Chapter 144: The Yin Luo Ghost Leader
Xiao Lin stood quietly, his spiritual awareness also spread out, but in his perception, there was nothing in the area of more than 20 feet around except those nearly rotten branches.
"Could it be that these people all died at the hands of the Yin Luo ghost?" Xiao Lin felt a little uneasy. Although he didn't know the cultivation level of these people, those who could enter the third floor of this cave were most likely cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining.
Five people died here together, and there seemed to be no signs of fighting at the scene. These people obviously died without even using their magic weapons, and judging from their appearance, although their bodies were intact, their souls had obviously left their bodies and disappeared.
Xiao Lin's face suddenly turned cold, and the nine fireballs surrounding him suddenly rushed out for more than ten feet, and then exploded one after another.
"Cry." A shrill and piercing scream sounded. Hearing this piercing scream, Xiao Lin actually felt sick to his stomach. His stomach was like a churning sea, which made his face change drastically. He hurriedly drove the spiritual power in his body to travel through the meridians of his body, and this feeling was slightly relieved.
Xiao Lin looked at the distance, his face was as gloomy as water, and more than a dozen black shadows were floating quietly, revealing only two green bean-sized pale green lights.
Just now, Xiao Lin instinctively felt the danger. The virtual Yuan spirit shield on his left side actually collapsed silently, which scared him a lot. In his perception and vision, he did not see any abnormalities, so he instinctively scattered nine fireballs.
And they exploded one after another at a distance of ten feet from him, forming an indiscriminate range attack. Sure enough, these dozen ghosts appeared under the flames of the fireball technique.
In Xiao Lin's opinion, the dozen ghosts in front of him should be the Yin Luo ghosts. They look like the upper body of a person, but they are dark like fog, and the lower body is empty, hanging in the air.
At the moment when these dozen ghosts appeared, the temperature around them dropped rapidly. A dozen ghosts stretched out a pair of black claws from their dark upper bodies. These claws were real and emitted a dark light. Seeing those pairs of claws, Xiao Lin had no doubt that if he was caught by these claws, he would definitely be in danger.
One of the Yin Luo ghosts suddenly rushed towards Xiao Lin, but when it rushed to a distance of several feet in front of Xiao Lin. The body twisted slightly and disappeared directly. Xiao Lin's eyelids jumped when he saw this scene. Almost without thinking, he blocked the three virtual Yuan spirit shields in front of his chest.
At the same time, the Great Perfection Fireball Technique emerged with a "crash" sound. With Xiao Lin's cold "explosion", the nine fireballs exploded after being shot out for several feet. The flames immediately spread out and covered the area around Xiao Lin for several feet.
"Squeak." The Yin Luo ghost appeared several feet away with a scream. Its mung bean-sized eyes stared at Xiao Lin, but it did not continue to attack, as if it was very afraid of the surrounding flames.
Xiao Lin threw a Da Hui Yuan Dan into his mouth, but he secretly complained in his heart. This Yin Luo ghost was really good at changing from real to virtual as described in the map. Although he could use the Great Fireball Technique to prevent them from getting close, it seemed impossible to destroy them.
Once this Yin Luo ghost was hit by the flame, it would directly turn from real to virtual. Although it looked like it had damaged some of its vitality, it did not hurt its roots. However, he could not cast the Great Fireball Technique endlessly. If he continued like this, he would most likely run out of mana and die.
Xiao Lin kept thinking in his mind, but his body was slowly retreating, keeping a certain distance between himself and the dozen Yin Luo ghosts.
Xiao Lin noticed that among the dozen Yin Luo ghosts, there was actually one that was more than twice as big as the other ten, and the other ten Yin Luo ghosts were all clustered around it. Obviously, this Yin Luo ghost should be their leader, so Xiao Lin has been focusing on the Yin Luo ghost leader.
After a while, the Yin Luo ghost leader seemed a little impatient, and his eyes emitting a miserable green light flashed a few times, and the three Yin Luo ghosts around him immediately rushed towards Xiao Lin at the same time.
Xiao Lin's face condensed, and he directly controlled the three fireballs in front of him to shoot at the three Yin Luo ghosts. When the three Yin Luo ghosts saw the fireballs coming, they twisted their bodies and turned into nothingness. Xiao Lin had expected this scene a long time ago, and his spiritual consciousness directly controlled the three fireballs to explode.
The flames suddenly spread out. Under the scorching heat, the three Yin Luo ghosts could no longer remain in the state of nothingness. They all manifested their bodies, but they did not retreat. Instead, they rushed towards Xiao Lin in their physical form.
A trace of gloom flashed across Xiao Lin's face. Under the control of his spiritual consciousness, three more fireballs suddenly shot towards the three Yin Luo ghosts at a very fast speed. The three Yin Luo ghosts obviously did not have time to virtualize their bodies, and they collided directly with the three fireballs.
"Explode." Xiao Lin snorted coldly, and the three fireballs exploded one after another. The three Yin Luo ghosts only had time to scream half a time before they disappeared directly, burned to ashes by the scorching flames from the big fireballs.
Seeing this scene, the Yin Luo ghost leader was obviously also frightened. Like a black fog, he twisted his body and retreated several feet away. However, he did not retreat at this point. Instead, he continued to stare at Xiao Lin, looking a little unwilling.
Xiao Lin did not move, but recovered his lost mana while paying attention to the movements around him. The Yin Luo ghost did not seem to be very strong, but that was because he had not been close to him. After all, the Yin Luo ghost, who was good at changing between reality and illusion, would not be so calm once his virtual body approached him and attacked him suddenly.
Suddenly, the leader of the Yin Luo ghost twisted his body a few times, and then in Xiao Lin's surprised eyes, the dozen Yin Luo ghosts disappeared one after another.
Xiao Lin could not help but frown. He was not naive to think that these Yin Luo ghosts knew they were no match for him and retreated. After the virtual body, they were obviously planning to attack him.
Nine fist-sized lavender fireballs appeared around Xiao Lin again, rotating around Xiao Lin.
Suddenly, a coldness came, and the two virtual Yuan spirit shields on Xiao Lin's side met it at the same time, and then the two virtual Yuan spirit shields broke directly, and the spiritual light disappeared. Two black claws appeared where the virtual Yuan spirit shield disappeared.
Xiao Lin's heart suddenly jumped, and a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in his eyes. A lightning bolt as thick as a thumb fell from the sky and hit the two black claws directly.
"Squeak" a shrill scream came out, and the two black claws were directly disintegrated and disappeared when they were hit by Xiao Lin's great perfection-level thunder and zombie technique. Seeing this scene, Xiao Lin was slightly stunned, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
The thunder and zombie technique could actually kill the Yin Luo ghost directly. For Xiao Lin, it was an unexpected surprise discovery. Thinking of this, a chill appeared on his face, and then he fell silent.
The nine huge fireballs surrounding him suddenly exploded one after another, and groups of flames were pushed out horizontally. Under the scorching of the flames, more than a dozen Yin Luo ghosts showed their bodies one after another, and at this time, Xiao Lin's eyes flashed with lightning, and more than a dozen lightning bolts as thick as a baby's arm fell from the sky.
All the ten Yin Luo ghosts shared Xiao Lin's silent-level primary spell, Thunder Quick, without exception. This Thunder Quick is a group attack spell. Except for a few Yin Luo ghosts who escaped in time and escaped ten feet away, the remaining ten Yin Luo ghosts were turned into ashes under the thunder and lightning of Thunder Quick.
The surroundings suddenly became silent. Xiao Lin swallowed a pill of Da Hui Yuan Dan with a pale face. Nine fireballs condensed again. At the same time, he was silently reciting the spell of Thunder Quick in his heart. Although this Thunder Quick is a group attack spell, the amount of mana consumed by Xiao Lin doubled with the number of thunder and lightning.
The previous attack actually consumed 30% of Xiao Lin's mana, which made his joy of killing Yin Luo ghosts disappear instantly. If dozens of Yin Luo ghosts attacked him at the same time, even if he could use Thunder Quick to kill them, his mana would most likely be instantly cleared to zero, and he would become an ordinary mortal.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Lin gently patted the bag on his waist, and a yellow talisman with a faint red light suddenly floated out of it. After the talisman ignited, a large flame immediately erupted with Xiao Lin as the center. The flame was in a ring shape and swept out in all directions.
This talisman was the primary spell talisman [Fire Explosion] that Xiao Lin bought from the True Talisman Building.
Within a range of twenty feet, all the rotten branches hit by the flames turned into ashes, and seven or eight Yin Luo ghosts also appeared in the shrill cries.
Xiao Lin looked at the seven or eight Yin Luo ghosts not far away, and a cold breath appeared on his face. He pointed at the Yin Luo ghost leader from a distance, and immediately several lightning bolts fell from the sky, and each Yin Luo ghost was hit by a lightning bolt as thick as a baby's arm.
With shrill screams, the Yin Luo ghosts dispersed and disappeared without a trace. However, although the body of the Yin Luo ghost leader was much dimmer, it did not disperse and disappear like the ordinary Yin Luo ghosts. Instead, after being hit by the Thunder Stress Technique, it screamed and floated, trying to retreat into the woods.
"Want to leave?" Xiao Lin shot out nine fireballs in front of him without hesitation, and at the same time, lightning flashed in his eyes. The Thunder Stiffness Technique fell directly from the sky. The Yin Luo ghost leader who had escaped several feet away was hit by the Thunder Stiffness Technique again. His dim body was almost invisible, but nine fireballs were shot immediately. With the sound of explosion, the flames like a small sun immediately swept the area several feet around it.
The fire dissipated, and the area within several feet had been burned black, and the Yin Luo ghost leader also disappeared.
Xiao Lin exhaled, and then a smile appeared on his face. It was the first time he fought against this kind of ghost, which really made him nervous. The ghost had weak defense and was only good at close-range attacks. In Xiao Lin's opinion, the strength of this Yin Luo ghost was just average.
This was mainly because Xiao Lin happened to practice the Great Fireball Technique and Thunder Technique to restrain the Yin Luo ghost. Otherwise, it would be difficult to prevent the Yin Luo ghost from getting close. After all, the primary spell of the Great Perfection level, the Void Spirit Shield, was also broken at the touch of the Yin Luo ghost's claws. It can be imagined that its claws are sharp.
"Huh?" Xiao Lin, who was about to leave, suddenly saw a thumb-sized black jade stone on the ground where the Yin Luo ghost leader disappeared, which was still emitting a dark and shiny light.
Xiao Lin walked over in surprise and picked up the black jade stone. The jade stone was cold to the touch, and there seemed to be a black halo constantly flowing inside the jade stone. Although Xiao Lin didn't know what this black jade stone was and what it was used for.
But since it was a relic left by the Yinluo ghost leader, and it was not melted by his fireball technique, it must be a precious material. Xiao Lin casually put it into the storage bag, then jumped up and flew towards the depths of the Senluo Ghost Desert.
