I survive in the weird Liaozhai

After looking at the scene of bones and corpses scattered all over the cave, Gu Nian'an was silent for a while.

Although Gu Nian'an is not a good person, he is at least still a human being.

Seeing so many of his kind being slaughtered by monsters, the anger and murderous intent in his heart almost burst out.

Moreover, most of the corpses in this cave are so young, they must be children.

So today, no matter what, he would find a way to kill that ghost thing, otherwise he was afraid that he would have nightmares in the future.

At this moment, Gu Nian'an gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, scanning every corner of the cave with cold eyes.

However, as he observed more deeply, his mood became heavier and his heart sank.

What the fuck, there are at least dozens of holes of all sizes in this cave. Some are as small as a washbasin, and even the largest one is too small to accommodate an adult.

Therefore, it is very unfavorable to fight here. If you fail to kill the ghost baby with one blow and let it run into the narrow hole, it will be difficult to kill it again.

Moreover, he saw that the ghost baby's blood had spread to a narrow hole, and as an adult, it was impossible for him to enter.

Gu Nian stood quietly without moving, because he could feel a cold and resentful gaze staring at him in the dark.

It seems that this ghost has become bolder after returning to its home ground. Want revenge? Fine.

What he was most worried about at this moment was that this ghost thing would run away without saying a word. Since it wanted revenge, he might as well give it a chance.

Gu Nian'an gently moved his hand away from the hilt of the knife, tried to relax his body, and slowly closed his eyes.

It is not a good place for him to fight here. If he is not careful, the ghost baby will escape. So he should fight quickly and decisively. It is worth taking a little risk.

The ghost baby lay quietly deep in the cave, with drops of black blood dripping from its body. Its pair of dark eyes emitting astonishing resentment stared at the figure standing in the cave.

Only when it saw the figure in the cave relax its vigilance did it slightly curl its mouth, revealing its sharp, saw-like teeth.

Then he turned around and crawled silently into the depths of the cave.

All the caves here are connected, and the ghost baby is small, so it has no problem passing through the narrow caves.

It crawled along the interconnected caves and slowly stopped moving when it reached a cave behind Gu Nian'an.

The ghost baby stared at the figure below for a while, until it was sure that the person below had completely relaxed his guard.

With a fierce light flashing in its eyes, it jumped out of the cave and stretched out its sharp black claws to attack Gu Nian'an's back.

"call"

A strong wind blew at his back, and the ghost baby's black claws flashed with cold light. They were sharper than the magic weapon that could cut through iron like mud, and they grabbed straight into his back.

A cold murderous intent attacked him from behind. Gu Nian'an's ears moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved up. Finally, what he had been waiting for came to pass.

Just when the ghost baby was about to approach him, suddenly a deep blue electric light appeared, broke away from his body, and spread directly three feet away. A layer of light arc enveloped his whole body, as if he was covered with a blue halo.

"Chong"

A violent electric arc burst out from the dark blue light shield, and a huge explosion of metal clashing broke out between the light shield and the pitch-black claws, and the ghost baby's body froze in mid-air.

At the same time, a lot of black smoke and a burnt smell rose from it.

In an instant, the deep blue arc of light disappeared.

"boom"

The ghost baby was flung several meters away, lying on the ground with black smoke all over its body and twitching continuously.

Gu Nian'an barely supported himself with one hand, half-knelt on the ground, his whole body twitching violently.

After the situation eased a little, Gu Nian'an reluctantly turned his head to check the situation behind him.

I saw the ghost baby not far behind me, its body burnt to a crisp, with light blue electric arcs jumping on its body from time to time, and gray-black smoke continuing to spread.

But as time went by, the frequency of the ghost baby's body trembling decreased, and the gray-black mist stopped dissipating. Its charred little hands slowly grasped the ground, and it crawled out of the cave bit by bit with difficulty.

Seeing this scene, Gu Nian'an's face turned grim, he clenched his teeth, struggled for a while, but finally failed to get up from the ground.

This damn thing is so lucky that it hasn't been killed even with this.

My attack just now was too early. If I had waited a moment longer, I would have been able to kill the enemy with one strike.

But this ultimate move has just been developed, and it is impossible to use it freely.

However, the current situation is not too bad. In about half a quarter of an hour, I should be able to regain the ability to move. As long as the ghost baby does not run too far, I should still have a chance.

Time passed little by little, and the charred body of the ghost baby crawled out of the cave little by little, gradually disappearing into the darkness.

After a while, Gu Nian'an stuck his long sword into the ground, stood up with difficulty, and walked slowly out of the cave with the help of the long sword.

After walking out of the cave, he followed the ghost baby's crawling traces all the way towards the mountains and forests for hundreds of meters, and then looked at the crawling traces that had disappeared on the ground.

Gu Nian'an couldn't help but feel a headache. His ultimate move just now had stopped the bleeding of the ghost baby, but now it seemed that it would not work to track it by following the blood trail.

The most likely place for the ghost baby to go now should be Li Mansion, but there are too many routes to Li Mansion, so if you start chasing it rashly now, the chance of encountering the ghost baby is less than 10%.

As for going to Li's house to block people, the method is feasible, but it is the lair of the big boss after all, and if you are not careful, you may easily get yourself into trouble.

Moreover, I have a better way to solve this problem. Although it may be a little dangerous, things have come to this point and I have no choice but to do it.

After some thought, Gu Nian'an returned to the cave entrance, found a slightly flat bluestone, and sat cross-legged to meditate.

The previous fight had consumed a lot of energy, so he needed to rest for a while. Also, he needed to wait for Xu Chongxiao and the others to arrive. He thought that they should be able to find the traces he had left along the way.

The sun rises in the east, the warm sunlight fills the earth, and two agile figures quickly shuttle through the woods.

Xu Chongxiao and Wang Jie have been chasing the ghost baby and the Taoist priest since they rushed out of Tingfeng Cottage last night.

But because of the blocking of the city gate, they could only continue the pursuit after the city gate was opened in the early morning.

Fortunately, Taoist Nian'an used violence to clear the way and left obvious traces, so they did not lose the direction of their pursuit.

The two walked through the dense forest for dozens of miles, and finally saw a figure in Taoist robes sitting cross-legged in meditation at the foot of a mountain.

Hearing the noise, Gu Nian'an stood up and opened his eyes. He was a little surprised to see who was coming. He expected Xu Chongxiao to come, but Wang Jie's arrival really surprised him.

After facing the ghost baby head-on, he still had the courage to get involved. I can only say that his courage is commendable.

After two hours of speeding through the forest, both of them are now in a state of distress.

When Xu Chongxiao arrived at Gu Nian'an's place, he was the first to clasp his hands and say

"Did the Taoist priest eradicate the evil spirits?"

"The ghost baby was seriously injured but I was unable to do my best and let it run away." Gu Nian'an felt a little regretful about this.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chongxiao's eyes dimmed slightly, but he didn't say much. He had witnessed the power of the ghost baby yesterday. If it weren't for the help of Taoist Nian An, he would have been a corpse now.

Wang Jie, who was standing quietly at one side, looked at Gu Nian'an's strange eyes with some suspicion, his eyes slightly stunned.

It was not until Gu Nian'an shifted her gaze to him that Wang Jie subconsciously lowered his head and dared not look at her.

"Young Master Wang, have you made all the arrangements in Tingfeng Cottage?"

Hearing Gu Nian'an's question, Wang Jie hurriedly responded with a bow.

"Master Nian'an, don't worry. When I left, I arranged for guards to seal off Tingfeng Lodge. No accidents will happen."

Last night's experience was still somewhat stimulating for Wang Jie, so his attitude towards Gu Nian'an has become much more respectful.

Gu Nian'an looked at the two people standing quietly in front of him, his eyes fluctuated slightly, but he still pointed to the cave not far away from his side.

"Go in and take a look. The people you are looking for should be inside."
