The two walked towards the compartment with cat steps and were about to touch the bed. Suddenly a gust of wind whirled above their heads. Before they could look up, a sleek belt wrapped the two of them around. Suddenly, they felt their legs tightened and they were trapped in a ball by the belts.

"It's the strap that chants the blood!" Youyoule said: "I forgot that they always like to set up a chop in front of the door."

"You two don't sleep well, why are you here?" Nie Xiaosheng came out from behind the door, loosened the rope for them, and said, "I originally thought that a little guild like you was not very safe, so I set up a trap, but I didn't expect you to bump into it."

"Hey, I believe it, but I won't live here, okay?" Zhang Souxu broke free from his belt and said, "We are haunted."

Youyoule said: "It's haunted, there's no way to live with you."

Nie Xiaosheng pulled Zhang Souxu and said, "I have given you money. You have lived here for so long and are not haunted. Why are we haunted when we come today?"

Zhang Souxu said: "Our room is so haunted, I won't lie to you! Youyoule has appeared."

Youyoule also said: "It seems that there is something under the bed. We are timid, so you should go over and take a look."

"What are you afraid of? Are you not an atheist?" Nie Xiaosheng opened the door and walked towards the opposite side, pushed the door handle, and said, "Key!"

"Here, I'll give it to you." Zhang Souxu stuffed the key to Nie Xiaosheng and stood aside from afar.

Nie Xiaosheng locked the door and pushed it in. A sultry dampness was used. Nie Xiaosheng asked, "Is your room not ventilated?"

Zhang Souxu said: "It turned out that I wanted to dig a vent, but later when I encountered a situation, it was blocked."

"Why was it blocked?" Nie Xiaosheng turned on the lantern beside the door, waved his hand, and said, "You two come in!"

Zhang Souxu followed Youyou and said, "The location below the bed is where the ventilation opening was blocked. As for why it was blocked, it is related to the disappearance of the previous old husband."

"The previous husband was missing?" Youyoule looked under the bed and asked, "Let me tell me in detail!"

Zhang Souxu said: "Actually, we dug these two houses privately. Generally, we have to go to the Ghost Boy's Gate to invite the Ghost Boy's Gate. We didn't invite these two rooms. After the two houses were secretly dug, my husband planned to dig a vent underneath. The lower floor was originally used to imprison traitors of the Giant Wood Country. I heard that this dungeon directly leads to the deepest part of the Giant Wood Country's root system, but it has long been abandoned and almost no one goes there.

The one opposite was the first vent that was dug. After the digging, my husband wanted to dig out the vent of this room, but when it was halfway through, it suddenly collapsed. My husband fell down and never came up again. Later, because we were afraid that someone would find us digging the space privately when we went to the dungeon, we blocked the place.

Youyoule guessed: "You said that, the corpse under the bed may be controlled by that husband!"

Zhang Souxu said: "It's unlikely, this is something that happened a long time ago, and..."

Youyoule asked, "And what?"

"And there are monsters in the water prison!" Zhang Souxu's black pupils suddenly dilated, and he said, "That was a long time ago. After the water prison was sealed in recent years, the monsters were no longer in trouble, so we didn't take it seriously, so we dared to open a vent below."

"Monster?" Nie Xiaosheng stood up and asked, "What kind of monster?"

A suffocating feeling was revealed in Zhang Souxu's face and he said, "Mud Ghost!"

Nie Xiaosheng was stunned, holding his breath without saying a word. The whole room seemed to be covered by a huge ghost hand, and everyone's bodies were stiff.

Suddenly, a click came from under the bed, and the ghost claws hanging above the head seemed to be clenched down, and the terrifying atmosphere in the room was rendered to the extreme.

"Release it!" Nie Xiaosheng turned around and said, "I want to see what the mud ghost looks like!"

"It's better to be good, it's better to be good!" Zhang Souxu's face turned pale, and his breathing became rapid, and he said, "We used to have a custom here. After the people here die, they will be buried in water. Everyone thinks that after the water is buried, the dead will become fog in this lake, which can protect the giant wood country. However, after the Ghost Children's Gate came, they said that after the water is buried, the human soul did not turn into fog, but became a mud ghost, trapping the people of the giant wood country forever."

Youyoule strengthened his courage and said, "If a person dies, he will die. If he becomes a mud ghost, he will be fooled by the ghost boy's sect."

Zhang Souxu's face turned yellow, and he stood there like a burnt tree trunk, saying, "My husband fell down because of the collapse of this place. At that time, the cave was pitch black. I vaguely saw a few hands covered with mud, pulling him down."

"I'm a little convinced now that what the Ghost Child Sect said is true. Without a place where the Ghost Child suppresses it, the mud ghost will come out to do evil!" Zhang Souxu's nose sobbed because of excessive tension, and he seemed very uneasy.

Nie Xiaosheng coughed twice to relieve the atmosphere and said, "Okay, we won't just open the cover, just look at what is under the bed. If there is no big problem, just strengthen the place."

Zhang Souxu pursed his lips and said, "Come on."

The three of them worked together to move the bed away. Sure enough, they saw a sealed wooden board under the bed. However, because of the water below, the wooden boards were fermented by the water, leaving only the iron bars on the wooden boards.

"Pull these rotten wooden boards down." Zhang Souxu found three brooms, pounded the wooden boards into the gaps in the iron bars, and cleaned the hole below, but saw a bunch of tree root-like things wrapped around the iron bars on one side of the hole.

"There is no corpse underneath?" Youyoule looked at the vine-shaped thing and said, "What is this?"

Zhang Souxu shook his head and said, "I don't know, I never thought that this thing would be below."

"First find out where its roots are." Nie Xiaosheng pointed to the dense vines in the cave with his broom and said, "I guess its roots have grown into it. This group of things should be parasitic on the giant tree."

Nie Xiaosheng poked its root with his broom head, but unexpectedly it started to twitch. The small branch of the vine was placed on the iron bar and slowly gathered, and something gradually formed on the iron bar.

The three of Youyouli pointed at it with a broom while retreating. The thing was exposed on the ground and gathered more and more, from a few to dozens. Finally, they began to change shapes. The twisted tree roots finally solidified, forming a vague head.
