Chapter 5 Human Head Monster
Tie Dan rubbed his eyes hard to make sure he hadn't seen wrong this time.
The human heads that Chen Huzi had brought back and left at the door somehow struggled out of the bag.
There were about a dozen, most of them were dead heads, but among them was one that seemed to be a living dead head, its mouth opening and closing, making noises. It was unclear if it was chanting or chewing meat.
Could it be they secretly ate the mutton?
At this moment, all these dead heads and living dead heads had their braids tied with a red rope, confined together, unable to escape. So, the living dead head controlled the others using Qi Manipulation, maneuvering them as limbs, rolling and twisting autonomously.
Much like some spider or crawling insect, it cautiously, like a silkworm cocoon, pushed its way out from beneath a painting scroll altar, not daring to take the main path, crawling out of the Mysterious Gate. It immediately sped, like a spider, in the cave, desperately searching for a way out, clearly intending to escape from this Sword Immortal Cave Mansion.
Tie Dan cautiously hid in a dark place, observing the human head monster.
He saw the human head monster first try to escape through an air vent but seemed blocked by an invisible wall of wind, its head stuck, unable to push through. So, it wandered around, just like Tie Dan, and finally crawled to the Cold Pond entrance, muttering incantations, emitting waves of demonic sound. It then opened its bloody mouth wide, "Aah!" and blew out a foul wind!
The foul wind was orange-yellow, like a misty poison cloud, dispersing the fresh breeze at the Cold Pond entrance, shockingly burning a passage with fire.
Tie Dan rolled his eyes and cautiously ducked to the ground, following the human head monster into the cave.
Indeed, inside the cave, there was a Cold Pond, the dark blue water clear to the bottom, where a bronze furnace lay submerged, and surprisingly, there was still fire beneath the furnace.
