Chapter Thirty-Four: A friend in need is a friend indeed; a friend in poverty is a friend no more

  The womans voice in the sedan made Zhao Zhus goosebumps rise all over his body, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if he couldnt help but burst out of his throat. However, his blood seemed to be freezing, with a cold feeling that was hard to describe, and his joints felt stiff and numb.

  Zhao Zhu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing all the uncomfortable reactions that had arisen in his body, and then pulled out two talismans hidden at his cuffs and stuck them to the bottom of the sedan chair in front of him without hesitation.

  The paper money was burned to ashes and dispersed, while the sedan chair suddenly lost its original splendor and became old and worn out, almost only leaving a skeleton, without even a curtain. Zhao Zhu, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head and saw a scene in the sedan chair: a woman wearing a red hood and dressed in a cloud-patterned dress sat in the sedan chair, elegant and refined, with the demeanor of a young bride-to-be, captivating ones soul, as if a single glance would snatch away ones spirit.

  Zhao Zhu quickly bit his tongue, and blood came out. At the same time, he felt a sudden clarity in his mind. The aura of the female ghost in the sedan chair was too strong, and Zhao Zhu had almost fallen into it just now.

  The sedan chair suddenly became dilapidated, and the men and women who were originally carrying the sedan chair and throwing flowers all gathered around Zhao Zhu. Each of their faces was smeared with red rouge, and other parts of their skin were as white as paper. At this moment, Zhao Zhu realized that these people were actually the spirits of those paper figures that had been burned to ashes. In many places in China, there is a custom where when someone dies, their family will burn paper houses and paper figures to serve them in the afterlife.

  "Get out!"

  A bottle of holy water was taken out by Zhao Zhu, the cork was bitten open with his mouth, and then it was splashed all around. The paper people around him let out a mournful cry, and wherever the holy water touched them, they started burning. A sea of fire formed beside Zhao Zhu, and through the gaps in the flames, he saw that the bride was still sitting steadily inside the broken sedan chair.

  Zhao Zhu grabbed the backpack beside him and didnt dare to look at the sedan chair again. He directly ran in another direction, but when he ran out for five minutes and parted the shrubs in front of him, he found that the broken sedan chair was still in front of him. The woman inside the sedan chair sat motionless.

  "Lang Jun, where are you going?"

  Zhao Zhu only felt a dizziness in his brain, and then his nose tip felt cool, he stretched out his hand to wipe it, and unexpectedly, nasal blood flowed out. Then, he touched his ears again, and there was also blood flowing from his ears. After that, fresh blood seeped out of his eyes, and his vision turned red. His throat was also blocked, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.

  "Cough! Cough! Cough!"

  Zhao Zhu is now bleeding from seven orifices and feels like hes about to suffocate.

  "Zhao Zhu, is that you there!"

  Wang Yes voice came from not far away, Zhao Zhu had noticed earlier that he was wearing military camouflage, not the ordinary camouflage clothing sold on the market, but the style and material used in the army. It seems that this person is not a soldier, but his family should have a military background, and he should have been trained since childhood, and his physical fitness is actually not much different from Zhao Zhus.

  It was just that Zhao Zhu kicked them awake and then ran away directly, so he pulled a distance from Wang Ye. It seems that Wang Ye also made the same choice as Zhao Zhu, running directly without choosing to walk with the two draggers behind him. Zhao Zhu was only delayed for about a moment before catching up.

  "I am here!"

  After shouting out the four words, Zhao Zhu felt a surge of blood water blocking his throat, causing him to roll his eyes back. If this were some holy mother TV drama, when another friend came looking for him, they would probably intentionally remain silent to avoid danger. But this was the real world, and this was a horror web novel world - Zhao Zhu had to make noise, and he forced himself to shout loudly because if he didnt bring over the other person, if he didnt get that person out of the water, how could he possibly escape?

  Wasnt she killed by that female ghost here?

  Wang Ye rushed over, following the sound, and saw the flower sedan chair. He also saw Zhao Zhu kneeling on the ground with a painful expression. He immediately understood what was going on. His gaze at Zhao Zhu had an added hint of anger. He had originally sensed the movement ahead, which was why he had called out to ask if it was Zhao Zhu in front. After all, it wasnt easy for two people walking together and searching for the traces left behind by that group of people to get lost.

  Furthermore, Wang Ye also saw clearly that Zhao Zhus physical quality was absolutely different from the hoodlum and the lecherous uncle behind him. At least he wouldnt drag himself down. But who would have thought that Zhao Zhu would directly speak out and lead himself to this dangerous place!

  The red veil on the female ghosts face scattered instantly, revealing a thoroughly rotten and maggot-infested face that had surpassed the boundaries of language to describe. Even Zhao Zhu, who was almost crushed to the point of losing consciousness, felt a jolt in his heart upon seeing this face.

  The female ghosts sedan chair flew up, spinning and rushing towards Wang Ye. It seemed that she thought Zhao Zhu was already finished and couldnt escape her palm, dying at her own hands was just a matter of time. Now she needed to go catch another new prey.

  Wang Ye was also prepared, seeing the flower sedan flying towards him, he immediately pulled out a scroll, the scroll opened, revealing a "卍" character, in an instant, a golden light burst out from the scroll, directly hitting the flower sedan, the flower sedan had to stop in mid-air, and then the female ghost let out a sharp cry, her whole body flew out of the flower sedan, stretching out her hand to grab Wang Ye, her fingernails were terrifyingly long, with a dark deep color.

  Wang Yes eyes revealed a hint of reluctance, but he still waved his hand and tore open the scroll in his hand. Although the scroll was torn apart, the "卍" character still existed, as if floating in mid-air. Later, when the female ghost pounced over, the "卍" character directly hit her body, and a string of piercing blue flames burst out from her body, sending her flying backward.

  It seemed that the female ghost had eaten a turtle, and Zhao Zhus oppressive feeling suddenly decreased. He hastily took out the protective mirror and covered his chest with it. The mirror shattered with a "crack" sound, revealing cracks all over it. At the same time, Zhao Zhu felt himself become lighter, and his breathing became smoother. Without taking another breath, he quickly scrambled to his feet and ran away without looking back. At this moment, Wang Ye had taken the opportunity to tie up the female ghost, and if he didnt take advantage of the situation to run, then he would be brainless. Thats just how it was - a friend in need is a friend indeed.

  Zhao Zhu himself was not clear how far he had run, nor did he know which direction he was running in. At this time, even if there was a map on his mobile phone, it would be useless. The darkness and the dense forest made GPS useless, making it impossible for him to locate himself.

  However, Zhao Zhuo was not without a solution. He hastily took out an incense stick for guidance, thinking of Yan Xings figure in his mind, and then lit the incense. The white smoke curled up, but instead of drifting with the wind, it leaned towards one direction in a strange way. Zhao Zhuo immediately obtained directions and ran in that direction, holding the incense close to his chest to prevent it from going out or breaking.

  The incense had been burning for ten minutes, and Zhao Zhu walked in that direction for another quarter of an hour. Finally, he saw a house in the woods, which was a tavern, a very lively tavern. In this forest where ghosts were everywhere, such a lively tavern appeared, it could be known that there must be a problem here even if you thought about it with your butt!

  However, outside, Zhao Zhu clearly saw that on the second floor of the wine shop, a group of people were sitting at a table, Yan Xing, Li Liang Jian, Shi Chong and Xiao Ge were all seated at the same table, with some wine and dishes in front of each person, seemingly discussing something.

  Zhao Zhu was in a difficult situation, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to believe that Yan Xing and the other four had all fallen together. Now, even the shadow of the ancient tomb couldnt be seen. If these few strongest guys were all caught, whats the point of playing?

  As I walked into the tavern, a waiter came over and asked enthusiastically: "Sir, are you staying or dining?"

  Zhao Zhu pointed to the second floor window position and said: "Im looking for someone."

  "Alright, you go up yourself, Ill get busy with something else first."

  Zhao Zhu went up to the second floor like this. Yan Xing and others obviously also saw Zhao Zhu, and Yan Xing even waved his hand:

  "Its pretty fast, come on over."

  Zhao Zhu also sat down at the table, and there were many dishes on the table, but no one touched their chopsticks.

  "These dishes, you cant finish them, dont believe me, just take a look."

  Li Liangjian smiled and pulled out a talisman, lightly pinched it, and the talisman turned into a ball of powder ash that fell into the bowl of braised pork. Then, the bowl underwent a change, becoming very old and dirty, and inside the bowl was no longer braised pork, but rather a large bowl of squirming maggots.
