Chapter 260 Heroic Ghost
The cold wind howled in the dark cracks.
"It's getting colder."
Chu Xiu discovered that in this abyss, it seemed that in addition to the depth, the movement of the horizontal plane would also affect the concentration of Yin Qi.
They did not continue to fall just now, but just as they approached the place where the bell sounded, the concentration of Yin Qi began to rise sharply.
even
Chu Xiu's consciousness captured several ghosts. They were climbing on the nearby stone wall and looking at Chu Xiu and the two of them curiously.
Come to think of it, this land has not seen any living creatures for too long.
Chu Xiu was also scanning each other with his spiritual consciousness. Any one of these creatures had reached the general level, and unlike ordinary ghosts, they had lived in places with strong Yin energy for a long time, and had condensed into substantial souls with pure Yin energy. The body looks no different from a normal creature.
Chu Xiu stretched out his fingers and flicked, and instantly several spears composed of demonic energy shot out towards the ghosts.
But at this time, what surprised him was that after he launched the attack, those ghosts roared together, and the surrounding Yin Qi changed with their roars, as if they had formed brick walls one after another. The earth slowed down the demonic spear.
"Hey, senior, the strength of these ghosts seems to have increased a lot in the Yin Qi environment." Jiang Miaoyin said curiously.
Chu Xiu nodded. This special environment allowed the creatures living here to master unique survival skills. With the help of Yin Qi, their combat power increased at least three times.
It's a pity that even thirty times is not enough to stop Chu Xiu.
He waved his hand again, and this time the demonic spear penetrated the curious ghosts without any suspense. After their bodies were shattered, their souls naturally escaped. Chu Xiu's ghosts swarmed up and quickly killed them. The portion is eaten up.
The cores of those ghosts were wiped out of consciousness and absorbed into the soul flags. The quality of the souls here is very high, and it will not be a problem to be promoted to ghosts in the future.
After cleaning up a few more curious ghosts, the two of them suddenly looked at each other and stopped as if they saw something.
"Senior, we seem to have found the source of the bell." Jiang Miaoyin said.
"Um."
Chu Xiu looked forward, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Less than three thousand meters away, the stone walls on both sides suddenly narrowed, forming a narrow gap that looked like a thin line from a distance.
However, even though it is a thin line, it is only hundreds of meters wide compared to the huge stone wall.
And in this thin line, there is a huge ghost.
Only the upper body of this ghost was left, and all the flesh and blood on its body had been corroded by the Yin Qi, leaving only a huge pale skeleton. Its ribs were inserted into the stone walls on both sides, holding its body firmly between the cracks.
It has been here for an unknown length of time, so long that the skeleton has been covered with a layer of viscous substance that looks like moss and silt, which is the Yin Qi substance condensed by the settling of time.
Its head is designed as a sophisticated instrument. Its eyeballs rotate on a designed track. When they slide to the bridge of the nose, the eyeballs will hit the nasal bones and emit a sound like a yellow bell. Strong voice.
That sound contains a magical power that can be transmitted very far away. Moreover, the skull used to guide the direction of the blessed land is accurately aimed at the huge ghost. Obviously, its ability to guide the direction comes from this.
And just above the skull of the huge ghost, several symbols were artificially carved.
"It's the Twilight Realm." Jiang Miaoyin narrowed her eyes.
"The inheritance land is for monks of the ghost exorcist civilization to select and capture suitable ghosts. It will be artificially divided into two areas: inner and outer areas. This dividing line is called the twilight realm."
"Within the Twilight Realm, the concentration of Yin Qi will rise sharply, and more powerful and brutal ghosts will appear."
"Well, let me see. According to the data records, it seems that there are basically two levels of ghosts on the outside: warrior and fierce. There are very few generals, but there may be kings on the inner level!"
"But the ones we encountered along the way were all generals. According to this calculation, it would not be unusual for a heroic ghost to be raised in the inner layer."
Chu Xiu was a little surprised: "How come you know everything?"
Jiang Miaoyin smiled proudly: "In our clan, we have dedicated staff to collect and analyze various intelligence. Sometimes a lot of information can be inferred from an ordinary mural."
"It only takes a few days, but we have already deciphered 30% of the characters of the Ghost Exorcist civilization!"
"Isn't it amazing? What do you think, senior, do you want to consider becoming the guest elder of our Jiang family? These services are provided for free. Not only that, but there are also a considerable number of offerings every year!"
Chu Xiu smiled and did not answer. He just led Jiang Miaoyin through the twilight realm and walked deeper.
However, there was something strange in his heart. This huge ghost was obviously a landmark used by the ghost exorcist civilization to mark its location. The structure of the ghost was quite sophisticated, so it should be easy to malfunction. But why is it still there after two thousand years? Can it work?
Moreover, sediments caused by Yin Qi have accumulated on its ribs, but the head used to make sounds has no sound at all, as if it had been regularly maintained and cleaned.
But he didn't think much about it and just kept moving forward.
After passing through the rift, a deeper pit appeared in front of me. It felt like discovering a deeper trench deep under the sea. The darkness that was so rich that it could not be broken made people feel an instinctive fear.
Chu Xiu dispersed his consciousness and sank cautiously.
The inner area is vast and boundless, and Chu Xiu's consciousness cannot reach the end. It is like a dark and lifeless valley. As the two of them sink, the concentration of Yin Qi rises sharply. At this time, even with the support of the Jiang family's cold-proof props As they watched, both of them felt a slight chill.
Finally, after a few more minutes, the two of them reached the bottom.
At this moment, the concentration of Yin Qi here is a thousand times that of the outside world, and has even turned into a light mist. Here, Chu Xiu's consciousness can only detect up to 500 meters. He has never thought that the Yin Qi can be so dense that Such a situation.
Chu Xiu thought for a while, and simply raised his hand to release the ghosts in his soul flag. As soon as these ghosts appeared, they greedily absorbed the surrounding Yin Qi like a fish in water, and the soul body became more solid visibly to the naked eye.
This made Chu Xiu couldn't help but sigh, the world of the Melting Pot of Hundreds of Ghosts is indeed a paradise for ghosts.
Under this concentration of yin energy, Chu Xiu only needs to let the ghosts in the soul flag roam freely for three years, and the average level can be directly raised to at least four or five levels.
In this way, Chu Xiu warmed up the ghosts while exploring the inner layer. After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, he harvested two more materials and four general-level ghosts.
"The 250 billion spent is worth it." Chu Xiu thought happily.
Of course, the inheritance place is not that easy to find. Chu Xiu also has some luck. It seems that the two heroic spirits explored earlier than him, but they have not found the inheritance place yet.
And this incident also made Chu Xiu realize the importance of the team and intelligence. Without Jiang Miaoyin, he would be wandering around like a headless fly, and his harvest would be greatly reduced.
Just when Chu Xiu was thinking, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing on his face. This was not a strange thing. The yin energy at the bottom of the deep valley was rich, and countless irregular air currents intertwined and entwined with each other, forming a complex flow. state.
But what makes Chu Xiu feel strange is that this dark wind is not fleeting as usual. On the contrary, it has become stronger and stronger.
It was as if there was a force pushing these airflows in front of him.
Chu Xiu realized something and quickly put away all the ghosts and took Jiang Miaoyin to the corner. After a while, the sinister wind not only did not weaken, but became stronger and stronger!
In the distance, there were bursts of sounds like ancient horns. The sounds were mixed in the dark wind, as if the wind was roaring and roaring angrily, which was terrifying.
After waiting for a while, an incredibly large creature appeared in front of the two of them.
It was suspended in mid-air, like a whale swimming in the air, but it was thousands or ten thousand times larger than the whale. Even the Tianlong that Chu Xiu had seen in the old trials could not compare with it!
The two of them hid under a protruding rock, and could only see the giant thing that occupied the entire line of sight swimming through the air. The two of them restrained all their auras, as if they were waiting for a luxury ferry of more than 100,000 tons to pass by. .
It took a full five minutes before the huge figure disappeared from their sight.
"This must be at least twenty kilometers long, right?" Jiang Miaoyin secretly exclaimed, "I didn't expect that I was right. This must be a [heroic spirit] ghost!"
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
"No," unexpectedly Chu Xiu shook his head, "[Heroic Spirit] level ghosts are called ghost kings. It is extremely difficult for ghosts to advance to ghost kings. If they can advance by relying solely on the accumulation of Yin Qi, it will not be difficult. The ghost exorcist civilization has not cultivated a ghost king for so many years.”
"Even if there are really [heroic spirit] level ghosts, they are in the Nine Holy Lands."
"The huge size of this ghost is only due to the growth and expansion of the ghost's soul body, which is not limited by the biological structure."
"Is that so?" Jiang Miaoyin scratched her head, "Does that mean that guy is puffy?"
"It's not that he is puffy and fat," Chu Xiu was amused. "It's just that his level is still king level. In a real fight, he may not be weaker than ordinary heroic spirits. Especially in large-scale battlefields, he is far more useful than ordinary heroic spirits. "
"I have encountered this kind of opponent before. Although he is only a king-level opponent, it is almost impossible to defeat him head-on."
Chu Xiu thought of Earth Dragon and Tianlong. In the former, his Sin-Judging Demonic Sword could only leave a wound that was almost invisible due to its huge size. The latter even forced him to self-destruct almost all the ghosts before he could barely stop it. .
In fact, Chu Xiu had only destroyed the control of Tianren. If he wanted to blow up Tianlong in its complete form, even tripling the size of his ghost army might not be enough.
It is no exaggeration to say that an enemy of that level is a [Heroic Spirit].
"Senior, what should we do now?" Jiang Miaoyin asked.
Chu Xiu thought for a while and said: "The intensity of the ghosts in this inner area is beyond my expectation. I don't know what variables will be caused by fighting here. Let's clear out the outer resources first."
"Okay!" Jiang Miaoyin's eyes lit up, "Senior, what about my proposal before."
"Everything I find will be mine, and you will get 28% of what you find." Chu Xiu said.
"Yeah!" Jiang Miaoyin's eyes brightened even more, and she shouted sweetly, "Thank you, senior!"
The 28% split may seem harsh, but it is actually a huge opportunity. Without Chu Xiu's protection, Jiang Miaoyin would not dare to go deep into the inheritance place.
Although the ratio is almost the same when working with other heroic spirits, Jiang Miaoyin also knows that it is because the other party is doing it for the sake of her family, and Chu Xiu can give him a 20% share, which is far beyond her expectations. .
She winked playfully: "It seems that although you are usually indifferent, you still miss the old times."
Chu Xiu waved his hand: "It's just to complete the exploration of this place as soon as possible, so don't be passive and lazy."
This huge inheritance blessed land has a depth of at least 20 to 30 kilometers, and combined with the area, it forms an absurdly large three-dimensional space, not to mention that Chu Xiu's consciousness is suppressed here.
If he relies on himself, it will probably take more than half a year to completely search this area.
And Chu Xiu's answer made Jiang Miaoyin smile and said: "Don't worry, the senior is so good to me, I will do my best to live up to the senior's kindness."
Chu Xiu always felt that this woman seemed to be deliberately saying some ambiguous words, but he just waved his hand helplessly, summoned the ghost in the soul flag, made a general plan, and searched along the stone wall.
Jiang Miaoyin was sitting on one of Chu Xiu's corpses, with the mother body of the Shanqi floating above her head, and countless daughter Shanqis constantly pouring out and swimming around.
However, it was obvious that the high concentration of Yin Qi environment also had a great impact on the actions of the Shanqis. Not long after they left the mother body, their speed slowed down significantly, and the surface of their bodies was covered with a layer of ice crystals that could be seen with the naked eye. Those crystals spread into the jelly-like body of the Shanqis, as if it would not take long to freeze the whole body.
Jiang Miaoyin shouted softly, and countless inscriptions appeared on her fair skin, floating into the bodies of the Shanqis around her. With the blessing of the inscriptions, their bodies changed rapidly. Their bodies were no longer as transparent as jelly, but a layer of skin quickly grew on the surface to isolate the Yin Qi, and a little fire lit up inside their bodies. From a distance, they looked like Kongming lanterns floating in the air.
What's even more amazing is that the changes in Shan Naqi are still continuing. After just a quarter of an hour, not only does the skin become thicker, but they even have soul-like wings that absorb Yin Qi as a mobile energy source!
"Awesome." Even Chu Xiu couldn't help but praise.
However, it is obviously not easy for Jiang Miaoyin to display such a powerful magical power. At this time, her face is pale, her breath is much weaker, and she huddles up, looking pitiful.
Chu Xiu thought about it, waved his hand, and the magic energy formed a barrier beside her, further isolating the surrounding Yin Qi.
"Thank you, senior." Jiang Miaoyin said, with a hint of joy in her eyes.
Chu Xiu didn't care, just commanded the ghosts to scatter and concentrate on searching the area nearby.
In the following time, the two of them explored this blessed land with peace of mind, and they could make new discoveries almost every day.
Materials, ghosts, and even the bodies of the exorcists buried here two thousand years ago, as well as their damaged props and equipment.
While Chu Xiu was exploring, he could also let the ghosts absorb Yin Qi to practice. Although the normal practice speed was definitely much slower than the soul-devouring body, it was still a significant improvement over time.
In this way, Chu Xiu had a rare period of leisure and calmness. In his focused exploration and practice, three months passed in a flash.
