Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 161 - : Woman and Old Man

Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Woman and Old Man

No matter in past lives or the present one.

Tang Qi always found the scene before him familiar, in the remote wilderness forest, on the outskirts of a small town, a few young university students, backpacking, then straying into a demon cave… a typical low-grade horror film trope.

The Federation was in a thriving stage of the film industry, and there were plenty of such movies. Just find a few actors with poor acting skills but attractive figures, create a bit of a horror atmosphere, then wildly splash fake blood, and usually, they could achieve decent box office returns.

Low cost, decent profits, movie merchants naturally wouldn’t miss out.

However, the scene before him was clearly not a movie.

In the early morning hours, a group of people walked out of the forest path in the mist, jubilant at the entrance to the small town.

They seemed to have already felt the warmth of the houses, the soft sofas, the comforting hot showers, the delicious food… residents of such remote towns were always so enthusiastic.

At least, that’s what the novels and movies said.

They were students from Blue Deer University, engaging in their last mountaineering activity before graduation, but in truth, they came here upon hearing about the many mysterious events near Cold River Town, driven by curiosity, aiming to investigate the truth of the events.

If they were lucky, maybe they could even make a big news story out of it.

But before dreaming about big news, they had to solve their basic necessities first.

With beautiful imaginations, the university students entered Cold River Town.

Then, without exception, they had a bucket of cold water thrown over them.

Indeed, there were quite a few residents in the town, but the faces that appeared when the doors were opened were all wary and cold, regardless of whether it was men, women, young, or old, all had a stony and icy attitude, rejecting them.

Even when the university students offered money, even taking out a Divine Grace Coin at a great cost, the rejection was the same.

Later on, they couldn’t even get anyone to open their doors.

Walking deeper into the town, they seemed to have only one last option left.

Deep in the Dead Forest, that strangely shaped wooden house.

Of course, they could also just tough it out, turn around, leave Cold River Town, and head back to Blue Deer City.

Without a doubt, they chose to head to the wooden house.

Just as they made their move, in the dissipating fog behind them, smoke naturally emerged, twisting and turning, dragging into their ears the scattered conversations from the houses farther inside the town.

“Old man, they’re going there, should we still…”

“Hush, they chose this themselves. If we help, they’ll die.”

“Hein, are those people going to disappear too?”

“Sigh, it’s none of our business, let’s move to the city in a few days.”

“Daddy, mommy, are those big brothers and big sisters going to die, umm umm…”

…

These voices, of course, were unheard by the group.

The university students, caught in a death-wishing mindset, both curious and fearful, passed through the chilling atmosphere of the Dead Forest and arrived in front of the wooden house.

From a distance, the wooden house looked somewhat abnormal.

But upon approaching, they felt the wooden house was exceptionally huge, just that the architectural style was a bit too avant-garde, they thought it must be very warm inside.

Ding-a-ling!

Ding-a-ling-a-ling!

In front of the house, hung full of bone wind chimes, ringing through the area with every gust of wind.

“Thump~ Thump Thump”

“Is anyone there? We are hikers who got lost and want to…”

“Click”

“Gurgle~”

The leader of the group, a physically well-built young man, stepped forward to knock on the door. He had barely spoken a few words when he was startled by the beautiful sight in front of him — a sleek, round mysterious area that completely filled his field of view.

This was a young woman with brown curly hair, wheat-colored skin, and a fiery figure.

As soon as she opened the door and saw a group of young men and women, she paused, and then her face, which seemed ordinary at first glance but more seductive the more one looked at it, broke into a radiant smile.

She directly grabbed the young man’s hand with a passionate yet pitying tone, saying, “Poor outsiders, please come in. Welcome to Cold River Town.”

Although the young man felt something was off, being close up, a warm and seductive fragrance entered his nose, making his somewhat frozen body immediately soften, and as if possessed, he followed her inside, with the men and women behind him not even having time to stop him.

They had no choice but to enter the wooden house as well.

Upon entering, they indeed saw an incredibly spacious, cozy living room with soft sofas.

In the young woman’s enthusiastic and gentle voice, the group of men and women felt both happy and relaxed.

As they were in this dazed state, they drank the hot tea served by the young woman, named “Tina.”

“Thump”

Accompanied by the first sound of a body falling to the ground, and then the continuous thumping sounds.

The group of young men and women fell neatly, without even having time to taste a bite of the pastries.

In front of them, Lady Tina, who was all smiles just a second ago, had now completely changed her expression, smiling in a way that was eerily unnerving.

Slap-slap~

Footsteps sounded from behind.

A pair of legs, as if someone was walking crouched, appeared next to Tina.

It was a weird, small old man, wearing a piece of sackcloth on his upper and lower body, with loose, gray-white skin, and his face was exceedingly ugly. He slowly opened his mouth, revealing sparse, yellowed teeth, and let out a “Heh heh” laughter.

“What should we do with them? Feed them to that big fellow?”

A raspy, leaky voice came from the old man’s mouth.

Tina, who was sitting on the sofa, caressing the leader of the group, the handsome young man with well-built limbs, coyly smiled and said, “No rush, let’s wait for the Beast Tamer to arrive and see if that method works. If not, these perfect baits will come in handy.”

“But first, let’s see if that big fellow has finished its last meal. If it runs out of food, it’ll get angry, and the scene won’t be pretty.”

While talking, she casually pushed the handsome young man’s head aside, walked to a corner of the living room, opened a secret compartment, and yanked a handle, amid creaking sounds.

Above the living room, two large wooden planks fell, and a massive iron cage slowly descended, landing with a “thud.”

“Roar”

Amid a roar, a true Blood Bowl opened within the cage, a lizard-like creature enlarged several times, with black, wrinkly skin, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and a pair of malicious yellow eyes, it was gnawing on a mass of flesh.

The flesh, piled together from a skull, thigh, and viscera, appeared exceptionally fresh.
