Qian Cangyi suddenly understood why the human-snake Bai Lian had started to eat the Resentful Ghosts after hearing this, it was all because of the circumstances of Bai Lian's own birth.
According to Xu Su, Bai Lian was a creature hatched from the bluestone bricks of Ghost Town, nourished by the resentment provided by the town.
When he was immature, the resentment emanating from the Ghost Town was enough to fill his stomach, but as he grew, the dispersed resentment from the town was no longer sufficient. Driven by his own desires, he started to secretly eat Resentful Ghosts.
He relied on his natural hunting instincts, and even though he had not fully developed, he could easily consume the Resentful Ghosts.
The pursuit scenes from just now could be understood as the first time Bai Lian attacked the Resentful Ghosts and was discovered because his appearance was so distinctive that the Resentful Ghosts of Ghost Town could recognize him at first sight.
