Jing Minghe's shock flashed across his face, then he thought with relief, "That's right, this Chi Hao fellow is scarier than ghosts. Why should I worry about him?"
Zhang Yu and Jiang Zheng saw their reinforcements desperately running towards Jing Minghe and Chi Hao for protection.
The great wolf lived up to Jing Minghe's expectations, devouring one ghost at a time. It would bite down, shake its head, and toss them far away, preventing any ghost from getting close to Jing Minghe, making it so that even if Jing Minghe wanted to play with a ghost, he couldn't touch one.
Turning to the other side, Chi Hao was no different. With a kick and a punch, he treated it like a game. No matter how many ghosts there were, they weren't enough for him to throw.
Jing Minghe looked left and right, always feeling that this wolf and this man were like they were in a competition, seeing who could beat up more ghosts.
"Could there be a reward for winning?" he wondered.
Jing Minghe spread his hands in resignation. Anyway, he had no rewards to give to this wolf and this man.
A ghost finally managed to get close to him after a great struggle. Jing Minghe delivered a spinning kick, sending the ghost flying. He squinted, feeling a bit disappointed. It wasn't kicked as far as Chi Hao kicked.
"Tsk," Jing Minghe's competitive spirit was instantly ignited. "I don't believe it!"
With that, he stepped out of the safe zone created by the great wolf and Chi Hao and joined the competition between the wolf and the man.
Zhang Yu and Jiang Zheng successfully escaped into the Dragon King Temple, each supporting a doorframe and gasping for air. They worried that more ghosts might chase them and looked back with unease. They were so shocked by what they saw that they forgot to continue gasping.
If they hadn't been so disheveled by the ghosts chasing them just moments ago, they would have had every reason to suspect that the ghosts being tossed around by Jing Minghe and Chi Hao were not the same group that had chased them.
The You Mi group, who had been ordered by Jing Minghe to hide in the main hall, rushed out to check on Jing Minghe and the others, worried about their situation.
A group of people stood at the entrance, watching two people and a wolf battling a horde of ghosts not far away.
Ke Wuwen punched the air, jumped up and down, and constantly shouted, "Idol, go! Wow! My idol is so amazing! Just like before when he competed in the underground arena! Mr. Chi is also so strong! Those ghosts are so weak, they can't even touch my idol."
Among this group, only You Mi had seen Jing Minghe and Chi Hao fight before. The others were seeing it for the first time.
Yan Xiaoqian and Lin Ling's mouths were wide open in shock, but they couldn't speak.
Tong Zheng was also shocked, muttering, "My heavens, are they even human? I used to think they were just smart, but looking at this, compared to their combat power, their intelligence is insignificant!"
In the previous instance, Jing Minghe and Chi Hao's memory and analytical abilities had already earned Tong Zheng's silent admiration. Now, seeing them so easily defeat even ghosts, he was both impressed and somewhat incredulous.
However, even though these two people and a wolf appeared to be fighting with ease, the ghosts were immortal. No matter how far they were thrown, they would drift back after a short while, seeming to be endless.
Jing Minghe kicked away a ghost and shouted to Chi Hao, "Hao Ge, I'm done playing, let's go back to the temple!"
Chi Hao responded, "You go back first."
Jing Minghe didn't stand on ceremony with Chi Hao and immediately turned to run back, asking Chi Hao to cover his retreat.
Seeing that You Mi and the others were all standing at the entrance, he waved his hand, "Sister You Mi, everyone go back, get into the main hall!"
Jing Minghe had already retreated, and the others quickly followed his instructions, turning to run towards the main hall.
Seeing Jing Minghe safely enter the Dragon King Temple from the corner of his eye, Chi Hao kicked away five or six approaching ghosts in succession, turned around, and quickly ran back into the temple. He and Jing Minghe went to push the main gate of the Dragon King Temple from either side.
Just as the main gate was about to close, Jing Minghe gave an order, and the great wolf squeezed through the gap.
After closing the gate, Jing Minghe asked Chi Hao, "Do you think the gate can block the ghosts? They can fly, you know."
Chi Hao couldn't be bothered to answer Jing Minghe's nonsensical question and only dragged him back to the main hall.
Upon entering the main hall, Jing Minghe closed the door, while Chi Hao pulled down the yellow cloth next to the statue of the Four Seas Dragon Kings and tied it to the bolt.
The outer gate indeed could not stop the ghosts. Jing Minghe saw them drifting in one by one through the door gap. They dispersed and floated towards the main hall and the side halls, but after crashing into the door of the main hall, they were successfully blocked outside.
However, they did not give up and continued to bang on the door.
Jing Minghe tapped the doorframe with his fingers and jokingly said to Chi Hao, "Hao Ge, they're trying so hard, maybe they want revenge for us kicking them away again and again."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and mimicked a ghost, "Without revenge, I am not a ghost. Come out, ghost, and let us fight again, hahaha..."
Jing Minghe laughed heartily, but in the entire main hall, apart from his laughter, everyone else was as quiet as a mouse.
Jing Minghe: "..."
"Not funny?" Jing Minghe leaned against the door, listening to the sound of ghosts banging on the door outside. "Everyone seems a bit tense. I just wanted to lighten the mood a bit, right, Hao Ge."
Chi Hao sighed softly, walked over, pulled Jing Minghe away from the door, and ordered, "Go rest."
"Ah?" Jing Minghe was speechless. "No, at this time, you want me to rest? We should still analyze..."
"Not tired?" Chi Hao interrupted Jing Minghe.
Jing Minghe wanted to lean back against the door, but Chi Hao was holding him too tightly, and he couldn't break free at all. He had to honestly reply, "Tired, a little. After all, I exerted so much effort just now, but I think we should still analyze first..."
"Then go rest." Chi Hao's tone was firm, and as he spoke, he forcibly pulled Jing Minghe to sit on a soft cushion next to the statue, and then pulled a soft cushion for himself to sit beside Jing Minghe.
The others looked at each other, with a hundred questions in their hearts, but not a single one dared to ask.
Besides Chi Hao, on Jing Minghe's other side, a great wolf eyed everyone menacingly.
Jing Minghe yawned. The statue was a bit far, so he simply leaned on Chi Hao, bent one leg, rested his arm casually on his leg, and tapped his fingers to the rhythm of the ghosts banging on the door outside. He looked up at everyone, finally fixing his gaze on Zhang Yu and Jiang Zheng, and asked, "What's your situation? Where did you provoke that group of troublesome ghosts from?"
For some reason, Zhang Yu turned his head away, unwilling to look at Jing Minghe, and had no intention of answering Jing Minghe's question.
Jiang Zheng glanced at Zhang Yu and said, "I'll start from the beginning. After we parted on bad terms in front of the thatched cottage, I thought I'd go to the mass grave to take a look. But I ended up in this village. I saw a few old people chatting together, so I went to ask them for information. I learned that there was a疯女人 named Xiaoxi in the village. Usually, people like that hold important clues in instances. So I went to find her. We chatted for a long time at her house. It felt like a short time, but when I came out, it was already dark."
