Benjamin eventually gave up on the idea.

At this moment, escaping from the Kingdom of Hori was no longer their main task. Scaiver's secrets, the ghosts that hide beneath the abyss...... These are worlds that have never been explored before. Besides, it's much safer to take a detour than an unknown shortcut.

He "piloted" the puck and flew to the bottom of the abyss for about half an hour, seeing countless cracks and ghosts along the way. Occasionally, some creatures would be thrown out of the cracks and become food for nearby ghosts, and this scene gradually became commonplace.

"I ...... How long are we going to stay in this place? Can't we fly out?"

Dick gradually calmed down. However, he still felt instinctively afraid when he looked at the strange spirits flying around, especially the scene of the prey that had fallen into the illusion being sucked into a dried corpse by them.

"I finally found a new world, and I just left, what a pity. Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and replied.

In such a large ghost settlement, according to common sense, there will be creatures similar to bosses. He wanted to see if there was anything like the "Ghost Lord".

This will be a very important source of information for the study of undead creatures.

That's right, it's time for them to start a new study.

There is basically zero research on undead creatures in the mage world, and there is nothing like necromantic magic. Benjamin thinks this may be because humanity's current exploration is too narrow.

Now that he's found a colony of undead creatures, he's found a steady source of research material. With his current magic skills, Benjamin may not be able to deal with these spirits, but in the future, ...... These specimens of ghosts are sure to spawn a whole new set of systems.

Magic, telekinesis, runes, magic items...... How much untapped potential is there in this world?

And beneath this abyss, there must be more secrets lurking.

However, after searching for a long time, Benjamin did not find any new undead creatures. Ghosts are the only "creatures" here. They have no autonomous consciousness and do not seem to have a clear mood or purpose, forever just wandering in this place, using sound to drag other animals into illusions, and then relying on instinct to eat.

As a result, there are no bosses among them.

After thinking about it, Benjamin finally decided that he was leaving.

The unknown territory is too big for him to fully explore alone, and he will definitely have to hand over professional explorers to carry out activities in the future. Besides, now that the mountains have become abysses, then ...... What about the world on the other side of the abyss?

That's the other half of the continent that has been split horizontally!

He had to go over and take a look.

Therefore, he could only give up the exploration of the abyss and prepare to leave. Before leaving, though, he decided to take something out of this place.

"Catch a ghost? After listening to Benjamin's thoughts, the system said speechlessly, "The main composition of their bodies is mental power, do you have any tools at hand that can trap the spirits?"

"Of course not. ”

"And how are you going to catch it?"

Benjamin touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Well...... They have very low intelligence, so I think there's always something going on. ”

"For example?"

For example...... Bait. ”

In this way, Benjamin began to fly upwards with him, and soon flew out of the abyss. Unaffected by the illusion, the other side of the abyss also becomes clear - a vast wasteland, and I don't know what else will be beyond. But at this moment, Benjamin was not in a hurry.

Instead, he returned to the territory of the Kingdom of Hori.

"What are you going to do?"

Although he left the abyss, Dick could only fall into confusion and confusion again when he looked at Benjamin, who flew into a forest and began to hunt all kinds of birds frantically.

"If you want to have any pets, you have to prepare their food first. Benjamin threw all the frozen birds into a hemp bag, turned his head, and said, "I'm going to get some rations for those ghosts." ”

Dick's eyes almost popped out, "You...... You're going to raise those?"

"You can't just raise one, just grab one and go back to do research. Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't worry, I haven't had such a strange fetish as raising ghosts." ”

“......”

Dick was speechless for a moment, probably fainting from fright.

In the deserted woods, there are still many small birds living in them. It didn't take Benjamin much time to capture at least a few hundred of them alive. Every once in a while, he carefully kept the birds alive with the Elemental Order?heal, all of which were packed in a giant ice ball and carried back into the abyss.

On the way back to the abyss, the system couldn't help but complain: "You are really inhuman." ”

Benjamin replied with an unchanging face: "Birds are inherently dead." Most of them may end up dead in the forest, in the mouths of other beasts, senselessly. But because of me, they will die for science. It was I who rescued them from that kind of mediocre birdlife, and they should be honored. ”

“......”

Suddenly, the system was speechless for a long time. Benjamin nodded expressionlessly, as if he was so impressed by his own great theory that he didn't know what to say.

Ten minutes later, two pumps, one large and one small, carried Benjamin, Dick, and the hundreds back to the bottom of the abyss.

"What are you going to do?" the system regained its senses and mocked, "you release those birds out of the puck, and all the ghosts will come flooding in." Are you going to take a few hundred ghosts to attack Haven Lite?"

Benjamin shook his head.

"Just look at it. ”

He first controlled the Xiaoice ball loaded with birds, and separated a small ice ball from it and a bird inside. Then, he controlled the Xiaoice ball to fly to the periphery of the ghost settlement, and in an instant, the magic was lifted.

At that moment, the Xiaoice ball disappeared, the bird fell into a hallucination, and a dozen or so ghosts nearby immediately floated over.

Benjamin immediately summoned the water vapor and flew upwards with the bird, trying to escape the ghost's prey. In the face of the moving prey, those ghosts suddenly froze in place, as if they had never seen anyone who had fallen into a hallucination and could fly.

Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The intelligence of these ghosts seemed to be a little higher than he had imagined.

However, that's all there is to their ability to think. After the bird fell into a hallucination, invisibly, a kind of mental fluctuation emanated from the ghost's body, gathered on the bird's body, and then swung back from its body, like a positioning ultrasound sent by a bat. This mental fluctuation stimulates the ghost's instincts, causing them to continue to pounce on the birds after a brief pause.

And their speed has become faster and faster over time.

Benjamin was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the ghost, which usually floats up slowly, could reach a speed faster than that of an ordinary mage when hunting.

Seeing that the bird was about to be wrapped in those ghosts, he immediately cast a spell and condensed a soundproof ice hockey ball again, pulling the bird back from the illusion.

Accompanied by the picture of the bird opening its eyes and flapping its wings, outside the puck is a ghost that accelerates halfway but suddenly stops. They floated around near the birds, but they couldn't find anything.

Although the ghosts were expressionless, Benjamin felt that they must be very confused at the moment.
