Chapter 76 (1/2)

“No! We can never destroy our mountain god!”

The lady elder was very agitated. She looked at Xiao Tangqiu’s group angrily, obviously wishing to chase them away immediately, “The mountain god is our god! It is our faith! Hundred Ghost Town worships the mountain god devoutly every generation. You outsiders don’t even think about…”

Before she could finish speaking, the main hall suddenly shook violently. Everyone looked up and saw that the idol in the center of the hall was actually moving!

The wolf-shaped idol slowly lowered its head and looked at the people standing before it.

The lady elder was trembling with excitement, and she knelt down in awe, “The mountain god… the mountain god has appeared!”

The remaining villagers also knelt to the ground one after another, kneeling thrice and bowing nine times with excitement.

“Mountain God! Mountain God! Save Hundred Ghost Town!”

“Please save Hundred Ghost Town!”

Alarm bells rang in Xiao Tangqiu’s heart and he clenched the weapon in his hand tight. The next moment, a thick black smoke suddenly exuded from the wolf idol. That black smoke enveloped the entire idol, giving the idol an even more terrible aura.

However, the Hundred Ghost Town villagers turned a blind eye to it. They didn’t seem to see the black smoke surrounding the idol, and they continued bowing reverently, “Mountain God! Save Hundred Ghost Town!”

In the next second, a wisp of black smoke split from the wolf idol and rushed toward a villager!

The villager was swallowed by black smoke in an instant and he suddenly screamed. Surrounded by black smoke, his body gradually expanded and deformed, his body became bigger and bigger, his face became more and more hideous… Amidst his pained screams, he finally turned into a monster in front of everyone!

Even though Xiao Tangqiu had already guessed the truth, he couldn’t help but feel his heart sink. As expected!

Those monsters were really transformed from the villagers of Hundred Ghost Town! The many monsters they had killed before were all innocent villagers… But were there really innocent villagers in Hundred Ghost Town?

“No! This is impossible!”

The lady elder and other Hundred Ghost Town villagers’ eyes almost popped out. Although they already knew that the monsters were transformed villagers, they couldn’t believe that the source of all this was the mountain god they had worshiped for generations. They had been praying for the mountain god to save Hundred Ghost Town and end this disaster… But it turned out the mountain god was the source of the disaster. How could they accept it?

Xiao Tangqiu’s heart suddenly thudded with an ominous premonition. Sure enough, the next moment, the villager who had become a monster in front of everyone shrieked and rushed towards him. He immediately raised his crossbow and aimed a shot at its head!

This monster was extremely powerful and Xiao Tangqiu could not kill it for a long time. Finally Duan Hongzhen and Xue Junli also moved, and the three teamed up to take it down.

But soon, the black smoke on the wolf idol once again surrounded a villager, turning another villager into a monster.

Xiao Tangqiu became anxious. Although there were not many remaining villagers, they could not waste combat power like this. There was still the hardest bone to chew waiting for them. If they were exhausted too much by these mobs, they’d have no energy to deal with the big final boss.

Xue Junli obviously realized this, and he immediately shouted, “Concentrate the firepower against the mountain god!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the lady elder and the remaining villagers immediately protested, “No! We beg you don’t! That is our mountain god!”

The lady elder had obviously realized the power gap between them and Xue Junli’s group. She lowered her stance and pleaded, “We Hundred Ghost Town people believe in worshiping the mountain god for generations. All this cannot be destroyed in our hands…”

Duan Hongzhen scoffed, “What do you worship the mountain god for? It is for the protection of the mountain god! Since the mountain god has abandoned you, why do you continue to worship the mountain god?”

“No! The mountain god did not abandon us!” The lady elder retorted shakily.

Duan Hongzhen sneered and pointed to the villager who had turned into a monster, “Open your eyes and see, is your mountain god still sheltering you?”

The lady elder was filled with sadness, “No… our mountain god is just… just…”

Xiao Tangqiu suddenly spoke, “Your mountain god is no longer the original mountain god. The mountain god here today is already full of malice.”

The lady elder still wanted to make a weak rebuttal, but in the next second, a villager who had been supporting her was turned into a monster by the black smoke and lunged towards her!

In a split second, Yu Fuling rushed over and pulled out a knife to help. The lady elder barely escaped danger. She fell to the ground with a blank and numb expression.

She looked up at the mountain god still enshrined in the main hall, and her eyes gradually became dead. Was this their mountain god? Was this the mountain god really the mountain god they had been devoting to worship?

The villagers were also at a loss, especially when they watched their companions being turned into monsters one by one… At this moment, the lady elder suddenly stood up and shouted, “This is not our mountain god! Our mountain god is dead!”

There was a terrible silence around, but soon someone began to agree with her, “Yes! This is not our mountain god! This is clearly a demon god!”

“This is not our mountain god!”

Gradually, more and more people agreed.
