Chapter 65 Losing in One Place but Gaining in Another

Liu Mang and the other two looked at each other, unconsciously gathered together, and kept a distance from the white-bone boatman.

The boat floated gently, and the bamboo pole occasionally pushed in the water, which seemed a bit laborious, and the speed of sailing could be described as a snail's pace.

The three people and the ghost were also at peace, and each kept silent.

But not long after, the white-bone boatman stopped paddling, turned around, stretched out a fleshless bone palm, and said in a hoarse voice: "Pay money."

"Pay money? Pay what money?"

"Boat fare."

"Boat fare?" The three people were confused at once, and Li Hao bravely retorted: "Didn't you pay it when you got on the boat?"

"Getting on the boat is getting on the boat, and now is now." The white-bone boatman seemed to be justified, and his tone was completely unquestionable.

Li Hao was about to retort again, but was stopped by Meng Zijing. She asked the bone boatman, "How much?"

"Two spirit stones per person, the same for ghosts."

A total of 10 low-grade spirit stones needed to be paid. Meng Zijing did not hesitate to take them out of her backpack and threw them over.

The bone boatman weighed the spirit stones in his hand, put them away, and then rowed the boat again.

But before the boat floated far, the bone boatman stopped rowing again, turned around, and asked for money.

"Are you done? Why do you want more money!"

Li Hao was so angry that he complained fiercely.

Meng Zijing wanted to keep things quiet last time. 10 low-grade spirit stones were nothing, so she gave them. But now the bone boatman asked for money for the third time, which was a naked price-raising.

Liu Mang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked around. He could not see too far. There was nothing else except the water of the Wangchuan River, and he didn't know how far the other side was.

He hesitated for a moment and asked calmly, "How much?"

"Four spirit stones per person, the same for ghosts."

That is to say, a total of 20 low-grade spirit stones need to be paid.

The first time was 5, the second time was 10, and the third time became 20, each time doubling the previous time.

Liu Mang silently took out 20 low-grade spirit stones and threw them over. The white-bone boatman took them steadily, and the boat started again.

"What are you doing..." Li Hao questioned Liu Mang's compromise, but he was glared back by his cousin before he said half of the words.

Then, Meng Zijing and Liu Mang's eyes met, and there was a trace of solemnity in their eyes.

Not long after, the boat stopped again, and the white-bone boatman turned around again, stretched out a bone palm and said lightly: "Pay the money."

However, this time, he was greeted by Meng Po's crutches.

Meng Zijing didn't say a word of nonsense, and let Meng Po attack the white-bone boatman, and the crutches hit the other's abdomen fiercely.

Squeak~

A sharp whistle came from the mouth of the white-bone boatman. This guy seemed to be unprepared and was hit by a crutch into the water, making a big splash.

"Good!" Li Hao punched the air: "It's so satisfying!"

Liu Mang's face was cold at this time: "If I'm not mistaken, this guy may be a greedy ghost."

Meng Zijing agreed: "That's right. It must be a greedy ghost and can't escape."

But after solving the greedy ghost who turned into a boatman, who will ferry the boat next became a practical problem.

What's more troublesome is that the three found that as the greedy ghost fell into the water, the entire originally calm Wangchuan River was faintly rippled, and the boat was a little unstable.

"Hey~ Why is the wind blowing?" Li Hao muttered, and the coward next to him was circling around him crazily, looking almost scared, and even crying.

Li Hao suddenly felt something was wrong and signaled to the two: "No! There's something strange!"

Liu Mang and Meng Zijing had already noticed the strange phenomenon, because the wind was getting stronger and stronger, the wind was whistling, and the fog was filled.

"Is this, Yin Qi?" Meng Zijing was a little panicked: "Such a strong Yin Qi!"

Liu Mang also discovered the Yin Qi, and at the same time he saw a series of motionless figures floating under the surface of the Wangchuan River.

Are those the souls of the dead?

The three of them felt horrified from the bottom of their hearts about this phenomenon.

Not long after, the sound of the wind around them had turned into ghosts crying and wolves howling, as if an endless army of ghosts was surrounding them.

At this time, how could Liu Mang not be afraid? To be on the safe side, a black spiritual light array lit up under his feet, and the gate of the underworld was released. The four ghosts, Black and White Impermanence and Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced, were invited out at the same time.

"Hehehe~ Such a familiar smell~"

"Is it the Wangchuan River? It feels like it and not like it."

As soon as the four ghosts appeared, they gave various comments to the surroundings.

Liu Mang wanted to remind the four ghost masters to be more serious and to surround him for protection, but before he could finish his words, he suddenly found that the spiritual light array under his feet turned blue and expanded along the water surface on its own, swallowing up the water wantonly.

"Huh~"

Liu Mang's exclamation of doubt was not fear, but surprise.

He was extremely surprised to find that as the spiritual light array absorbed the surrounding aura, the spiritual energy that he had consumed in the previous competition, especially the exhibition match that was temporarily added at the end, was replenished quickly.

This speed is far from the inefficient absorption of spiritual stones that lacks the support of ghost skills.

"Yes! Isn't this the Lishui Ghost City? The aura on the Wangchuan River is either ghost aura or death aura. Anyway, it is all negative aura such as yin aura, which is just right for us!"

Liu Mang quickly informed Meng Zijing and Li Hao of this discovery: "Quick, you guys try too, let go of the spiritual light array, can you absorb these Yin Qi."

After being reminded by Liu Mang, and seeing Liu Mang's surprised expression, the brother and sister hurriedly did it.

However, the level of their spiritual light array was too low, far from the effect of Liu Mang's current absorption.

With the spread and rapid absorption of the spiritual light array under Liu Mang's feet, and the four ghosts standing beside him to protect him, the riots around the Wangchuan River faintly subsided, the wind gradually stopped, and the Yin Qi fog began to dissipate.

In the end, everything returned to silence, leaving only the boat floating quietly on the water.

Meng Zijing and Li Hao had already put away the spiritual light array. The brother and sister found that although they could indeed absorb the Yin Qi nearby, the effect was very small, mainly because Liu Mang was beside them, and basically all of it was taken away by him.

As for Liu Mang, he was excited at the moment.

The two golden rings that were previously deficient have been filled with spiritual energy, making the two golden rings shine with golden light again.

Not only that, the third hidden ring originally only lit up one grid, but with this wave of swallowing, it suddenly rushed to the level of five grids.

In other words, there is still half the distance to completely condense the third golden ring.

Thank you, Greedy Ghost, you have made great contributions in this wave, and the 35 low-grade spiritual stones are rewarded to you.

It would be even better if you can come back to row the boat.
