Chapter 24: The Ghost Pet's First Fight with the Art of Disguise
"It turns out that this is where ghosts hide during the day." Wu Yi watched Xiao emerge from a tree with a ghost in his mouth. He was extremely surprised. Before, he only knew that ghosts lived in cold and remote places during the day. After escaping from the sun, I finally discovered where the ghosts were hiding.
But then Wu Yi no longer felt strange about this, because after that, he found a large number of ghosts in the soil, in the river, and in the rocks, which made Wu Yi numb.
Every time he found a batch of ghosts, if he was weak, he would swallow them in one gulp. If he was a little stronger, he would first use his tail to beat them to pieces, draw the ghosts into a ball of yin energy, and then swallow them. Most of the ghosts outside Dahuai Town were fierce ghosts. , was not enough to threaten Yan, so Wu Yi simply ignored him and allowed Xiao to find food on his own.
"This is a ghost cave. No wonder there are endless ghosts at night." With a ghost-level ghost pet, Wu Yi has a deeper understanding of this place.
, there must be one, otherwise so many ghosts would not appear, but if there were, they would definitely be occupied by superior ghosts, and the Yin Qi would not be leaked to this extent. Could it be that the ghosts are really going to be promoted to ghost kings, and their ability to control the ghosts has declined. Yet?
Wu Yi followed behind Yan to clean up the remaining Yin Qi left by Yan, and kept thinking about the root cause of the problems in Dahuai Town.
It's just that if a ghost wants to be promoted to the King of Ghosts, then the demand for Yin Qi will be greater. It stands to reason that the control of Yin Qi will be tighter, how could it leak so much.
So if it is because the ghost failed to be promoted to the Ghost King and was seriously injured, all this can be explained.
Thinking of this, Wu Yi himself couldn't believe his speculation. After all, it was too shocking. But this explanation is currently the only best answer that can solve all current problems.
Monks practice against the will of heaven, so are ghosts. It becomes more and more difficult as time goes by. The structure of this world is originally like a pyramid, with the upper tip wide and the lower part wide. It is extremely cold at high places. It means that the higher you go, the fewer people there are. So It is entirely possible for a ghost to fail in being promoted to Ghost King.
If this ghost fails to be promoted, is seriously injured, and its ability to control the body is greatly weakened, and the first appearance of Yin Qi in Dahuai Town was a few years ago, which means that it failed a few years ago, then what will happen? Could it be that it is now fully cultivated and ready to hit the realm of the Ghost King again?
This is another kind of speculation. Wu Yi tried his best to restore the prototype of the incident based on the information he controlled.
"It's a pity that I haven't been here long, and I'm not familiar with the changes in Yin Qi in Dahuai Town, otherwise I could have inferred it." Wu Yi said with regret.
At this moment, Xiao stopped in front of him and faced off with a ghost in front of him. They each released their momentum, scaring the surrounding ghosts into fleeing.
It should be that Xiao accidentally broke into the sphere of influence of another spirit ghost, and the original owner came out to drive it away.
Ghosts have a very strong sense of territory, especially the territory near the border, which directly affects the amount of Yin energy they absorb, which in turn affects the improvement of their cultivation. Therefore, if there is a territory invasion, both parties will often fight to the death.
Feeling the confrontation between the two sides from a distance, Wu Yi held back his breath and watched carefully. This was the first peer-to-peer battle after Jin was promoted to a spirit ghost. Wu Yi wanted to know what Jin's fighting talent was. By the way, if Jin was revealed Even if he was at a disadvantage, he wouldn't mind helping.
Facing the tiger was an eye-catching white-fronted tiger with a majestic appearance. It was able to evolve its body so realistically that it could be seen that it had been in the spirit ghost realm for quite some time. Even its body shape was many times larger than that of the tiger.
Although Xiao was obviously at the bottom, he was not timid at all. He curled up and stared at the big tiger with a pair of vertical pupils, spitting out messages again and again, ready to go.
The tiger's body was also half bent, and its right front hoof rubbed hard against the ground, leaving a conspicuous mark on the ground.
In the end, it was Xiao who was the first to attack, but this was a wise move. Weak versus strong, if the weak failed to seize the most suitable opportunity to attack, then fighting would be a dead end when both sides were ready.
Moreover, the tiger's body is huge, so its flexibility is naturally inferior to that of the tiger. The correct way is to use your own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses. If you compete in strength, you are asking for trouble.
Seeing that Jin was the first to attack, the tiger roared loudly, causing the forest to rustle, and rushed forward with a slap on the ground.
But Zhen did not engage in a head-on battle with the tiger. He twisted his soft body around the tiger's giant palm and passed under the tiger with a swipe. When the tiger reacted, Zhen had already launched an attack from another direction.
For a long period of time, the two sides were in a struggle. The tiger was determined to find the best opportunity, while the tiger found that its flexibility was not as good as the tiger's. Its four legs were rooted in the earth like pillars, so as to cope with everything. However, once the attack starts, it will raise its palm or wave its tail, and the attack has not made any substantial progress.
If you look at it at this time, you can't tell that both of them are ghosts at all. They are clearly like living creatures. However, when Xiao dodged the tiger's tail and bit hard on the tiger's lower abdomen, the blood that flowed out was not bright red. Instead of blood, there were wisps of gray mist, which was Yin Qi. Moreover, after driving away the tiger, the tiger's wound closed again little by little, and within a few breaths, no trace of injury could be seen at all.
Being bitten by the extremely weak snake in his eyes, the tiger looked up to the sky and let out a roar, even the clouds in the sky were dispersed. This showed the depth of his anger. He shook his whole body, and his hair stretched up to his fingers, like steel needles. , the body has also shrunk a lot and become more flexible.
No longer sitting still, the tiger took the initiative to attack. With a tiger pounce, the leopard narrowly avoided it and went around to the side of the tiger. Seeing that the leopard was about to avoid it again, the tiger roared violently and extended its tail a lot, like a long whip to restrain the leopard. However, the tail was so much longer that the hardness and flexibility were reduced a lot. The leopard easily broke free and took the opportunity to bite off the tiger's tail. This time, the Yin Qi leaked out like a gurgling stream.
But after all, it blocked the leopard for a while. The tiger pounced again. The leopard tried its best to avoid the tiger's pressure, but was hit hard by the tiger's backhand and flew away. The leopard knocked down three or four bowl-shaped trees before slowly sliding to the ground. Yin Qi continued to leak out around its body, burning small holes on the ground.
"Is this tiger going to fight to the death?" Seeing this scene, Wu Yi did not make a move, because he knew that the tiger was also fighting to the death, and it was just a matter of who was more desperate. Besides, the tiger had lost his mind now, while the tiger still had his mind, and it was still unknown who would win in the end.
The following battle was even more intense, and almost every move resulted in injuries. The surrounding trees were destroyed beyond recognition by the two of them, and almost razed to the ground.
Both sides also used all their means, such as the tiger's palm could actually fly out of the air to kill the enemy, and the tiger was hit by the palm without noticing for a moment, and his body was almost scattered.
The fractal phantom that the tiger learned also made the tiger suffer a lot, always hitting the phantom, and being left with scars on the body by the real body, some of which have not healed yet.
A fierce fight lasted for several hours, and finally, seeing that the sky was getting dark, Wu Yi was worried about attracting other ghosts, so he secretly let the tiger leave.
The tiger split into several phantoms, and the real body escaped into the ground, breaking through the soil and rocks, and quickly left the place of the battle.
After the tiger slapped away the phantoms, it could no longer see the figure of the demon. It could smell the demon's breath everywhere, and it had no idea where the demon was. It roared in anger, and Wu Yi could still hear it clearly two miles away.
Taking out the Yin Qi stored in the Yin Talisman, Wu Yi threw it to the demon, letting it swallow it to recover.
Dahuai Town was even more dangerous at night, especially since Wu Yi didn't even have a place to stay, and it was not easy to build one. If Xu and Xu found him, wouldn't it be a failure?
He found a tree with lush branches and leaves, and let the demon sense that there were no ghosts of the first level of the spirit ghost here in advance. Wu Yi then cut the branches and leaves flat and sat cross-legged on the tree.
It is definitely a low probability event to encounter ghosts around Dahuai Town. The ghosts have already developed their intelligence and know to pursue places with strong yin energy, so they gather in Dahuai Town. In fact, if Wu Yi had not suppressed it, the ghost would have been eager to enter Dahuai Town, but Wu Yi wanted to control a fierce ghost to explore the way first. It happened that there was a record of this kind of method in "Fengdudulu".
There is a method called fake body technique, which is not to raise a ghost pet. It is more cruel. It completely kills the intelligence of the fierce ghost and turns it into a puppet. Then a wisp of mind temporarily lives in the body of the fierce ghost. In this way, even if there is a problem, it is only a loss of a wisp of mind, and there is no worry about life.
Wu Yi tried it during the day and successfully got three dull puppets, but Wu Yi's current cultivation of the law is not enough to control three puppets at once, and he cannot be distracted when practicing the fake body technique, so he needs someone to protect him, so now Wu Yi is waiting for the ghost to recover.
Fortunately, as long as the ghost has enough Yin Qi, it will recover quickly, and without damaging its origin, it will soon become gloomy again, and its whole body will emit a faint blue light.
After instructing the ghost, Wu Yi held his breath, like a living dead, and slowly separated a wisp of his mind into one of the puppets. The appearance of this puppet ghost is a rabbit. Wu Yi wants this kind of petite, stupid little beast. As long as he doesn't provoke the evil ghosts, those evil ghosts may ignore it.
After adapting his mind to the new body, Wu Yi jumped to the center of Dahuai Town. Along the way, he hid underground when he saw powerful ghosts passing by, trying to conceal his breath. When he saw the turmoil of ghosts fighting, he avoided it from a distance and walked to the other side, even if it meant taking a detour.
With this cautious style, Wu Yi slowly approached the place where he came last time. Thinking of his stupid intrusion before, Wu Yi couldn't help but feel scared, but fortunately it was daytime before, and he didn't disturb the ghost, so he escaped by luck.
But now it's night, and he can feel a strong breath every time he jumps in the rabbit ghost. Perhaps because they are ghosts, he can sense the breath of ghosts more obviously.
"Good guy, there must be no less than ten ghosts on this way." Wu Yi sighed in his heart, jumping carefully, trying not to make any sound, and looking straight ahead. It's so strange to see a fierce ghost among the ghosts. If the fierce ghost is not too stupid, it can only prove that there is something wrong with the fierce ghost. It's better to be quiet.
Suddenly, Wu Yi felt a familiar breath, and looked along the breath, and a human figure was in sight. At the same time, the human ghost also felt Wu Yi.
"It's it. It's actually been promoted to a spirit ghost." Wu Yi was secretly shocked. This was the ghost with a human head and a snake body. Wu Yi had fought with him several times before. He was a natural opponent.
Pretending that nothing had happened, Wu Yi wanted to let it go. After all, he was now possessed by a fierce ghost. His strength was low and he couldn't do anything. He was just used for investigation.
It was just that Wu Yi wanted to let it go, but the ghost might not agree.
Seeing Wu Yi, he also felt a familiar taste in his heart, but the ghost did not think of Wu Yi at the first time. After all, it has many enemies. It thinks that this rabbit is related to its enemies, but no matter which situation, killing it is the simplest solution.
Before Wu Yi could react, a black shadow passed by his eyes, and his mind lost its sense. Wu Yi, who was sitting cross-legged on the tree, suddenly opened his eyes, his face flushed, and his breath was unstable.
"Damn it, it ruined my good thing again."
But the fake body technique was broken, and Wu Yi could not immediately possess another body, so he had to record this account for the time being and report it later.
