Chapter Sixteen: Fissure

  Sun the old ghost entered a state of meditation, but instead released that little ghost. At first glance, this little ghost would still seem terrifying, but after some time had passed. Ever since learning how to search: Mom doesn't have to worry about me not being able to see the latest chapters anymore! I also somewhat didn't think much of it and instead found him to be quite adorable with an air of innocence.

  At this moment, I saw the little ghost propping up his chin. His eyes blinked and stared blankly at the outside of the cave. Seeing this, I walked over and sat down beside him, asking "How did you become a little ghost?"

  The little ghost turned his head to look at me, blinked his shiny black eyes, and waved his small fist. He said "yi ya yi ya" to me, while pointing at Old Ghost Sun with his hand, occasionally hugging his shoulders and pretending to be afraid and trembling.

  I found it amusing, but in my heart, I was secretly shocked.

  Could it be that this child was killed by Old Sun and then raised as a little ghost using some special method?

  That male and female ghostly pair should be the child's parents, no doubt. Could it be that all three of them were murdered by Old Ghost Sun and then became vengeful spirits?

  Thinking of this, I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. This old devil is ruthless and merciless, not even sparing children, truly detestable.

  But unfortunately I'm too weak, Sun the old ghost wants to move me, it's probably just a matter of minutes, can only helplessly sigh, then stretch out my hand and touch the little ghost's head.

  It was just that when my right hand was raised, the little ghost suddenly shrank back, looking at my right hand with a terrified expression. It said something to me in a "yi ya yi ya" tone, and I furrowed my brow, looked at my right hand, and saw that its skin color was clearly different from my left hand, with a pale red hue and scars all over the back of my hand. Apart from being a bit unsightly, there was nothing else unusual about it.

  But why is this little devil so afraid of my right hand?

  Could it be related to the Fumo Hand mentioned by Corpse Sister?

  Demon-subduing Hand, what's going on? Why did I inexplicably cultivate into a Demon-subduing Hand?

  Could it be that all of this has something to do with Grandpa?

  As soon as I think of Grandpa, I naturally think of Dad, and also Dog Egg who disappeared, and those villagers.

  I don't know how they are doing now, whether they are still lying in those hundreds of large coffins.

  Then I thought of Xia Yuxin again.

  How is Xia Yu Xin doing?

  A person, in the deep mountains and old forests, facing endless crises and terrifying dark troops, must be very helpless!

  Alas!

  I let out a deep sigh, but at this moment, suddenly there was a gust of cold wind blowing from the depths of the mountain cave. The wind blew fiercely and made a 'whoooo' sound like a ghost crying. I couldn't help but shiver with fear, turned my head back to look, and saw that the depths of the mountain cave were dark and seemed like the huge mouth of a monster, very terrifying.

  At this time, there was a 'thud thud thud' sound coming out, the sound was extremely heavy, as if some terrifying creature was rushing out of the mountain cave.

  The little demon beside me seemed to have sensed the danger too, waving its fists at me and shouting "Yiya yiya" loudly. I was shocked in my heart and wanted to call out to Old Sun, but just then, a low growl came from the depths of the mountain cave, and suddenly, a huge creature rushed out quickly from the darkness.

  "Roar!......" It opened its huge mouth and let out a deafening roar, I couldn't help but be shocked to the core, 'thud thud thud' I retreated two steps back, feeling like my scalp was going to explode.

  What rushed out was actually a brown bear.

  This brown bear was extremely fat and huge, and when it ran at full speed, the cave seemed to shake with it.

  In the deep mountains and old forests, there is a saying that ranks the ferocity of wild animals towards humans: wild boars are the most dangerous, followed by bears, and then tigers. All three have strong attacking instincts. At this moment, the brown bear suddenly charged out, scaring me so much that my soul was about to escape. I let out a loud cry and turned around to run, but that little devil grabbed onto my clothes and pointed at Sun the old ghost, shouting "Yiya yiya" at me.

  I turned my head to look, and saw that Old Sun was like a dead body, seemingly unaware of everything happening outside. At this time, the brown bear had already rushed to the back of Old Sun. Seeing someone blocking its way, it suddenly stood up on its hind legs, and then its two front paws drummed against its own chest with great force, making a loud "thumping" sound. After that, I heard the bear let out a shrill cry, and then its body quickly pounced towards Old Sun.

  I was shocked and amazed, although at this moment I was a prisoner of Sun Lao Gui, but to be honest, in the depths of this old forest, if there was no Sun Lao Gui, I might not have been able to get out. At that time, without hesitation, I went to rescue Sun Lao Gui.

  However, just as the brown bear's paws were about to pounce on Sun Lao Gui's body, Sun Lao Gui suddenly opened his eyes and rolled over to one side. With a loud "thud", the bear's front paws slapped onto the ground.

  But when Sun Lao Gui saw the brown bear in front of him, he was also shocked and jumped back instinctively, flipping his hand to grab the small flag and summoning the fierce ghost.

  But the brown bear didn't care about Sun Lao Gui, a sudden movement, and it let out a loud "roar" and rushed straight out of the cave.

  I stared blankly, my forehead covered in cold sweat. What's going on with this brown bear? The feeling I got was that it wasn't because we occupied its den, but rather... it was fleeing in panic?

  What else in this forest can make a several-ton brown bear rush away in panic?

  Just as he was puzzled, the sound of 'Wu Wu Wu' came from deep within the mountain cave, followed by a strong surge of yin energy rushing towards him. Sun Lao Gui's face turned pale with shock, and he muttered to himself, "How can there be such heavy yin energy here?"

  Dark energy swirled, spreading rapidly throughout the cave. The little ghost seemed to be enjoying itself, letting out two high-pitched "yip yip" cries before beginning to devour the dark energy. Even the male and female fierce ghosts that Sun Lao Gui had released began frantically absorbing it.

  This place is too strange, the yin energy is so heavy, there must be something terrifying, I'm a bit scared, just thinking about leaving quickly, but Sun Lao Gui seems to be very curious about the inside of the cave, and after hesitating for a moment, he says "Let's go in and take a look!"

  Having said that, he stepped forward, walking cautiously into the depths of the cave with a vigilant expression.

  I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, damn it, isn't this the case? The cave is deep and filled with eerie atmosphere, even that brown bear was scared away. Sun Lao Gui, you still want to go in and take a look?

  Isn't this seeking death?

  Sun Lao Gui saw me standing there in a daze and turned back to ask me "What are you still standing there for, hurry up!"

  I cursed under my breath and quickly followed him.

  Sun Lao Gui was also afraid of unexpected events and released both male and female fierce ghosts, with a fully guarded expression.

  This cave, the deeper you go, the narrower it becomes. In the end, only Sun Lao Gui and I can barely squeeze through. If that fatty from Longhu Mountain came, I reckon he'd get stuck here. Moreover, the cave is sloping downwards, giving me the feeling that it's leading to the interior of the dwarf mountain.

  Inside the dark cave, it was a silent and soundless place, only my footsteps and Sun Lao Gui's echoed from time to time. I didn't know how long we had walked, but I felt that the cave was getting narrower and narrower, until finally, it couldn't even be called a cave anymore, more like a seam in the ground.

  And the deeper I went, the heavier the yin energy became, hazy and misty, as if I was in a cold storage room, freezing me to shiver all over, with goosebumps rising on my skin.

  At this time, the old devil Sun in front suddenly stopped his footsteps and made a gesture of silence to me. I swallowed my saliva and looked forward with my head tilted.

  All I saw was that in front of us, a crack suddenly appeared. The space inside the crack seemed to be very large, and it wasn't pitch black, but rather a dull gray. Faintly, I seemed to see several shadows darting about in the gloomy air.

  That shadow was very strange and low, just like someone was crouching on the ground, crawling forward!

  My eyes were wide with fear, my face was tense, and cold sweat almost poured out from my forehead.

  What is this place and what are these shadows inside?

  And where does this yin energy come from?

  Just as I was stunned on the spot and panicked in my heart, Sun Lao Gui made a gesture to me, then his body crouched down and he drilled into the crack.

  I swallowed hard and stepped forward, not daring to stay here alone, so I steeled myself and crawled into the crevice.
