Chapter 188: High-level ghosts?
I walked over to the wound that the king had found. This place is not so much a wound as an injury, as the skin is still intact and shows no signs of collapse or breakage. The wound on the neck of the Mountain Ghost King was only a little dry and black, and its epidermal tissue was not damaged in any way, and there was not even a single wound in the other parts of the Mountain Ghost King's body.
"What kind of injury is this?" Matsumoto Masaga also came over to look at it for a long time, and finally asked his own question very suspiciously, he had obviously never seen such a wound.
"It's a wound from a spirit attack." The words of the Child of the Night answered Matsumoto Masaga's question. Although the attacker was a mountain ghost of RB, Matsumoto Masaga obviously didn't know much about the creatures of the necromancer, and the Children of the Night were relatively better, anyway, they were orthodox necromancers.
I pinched the skin of the wound a little harder, and then I heard something like a pancake breaking, and then I saw that the part I had pinched had completely pulverized into a pile of shards and fell down. "Judging from the cauterization of the wound, this attacker is a high-end existence of the undead system, and only a very condensed hellfire can burn the skin of the mountain ghost like a shortbread!"
"That's it!" Matsumoto Masaga watched me discuss with the King and the Children of the Night, but he didn't interject at all. Undead stuff really wasn't his specialty.
After a little analysis, we were able to roughly determine the identity of the attacker. First of all, this attacker is an imaginary undead, and his height should be about the same as that of a normal human, and it is a humanoid spirit, not a monster-like thing. In addition, the speed of this attacker is very fast, because according to the information provided by the mountain ghost we persuaded to surrender, their boss was killed in a head-on confrontation after accepting the challenge, and we did not find a second wound on the mountain ghost boss, we can only say that the guy is super fast, otherwise it would be impossible to end the battle with one move. However, there was a problem in the middle, and the problem was the mountain ghost we persuaded to surrender. According to his memory, the attacker had come to them first and then made an appointment to start the war, and the mountain ghost himself admitted that he was present both when the attacker came to make the war letter and when their boss was killed, which meant that he should have seen the guy twice, but he didn't remember what that guy looked like at all. It is naturally impossible for the mountain ghost's intelligence to play with us, and his appearance is indeed not normal. He was pretty sure he had seen the guy, but no matter what he thought, he didn't remember it at all, and he didn't even know what the guy was in.
"Don't guess, the memory of that guy in this guy's head has been erased." After the princess came out of the horse, the problem was found. The princess's specialty is charm-charm-,And charm-charm-can also be understood as a kind of mental attack.,So the princess still knows a lot about spiritual things.,Besides, I have a spirit body demon pet phantom to help.,With the cooperation of the two, the problem was quickly found.ć
The gold coin asked the princess, "Is there a way to restore his memory?" ā
The princess shook her head: "No, the entire memory of that part has been burned, and I can only know what memory is missing there, but I can't find out what it is!" ā
"The problem is so complicated, could it be that the attacker and our mission have nothing to do at all?" Athena Asamiya asked.
I shook my head. "It doesn't matter if it can't be. The quest scroll only gives the simplest information, and the reward for this quest is the exaggerated super skill, so the difficulty of the quest must be high and scary, if these clues are too simple, I have to wonder if I have found the wrong direction, and now I find such a difficult puzzle - I am not worried. ā
"But how are we going to proceed next?" Matsumoto asked me with some concern.
"It's easy! Just find the creature. Naturally, he will take us to the next stage of the mission. If that creature is strong enough, then it's likely to be the end goal of the quest, and killing or defeating it should give you the quest reward. ā
"I hope so! But how do we find the attacker? ā
In order to answer Matsumoto Masaga's question, I turned my wrist over directly, and then a ghost beetle immediately spun out of the wormhole and crawled onto my palm. "When a person walks through an area, he leaves a scent on his body in that area, and although we can't smell it, the dog can track the smell all the way to the person. High-end ghosts are virtual creatures, they don't drop scent molecules from their bodies while moving, so no matter how good their noses are, they don't want to track ghosts, but ghosts are also negative energy bodies, and they will uncontrollably make the surrounding environment negative energy, which is the main reason why if there are many high-level undead gathered together, that area will quickly become a negative energy gathering area and form an environment like death-mist-fog. In contrast to the dog's nose, my ghost beetle has a talent for finding faint traces of negative energy. ā
"So you can track ghosts?" Matsumoto asked excitedly.
"Of course, I started in the dark profession, and I've seen a lot of ghosts."
After determining the general identity of the attacker, we began to rely on the ghost beetle to track the target, as soon as the ghost beetle I released appeared, it immediately scattered in place and searched around, and soon several ghost beetles found the target and began to concentrate in one direction, and the other ghost beetles also quickly gathered, and soon the ghost beetles I released gathered in a straight line and began to crawl forward, seeing this situation, needless to say, I also knew that the direction was the direction that the attacker left.
"Everybody keep up." Chasing the ghost beetle, he left the cave-cave of the mountain ghost and began to run out. Although the ghost beetle is not large, it has inherited the consistent characteristic of insects, that is, it is super fast. Most of the bugs we see aren't as fast as we are, but that's because they're small, and if you zoom in on ants and cockroaches to human size, they're definitely no slower than cars. My ghost beetle itself is almost as big as the Big Apple, and with its demonic creatures and wings, its movement speed is not slower than that of a war horse, and the slowest of us had to ride on the back of my Nightshadow to keep up with the speed of the ghost beetle.
Since I was only in charge of tracking, I only released a thousand or so ghost beetles, and they gathered on the ground to form a large group of bugs and quickly shuttled through the forest, and soon reached the vicinity of a huge rock. Without a pause, the bug team climbed over the stone, and then as if walking into a curtain of water, all the ghost beetles penetrated the stone.
"Not an illusion!" Athena, who was the fastest, chased after the big stone and saw the ghost beetle crawling into the stone and quickly reached out on the stone and touched it, she thought that there must be something like a hole hidden by an illusion, but who knew that it was an entity when she touched it.
I ran to the stone and released a few more ghost beetles, and after watching them climb into the stone, I explained, "My ghost beetles are also half-spirits, they can be etherealized into ghosts, they don't go inside the illusion, they go through the stone!" ā
The Child of the Night looked at the huge boulder that looked like a small mountain and said, "Could it be that the ghost we were tracking wanted to take a shortcut, so it went straight through the rock, and your ghost beetle followed it?" Why don't we go over there and wait? Maybe they'll crawl out of the other side in a moment! ā
The king, who had never been taken back by me, immediately corrected the child of the night as soon as he heard the words of the child of the night: "Ghosts were also human beings in their lifetimes, and they basically still retain some small human habits, so if they are not deliberate, few ghosts will pass through obstacles. ā
The gold coin also confirmed: "Yes, I have been to the ghost prison to cultivate before, and the ghosts over there will habitually bypass the obstacles when they encounter them, although they will not be blocked at all, but it is customary that no ghosts will pass through the obstacles. ā
After hearing this, Bingbing said, "That means that there is a reason why that ghost entered the stone, right?" But we can't go through walls, do we? Do you need to knock this stone open? ā
"Whatever it's going to do in there, let's dig a hole and see what the situation is, right?" Matsumoto Masagati yƬ said.
"That's all I can do for now." After I finished speaking, I opened the phoenix dragon space and put a puppet out of it. I'll always have a couple of puppets with me wherever I go anyway, and sometimes they're much better than living creatures. At first, they were a little suspicious when they saw me release the Puppet Nightchild, but soon they understood what I meant, because after I released the puppet, I turned the Eternal Sword in my hand into a giant coal digger drill and handed it to the puppet, who removed his wrist and loaded my eternity on it. The biggest difference between the puppet's wrist and the carbon-based creature is that its wrist can rotate 360 degrees, and it's fast, and attaching the drill bit to its wrist is basically equivalent to turning Eternity into a giant drill. In fact, we could have destroyed this stone faster by other means, but the problem is that the movement caused by blasting this stone is definitely not small, in case this stone is not the entrance directly to the living place of the creature, then wouldn't it directly alarm it? Besides, that creature is obviously intelligent, and you blow up someone's house as soon as you come up, and it's hard not to fight after that! Let's dig a small hole in it, firstly, because the sound is small, and secondly, if it is really someone's house, it is easy to make up for it.
With the eternal sharpness, there is basically no difference between cutting stones and cutting tofu, the speed is fast and there is no sound, and after a while, it takes four or five meters to dig in, and then the puppet suddenly stops the rotation of its wrist and begins to reverse, and after a while, the eternity is withdrawn. We came over to take a look, and it turned out to be dug through.
As soon as the puppet pulled out the eternity, Athena Asamiya quickly drilled through the hole, and a few seconds later, her voice came from inside. "It's just an entrance, there's an underground passage underneath!"
