Chapter 29: Cleaning up in Batches

Li Hao was really going to cry.

This time he was moved.

He looked at the lonely ghosts flying in the air, most of them were absorbed by Liu Mang's blue spiritual light array, but some fell at his feet.

Li Hao could finally have a full meal.

However, he soon found that he had only eaten three little ghosts, and he felt that the white spiritual light array was a little indigestion.

Looking at Liu Mang next to him, no matter how many little ghosts flew over, his spiritual light array would accept them all, like a bottomless pit.

Li Hao immediately turned from being moved to being depressed. According to this situation, he didn't know when he could completely light up a golden ring.

Although Liu Mang ate to his heart's content, he found that although he absorbed a lot of ghost energy, resentment and yin energy, the speed of lighting up the grids of the second hidden ring became very slow.

Is it because after becoming a primary spirit master, the required volume and quality have increased?

Seeing that the Black and White Impermanence and the Ox-Headed Horse-Face had almost killed all the four directions of southeast, northwest, Liu Mang's spiritual light array progressed to only one ring plus seven grids.

The trouble is that the spiritual energy stored in the golden ring is consumed in great quantities because it needs to keep the gate of the underworld open and provide the combat power of the four ghosts to appear at the same time.

The newly absorbed negative aura only lit up five more grids of the hidden ring, and there was no time to quickly replenish the spiritual energy.

Liu Mang only had about 50 low-grade spiritual stones left, and this amount would not last too long.

In addition, Meng Zijing and Meng Po, who took the initiative to fight, seemed to be exhausted and were retreating step by step.

"Liu Mang, it seems that more and more ghosts are pouring out of Kushui Mountain. We have stirred up a hornet's nest!"

"What should we do? Retreat first?"

"That's right. Withdraw first and come back tomorrow. Then we will harvest them in waves and cannot fall into the encirclement."

Liu Mang agreed and immediately issued an order to the four ghosts to join together and retreat while fighting.

Not long after, the three escaped from the woods at the foot of Kushui Mountain and returned to the mottled road.

It seemed that the ghosts could not leave the Kushui Mountain area. They stopped in the woods and howled for a while before slowly retreating.

Liu Mang put away the gate of the underworld and the spiritual light array, and then sat down on the ground.

It turned out that maintaining the spiritual light array and fighting state for a long time would be so tiring.

His body was fine, but his mind was a little drowsy, obviously because of excessive consumption of spiritual energy, and the fatigue of the four ghosts in the battle would be transferred to the spirit master later.

I don’t know if it will always be like this in the future, or it will be alleviated with the increase in the number of battles and the improvement of the realm.

Meng Zijing was also exhausted and panting, leaning against the van with her hands on her hips and desperately drinking water.

Only Li Hao seemed relaxed, and there was an uncontrollable surprise on his face: "It’s lit! My hidden ring has lit up two more grids!"

He ate three little ghosts in total, but he was able to light up two grids at once after digestion. It can be seen that the volume of the white spiritual light array is very small and it can be easily filled.

Liu Mang looked at Meng Zijing: "Second Sister Meng, what do you say next?"

"Go back first. Today we just came here to check out the place. We have a preliminary understanding of Kushui Mountain. Come back tomorrow, and then we will follow a route and kill anything we see. Don't give these evil ghosts a chance to send messages."

Liu Mang did not comment. He was a little embarrassed today as he had just arrived.

Getting in the car, Meng Zijing started the engine. About half an hour later, the three of them arrived at Li Hao's restaurant.

While eating to replenish their energy, they summarized the gains and losses of today's battle and discussed tomorrow's tactics.

In the end, they determined a central idea - haste makes waste!

Kushui Mountain is too closed, and there are lonely ghosts everywhere who have been infected by the spirit and ghost aura. Not only have they become powerful and violent, but there are also a lot of them. There are only three of them in total, and it is definitely not suitable for a fierce attack.

The most appropriate method is to take it slowly, annihilate a small wave each time, and use time to exchange space, so that it will be much easier later.

It can't be that the ghosts in Kushui Mountain are killing more and more. No one dares to go there. The municipal government is waiting for Meng Zijing to complete the task before sending people to verify it, and then slowly plan the reconstruction.

After dinner, Liu Mang went home to rest. He had a good sleep and recovered his body and mind.

The next day, Liu Mang, Meng Zijing and Li Hao came to Kushui Mountain again, just like yesterday.

With the experience of the previous day, the three of them were not afraid of anything. They used flashlights to illuminate, Meng Zijing led the way, and paid attention to the reactions of the cowards throughout the process.

Whenever the cowards showed a frightened attitude, Meng Zijing would release Meng Po, and Liu Mang would only summon one of the four ghosts from the gate of the underworld in turn.

In this way, there is no need to keep the four ghosts on the scene at the same time, and the consumption of spiritual energy will be reduced a lot.

Afterwards, they worked together with Meng Po to clear the ghosts they found with a thunder offensive.

Although the process became slower and the number of battles increased, the consumption of their own side was reduced and the safety factor was correspondingly improved.

So, after three days of repeated fighting, the foot of Kushui Mountain seemed to have been cleared.

That day, the three of them came to Kushui Mountain again.

But this time the strategic direction changed, they planned to climb the mountain.

"Meng Erjie, according to our previous analysis, there must be high-level evil ghosts on the mountain, and those at the foot of the mountain are just minions."

"That's right, so we must be extremely careful. If things are impossible, retreat immediately. Safety first."

"Second sister Meng, I have an idea. We don't know the situation on the mountain, such as how many evil ghosts there are, how strong they are, how many big ghosts there are, and the terrain must be considered. So, we should change our approach."

"What approach?"

"Hook the monster!"

Li Hao was silent on the side. He found that his only use was to let the coward act as a biological radar. The rest of the time he would hide and share some soup.

At this moment, watching Liu Mang and his cousin finish their discussion, the three of them began to find a mountain trail to climb the mountain.

By the way, what made the three people feel strange was that this mountain trail was so quiet when they walked on it. Except for the occasional sound of wind and rustling leaves, there was no sound of insects or birds.

But think about it, this place has long been occupied by lonely ghosts, and those small creatures should not be able to survive.

At this time, seeing that they had already reached a mountainside, Meng Zijing stopped: "Something is wrong!"

"What's wrong?"

Liu Mang looked around, thinking that Meng Zijing had found a ghost, but he couldn't see it anywhere, and the coward didn't show any abnormality.

Meng Zijing frowned: "I doubt that there are no little ghosts here at all!"

"No little ghosts? You mean, have we cleared out all the ghosts in Kushui Mountain?"

Liu Mang felt that if that was the case, then this job would be too easy. Why didn't the city government dare to send spirit masters to clear out this difficult problem?

Meng Zijing shook her head: "You don't understand what I mean. There are no little ghosts here because there may be super ghosts. Have you heard of the territory? The more powerful the individual, the less other creatures are allowed to exist."

Liu Mang understood this time and asked solemnly: "You mean, there is a ghost king?"

Meng Zijing nodded: "Be careful, move slowly, if there is anything wrong, we will run away immediately!"

"Understood!"
