Chapter 338: The Phantom of the North Sea
When Tai Shi Ling's words came out, many people didn't know why they said Beihai at first, but when Tai Shi Ling said the latter sentence, some people gradually understood the meaning.
"The Phantom of the North Sea!"
For the vast majority of the monks of the Shengyuan Empire, they may not have come into contact with the ghosts, but they only know that Beihai is located in the north of this continent, to be exact, in the northwest.
Beihai is adjacent to the Tianyan Empire and the Canglan Empire, and the long and narrow coastline encompasses the entire border of the Beihai.
Phantom may be an unfamiliar word to the people of the Shengyuan Empire, but it is the most familiar to the people of the Tianyan Empire and the Canglan Empire near the North Sea.
Especially the people of the two empires living on the shores of the North Sea, the ghost can be said to be their dream.
"Eastern orcs, Western feather people, southern mermaids, northern ghosts!" Tai Shiling stroked his long beard and said lightly.
"Phantom, a cursed monster that haunts the depths of the North Sea for many years, is essentially a human being, nothing more than a cursed human being!"
There were a lot of teachings from the Tianyan Empire and the Canglan Empire in the field, and when they heard Tai Shi Ling say about the ghost, they unconsciously moved a few steps away from the black water.
Under Tai Shiling's explanation, everyone gradually gained a certain understanding of this mysterious species.
The ghost is unpredictable, often haunting the deep sea, and occasionally appearing at sea level.
They are cursed by some kind of land, they can only live in the water, and the sunken ships are their habitat.
People sometimes see ghost ships in the sea, which are actually ghost ships.
Ghosts are rarely seen in the human eye, and even so, fishermen living by the sea still regard them as devils.
Some adults will make up stories to scare disobedient children, such as sharp horns on the head, fish scales on the face, and eating children.
No one can describe what the ghost man looks like, after all, no one who has seen the ghost will come back alive.
"I've had the pleasure of seeing the ghosts, they are not ugly like the fishermen rumored, but real human appearance, except that they have no facial features on their faces, and you can call them faceless people or cursed people!" said Qian Qurong from the Department of Pharmacy.
"Of course, that was decades ago, and I fought with some of them, and they died completely before they turned into a puddle of black water. ”
"Then how can we make them completely dead?" said Thundercloud, frowning.
Before, he chased a grimace powerhouse, but no matter how he attacked the other party, the other party would not die, as if he was immortal.
The entangled thundercloud gradually consumed spiritual power in the process, and the other party was also a strong man of the same level, so the thundercloud did not take any advantage, and even fell behind.
However, it was in this process of eliminating the other's strengths that Lei Yun was attacked by the other party and almost died on the spot.
Fortunately, he kept a few eyes and completely slapped the other party at the cost of being shot through the shoulder, forcing the other party to escape.
It stands to reason that since the other party can't die, it is impossible to escape after taking a slap from himself, and at that time he was still inexplicably unaware of what was going on, but now that he thinks about it, or that slap just hit the other party's vital point.
"Crush their heart cores!" Before Qian Qurong could speak, Tai Shiling added.
"The heart core of a ghost is like a human heart, and when the human heart stops, the human heart loses its vitality. The same goes for ghosts, the core of the heart is their lifeblood. ”
"But what makes their heart core different from humans is that their heart core can move freely, which is why they can't die!"
There was an uproar at the scene, and everyone felt that this was really incredible.
"What disturbs me is that these ghost-faced people are not really ghostly, but they have some characteristics of ghostly people, could it be that something happened on the other side of the North Sea that forced the ghostly people to run to land!" Chai Kong said his question.
"The ghosts can't go ashore, if they are, something must have happened in the depths of the North Sea, and maybe these ghosts have something to prompt them to break the curse and get back on land!"
"But why are they attacking the Academy, is there something about the Academy that attracts them?" Thundercloud interjected.
"Maybe there is, maybe not!" Tai Shiling said indifferently.
Everyone in the Fulong Hall expressed their thoughts and guesses, and they were inconsistent.
In the end, it was concluded that the Academy had been attacked by the Ghostfaces, that they were related to the Ghost People of the North Sea, that the Academy had something they were interested in, or that there was a mysterious force behind them that wanted to attack the Academy.
In the next few days, the academy strengthened security in all aspects, and even the law enforcers who were originally guarding the town at the foot of the academy retreated to the academy to patrol.
For the students who were injured or killed in this incident, the college has given the greatest favor to their families.
And their names were recorded in the annals of the Academy.
Somewhere in the mountains behind the academy.
It's a quiet place, with ancient trees and a myriad of stone monuments.
This is one of the cemeteries of the Academy.
The tombstones record the life deeds of the owner of the tomb, and these are the tombstones of students who have not yet graduated from training or going out to run errands.
Some tombstones only have names on them, while others have words that tell why the owner of the tomb died.
At this time, only two words were engraved on a tombstone: Yuan San.
In front of the tombstone, Yuan Si refused to leave for a long time.
And not far from him, Qing Ming, Song Xuan, Bei Xiaobao, Han Fei and Han Wuren were watching him from a distance.
"Is Xiao Si really okay?" Bei Xiaobao said with a worried face.
"Let him stay alone!" Song Xuan sighed.
With that, the five of them walked out.
"What kind of monster is that Grimace, why did they attack the academy?" Han Piao looked angry, "The next time I meet them, I will definitely break them into pieces!"
"I want to know your questions too!" Bei Xiaobao glanced at Han Piao and said weakly.
"Song Xuan, do you understand?" Han Piao turned his head to look at Song Xuan and said.
Song Xuan shook his head.
"Even you don't understand, I guess no one knows!" Han Piao sighed.
Qing Ming never said a word from beginning to end.
Bei Xiaobao and a few people were worried about Qing Ming, and several pairs of eyes looked at him with concern.
"I'm fine!" Qing Ming said indifferently.
"Is it really okay?" Bei Xiaobao leaned over his face, "You were full of anger at the time, and you killed people when you saw them, no, you killed people when you saw them, I thought you were evil!"
"He is sick, and he will relapse occasionally, and after the recurrence, the six relatives will not recognize him, so you still don't provoke him!" Song Xuan on the side scared Bei Xiaobao.
Bei Xiaobao was full of cleverness, and hurriedly took a few steps away from Qing Ming.
Song Xuan patted Bei Xiaobao's shoulder.
"Tease you!"
Song Xuan looked at Qing Ming's back, and a trace of sadness flashed on his face.
