Chapter 845: The Method to Make Humans and Evil Spirits Coexist in Harmony!

Bang bang bang—

Bullets instantly shot toward the evil spirit charging in their direction. The bullets pfft-pfft-pfft buried themselves into the evil spirit's flesh-and-blood body, exploding with bursts of electric current and sparks.

But just one round of concentrated fire made the soldiers' faces drastically change.

Their exorcism bullets landed on that evil spirit's body, and it almost only made his steps stumble slightly. They simply could not inflict effective damage on it.

The energy level of this evil spirit far exceeded the little ghosts they had trained to deal with!

"Move aside!"

The Demon Hunter let out a sharp shout, his gaze gloomy, striding forward with his sword to meet the evil spirit head-on, his mouth continuously reciting exorcism incantations.

In an instant.

He suddenly raised his gun, and pulled the trigger.

A pale-silver bullet instantly tore through the air and landed on the evil spirit's brow, exploding with a blinding, brilliant Holy Light.

And that one strike instantly made the evil spirit stagger backward repeatedly.

One hit landed, his eyes narrowed sharply, the blazing blade in his hand suddenly sliced through the air. With a moon-step, he swept it toward the evil spirit's shoulder.

Clang—

The blade passed through the evil spirit's body, but his pupils contracted abruptly.

Because that slash had not directly cut him in two. It was as if he had struck steel, only leaving a shallow scratch of flesh across his shoulder.

Not good!

In that instant.

He immediately realized the evil spirit's true power.

But just as he flew back explosively, thinking the evil spirit would seize this opportunity to deliver a fatal blow, the evil spirit acted as though it had not noticed them at all. Its gaze was frantic and terrified, and it actually kicked his blade aside, scrambling and rolling past them, sprinting madly toward the direction outside the village.

It was as if something extremely terrifying was hunting it, leaving it no time to bother with these few insignificant ants blocking its path.

"Fire!"

The soldiers gritted their teeth and immediately aimed at the evil spirit charging toward them, pulling their triggers continuously.

Bang bang bang bang bang—

Dense bullets kept landing on the evil spirit's body.

But almost instantly, the evil spirit had already rushed in front of them. The lead soldier's face went pale, and he nearly instinctively tried to raise his gun again, but the evil spirit suddenly flashed past him, frantic, without any pause at all, brushing them aside and heading straight into the distance.

"..."

A dead silence fell on the spot.

Everyone stood frozen, watching the evil ghost that had run off as if it had completely ignored them.

"Sir... what... what's going on..."

"Was it our deterrent power that was too strong, and we scared it off? Sir..."

But obviously.

Not even they themselves believed that reason.

The Demon Hunter's brow furrowed tighter and tighter. He quickly rushed forward, gazing at the evil spirit's scrambling, rolling back, and with one glance he could tell that the evil spirit really seemed to be...

Afraid?

But what was it afraid of?

Could it be that in this village there existed some kind of being that even an evil ghost of this level feared?

That shouldn't be possible!

If that were really the case...

A soldier swallowed stiffly and said, "Sir, I keep feeling something's off. What should we do now, keep chasing that evil spirit, or..."

He instinctively turned his head and glanced toward due north.

And it was that one glance that made his pupils dilate instantly. His whole body collapsed to the ground, his face revealing an expression of utter terror.

"What's wrong with you?"

The Demon Hunter asked with a frown, somewhat displeased.

The soldier's lips trembled, and he murmured blankly, "Sir... I... I think I know what that evil spirit is afraid of..."

The Demon Hunter frowned and said, "What did you say?"

The soldier tremblingly extended his hand, pointing shakily toward the direction behind him.

"S-Sir... you... you turn around... and look..."

The Demon Hunter's brow twitched. Almost instinctively, together with the dozens of other soldiers, he turned his head, gazing toward the direction from which the evil spirit had just fled in panic.

Bzzzz—

In an instant.

Everyone's gazes around them went hollow.

At some unknown point, behind them, within the rolling mist, countless massive, twisted tentacles had surged and squeezed their way out. Each tentacle was covered in sharp barbs, and one could even clearly see enormous eyeballs writhing upon them. From within the black mist, waves of noisy, maddening Whispers faintly emanated.

A massive oppressive force swept over them, as if they were facing an unlooked-upon countenance.

"..."

A brief silence.

"MOMMYYYY!!!"

Waves of incomparably terrified, shrill screams instantly resounded through the entire sky.

...

Several minutes later.

On the street leading out of the village, that frantic, scrambling evil spirit ran without stopping. Beside him, one after another terrified soldier, letting out sharp screams, overtook him from behind as if their potential had exploded, their speed even several notches faster than his.

It was like an old news story from long ago, where an old grandmother, to save her grandson pinned under a truck, actually lifted the truck enough to create a gap.

And this was proof enough that humans, under certain extreme circumstances, can often unleash tremendous potential.

Just like this moment.

That evil spirit actually discovered that those people's running speed was no less than his own!

"What is that thing!! What is that thing behind us!!!"

"Tentacles! So many tentacles!!"

"Sir!! Weren't we here to exorcise ghosts?! Why does it seem like an Evil God has come this time!!"

And in this moment.

They finally understood why that evil spirit had fled in terror. Who could withstand this?!

Why did this tiny village contain that kind of indescribable monster!!

The Demon Hunter also (〃´皿`) fled for his life, saying:

"All of you shut up!! Quickly notify the brothers up ahead!! Start the cars! Hurry!! Move!!"

Although he was indeed a Demon Hunter.

But he couldn't hunt this kind of demon!!

He had also figured out why the compass had cracked. Not cracking would have been a sign of disrespect, damn it!

Eldest Sister Yin Qin!

Sorry!!

Although I really want to save you, your brother here truly has the will but not the strength. I can't do it!!

And almost in an instant.

Just as they were sprinting all the way.

With a loud pfft.

On the road ahead of them, the ground suddenly exploded, and with a hua-la-la, countless eerie tentacles surged up, directly blocking their path forward.

Everyone and that evil spirit all slammed on the brakes in terror.

"Blocked!! We're blocked!!"

"Who knows the roads here!! Which way should we run!! It's about to catch up!!"

Cracked!

Truly about to crack!!

The evil spirit among the crowd trembled, and almost instantly whipped its head around, roaring as it kicked open the fence beside them, waving its hand broadly:

"I know the way!! This way!!!"

Everyone immediately (〃＞皿＜) followed, pouring in one after another.

As for whether an evil spirit had mixed in among them, or they had mixed in among the evil spirits, who had time to care about that now? Run, damn it!!

They sped frantically along the alley.

Suddenly, a low wall blocked the path ahead.

The Demon Hunter, frantic, instantly rushed over, clasped his hands together, and dropped into a horse stance, roaring:

"Quick!! Get up!!"

Those soldiers immediately frantically stepped on his hands, and with a powerful toss upward, they flipped over that wall and continued sprinting forward.

One soldier.

Two soldiers.

One evil spirit.

Three soldiers.

The spirit of teamwork that burst forth during a desperate flight was on full display in this moment, because in ancient primitive society, humans understood that when facing a beast they couldn't handle, running together gave the greatest chance of survival.

As for whether some non-human creatures had mixed in among them...

Who cares!

What was the point of thinking so much right now!! Surviving was what mattered!!

That evil spirit and the soldiers fled helter-skelter all the way, but the darkness behind them showed no sign of being shaken off. Instead, it drew closer and closer.

The group hurriedly rounded a corner.

And instantly they heard waves of terrified ghostly wailing. They immediately saw that on the other side of the alley, in front of countless tentacles surging forth like a flood, one after another semi-transparent wandering soul was also desperately huddling together and charging toward them.

Without a doubt, this was another team that had been harassed by the "Evil God."

It was just that they might not be human.

"This way!!"

The Evil Spirit Conglomerate roared, suddenly pointing toward another direction.

The two terrified-out-of-their-wits teams thus completed their grand reunion at that intersection, and with perfect unison they frantically sped off in that direction. As for who among them was a ghost and who was human, was that a question that needed considering right now?!
