Chapter 97: Ghost City
Ghosts can be said to be a famous label in Aster City.
In the era of feudal dynasties thousands of years ago, it was the ancient capital of the famous Ten Dynasties in history, surrounded by imperial tombs and noble tombs, as well as several famous ancient battlefields, which later became fertile breeding grounds for ghosts and elves.
Ghost elves and normal elves also have a very different way of reproducing.
Most ghost elves have a gender, and they can normally mate and reproduce like ordinary elves, but the reproduction rate is very low, even lower than that of many long-lived dragon elves.
However, in addition to this, they also have a very special trait, which can be born naturally through the incubation of the Polar Yin Land.
This method is equivalent to being born and raised, without a father and mother, and can be called a true child of nature.
Except for ghosts, there are only a few mineral rock spirits in this world that have such characteristics.
This natural incubation only occurs in certain energy-rich places.
In the territory of the Donghuang Alliance, the most concentrated places where the ghost system energy is rich are all near Ziyuan City.
That's how the title of the Ghost City came about.
This unique label has been with the city for millennia.
Many ghostly elves, which are extremely rare in the human world, can be found almost exclusively here.
But even that couldn't force everyone in the city to like ghosts.
After all, it is impossible for everyone in the city to come here because of ghosts.
After leaving the high-speed rail station, Chen Mu hit a wall twice on the road in succession, and finally found a young girl who looked sassy to lead the way.
The girl claimed to be Liu Motong and was a student at a nearby university.
Because she happened to go to the ghost tower in the suburbs to buy something, after Chen Mu helped her brush the rent of a shared Duduli, she was very enthusiastic that she could lead the way.
The Ghost Tower is a free-range center in Ziyuan City that specializes in the sale of ghost spirits, and is very famous in the local area.
Of course, this reputation is mixed.
On the way, Chen Mu talked about his previous experience of being rejected by people on the side of the road, which made Liu Motong laugh and said: "Haha, it's normal~ Even in Ziyuan City, there are many people who are afraid of ghosts and ghosts.
You don't know, there are community owners near the ghost tower every year, saying that there are too many ghosts there, which causes the yin qi in the vicinity to be too heavy, and blames all the mess on the ghosts, saying that their rheumatism and cold legs for more than ten years are all caused by ghosts. ”
To some extent, this is similar to a complaint from a parallel world owner about a signal base station built near the community.
It's all just psychological in nature.
But this is human nature.
Chen Mu, who was riding on Duduli's back, looked at her sideways and asked, "You don't seem to be afraid of ghosts at all?" ”
Liu Motong nodded generously and said, "Yes, in essence, it's just an elf." Even if they have the talent to absorb life energy, they can control whether to use it themselves, those beast-type elves have the same ability to hurt people, don't there are still a lot of people who like to raise? ”
It can be seen that Liu Motong is obviously the type with a big heart, and he is not afraid at all when he talks about ghosts and beasts, but on the contrary, there seems to be a faint hint of excitement in his words.
She's a tough girl.
After that, she smiled evilly and asked, "But it's really rare for someone of your age to like ghosts, brother, have you talked about girlfriends?" Aren't you afraid that if you absorb too much life energy, you won't be able to find a partner in the future? ”
“……”
Chen Mu didn't answer for a while.
It may be a sad story for him.
Because even if there is no ghost elf, at this time, there is still a Lolita Phantom Divine Beast in the backpack behind his back, thinking about his life energy every day, always thinking about squeezing him to nothing......
After a while, he could only change the topic and said, "You also said that this ability elf can control it by itself, as long as you can suppress them, it will be fine." ”
"Huh? So confident? Little Brother Chen Mu, you look very brave~"
“……”
Chen Mu did not answer again.
However, Liu Motong was still interested.
"Speaking of your parents? They were relieved that you were going to the Ghost Tower alone? Don't you come along?
Also, have you figured out what kind of ghost elves you want to choose? If I suggest it here, newcomers can consider Piaoqiu, which is docile, has a good personality, and looks quite beautiful.
Of course, if you have enough budget and can also look forward to the puzzle Q, it is a popular elf, and you may not be able to book it if you are unlucky.
Ghosts, dream demons or whatever, don't think about it, most of them like to play tricks on people, and they will come out and suck you if they are cold, and ordinary people can't stop it at all. ”
Liu Motong probably regarded him as an ordinary ghost lover, and the advice he gave was quite pertinent.
Two hundred years ago, Chen Mu himself raised ghosts, and later cultivated Geng ghosts all the way, so he naturally had a deep understanding of the bad character of this kind of elves.
It can be called three days without fighting, and the roof is revealed!
Piaoqiu Ball and Puzzle Q are relatively close relatives and good-natured elves, which are indeed suitable for general ghost fans.
It's a pity that Chen Mu is not here to satisfy his strange habits this time, he is here to supplement his strength, so he is destined not to take docile personality as the first consideration.
"I see, thanks for the suggestion."
He simply echoed and did not answer Liu Motong's question.
Then they rode the doodoo into the suburban expressway, and the speed of the ride was soaring.
About twenty minutes later, they came side by side in front of a huge building more than ten stories high.
It is said to be a ghost tower, but in fact, it doesn't seem to have many elements of a tower, it's more of an ordinary building, the only special thing is probably that it is large - it covers a huge area, and it almost looks like a fortress.
After entering the building, Chen Mu originally planned to separate from Liu Motong.
The other party just came to buy some elf supplies, and I heard that it was to buy some professional props for manicures and muscle exercises for the strong chicken.
However, I didn't expect this girl to be quite enthusiastic.
"I'm not in a hurry to buy things, let's go see the elves with you first. You're going to come alone, and I'll be able to help you if you encounter a ghost that you can't control. It's no joke to be sucked by ghost elves, especially when they don't know you well, it's really not a joke, it's really not a joke, it's really a shame that your family is so big-hearted that they dare to let you go alone. ”
It was inconvenient for Chen Mu to refuse her kindness.
He also knew that his current appearance and age were indeed more deceptive, and there was no way to do it.
Then the two of them went to find the staff here together and were taken to the elf area.
On the way, Chen Mu finally said the type of elf he wanted to take away when he came here.
As a result, as soon as he said it, even the staff were stunned.
Liu Motong was even more frightened for the first time.
"You, you...... You want a one-man scabbard?! No way? You don't want to die?!! ”
