Xu Taiping reached out and gently touched the bubble, and a voice came from the jade plate subsequently —
It’s already dark. According to the previously agree a plan, disguise as a ghost to make those refugees spend the night in the maple forest.”
Hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately raised his head and looked at the crowd seriously and said：
“They’re here.”
……
“Ah！ ——”
After a stick of incense, in the dim maple forest, a refugee who was holding a torch and exploring the way in front screamed in horror when he saw a corpse hanging on a tree in front of him and retreated again and again.
“What’s the matter？”
A group of refugees behind him asked one after another.
“You… you look for yourselves！”
The refugee who was exploring the way pointed to the corpse on the tree.
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and their faces all changed drastically.
“That… that’s not… that’s not Old Li？ Old Li was just behind me just now. How… how was he hanged on the tree！”
Someone recognized the corpse.
After recognizing the corpse, even some of the refugees who were originally quite calm also panicked at this time.
“We… Let’s go back, go back to the abandoned house we passed just now, and wait until dawn to find a way out!
In a panic, a refugee suggested.
“Wait, look, there are blood characters here！”
Just as everyone was about to retreat, a refugee standing under the tree where the man was hanged suddenly pointed at the tree trunk with the bark peeled off and shouted.
Hearing this, everyone summoned up their courage and looked back, and found that there was really a line of blood characters on the tree.
“My family has a happy event, the mountain is closed for one day, those who trespass… die！”
Someone read out the blood characters written on the tree.
“Ah！… ”
Before those refugees could react, another shrill scream rang out.
Then the refugees found that another companion was changed on a big tree, and on the peeled tree trunk there was also a line of big characters written in blood——
“My family has a happy event, the mountain is closed for one day, those who trespass will die.”
The refugees who were already full of fear were suddenly so scared that their souls left their bodies, and none of them dared to go forward or retreat.
And at this moment, little green will-o’-the-wisps lit up on the periphery of the maple forest.
By the light of those little will-o’-the-wisps, everyone looked on in horror as a wedding procession of all evil spirits was walking around this maple forest.
“Everyone don’t panic, everyone don’t panic！”
Just as the refugees were scared out of their wits, a young man dressed as a scholar from Ningyuan Kingdom raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down.
When everyone looked at him with confusion on their faces, the young man then said loudly：
Everyone, I have heard a strange tale from the Ghost Tribe. It is said that if one encounters a ghost wedding at night, one must stop immediately. Otherwise, one will be harmed by the ghosts.
As long as you don’t move around, you will be able to continue on your way after dawn.
Upon hearing this, the refugees seemed to have grasped at a life-saving straw and gathered in the front of the young man to ask him about the specific matters of how to deal with it.
……
Believing it so easily, it is really as my elder brothers said. All the common people in Ningyuan Kingdom are extremely dull.
Brother Helian, don’t forget our rule. We must never expose our identities when killing people.
Don’t need you to remind me.
In the bushes beside the maple forest.
When nearly a hundred refugees were deceived into setting up camp on the spot, several hunters from the Ghost Tribe once again transmitted voices to each other, and all these voices were heard by Xu Taiping and the others.
Young master, I just used the Wind Listening Technique to carefully distinguish for a while and have roughly been able to recognize those six hunters from the Ghost Tribe.
Gongshu Nanxing, who had been listening intently to the movement on the side of the maple forest, then turned his head and looked at Xu Taiping.
”Don’t be in a hurry. They should take action soon.”
Xu Taiping nodded, and his gaze was still firmly fixed on the Fish-Finding Plate in front of him.
Not long after, the Fish-Finding Plate trembled again with a “buzz”, and then a conversation could be heard from the two black fish inside——
”Goudan, this time we will use the technique of beating the earthenware pot and sending the head to send those refugees on their way.”
”Yes, Lord Helian！”
Hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately raised his head and looked at Gu Qingcheng and said：
”Miss Qingcheng, they are going to take action.”
At this time, Gu Qingcheng had one hand pressing on the ground and the other hand condensing a ball of green light.
After Perceived Xu Taiping’s gaze, Gu Qingcheng then took back her gaze from the ball of green light and instead looked at Xu Taiping and Gongshu Nanxing and said:
”Miss Nanxing, tell me the current position of Goudan, the subordinate of Helian.”
Gongshu Nanxing immediately nodded, and then looked out through the gap in the bushes and said：
”That Goudan is in the direction directly opposite me, under the seventh maple tree, sitting with his back against the tree.”
”Thank you.”
Gu Qingcheng said thank you, and then saw her carefully turn her hand over and gently press the ball of green light on the ground.
At the same time, she whispered explained to Xu Taiping and the others:
“Young Master Rusty Lion, what I am planting underground at this moment is a poisonous vine called ‘Heart-Eating’. When this poisonous vine blooms, a drop of venom will drip from the stamen, which will make the poisoned person’s chest unbearably itchy, so itchy that they can’t help but dig out their own heart.”
After listening to Gu Qingcheng’s explanation, Xu Taiping couldn’t help twitching the corners of his mouth a few times.
And just as the few people were talking, the ball of green light that Gu Qingcheng pressed into the ground had already turned into a vine and drilled into the ground. Like a poisonous snake, it drilled towards the direction of that dog egg little by little.
Finally, this vine broke through the ground and quietly wrapped around the maple tree that dog egg was leaning against.
And at this time, dog egg was making the final preparations for the ‘Beating the Vat and Passing the Head’ technique, completely unaware of the vine behind him that had already begun to produce flower buds.
