Jian Jiu was wandering at the edge of the forest, looking into the depths of the forest from time to time, and there was some worry in his cold eyes.

"Sword Nine. ”

Ye Mingke suddenly shouted, he didn't look up, but continued to stare at the line of initial data after wiping off the dazzling "seventy-seven", his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

"Did you find anything?"

Jian Jiu's heart moved, and he walked quickly in front of Ye Mingke.

"I suspect that the law of ghosts becoming stronger is directly related to the spiritual power you consume in each battle. You don't add that seventy-seven, check it, I don't know how to calculate the spiritual power you consume. ”

"Since it's counting the amount of spiritual power consumed, why don't you add that seventy-seven?" Jian Jiu frowned as he looked at the line of numbers.

"You count first!" Ye Mingke said directly.

"Good. ”

Jian Jiu didn't hesitate, but directly started calculating.

But...... After a while, they were greeted by a chaotic and irregular pile of numbers.

"Something went wrong?" Jian Jiu looked at Ye Mingke, his eyes full of inquiry.

"Something went wrong. Ye Mingke's brows tightened, and his gaze still never left the number in front of him, "But, why did it go wrong?"

Is this line of thinking really not working?

He pondered.

Song Mingyu on the side woke up from the meditation, saw Jian Jiu and Ye Mingke together, and got up and came over.

"Have you found a way to deal with ghosts?" asked Song Mingyu without much hope.

Jian Jiu shook his head, indicating no, and raised his eyes to look at Song Mingyu again.

"How's your true essence recovering?" he asked.

"Almost. Song Mingyu replied.

At this time, Ye Mingke, who was thinking hard, suddenly heard the question and answer between the two of them, and something seemed to suddenly flash in his mind, but the impression of that thing was very faint, and he tried his best to remember it but couldn't.

"What were you talking about? Say it again!"

He raised his head suddenly, his eyes were burning and he stared at Song Mingyu and Jian Jiu as if he had gone mad and asked loudly.

His tone was extremely impolite, as if he was questioning. Song Mingyu had been yelled at like this by a mortal, and he was about to refute it as soon as he raised his eyebrows.

Jian Jiu sensed that Ye Mingke was looking for something crucial, and signaled Song Mingyu to be quiet in time, and then he looked at Ye Mingke and said carefully recalling.

"I asked Mingyu if Zhenyuan has recovered just now?" she replied, almost. ”

True Element Recovery?

Ye Mingke stared at Song Mingyu's pretty face with a thin anger in it, listening to Jian Jiu's repeated words, the extremely faint impression in his mind broke free from the depths of his unconscious little by little.

It was last night, and Song Mingyu, who had just woken up from his meditation, was also indignant. She said—

"In this ghost place, Zhenyuan disappears faster than usual, and recovers slower than usual, what the hell. ”

He knocked out a number that went in the wrong position, and now he feels like he's found a number that is missing.

"Jian Jiu, in the calculation just now, plus the amount of true yuan flow in the misty sea that you have more than the usual true yuan flow, calculate it again!"

When Jian Jiu heard this request, his eyes lit up, and he checked it directly on the ground again. Familiar values emerge one by one along with the winding techniques.

Removing the small errors between Jian Jiu's estimation and reality, they are all extremely familiar with the number that comes out.

That's one, three, seven, nine. And then from twenty onwards, twenty-seven, thirty-nine, forty-nine.

They've finally found the thread that can string all the numbers together!

"But why is that?" Jian Jiu raised his head and looked at Ye Mingke, the joy in his starry eyes was full of confusion.

"That seventy-seven is wrong, I guess it's because the consumption of the Enlightenment Talisman can't be counted towards the cost of your battle with the ghosts. ”

"And the last amount added is because even if you are not fighting, the demon is constantly drawing some of its power from you. ”

Ye Mingke looked at the numbers calculated by Jian Jiu on the ground, like a weight off the ground.

"The Spiritual Talisman can't be counted towards our consumption because it's a charm?"

"No, someone has used a charm a few times before. The reason why the Spiritual Talisman is different is that it is so powerful that we can't use spiritual power to drive it, but it is triggered by spiritual power, so the rules of the ghost will not judge it as our power. ”

Jian Jiu's mind turned, and he quickly found the key to it.

"That's also my guess. Ye Mingke replied.

"So, the way to deal with ghosts has come out!" Jian Jiu's sword eyebrows raised slightly, and his pupils lit up with fierce sword intent again.

"Yes. And there's a good chance we'll only get one chance. ”

Ye Mingke's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Jian Jiu cautiously.

"What method?" Song Mingyu on the side hurriedly asked.

"But...... Why did Li Guifan go for half an hour?

Jian Jiu didn't answer Song Mingyu's question immediately, but thought of what he was worried about just now, and looked into the depths of the forest again, his eyes even heavier and worried.

At this time, three hours have passed since the appearance of the ghost, and the probability of the appearance of the ghost has become more and more large.

"I'll check it out now and I'll be back soon!"

Jian Jiu knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he flew directly into the forest, and his figure quickly disappeared into the forest.

"Hey, what the hell did you come up with?"

Song Mingyu squatted down, looked at Ye Mingke, who was rubbing his eyebrows and looked pale and haggard, and asked fiercely.

Hearing that there was a possible way to fight the ghosts, everyone in the field, including Ying Kui, subconsciously came over.

Ye Mingke did not put down the hand that was rubbing his eyebrows, but still replied with his head down.

"The ghost will grow as you destroy it with more power, and eventually we will fall into a cycle of ghosts getting stronger and stronger, until the ghosts will grow strong enough to kill everyone. ”

"If you want to break this cycle of death, you either kill the ghost directly without using your spiritual power in the first place, but now it is impossible, you can only use the power that does not belong to you to destroy the ghost to interrupt this cycle of death, such as ...... Amulet. ”

"Enlightenment Talisman, now only Senior Brother Li Guifan has one. ”

Song Mingyu raised his head and looked into the depths of the forest.

She understood why Jian Jiu was so nervous just now and Li Guifan, who had not come back, not only because she was worried about Li Guifan, but also because Li Guifan still had the only spirit talisman that could break the game.

Many others also looked into the depths of the woods, their eyes anxious and worried.

They waited for a long time, and the pressure of the ghost's appearance at any moment made them feel as if time had stood still and was too heavy to breathe.

But Jian Jiu and Li Guifan have not yet appeared.

"Anyway, Fu is with them, the two immortals won't leave by themselves, right?"

Fang Wu, who had just had the courage to raise his head on the side, said tremblingly after a while.

"Shut up! Jian Jiu is not that kind of person!"

also waited until Song Mingyu, who was anxious, turned his head and said angrily at Fang Wu.

"Jian Jiu is not, nor does he have this motive. What about Li Guifan?"

Ye Mingke, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and asked coldly.

"Of course the elder brother will not. ”

Song Mingyu subconsciously replied firmly.

"Why, why are you so sure?" Ye Mingke asked rhetorically.

"Because ......"

Song Mingyu was about to speak, but she didn't know how to talk about it for a while, she thought for a while and said with some hesitation.

"Because...... Because the senior brother is the leader of the team, he has always been the most mature and stable person in this team. He cared about everyone in the team. Even if he even agreed to your request to let you join us, didn't he handle it?"

"He's a guy who takes advantage of people. But not necessarily a person who really cares about others. ”

Ye Mingke remembered that Li Guifan, who had been looking at him with a kind smile at the place where they met, was also smiling kindly and watching Ying Kui pressing him step by step, and his eyes became cold.

"Otherwise, you bumped into that ghost who escaped and returned, why did Jian Jiu use his Enlightenment Talisman first, instead of him as the leader of the team?"

"Why is it that in every battle, he is in a safe place, always in the first position of the sword nine?"

"That's ...... That's because although Jian Jiu started later than Senior Brother, he was the one with the highest cultivation among us. ”

Song Mingyu retorted with still reluctance to be suspicious.

"And, why would he go alone?"

Ye Mingke looked away and did not continue to argue with her.

He didn't like it.

The only thing that can wake up a person who doesn't want to wake up is the harsh reality, not the words of a certain person.

Jian Jiu returned, but there were a lot of leaves and dust on his always spotless white clothes. He walked out of the woods with a gloomy and cold face, and his steps were heavy.

"He's gone. Jian Jiu walked through everyone and said coldly.

"Senior brother is missing?" Song Mingyu asked without giving up.

"It's not that he's missing, it's that he's gone. ”

Jian Jiu closed his eyes, and his voice was as cold as ice.

"I feared that he had encountered a ghost or other danger alone, and followed his breath across the island, and finally found his sword at sea. ”

"He went on his own. ”

Song Mingyu heard Jian Jiu's words as if he had been struck by lightning, and took a few steps back with a pale face, shaking his head, and said in disbelief.

"But...... Why?"

"Mingming...... We've found a way, so we can all survive?"

But he didn't know it when he left, and most people were desperate at that time. He just wants to live a little longer, a little more hope to get out. ”

Ye Mingke calmly said his guess.

"He walked alone, with the Spiritual Talisman present, he could have escaped at least one ghost attack. And if the ghost comes to attack us, then he can survive at least two ghost attacks and find a way out. ”

"Just for ...... If he lives for a few more hours, will he leave us behind?" Song Mingyu said abruptly.

"There is some hope if it can be a little longer. ”

Jian Jiu remembered Li Guifan's gloomy face when he muttered these words last night, and his heart was as cold as ice, and there was anger as fierce as flames.

The audience fell into a dead silence and despair and silence again.

"So now, are we all waiting to be killed by the ghosts?"
