Even though these people had spent several days with Gu Wuji and witnessed so many shocking scenes that they thought they were used to everything. Even if Gu Wuji were to engage in homosexual acts with some kind of vengeful ghost boss right in front of them, they wouldn’t be surprised anymore!
But seeing this scene now, the players were still completely bewildered, unable to utter a single word. They felt that speaking would make them seem ignorant. They couldn’t say anything like, “We weren’t waiting for you, you just arrived too quickly.”
But what they really wanted to know was, what was that thing Gu Wuji was carrying?! What was this coffin that looked like it might contain some extraordinary being sleeping inside?! And why did Gu Wuji look so relaxed and happy, as if he were at a rural resort?
Finally, it was Xiao Qin, who considered himself more familiar with Gu Wuji, who spoke up, “Brother Gu, what is this thing…?”
“Ah, this.” Gu Wuji seemed to realize that this was rather illogical, and immediately said, “Don’t worry, this contains the main body of the boss of this dungeon.”
Of course, although Gu Wuji was indeed strong enough to easily lift the coffin, he wasn’t using much strength. This was because the boss’s main body inside the coffin didn’t want Gu Wuji to be burdened and was consciously controlling its weight.
The others: “…”
No need to worry, huh?!
“Alright, let’s leave this village quickly now.” Gu Wuji frowned and said, “If we wait for the monster above to awaken, things will be troublesome.”
Everyone nodded numbly and followed Gu Wuji towards the village entrance.
But they were horrified to find that even carrying a black coffin, Gu Wuji was far faster than them. If he hadn’t intentionally stayed behind to wait, they would have been left far behind by Gu Wuji.
The surrounding monsters dared not approach any further. The shadowy figures and ghosts in the mist were also terrified, immediately shunning the group whenever they encountered them.
Initially, the group was puzzled, but after Gu Wuji explained, they understood. What monster would dare approach the true form of the dungeon’s vengeful ghost boss? It was tantamount to suicide.
Just then, the ground suddenly trembled. The group looked on in astonishment to see a figure appear not far away— a tall ghost with several ferocious faces radiating from its body, glaring at them with resentment.
Before them stood the ghost of the boy.
“So that’s it. The road out of the village just happens to pass through the houses where those sacrifices were kept,” Gu Wuji thought to himself. “This dungeon is quite economical, making these sacrifice ghosts appear repeatedly…”
“Heh, now my power has increased once again. You people are nothing to fear. I will definitely avenge my previous grievances!” the ghost grinned maliciously, its gaze falling on the black coffin Gu Wuji was carrying.
At that moment, the ghost’s expression froze.
Everyone understood his feelings perfectly. After all, for any ghost, seeing the vengeful spirit above its head being packed up and taken away would be incredibly shocking.
Without uttering another threat, the vengeful spirit turned to flee, but Gu Wuji grabbed its shoulder.
Everyone clearly saw that this tall and powerful vengeful spirit was actually trembling uncontrollably.
“What a coincidence,” Gu Wuji said, looking at the spirit. “Don’t walk so fast. It’s fate that we met here.”
“W-what do you want to do?!” The vengeful spirit glared at Gu Wuji. Although it still tried to maintain its composure, it had lost all courage, only thinking that this person was not human!
“I just feel that we’re not very familiar with the roads in this village. I was wondering if you could come with us and show us the way,” Gu Wuji said with a smile.
While Xiao Qin and the others found Gu Wuji’s smile incredibly gentle, to the vengeful spirit it was like a demon crawling out of the depths of hell.
“Sister, come with me!” Inside the old building, the girl looked at the shadowy figure faintly appearing on the wall. She could barely make out that it was a woman with a similar appearance to her. “Let’s leave here together.”
“No.” The shadow spoke slowly. “This village is facing something never before seen. Only that man has a chance to leave. I helped him before, so he should be willing to take you away. But I’ll pass.”
“Sister!” The girl couldn’t help but bite her lower lip. To her, this female ghost was her only family. Without her, she didn’t know how she could survive. “If we beg him, he will definitely take us away! Didn’t you say he was a good person?”
The shadow shook her head. “Even if he is a good person, how could he be willing to take a ghost away? This is my home, but you are alive, and your future has hope.”
At this moment, footsteps could be heard outside. Surprisingly, these footsteps were very chaotic, as if there were many people.
“People are coming. Let’s go out.” The shadow spoke, emerging from the wall and pulling the girl outside.
Then they saw several people and… several ghosts approaching.
The girl and her sister were dumbfounded. “…”
Following behind Gu Wuji and the others was the ghost whose original form was a child, but whose current physique was incredibly strong. It carried the ghost whose arms and legs were no longer in its original form on its back… Beside it was a long-haired female ghost, head bowed, shyly combing her hair the whole time, seemingly unwilling to interact with outsiders.
Of course, the most mysterious was Gu Wuji, standing at the very front carrying a black coffin. The black coffin on his shoulder emitted an aura that made all the ghosts in the village tremble…
“Sister, it seems we can go together this time.” The girl, regaining her senses, was filled with excitement.
“Mmm, mmm.” The sister’s ghost was still completely bewildered. Although she had high hopes for Gu Wuji and believed in his abilities… in her mind, at most, this group would only take her sister along when they were fleeing in a hurry, out of consideration for her previous help.
But what was going on now! What was this scene of ghosts and humans coexisting harmoniously?! Gu Wuji was even carrying a black coffin that clearly contained a vengeful ghost boss!
“What a coincidence, we can leave together on the same route,” Gu Wuji greeted them warmly.
The others behind them were completely numb. The first ghost had been forced to stay by Gu Wuji… but the next two ghosts, upon hearing they could leave the village, shamelessly clung to him. Even the ghost who had previously wanted to kill Gu Wuji was now showering him with compliments, a level of flattery that left everyone speechless.
The girl excitedly pulled her sister’s ghost into the group, her eyes shining. Although she didn’t know what the future held, she was filled with anticipation for the outside world.
With two more people joining, the group became even more astonishing, resembling a tourist trip. None of them had ever imagined they would coexist so harmoniously with so many ghosts.
And so, the group quickly approached the village entrance. The journey was incredibly leisurely. The biggest difficulty was that the village roads were winding and easy to get lost, but that was nothing compared to being haunted by ghosts, especially since the village ghosts were there to guide them.
The other players couldn’t help but feel moved, wishing they could immediately latch onto Gu Wuji’s coattails. Having such a powerful figure protecting them would be incredibly awesome!
Everyone started mentally preparing to shower Gu Wuji with compliments. One player even eagerly stepped forward, offering to help Gu Wuji lift the black coffin. But the instant he touched it, he felt as if a pair of chillingly cold eyes were staring at him.
Even with Gu Wuji carrying most of it, the weight he felt made him tremble… the weight of the black coffin could absolutely crush him!
In that instant, the player quickly withdrew his hand, pretending he hadn’t made the suggestion. He felt as if he had hovered on the brink of death.
The other ghosts looked at this person with pity. They were so eager to build a good relationship with Gu Wuji, yet they hadn’t offered this suggestion. How could that fierce ghost boss allow anyone other than Gu Wuji to touch the black coffin?
It was safe to say that in this dungeon, no one but Gu Wuji could possibly trigger this hidden quest. Even if they managed to trigger the hidden quest, completing it would be incredibly difficult.
After all, a typical ghost boss wouldn’t run away with a player so easily; the process would be fraught with peril. How could Gu Wuji possibly coax a ghost boss into eloping with him with just a few sweet words?
Moreover, the black coffin containing the ghost was incredibly heavy. If it weren’t for Gu Wuji, it would take at least several players to carry it. By the time they left the village, it would be too late; everyone would probably be dead.
