Chapter 0786 – It’s okay, I can teach you

　　Chen Ge’s voice seemed to contain a special magic power amongst it, and words became a weapon sharper than knives.

　　In the dark woods, the air froze and was so oppressive that it took one’s breath away.

　　Wisps of black hair hung down from the canopy, veins on the ground were strung together, undulating according to a special pattern, and the head among the tree holes saw the black shadows as well, a hint of doubt flashing through her eyes filled with the whites of her eyes.

　　”Do not hesitate! Any hesitation is a waste of time for us to escape, do you want to kill our hopes with your own hands?”

　　Holding the spikes in both hands, Chen Ge stood behind the shadow: “No matter what happens, I will be with you.”

　　The black shadow, which was originally a head lower than Chen Ge, was now close to three meters tall, and the resentment and anger that had built up in his heart was triggered by Chen Ge as his hands transformed into sharp claws and he let out a beast-like hiss.

　　This shadow that was nailed to the wall of the 413 dormitory room had a lot of potential, more than Chen Ge could imagine, and he became even more curious about the black shadow’s past.

　　”Everyone has hope, but to turn that hope into reality, you don’t rely on charity, you have to gamble everything you have, and only by giving everything you have can you have a slight chance.”

　　Chen Ge pointed to the human head in the tree hole, “Our hope is there.”

　　The black shadow whose body kept swelling up, after Chen Ge finished saying these words, its five features cracked open, and a black western line surfaced on its pitch-black body before it violently rushed out.

　　The woman’s scream once again resounded in the middle of the woods, and the grass on the ground passed through the rotting skin with an indescribable stench, trying to stop the black shadow.

　　At the same time, the black hair on the tree canopy seemed to possess life as if it was wrapped around Chen Ge.

　　”Against both of us at the same time?” Thanks to the many times he had been chased by the severe ghosts, Chen Ge’s body was unusually flexible, and these were the valuable assets he had gained between life and death.

　　”The girl can influence this piece of land, and it’s very difficult to leave without taking her out.” Chen Ge still didn’t understand the principle of the ghosts hitting the wall and couldn’t treat the symptoms, so his could only get to the root of the problem to fix it.

　　The fight between the severe ghosts was extremely grueling, and once it started, in most cases, it would only stop if one side’s soul was scattered.

　　After the black shadow swelled up, it was indeed much more powerful than before, but he lacked experience in fighting and was not as ferocious or crazy as Xu Yin, so he was quickly dragged down.

　　”This guy has potential, but his strength is too weak!”

　　Chen Ge knew that once the black shadow was taken out, it was impossible for him to survive alone, and his arms’ veins rippled as he swung his backpack and slammed it against the tree hole with all his might.

　　Before the backpack could get close, it was stopped by the hair entangled in the tree’s canopy, but this had bought Chen Ge enough time.

　　He held the nail with both hands and rushed towards the tree hole from the other direction.

　　”Can’t stay! The dirt is soaked with her blood, once we slow down, we will surely die!”

　　Desperate and ignoring all the horrors in front of him, Chen Ge’s expression was hideous, and he looked even more frantic than the black shadow next to him.

　　”Soon it won’t hurt anymore, soon you won’t be in pain and alone anymore!”

　　Chen Ge didn’t even think about retreating, he was very fast.

　　The girl sensed a threat from Chen Ge and temporarily detached a portion of her strength to block it.

　　The weeds quickly withered, revealing the ground that seemed like human skin.

　　”If you’re not willing to save me, then you’ll be buried here with me.”

　　The ground cracked open as if crisscrossed with scars, and the temperature plummeted as if something was crawling out of the cracks.

　　Chen Ge felt his calves hurting and numb, his feet gradually lost consciousness, and what crawled out of the cracks just now seemed to be all kinds of bugs.

　　He didn’t bother to look, anything that would affect his judgment, he would ignore for the time being.

　　At this moment, the only thing in his eyes was the human head in the tree hole.

　　”I know that you’re having a hard time, but there’s a right to be wronged and a wrong to be done, isn’t it a little too much for you to not go after the one who hurt you and instead go after me, an innocent person?”

　　Chen Ge’s voice was loud, he wasn’t afraid of revealing his position now, the priority was to crack the ghostly wall and finish off this uncommunicative female ghost.

　　Even though his feet were slowly losing consciousness, he still kept moving forward.

　　Blocking Chen Ge consumed a lot of the female ghost’s energy, and the black shadow saw the opportunity to break free, and in the blink of an eye came to the side of the tree hole.

　　Reaching into the hole with his sharp claws, the black shadow tried to take out the human head as Chen Ge requested, but as soon as he exerted force with both hands, the female ghost’s head let out a scream.

　　As the head was pulled out, Chen Ge and Black Shadow realized that countless blood vessels that seemed like plant roots were densely extended underneath the female ghost’s head.

　　”What kind of monster is this?” It was also the first time Chen Ge had seen such a stern ghost, but he reacted even faster than Black Shadow: “Get rid of the blood vessels on her neck! Hurry!”

　　The female ghost’s eyes were white, the blood vessels under her neck were connected to the bushes, and the ground was slowly collapsing, as if it was preparing to drag the black shadow into the ground with it.

　　”Quick! Break it!”

　　Chen Ge shouted loudly, the black shadow’s situation was bleak, he hadn’t broken the blood vessels on the female ghost’s neck, and his body was still being entangled by more and more blood vessels.

　　”What are you hesitating for?!”

　　The ground sank, and instead of turning around and fleeing, Chen Ge used his last strength to pounce on the female ghost’s head.

　　He did something extremely crazy, slamming his body against the veins that formed a large net, closing the distance before stabbing the nail into the female ghost’s eye socket!

　　”Hurry!”

　　The eyes with only the whites of the eyes were pierced, and the female ghost completely stormed out as the blood net enveloped Chen Ge and the black shadow at the same time.

　　”There’s no time!”

　　At the moment of life and death, the black shadow took the first step of metamorphosis.

　　His body was illusory, but his two sharp claws almost turned into substance as the black shadow gathered all his strength and ruthlessly stabbed into the female ghost’s head.

　　Blood splatters flew, and an ear-piercing scream cut through the night sky.

　　……

　　The scenery around him slowly became clear, the black shadow went berserk at the last moment, the instincts of the severe ghost drove him to do a lot of things that he had never done before.

　　As the night wind blew, the black shadow’s body had returned to normal, he raised his dry, thin arms, and above his palm was a red heart pulled from the depths of a tree hole.

　　”You’ve done well, we’ve stepped over the first threshold.” Chen Ge smiled and looked at the black shadow, he was lying in the middle of the dirt with multiple abrasions on his body, fortunately his legs had regained consciousness, those bugs crawling out of the ground just now weren’t real bugs, they should have been the female ghosts’ grievances converging into them.

　　”Before you swallow this heart, I have one last question I want to ask you.” Chen Ge reluctantly stood up, “Have you had any similar experience before, and how long did you fall asleep after eating this?”

　　Lich ghosts that swallowed other lich ghosts would fall into a deep sleep, and the duration of the sleep was related to their own strength and the food that was swallowed.

　　The black shadow had absolutely no idea what Chen Ge was talking about, he just desperately wanted to swallow the heart in his hand.

　　”Well, it seems like you really don’t know anything. But it’s okay, I can teach you slowly.” Chen Ge wore a smile on his face as he signaled the black shadow to leave the woods first.
