Chapter Seventy-One: Exploring the Secrets
In this way, the two ghosts were in front, Lu Tong followed far behind, Lu Tong controlled the distance between himself and the two of them properly, he could clearly see the two of them, and ensure that the two could not find themselves, a few hours later, the two of them arranged for several low-level ghosts on the road, and then each of them was surrounded by several middle-level ghosts, and walked in the opposite direction, Lu Tong was overjoyed, gave up the ghost with only half a head, followed the stump-like ghost closely, waited for the opportunity, killed the ghost, and snatched the heart of the spiritual vein.
But for the next two days, the stump-like ghost seemed to be crazy, tirelessly, leading several mid-level ghosts, one onizuka after another, as if they were looking for something.
In the past two days, Lu Tong was also in distress several times, and was almost found by these ghosts, but fortunately he was clever to avoid it, in the end, the stump-like ghost may be helpless or tired, and he commanded other ghosts, and he flew away with two of his subordinates, through several dense forests, and came to a huge ghost mound, the stump-like ghost gently pushed a stone with a branch-like thin hand, and then a stone door slowly opened, and the stump-like ghost led two subordinates to walk in, Lu Tong hesitated slightly, worried that there would be any prohibition or defensive means such as the magic circle, but after a little consideration, he gritted his teeth and carefully followed inγ
Along the way, he didn't find any protective magic arrays or prohibitions, which surprised Lu Tong a lot, could it be because there were only ghosts in the late stage of Qi cultivation at most, high-level beings like stump-like ghosts, and there was no need to set up any defenses at all? Or did all the ghosts in the land of ghost mounds have no means of protection in their own lair?
Lu Tong's guess is generally good, in the land of Yunyang Ghost Mound, like a stump-like ghost, it is the highest existence, most of them have their own cave mansions, their own shili, and have the same authority as the Yuanying Elder of the Qingquan Sect, they are not afraid of any danger at all, they don't believe that there is a foreign monk like Lu Tong, who dares to follow him to the lair, what is the difference between that and looking for death.
Following the three ghosts, they came to a spacious stone cave, and Lu Tong carefully hid in a recessed stone trough at the entrance of the stone cave, and observed the nest of the stump-shaped ghost.
In the huge stone cave, there are stone tables and stone benches, and there is even a huge emerald green jade stone in the innermost part on the left side of the entrance, which is inlaid with dozens of dark and angular stones, which are particularly dazzling, and the stump-like ghosts have just sat down at the stone table, and the stone wall on the right side of the entrance suddenly opened, and several of the lowest-level ghosts walked out of it without raising their heads, offering tea and food, and then trembling back into the stone wall, all of which shocked Lu Tong almost didn't shout out loud: " Unexpectedly, this little high-level ghost not only has subordinates, but also slaves. β
This seemed unimaginable to the outside world, but when he thought that this place was the land of Yunyang Ghost Mound, and an existence like a stump-like ghost was the highest authority, Lu Tong suddenly realized.
"My lord, the terrain and environment of this ghost mound land have changed many times over the past ten thousand years, and it is too difficult to find it without a goal like ours. One of his men said to the stump-like ghost.
"Yes, my lord, this is not a way at all, rather than wasting your efforts in vain, it is better to organize the brothers to hunt down the alien Terran monks this time, so that you may still be able to gain benefits, help you achieve positive results as soon as possible, and advance to the ghost warriors like Nushan and Lord Evil, and leave here?" another subordinate chimed in.
"Don't say anything in front of me, or I'll make you look good. When he heard his subordinates talk about Nu Mountain and Evil E, the stump-like ghost said angrily.
Seeing that their leader was angry, the two middle-level ghosts could only quickly close their mouths and stand respectfully to one side, the stump-like ghosts thought about the stone bench for a while, suddenly stood up, and ordered: "It's not important to hunt down foreign monks, the most important thing at the moment is to find that rat hole, inform all subordinates, and do your best to do this well." β
"Yes. Two mid-level ghosts replied.
"My lord, there is still something I don't understand, and I would like to ask you to point it out. One of the mid-level ghosts asked.
"What?" replied the stump-shaped ghost.
"My lord, what treasures are there in the monk's cave that Gu Gongzi asked us to find from nowhere, and it is worth ignoring the opportunity that you have only in 200 years to hunt down and kill monks from the outside world?
"You two are the most powerful and trusted subordinates of Lord Ben, and sooner or later this cave will be passed on to the two of you, and it is okay to tell you, but you must not tell others when you know about it. The stump-like ghost hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke.
"Thank you for your trust. The two looked at each other and replied in unison.
"The benefits that may be obtained by hunting monks, how could I not know, but compared to the benefits promised by that Gu Gongzi, this has become an inconsequential matter, you all know, we were born here, once we succeed in cultivation, we will be forcibly sucked away when we enter the ghost monk level, do you know where we will go? Do you know what kind of state it is like to go there?"
Seeing that both of them shook their heads, the stump-like ghost continued:
"Once we have achieved cultivation, the advanced ghost warriors will be forcibly sucked away and arrive at the place where the Gu Gongzi came from, or somewhere else, anyway, it is considered the real underworld, it is said that the low-level ghost warriors who have just gone there like me are worthless, just like they are enslaved by higher-level existences, and it is difficult to make an inch of progress in cultivation from now on, which is also the sadness of the ghosts here, not only to desperately improve their cultivation to avoid being devoured by other ghosts, but also to fear that their cultivation will be successful and be forcibly passed away. As he said this, he pointed to the slave in the wall.
"Unless it is a coincidence, he is valued by a certain adult and accepted as a subordinate, so that such an ending can be avoided, and that Gu Gongzi is the son of a certain big man in the underworld, who has performed a secret method and came here, promising us that as long as we find that damn rat hole, we can defect to him after entering the underworld and avoid the end of being enslaved. The stump-like ghost finished speaking, and its whole body shook several times.
"My lord, my subordinates heard that Gu Gongzi is almost the same as your cultivation, since he rushed from the underworld to find the monk cave, there must be some immortal treasures there, in this case, why should I listen to his drive, find the cave, kill that Gu Gongzi, and share the treasures, maybe when he enters the underworld, he will have something to rely on. One of the mid-level ghosts said again.
"Stupid, that Gu Gongzi can make Nushan and Xi'e become the foundation building ghost warriors to stay here, do you think he only has the strength that he shows on the surface? Use your brain more in case of trouble, don't keep thinking about treasures and treasures, otherwise you won't know how to die if you die one day. The stump-like ghost's whole body shook several times, and the atmosphere scolded.
"Do as you have been told, and do not let up for a moment, but go quickly. With all this, the stump-like ghost angrily waved its withered palm.
The two middle-level ghosts glanced at each other, slowly retreated, and continued to look for the monk's cave, only the stump-shaped ghosts were left alone in the huge cave, and the lowest-level ghost servants did not come out, he looked at the figures of the two middle-level ghosts disappearing at the entrance of the cave, his body shook several times, and he let out a long sigh from his cheeks that resembled human heads.
Then, the stump-like ghost entered the cultivation state, and the entire body showed cyan and gray light flashing alternately, suddenly, the stump-like ghost was surrounded by green mangs, and a small piece of cyan stake wrapped in gray gas appeared from his body, and appeared in front of him, this stump-shaped ghost was about to quickly recover his mana with the help of this small spiritual vein heart in his possession, but at this time, an accident happened, and the spiritual vein heart wrapped in gray gas suddenly trembled rapidly, as if Yujian had some terrible natural enemy, and there were signs of breaking free from the restraints and escaping outside the caveγ
The stump-like ghost was frightened, and hurriedly used his mana to recover this small piece of wooden stake, and at the same time shouted in his mouth: "Who is so big, dare to ......."
Before the words were finished, suddenly the figure of a young blue-clothed monk appeared in front of him, a cyan arrow was extremely fast, rushed to his body, and hit directly, the whole body of this high-level ghost flickered up and down, and after flashing rapidly alternately a few times, it exploded with a "bang", and the light disappeared, leaving only a miniature small tree stump in place, struggling to fly, and galloping towards the outside of the cave.
"If you want to run, you come back for me. Lu Tong's figure appeared at the exit of the hall in a flash, and with a flash of white light in his right hand, he firmly grasped the miniature stump in his hand, and then the gray gas disappeared around the small cyan stake in mid-air, and fell to the ground, as if he was extremely frightened, flashing cyan light intermittently.
