After walking along the winding river for more than twenty minutes, Chu Ge seemed to gradually step out of the territory of the Earth Imp and arrived at a pothole area shrouded in a thick mist.

It can be seen that there is no moss growing on the walls of the nearby cave, and from the fog you can faintly see the towers of something in the depression, like a series of regular tombs.

It was a rudimentary altar made from the corpses of various creatures, and the runes inscribed on it had lost their original effectiveness due to age, and had become the dwelling place of bound spirits.

Originally, Chu Ge had been targeted by the ghosts wandering around since he first entered the crack, but because of the white flame lantern, the ghosts had not been able to get close, so he was not affected.

And now, in order to reach his final destination, to make his way through this fog, he had to break the peace of the ghosts bound here.

Ever since he entered the crack, Chu Ge had been sticking his dagger to the lampshade, allowing the blade to receive the light of the white flame, although the effect was not great, but at least it had also plated the dagger with a layer of silver glow.

The dagger is longer than the normal one, looks closer to the short sword, the handle is covered with snake-like veins, the anti-slip effect is not bad, and the blade is inscribed with the word "Shiva", which is supposed to be the name of the blacksmith.

Although the ghosts will be reluctant to approach because of the existence of white flames, if they forcibly break into their residence, it will inevitably cause them to resist strongly, and it is obviously unrealistic to use ordinary weapons to fight the ghosts, and Chu Ge will definitely not be able to take out high-grade goods like the rune sword now, so the only way to temporarily strengthen the dagger is to use this method.

At the moment when Chu Ge had just entered the mist, his nostrils and ears suddenly seemed to be covered by something, and there was an illusion that the air pressure was instantly unbalanced, but it was immediately dispelled by the light emitted by the white flame.

Immediately, a deep glow emerged from the nearest bone tower, expanding and swirling to form a vague and transparent ghost, its limbs twisted like an octopus.

The ghost rushed towards the target in the second it appeared, although Chu Ge didn't have any particularly good means to deal with the other party, but with the protection of the white flame, he would not be afraid either.

The light produced by the white flame seemed to make the ghost very uncomfortable, and as it approached Chu Ge, the surface of the body began to make a sizzling sound, as if the body was being evaporated little by little.

But even so, the ghost still did not flinch, and attacked Chu Ge like a moth to a fire.

Maybe it's because it thinks it can kill its target before it disappears.

Chu Ge naturally wouldn't give the ghost such a chance, he raised the lamp he was holding in his left hand forward, and then twisted his ankle and flashed to the side of the ghost, holding the dagger and slashing towards the ghost!

Just as he expected, the ghost paused because of the sudden approaching white flame, and the dagger slash also caught this flaw of the other party, directly from the ghost's shoulder to the waist, splitting it in half!

Because the dagger was not long enough, his palm inevitably touched the ghost's body when he used the slash, and he suddenly felt a cold sting pain in the back of his right hand.

[Erosion by cold body, HP -4]

After receiving this slash, the state of the ghost was obviously much worse than Chu Ge's, and its body began to tremble continuously, becoming a little more blurred, trying to re-entangle the broken body.

While repairing its body, the ghost did not forget that Chu Ge launched an attack, but whenever it was about to touch the target, Chu Ge would defend it with a lantern in time, and then counterattack with the situation.

Of course, he would never put his hand into the other party's soul again, although the blood deduction was not much, but the taste was not good at all.

After suffering a few losses, the state of the ghost also reached its limit, it suddenly retreated a distance, stared at Chu Ge with extreme hatred, and its vague mouth also opened widely-

[Howl of the Lesser Dead!] 】

A wave of fluctuations that were invisible to the naked eye centered on the ghost and spread in the direction of Chu Ge, although it didn't make any sound, but everyone could feel the risk.

(The howl of the dead is actually a psychic shock and is not necessarily associated with sound.) ）

This kind of low-level spiritual impact is definitely a fatal threat to first-order creatures, although Chu Ge can rely on that precious little will attribute to carry this move, but he will inevitably suffer a lot of injuries, however, now he did not make any defense, just gently put the lantern in front of his head.

When the mental fluctuations hit the lamp, Chu Ge's vision appeared hazy for a moment, as if the light had been refracted.

And the fluctuations that came from all directions were like entering a quagmire, losing their original power and slowly dissipating into the air.

After sending out the spiritual shock, the ghost had also run out of oil and dried up, and stopped in place in a daze, and was easily cut into pieces by Chu Ge.

【SP+3】

After absorbing the SP value provided by the ghost, Chu Ge frowned, and pondered in his heart as he walked forward.

The strength of this ghost is at least the late stage of the first order, and if there is no special means, even a second-order professional should not want to kill it, if it is life energy to convert the SP value, then the lapis lazuli is really a little less.

He couldn't help but glance at the lantern in his hand thoughtfully.

In the following journey, Chu Ge met a lot of ghosts one after another, but those who dared to take the initiative to attack him were generally not weak, and they were all in the late stage of the first order, but the number of that kind of ghosts was not much, and he only met five in total, providing Chu Ge with a total of 15 SP points.

The most dangerous one was when the three of them attacked Chu Ge together, and although more than twenty health points were deducted, the battle was basically over after inducing them to send out a mental shock.

Because hunting ghosts doesn't make any noise, you can get as much SP as you like, but if it's a dirt imp, you can't.

Although the little ghost of the earth was weak, it was very difficult to completely kill him before he sent the police, so Chu Ge did not make a move.

As for those weak ghosts, he also wanted to try hunting, but as soon as he got closer, those ghosts fled because they were afraid of the white flames, and the speed was not at all what Chu Ge could catch up, so he gave up this idea.

Now his attributes are too weak, and it is really not enough to see in such a dangerous place, so he has no intention of storing a large amount of SP value, and directly increases the basic endurance to Lv3, slightly increasing his physique and strength.

[Basic Endurance Lv3 (0/15): Perseverance in exercising has sharpened your muscles enough, although you can't do it, you will still gain something; Constitution +0.3, Strength +0.15, 3% damage reduction】
