Xu Maozong is a resolute character, and it only took him two hours to get back from hearing the news, and everything was ready.

It was almost noon, and the three carriages, accompanied by the guards, quickly drove out of the north gate of Guishui City and onto the official road.

There were only more than 20 people in the entire team, except for Xu Jing's family, the rest were all selected guards who were willing to leave with them.

In order to speed up the march, each guard was equipped with a mount, and it didn't take long for the group to disappear from the sight of the guards at the gates.

Xu Jing learned to ride a horse when he was an orangutan in the last world, but in the main world, he had never ridden a horse, so he didn't do it, but sat honestly in the carriage.

The carriage creaked and bumped along the uneven official road, but fortunately the carriage was covered with thick soft animal skin cushions, which greatly eased the pain of the bumps.

Their destination was Anhe City, located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, about a thousand miles away from Guishui City.

For such a long distance, it would take about a week just by the speed of the carriage.

Xu Jing lay lazily on the bench in the carriage, his head resting on Xiaolian's elastic thighs, enjoying the other party's skillful massage.

Since the system was upgraded to the official version, although there are some things that make him depressed, there are also changes that are useful to him.

One of the most advantageous is that when he crosses, if his body in the Overworld is threatened, the system will protect him for free for a period of time, and give him a hint, so that he has enough time to return to deal with it.

With this convenience, the big stone that pressed on his heart every time he crossed finally landed.

The team was moving fast, and according to Xu Maozong's request, they had to rush to the nearest post station before dark.

The accompanying guards have all seen the fox demon and have begun to understand this dangerous world, of course, they are not willing to risk staying in the wilderness overnight, so they are not lazy on the road.

After only two breaks in the afternoon, the group finally arrived at the post station before dark.

It is said to be a post station, but it is actually a village, with low walls, narrow streets, and more than 100 families in the whole village, in addition to a large number of inns built in the village to welcome merchants and travelers.

At this time, it is time for dinner, and the rows of lanterns in the village are hung high, and the streets are full of people.

For Xu Jing and his party, the people here only glanced at it a few more times, and then looked away in surprise.

As soon as he entered the village, several people who solicited business for different inns surrounded him, and Xu Maozong chose the largest one after some comparison.

Xu Jing sat in the carriage for an afternoon, and was not in the mood to wander around, so after a simple meal, he went back to his room to rest.

He didn't cross, after all, he had just been an orangutan for more than a year, and he had only returned for less than a day, and he was worried that if he crossed continuously, he would forget that he was still a human.

In addition, now the origin point is enough to maintain the health value that continues to decline due to the negative state in a short period of time, and there is no follow-up to the exercises, and there is nothing to improve in strength, so he is ready to give himself some time to adjust.

……

"Finally caught up."

In the middle of the night, on a dirt slope a kilometer away from the village where the post station was located, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the faint moonlight.

"I ran so far, if I hadn't placed the Soul Tracking Seal, I would have miscalculated this time, but it's okay, devouring that kid's flesh and soul here, even if there is trouble, it will be difficult to find my head."

As he spoke, the black shadow flew up lightly, and with a cold laugh, swept towards the village in the distance.

Xu Jing didn't know that he was being targeted, but he didn't let his guard down, although he was asleep, his soul sense was always on alert.

In the haze, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the head of the bed, only to see a vague figure standing beside him.

Ghost?

Xu Jing's mind exploded, and he wanted to turn over, but found that his body didn't obey the call at all and couldn't move.

This feeling is like a ghost pressing a bed, obviously conscious, but I can't even move my fingers.

"I didn't expect that I still underestimated your soul power, yes, it's just great, it's not in vain that I ran so far to chase after me, boy, give up the futile struggle, being targeted by me can only count you unlucky, become my food."

The ghost shadow didn't give Xu Jing any chance, and as soon as the words fell, it exploded violently, turning into a strange cloud of smoke, divided into wisps, and drifted towards Xu Jing's mouth, nose, eyes, ears and other positions.

Made!

Xu Jing scolded his mother in his heart, he had already reacted, this ghost was most likely what he targeted him when he went to Fayuan Temple during the day.

This main world, the strength is weak, and these demons and monsters can be slaughtered wantonly, and the strength is slightly stronger, but it is easy to be remembered like now.

Not only can't you provoke it, but you can't even hide.

What to do?

He summoned the system as soon as possible, and then subconsciously looked at the Vajra Outer Armor, but then quickly shifted his gaze and looked at the plus sign behind the first-order layer of flames.

"Fight!"

Judging from the actions of this ghost, it is obvious that he is preparing to enter his body and directly devour his flesh and soul, and for the sake of today, the most likely thing to inflict heavy damage on the other party is the explosion of flames in his body and burn the other party to death.

If the first floor doesn't work, the second layer will be the second floor, and if the second floor can't work, the third floor, or even the fourth floor!

Want to eat me? Even if labor and management die, they will break your teeth!

The smoke had begun to seep into his body, Xu Jing no longer hesitated, made a decision in an instant, and with a move of his mind, he nodded towards the plus sign.

But at this moment, a cold prompt sound of the system suddenly sounded in my mind:

"Discover the energy that can be absorbed, and whether it is absorbed and transformed into the source point."

What?

Xu Jing wondered if he was hallucinating, and hurriedly stopped the ascension flame.

rolled his eyes, and only after seeing the prompt information that appeared synchronously on the system interface did he dare to believe that this was true.

Ghosts turn out to be absorbable energy?

"Don't worry, boy, I'm going to make you suffer less to thank you for providing me with such delicious food, huh...... Just devour your soul first, and then slowly enjoy your body. ”

The ghost's cold and ruthless voice sounded in Xu Jing's mind, and he didn't have time to think about it, so his thoughts moved, and he clicked on the "yes" option.

"Ah——!h

Suddenly, a terrible scream rang out.

"How so?!"

"Why is this ......happening?"

The smoke in front of him, which had not yet fully entered Xu Jing's body, expanded and contracted violently in an instant, as if he was struggling desperately, but there was no room for resistance at all, and it was pulled and torn apart by an invisible force, and disappeared piece by piece.

“……。”

Xu Jing finally felt that his body could move, and he looked at the constantly beating and increasing origin point a little speechlessly, with a look of incredulity.

……
