is like a mess."

Li Tiny nodded: "Me too. I forgot what I did after reading the epitaph. How about you?"

Run Yuan squatted on the ground, and suddenly found a piece of scorched black scrap iron. He recognized it at a glance as the scabbard of his Hua Nong sword. The three-color orb on the scabbard had been shattered, completely losing its previous brilliance.

He swallowed his saliva in disbelief, his nails turned pale with fright: "My scabbard..."

Xie Sheng handed him the sword case, and said apologetically, "It's all my fault. We also went to the doctor purely for the disease. It was your scabbard that saved everyone present."

Run Yuan's pale energy immediately stained his cheeks from his fingertips: "It's over, it's over, the snakeskin bag hasn't been found yet, and the most important orb is broken again, Master will definitely punish me."

Runshen quickly knelt down to appease his senior brother: "Don't be afraid, senior brother, a scabbard can exchange so many lives, master will definitely not blame you."

In fact, Run Yuan also understood this truth in his heart.But the disciples of the Leshan School have only one scabbard in their life, and no one has ever used a second scabbard from entering the school to ascension.He doesn't want to be an exception.

Hitoshi Toshiro said with a serious expression: "I'll explain what happened when you were possessed by ghosts later. When my flower vines penetrated the grass before, I found a place. There are strange things there. Follow me quickly." Come."

Without hesitation, Xie Sheng walked directly beside Yuanshiren.Xie Nan and Yong Chuan hesitated, but they still followed closely.

Although the remaining three people didn't want to go because they were afraid, they had very little spiritual power, and it was more dangerous to stay where they were, so they had no other choice but to follow together.

Jin Shi led them through the grass and came to a clearing. The edge of the clearing was a steep cliff, bottomless.They walked along the cliff for a while and found a stone tablet.

There are several manjusawa in full bloom beside the stele.

This stone tablet has the same shape as the epitaph on the shore, and a few lines of text are also engraved on the tablet for explanation.

The general idea is as follows: Wawa Island has a strange natural terrain, and there are cliffs on the island, which are widely spread as an unknown place.Here the middle is low and the outside is high, hollow and the outside is solid.After the Luochi women gave birth to their babies, their husbands relaxed their guard and no longer imprisoned them at home.They came to the island one after another, abandoned the baby on the bank of the river, and then jumped off the cliff.None survived.

"All of them are strong women." Yong Chuan sighed and shook his head, "Sure enough, you can't easily accept your fate because of your resolute temperament."

"Low in the middle and high in the outside, solid in the hollow outside..." Xie Nan narrowed his eyes, observed the surrounding terrain, and suddenly realized, "Wawa Island is located in the southern part of China, surrounded by water, and it is an extremely shady place, and there are also low-lying terrain here. In the hinterland, the water dominates the outside, the soil dominates the inside, and the mountains and rocks are stubborn, which may be a great danger."

"If it's a cemetery, then Yin and Yang are separated, and water and land are separated." Xie Sheng continued, "It's no wonder that this female ghost has to attach to us to touch those ghost babies in the water, because even if their souls walk into the water, they will not be able to touch them." I can't touch my own child."

Li Ting couldn't understand: "Since they were so miserable in life, why didn't they go to reincarnation after death?"

Yuanshi Ren said: "I guess it's because they have resentment in their hearts, and the terrain and feng shui here are easy to gather ghosts, and over time it will form a ghost field that sweeps the souls. Now, they can't escape, and they will stay forever." it's here."

Even if there is no Doll Island incident, there will be similar ghost farms due to other miscellaneous things in the future. No wonder even the underworld doesn't want to take care of it.Anyway, this island is located in a remote place, and there are almost no people living around it, unless some fools force their way.

"Then, wouldn't these dead mothers never be able to touch their children anymore? They are close at hand, but they can't touch them." Run Yuan hugged the scorched scabbard, his eyes were slightly moist, "Even if you walk into the water, You can't even touch your own flesh and blood."

Everyone was silent.

Tobishi Jin looked out of the grass.It was clear that there was no wind, but those shade-loving grass and wooden doors were rustling and trembling.

Outside the grass, on the bank of the river.

The babies entwined with flower vines slowly sank to the bottom of the water, and the blood gushing out from the cut made them unable to move.

They can no longer float from the bottom of the river.

At the bottom of the gray water, a black mist surrounded them and flowed over their bodies.

They realized that it was mother's soul.

The river water is slippery, probably because of the mother's touch.

The female ghosts were very anxious, they had nothing to do with the fall, they could only watch the children slowly disappear under the dip of the divine blood.

One of the babies had its arms burned by the blood of the gods. It looked at the black mist and suddenly smiled. Its eyes were pure and clear without any impurities.

Rarely did it not open its terrible cracking mouth, but let out a cry of lying in its mother's arms.
