Chapter 9: Ghost Eater Sheds Skin
Zhang Hao was not in a hurry to attack the women who had undergone abnormal changes in the village.

Although the Corpse Bride did not move, for safety reasons, Zhang Hao still chose to come close to the Corpse Bride's location.

But at this time, some women from the village had already approached Zhang Hao.

They had strange looks on their faces and vicious eyes as they attacked Zhang Hao.

It was obvious that the corpse bride was standing not far behind Zhang Hao, but these women seemed to have no intention of attacking the corpse bride at all.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao hurriedly controlled the mourning clothes on his body and launched a counterattack.

Invisible supernatural power began to erode the approaching women, and as they got closer to Zhang Hao, their legs began to bend.

Finally, when these women were less than one meter away from Zhang Hao, they all knelt down.

The magical power of death if one kneels down was activated, and these women also lost their movements.

But Zhang Hao looked around and saw that there were about fifty or sixty women approaching him. If this continued, Zhang Hao would not be able to stop them.

These women are not very scary individually.

But supernatural powers will continue to accumulate.

Perhaps at the beginning, these women could not get within one meter of Zhang Hao.

But as their number increased, it became impossible for Zhang Hao to maintain a safe distance of one meter.

He could only try his best to reduce the scope of the supernatural influence that would lead to death if one kneeled down.

As more and more people approached, the original one-meter range slowly compressed.

0.7 meters, 0.5 meters, 0.3 meters.

Even at the end, Zhang Hao could feel a pair of pale arms grabbing him.

These women broke through the suppression of the ghost mourning clothes.

Fortunately, as a piece of clothing, the ghost mourning clothes have more functions than just kneeling down to mean death.

As a supernatural costume, it also provides protection for Zhang Hao.

Otherwise, with Zhang Hao's body as a ghost slave, it would probably become useless the moment it came into contact with a real evil ghost.

However, even so, Zhang Hao could feel that his body was becoming increasingly difficult to control.

His body was getting heavier, as if someone was pressing down on him. An invisible spiritual force was corroding his body, making him unable to move at all.

If someone looked from a distance, they would see that Zhang Hao was surrounded by women and could not move at all.

Whether around his body or above his head, there were women with stiff expressions surrounding him.

These women surrounded Zhang Hao, their heads moving up and down, and no one knew what they were doing.

At this time, only Zhang Hao knew that these women were eating his body.

Just like the bandits who had eaten Lichun’s corpse before, they wanted to share Zhang Hao.

It was just because Zhang Hao couldn't feel the pain, so he didn't notice it at the beginning.

As Zhang Hao's body continued to be eaten, he was soon left with only a skeleton wrapped in ghost mourning clothes.

However, strangely, even so, Zhang Hao did not feel his consciousness dissipating, nor did he even feel like he was falling asleep.

Suddenly, Zhang Hao's head, which was only a skeleton, turned slightly.

Just now, he noticed that a pair of skinny hands were holding his hands.

"It's the Corpse Bride."

Relying on the connection between the ghost slaves and the source of the evil spirits, Zhang Hao immediately knew the owner of the hands.

It was obvious that after being surrounded and eaten by the women in the village, Zhang Hao had lost the ability to resist.

But at the moment when Zhang Hao's hand was held, he miraculously withstood the previous suppression force and forced himself to stand up.

Then, after Zhang Hao stood up, he bent his legs and slowly knelt down. The enhanced death by kneeling skill of the Mummy Bride was activated, and the women who had surrounded Zhang Hao fell down one after another.

The legs of the women behind Zhang Hao who had not triggered the death-by-kneeling technique also bent.

The supernatural erosion of the ghost mourning clothes was also intensified at this time. Under the erosion of the ghost mourning clothes, they were forced to kneel down, triggering the supernatural power that kneeling would lead to death.

"solved?"

Zhang Hao lifted up the face that had been eaten away, leaving only bones and a few pieces of flesh.

Zhang Hao looked around. Now, except for the mummified bride and Zhang Hao, there was no one left standing in the village, or rather, no ghosts.

The mummy bride did not answer Zhang Hao, but just let go of Zhang Hao's hand.

But for some reason, Zhang Hao did not regain control of his body. Although the Corpse Bride let go, she still controlled Zhang Hao's body.

Under the control of the Corpse Bride, Zhang Hao came to the nearest bandit's corpse.

Then, an extremely strange scene appeared.

Before Zhang Hao could react, he suddenly picked up the body of a bandit.

The mouth, which was only a skeleton left, opened and swallowed the corpse in one gulp.

Under the control of the bride, Zhang Hao was actually eating ghosts?
As the corpse was swallowed, new flesh and blood slowly grew on Zhang Hao's exposed skeleton.

There was not just one bandit's body, then a second, and a third.

As Zhang Hao finished eating all the bandits' corpses, his appearance was not much different from before he was eaten.

Not only that, Zhang Hao could feel that there was a supernatural force in his body and he had gained new abilities.

"Is this... a supernatural power from those bandits?"

Zhang Hao felt that he had regained control of his body and he looked in the direction of the mummy bride.

At this time, under the red veil of the mummy bride, there were female corpses being devoured by her.

As the Mummy Bride swallowed the last female corpse, Zhang Hao was surprised to find that the skinny flesh of the Mummy Bride was constantly falling off at this time.

When all the rotten and shriveled flesh fell off, you could see pieces of pale flesh growing on the mummified bride's hands.

Although it still looked very strange, it was undoubtedly much more normal than the dry, dark yellow flesh before.

And there was no longer the unique smell of rotten meat on his body.

"solved?"

Zhang Hao was curious.

The mummy bride moved and walked out of the village.

It seems that the purpose of this trip has been achieved.

However, Zhang Hao looked carefully and found that this was the direction where Lichun had mentioned the old man was.
Following the corpse bride, they walked for an unknown distance and soon arrived at an old thatched hut.

The thatched hut was very ordinary and there was no plaque on it. Zhang Hao didn't even feel any supernatural power on it.

"Is this the old man's residence?"

Zhang Hao was curious and wanted to prevent the bride from taking any risks, so he went forward and opened the door.

Inside the room, there was only a table, a chair, a bed and a pipe.

On the table, Zhang Hao could also see a book.

"Written by Lin Taisheng."

The book only has an author written on it, but no title.
