Chapter 129: Human-Malevolent Entity Procession

~9 min read 1,636 words

The sun set.

Leaving behind only a smear of dusk.

The cold evening wind blew through the weeds and fallen leaves, making this mass grave even more desolate.

The circular clearing was empty. Having rested and regained their spirits, the group had already lined up in front of the grave mounds, facing the cold wind.

The selection of people entering the rooms this time was different from before, with the distribution of numbers being extremely skewed.

Nine people were gathered in front of the Clothing Shop grave door alone, forming a long line, making the number of people going to the other grave mounds look pitifully small.

As usual, there was no one wanting to go to the Spirit Hall grave, but today the Banquet Hall grave received the same treatment as the Spirit Hall grave, which meant that tomorrow no one would be able to bring out food, and everyone would have to go hungry.

Two people were going to the Guest Room grave: He Dama and Su Mi.

Su Mi had already recovered from the blow of losing his potential girlfriend, while He Dama looked sallow and shivered from time to time. Wu Xian had a decent impression of Su Mi, so he hoped Su Mi would not be dragged down by this older woman.

Only Qing Jie wanted to go to the Study grave.

She was wearing mourning clothes and was still injured. She stood alone in the cold wind, her body trembling slightly, her mouth incessantly muttering scriptures of the Three Officials Sect, looking somewhat pitiful.

Wu Xian shook his head.

"Sigh... I hope the Great Emperor of the Three Officials can look at the fact that you are a believer and bless you a little more."

"Hmm, better not give her preferential treatment. It's best to bless everyone equally so we can all get some protection."

Wu Xian looked back at the nine people in his own line.

Among them, he himself, Du E, Wei Dian, and Liang Fang had all been to the Study and the Guest Room, obtaining the birthday gifts and malevolent skins.

The information they obtained in the rooms should be consistent, so they all made the same choice without prior consultation: go to the Clothing Shop first to get mourning clothes, then go to the Spirit Hall and Banquet Hall to take risks.

Hu Yunkuan and Guan Daorong had already been to the Clothing Shop grave once, but although they survived that time, they didn't get mourning clothes because they lacked malevolent skins.

Therefore, after surviving the Guest Room, they returned to the Clothing Shop again.

Although this choice would cause them to waste a day, it was better than dying miserably in other rooms due to a lack of mourning clothes.

As for the remaining three: Xu Fenglan, Teacher Luan Jing, and Yu Laoban...

They were happily lined up at the front of the queue, with not a hint of fear on their faces. They had entered the Clothing Shop last time and were entering it together again this time; it was truly not surprising at all.

*Click! *

The doors to all the grave mounds opened simultaneously.

The three who chose the Study and Guest Room entered without hesitation, but Hu Yunkuan, who was at the front of the Clothing Shop line, stopped in his tracks and even took a step back.

A small head poked out from the grave mound.

It was a young woman.

She was less than 1.2 meters tall, had a spiky haircut, wore a prickly robe draped over her back, and carried a white lantern in her hand. She walked out nonchalantly and shone the lantern.

"Ah!"

"Why are there so many people? We're over capacity by six or seven!"

"You guys wait here for a while; we need to prepare before opening the shop!"

After saying this, the small woman placed the lantern on the ground, turned around, and hopped back into the Clothing Shop. The door to the Clothing Shop slammed shut, leaving the nine people waiting outside in the cold wind.

By this time, the sun had already set.

The demons and ghosts in the surrounding mass grave had all crawled out, vaguely surrounding the circular clearing. All sorts of bizarre-looking things stared with drooling mouths, spying on the flesh and blood of the group.

"How can there be such a thing as being over capacity? How long do we have to wait?"

"Malevolent entities are just malevolent entities; they don't know how to cherish time!"

Yu Laoban and the other two wearing mourning clothes instantly bristled. Being unable to enter the Clothing Shop made them feel uneasy inside.

"It's all your fault! If you hadn't insisted on coming to the Clothing Shop, we would have already gone in!" Xu Fenglan took out a makeup mirror to touch up her makeup, complaining sarcastically at Wu Xian and the others.

The others besides the three of them were also somewhat panicked.

After all, it was night, and being unable to enter a room was something that was happening for the first time.

Wu Xian pondered for two seconds, then walked up, picked up the lantern from the ground, and returned to the center of the line. As the lantern's light moved, some of the malevolent entities outside all retreated a distance.

Seeing this, the group realized the effect of the lantern light. They immediately stopped lining up in a long queue and gathered around Wu Xian.

Previously, Butler Hu of the Liu Mansion had also relied on a lantern to deter the crowd of malevolent entities. Although the light of this white lantern was weaker, it had the same ability as that lantern.

With this lantern, even if they entered the Clothing Shop later, there shouldn't be any major danger.

After confirming the lantern's ability.

Wu Xian rubbed his chin.

"Also..."

He lifted the lantern and reached it toward Guan Daorong in front, almost touching Guan Daorong's face.

Guan Daorong replied with dissatisfaction: "What are you doing?"

Wu Xian didn't stop and continued to push the lantern outward. When the lantern passed Guan Daorong's face, something appeared behind the light.

A monster with layers of flesh, nearly two people tall, and covered in hundreds of horizontal wounds, appeared right behind Guan Daorong.

"Mommy!"

Except for Wu Xian, Du E, and Wei Dian, who were already mentally prepared, everyone else screamed. No matter when it happens, the sudden appearance of a monster is a shock to the heart.

The monster revealed a sinister smile and waved at the group.

The group swallowed their saliva; its appearance was truly hard to look at directly.

This malevolent entity that had suddenly appeared and was sticking close to Wu Xian and the others was none other than the combination of Huo Gai and Sha Xiuwen that had formed in the Guest Room this morning!

Then Wu Xian repeated the trick.

He shone the lantern toward the outside, and two more figures were revealed.

One was Jiang Xianglan, who had once gone to the Study grave with Wu Xian and the others. Her face and body had large areas of burns, vaguely emitting heat, and her face was expressionless.

The other was Qi Peiye. His face was pale, looking like he had lost too much blood, and there was a blood line in the center of his waist, with all the clothing below the blood line stained red.

These three malevolent entities were also surrounding Wu Xian and the others, hiding within the range of the lantern light.

Wu Xian shrugged: "It seems these three are also going to enter the Clothing Shop with us tonight."

When the small woman turned back.

Wu Xian knew that there were more than just the three of them in line.

Because she said they were over capacity by six or seven.

But the maximum number of people to enter the Clothing Shop grave at once was only five. There were nine living people; how could they be over capacity by six or seven?

It's simple: malevolent entities were also lining up...

In this Blessed Land, this was already considered an old trick.

The group's reactions to this were very different.

Wu Xian, Guan Daorong, Du E, Wei Dian, and Hu Yunkuan had no reaction; they were already used to the practice of malevolent entities trying to blend into the crowd.

It was precisely because of this that Wu Xian was able to quickly discover these three malevolent entities.

Xu Fenglan and the other two wearing mourning clothes relaxed when they saw that the three malevolent entities were also going to enter the Clothing Shop. Besides being startled, they didn't mind entering the room with the malevolent entities.

Liang Fang wanted to take action against the malevolent entities, but Wei Dian pressed her hand and shook his head slightly.

Now was not the time to take action. If a fight broke out and the lantern was broken, the malevolent entities outside, who were eyeing them covetously, would instantly tear them apart and devour them...

So she could only lower her hand indignantly.

Wei Dian's hand did not move away from hers...

Uh, let me mention the update issue. I used to update at 5:00 PM, but since the book went live, I've been doing three updates a day, and I've run out of drafts. It's really hard to keep up every day. Instead of explaining why I'm late every day, it's better to let the update time be flexible from now on. I will try my best to update at 5:00 PM, but if there is no update at 5:00 PM, don't worry, I will definitely complete three updates before 12:00 midnight. If I can't finish, I will explain separately...
