Chapter 731 The Evil Spirit of Cultivation (44)
Chapter 731 The Evil Spirit in Cultivation (4/4)
Seeing the sudden arrival of Li Muyang, the uninvited guest, the Nightmare Ghost, who was holding the white woman's corpse and eating it, suddenly looked up.
Its blood-red eyes stared at Li Muyang at the door, and Li Muyang actually saw a trace of confusion in the Nightmare Ghost's eyes.
The two sides looked at each other, and the snake-haired princess of the fallen country roared and rushed out from behind Li Muyang, dragging the ghostly afterimage and instantly knocked down the Nightmare Ghost who was caught off guard.
This Nightmare Ghost obviously didn't expect that someone could walk outside at night.
It was even a puppeteer who controlled the evil spirit.
It howled miserably and tried to struggle.
However, this monster was no match for Li Muyang, and lost the initiative in a state of shock and confusion.
In less than half a minute, the Nightmare Ghost fell limply in the yard with a hideous look of death.
The Princess of the Fallen Country absorbed the breath of the Nightmare Ghost and gained experience points again.
Li Muyang looked at the corpse on the ground and narrowed his eyes.
"...This time, the nightmare ghost actually has emotions."
The further we go, the stronger and smarter the nightmare ghosts we see are.
Li Muyang was too lazy to clean up the scene and left with the princess of the fallen country.
According to the red dots on the map, he found the remaining five nightmare ghosts one by one.
Of the five nightmare ghosts, three were hunting and eating, and two were hiding in the city to rest.
The group of nightmare ghosts were all caught off guard by Li Muyang's sudden attack, and they did not expect that there would be puppeteers at night.
After all, puppeteers also have to sleep at night.
This is the iron law of this world, and no human can break it.
In addition, Li Muyang's wisdom crushed the remaining five nightmare ghosts easily.
[Task content: Find the traces of nightmare ghosts and collect the fragments of nightmare ghosts]
[Current progress: 19/61]
Looking at the count on the task panel, Li Muyang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is it one-third completed?"
As for the monsters that will become stronger and stronger in the future?
To be honest, Li Muyang is looking forward to these nightmare ghosts becoming stronger.
His intuition told him that this group of nightmare ghosts was very special, different from other evil creatures in the Ancient Grudge Well, and might be involved in some important plot.
The stronger the nightmare ghost, the more likely it is to be involved in the plot.
And this is probably why the system asked him to kill the nightmare ghost.
Past game experience shows that the way of heaven will not issue meaningless tasks.
While thinking, Li Muyang washed his hands in a pool not far from the inn, and then returned to the quiet inn under the night.
When passing by the coachman Ding Liang's house, Li Muyang paused and checked it out of curiosity.
This look immediately stunned Li Muyang.
Because Ding Liang in the house was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes slightly closed and waiting, with a faint spiritual energy lingering around him.
In the Ancient Grudge Well where everyone fell asleep and the breath on his body turned into evil, this young man actually successfully entered the state of cultivation.
And in the state of cultivation, he did not turn into an evil spirit, but retained the breath of living people.
Li Muyang narrowed his eyes: "The creatures in the Ancient Resentment Well can practice cultivation? And they won't become evil spirits after practicing?"
He whispered softly.
However, although this soft whisper was so weak that it was almost inaudible, it still broke the silence of the night.
Ding Liang, who was originally sitting on the bed practicing, suddenly opened his eyes, and the breath on his body changed suddenly. The breath of living creatures instantly retreated, and was replaced by the cold breath of dark evil spirits.
"Aohou!"
With a shrill roar, Ding Liang, who had transformed into an evil creature, flew directly towards Li Muyang. At this moment, his strength was much stronger than that of an ordinary mortal incarnated as an evil spirit.
Li Muyang immediately cut out the game and reloaded the save file.
"Damn, after Ding Liang became stronger through practice, the evil spirit he transformed into would also be stronger?"
And his perception was so terrifying? Such a low sound could wake him up...
At this moment, Li Muyang finally understood why there was no ancient practice method passed down in the Ancient Resentment Well, and only the puppetry invented by Xiao Yecao was passed down.
If the number of practitioners in the Ancient Resentment Well increases, it also means that the number of evil monsters will increase.
Here, the only way to fight against the evil monsters is the puppetry of the evil veins.
Because the evil veins cannot practice, even if they become evil creatures, they will not be so scary that they are difficult to deal with.
But if a great cultivator with strong cultivation becomes an evil creature... Tsk...
Li Muyang read the archive and returned to the inn.
Looking at the boy who was practicing quietly in the inn, he left silently.
This simple introductory practice of the Demon Refining Sect is the limit of what he can pass on to the boy.
He will not teach Ding Liang any stronger practice.
But the practice that can be practiced to the foundation-building stage can at least allow Ding Liang to have a certain self-protection ability when facing ordinary evil monsters.
That's enough.
The next day, Li Muyang and the excited Ding Liang set out on the journey again, heading to the last place where nightmare ghosts appeared provided by the Hongshan Academy.
Ding Liang, holding the reins tightly, was very excited.
Because when people woke up in the morning, they found six horrible corpses of nightmare ghosts. They knew that six monsters had sneaked into the city and were quietly eliminated.
The whole morning, the city was discussing this matter enthusiastically.
In the streets and alleys, inns and brothels, everyone was talking about it.
People were curious and speculated about which powerful and mysterious puppeteer did not ask the residents of the city for money, but quietly eliminated these six terrible monsters.
In the lobby of the inn, even the travelers from all over the country were discussing enthusiastically which puppeteer was so powerful and mysterious, and so great that he did not seek money.
Only the table where Li Muyang sat was quiet and silent.
Li Muyang ate his food with an indifferent expression, without saying a word.
Ding Liang, who was standing by, was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks. Listening to the discussion of those people next to him, his face turned red and white. He wanted to jump out and tell everyone that the great and mysterious puppeteer was right in front of them.
But Li Muyang did not say a word, so he could only worry, secretly looking at Li Muyang from time to time, and did not dare to say much.
Until Li Muyang finished his meal, stood up to pay, and called Ding Liang to leave, the boy reluctantly went out to lead the horse.
"... Sir, why didn't you tell those people that you killed the monster in the city!"
On the official road after leaving the city, Ding Liang, who had been holding back all the way, saw that there was no one around, and finally couldn't help asking.
Li Muyang's cold voice rang out in the carriage.
"I'm afraid of trouble and don't want to hear their auspicious words of thanks."
"Compared to those, it's most important to hurry up and get to the next place."
"If nothing unexpected happens, there are nightmare ghosts in the last place we go, and they are more powerful than the monsters in this city."
"If you go late, every day you delay on the road may cause a few more deaths."
Li Muyang's words startled Ding Liang.
He quickly whipped the horse's butt and said, "Ah? Then we have to hurry up and can't delay."
In the morning sunshine, the leaky old carriage drove across the official road and rushed to the next destination in a hurry.
