No taboos

Chapter 97 Decision (Fifth Update!)
Bai Laoyan finished eating the dried meat and brushed off the crumbs on his hands: "What about the town hall you were talking about just now?"

"I can swear that I will fulfill my promise once this mission is completed."

Bai Laoyan: "Then swear an oath."

Xu Yuan immediately raised his hand and swore an oath. The old hermit was very suspicious and would not believe it if he hesitated for a moment.

Bai Laoyan sneered and said, "Don't think we have no ability to bind you to your oath. Don't forget that this is Ghost Witch Mountain!"

Xu Yuan smiled bitterly: "I never intended to break my promise."

Bai Laoyan nodded and said, "Of these four, the easiest to deal with is actually the Locust Lady. She has given birth to a large number of offspring and grandchildren. Speaking of which, the whole family is so powerful that they can block out the sky and the sun.

But none of its descendants have become successful, and they rely entirely on their large numbers to kill people.

In fact, it had taken the wrong path. Initially, it gave birth to many offspring, and enjoyed considerable power in the mountains for a while. However, because it gave birth to so many, it used all its power to control them, and became stuck at the seventh-rate level, unable to rise any higher.

But if the monsters started fighting with each other, the descendants of the locust lady would swarm over them but would not be able to bite them.

But it has driven our descendants into a habit, and they can’t change it even if they want to.”

Bai Layan didn't tell you something, which was that the villages in the mountains, including Wangxiang Village, hated the locust lady the most.

The villagers also farmed and hunted, and the locust lady had many offspring, so of course they needed to eat. Whenever harvest season came, she would lead her offspring from village to village to "collect the harvest."

If the harvest is good, we will take 40% to 50%; if the harvest is bad, we will take 20% to 30%.

It also understands the principle of not "draining the pond to catch all the fish"! It always keeps the village's food and clothing line.

The villagers couldn't make up their minds to fight it to the death and could only swallow their anger.

As for the mountain people hunting, the prey they caught was snatched away by their offspring passing by, which is countless.

Bai Laoyan said, "I can deal with the locust lady, but I only have some folk remedies to temporarily drive away her descendants.

But in a life-or-death struggle, when the locust lady desperately urges her offspring to move, these folk remedies may not be effective."

He stretched out his palm, fingers spread out: "There is one thing I need to make clear first. If the locust lady and that Qin guy travel overnight, we will never be able to catch up with them.

But you still have to pay me five times the reward you promised me."

The expressions of Old Yan and the others immediately turned ugly. It turned out that the old hermit had also thought of this.

……

The sky had completely darkened, and in the mountains, everywhere, there seemed to be some invisible things, either hurriedly or slowly, passing by Lord Qin and his party.

Even Lord Qin felt several times that he was being targeted by something. If those things really rushed over, it would be difficult for him to escape!
Fortunately, these things didn't seem willing to compete with the locust lady. They just took a look and left reluctantly.

After walking for a while, the descendants of the locust lady became more and more agitated: they wanted to eat people!
The evil spirits at night are even more brutal and crazy. How can they bear it when there are such a group of living people emitting the fragrance of flesh and blood around them?
The locust lady suppressed it for a while.

There was some chaos among the descendants due to their dissatisfaction, and the Locust River team seemed somewhat disorganized and disorganized.

Suddenly, a shrill scream came from a distance!

A faint smell of blood wafted over.

It might be some unlucky merchant who didn’t make it to the village before dark and was caught and eaten by the evil spirits in the mountains!
The locusts became even more confused and kept begging for mercy from their grandmother.

The Locust Lady thought about it and made a decision:
In fact, as long as Lord Qin is still alive, it will not affect cooperation.

The rest of us are insignificant.

The Locust Lady secretly gave some instructions to her descendants: Don't be too obvious.

A moment later, a deformed ghost hand suddenly jumped out from the bushes nearby and grabbed Lord Qin's two men - the locust lady did not stop it.

The two men screamed as they were dragged into the woods. The Locust Lady pretended to be furious: "You're looking for death!"

A swarm of locusts followed and rushed into the woods, seemingly to snatch the man back. However, after entering the woods, they did not come out for a long time.

The Locust Lady said regretfully, "My descendants have done their best."

Lord Qin's eyes turned cold.

After a while, the group of locusts slowly crawled back, and some of them had blood on their mouths that had not been wiped clean!

Zeng Si had been secretly keeping a close eye on things. Following this large group of evil spirits all the way, he was already terrified. Now he was extremely certain that these evil spirits would not be able to resist eating us tonight!
They will only leave Lord Qin behind.

Zeng Si immediately grabbed Master Qin and went to the side, pleading in a low voice, "Master, help me!
I have followed you for twenty years!
"If you truly died for a great cause, I would die without regrets. But to be buried in vain by the evil spirit, I feel so wronged!"

Lord Qin turned around and looked at his other subordinates. Everyone was terrified and angry. Who couldn't understand what was going on?

If Lord Qin didn't protect them, I'm afraid the team would be in internal strife now.

"I'm not going any further." Lord Qin angrily said to the Locust Lady, "Stop and rest. Please ask the Ghost Temple to be your senior!"

In the darkness, a small temple suddenly appeared nearby.

On the first night after arriving in Qihetai Town, Zeng Si and others were still trembling with fear when entering the temple, but now they rushed in as if they had found a safe haven.

Lord Qin was the last one to go in. Just as Lady Locust was about to follow him in, Lord Qin closed the door and said, "You don't need to come in."

The locust lady snorted coldly, thinking to herself that you were so stingy. I only ate two of you and I even gave you face. Did anyone eat me in front of you?
It kicked the temple door in anger, causing its legs to hurt.

……

Xu Yuan suddenly had an idea and felt that his second fate, "Eight Directions of Injury", had some effect.

So I smiled secretly in my heart: It must be in time!

The "Eight Directions Injury Evil" did not affect Lord Qin, but the Locust Lady.

"I will definitely honor the reward I promised you!" Xu Yuan replied affirmatively, then added, "Also, I'll take care of those descendants of the Locust Lady."

Old Bai glanced at Xu Yuan with a sidelong glance, obviously not believing it.

A few days ago, you had to rely on the village's help to get rid of Wu Haishan.

Xu Yuan smiled and said, "I'm not bragging."

Bai Laoyan nodded and said, "Let's talk about the ghost temple statue. This monster has more than 20 small temples inside and outside the mountain. After the Ming people came, they all destroyed them.

The last one was in Miaopo Village, but it disappeared decades ago.

Under its seat was a pair of young boys and girls, both of whom had turned into evil spirits.

The virgin can capture people to play games, and unless they beat her in the game, they will only be food in her mouth.

But the rules of the game were set by the little devil girl, and nine out of ten people cannot win.

There are three will-o'-the-wisp flames on the boy's head and shoulders: one that burns his body, one that burns his soul, and one that burns his heart! The one that burns his heart is the most difficult to deal with. If the little ghost sees through any evil thoughts in his heart, it will ignite and turn him into a demon.

Old Yan asked, "Does the ghost temple resemble me?"

"It can build a temple. Those outside the temple cannot enter, and those inside the temple cannot leave!"

　I finished writing around 10pm, lay down to rest for a while and fell asleep...

　　So it's a little later.

　　I would also like to ask for your opinions. When is the best time to update?

　　Also, I will always ask for your monthly vote!
