My great-granddaughter cried at the wrong grave, and I climbed out to correct it!

Chapter 85 Plague Downgrade

Chen Dong and another ghost controller just died suddenly after walking out of the black fog.

Although he still didn't know the reason, Li Erpao immediately asked everyone to retreat.

Don't stop until you are sure that no one has any more accidents.

Two team members suddenly died one after another. Everyone was shocked and could not recover, and they did not even dare to move their bodies.

I'm afraid I've run into some hidden rules again.

If someone like the ghost tree appears in front of them and attacks them, even if they die, they will die more clearly. They will be a little prepared and not so afraid.

But this way of death is too weird right now, and it won't give anyone any time to prepare.

Xie Xiaozhang covered his mouth tightly with his hands and huddled next to Xie Heng in panic.

The death scenes of Chen Dong and the others were so terrible that just looking at them would make you feel uncomfortable.

One was skinned all over, one had two holes in his stomach, his intestines and internal organs were torn out, and he lay on the ground like rotten flesh.

Across the dividing line of black mist, Li Erpao observed the bodies of Chen Dong and others from a distance.

"The evil spirit awakened by Captain Chen is ghost skin, and the evil spirit awakened by Liang Zhaobin is ghost miasma..."

Li Erpao muttered in a low voice.

Changming City is right next to Xudu City, and Li Erpao is still familiar with Chen Dong and the others in the Ghost Control Team.

Needless to say, Chen Dong had ghost skin covering his whole body, while the ghost miasma of Liang Zhaobin, the two-star ghost master, was awakened in the large intestine.

Just like Li Erpao, although the evil ghost is ghost hair, the location of its awakening is the stomach. Every time he releases the evil ghost, he spits out ghost hair from his stomach.

"Has the evil spirit been stripped away?"

Jiang Zhefan asked.

Once a ghost master awakens an evil spirit, there is no turning back.

Regardless of the reason why the evil spirit is stripped away, both the ghost master and the evil spirit will die.

Judging from the death scenes of Chen Dong and Liang Zhaobin, they both died suddenly after the body parts of the awakened evil spirits were stripped off.

"It seems that it should be so."

Li Erpao responded.

Everyone was silent, no one dared to act rashly.

The bloody corpses of Chen Dong and the others were there. If they stepped out of the black mist, they would probably end up like them.

"What's going on? You were fine when you came in... Why can't you go back?!"

Someone said anxiously.

It was so weird. Although the black fog affected their vision, they didn't feel any physical discomfort from the beginning to the end while they were in it.

Could it be that I can never step out of the black mist again?There must be some reason, right?

"Are we under a curse? Is this black mist a curse?"

Li Erpao said seriously.

Apart from this possibility, he could think of no other reason.

"A ghost curse!?"

"It's impossible. It's not unrecorded on the website of the Ghost Control Team's headquarters. Only evil ghosts whose level has reached the plague level can have the ability to cast ghost curses."

"There can't be evil spirits that have been demoted from the plague in Xiangyang Village?!"

The captain of the Xige Ghost Control Team quickly retorted.

Originally, during their wild ghost operation, the superiors judged and predicted the situation based on big data. Normally, they would only encounter fear-level evil ghosts, and at most, soul-destroying level ghosts.

An outrageous evil ghost combination like the previous combination of ghost tree and willow fire is dangerous enough.

If it weren't for Xie Heng's presence, the ghost tree and ghost fire alone would have been enough for them to make it back here alive.

Now it’s said that it’s not just the soul-stirring level, but there may even be plague-leveled evil spirits?Not only the captain of the Xige Ghost Control Team, but others also didn't want to believe it.

"Deputy Commander Li, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Some people couldn't help but retort.

Next to Xie Xiaozhang, Jiang Zhefan explained to her in a low voice: "The ghost curse is an ability that only evil spirits who have been demoted from the plague can have. It is to cast a ghost curse on people. There are also different rules. Once someone is cursed, they will be touched." The ghost curse does not allow touching the taboo, then you will be punished.”

"The punishment may not be death, but it will most likely be death."

"Every evil ghost that has been discovered, as well as its known abilities, are recorded on the official website of our Ghost Control Headquarters. When you get out, you can go and see more to get familiar with them."

Xie Heng suddenly realized that it seems that the classification of human and evil spirits is very particular.

Just like only evil ghosts at the soul-stirring level can have ghosts, only evil ghosts who have reached the plague level can have ghost curses, and it doesn't matter if they are one level lower.

Xie Xiaozhang nodded as if he understood, and then asked: "Then the ghost curse and taboo we are under now means that we cannot get out of the black mist, otherwise the punishment will be that the evil ghosts in the body will be stripped away?"

He just listened to the conversation between Li Erpao and the others in front of him, and it seemed like this was what he said.

"I'm not sure yet whether it's a ghost curse, but at the moment it seems that it's at least certain that I can't get out of the black mist. No one dares to try anymore."

Jiang Zhefan replied.

Two people have already died, who dares to put his life in danger?

Xie Xiaozhang lowered her head and thought, if the punishment was to strip the evil spirit from her body, would something happen to her and Grandpa Zeng?

Although now as an 'ancestral Jinchuuriki', she is mixed among a group of ghost masters.

But after all, there are no evil spirits in the body, so will it not be stripped away?

"Just speculation...I hope not."

Li Erpao sighed, he was just guessing at the highest possibility.

As of now, three of the five members of the Changming City detachment, including three locals, have died. Of course, Li Erpao doesn't want to see anyone sacrifice anymore.

"Let's not scare ourselves first, wait where we are, and don't rush out of the black fog."

"It's past the mission time now. Commander Zhang will send more people to rescue us soon."

Li Erpao reassured everyone.

The remaining ghost masters could only listen to Li Erpao and wait for rescue. After all, there was really no other better way.

At this time, you can't go back. The deeper you go into Xiangyang Village, the stronger the ghost energy will be and the greater the danger will be.

But looking at the bodies of Chen Dong and others not far away, they still felt uncomfortable.

At the same time, they were filled with fear, fearing that they themselves would die suddenly like Chen Dong and the others.

The ghost masters each found a place to adjust and rest. After a long time, there was no new movement in Xiangyang Village, and the tense atmosphere relaxed slightly.

"Old Li..."

Jiang Zhefan and Liu Hao came to Li Erpao.

Li Erpao patted Jiang Zhefan on the shoulder, looked at Xie Xiaozhang and the others, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to get out."

In fact, he didn't know what to do. Since the two soul-stirring evil spirits, Ghost Tree and Ghost Fire, appeared at the same time, this wild ghost operation had already exceeded the original mission level.

If it were really the curse of a plague that was lowered by an evil spirit, things would be very serious.

If he had just been promoted to a star, and his entire army was wiped out on his first mission, he would be too embarrassed to be buried back in Xudu.

Xie Xiaozhang glanced around, looked back at the bodies of Chen Dong and the others, and immediately felt something was wrong.

It was clear just now that the corpse was not that far away, but why did the corpse seem to be much further away.

Xie Xiaozhang took a closer look, and then he was shocked and shouted: "The captain is in trouble, the black fog is shrinking!!"

Li Erpao turned around suddenly and saw only two members of the Xige Ghost Control Team sitting under the tree and taking a nap. Their bodies had clearly touched the edge of the black fog.
