Kai Xiu, still sticking by Wu Heng’s side, ensured his safety closely.

Tap tap tap~!

The sound of rapid footsteps rose as the differently dressed Ghost Hags, all having changed into their ugly and ferocious forms, began to gather here.

And in Wu Heng’s perception,
Hostile gazes from all directions assaulted him, sharply clear within the confines of the building.

Wu Heng turned his head and dodged an incoming arrow.

With a flip of his hand, a military rifle appeared in his grip.

Driven by the sensation of hostility, he rapidly pulled the trigger at the shadowy second floors around him.

Bang bang bang~!

Bullets shot out in different directions, sparks flying.

With each bullet fired, pain-filled howls echoed from all around.

“Don’t protect me, kill all the Ghost Hags,” Wu Heng ordered Kai Xiu.

Kai Xiu shook his neck, put on brass knuckles and charged forward, breaking the neck of a Ghost Hag with a punch to the face.

Then he quickly closed in on the next one, swinging another punch, as the body slowly fell to the ground.

Wu Heng stood by the door, rifle in hand, continuously firing and spraying bullets at the Ghost Hags around him.

The three of them blocked off the room, killing the more than twenty Ghost Hags inside.

As time passed, the air inside the house grew thick with the scent of blood.

And the number of Ghost Hags rapidly diminished in the killing.

Soon, the house grew quiet.

“There’s one left inside,” Bella came over and said.

“Not killed?”

“She’s taken a child as a hostage, so the Skeleton didn’t make a move,” Bella explained.

Wu Heng followed her into a room on the side.

There he saw a Ghost Hag in a black tattered robe with curved ram horns on her head and a string of baby-sized skeleton heads on her belt.

She held a dagger lightly in her hand, pressed against the chest of a swaddled infant.

Upon seeing Wu Heng enter, she giggled creepily.

“Are you from Lundham City? I know you’ve been investigating me, but why bother… we’re no threat to your city,” the Ghost Hag’s voice was shrill.

Wu Heng didn’t reply, just kept watching her.

The Ghost Hag continued, “Let me leave this place, and I swear I’ll leave and stay away from Lundham City.”

Wu Heng didn’t take up her offer but said instead, “Don’t delay, kill her.”

The moment he spoke,
The Ghost Hag’s body suddenly stiffened, the dagger moving from the infant’s chest to her own.

“Ghost~! Stop your Ghosts, I am willing to submit to you,” the Ghost Hag’s expression became panicked.

Thump~!

The sound of flesh being pierced was heard as the dagger plunged straight into her heart.

The Ghost Hag didn’t die instantly, struggling to regain control of her body, all the while shouting, “You are a Necromancer, I can do the killing for you if you hesitate, you need a servant.”

Thump~!

A second stab into the chest, and the third blade went straight into her throat.

The words behind were stifled back as she vomited blood profusely, splattering around.

Then, with eyes full of unwillingness and hatred, she collapsed backward, turning into a corpse.

Wu Heng walked over to the Ghost Hag’s location.

He looked down and noticed three baskets under the table, each holding an infant.

He placed all the baskets on the table, covering it completely.

The infants, wide awake, stared at Wu Heng with big eyes, not crying or fussing, though their eyes lacked some brightness.

“Are they all right?” Xiao Xiao appeared above, making a face down at them.

The infants still showed no reaction.

Wu Heng quickly checked over them and said, “They’re fine, they must have been given some elixir to keep them quiet for now.”

“What should we do? Uncle, are you going to adopt them?” Xiao Xiao asked curiously.

“After we get back, let Wen Mansha investigate their families; if they were stolen, we’ll send them back,” Wu Heng replied.

“Right, they have their own moms and dads,” Xiao Xiao nodded.

The infants were left there.

Wu Heng then said to the Skeletons, “Gather up the corpses; strip them of any valuable or useful items.”

The two Skeletons got to work.

All the Ghost Hags were laid out in a row in the middle of the clearing along with several men’s corpses that had been drained to death.

They began to sort through the spoils on the bodies.

Pouches full of coins were arranged to one side, followed by armor, weapons, and some household items.

These held little appeal for Wu Heng; his gaze landed on two items set aside on their own.

The first was a stone shimmering with black light.

Its surface was smooth as if it had been polished by an old man for many years.

[Stove Stone (Special Item)]
[Effect: Touch the Stove Stone to enter Soul state.]
[Side effect: A sense of discomfort for living beings.]
(Description: A stone nurtured continuously by a Ghost Hag, now possessing special abilities.)
To enter the state of a Soul!

It seemed to be a nice Special Item.

A Soul holds advantages that living beings do not possess, such as being immune to physical attacks, the ability to phase through walls, and flight in the state of a Soul.

Each of these abilities was incredibly useful.

Even if not used for attacking or fighting, they could be employed for escape.

It was quite good indeed.

Wu Heng wondered why these Ghost Hags hadn’t used it to flee, but in his hands, even with this item, escape was not possible.

With three Ghosts monitoring the scene and capable of phasing through walls, how could he possibly let her escape?

His gaze moved to the second item, an old-fashioned oil lamp.

A bronze frame with a crudely made glass cover.

[Nightmare Oil Lamp (Special Item)]
[Effect: Use the organs and body tissues of a living being as a medium to afflict the target with a relentless nightmare.]
