Ghost Breath

The two of them quickly retreated, turned around, and ran towards the stone room. Almost at the same time, the strange insects stirred, and if the two of them were to hesitate any longer, they would be completely surrounded.

However, the stone room in front of them was also a dead end, and no matter what, they would not be able to escape from this hole. Zhou Yang felt that they were currently in a life or death struggle. After a while, they returned to the pile of corpses. Behind them, the weirdos were still chasing them, looking like countless stars in the night sky.

Zhou Yang then shone his torch everywhere again, confirming that this was a dead end, they were forced to the edge of the cliff. Looking at the strange insects that were chasing him, Zhou Yang clenched his teeth and pulled Zheng Huili along to the corpses. Zhou Yang did not know why he did this, maybe it was some kind of subconscious action.

When the two of them stood on top of the carrion-like pile of corpses, the strange insects just happened to be in front of them. Zhou Yang was already prepared to give up, but he pointed at a certain spot on the pile of corpses and said, "Look … "Look …" Zhou Yang looked over quickly and saw that there was a gap between the corpses. It could even be considered a "corpse pit".

Zhou Yang did not have time to think about it, and immediately pulled Zheng Huili along with him and jumped into the corpse pit, and threw the torch towards the strange insects.

Zhou Yang's method was very effective, because no matter how many strange insects there were, they would not be able to break through the two corpses.

The two of them hid inside the corpse pit, closely following the rotting corpses that were riddled with holes. They were so nervous that they didn't even dare to breathe. They could feel the movement above them, like slithering snakes that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Both of them knew that even though they had escaped this calamity, the situation was still not good. The corpse pit only delayed them for a little while, and in the end, it was impossible to hide forever. Besides, the inside of the pit was small, hot, humid, and surrounded by various rotten corpses. Just the smell of the corpses' stench was enough to make one wish they were dead.

Zhou Yang guessed that those eyes were probably the result of the Flower Snake Village being corroded, but it seemed like they could not move the corpses, as it was obvious that the Toad Man had piled up the corpses. The more likely scenario was that Toad Man had built this underground cave, and even brought in a large amount of corpses, but they were all taken over by the Eyeball Monster Worms. As a result, Toad Man was afraid of the underground cave, and did not dare enter the cave, thus this cave became the nest of the Eyeball Monster Worms.

Zhou Yang sighed in his heart, he was truly unable to judge how many corrosive monsters were still roaming around outside. In a daze, he remembered Qiao Mu, and if they were unable to contact him, Qiao Mu would definitely rush over to the Flower Snake Village personally. What was waiting for Qiao Mu for?

On the other hand, after Qiao Mu, Yang Jie, Song Zhengming, and Su Qin searched by the river, they returned to the center of the Flower Snake Village. In this period of time, they had seen the stone bridge that led to the lakeside. Qiao Mu thought that the most important task now was to find Zhou Yang and the others, and then think of a way to go to Small Snake Island.

At this time of the night, Qiao Mu took out two powerful light hand torches from his backpack. He and Song Zhengming each held one of them in charge of lighting up.

Unknowingly, they arrived in front of a house whose walls had been painted black. The house seemed especially depressing. When they looked through the window, they could see several blood-red pieces of clothing.

"Some of them are hanging in here... Is it a shroud? " Yang Jie looked around and asked.

"Yes, it's a birthday shop." Su Qin remembered, this was the longevity clothing store that Sun Erke had stolen from back then. The birthday shop owner was very cunning and wretched. It was him who had rowed away the wooden boat on his own accord at Small Snake Island.

"Let's go in and take a look." Song Zhengming suggested.

Thus, the four of them entered the birthday shop.

In fact, it was Su Qin's first time coming here. She realized that the interior of the shop was very crowded and there was even a large table.

Song Zhengming walked in front of the row of birthday clothes and casually shone his light on it. He shook his head and said: "Nothing special.

"No, after the boss ran away, I never saw him again." Su Qin said.

"Oh …" And that fool, he stole the birthday suit just for a few children to wear? "

"That's right. He's called Egg. He's a good person. My sister and I were saved by him." What Su Qin said was sincere, she had indeed always been very grateful to Sun Erke, and wanted to see him again. However, the sudden change in Flower Snake Village made it difficult for her to figure out Sun Erke's fate.

What was the goose egg doing now? Is he all right? Su Qin thought.

"Let's go." Song Zhengming moved his feet and was about to leave, but suddenly, Su Qin saw the blood colored longevity cloth behind Song Zhengming move slightly, she suspected that she was seeing things, and took a few steps forward, only to realize that there was a white cloth covering the head of the red longevity cloth, and something seemed to be trembling behind the white cloth.

"What are you looking at?" Song Zhengming thought that Su Qin was looking at him and had a face full of astonishment.

"Behind you …" Su Qin pointed with her finger, but before she could finish speaking, the white cloth was suddenly lifted, revealing a huge, extremely ugly, fat, and strange face full of pimples. On the head of the strange face, was a dark gray Duke Ji hat.

Just as Su Qin wanted to shout out, she saw the strange person take a step forward. Song Zhengming, as well as Qiao Mu and Yang Jie, who were standing in front of the door, felt something strange. Song Zhengming immediately turned his head, only to see that the strange person had grabbed her neck, and a thin and long black tongue was spitting out from the strange person's mouth.

Yang Jie's face changed, she was so shocked that she started shouting, but Su Qin had already prepared herself mentally. She saw that Song Zhengming was being controlled by the strange person, so she grabbed a teapot and threw it towards the strange person's head.

At the same time, Song Zhengming struggled desperately. When the strange person's head was hit by the teapot, the strange person relaxed a little and retracted his tongue. Song Zhengming found an opening and turned his head to kick at the weirdo's stomach. Unexpectedly, the weirdo's stomach was as flexible as a balloon, and Song Zhengming himself bumped into the table.

The weirdo adjusted his posture, baring his fangs and brandishing his claws at him again, but the target this time was Su Qin. Su Qin retreated in fright, and just as the strange person leaped up, stabbed his wooden sword towards the back of the strange person's neck, and a ball of black and green blood spurted out like a spring, almost splashing onto his face.

After a few breaths of time, the four looked at the strange man and saw that he had collapsed on the ground, on the verge of death.

"What is this?" Song Zhengming gasped for breath and asked.

Yang Jie noticed that there was a wound near Song Zhengming's collarbone. It should have been torn when he was fighting with the strange person earlier.

"I'm not too sure either. This monster looks like a toad. Little sister, have you seen it before?" Qiao Mu asked Su Qin.

Su Qin shook her head. She indeed did not know about the people who had mutated into Toad Man, but the dark gray Chieftain hat on Toad Man's head looked a little familiar to her.

"It's the suspender shop owner!"

Su Qin finally remembered that the longevity clothing store owner who was afraid of death was wearing this hat.

"The suspense shop owner …" Is that all? " Yang Jie pointed to Toad Man on the ground and asked in disbelief.

"No!" At that time, he was still a very skinny old man, but now … Changed. I also guessed by his hat and his shroud. " Su Qin replied.

Su Qin thought again: It looks like what this old man is concerned about is his birthday suit, she already turned into a monster and is still wearing it.

The four of them came out of the suspense shop, still fearful of what had just happened. At this time, the wound on Song Zhengming's collarbone was slowly bleeding. Su Qin took out a sterile towel and helped him wipe it again and again.

"Looks like there's a big problem with this village." Song Zhengming sighed.

Yang Jie stood in front of the door and took a few pictures of the Toad Man with his phone, then turned his head and said: "I think... The villagers should have all mutated after this sister left. "Oh yeah, little sister, didn't you say that when you escaped, the villagers were already acting a little strange?"

"Hm!" They like to scratch around with their fingernails, and they all turn into... "Yes, just like this frog monster!" Su Qin said.

"Was it because of the corrosion from the general's corpse on the Small Snake Island?" Qiao Mu asked.

"I guess so." Su Qin said.

"No matter what, this is bound to be explosive news." Yang Jie muttered to herself.

Qiao Mu was increasingly worried about the safety of Zhou Yang and the rest. He felt that Zhou Yang and the rest might have met with something even more serious than what he had imagined.

"Let's go, we have to find Zhou Yang and the others quickly." Qiao Mu moved, ready to leave.

However, at this time, sounds of movement suddenly came from all around them. Following that, under the light of the electric light, several Toad Man appeared from the darkness and crawled towards them.

The four men's faces changed as they retreated. Qiao Mu held his sabre as he stood at the very front. When the Toad Man s gradually approached, Qiao Mu turned around and saw a house. In front of the house was a vegetable patch separated by a fence, and in the middle was a very narrow stone path that led directly to the door. There was another door at the back of the house. If he could escape into the house and escape through the back door, he should be able to escape Toad Man.

Having made up his mind, Qiao Mu looked at the house and said softly, "You two, run with me. Don't look back."

Without waiting for the other three to respond, Qiao Mu immediately shouted "Run!" and ran towards the small path in front of the house. The other three understood what he meant and followed closely behind him. Toad Man was immediately agitated, trying his best to crawl and catch up, but he was blocked by a fence. After struggling for a long time, he finally managed to push down the fence.

After getting rid of the Toad Man, they rushed all the way to the river side. Qiao Mu thought that the Toad Man would no longer chase them, so he signalled for them to stop and said: "It seems that night comes and all kinds of monsters will come out. Superintendent Song, how about we request for help? Something must have happened to some of us, and you're hurt. "

Qiao Mu's words reminded Song Zhengming, who quickly took out his phone and made a call to the police station.

"Hello, is this Little Zhou? I, Deputy Director Song! " Song Zhengming's tone was extremely urgent.

"Oh, Superintendent Song, what's the matter?" The officer called Little Zhou replied.

I'm in the Flower Snake Village right now, and I'm with a few friends. We're in big trouble right now, so bring a group of people over right now, the more the better. Also, go to the gun room, and bring those guys along!

"What are you doing, Superintendent Song? Are you going to fight? Is it that serious? " Little Zhou asked, puzzled.

"It's more serious than you think! Oh yeah, other than bringing some people over, you can contact Superintendent Zhang next, and have him inform our superiors that we are in danger at Flower Snake Village, and ask for more people to support us.

"Understood, understood. What exactly is going on? "

"You'll know once you come over. I can't explain it to you on the phone, hurry!"

After he finished speaking, Song Zhengming hung up the phone and then asked Qiao Mu: "What do we do now, should we wait for them or move first?"

"Let's wait for someone. It's night time now, and those strange toads seem to have all moved out again. We can't do anything about them." "What do you think, brother?" Yang Jie answered for Qiao Mu.

Qiao Mu did not speak and seemed to hesitate.

"How long until your men arrive?" Qiao Mu asked Song Zhengming.

"They should be fast. They are familiar with the roads here."

"Alright, then we'll try our best to wait."

Thus, they found a relatively empty place by the river. Qiao Mu and Su Qin took some food and water from their bags, turned off the light, and sat down to rest.

Just when everything was at peace, Su Qin heard a sound coming from the river, and then, the other three also noticed it. Qiao Mu stood up and turned on the powerful light flashlight.

Accompanying the burst of water, Qiao Mu's flashlight suddenly shone upon two huge lumps of fat. After a careful look, it turned out to be two Toad Man s that were slowly climbing out of the water!

The Toad Man can swim? This question surfaced in everyone's minds.

"Let's go, let's run!" Seeing the two Toad Man s crawling over like devils and demons, Qiao Mu made a prompt decision and quickly escaped.

"This way!" Song Zhengming felt that it was safer by the river, so he pointed ahead.

Toad Man's crawling speed was not as fast as a normal person's running speed in the end, so in just a short moment, they had left Toad Man far behind.

But now, Song Zhengming's wounds were continuously bleeding, and because of the constant running, he was extremely tired. After running for a distance, Song Zhengming was out of breath, his hand covering his wound, and he sat down on the ground.

"Ai …" After sitting in the office for so long, his body … "I can't do it anymore!" Song Zhengming's face was pale as he ridiculed himself.

Qiao Mu saw that there was something wrong with Song Zhengming, he guessed that there was a high chance that the wound had broken out, but there were too many bushes and weeds around, furthermore, it was too dangerous to even jump out of the river.

"Why don't we let Superintendent Song rest for a bit, then we can leave the village and meet up with our comrades at the police station. What do you say?" Yang Jie anxiously asked Qiao Mu.

Qiao Mu nodded and said: "Alright, let's do it."

"I'm so sorry, I've implicated you in the search. Your friends are definitely in danger. When our people arrive, we'll have a fight with those monsters tonight!" Song Zhengming said apologetically.

"Uncle Song, stop talking. The moment you speak, even more blood appears to flow out of your wounds. Let me wipe it away for you …"

Who knew that right after Su Qin took out a new disinfectant towel, and was about to wipe her wounds, a small black thing suddenly jumped out from the bushes at the side, and firmly grabbed onto Song Zhengming's collar.

Yang Jie was shocked. She thought it was some kind of small animal but when she focused her eyes, she saw that it was a humanoid monster that was as thin as firewood.

In an instant, the little monster's two small hands fiercely stabbed into Song Zhengming's throat. Song Zhengming immediately let out a sorrowful cry, causing Qiao Mu, Yang Jie, and Su Qin to be completely stunned.

The little monster was still making strange noises, Song Zhengming fell to the ground, with blood all over the place.

Su Qin had already recognized that this was a cadaver. She would never forget the scene of the cadaver crawling all over the ground that night. Seeing Song Zhengming's throat being pierced, he was sure that he would not live.

"It's the cadaver!" Su Qin shouted loudly.

After the cadaver finished off Song Zhengming, it immediately pointed its spear at the other three. When the cadaver crawled towards them, Qiao Mu aimed at the target, raised his blade, and in the blink of an eye, chopped the cadaver into two. Yang Jie was still worried and smashed the rock a few times.
