Wanjiang Ghost Hand attempted to channel the Eerie Aura within him, hoping to burst forth from that ghostly face. However, he suddenly realized that all the Eerie Aura inside him had vanished; he was now just a Soul without any Cultivation.
“Why is this happening? What have you done to my body?” Wanjiang Ghost Hand asked, his voice trembling with panic.
“Heh heh, Trash Fish, there's no need to be so surprised. The Eerie Aura within you hasn't disappeared; it has merely been suppressed by me!” The ghostly face spoke in a sinister tone. At that moment, it twisted its neck, and the Eerie Aura around it became agitated. Looking into Wanjiang Ghost Hand's eyes, it said in a low voice, “Trash Fish, you made the right decision by not venturing deeper into the forest, because now you will become my meal. Heh heh.”
After finishing its words, the ghostly face suddenly opened its mouth and lunged toward Wanjiang Ghost Hand inside its body.
“Please, no! I beg you, don’t kill me! I am willing to offer everything I have; I will serve you as my master!” Wanjiang Ghost Hand pleaded, his voice shaking as he continuously backed away. He tried to evade the approaching mouth, but with no Cultivation left and his body trapped within that ghostly face, there was nowhere for him to escape.
“Crunch~~ Crunch~~” The sound of chewing echoed from within the ghostly face as it bit down on Wanjiang Ghost Hand, swallowing him whole.
After a while, Wanjiang Ghost Hand’s body was completely consumed by the ghostly face. It let out a satisfied burp and swayed slightly before transforming into wisps of Eerie Aura, re-entering the large tree.
The tree sprouted green leaves once more, and the previously exploded fruits of the Yinling Flower had regrown, even in greater numbers than before.
In the Ghost Realm, there has always been a saying about the Yinling Flower: “Two blooms of the Yinling Flower, evil fruit from the Yin flower, spiritual fruit from the spirit flower. Evil fruit aids malevolence; Spirit Fruit guides the virtuous.”
The large tree before me bore the evil fruit of the Yin flower from the Twin Soul Spirit Flower. The fruits on it were transformed from its internal Eerie Aura, serving as bait to lure others.
However, this dual-blooming Yinling Flower is extremely rare, so few people remember this saying. In fact, many are unaware of the existence of dual-blooming Yinling Flowers. For instance, I had no knowledge of this matter.
After more than ten minutes, I finally arrived in front of this large tree. Seeing the numerous fruits hanging from its branches filled me with an unreal feeling. I rubbed my eyes to confirm what I was seeing and found that nothing had changed. Unable to contain myself, I exclaimed, “Wow, how strange! So many fruits of the Yinling Flower, yet those ghosts haven’t picked them all!”
"Something unusual must be going on!" I had a strong intuition that the large tree before me was hiding something. Otherwise, those Ghostly Beings would never abandon so many Yinling Flowers' fruits.
Holding my Demon-Subduing Staff, I cautiously approached the tree, stopping ten steps away. Despite knowing that the tree was suspicious, the abundance of Yinling Flowers' fruits tempted me to see if I could pick some.
"What is it about this tree that seems so strange?" I muttered to myself, frowning as I circled around it, searching for clues.
"Ah? There are so many Footprints on the ground; this clearly indicates that the Ghostly Beings have been here. But where did they go?" I observed the Footprints closely and noticed they all led deeper into the forest.
"How odd. What could have attracted those Ghostly Beings to abandon these Yinling Flowers' fruits?" My brow furrowed in confusion. I noted that the Ghostly Beings hadn't destroyed the dead trees by the roadside; they seemed to be in a hurry, with no time to deal with anything else.
I turned back to look at the large tree, hesitation flickering in my eyes. I touched my ear and said, "Should I venture deeper into the forest? There's only this one tree here, and I haven't seen any strange beings like the Ghost Bird. Could there be something even more precious hidden deeper in the woods than these Yinling Flowers' fruits?"
"I don't believe it; I'm going to check out the depths of the forest. I can't let those Ghostly Beings take all the good stuff!" A glint of determination flashed in my eyes as a plan formed in my mind. After all, this tree would still be here when I returned, and I'd have another chance to pick those fruits.
Just as I turned to leave, a fruit suddenly fell from the tree and landed at my feet.
"Eh? What's going on?" I looked at the fruit on the ground, feeling uneasy. The timing and location of its fall seemed too coincidental, as if someone had orchestrated it deliberately.
I focused on the fruit and noticed something was off; it was unusually large. While normal fruits are about the size of a walnut, this one was as big as a watermelon, looking particularly bizarre.
"What on earth is this?" I wondered aloud, pushing the fruit with my Demon-Subduing Staff.
To my shock, as I nudged it, it rolled halfway over, revealing a pale Face within my line of sight. It dawned on me that this was not a Yinling Flower's fruit at all but rather a severed head.
"Wow, that's terrifying!" I took a closer look and realized that the owner of that head looked somewhat familiar; it seemed to belong to one of the leaders from the previous encounter with the Ghostly Beings.
The moment I saw that head, my heart sank deeper into unease. I quickly stepped back a few paces, distancing myself from the large tree, while simultaneously glancing up at the fruits hanging from its branches.
I swallowed nervously and speculated aloud, "These fruits can't all be human heads, can they? Could it be that those Ghostly Beings were consumed by this tree? And those footprints leading into the depths of the forest—were they not searching for treasure but rather fleeing from this tree's pursuit?"
As I was lost in these thoughts, a face materialized on the trunk of the tree. It opened its hollow eyes and stared intently at me, then spoke in a chilling tone, "Hehe, ghost, don't be afraid. I won't harm you!"
"Come a little closer, and I'll show you something good! All the fruits of my Yinling Flowers can be yours!"
