Chapter 45 Truth

The next second, Fatty and Zi Gui's expressions changed drastically. Without seeing Han Juanjuan move, the prayer wheel in his hand spun wildly, counterclockwise!

Fatty and Zi Gui both saw it very clearly!

"It's you!" Zi Gui looked at the gloomy Han Juanjuan, and after a moment, he recovered and asked in shock and fear, "You... where did you hide the real Han Juanjuan?!"

Fatty grabbed Zi Gui and the dumbfounded Shang Zuo and ran. He didn't understand why they were still asking at this point. Where else could the real Han Juanjuan be hidden? Obviously, inside his stomach! Such a simple question.

At this moment, "Han Juanjuan" had revealed his true form. His body continued to grow, and his clothes were torn apart. Even more terrifying was that the skin on his body was stretched, and even some places became transparent due to excessive stretching. Finally, with a "tearing" sound, it cracked open, and a huge, withered arm protruded from inside.

Now Zi Gui understood that Han Juanjuan must be dead, and this skin was peeled from his body.

The snowman formation did have something strange about it, and they didn't pass through unscathed. Han Juanjuan was left behind forever. After the Hungry Ghost killed Han Juanjuan, it disguised itself as him, mixed into the team, and followed them all the way to the Saintess Tomb.

Fortunately, Mr. Wang discovered the secret of the stone and found the prayer wheel, otherwise, if they had waited any longer, until they opened the stone coffin, it would have been too late.

The prayer wheel emitted a strange "buzzing" sound, as if it had a suppressing effect on the Hungry Ghost. It didn't chase after them immediately, and its ugly, green head stared intently at their location.

But as the prayer wheel spun faster and faster, everyone could feel that this suppression wouldn't last long and was approaching its limit.

Fatty and the others rushed to the stone coffin, grabbed the coffin lid, and the three of them used their strength together. The veins on Fatty's forehead bulged as he violently flipped the coffin lid. After waving away the rising dust, they could see that lying inside the coffin was a female corpse.

The female corpse was wearing a red brocade dress. Although many years had passed, the dress was still very bright. The body under the clothes was full, and after the coffin was opened, there was no unpleasant smell of decay. It didn't feel like she had been dead for a long time, but rather as if she had just been buried.

"Ah... ah ah!" On the other side, Shang Zuo suddenly knelt on the ground, making a chilling scream. The head on his back began to wriggle strangely, as if it had come alive through the layer of golden cloth.

Zi Gui stepped forward and tore off the yellow cloth, revealing a scene that made her gasp.

The Saintess's head had now opened its eyes, which were a pair of golden vertical pupils!

Like a snake or a lizard.

It certainly wouldn't bring to mind anything good.

The doctor's guess was correct. This Saintess was also a disciple before her death, and she possessed a very special power. In the battle with the Hungry Ghost, she overused the power of her Door, which led to her successfully sealing the Hungry Ghost, but she was also backlashed by the Door, becoming the terrifying appearance seen now.

Even more frightening was that as the head wriggled, the part of the head connected to Shang Zuo's back was torn open, revealing the pale white bones inside, as well as the withered flesh, but without a drop of blood!

As the head fell to the ground, Shang Zuo's shouts immediately stopped. He stared with helpless and fearful eyes, and fell headfirst beside the stone coffin, no longer reacting.

Shang Zuo was dead.

No! Perhaps... perhaps he had died long ago, in the Gawu Zhangde Snow Mountain. It was the Saintess who was using her power to help him maintain his life. He could be considered a carrier for the Saintess's head for a period of time.

And now that the Saintess's head had returned to its place, he naturally had to die as well.

Gu Wei These were all things that flashed through Fatty's mind subconsciously. As for whether or not they were true, the doctor wasn't here, and he couldn't be sure.

With a "bang," the prayer wheel in the Hungry Ghost's hand could no longer be maintained and came loose, heavily smashing against the stone wall. Then, the unconstrained Hungry Ghost took steps and rushed towards them.

In desperation, Fatty picked up the Saintess's head and placed it in the stone coffin, aiming it at the position of the female corpse's head.

The instant the Saintess's head returned to its place, the Hungry Ghost's last remaining arm was about to grab Fatty's head. If this strike landed, his head would definitely not be saved.

But this terrifying arm, capable of shattering rocks, stopped. A golden light enveloped the entire tomb chamber, and then, an even more incredible scene occurred.

Along the passage they had entered, a strange chanting sound came, accompanied by a "buzzing" sound.

Fatty and Zi Gui immediately recognized that the "buzzing" sound was the sound of the prayer wheel. The next second, the same picture began to involuntarily appear in both of their minds: a woman with an unclear face, barefoot, wearing a brocade and embroidered dress, walking slowly towards them along the passage.

The woman chanted, holding a golden prayer wheel in her left hand, walking, shaking, and chanting. It seemed casual, but in reality, it contained great mysteries.

The Hungry Ghost opened its mouth wide and used its only remaining arm to cover its eyes, letting out an angry and helpless wail.

It wasn't an illusion. After a moment, a woman like this indeed walked out of the passage, chanting as she walked towards the stone coffin. The woman's bright red skirt had golden tassels hanging from it, and as she moved, the tassels fluttered up and down, like a golden wave.

The Hungry Ghost was forced back by the golden light and eventually shrank into the corner of the tomb chamber. If it weren't for its terrifying appearance, it might even be a little pitiful.

It seemed that the woman was the Saintess. Her clothing and prayer wheel were consistent with what they had found in the tomb chamber.

The woman passed through Fatty's body as if she were a phantom.

The woman walked into the stone coffin, lay down, and merged with the female corpse in the coffin. Immediately afterward, the head of the female corpse in the coffin changed, and its skin began to become elastic. The original vertical pupils gradually turned into a pair of moving, limpid eyes.

In an instant, the terrifying Saintess transformed into a rare beauty.

That unusually ornate prayer wheel was placed beside her hand.

The beauty slightly curled the corners of her mouth, and as her lips parted, a terrifying storm suddenly swept through the tomb chamber. The Hungry Ghost let out a desperate roar, but it was useless. Its resistance was so pale and weak that it was eventually sucked into the belly of the person in the tomb.

As the Hungry Ghost disappeared, Huai Yi, who was originally warming himself by the fire in the cave, suddenly noticed that Jiang Cheng across from him was gone.

Before he could even be afraid, the light and shadows in front of him shifted, and he seemed to have accidentally entered a teleportation portal, immediately appearing in the Saintess Tomb.

Following closely behind was Bai Xi, and finally Lu Yu. The moment Lu Yu appeared, he fell to the ground. Zi Gui rushed over and, after testing, found that he still had breath, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that these people were the survivors of the mission.
