Chapter 167 Snowstorm Kills Ghosts
At 10:13 pm, in the middle of the crossroads.
A ghost that looks like a charcoal corpse appeared among the neon lights.
From the moment it appeared, it kept struggling on the spot, roaring silently, as if it was suffering from some great pain. Its charred and broken bone arms kept trying to stir up the scattered snow, as if to use them to relieve the burning pain on its body.
The members of the special service group six gathered again, each of them took up their positions, ready to welcome the battle that might come at any time.
Yu Ke walked closer and carefully observed the terrifying ghost in front of him, thinking about its possible source.
The corresponding characteristic description was never given, proving that it had not yet begun to invade the real world.
"In the first few minutes after the ghosts appeared, they would not react much to the real world. Most of the time, they just wandered around aimlessly, and because they were in different spaces, they were not restricted in their movement."
Wu Huai has been following the "One Hundred Ghosts Night Parade" incident recently and is very familiar with the actions of such ghosts.
This is indeed the case.
Realizing that it could not catch the flying snow, the skeleton ghost began to move at the intersection with its arms.
It seemed that it was completely blind to the many humans watching it in the world, and just acted on its own. Seeing this, Wu Huai quickly gestured, signaling two team members to pick up the psychic detection device and constantly sense the psychic state of the area where the skeleton ghost was.
Then you can see the special service team members running in the front holding the instrument high in their hands chasing the ghost. As it turns left and right, a group of people follow behind, each holding a weapon that looks a bit strange.
Yu Ke didn't pay much attention to it before, but now he found that the team members were holding wooden weapons without exception.
If you don't know, you would think they are playing house here.
"Normal weapons are hard to use in fighting ghosts. Weapons made of peach wood and lightning wood, with the blessing of Taoism, can play a miraculous effect. This is the experience we have accumulated in previous operations."
Although the Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts is the first time, ghosts have appeared in the supernatural events that have occurred in Shanqing City before. The experience summarized from past examples can always help the Special Service Department find the best solution when facing ghosts.
Of course, wooden weapons are only part of the advance preparations. The Special Service Department has other spare props.
Yu Ke did not follow them around, but took out the black thorn bow and arrow from the Forest Spirit Mark. He had his own special means to deal with such sneaky ghosts. Since he promised the Shanqing City Disaster Prevention Bureau to assist in the investigation, he would not stand idly by later.
In this chase and tug of war, time gradually passed. When the skeleton ghost appeared for nearly three minutes, a sudden change occurred.
As a bystander, Yu Ke was the first to discover it.
After seven or eight hours of snow, coupled with the low temperature at night, a layer of snow half a finger thick had already accumulated on the deserted streets.
But just in a few seconds.
Yu Ke keenly noticed that the snow on the street began to melt on a large scale. The white mist that was originally just an illusion beside him suddenly became scalding hot. Not far away, there was a strong smell of burnt meat, which made people frown.
"The ambient temperature is soaring, and ghosts are beginning to invade reality!"
Yang Chunxiao, who was paying attention to the changes in the equipment, reminded loudly. Wu Huai, who was following the skeleton ghost, immediately stepped forward, holding the judge's pen, and used it as a spear to pierce the skeleton ghost's left arm that was supported in front of him.
If you look closely, you will find that the hairs on the tip of the judge's pen are now stretched straight like steel needles, and the surface is even more ink-colored.
However, when the special service team members launched the attack, the skeleton ghost also noticed their presence.
Black smoke rolled out of its hollow eye sockets, covering its entire face. It opened its mouth and let out a piercing roar. Relying on its huge body, it rushed towards Wu Huai and others.
The seemingly fragile charred arms could carry a dull wind sound when swinging. What was more troublesome was that the temperature of this charred ghost was extremely high. Even if you were just a few meters away, you could feel the heat coming towards you.
The judge's pen hit the swaying bone palm. The moment the two collided, a wave of ink gushed out from the tip of the pen, and then turned into a chain, forcibly binding the ghost's left arm in place. This was the extraordinary ability that Wu Huai had awakened.
"Take advantage of now, do it!"
The judge's pen moved downward, and dozens of chains suddenly tightened, suppressing the ghost's left arm, and the surrounding team members rushed forward.
Even if the personnel who can join the Special Service Division are not extraordinary, they have received physical enhancement and eaten a lot of ferocious beast meat to enhance their physical fitness. In addition, they have been trained for many years, so their combat power is not weak.
These people hold weapons that restrain ghosts and endure the high temperature to attack the bodies of ghosts.
Weapons made of peach wood or lightning wood are indeed effective in hitting skeleton ghosts. Each hit can dispel some of the dark energy, making the skeleton ghost weaker.
At this time, Yang Chunxiao also rushed into the battlefield. The moment he approached the ghost, he jumped up, and his hands burst out light blue gas and flew towards the skull, strengthening the attack on the ghost and continuing to consume the energy in its body.
The situation looked pretty good. With the weapons and equipment prepared in advance and tacit cooperation, the Special Service Group 6 successfully suppressed the skeleton ghost. Yu Ke did not rush to join the battlefield. He chose to close the distance and carefully observe the combat status of the skeleton ghost.
"Avoid facing the enemy head-on, keep wandering, weaken its state, and buy time for me."
Eliminating the skeleton ghost is not the main task tonight. There are too many similar existences in Shanqing City. Wu Huai knows very well that their real goal is to find out the root of this monster.
Seeing that the team members have restrained the skeleton ghost, Wu Huai directly inserted the judge's pen into the ground, maintaining the existence of the ink chain, blocking one arm of the skeleton ghost, and retreating two steps at the same time, taking out a talisman from his arms and throwing it up.
In conjunction with the spell chanted by Wu Huai, the talisman ignited in the wind, and then turned into several streams of light and shot towards the lampposts around the crossroads, where there were talismans he had drawn in advance!
The magic circle was activated, with the lamp post as the fulcrum. Under Wu Huai's guidance, the light golden beam shot directly at the skeleton ghost, dispelling the dark energy in its body and suppressing its combat power.
For a moment, the skeleton ghost's body was full of roiling black smoke, and its body was stiff in place, as if it had lost its ability to move.
Seeing this scene, Wu Huai was excited. As long as they could suppress this monster, they would have the opportunity to investigate it closely, and maybe they would have the opportunity to figure out where these twisted and terrifying monsters came from.
But at this critical moment, Wu Huai heard Yu Ke's reminder in his ear,
"Hurry up and let your people withdraw, it's going to run away!"
"What?"
Seeing that the situation was completely under control, Wu Huai looked at Yu Ke with surprise.
"Trust me, keep them away from that monster, unless you want Yang Chunxiao and the others to die there!"
Yu Ke, who passed by Wu Huai, left only this sentence and took action, approaching the battlefield at a very fast speed, while bending his bow and drawing an arrow, with dark green natural energy wrapped around the arrow.
"Chunxiao, take people away from the ghost immediately, quickly!"
Although Wu Huai didn't know why Yu Ke made such a judgment that was inconsistent with the situation, the latter's resume in Jinghang City was enough for him to choose to trust and decisively issue orders.
Almost at the same time when Yang Chunxiao asked the team members surrounding the skeleton ghost to withdraw.
A ray of scarlet blood suddenly burst out from the black smoke surrounding the ghost.
The black smoke, which was originally condensed by the dark energy, encountered this blood light, just like a burning match falling into the oil on the ground, and suddenly burst out a scorching air wave.
The violent blood-red flames swept the surrounding streets in an instant, melting the snow on the streets and sweeping away the snow. Not only did it burn all the chains that bound the skeleton ghost, but it also made it enter the second stage.
The blood flames wrapped around its body to form armor, and the broken skeleton suddenly became a red flame giant wearing armor, roaring in the center of the block to announce its arrival. The power displayed in every move made Wu Huai's face change suddenly.
The strength of this monster is a little beyond expectations!
At the critical moment, several dark green arrows flew towards the red flame giant. Compared with its huge body, these arrows were really nothing. The red flame giant waved his hand to stop them.
But at the moment when the two collided.
The natural energy concentrated in the arrow body suddenly burst into a brilliant light, forcibly suppressing the wanton burning flames.
Although this suppression lasted less than two seconds, it was still enough for Yu Ke to seize the opportunity, step into the air, land on the flames to temporarily extinguish the skeleton's arm to borrow strength, and the whole person soared into the sky again.
The blackthorn bow and arrow disappeared in his hand, and the Leviathan Axe was in hand. The wind and snow gathered all over the sky, and the natural energy in the forest spirit mark was constantly poured into the axe.
The extraordinary characteristics of the recast Leviathan Axe were brought to the extreme at this moment, and the special effects were amplified!
Wu Huai and others who had just retreated to the side to avoid the heat wave only saw Yu Ke holding a dark green giant axe that was wider than him, wrapped in the wind and snow and chopped directly at the top of the red flame giant's head.
In an instant, the red flame was annihilated, and the violent momentum also stopped abruptly.
The skeleton ghost who finally came to the world from another world was killed by someone before he had time to vent his resentment.
It was really aggrieved!
