Chapter 61: The Statue Destroys the Gui Nu! This is a Gift Belonging to Great Yan!

Xu Meng closed her eyes subconsciously; she dared not lock gazes with the horror before her again.

"Am I going to die, too?"

She knew it was impossible for her to escape alive from the hands of the evil ghost.

But, Xu Meng still could not help but pray to the heavens.

She hoped the deity she worshipped in her daily life would cast its gaze down and allow her to turn danger into safety.

Therefore, the hand she had tucked into her pocket at this moment was gripping the statue tightly—the City God statue she had begged for from an unknown temple.

"Do you think the thing in your hand can save you?"

The white-skinned Gui Nu hanging beneath the ghost-faced balloon laughed, looking at Xu Meng with a hint of mockery: "Deities do not exist in this world; if they did, how could I have died?"

Its voice became increasingly hoarse.

At the same time.

Pools of blood continued to drip from its festering body.

The air was instantly permeated with the stench of decay.

This change in the situation made Xu Meng's face turn even paler, and her body trembled more violently; this was the human body's natural fear of death.

"I will crush the thing in your hand into powder."

"Destroy your last hope."

"And then, I will eat you, one bite at a time."

The white-skinned Gui Nu laughed wildly.

Having arrived before Xu Meng, it did not launch an attack on her immediately.

Instead, it extended that arm pieced together from countless scraps of flesh and took out the City God statue Xu Meng was holding.

The next moment, it exerted force violently! This terrifying, monstrous strength was enough to crush an adult to death!

Yet strangely, it had no effect whatsoever on the City God statue in the Gui Nu's hand!

The City God statue had no damage at all! "What is going on?"

The Gui Nu was somewhat stunned.

It did not understand why the texture of this statue was so sturdy.

However, the Gui Nu did not harbor too many suspicions.

Because deities could not possibly exist! The statue before it was, at best, a statue with a better texture; it could not possibly have anything strange about it! Thinking of this,

The white-skinned ghost exerted even more force.

But... the outcome was still the same as before.

The City God statue was not crushed in its hand; it remained as warm and smooth as jade, completely intact! "Hahaha!"

It was right at this moment that a burst of laughter suddenly came from the room.

This burst of laughter made the Gui Nu's expression even gloomier.

Its face, which was constantly oozing blood, lifted up and stared fixedly at Xu Meng: "Is it very funny?"

Xu Meng was so scared that she shook her head repeatedly: "It wasn't me laughing, it wasn't me laughing..."

She was scared to death right now.

Her eyes were closed tight.

Xu Meng only knew that the Gui Nu had snatched the statue from her hand; she knew nothing of the subsequent events.

How could she be laughing? The Gui Nu understood this logic as well, so its thoughts quickly shifted away from Xu Meng: "It wasn't you laughing, then who was it? Could there be other people in this room?"

Thinking of this.

The Gui Nu's expression became happy.

There were other people in the room.

Didn't this mean its meal tonight could be even more sumptuous? "Hahaha!"

That burst of laughter rang out once again.

This time, the Gui Nu heard it very clearly; it was coming from the statue in its own hand! What the hell! How could this thing possibly emit human laughter?

The Gui Nu was dumbfounded.

But before it could react, the statue suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light! "Ah—!!"

This was no ordinary light; it was divine light capable of incinerating a ghost's body! As the golden light scattering outward shone upon the Gui Nu, this Guiyi object's entire body actually ignited with raging flames!

"Ah—!!"

The terrifying flames continuously scorched the ghost, causing it to tremble uncontrollably.

A voice of terror rang out once more.

This left Xu Meng very puzzled; driven by intense curiosity, she opened her eyes just a crack.

And it was with this look.

She was completely shocked.

This terrifying evil ghost was actually being burned smaller and smaller by the golden light! "This... what on earth is going on?"

She was stunned. Before Xu Meng could fully grasp the situation before her, this terrifying evil ghost was completely burned to ashes.

All that remained was the statue that had lost its grip and fallen to the ground. "The statue... could it be!"

It was also at this moment that a very bold idea sprouted in the depths of Xu Meng's heart; this was an idea related to the rewards obtained by the Great Yan Empire!

——God-given items! These objects that could suppress and drive away evil in ghost stories.

Following the issuance of the Blood Curtain rewards, they truly possessed the ability to drive away evil and eliminate ghosts!

"This is only just the beginning."

"If the Destiny People of our Great Yan Empire can continuously clear the Gui Tan dungeons..."

"The abilities the Blood Curtain bestows upon our Great Yan Empire will grow stronger and stronger."

"From objects, to power itself!"

"By then."

"We will no longer fear the Guiyi era!"

This was an idea that sprouted in Xu Meng after destroying ghosts through the divine statue.

There are quite a few others like Xu Meng's example.

Those 【Objects】 that received power bestowed by the Blood Curtain are protecting the citizens of the Great Yan Empire in areas eroded by Guiyi.

Until,

they can safely return to their hometowns.

Just like that.

In a trance, 70 hours passed; at this moment, only two hours remain until the opening of the brand-new Rule Gui Tan instance, 【Da Luo Shan】.

During this special time period.

Those viewers who had left returned once again to the Great Yan Empire's Qiongdong Zhibojian.

【Szzzt—】

Within the frame.

Accompanied by the flow of an electromagnetic sound.

The screen turned on.

The Great Yan Empire's livestream, which had been disconnected for dozens of hours, finally restored its feed!

【Finally fixed!】

【I wonder what Su Qiu has been doing these past dozens of hours.】

【Sigh, I also want to see the scenery of That Place.】

【You'd better just think about it and leave it at that; have you heard the saying? He who gazes into the abyss is also being gazed at by the abyss.】

【Simply put, if we see Him, He will also see us.】

【Then isn't Su Qiu afraid?】

【Su Qiu is someone protected by the rules; have you been protected?】

【That's true.】

【Let's just watch the arrival of the Da Luo Shan instance quietly!】

【.】

Accompanied by lines of bullet comments flashing by.

Su Qiu.

This Chosen One, who bears the national fortune of the Great Yan Empire, also appeared in the center of the screen.

At this very moment, he had completed the exploration he desired and returned to the station where the train returns.

"Woo—"

The train arrived right on time.

It drove from the depths of the 【Mu Di】 and stopped in front of the platform, waiting for passengers to board and alight.

"Xiao Bai, it's time for us to go back."

Rubbing Bai Ze's head, Su Qiu stepped onto the carriage.

There were many empty seats.

However, quite a few were covered by gray mist.

This is a sign of the existence of passengers.

Seeing these 【Passengers】 who were already sitting in their seats early on, Su Qiu, as well as the viewers in the livestream, became puzzled.

—Mu Di.

This place is clearly the End Point of the train line.

The train arriving here should only have passengers boarding; where did these passengers who were already sitting in their seats come from?
