The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine - Chapter 605

Chapter 605: Chapter 605: Human Head (Fifth Update)
 

“The servant of the Shui Family drove the car to a lawn outside the mansion, and turned off the engine. “Young Master, are… are you going in now?”

Xia Ying asked, “Are there still some tomb keepers in the mansion?”

“Yes, there are a few tomb keepers living in the mansion who take care of their ancestors’ spiritual tablets.” The servant answered.

“Alright, you can go back.” Huang Xiaolong opened the car door and jumped down, followed closely by Xia Ying.

The atmosphere in the mansion was spooky, while Xia Ying was brave she dared not for half a step leave Huang Xiaolong’s side.

Just as the servant drove the car away, its headlights suddenly blazed brightly, the sound of its humming engine reverberated intermittently.

In no time, dozens of SUVs and pickup trucks arrived where Huang Xiaolong and Xia Ying stood and stopped.

In an instant, the whistling, cursing sounds turned the quiet area into a noisy uproar.

One by one, robust guys in camouflage clothing, muscular with piercing eyes, jumped down from the cars.

They opened the trunk, revealing it was filled with all sorts of sharp weapons, such as electric batons.

A giant nearly two meters tall, with a red cloth tied around his head, swaggered over to Huang Xiaolong, with unconcealed contempt and sarcasm on his face.

“Ha-ha-ha~~ Hi,” as he reached Huang Xiaolong, he gave a laugh, “I’m the Rock, the captain of the Rock Mercenary Corp. Today, since we rushed over here, we couldn’t bring guns and explosives and only prepared some cold weapons. Though, this should be enough.”

The giant man, ‘Rock’, paused and scoffed, “Boss Shui said we should follow your orders? Pfft~~ Hahaha…”

His boisterous laughter echoed in the air.

Many other mercenaries also jeered at Huang Xiaolong-

“Listen to this wet-behind-the-ears kid? Are you kidding?”

“What can he do? When we were killing with guns, I bet he was still breastfeeding!”

“Damn, even instructing us? Don’t make me laugh. Look at him; he barely weighs anything! I can break his nose with a punch and make him cry. Hahahaha~~~”

…

These mercenaries didn’t mince their words and weren’t known for their manners.

Just as Xia Ying was about to lash out, Huang Xiaolong gave her a look, signaling her not to act rashly.

Heh-heh~~ just like looking at a pile of dead objects,” said Huang Xiaolong casually to the mercenaries. “Here is the ancestral house of the Shui Family. I’ll give you a piece of advice; if you don’t want to die, it’s better to stay here and not enter. Of course, if you insist on going in, you don’t need to follow my instructions, we can go our separate ways.”

“Are you suggesting that we should each stick to our own path? Fine, deal! We, the Rock Mercenary Corp, are not used to taking orders.” Rock scoffed, “Don’t try to scare us, we’ve seen it all. Boss Shui mentioned that this place is haunted. Damn~ Haha~~~ Even ghosts fear the ruthless! If we encounter any ghosts, they would definitely dodge us. Scared my balls!”

“If that’s the case, suit yourselves.” Huang Xiaolong no longer paid any attention to these doom-bound mercenaries. He reached out and held Xia Ying’s hand. Xia Ying’s face turned red, but there was no hint of refusal in her heart. The warm and strong qi from Huang Xiaolong’s palm dispelled her fear, and strangely, she began to develop a peculiar feeling towards the mysterious mansion.

“Stay close to me,” Huang Xiaolong whispered, “Not one of those guys will make it out of the mansion alive.”

“Is it that horrifying?” Xia Ying was astounded.

“Hehe, you’ll see soon.” Huang Xiaolong gave a teasing smile.

Behind them, the mercenaries turned on their flashlights and entered the mansion, holding either katana, daggers, stun batons, or tasers in their hands…

Inside the mansion…

This mansion was indeed massive, covering an unknown amount of land. All the buildings were styled after the late Ming dynasty and primarily made of brick; they were well preserved due to the Shui family’s substantial wealth and regular maintenance. Thus, they retained their original character to the greatest extent possible.

The ancestral hall, courtyards, mountain ponds, and pavilions hinted at the splendid history of the Shui Family.

Of course, the modern Shui Family is also powerful.

“Hahaha~~ I didn’t expect that the Shui Family has been a large landlord capitalist since ancient times. I wonder if we can find some valuable antiques.” Next to the leader “Rock”, a few confidants vigilantly scanned around while speaking in a half-joking, half-serious manner.

A monkey-like guy, shorter and slightly thinner, sidled up and whispered to Rock, “Boss, that woman with the boy, she’s a top-level beauty…why don’t we——”

Speaking, a glint of greedy brutality surfaced in the eyes of the thin man.

“Don’t mess around.” Rock knitted his brows, “There’s a dangerous aura around that woman… She’s a tigress, not to be trifled with.”

Inside the mansion, the shade fluctuates and gathers; ghosts are everywhere, though they haven’t shown their phantasmal forms. Except for Huang Xiaolong, no one else can see them. To avoid startling the snake in the grass, Huang Xiaolong concealed the aura of his ghost minions and ignored those ghosts.

The shadows assembled in groups, chatting quietly with foolish grins on their faces, greed plain in their ghostly eyes.

Several ghosts floated up to the mercenaries, cackling, “It’s been so long since I ate human flesh… So many people this time, truly a feast~~ Hehe~~”

The mercenaries spread out across the manor, conducting a carpet search.

“Brothers, search carefully. If you find any so-called ghosts, monsters, zombies, wipe them out for me!” Rock shouted.

Suddenly!

“Boss! There’s a fire ahead!” One of the mercenaries pointed.

Indeed, behind a building in the distance, a raging fire could be seen.

“Let’s go and take a look.” Rock licked his lips, pulled out a dagger from his waist, whistled, “Brothers, get ready to work!”

“Little Long… Seems like there are people?” Xia Ying felt a tightening in her heart. “They must be the tomb guards left by the Shui Family.”

“Hehe~~ Besides ghosts, what kind of human can still be in this mansion? Let’s go and take a look.” Huang Xiaolong chuckled, pulling Xia Ying toward the source of light.

Passing a building, a wide, flat expanse appeared before them. The overgrown weeds rustled in the wind, creating a sound that was incredibly eerie, resembling thousands of demons clapping their hands.

On a vacant space, several men were setting up a pot, seemingly cooking food.

Strands of strange aroma wafted from the boiling pot.

The men’s faces were grim, their features grotesque and their eyes filled with perverted greed. Under the moonlight, their faces and necks showed signs of corpse spots.

“Oh~~ We have guests? There are quite a lot of people… REALLY rare…” A man turned around blankly, looking at the mercenaries.

“Damn, who are you guys?” Rock gave a grim smile. “I heard there are ghosts in this mansion, have you seen any?”

“Ghosts?” The men cooking the food exchanged glances, then burst into a ghastly laughter reminiscent of a saw cutting through wood.

Mysteriously, the mercenaries, including Rock, took a half-step back.

“Since we have guests, let’s have the guests eat first.” One of the kitchen men took out a large bowl and a spoon, stirring the soup a few times before scooping up a round object, “Hehe, guests eat first, come on, eat while it’s hot, it’s delicious.”

Speaking, he swallowed hard, his face expressing salivating greed.

Under the light of the flashlight, they saw that what was in the spoon was a human head!

The face of the human head had been cooked to a pulp, mouth open to reveal a full set of snowy teeth, soup dripped from its hair.

“Damn! Holy shit!” Rock tensed up, “Kill these bastards! Kill them all!”

A dozen mercenaries lunged at them with their weapons!
