Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 386 - 144: Blood Money, Spiders, Dolls, Dogs—The Full Paradise Garden Experience
Meanwhile, the disciples and the elders were observing from a distance.
...
Ding Ahfei was a hooligan with some dubious connections with the local County Captain. On a typical day, he would do things like "taking advantage of a farmer’s wife when her husband is not around, and if caught, he would counter-accuse the wife of seducing him."
He grew bolder with each act. This time, after threatening a young girl, he inexplicably found himself apprehended.
Ding Ahfei was not yet at the level to know about Divine Wood Hall, so he mentioned the "County Captain’s" name and boasted, "The County Captain is my brother-in-law," but no one paid him any attention...
This was when Ding Ahfei started to panic.
At this moment, he wanted to plead for mercy but saw that the group behind him merely pointed their crossbows at him. If he stopped moving, the arrows would fly.
"Brother, have mercy on me.
I will give you money..."
Ding Ahfei kept shouting as he walked forward.
But no one paid him any mind.
He looked at the person not far beside him.
A burly man with a rugged face who looked like a mountain bandit.
And remarkably, this burly man was also trembling.
The first group moved in a web pattern towards the Ghost Realm, while words like "Report any anomalies immediately; those who perform well might survive" echoed from behind.
Ding Ahfei had no choice but to desperately search for anomalies.
And it was then that he suddenly saw a Gold Yuanbao lying on the muddy ground ahead.
How could there be a Gold Yuanbao in such a place?
Overjoyed, Ding Ahfei’s eyes rolled with greed. This Gold Yuanbao was worth a lot. If he could take it out, it would be enough to have a good time in the brothel. Even if he couldn’t take it out, he could use it to bribe those people behind him.
Thinking this way, Ding Ahfei stealthily tiptoed over, wanting to quietly slip the Gold Yuanbao into his pocket while others weren’t paying attention. But after taking just two steps... the burly man beside him suddenly rushed over, bent down to grab the Gold Yuanbao, and shouted towards the back, "I found an anomaly! There’s a Gold Yuanbao here!"
Ding Ahfei was instantly furious and shouted, "That Yuanbao is mine; I accidentally dropped it! It’s not an anomaly!"
The burly man ignored him, bit into the Gold Yuanbao, and shouted towards the back, "Great quality!"
Ding Ahfei pointed at the burly man and said, "That’s mine."
The burly man grinned, showing a menacing smile.
Ding Ahfei was so frightened he fell to the ground, then pretended to be nonchalant as he got up and dusted himself off, saying, "Fine, fine, I don’t want it anymore."
The burly man waved the Gold Yuanbao around.
The disciples of Divine Wood Hall were momentarily stunned.
A Gold Yuanbao appearing in this place was indeed bizarre.
An Elder of the Gu Family was overseeing from behind.
The Gu Family Elder gave an order to the nearby disciples.
The disciple relayed the command upfront, saying, "Put the Gold Yuanbao in your pocket and head back, then go rest over there."
The disciple pointed to a tent and added, "There is food and drink inside the tent."
The burly man was overjoyed and said, "Thanks, King, thanks, King!"
The Divine Wood Hall disciples were bemused by this strange title and didn’t know what to say.
Ding Ahfei regretted deeply, but he could only keep walking forward.
As he walked, suddenly there was a panicked scream from a distance.
"Help!"
"Ahhhhh!!!"
A group of people looked over and saw a woman in brown clothing suspended in mid-air. As she struggled, her body swayed back and forth in mid-air, as if stuck on an invisible spring.
But for a long time, the woman remained unharmed, just unable to free herself.
The onlookers, growing bolder, curiously approached, only to see a transparent spider web sticking to the woman from behind. Someone immediately exclaimed with joy, "Found an anomaly! It’s a web, a spider web!"
A Divine Wood Hall disciple said, "Help her down from the spider web."
That person obeyed and began to act.
But no matter how hard he tried, it was useless.
Even when she was pulled far away, the woman would swing back to the original place.
"Sir, it’s not working," the person called out.
Subsequently, several others tried, but they couldn’t pull the woman free.
This area was overseen by Jing Banfeng.
Jing Banfeng sent a Sixth Grade Disciple and two Seventh Grade Disciples to check it out.
Since they had already been tugging at it for a long time and the danger level didn’t seem high, the three disciples weren’t too worried.
After all, those ordinary people were fine, so how could they get into trouble?
First, a Seventh Grade Disciple tried to pull, but it didn’t work.
Then, a Sixth Grade Disciple stepped in. He tried pulling and realized he couldn’t use brute force to free the woman, so he raised his hand, and Shadow Blood that emitted a scorching aura seeped from his fingertips, quickly drawing an Ancestral Talisman.
"Retreat!"
The Sixth Grade Disciple lightly touched the spider web.
In the Ghost Realm, Ancestral Shadow Blood could ward off evil and repel strange objects; this was common knowledge.
No one thought there was a problem with doing this.
And indeed, it was effective. The woman in brown who was stuck instantly fell down.
The Sixth Grade Disciple let out a sigh of relief and was about to raise his hand but found himself stuck.
He froze for a moment, urging the Ancestral Talisman of Shadow Blood, and slapped it on the spider web.
But this time, it had no effect.
The Sixth Grade Disciple froze and shouted, "Elder, I’m trapped! There’s something wrong with this spider web!"
"Oh?"
Jing Banfeng furrowed his brow and quickly approached. He observed the invisible spider web, now stained blood-red by Shadow Blood, and after a moment of consideration, he took a deep breath, intending to exhale a blood mist.
Every drop of his blood was filled with the power of the Ancestral Talisman, with a strong ability to ward off evil.
But just as he was about to exhale, he paused, frowned slightly, and said, "Let’s wait and see."
The Sixth Grade Disciple dared not speak further.
As evening fell.
The Sixth Grade Disciple was still stuck on the spider web, unable to get down but also unthreatened.
