Chapter 125 Strange Old Man by the Lake

Chapter 122 A Black-Skinned Loli?

Listening to the weasel's incredibly standard London accent, Qiao Yu was stunned.

This damn thing actually studied abroad?

Qin Qianxue, Mi Yuan, and the others who had woken up not far away were also dumbfounded.

It was already outrageous enough that a weasel could speak human language, but this weasel could also speak English...

The weasel took another step towards Qiao Yu, the resentment in its small eyes growing even stronger.

"Do you think I'm like a man or a god?"

Qiao Yu was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and said.

"I think you look like a 1.5-meter-tall, white-haired, red-eyed, delicate, weak, beast-eared, dark-skinned, voice actress, flat-chested loli."

Qin Qianxue: "..."

Mi Yuan: "...."

Tang Lan: "..."

Cao Shao and Wu Chengfu's eyes lit up when they heard this.

Weasel: "???"

Do you think I'm a wishing well?

"Go to hell!"

Realizing that Qiao Yu was teasing it, the weasel slashed at Qiao Yu with its only remaining claw.

Just as Qiao Yu was about to summon the scarecrow, the weasel was bound by two vines.

Qiao Yu was a little surprised. Tang Lan, who had been practically invisible from the beginning, had actually made a move?

The weasel was already very weak from blood loss, and now that it was bound by vines, it lost all ability to fight back.

Another vine directly strangled the weasel's neck. With a sharp twist of the vine, the weasel's head tilted to the side, and it was instantly lifeless.

A pair of resentful eyes were still fixed on Qiao Yu.

"Thank you."

Qiao Yu thanked Tang Lan, but Tang Lan ignored him and just tugged at her oversized hoodie.

Seeing this, Cao Shao said sarcastically.

"Kid, you're really good at hiding behind women."

Qiao Yu nodded when he heard this.

"Yeah, I can't help it. My parents insisted on giving me a handsome face. Unlike Brother Cao, who doesn't even have the chance to hide behind a woman."

"You!"

Cao Shao glared angrily, picking up his knife and preparing to attack.

A beginner-level necromancer actually dared to provoke a mid-level swordsman like him. It was outrageous!

"Cao Shao, do you want to cause trouble again?" Mi Yuan said coldly.

Cao Shao held his knife, glaring at Qiao Yu. He was now in a dilemma.

"He's been away from the team for so long. How could a beginner-level necromancer survive alone? He must be possessed by something!"

Cao Shao said loudly.

His words made the others think.

"Qiao Yu, would you mind explaining?" Qin Qianxue asked.

Qiao Yu nodded. He had expected this.

He had to gain the trust of Qin Qianxue and the others, as it concerned whether he could enter the Soul Cleansing Lake later.

He clapped his hands, and a strange, masked scarecrow walked out of the rainforest.

Cao Shao immediately aimed his knife at the scarecrow as if facing a great enemy, and shouted.

"See! I told you this kid was possessed by something! I didn't lie to you!"

Seeing this, Wu Chengfu took a step back, and Mi Yuan also imperceptibly tightened her grip on her broadsword.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a necromantic creature that I control."

Qiao Yu smiled, and then he controlled the scarecrow to dance.

"Although I'm a cowboy, I only order milk at the bar. Why don't I drink beer? Because beer is bad for your health..."

"If Hua Tuo were alive, Western worship would be suppressed. Foreigners come to learn Chinese characters and stimulate my national consciousness..."

"Listen to me, thank you, because of you, warmth fills all seasons..."

Watching the scarecrow's stiff yet somewhat eerie dance, Qin Qianxue and the others were silent.

"Okay, stop dancing. We know you're normal."

Mi Yuan rubbed her aching head. That 'Thank You' dance made her feel very nauseous.

"Qiao Yu, how do you control this thing?" Qin Qianxue asked curiously.

"As long as I land the final blow, the monsters I kill will become necromantic creatures for me to control."

Qiao Yu didn't hide anything. His trump card was never necromancy.

"Hiss!"

However, when Qin Qianxue and the others heard this news, they couldn't help but gasp.

Didn't this mean that as long as they encountered more monsters, Qiao Yu's strength would become stronger and stronger?

"In that case, the next time we encounter something, we'll beat it half to death, and then you can finish it off," Mi Yuan said.

Qiao Yu nodded. This was exactly what he wanted.

After dealing with the weasel, the group continued on their way.

They were now very close to the Soul Cleansing Lake. Qiao Yu could even faintly smell the moisture in the air.

Dense bushes blocked the way, and they could only cut through them to move forward.

Finally, as the last clump of bushes was cut down, Qiao Yu's vision suddenly opened up.

In the distance, a clear lake came into view.

"That should be the Soul Cleansing Lake?" Qiao Yu murmured to himself.

He looked at the Drought Demon Curse on his arm. The black energy was now even more obvious.

"That should be our destination!" Qin Qianxue was also visibly excited.

After seeing the Soul Cleansing Lake, the team's speed noticeably increased.

"Halt!"

A hoarse voice sounded, sounding as if someone had a mouthful of ancient phlegm stuck in their throat.

Qiao Yu turned around and noticed a somewhat dilapidated hut not far away.

The walls of the hut were covered with moss, the tiles on the roof were broken and tattered, the door was very old, and a sleepy yellow dog was lying in front of the door.

Creak!

The old hut door slowly opened a crack.

A withered hand stretched out and grabbed the door frame.

Then, the person inside the hut walked out.

It was an old man. He was emaciated, and almost all of the hair on his head had fallen out, leaving only a few sparse white strands fluttering in the wind.

His eyes bulged out like goldfish, staring straight at Qiao Yu and the others.

If you saw this at night, you might think you had encountered a ghost.

"Ptooey!"

The old man spat a mouthful of dark green phlegm on the ground, and then the sound of his voice became a little better.

"You're all living people. You can't go any further."

"Ahead is the Soul Cleansing Lake, which breeds evil spirits. Once living people enter, they will be possessed by evil spirits, and their souls will be eternally damned, never to be reborn."

No one answered. The lesson from the weasel was still fresh in their minds.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, the old man grinned, revealing two large yellow teeth covered with plaque.

"I know you don't believe what this old man is saying. Look over there."

The old man pointed a withered finger towards the lake shore. Qiao Yu turned his head to look and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

At some point, hundreds of people had appeared densely packed on the shore of the lake!
