Chapter 17 There’s a Ghost!
Very surprised. Really very surprised. I didn't expect that what I saw was not something scary, but a beautiful woman.
Of course, although she is indeed a beauty, in this case, only people with a big heart like me probably have time to consider this, because the appearance of this beauty can definitely scare ordinary people into having a heart attack.
The beauty in front of her has a very delicate oval face, fair skin that would make Snow White commit suicide in shame, and long, straight black hair down to her waist that is so smooth that she could go straight into a shampoo commercial without any technical effects. As for the beauty's figure... Although the snow-white robe is very wide, the unexpected fabric feels like silk and is actually translucent. Within the looming fabric, you can vaguely see a thought-provoking shadow curve. Compared to being directly exposed, this half-covered effect is actually more upscale.
However, although the above looks like a completely seductive beauty, it is not actually the case. Although this beauty's face is extremely beautiful and her facial features are very good, her eyes have no pupils and are completely white. Moreover, although this beauty's long straight hair is very long and beautiful, it is not draped over her head. Behind her, she moved forward to block her entire face. If it hadn't been for my abnormal dynamic vision, it would have been impossible to see her complete appearance clearly through the gap revealed when her hair swayed as she moved.
In fact, the above are not enough to completely scare everyone. There are two more that are really scary. First, this beauty did not come here by herself, but floated here. certainly. It can also be understood that she was brought over, because this person's head has been stretched in front of her, and behind her there is a thick hemp rope extending straight upward for tens of centimeters in length and then suddenly disappearing into a rope that is only a few thicker than the rope. In the black vortex of millimeters. The rope with no upper end, the beauty's hands hanging in front of her body, and her feet thirty centimeters above the ground all indicate that this is a hanging ghost.
In addition, another scary thing about this woman is that from time to time, traces of black mist will emit from her body, and these black mist will occasionally gather together after leaving the body, forming some The twisted human face seemed to be wailing or cursing. In short, it was very terrifying and twisted.
Look at this terrifying beauty who suddenly appeared. There was no fear in my heart. On the contrary, I was quite confused and surprised, because although the individual in front of me looked scary, the power wrapped around her was not strong. For me, who is used to using energy sensing to determine the target's danger level. No matter how scary the appearance is. As long as the energy intensity is not high, it doesn't scare me at all. After all, a torch cannot be affected by a candle.
I didn't move, but the beauty didn't move either. She was just floating in front of me, swaying slightly from side to side. It felt like the corpse hanging from the beam, swinging from side to side. Of course, she was indeed a hanged ghost. However, it’s not a problem to keep looking at each other affectionately like this. I still have to break this situation.
"Hi……"
The female ghost obviously didn't expect that I would greet her suddenly, and was obviously stunned for a moment, but I don't know if my actions angered her or woke her up. Anyway, after I said hello, the female ghost who had been stationary for a long time suddenly moved. He stood up and rushed towards me.
"Holy shit!" When I saw the female ghost rushing towards me, I quickly took a step back. Then I felt a cold breath blowing from behind towards my neck. I was so scared that I quickly shrank my head and crouched down to the side. passed. Thanks to my quick reaction, after dodging just now, I realized that another vicious ghost was rushing towards me from behind. This guy is completely different from the hanged man before. Although the hanged ghost was a bit scary, she was still a beautiful woman, but the man who attacked me later was an ugly and disgusting male ghost. This guy's height is estimated to be only 1.6 meters, and he weighs at least 190. His head was hit by something, and a large piece of it was flattened in the middle. The eyeball on the right side was completely missing, but the one on the left was staring. The boss's head was half hanging out of his eye sockets, and there was a lot of red and white dirt on the top of his head. It looked like it should be a mixture of brain plasma and blood.
Of course I can't let him touch such a disgusting guy, but I don't intend to touch the beautiful woman on the other side, after all, they are both ghosts.
I ducked and backed away, and the two ghosts were directly facing each other. What surprised me was that they didn't turn around and chase after me. Instead, they started to demonstrate against each other, and they were obviously going to fight.
Although I don't know why these two ghosts are not the same group, I don't intend to just watch. The dodge just now was just because I felt the attack, so I dodge immediately. However, in terms of strength, I am actually not afraid of these two evil ghosts, because their strength combined is not as high as my current strength.
While the two evil ghosts were quarreling there, I simply held Eternity in my hand, and then I rushed forward and slashed at the male evil ghost.
My fighting skills are actually very good, as many people know, but against this kind of ghost, my attack skills are actually useless. If I were in my heyday, I would be sure that this ghost would be dead with just one blow. But now I am not in full strength, and this ghost is not very weak. Although it is still not as powerful as me, it is not comparable to the new ghost that has just become a ghost.
For this kind of ghost, a knife cannot kill it, because there is no vital problem in the soul. For living creatures, you can attack the brain, heart and other vital parts to achieve a fatal blow, but as long as the ghost's own spiritual energy is not used up, theoretically it can be cut infinitely. In other words, attacking a ghost is actually equivalent to consuming the opponent's spiritual energy. Once the spiritual energy is exhausted, the ghost will disappear completely. Therefore, in order to quickly consume the soul energy, that is, the spiritual power of the ghost in front of me, I must cut repeatedly as quickly as possible in the fastest way in order to quickly consume the other party's spiritual power. In this case, there is no point in focusing on moves or anything like that. It's better to just follow your own feelings and swing as fast as possible. Anyway, I don't have to worry about the bones in the ghost's body that will jam my sword.
My attack body is very high. In addition, among its attributes, it has the attribute of suppressing all the dead, so this unlucky guy let out a scream as soon as he reacted, and then his whole body burned up, and in the blink of an eye, he completely disappeared from us as if evaporating. in front of.
In fact, it's not entirely my fault that the guy disappeared so quickly. What's more important is that the hell flame in me has the ability to burn all matter, and this flame is especially keen on burning souls. For Hell Flame, the soul is equivalent to gasoline. As long as it gets a little bit of it, it will burn crazily and the speed is absolutely very fast. The ghost just now was touched by the hellfire I inspired with eternity, and it burned directly.
The hanged man on the other side is still thinking of attacking me. But in the blink of an eye, the male ghost who was as powerful as her was burned to ashes. This contrast was really too great, and as a result, you, a female ghost, was stunned in place for two seconds, then turned around and ran away, probably at a speed that could almost catch up with the fired crossbow arrows.
Although the female ghost is fast. But I'm not slow either. I really can't run as fast as her now. But I don’t need to catch up myself, right?
He raised his hand and pointed it at the hanging rope behind the female ghost. I moved my fingers, and the head of the dragon's sinew rope shot out with a pop, and then caught up with the female ghost in the blink of an eye. Then the rope head that looked like an arrow suddenly opened up and turned into a big spider with all its limbs spread out. The rope head that maintained this posture touched the hanging rope around the female ghost's neck almost as soon as it completed its transformation. Then, as if a mechanism was triggered, the open rope head suddenly closed again in an instant, but the female ghost The lifting rope was also caught in the rope head and clamped.
After successfully locking the sling, I moved my fingers again. The take-up device of the dragon tendon rope was immediately locked, and the rope was instantly straightened. The female ghost only felt a sudden tightening on her neck. It felt like she was It felt exactly the same when I was hanging and about to die. This painful feeling made the female ghost not even dare to struggle. She quickly pinched the rope on her head with both hands to prevent it from being taken back. But unfortunately, I had no intention of showing mercy, and the strength of this female ghost was It was far inferior to me, so there was no doubt that when I started the take-up device, the female ghost was immediately dragged back backwards.
In fact, the reason why the method I just did can be realized, in addition to the characteristics of the dragon tendon rope body, the most important thing is because of the rope.
The rope wrapped around the Hanged Ghost's neck after hanging is actually a weakness of the Hanged Ghost. Although the Hanged Ghost can incarnate itself like a normal ghost and then move through the wall, that is under normal conditions. However, as long as someone takes the initiative and consciously grabs the rope, unless the hanged ghost can be emptied before being touched, otherwise once it is confirmed that the rope is caught, the hanged ghost will lose the ability to empty the rope again. ization ability. Therefore, although the female ghost transformed herself into a state of nothingness and did not have to worry about being scratched by the ground, she was unable to break free from my shackles and could only be slowly pulled back.
"It seems that your ability is not as scary as your appearance." Pulling the hanged ghost in front of me, I directly let go of the rope head and grabbed the rope to lift her up from the ground.
Although I said I was holding onto this female ghost, I actually didn’t feel any weight in my hand. The ghost itself has no weight, but the rope around her neck does. Especially when the hanging man's rope is pinched, the rope will basically become a physical thing, which not only has weight, but can also be touched.
The rope swayed for a moment, and then I looked at the female ghost I was holding and said, "Stop struggling. A hanging ghost will never be able to break free from the hanging rope, unless you upgrade yourself to the ghost-fairy level." Above, otherwise don’t waste your efforts.”
"Ha..." After I finished speaking, the female ghost indeed stopped struggling, but she did not give up resistance. Instead, she stretched out her ghost claws and rushed towards me. Of course I wouldn't be able to take advantage of this situation. The opponent's weaknesses are all mine. If he can still be counterattacked, then I might as well just buy a piece of tofu and hit him to death.
The moment the female ghost was about to touch my neck, I suddenly injected a trace of pure light element into the rope. Although this so-called light element is something defined in magic, things in legends and myths from all over the world in "Zero" have been integrated, so here it is. In addition to being a magical element, the light element also represents sunlight, or positive energy.
These ghosts are all afraid of the sun at first, but in the end the ghosts who are not afraid of the sun are all super evil ghosts. Not only do they need to kill countless people, but they also need special creations. The hanged ghost in front of her is basically a normal ghost, so she is afraid of the sun. It's just that her strength is much greater than that of ordinary ghosts, so the damage caused by sunlight to her is relatively slight. It's far more than dying in the presence of light. It can only be said that it will cause a certain amount of damage. certainly. It can also kill you if you stay in the sun for a long time. After all, even a living person can die if exposed to too much sun, let alone a ghost.
The moment the hanging man was about to touch my neck, the light elements in my hand began to flow into her body along the hanging rope. At this time, the female ghost seemed to be on fire. In an instant, he screamed and began to twist his body and struggle desperately. As for attacking me...how can she care about that now?
I didn't really want to kill this female ghost. After all, this place was unfamiliar and needed a guide, so I didn't take any heavy shots. Of course, I didn’t want this female ghost to cause trouble with me in the future, so even though I subdued her, I didn’t stop the energy transmission immediately. Instead, I maintained it for nearly a minute before terminating the input process of light elements. Immediately after the input process, she seemed to be motionless as if she had collapsed. If I hadn't been hanging on the rope, she would have collapsed on the ground.
In fact, the female ghost at this level is far more than that weak. The key is that I did not use the light element to attack her just now, but directly input the light element into her body using the hanging rope as a medium. It's like the difference between applying toxins on the body and drinking them directly. Although the lethality produced by the light element acting directly on the body is not much greater than that acting on the body surface, the pain caused in this process is definitely hundreds of times more severe, so much so that the female ghost was tortured. After a minute, he collapsed into mud.
"Hey, wake up, don't pretend to be dead for me. I know you can still talk." I didn't care about the female ghost's condition. I directly lifted her up on the sling, keeping her face at the same level as mine. superior. Of course, since she looked scary with her hair down, I simply tilted her head back a little so that her hair returned to its normal position. After the beautiful face was exposed, the visual lethality of this female ghost was obviously reduced a lot. Although the whites of her eyes were still a bit scary, at least it had no impact on me.
As soon as the female ghost who was awakened by me opened her eyes, the first thing she did was to raise her hands and prepare to strangle my neck, but I immediately straightened my arms and warned: "Hey... do you want to try again?" A feeling like just now?”
Sure enough, the female ghost's claws finally settled on the front of my neck without actually touching my neck. In fact, even if she didn't stop, she wouldn't be able to touch my neck. After all, I am not holding the upper part of the hanging rope now, but directly touching it. Squeezing the sling around her neck was basically the same as squeezing her neck. Although I am not tall, the female ghost in front of me is not as tall as me, so her arms are not as long as mine. In this way, as long as I straighten my hands, unless she can stretch her arms Long, otherwise you can't touch me.
Of course, the Hanged Man actually has the ability to extend his arms, but now she can't do it, because her hanging rope is in my hand. In this case, her ability is basically destroyed. It was sealed, which also included the art of transformation by extending the arms.
It can be said that the hanged ghost who was caught on the hanging rope is a being who can be bullied. Even if he had great abilities before, he can only lie down obediently now, without any resistance.
"It seems like you still know what's good and what's bad." Seeing the female ghost's movements stop, I immediately said with a smile. "Since you can still tell good from bad, how about we talk about a business deal?"
The female ghost looked at me quite surprised. Although she only had the whites of her eyes and could not express emotions with her eyes, her expression was very rich. It was obvious that she was surprised. But I didn’t wait for her to answer directly, but immediately threw another heavy weight on the scale. "This is black crystal powder. As a soul, you should know what this thing means to you. As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, not only will I not hurt you, I can also give you this packet of powder. How about it? Can we talk about it? "
Black crystal is not only useful for undead creatures in the West. It is actually good for any soul body or undead creature without a soul. Therefore, whether it is Eastern ghosts and zombies or undead creatures in the West, they all like black very much. Crystal powder. Of course, high-level undead would look down on powder, but large chunks of complete crystals are still very attractive to them.
Seeing that the female ghost in front of me still didn't respond, I decided to continue to increase the weight.
"This is an energy-gathering array. It can completely convert the energy of the black crystal so that you can absorb it 100%. Moreover, the array itself can continue to work after the crystal is used up. Although the natural speed of absorbing energy is very slow, it is still The benefits of getting it for free are much more cost-effective than practicing alone. How about it? Can we negotiate this business?"
The female ghost stared at the miniature magic circle and black crystal powder in my hand for a long time, but finally couldn't resist the temptation and relented. "What do you want me to do?"
The moment I heard the other person speak, I smiled in victory. I'm not afraid that your price will be high, as long as you are willing to talk, it will be easy. (To be continued...)
