This Witch Transmigrated into the Romantic Novel's Supporting Role

Chapter 156

Zhu Ying took out a talisman, closed his eyes and muttered some words, then threw the talisman on the ground and made a hand gesture, pressing it against the ground. Soon, there was a tremor, a feeling of an earthquake.

The firefighters rushing to put out the fire felt the ground shake, thinking it was an earthquake. They hurriedly lay down and covered their heads, "What's going on? An earthquake? Lingqiu Mountain isn't on a fault line, how could there be an earthquake?"

The team leader ordered everyone to stay down for a while. After a long period of inactivity, they continued toward the fire.

On Chu Yang's side, seeing the bugs crawling out from underground, her hair stood on end! Grass! This pervert Zhu Ying!

Chu Yang turned and ran, with Zhu Ying and the bugs chasing after her.

This wasn't going to work. Chu Yang waved her staff and chanted one spell after another - earth cover, water flood, then fire extinguish. The bugs were burned, giving off a meaty aroma that was quite delicious.

Chu Yang finally stopped to catch her breath. This dead pervert! Seeing the bugs exterminated, Zhu Ying grew enraged. He drew the soft sword from his body and thrust it at Chu Yang.

In her panic, Chu Yang simply blocked with her staff, but having little martial prowess, she stumbled back a few steps, nearly falling over.

She suddenly remembered what Sophia had said - that such scum could be easily defeated. She couldn't let Sophia down. If that was the case, she'd go all out.

Chu Yang closed her eyes and chanted a spell: "Hope from the darkness, rules from hell, evil should be imprisoned, lock!"

Zhu Ying, who had intended to thrust forward, suddenly felt his body locked in place by some unknown force, completely immobilized. No matter how hard he struggled, it was useless.

Zhu Ying couldn't see it, but Chu Yang could - dark energy coiled around his body, wrapping around his limbs. The more he struggled, the tighter the dark energy bound him.

...

On the other side, after waiting for a long time, Chi Yan sensed something was off. Why had Yang been gone for so long? He grew worried, and when his calls went unanswered, he set aside his things, slung a small bag over his shoulder, and hurried up the mountain.

When he reached the summit, he inquired at the restrooms and searched the camping area, but found no one. He realized something must have happened.

Then he noticed smoke rising from the other side of the mountain - a fire. Could Yang have gone over there?

Chi Yan began searching the surrounding area, and near the fencing, he found a hair clip - Yang's hair clip that he had bought for her. She had seemed so happy about it this morning when he helped her put it in her hair. For that, Yang had even given him a kiss, saying, "Thank you, boyfriend."

But now the hair clip lay on the ground, and Yang was nowhere to be seen.

Chi Yan immediately squeezed through the fence, knowing it wasn't right but too worried about Yang's safety to care.

Following the footprints, Chi Yan arrived at the spot where Chu Yang and Zhu Ying had initially fought. From the small and large prints, he deduced there had been two people, one likely a man. A thought flashed through Chi Yan's mind - Zhu Ying! It must have been him!

...

After restraining Zhu Ying, Chu Yang wondered how to deal with him. Kill him directly? That didn't seem right - killing was illegal, even if he was evil and deserved legal punishment rather than her dispensing it.

Chu Yang considered calling Chi Yan to have his uncle send someone over. That would probably be better.

She took out her phone from her bag and saw several missed calls from Chi Yan. She had almost forgotten - he was still waiting for her at the foot of the mountain. Chu Yang prepared to call him back.

At that moment, however, Zhu Ying suddenly pricked his palm with his finger, drawing fresh blood. He began chanting, his eyes turning red, his whole face becoming ferocious.

"Come forth, here is delicious fresh blood, a body brimming with spiritual energy!"

Chu Yang sensed something wasn't right. How could this man, despite being restrained, still cause such trouble?

Then the nearby trees began shaking as if in a strong wind, leaves falling, small branches swaying, not to mention the bushes, which also trembled. Chu Yang realized the area seemed surrounded by graves.

Suddenly, there was a sound of digging from the ground, as if something was emerging from beneath.

Chu Yang felt her body stiffen as she saw the distant graves shifting, something emerging from within. No, it couldn't be...

Chu Yang broke out in a cold sweat. What she feared most was ghosts!

Not ghosts per se, but rotten, decaying corpses crawled out from underground! Their bodies were covered in wriggling maggots, eyes completely white, some eyeballs dangling from their faces, mouths agape and panting.

What the hell was this!

Chu Yang was petrified! This was the 21st century - how could such things still exist! And weren't they supposed to be just bones after being dead for so long? What were these creatures? Ahhhhhhh!

Not just one corpse, but many emerged, crawling toward Chu Yang with long, extended nails.

"Ahhhhh!" Chu Yang turned and ran.

On the other side, following the trail of the fight, Chi Yan finally found the spot where Chu Yang and Zhu Ying had been. He arrived to see Zhu Ying standing motionless, blood dripping from his palm, an eerie smile on his face.

Chu Yang was running and screaming, a horde of disgusting corpses chasing after her.

Despite his fear at the sight of the corpses emerging from underground and pursuing Chu Yang, Chi Yan's greater fear was of Yang being harmed.

He immediately grabbed a stick from the ground and struck the grinning Zhu Ying with it, knocking him to the ground with a cry. Zhu Ying hadn't expected anyone else to be there and was caught off guard.

Chi Yan hurried to find Chu Yang.

Chu Yang ran ahead, but soon corpses appeared in front of her too, surrounding her.

Out of breath from exhaustion, Chu Yang stopped. Suddenly, one of the corpses leapt into the air, reaching for her back. Chu Yang didn't notice, but Chi Yan, who had just arrived, did. He shouted, "Yang!" Before she could react, he trampled over several corpses, running up from behind and embracing her.

The corpse grabbed Chi Yan's back, but he was unharmed. Smoke rose from the corpse's hand as if burned!

Chi Yan opened his eyes. Huh? No harm?

Seeing Chi Yan, Chu Yang immediately jumped into his arms, hugging him tightly. "Wah wah wah! Yan!"
