Chapter 241: A Boat Arrives at Night

The moment Wu Xian made his choice, a surge of blood-Qi erupted from within the idol and drilled into Wu Xian's body.

This blood-Qi began to reshape Wu Xian's body, and some non-human changes were underway; Wu Xian's spine began to itch, and the area around his coccyx felt extremely scorching.

Accompanied by a *squelch*, a tail sprouted from behind Wu Xian.

This tail was long and thin, covered in green scales, with a purple, fin-like protrusion on top; it could easily wrap around his waist, looking not too out of place.

Obtaining the tail made Wu Xian very excited.

He stroked it slowly for a while, then let the tail spin wildly like a fan.

Only after playing with it for a while did he feel satisfied.

The two of them had come to Wonder Island driven by curiosity; at that time, they felt that no matter what they saw, they would not be afraid.

This ship was definitely not as simple as Zhu and Yan thought; it likely wasn't here to pick people up, but to stir up trouble!

As early as when dealing with the first Ball-Bouncing Ghost, Wu Xian had discovered through the dust on the corridor windowsill that Wonder Island was not, as Yan Ting had said, a place where no one had landed for ten years.

A ferry with a red hull and white body docked at the island's pier, and the lights on the ship allowed Wu Xian and the others to see the full picture of the vessel clearly!

But now, it was the desire to survive that dominated them.

Wu Xian had never seen these three types of talismans before, but he took one glance and fished out the Five Ghosts Carrying Technique; it wasn't that this technique was particularly useful, but rather that the other two were completely useless.

They were all wearing identical black robes, looking like primitive cult believers, but more than half of them were carrying firearms.

Dark clouds gathered, and a wild wind howled.

Wu Xian and the others finally saw the full picture of this group.

Zhu Shuhui and Yan Bingbing were overjoyed and hurriedly wanted to run over to seek help.

Wall-Passing Technique: Can pass through any wall with the physical body.

The first day.

Woo...

The appearance of these people brought unpredictable variables to tonight's operation.

Shi Ji had betrayed Wu Xian; he didn't know when it started, but this guy stopped trying to get close to Wu Xian and often shamelessly fawned over Liao Yifang.

Wanting to leave before the job was done—where in the Fudi would such a good thing happen?

The Wall-Passing Technique was similar to the Ghostly Etherealization, and the Plant Growth Acceleration Technique couldn't change the current situation; if the dried fruit he had obtained earlier had a pit, it would be fine, but unfortunately, it was just slightly moist apricot flesh...

In the hotel lobby on the first floor, a warm bonfire was lit, dispelling the chill of dusk. Eleven people sat around the fire, chatting idly while trying their best to fill their stomachs.

Many potatoes were roasting in the fire; yesterday, during their hungriest time, they had offered potatoes to the Starving Ghost, which made them still hold a grudge against potatoes to this day. Besides, roasted potatoes were easy to carry; once they encountered a Starving Ghost, these could save their lives.

They gathered their potatoes and the necessary items, preparing to set off for the summit; just like an exam, the earlier one reached the exam hall, the more at ease one felt.

It is difficult for people to imagine things they haven't seen, so Wu Xian couldn't describe to those who hadn't grown a tail what it felt like to have one.

Wu Xian and the others hid deeper; even Yan Bingbing and Zhu Shuhui realized the danger these people posed.

Seeing this scene.

Wu Xian pondered for a moment and arrived at the answer.

The people on the ship were busy unloading cargo at the pier; after unloading, they carried the goods, walking toward the hotel with gongs and drums, making a lively scene.

Wu Xian immediately ran out, grabbed Yan Bingbing's hand, covered her mouth, and brought her back to the hotel lobby; over there, Lou Yaozong also stopped Zhu Shuhui.

This room was a guest room, and there was a break in the window, so it didn't count as a closed space; there was no need to worry about the Meat-Cutting Ghost suddenly launching an attack.

The air was filled with humidity, giving people a feeling of stuffiness and coldness.

All of them were props used for sacrifice!

Wu Xian suddenly realized.

Who knew if these people were wearing bulletproof vests under their black robes...

Many people were not the same as when they first arrived.

After these days of torture.

It seemed that every final battle in the Fudi would have a similar scene: everyone gathered together, eating their last meal, and then going to fight the malevolent entities for a glimmer of survival.

Beyond the shock.

Just at this moment.

Looking at this harmonious scene, Wu Xian felt a slight sense of emotion in his heart.

In short, it was just a lot of fun!

"Hmm... but the electricity in the tail is still very scarce. It seems there needs to be enough electrical replenishment for this tail to exert its true power."

Fortunately.

Wu Xian bowed to the Joyous Marriage Deity idol again, and three types of talismans appeared before him.

Sun Qian sat obediently by Wu Xian's side, acting as a lackey.

These people didn't stay at the hotel and continued their noisy advance; Wu Xian finally saw clearly what they were carrying.

The more oppressive it felt.

The helplessness in the face of ghost-kind filled their hearts with terror and unease; they just wanted to escape from this island as quickly as possible.

These people were likely all followers of that Luo Wang Da Gui; they had come to Luo Wang Island today to bring the items needed for the Da Gui's Deification Ceremony!

After the deity worship ended.

Wu Xian checked the time and returned to the first floor of the hotel; they had to prepare together for tonight's battle.

Over the past few days, Wonder Island had been very quiet; at most, one could hear the calls of insects and birds.

But just now, they heard a deafening whistle!

A ship had arrived!

But the dinner still ended.

Wu Xian immediately ran out and looked toward the pier.

And...

Eleven heads stared through the window toward the pier.

Perhaps this ship wasn't the first to land on the island...

But the Lotus Juanren's expressions changed slightly.

Plant Growth Acceleration Technique: Plant a seed, and in an instant, it takes root, sprouts, grows leaves, and bears fruit.

Putting the matter of the tail aside.

Although everyone was a bit reluctant.

Then everyone took action, quickly extinguishing the lights, putting out the bonfire, and trying their best to clear away any traces of people having stayed in the room...

In case of a conflict with these people, even the Lotus Juanren couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't easily lose their lives to a bullet.

Sometimes people are more terrifying than ghosts.

Would it include himself?

Wait until they were close enough.

Five Ghosts Carrying Technique: Drive five ghosts to move items from one place to another; can be used three times.

Although they had prepared a lot, when the time for action arrived, unease still lingered in everyone's hearts.

"These people are in cahoots with that Luo Wang Da Gui!"

Slaughtered pigs, cows, and sheep, candles and colorful flags, steamed buns and longevity peaches, flower garlands and paper figures, as well as some incense burners, plates, and the like...

The later the meal went.

Although Tong Yuai would still secretly wipe away tears, she was already much stronger than before; Qian Yunhe's face was slightly flushed, and his spirit was actually better than when he first entered the Fudi...

After tonight, how many of the ten faces before him would remain?

Among those who died.

After doing all this, they hid in a room nearby.

Wu Xian didn't notice that two people had quietly disappeared from the passing procession.

Before they disappeared, expressions of extreme hunger appeared on all their faces...

The crossroads was the territory of the Starving Ghost; these people passed by the crossroads and were held back by the Starving Ghost—two of them!
