Benjamin has seen it more clearly. These ghosts may have been humans or animals in their lifetimes...... After death, their spiritual power has been in the specific environment here, and finally formed this special and stable spirit creature.

Most of the time, they just follow their instincts, and they may retain some of their personality elements, but that's about it.

When Benjamin controls the Xiaoice ball, continues to rise, and then thaws again. The bird fell into a hallucination again, and the dozen or so ghosts immediately regained their spirits, and with little doubt, they pounced on the bird again.

In the process, they also gradually detach from the ghost's main range of activities.

In this way, the water vapor carries the bird up, the soundproof ice hockey puck appears and disappears, and the bird comes and goes in the hallucination. These poor ghosts, guided by Benjamin, are far from the bottom of the abyss.

Obviously, they are not very adaptable to unfamiliar environments. In the course of the chase, sometimes the ghosts broke away and turned their heads and flew towards their homes. In the end, only one extraordinarily persistent guy remained, and was led to the abyss near the exit.

"They seem to be afraid of light. The system had been watching the ghost's movements, and said curiously, "Or rather...... Why do you react in fear of the elements when you're just a pure spirit? Maybe you should try light magic, maybe you can trap it. ”

Benjamin shook his head.

"That would kill it, would?"

At the moment, the surrounding light was still very dim, and the intensity of the dark elements was far greater than normal. However, the ghost that chased after him was a little unbearable, its body trembled in the faint light, and the speed of chasing the bird slowed down a lot.

Benjamin couldn't help but wonder if he took it out of the abyss, even at night, it would dissipate directly, right?

He had no choice but to stop the water vapor holding the bird, let the last ghost pounce on it, turn into a "capsule", and completely wrap the bird.

- Let's eat this guy too, maybe when it's full, it's much more resistant to light than it is now.

Surrounded by ghosts, the bird's body is constantly aging. Seeing this, Benjamin manipulated the water vapor again, and continued to fly up with the bird, and the ghost was also carried up. In the process of eating, the ghost also seems to become less sensitive to the increasing light.

In the end, they flew out of the abyss.

It was nearly evening, and the sun was not violent, but it was still very bright. After about ten seconds, the bird completely turned into a dry skeleton, and the ghost left its body. Then, its translucent body trembled violently in the afterglow of the setting sun, and ...... It seems to be getting more and more transparent.

"Quick! give it food, the light elemental has begun to disintegrate its body structure!" the system suddenly shouted.

Benjamin nodded, and immediately pulled another bird out of the big puck and threw it at the ghost.

At that moment, the ghost stopped trembling, and like a hungry beast, it swooped down on the bird.

This time, however, its feeding process seemed to be a little different. The thin dark elements around it did not seem to provide an environment for it to sustain its body, so instead of forming a "capsule" around the bird, it burrowed directly into the bird's body after a single pounce.

Benjamin was also stunned.

This is...... Possessed?

The translucent ghost disappeared before their eyes, and they didn't know if it completely dissipated at that moment, or if it really entered the bird's body. However, the bird still had its eyes closed, its wings folded, and it did not move, as if it was still indulging in the illusion created by the ghost.

And on its body, there is also a similar reaction of the bird that was "eaten" just now - loss of feathers, atrophy, loss of vitality...... It's just that this reaction seems to come dozens of times slower.

"That ghost isn't dead, is it?" Benjamin asked in his mind as he took a deep breath when he saw this.

"Well, not dead. The system replied with interest, "It'...... How do you say that? Parasitized on this bird? A wonderful elemental reaction was born. The surrounding dark elements are slowly flowing into the bird's body, and the light elements are being squeezed out little by little. ”

Benjamin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Interesting......

He still hadn't figured out what the nature of the ghost was, but now it seemed that in addition to spiritual power, the elements of light and darkness also played a vital role in it. It can trigger some elemental reactions that are difficult for other creatures to complete, even if it is just a survival instinct, which shows that this unintelligent undead body has unlimited potential.

And now, he seems to have found a way to carry it?

"Let's check the bird. Thinking so, Benjamin asked again in his mind.

"Am I your servant?" you have to call me to do everything...... "The system muttered, but quickly began to report, "The bird is not dead yet, in fact, it can barely sustain its life." That weak spiritual power should have been completely captive by the ghost and couldn't move. However, I don't think it's possible for a ghost to be able to control this body, and it's really too weak in the current environment. ”

"But...... Little by little, this bird is absorbing the dark element. Benjamin asked rhetorically, "If this body had not been sucked dry, would it have been completely transformed to resemble the bottom of the abyss, and the ghost would have become more and more powerful when the time came?"

"Hmm...... It's not impossible. The system thought for a moment and said, "It's just that although the ghost has slowed down the pace of eating, this bird's vitality is very weak, and I am afraid that it will not even last tomorrow morning." ”

Benjamin smiled.

"So, what about that?"

He cast the Elemental Command Healing again, and as tiny droplets of water converged around the bird, its lifeless body suddenly became alive again.

The system could only be silent for a while, silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke:

"Do you know that what you're doing now is actually dangerous, and you might be able to raise a monster in the future?"

"Mages are monsters. Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Thousands of years ago, when humans first summoned fire from their hands, they probably thought that this thing would destroy the world in the future, but we still have come to this day. Any unknown exploration can get out of control and even lead to great disasters, but should we stay where we are forever?"

The system was stunned for a moment and said, "...... You really have a lot of crooked reasoning?"

"Thank you for the compliment. Benjamin smiled and said, "What's the solution? Morality and truth are inherently contradictory." Without taking risks, there can be no new discoveries. ”
