Chapter 143: The Hungry Ghost Parasite (1)

Yi-gangs exploration workforce was the primary to enter.

A chilly rigidity flowed in entrance of the doorway to the 5 Components Tomb.

Underneath the chilly gaze of Namgung Yu-baek, the next exploration groups started to enter.

The interval between them was about fifteen minutes.

After Namgung Shin paid his respects to the Nice Clan Head Namgung Yu-baek, fifteen minutes had already handed.

Shaolins First Fist, Jeong Myung, and 11 others, its your flip.

Following the phrases of the Inspection Squad Chief, Jeong Myung set off.

Amitabha Buddha

Muttering the Buddhist chant softly, Jeong Myung was adopted by eleven successors.

Grand Grasp I nonetheless dont perceive.

The abbot instructed Jeong Myung, to take part within the Dragon-Phoenix Convention and obtain glorious outcomes.

And to enter the 5 Components Tomb to hunt the deep understanding of the 5 Components Divine Lord, his martial arts, or non secular elixir.

As a disciple of Buddhism, he had no attachment to private glory. Nonetheless, the orders of the sect had been absolute.

Jeong Myung, obsessive about delivering outcomes, was sought out by the Divine Monk.

The senior brother of the abbot and essentially the most revered elder in Shaolin, the Divine Monk.

In contrast to different martial excessive monks, he didn’t seem robust, however his humble look exuded a sure aura.

He requested Jeong Myung about his resolve.

When Jeong Myung spoke his resolve with nice rigidity, Grand Grasp Mu Myung solely laughed loudly.

So, did the abbot let you know to hunt the martial arts of the 5 Components Divine Lord?

Th-thats proper.

Let go of your greed, Jeong Myung.

Even when he was the chief of the Murim Alliance, as a disciple of Shaolin, he needed to take the abbots orders severely.

Jeong Myung requested cautiously, How can I, as a disciple

You idiot!

Sure.

Mu Myung laughed after which requested, Do fish come onto land as a result of they’re thirsty?

The Divine Monk mentioned this after which left.

It was a Zen query, however not as troublesome as those exchanged by scholar monks.

He was reprimanding Jeong Myung and the abbot.

Was it as a result of Shaolin lacked martial arts that they coveted the martial arts of the 5 Components Divine Lord?

Though he understood this, there was nothing Jeong Myung might do about it.

In any case, he had the solemn command of the abbot.

The so-called peerless divine arts held immense worth.

If he might purchase the martial arts of the 5 Components Divine Lord, Shaolins martial arts would advance considerably.

Groooooo

A wierd sound accompanied by a humid wind rushed in from contained in the passage.

After passing by a suspicious stele a short while in the past, the sound grew louder and the wind stronger.

The supply of the sound was clear.

Fist-sized holes had been recurrently drilled within the wall.

They had been holes of unknown depth. Initially, there was concern that arrows may shoot out, however that didnt occur.

The wind speeding from inside resonated within the holes, creating the sound.

Ugh, it smells fishy.

A feminine warrior from the Sungyo Sect coated her nostril.

The fishy scent was similar to that. It was a scent that would not be detected and not using a martial artists heightened senses.

Now, it had change into so robust that everybody within the social gathering might scent it.

Krrrrrrrrr

After which, the sound of a mechanism that had been persevering with from a bit of earlier.

There hadnt been any traps activated but, however the steady sound was agitating everybody.

Shaolins First Fist, youre well-versed in formations, arent you?

A big martial artist requested with a frightened expression. Others additionally checked out Jeong Myung with hopeful eyes.

I cant say Im totally versed.

The Shaolins 108 Arhat Formation is without doubt one of the most famous strategies in Jianghu, isnt it?

Amitabha Buddha.

Theres a giant distinction between a Qi Males formation just like the All-knowing Excessive Formation and the Arhat Formation used for mixed assaults.

However the essence was the identical. One cause they selected Jeong Myung was as a result of Shaolin was educated in formations.

Jeong Myung abruptly stopped in his tracks.

Maybe due to the dialog about formations, he noticed the environment in another way.

Because it was the tomb of the 5 Components Divine Lord, if a formation was arrange on this crypt, it was possible made based mostly on the ideas of the 5 Components.

If thats the case, then this damp moisture contained the power of water. There was a excessive chance of an underground water vein.

He guessed that Baek Yi-gang, who had gone forward, would have made the identical deduction.

Why do you cease, sir monk? one of many successors requested, sounding anxious.

I believed it was only a fishy scent, but it surely appears thats not the case.

What do you imply?

That’s!

Jeong Myungs eyes widened as he rushed ahead.

His social gathering adopted intently behind him.

What lay beneath Jeong Myung was someones clothes.

Torn garments

Thats the outfit Younger Grasp Baek was carrying!

Everybody acknowledged the garment.

This material, made from pink silk with elaborate embroidery, was not one thing simply anybody might put on. It was certainly the gown that Henans Sage had been carrying.

Why would Baek Yi-gangs gown, which had been setting new tendencies among the many martial artists of Kaifeng Metropolis, be mendacity right here?

Jeong Myung noticed the issue.

It appears to be stained with blood.

And it smells unhealthy.

The situation of the garments was poor.

Coated in grime and emitting a foul scent like blood.

One of many successors muttered anxiously, May or not it’s that Younger Grasp Baek has been attacked

Thats not possible.

Would Baek Yi-gang, who defeated Namgung Shin, be so simply overpowered?

Drip

A single droplet of water fell from the ceiling.

Jeong Myung appeared up, his pupils dilating.

Run!

It was unsure how lengthy the exploration of the 5 Components Tomb would take.

A martial artist can endure starvation for a very long time, however on this unsure state of affairs, it was troublesome to surrender on meals.

Yi-gangs group began to run.

They had been assured they may escape from such slow-moving worms.

Nonetheless, the issue was that extra Hungry Ghost Parasites had already emerged forward of them.

Its creepy, but when we step on them and hold going!

No, in the event that they scent blood, they may go even crazier!

Moyong Jins suggestion was instantly rejected.

In the meantime, the Hungry Ghost Parasites continued to pour out of the holes relentlessly.

Did the designer of the 5 Components Tomb intend for the intruders to starve?

Yi-gang was not happy with the state of affairs.

Throwing the jerky may give them an opportunity to flee, but it surely felt like taking part in proper into the designers palms.

In the event you had been alone, you might escape.

Simply wait.

As Yi-gang abruptly stopped, his companions had been startled.

The Hungry Ghost Parasites approached slowly as if cautious, however their encirclement solely tightened.

He hesitated to carelessly take out the jerky from his pocket. The creatures may get excited by the scent.

Younger Girl Tang. The scent coming from you, like flowers.

Why, abruptly?

Tang Eun-seol all the time had a singular floral scent about her.

Among the many ladies of the Tang clan, it was widespread to hold aromatic perfume pouches, partly to masks potential poison scents and partly on account of private desire.

That scent is kind of robust, might you give me some?

What for?

Hurry.

Tang Eun-seol, although shocked, promptly untied and handed over her perfume pouch.

Yi-gang sprinkled it on everyones our bodies.

Attempting to masks the scent with one other scent? However on this surrounded state of affairs

Yi-gang took off his gown.

Then he took out a little bit of the jerky and wrapped it within the material.

Krrrrrick!

Was it as a result of he took out the jerky? The Hungry Ghost Parasites began to go loopy.

Yi-gang caught one of many attacking creatures along with his gown.

He might really feel the Hungry Ghost Parasite wriggling via the material.

Frowning, Yi-gang muttered, It was my favourite gown. Tsk.

Then he tightened his grip.

Puh-uk!

Earlier than the Hungry Ghost Parasites fluids might unfold, Yi-gang threw the gown far-off.

A bait combined with the rotten fluids of the creatures kin and the scent of the jerky.

The Hungry Ghost Parasites swarmed like a wave.

They would go away no hint, cleansing up each the fluids and the bits of meat.

Nows the time!

Yi-gang and his group began working once more.

They strained to not unintentionally step on the swarming Hungry Ghost Parasites.

Fortuitously, it appeared the impact of the overturned perfume pouch was working.

The Hungry Ghost Parasites had been swarming one another, spilling fluids and clumping collectively.

Once they had been nearly out of breath from working, a brand new terrain lastly appeared.

There was a considerably wider house with 5 open doorways.

Every was marked with the characters for Wooden, Hearth, Earth, Steel, and Water.

Oh!

So Woon made a mistake.

He unintentionally stepped on and burst a Hungry Ghost Parasite.

His left foot was soaked with the rotten-smelling fluid.

On the identical time, the encompassing Hungry Ghost Parasites swarmed in.

To the Wooden door!

At Yi-gangs shout, the group didnt hesitate and ran via the primary door.

As quickly as the whole group entered, a stone wall descended.

Kwaaang!

The passage was fully blocked off.

The Hungry Ghost Parasites attempting to comply with had been sprayed with yellow fluid and have become fodder for the others.

Uweeeek!

So Woon retched from the foul scent.

Yi-gang, trying a bit pale, tapped on the stone wall that blocked the passage.

There have to be one other approach out.

It was a door that couldnt be damaged down.

They’d no selection however to go inside.

Their our bodies had been splattered with the rotten-smelling fluid, however there was no approach to wipe it off. They couldnt afford to waste treasured water both.

Ugh, the scent.

Be glad that we saved the meals.

Moyong Jin nodded his head.

Fortuitously, there have been no holes within the partitions of this place.

They didnt really feel a risk to their lives, but it surely was mentally exhausting from the beginning.

Yi-gang took one other take a look at the closed stone wall.

Im frightened about how Ha-jun and Su-rin will deal with this.

Not everybody may have the ability to save their meals like Yi-gang did.

Was it a guess about Yi-gangs worries?

Tang Eun-seol approached and positioned her hand on Yi-gangs shoulder.

Yi-gang turned his head to have a look at her face.

Are you okay?

Im not okay.

Tang Eun-seol appeared sadder than anybody else.

Its about that perfume pouch I cherished.

Yi-gang lifted his sleeve to scent it.

The scent appears a bit robust. It feels a bit overwhelming.

Tang Eun-seol wore an offended expression.
