Chapter 367

The gloomy and dilapidated village looked unusually terrifying under the shroud of darkness. A cold wind blew, and an eerie cold that made people's scalps numb rushed toward them from inside the village.

These people looked at the broken gate in front of them and the dilapidated thatched cottages further away, feeling that there was something quite terrifying hidden inside. As long as they dared to step into it, they would be completely swallowed.

"Brother Shan, should we use something to explore the way first?"

These few subordinates were still cowardly at this time. One of them, a thin man, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Brother Shan, the leader, and cautiously made such a suggestion.

"Old Liu, take this thing and go in to see!"

Hearing this thin man say this, Brother Shan laughed immediately, and then took out a talisman directly and ordered a man who looked quite timid.

"Bro, Bro, Brother Shan, this, this is probably not good!"

"Old, Old Liu, I have always been clumsy with my hands and feet, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'll mess things up if I'm not careful!"

Seeing the talisman handed over by the other party, Old Liu felt numb all over. But facing Brother Shan's dead-gray eyes and the threatening gazes of the others around him, he couldn't refuse openly.

"Don't be afraid, this talisman is a good thing I exchanged before coming here. Even if you encounter a Li Gui, you can eat it in one bite!"

Brother Shan squeezed his constantly trembling shoulder with a little force, and suddenly Old Liu felt a cold feeling spreading from his shoulder to his whole body.

He knew that if he refused again, he would likely lose his life, so he could only squeeze out a smile that was incomparably stiff, and then took the talisman from Brother Shan's hand.

"That, that Brother Shan, I'm going now. If, if something happens to me, I hope Brother Shan can take care of my silly son!"

"Rest assured, with this talisman, I guarantee you won't have any trouble!"

Old Liu pinched the talisman in his hand tightly, and then walked into Qingshi Village under the gaze of everyone.

As he stepped into the broken village gate, everything seemed quite normal. People outside could even see Old Liu's fearful and hesitant movements.

However, as he gradually walked toward the inside of the village, his figure soon began to blur. Because of the darkness, people outside could no longer see the situation inside clearly.

Suddenly, they seemed to see a ball of fire burning in the village, but soon this ball of fire disappeared, and everything in the village returned to its original state, and no movement could be seen anymore.

Such a weird scene made the few people outside take several steps back instantly. But suddenly, they saw a light lit up in one of the thatched cottages.

With the help of that faint light, they could vaguely see a figure in the thatched cottage, and it seemed to be waving at them, as if letting them go over.

"Old Liu?"

"No! Old Liu must have had an accident!"

"With his courage, he definitely wouldn't dare to enter the house!"

"Hiss~ Brother Shan, this village is evil!"

"Brother Shan, this village is definitely not something we can handle, let's go back to the Gui Lou first!"

Several subordinates saw this scene and instantly broke out in cold sweat. They didn't know what happened to Old Liu, but being able to kill Old Liu silently, and even the talisman had no effect, one could imagine the danger of this village.

"Go? Who can walk out now?"

Suddenly, Brother Shan's stiff face changed and said such a sentence that made everyone feel cold.

Subsequently, they suddenly realized that they had entered the village unknowingly, and around them were those broken thatched cottages.

Every door and window looked pitch black, and no one knew what was hidden in the houses.

"Brother Shan, this, what is going on?"

"Old Liu!"

"Creak~ creak~"

However, before they could make any reaction, suddenly a ray of light shone from a house, and then a figure appeared at the door of the house and looked at them with a stiff smile.

Seeing this figure, the few people instantly felt their scalps were about to explode, because this person was Old Liu who had just disappeared.

"Darkness returns to the soul, gather around the stove to keep watch~"

At this time, Old Liu stared at them with gloomy eyes and just said such a sentence, and then the few people walked uncontrollably toward several other pitch-black thatched cottages.

"There is Gui! There is Gui!"

"Hurry, hurry, run!"

"Brother Shan harmed me! Brother Shan harmed me!"

However, their consciousness was still incomparably clear at this time, but they didn't know why they couldn't control their legs, and no matter how they struggled or shouted, it was to no avail.

But when they turned their heads, they found that Brother Shan, who had always been regarded as a backer by them, was still standing in place, watching all this happen with cold eyes.

Soon, these few people all walked into the thatched cottages, and then lights lit up in these houses one after another. It seemed that this abandoned village had added some vitality.

"Finally enough!"

And at this time, Brother Shan, who was still in place, finally revealed a smile of joy. Ever since he discovered the secret here, he had been planning.

Now it was finally going to be done! Next, as long as he could take away that ball of fire, he would definitely be able to climb to a higher floor of the Gui Lou!

No, it should be said that it was not impossible to completely master that Gui Lou!

"Phew~"

Soon, lights lit up in one house after another in the village. After a while, the whole village seemed to come alive.

Figures appeared at the door or window of every house. Obviously, quite a few people had been harmed here before this.

"Darkness returns to the soul, gather around the stove to keep watch~"

Accompanied by the appearance of these figures was a sentence that kept echoing, sounding like warning people to keep watch at night.

Accompanied by these words echoing constantly, the whole village began to have some indescribable changes.

The illusions around rose, and the various bustling scenes in the village in the past emerged rapidly, but everything disappeared in the blink of an eye, turning into various miserable states, and finally, the whole village became this dilapidated scene today.

"Boom!"

As all the illusions disappeared, a ball of dark red fire appeared out of thin air above the village. Brother Shan saw this and was overjoyed, and then immediately stretched out a withered hand full of wrinkles and grabbed toward this ball of fire.

"Hahaha, this Gui fire is mine!"

Seeing that he was about to get this Gui fire, Brother Shan could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart. In the next moment, he successfully grabbed this Gui fire in his hand.

This Gui fire was dark red, looking rootless and source-less, giving people a feeling of inexplicable horror.

But at this time, Brother Shan only felt that the work was done. Next, as long as he could integrate this Gui fire into his body, he would be able to surpass everyone else!

However, the Gui fire, which originally had no fluctuations, suddenly expanded, and in an instant, it swallowed Brother Shan. Brother Shan didn't even have time to scream before he became a torch.

Soon, all the Gui fire disappeared, and Brother Shan, who was burned by the Gui fire, actually survived, but at this time, his eyes were dark red, and his entire momentum had been completely changed.

"Darkness returns to the soul~ gather around the stove to keep watch~"

"Shousui is ruthless~ the end is coming~"

At this time, such words were shouted again in the houses in the village, declaring that the Shousui of the past had returned to the Rengian.
