However, with that brief moment of being stunned, my subsequent slash was inevitably a bit slow!
No wonder, it was truly unexpected!
The footsteps earlier were shockingly loud, especially when I started running; the sound became almost deafening, as if some colossal creature was barreling towards me. In fact, it created the illusion that a giant was charging right at me!
And the result turned out to be a Ghost Infant!?
The stark contrast between reality and my mental fantasy left my brain unable to react in that instant!
Moreover, this Ghost Infant was incredibly fast, darting around like a race car powered by a six-cylinder engine. It flashed past me with a grin, moving like lightning.
Due to this series of reasons, my sword swing was indeed slow. The momentum of the strike was difficult to control; I could only follow through with the chop. The Azure Dark Sword unleashed a half-meter-long Killing Intent as it crashed down onto the decaying blue bricks of the alley. With a loud bang, bricks and stones flew everywhere, and the ground trembled violently, nearly collapsing several nearby dilapidated buildings and leaving me drenched in cold sweat!
Then I turned to look at the Ghost Infant.
At that moment, the Ghost Infant had already burrowed into a box beside my right hand, its bare bottom wiggling as it dashed away. Its little behind swayed back and forth, kicking up a cloud of yellow dust while it giggled with a "kekekeke" sound. In the blink of an eye, it had vanished into the distance. I could vaguely see it running about a hundred meters to the right before turning around and crashing through a wooden gate into a courtyard.
What the hell? Is it playing with me?
I felt a wave of frustration as I got up from the ground, covered in dirt, clutching my Hundred Slicing Blade.
"Was that really a Ghost Infant?"
Big Mouth Lee finally caught up, panting heavily as he asked me.
I nodded.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I nodded, Lu Jianguo jumped out to contradict me, sneering, "What do you know? That’s not a Ghost Infant; it’s a Guman Child!"
Guman Child?
I was taken aback and turned to look at Lu Jianguo in confusion.
Lu Jianguo chuckled, "Let me ask you, does that ghost have a sun-shaped ornament on its forehead?"
"Yes!"
I had indeed seen that, and at the time, I found it a bit strange, but since I didn’t recognize it, I didn’t think much of it.
"Then that's it; it's definitely a Guman Child!"
Lu Jianguo continued slowly, "That ornament on the forehead is called the Enlightened Spirit Mirror. It’s the key object for controlling a Guman Child! Our country's Taoist Sect believes that a person's Wisdom Light resides in the Spirit Cap. Therefore, they have developed a series of calming and purifying items targeting the Spirit Cap. In Southeast Asia, however, they believe that the door to wisdom is located on the forehead. So to unlock spiritual intelligence, one must first work on the forehead. Both sides focus on the area of the brain where nerves are most developed; there’s some logic to it!
As for what a Guman Child is, I think you understand; it’s essentially a Ghost Infant. A Ghost Infant is confused and only knows hatred because after waiting for countless lifetimes for a chance to be reincarnated as a human, it ends up being abruptly cut off and dies. Naturally, it harbors deep resentment and is very difficult to control! To manage a Guman Child, some Southeast Asian Dragon Ladies and Monks created this Enlightened Spirit Mirror to suppress the Ghost Infant's malevolence while infusing their essence into the mirror and signing a blood contract with the Ghost Infant. This transforms it into a Guman Child that can be manipulated to do tasks.
Of course, only genuine Guman Children are like this. As for those on the market, eight out of ten are complete fakes; they don’t even have an Enlightened Spirit Mirror or require blood contracts. They are just dead infants exploited by unscrupulous merchants without any safety guarantees. If you bring one back and treat it well—and if it's relatively kind—you might gain some blessings. But after all, it’s still a ghost; while it's easy to invite one in, getting rid of it later can be quite difficult. If you're unlucky, no matter how well you treat the ghost you brought back, it may demand your entire family's lives!
At this point, Lu Jianguo added, "I noticed that the Guman Child we just saw was short and clearly didn’t look like a child born after ten months of gestation; it resembles an early-deceased child. It seems more like an Earth Spirit Guardian—an ancient dead infant extracted from its mother’s womb to become a Guman Child. Its resentment is even greater, making it even harder to control! Tsk tsk, such an authentic Earth Spirit Guardian is quite rare!"
An Earth Spirit Guardian so precious could not simply be obtained with money; it likely did not come from an ordinary family!
In addition, there is something strange about the place where this thing appeared, so there is only one possibility. This Earth Spirit Guardian is the Necromancer, and the other party is still staying here and not leaving! Is this good news? Everyone is speechless! "Let's go and meet the guest who came from afar!" I breathed out gently. It was the first time I faced such a foreign master. I was still a little nervous, but I was also vaguely looking forward to it. Lin The majestic world blueprint that Qing sketched for me ignited the fire in my heart. This time, perhaps it is a starting point. The most important thing is that when foreign masters come to invade, why should they cause Rongcheng to cause trouble in the first place? After walking into the alley on the right, the Earth Spirit Guardian never jumped out to cause trouble for me. We arrived at the courtyard where the Earth Spirit Guardian disappeared very smoothly. At this time, the Peach Leaf on my chest had been burned out, so I replaced it with a third one. The main function of this Peach Leaf is to ward off evil spirits and prevent me from being caught off guard. However, the Peach Leaf on my chest This is also the last one. In such a ghostly place, this thing is very useful! This door was actually in a state of decay a long time ago. The meridians of the wood on it were all protruding, and it looked particularly ferocious. When I pushed it, there was an overwhelming sound of "squeaking". As soon as the door opened, a deserted courtyard suddenly appeared in front of us. However, I didn't have time to observe the surrounding environment. As soon as I entered the yard, I was attracted by a figure on the square roof. Although it was far away, I still recognized it at a glance, it was the Earth Spirit Guardian that teased me just now!
At that moment, the creature was sitting on the edge of the roof, laughing at me with a mocking grin. Its two thin black legs dangled in the air, swaying back and forth, exuding an air of arrogance that made my teeth itch with anger.
"Hahahahaha!"
Without warning, a hoarse burst of laughter echoed from the main room, followed by a male voice speaking in broken Mandarin: "It took no effort at all to get here! You bastard, I've been waiting for you here for a whole month! You finally came!"
There was no doubt; the voice belonged to the Necromancer!
From what he said, he had been waiting for me?
He had done so many insane things just to lure me here?
In that instant, my mind raced with countless thoughts, and many questions seemed to resolve themselves. It turned out I had been going in circles, and now the blade was aimed directly at me. This was the moment when everything would be revealed! But when did I ever offend this monster?
Before I could ponder further, the Earth Spirit Guardian perched on the roof suddenly stood up. It threw its head back and let out a piercing scream that shattered the tranquility of the night.
Even more terrifying was that at the moment the Earth Spirit Guardian screamed, countless shrill cries erupted from the desolate wilderness surrounding Desolate Village.
