Chapter 306: Three Coffins

The flames burned out.

The bodies turned into ashes.

Wu Xian and the others collected the ashes, put them in urns, found a good place with mountains and clear water nearby to bury the urns, and these three funerals were considered finished.

The elderly returned to their rooms slowly, without too many special expressions on their faces, but the mindset of these elderly people had already changed.

If they hadn't seen a funeral.

The elderly could still endure it numbly.

But when they saw with their own eyes that someone didn't have to be exposed in the wilderness, a longing arose in their hearts. This longing turned into recognition of Wu Xian and the others.

At dinner time.

Wu Xian could clearly feel that these elderly people had become much kinder; they were no longer cold-faced old fogies, but more like reliable elders who were kind to the younger generation.

It was just a pity.

Wu Xian and the others didn't plan to stay here for too long.

The information about the Undying City He family had appeared many times; they would have to go to the He family sooner or later. Things that hadn't been settled in No-Burial Village needed to be finished tonight as much as possible.

There were three things everyone had to deal with tonight.

The first was being teleported into the coffin to face the growing pale ghost shadow. This was something everyone had to face, and it was very likely the last time. Whether they lived or died depended on their fortune.

The second was welcoming the three people buried tonight. Theoretically, these three wouldn't bring danger to everyone. They could provide a total of eighteen bamboo slips. If there was no new information on the bamboo slips, or if the information was repetitive, it meant that the only information everyone could obtain from the bamboo slips was of two types, and they would have to reach the Undying City to obtain other information.

The third was the monster under the moonlight. This monster would definitely appear under the moonlight. Although it represented a certain danger, it was also a resource pack that could be harvested at any time. Killing these monsters could potentially yield important information and also accumulate strength for the upcoming trip to the Undying City.

In order to deal with these three things.

Everyone prepared busily before dark.

First, regarding the pale ghost shadow, others couldn't help. All everyone could do was rely on their own strength to overcome the difficulty, but a few Lotus Juanren did provide some small survival tips to the newcomers.

For example, Jian Lingyu.

Using the poisonous things collected over these three days, she brewed a large pot of poison. Everyone could smear it on their weapons at will. This poison couldn't directly kill the malevolent entity, but it had some effect, more or less.

Wu Xian provided some solutions for difficulties they might encounter.

For example, entering the coffin this time, their body size would definitely be shrunk, so when leaving, they might not be able to open the coffin lid due to height and strength reasons.

Everyone could place some sundries in the coffin in advance, and wedge something between the coffin and the coffin lid to reduce the difficulty of opening the door.

These sundries could be placed at the back end of the coffin, because the pale ghost shadow appeared at the back end. The larger-sized ghost shadow was more easily squeezed and interfered with by the sundries...

And so on, not to be listed one by one.

Secondly, there were the three soul-returning people who would inevitably return because of those three funerals. Although they likely wouldn't bring any trouble, they still had to be guarded against.

Finally, there was the monster under the moonlight.

The strength of this monster had already been tested clearly by Wei Hengbo and the others last night. As long as they weren't caught off guard, the threat wasn't particularly great.

If they wanted to hunt these monsters, the most ideal venue was the flat area in the center of the village. Everyone could participate, and by using their abilities in coordination with each other, they could exert the greatest effect.

But this would lead to two problems.

If there were only three monsters left, then naturally everything was easy to talk about, but no one could guarantee that the number of monsters under the moonlight would be the same every night.

According to the intelligence provided by Old Tang, this kind of monster didn't just appear in No-Burial Village; it was more likely to appear in every corner of the world. Therefore, perhaps everyone would be excitedly prepared today, but as soon as the moonlight came out, there would be dozens of them. By then, there would be nowhere for everyone to escape to.

In addition.

How to divide the spoils was also a problem. This wasn't a final battle where everyone fought with one heart. If the spoils weren't enough, how should they be divided reasonably? After some discussion.

Everyone finally set the action plan.

Before being teleported into the coffin, they would first use the method Wu Xian and the other used last night to determine the number of monsters under the moonlight.

If the number was small, they would directly concentrate fire to kill them, without bothering everyone.

If the number was too large...

Then after surviving the first moonlight, everyone would split up and hide in the elderly's rooms, lure the monsters under the moonlight into the rooms, and kill them in batches. This way, there would be no problem of dividing the spoils...

Time passed bit by bit.

When everyone finished discussing the plan, the sky had already turned dark.

The person responsible for confirming the number of moonlight monsters was decided by drawing lots. In the end, Su Xuan and Wei Hengbo were chosen. Others just needed to look away and enter the coffin.

Swish! Du E was the first to disappear.

She wasn't afraid at all; she was even looking forward to it.

Then it was Li Juxian, Jian Lingyu, Wei Qinglan. Wen Chao comforted Jiang Chun with a couple of sentences, stuffed something into Jiang Chun's hand, and then disappeared into the air.

Jiang Chun was full of fear, every cell in her body was resisting, but the people around her disappeared one by one. When no one was watching her, she could only be forced to enter the coffin...

Wu Xian didn't disappear in the end.

He watched the reflection on the water surface calmly, trying his best not to let his gaze shift away.

This wasn't because of fear.

There was nothing about the pale ghost shadow for him to be afraid of.

He had just left enough means to kill the ghost shadow in the coffin last night; there was no need to teleport over and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the pale ghost shadow...

Li Juxian's coffin was shaking violently, and angry roars came from it.

The face of the huge ghost shadow was full of terror. It was almost about to choke Li Juxian to death, but this man suddenly turned red-eyed, and a baleful aura that even malevolent entities feared erupted from his body. The crazy attack brought the ghost shadow's body almost to the verge of collapse...

Jian Lingyu sat elegantly at one end of the coffin, looking coldly at the huge female body opposite her. The huge Jian Lingyu, who was exactly the same as her, was curling up in pain, her life gradually slipping away...

Wen Chao...

Du E...

Wei Hengbo and Su Xuan, who had finished confirming the number of monsters...

After three days of adaptation, everyone's strength had improved compared to the beginning. Although the pale ghost shadow's size was growing, the strength it had enhanced was far from being comparable to that of the Lotus Juanren.

In Ran Qiuhua's urn.

The pale-bodied Ran Qiuhua was looking at the long-haired yellow-haired man opposite her in a daze.

What was the situation? Why wasn't it Ran Qiuhua who appeared here?

Who was this man?

There was a man and a woman in the urn, like a tall woman and a little boy, but the momentum was in favor of the little boy.

Ran Huang Tian first looked at Ran Qiuhua with nostalgia for a while, then a wild aura revealed itself in his eyes, sharp fangs protruded, and a slaughter was about to begin...

But although everyone was gradually winning, Jiang Chun had fallen into despair...
