No one notified me in advance. Everyone in the end times is crazy.

[To have managed to survive his disciples' schemes until now, this old man must have some other hidden abilities. We must not take him lightly.]

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

"nothing."

"After talking so much, I'm a little hungry."

Crazy Bai got off the ox, took the basket the ox had been holding in its mouth, sat down against the ox, lifted the cloth covering the basket, took out a piece of dried meat from it, handed it to Luo Shiyu, and asked, "Brother, do you want some?"

There was an indescribable look of disgust on Luo Shiyu's face.

"If you don't eat it, who knows what kind of meat it is."

"Haha~ It's just normal beef."

"Where did this cow come from in the wild..." Luo Shiyu's pupils suddenly dilated and he looked at Abo who was lying on the ground and looking for help with his eyes.

What a lunatic!

Crazy Bai held the dried meat in his mouth, picked up a handful of grass and fed it to the cow. With his other hand, he stroked the cow's back and said in a low and strange voice, "Abo~Abo~you must eat the grass and live well~Our karma has not yet been resolved."

Abo turned his head away with obvious resistance, but when he saw Crazy Bai reaching out to grab the erhu, he immediately lowered his head and ate grass obediently.

[That erhu is indeed quite something. Be careful.]

"Bro."

"Ok?"

"Would you like some milk?"

"Abo is a woman?"

"A male, but now a cow."

A flash of disgust crossed Luo Shiyu's face. He really didn't want to stay with this lunatic for even a second longer, so he asked bluntly, "What on earth do you want from me?"

"I need you to help me lead out my last disciple. To end this karma, you must kill her. This applies to both me and you. As long as she's not killed, the marks on your body will remain. This is like declaring war on all scavengers."

"Are you forcibly binding your karma to me?"

"You are the one who interfered with my karma."

"What a cunning old man! He actually plotted against me. While it wouldn't hurt for me to cooperate, I can't let my guard down."

"Okay, I accept my fate. Tell me, what's that person's name, and what abilities does the ghost have."

"I always called her Erya. As for her given name... I think it was Hongyuan. I forgot her last name."

"Where's the ghost?"

"Ghosts? These things are not popular outside our city."

"What? How do you deal with ghosts? And what's with the soul pressure?"

"What you call soul power is called qi to us. Children born outside the city begin cultivating it from birth. As for methods of dealing with those ghostly things, each place has its own methods. There are those who refine souls, those who control ghosts, and even those who directly change their own aura like me. There are many different methods."

"I know about soul refining, but what is ghost control?"

"That thing is extremely evil. It usually selects a woman who has lived a life of luxury since childhood, subjects her to a series of inhuman tortures, and then makes her pregnant. When she is about to give birth, they torture her to the point of near death. Then they take a special bead and stuff it into her mouth, forcing her to take her last breath, unable to rise or fall. The fetus born from this moment is a ghost fetus. As long as the mother is nurturing it, the ghost will naturally be obedient."

"What a bastard!"

"This is just the basics, the most inhumane..."

Luo Shiyu interrupted him: "Okay! I don't want to listen anymore."

"Is that unacceptable? You're right. For people like you who have lived in the city since birth, this chaotic life outside the city is truly too cruel."

"It has nothing to do with me. I just want to cut off ties with you as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay, okay, Arya is good at controlling insects, you have to be careful."

"What bug?"

Crazy Bai did not answer Luo Shiyu's question. He stood up from the ground by holding the cow's back, patted the dirt off his pants, and rode the cow away.

The sound of the bells grew farther and farther away until it disappeared...

The surroundings became unusually quiet, so quiet that Luo Shiyu felt uneasy.

What should I do next? I feel like I've been sold out by that crazy old man.

Xiaobai: "Master, be careful. I sense something coming."

Luo Shiyu pulled out the sickle embedded in the soil and looked around vigilantly.

Where is it? I don't see anything.

Xiaobai: "Getting closer, I can't sense the exact location... Here it comes!"

Luo Shiyu felt the ground beneath his feet was empty, and reacted quickly, placing the sickle horizontally to block the "hole".

[Where did this huge pit come from? ]

The entrance to the cave began to shake violently, and as the sickle blade slid down, red liquid seeped out from the wall.

[Blood? Don't tell me a hole this big is... a bug's mouth!]

The giant worm crawled out of the soil and shook its head, trying to get rid of the foreign object in its mouth.

Luo Shiyu gripped the hilt of the knife tightly and swung it in the air like a noodle.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! This is more exciting than a roller coaster!"

The sickle blade stuck in the giant insect's mouth wall loosened, and Luo Shiyu and the sickle were thrown out from a height of more than ten meters.

I don't know how many trees it knocked down on the way, and finally it stopped after falling on an old building built before the war.

The building had been in disrepair for many years and had been eroded by rain and vines for many years. Suddenly, it collapsed completely after being hit by Luo Shiyu, burying him completely.

[Fuck! My bone is broken again!]

Luo Shiyu was lying in the ruins, with broken bones in his limbs and blood flowing down his forehead. The blood flowed through his right eye, causing him to be completely unable to open his eye. He could only vaguely see the current situation with his left eye.

He swallowed back the blood that was rushing into his mouth. Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer outside, Luo Shiyu wished he could rush out and fight her for three hundred rounds.

Just as he opened his mouth to shout, he heard Xiaobai say, "Shh~ Master, someone is coming."

Luo Shiyu held his breath and pretended to be dead.

Through the cracks in the ruins, a red figure can be vaguely seen, and countless earthworms are wriggling under her skin.

"How powerful did I think you were? I listened to you plotting with that old man for so long, but it turns out you were just his abandoned pawn. You should never, ever... trust him."

There was the sound of cow hooves and bells again, but this time the sound was particularly harsh.

"I found you... I found you... Arya..."

"Fuck Erya! I have a name! Remember, my name is Chu Hongyuan."

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."

Luo Shiyu hid in the ruins and watched the two of them fighting silently. He saw that the back of the crazy Bai gradually swelled up into a hump, and then exploded. Hundreds of bees flew out from inside and attacked Chu Hongyuan.

Chu Hongyuan was not to be outdone. Her body blended into the earth like mud. Several giant earthworms emerged from the ground, bypassing the bees and attacking Crazy Bai directly.

[Wow~ Bugs are fighting.]

Xiao Hei: "Master, who do you think will win?"

I think it's me.

Xiao Hei: “Ah?”

As the saying goes, when the clams fight, the fisherman benefits! To paraphrase Crazy Bai, I must determine my own karma.

Xiao Hei: "Great! Kill them both together and leave no one alive!"

"What are you so happy about? Forget it, while they all think I'm dead and are fighting fiercely, I should rest quickly. They'll be in trouble soon."
