Chapter 1846: Chapter 1691: Escape Game 43
Miao Shuangshuang was fine, she just felt a bit nauseous at the sudden scene, but Xiao Zhongjing, on the other hand, couldn’t handle the shocking sight.
The key point was that it wasn’t just terrifying, the most terrifying part was how nauseating it was! The visual impact was accompanied by a foul stench, and while he could hold back his fear from screaming, it was nearly impossible to suppress the physical reaction of nausea.
So, when Xiao Zhongjing saw the scene, he vomited, retching out loud! There was nothing he could do; he wanted to hold it in, but his stomach had its own ideas.
The rotten human head, after nauseating and making Xiao Zhongjing puke, suddenly turned around on its own, looking at Miao Shuangshuang with its rotten eyeballs.
This scene, though eerie, didn’t scare Miao Shuangshuang; she was more troubled by how disgusting it was—she didn’t want to touch it, unsure of how to handle it.
However, before Miao Shuangshuang could figure out how to deal with this disgusting thing, the head attacked her first.
The head suddenly opened its mouth wide, its mouth corners stretching to behind the ears, turning into a gaping black hole!
Rotten black blood flowed from the head’s black-hole mouth, the stench growing stronger, and the entire head turned into a shadow, suddenly lunging at Miao Shuangshuang.
Miao Shuangshuang found it disgusting and her first reaction was to pull out a short sword from her weapon space, fiercely slashing the head into two halves.
The head was split in half by Miao Shuangshuang’s sword, falling to the left and right on the ground, spilling black brains everywhere, making it even more disgusting with an overwhelming stench threatening to cause retching.
But there was no escaping black smoke of Yin Qi from the head’s wounds, making Miao Shuangshuang’s heart leap, realizing it wasn’t real; it was an Illusion Realm by an Evil Ghost!
Miao Shuangshuang almost instinctively reacted; upon discovering the head was an Illusion of the Evil Ghost, she swiftly turned around, swinging her short sword in a circle beside her body, fiercely slashing behind her.
At the same time, Miao Shuangshuang’s left hand swiftly pulled out a Guardian Talisman from her weapon space and slapped it onto Xiao Zhongjing’s back as he was still bent over, vomiting.
The Guardian Talisman, once placed on Xiao Zhongjing’s back, quickly self-ignited, transforming into a transparent Protective Shield, protecting his entire body in the blink of an eye.
The moment the Protective Shield appeared, an Evil Ghost with a blue face and fierce fangs hit the Protective Shield around Xiao Zhongjing with a thud, failing to stop its momentum.
Meanwhile, behind Miao Shuangshuang, a piercing ghost wail echoed. A female ghost with blood-red, ten-centimeter-long nails, hair in disarray and bleeding from her seven orifices, was slashed open in the chest by Miao Shuangshuang, releasing dense black smoke of Yin Qi from the wound.
This time, two ghosts appeared. Fortunately, Miao Shuangshuang considered using a Guardian Talisman on Xiao Zhongjing, preventing the ghost attacking him from succeeding.
Xiao Zhongjing, finally realizing the situation, immediately pulled out a short knife, cautiously watching the fierce ghost outside the Protective Shield. Of course, he didn’t rashly go out to confront the fierce ghost directly.
His current physical condition was that of a healthy ordinary person, while these fierce ghosts possessed immense strength and intangible bodies that couldn’t be touched.
The infuriating part was that while he couldn’t touch the ghosts, they could touch him, attacking at tricky angles, appearing in front, only to be behind in the blink of an eye. Xiao Zhongjing admitted that he wasn’t a match for these fierce ghosts.
So as not to cause trouble, Xiao Zhongjing could only hold the Thunder Attraction Talisman, staying inside the Protective Shield, ready to assist Miao Shuangshuang at any time. But clearly, Miao Shuangshuang didn’t need Xiao Zhongjing’s worry.
She was now holding the attacking female ghost by the hair with her left hand, spinning the ghost like a windmill, using it as a weapon to relentlessly bash the fierce ghost attacking Xiao Zhongjing.
A person may not be able to touch a ghost, but ghosts can touch each other. Miao Shuangshuang wielded a ghost in hand to bash another ghost, with the power equivalent to wielding a big, live human against another, making the attack astonishingly powerful and genuinely deadly.
The ghost attacking Xiao Zhongjing was being bashed by Miao Shuangshuang so much that black smoke of Yin Qi began to ooze from all over its body, and it seemed to be losing its breath. Yet Miao Shuangshuang was still intensely furious.
As she became more and more furious while fiercely beating the two ghosts, she cursed, "You ghosts, are you all perverted, always doing disgusting things.
Spying on people when they go to the toilet or disgusting them while cooking, no wonder you’re evil ghosts, it’s like you’re begging for a beating."
Miao Shuangshuang was truly growing angrier as she cursed. Whether it was holding it in or being hungry, neither option was acceptable to Miao Shuangshuang, and these ghosts chose to show up at such a moment to court death.
When Miao Shuangshuang finally calmed down, the two ghosts had long since turned to ash. Miao Shuangshuang let out a sigh of relief, the illusions in the kitchen disappeared, the head was gone, and the stench was gone too.
But the two pots of claypot rice were overcooked because Miao Shuangshuang had to deal with the ghosts, delaying the time to turn off the heat, and now they were burnt. Miao Shuangshuang stood with arms akimbo, looking at the burnt pots, still feeling the residual anger in her heart, not wanting to move.
It was still Xiao Zhongjing who saw Miao Shuangshuang’s puffed-up look and voluntarily came over to help dump the burnt claypot rice, laboriously washing the pots clean and preparing all the ingredients for making claypot rice.
Turning to look at Miao Shuangshuang, whose eyes were fixed on him without blinking, Xiao Zhongjing smiled, "I’ve prepared all the ingredients for you; you can make two more pots of claypot rice. It won’t be much trouble."
Miao Shuangshuang touched her growling stomach and had no choice but to walk over, start making the claypot rice, and couldn’t help but take down a waxed chicken as well.
The meal Miao Shuangshuang made was very lavish. After Miao Shuangshuang and Xiao Zhongjing finished eating, Xiao Zhongjing proactively asked Miao Shuangshuang, "Shuangshuang, could you teach me some combat skills?
Although the game can enhance my body, it only improves my strength and agility. If I truly have to fight those ghosts and monsters, I’m still clueless.
I’ve seen you fight with such method, it looks like you know martial arts, and I thought if I learned some Martial Arts, once my body is strengthened enough, I wouldn’t fail to utilize my body’s strength."
Since Xiao Zhongjing wanted to learn martial arts, Miao Shuangshuang naturally didn’t refuse, "Sure, but if you want to practice martial arts, let’s find time once we’re out of the game.
In the game, it’s unsafe, and practicing martial arts is a big drain on your stamina. If you spend all your stamina training and encounter danger, you won’t have the strength to resist."
Although Xiao Zhongjing was eager to improve his strength, he also understood that the game wasn’t a suitable time, suppressing his urgency, "Then thank you, Shuangshuang. Once I’m out, I’ll practice martial arts with you."
As the two were talking, Old Jin walked in from outside. His expression was cold and grave, veins in his cheeks pulsing relentlessly, his eyes filled with a terrifying killing intent.
His eyeballs were bloodshot, looking slightly frightening, and when he looked at Miao Shuangshuang and Xiao Zhongjing, his gaze was intense and somewhat eerie.
