The woman in the red dress paid no attention to the two, as if unable to see them, and walked from in front of them into the woods on the other side.
She continued to chant, "Have you seen my baby, chubby and very cute? Have you seen my baby, chubby and very cute?"
Qiangzi swallowed hard. "Master Yu, what in the world is going on?"
Yu Daochen stared at the woman in the red dress, shaking his head with a solemn expression. "This is my first time encountering this situation as well."
"Whatever. Let's give her a shot first."
After speaking, Qiangzi took out a yellow talisman and shot it over. The talisman passed through the woman in the red dress and hit a large tree behind her.
*Bang~*
The large tree was blasted with a hole by the explosion talisman.
Qiangzi looked astonished. The yellow talisman had actually penetrated the woman in the red dress, as if it couldn't touch her at all.
Qiangzi, refusing to believe it, shot three more yellow talismans. However, they also penetrated the woman in the red dress and flew towards the trees behind her.
Both of them were dumbfounded, staring blankly as the woman in the red dress walked into the woods and slowly faded from their sight.
"Master Yu, I feel a chill down my spine," Qiangzi said, looking at Yu Daochen beside him.
Yu Daochen gave Qiangzi a disdainful look. As the saying goes, even the strongest hunter fears a tiger. This fear stems from humanity's inherent fear of dangerous things.
"You have the strength to extinguish it, but that doesn't mean you don't fear it."
"Let's return to the cave first," Yu Daochen said. The two prepared to go back to the cave.
"Have you seen my baby, chubby and very cute? Have you seen my baby, chubby and very cute?"
Suddenly, the figure of the woman in the red dress reappeared from the woods, still chanting, "Have you seen my baby, chubby and very cute? Have you seen my baby, chubby and very cute?"
Qiangzi began to panic, looking at Yu Daochen beside him, signaling what to do now.
Yu Daochen's brows furrowed. He had never encountered such a situation. This thing was completely unfazed by the yellow talismans.
"Why is this fragrance getting stronger?" Qiangzi suddenly said.
Yu Daochen's expression changed. He suddenly thought of something. "Qiangzi, isn't this lily fragrance?!"
Qiangzi sniffed carefully and nodded. "That's right, this seems to be lily fragrance."
"There's something wrong with this fragrance!" As soon as Yu Daochen finished speaking, he lunged at the woman in the red dress, bit his tongue, sucked a mouthful of blood, and sprayed it out.
The blood mixed with saliva sprayed towards the woman in the red dress.
"Ah~ Ah~ Ah~"
The woman in the red dress let out a heart-wrenching scream. The skin on her face rapidly withered, and she finally turned into a dried corpse.
The wooden object in her arms had already turned into a skull. Yu Daochen kicked it away with a single kick, then turned to look at the dumbfounded Qiangzi. "Qiangzi, go to the cave, get the spirit spring, and let's go!"
Qiangzi nodded. Although he didn't know what was happening, he followed Yu Daochen's instructions to get the spirit spring first.
Yu Daochen's face was grim. Why did all these things happen to him?
"Have you seen my baby, chubby and very cute? Have you seen my baby, chubby and very cute?"
In the woods, the woman in the red dress, who had clearly been destroyed by Yu Daochen, slowly walked out again, still chanting the same words.
The woman in the red dress shifted her gaze to the dried corpse at Yu Daochen's feet. Her previously confused face suddenly revealed a sinister smile.
Yu Daochen looked down at the dried corpse at his feet, his expression grave, ready to use the Flame Devouring Technique at any moment.
"This kind of thing fears heart blood the most, which is tongue-tip blood. However, heart blood can only be used once."
Suddenly, the woman in the red dress dropped the wooden object in her arms, placed her hands on the ground, and sprinted towards Yu Daochen like a dog.
Yu Daochen formed a hand seal, just about to use the Flame Devouring Technique, when his body suddenly jolted, like a speeding race car suddenly running out of fuel.
"Damn it, my body hasn't recovered yet," Yu Daochen cursed, quickly retreating.
The woman in the red dress rushed to the dried corpse and stopped. She grabbed the hand of the dried corpse on the ground and bit into it.
Yu Daochen, who was preparing to defend himself, was stunned. He watched as the woman in the red dress gnawed on the dried corpse on the ground.
At this moment, Qiangzi walked out with the spirit spring on his back. Seeing the woman in the red dress gnawing on the dried corpse, his face turned grim. "Didn't you destroy this thing?"
Yu Daochen looked at the woman in the red dress warily and shook his head. "Let's go!"
Yu Daochen led Qiangzi into the woods.
The two ran very fast, not daring to stop at all.
After running for about three kilometers, Qiangzi leaned against a large tree, panting heavily. "Master Yu, Master Yu, let's rest for a bit."
Yu Daochen turned to look at the panting Qiangzi. "That's about enough. Let's rest here for a while."
Qiangzi put down the backpack he was carrying and sat down on the ground, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "I knew I shouldn't have brought so much spirit spring."
Yu Daochen gave him a disdainful look. "Serves you right for being greedy."
"What exactly is that thing?" Qiangzi asked again.
Yu Daochen glanced behind them, confirming that the thing wasn't pursuing them, and breathed a sigh of relief. He also sat down on the ground. "A legend from the Greater Khingan Range."
Qiangzi became interested. The Greater Khingan Range had many supernatural events, with peculiar and bizarre occurrences. In earlier years, there was even talk of ghosts knocking on doors in the middle of the night.
(Many people have asked how the rankings are divided. Let me explain: the Black List has twelve people, the Heaven List has fifty people, and the Earth List has fifty people. Black List > Heaven List > Earth List. The higher the ranking, the stronger the strength.)
