Chapter 263 Survivors

Logically speaking, the further you go, the harder it should be to improve your strength.

Especially since you are already a Heroic Spirit, you shouldn't get much experience points by killing these general-level and king-level monsters.

But why does Chu Xiu's strength increase much faster than his own?

Is this reasonable!

Jiang Miaoyin couldn't help but ask: "Senior, why do you seem to become much stronger every time you retreat? Do Heroic Spirit Awakeners also upgrade so quickly?" Jiang Miaoyin couldn't help but ask.

"You think too much," Chu Xiu said without turning his head, "I have mastered these skills a long time ago, but I just didn't meet an opponent worthy of using them before."

Jiang Miaoyin said "Oh", and felt something was wrong. If Chu Xiu had this magical power, wouldn't he have smashed the area deep in the Soul Palace long ago? Why use the ghost army to consume it slowly?

However, this doubt was fleeting, and she quickly stepped forward to help Chu Xiu clean up.

Jiang Miaoyin didn't care about other people's secrets, she only cared about the scattered Extreme Yin Water, but she had her share!

The two of them moved quickly, and soon they had gathered all the extremely Yin water, and Chu Xiu's ghost army also evolved again.

In seven days, four more ghost generals were born!

But just as Chu Xiu was about to continue hunting, he suddenly heard a low hum from a distance.

His face changed, and he pulled Jiang Miaoyin over: "It's coming again."

Jiang Miaoyin immediately understood, sensed the instantaneous wonders around, and then pointed in a direction. The two flew three or four kilometers and saw a sunken gap on the stone wall at a height of 100 meters. They drilled in skillfully, extinguished the protective oil lamp, and then concealed all their own breath.

Although they had no props, the rich Yin Qi immediately began to erode their bodies, but as kings, it was not a problem to resist for a short time.

The low hum became louder and louder, gradually turning into the sound of a horn on an ancient battlefield. Chu Xiu felt that the land around him was shaking.

A huge shadow covered the two of them. Chu Xiu looked up and saw a huge object that was difficult to see clearly flying over his head. Its body almost filled the space between the mountains. The view on the stone wall 100 meters high was quite wide, but only a part of its flank could be seen.

It was the terrifying ghost from last time!

During this period, Chu Xiu and the others also discovered that this ghost was like a king patrolling his territory, and it would go around the inner area almost every day.

At this time, all ghosts would hide their bodies to avoid being discovered by it.

The two had seen with their own eyes that two king-level ghosts were swallowed and destroyed by the giant ghost because they made too much noise when fighting for a spiritual herb.

Moreover, as the previous intelligence said, this giant monster, like other leaders, also has his own subordinates.

"Senior, is such a terrifying creature really not a [Heroic Spirit]?" Jiang Miaoyin showed fear on her face.

"No," Chu Xiu shook his head. "Such a huge body can only be maintained in this blessed land with incredibly dense yin energy. If it is placed in the outside world, I am afraid that most of it will be consumed in a few years."

"However, in this blessed land, it is better than a heroic spirit."

Jiang Miaoyin heard Chu Xiu's subtext, that is, Chu Xiu seemed to have no confidence in defeating such a huge and incredible ghost.

But this is normal. Jiang Miaoyin recalled several heroes she was familiar with and found that no one dared to say that he could defeat this overlord here.

Even if we don't know what special means this terrifying creature that looks like Kunpeng has, it is probably impossible to guarantee that it will escape unscathed.

In fact, Chu Xiu was also thinking.

"More than half of the ghosts in this inner area have been swallowed by this big guy. If it is killed, a lot of good things will definitely explode! It is even possible that this one is higher than all the other ghosts combined!"

"This huge soul body, I don't know to what level my ghost army can be raised!"

When a whale falls, all things come to life, that's what it means.

But the question is how to do it?

Killing it head-on is definitely not an option. Chu Xiu's magic condensed soldiers are indeed extremely powerful, but in front of a creature of this size, it is probably no different from an insect bite.

Long-range consumption is also not an option. One swallow and one spit out a huge amount of Yin Qi. Relying on the characteristics of the [Extreme Yin Body], the body's repair ability is probably extremely terrifying.

"Woo-woo-"

Just as Chu Xiu was thinking, the dull horn sounded again. Chu Xiu smelled a foul odor, and a dark rain fell in the sky in front of him.

"Senior, this monster has started to 'excrete' again. These raindrops seem to be impurities in the Yin Qi. God, so many, how much Yin Qi does this guy swallow in a day?"

Jiang Miaoyin couldn't help but exclaim.

It's also thanks to the special world of the Hundred Ghosts Furnace that the sun sprinkles Yin Qi, and the Yin Qi of the whole world is sinking downwards, so it can support such a monster.

In the extremely Yin land of the ordinary world, the Yin Qi inside will probably be sucked dry by this monster in less than a month.

However, the two of them were not worried. They had seen this scene three or four times. This big guy wandered in this inner area, randomly opening up, and each time he excreted his soul body, it would become more refined. It was relying on this mode to continuously strengthen.

They just needed to wait for it to leave. It would not return to this area in a short time, and Chu Xiu and the others would have a certain amount of free time to explore.

But at this moment, suddenly in the dull humming sound, a subtle sound was heard, like the friction sound of a metal collision.

The sound was extremely small, but it could not be concealed from Wang Jie's perception. The two of them looked at the source of the sound at the same time, and their eyes suddenly widened in disbelief!

This huge ghost is like a whale. It has an excretion port on its back, and it will regularly discharge impurities from the body through that channel.

A large amount of dark ink-like liquid spurted out from here like a fountain, and turned into a drizzle after rising to a certain height.

There was nothing surprising about this, just like every excretion in the past, but this time, following the soft sound, the two of them saw a black shadow spurting out from the excretion port!

The black shadow rolled several times in the air before barely regaining its balance. Then it opened its body, and the Yin energy around it seemed to form a pair of invisible glider wings, leading it to fall into the distance.

"Senior, am I dazzled? That damn thing looks like a person!"

"To be precise, he is a tribesman with a civilization of exorcists." Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes. Although his face was calm, he was also shocked in his heart.

He never expected that the Ghost Exorcist civilization actually had survivors! But how could it be such a coincidence? Was he encountered by them like this? And why did it spurt out from the body of that huge ghost?

"Senior, us?"

"Follow us and take a look." Chu Xiu made a decision immediately.

"good."

The two lifted up the stones covering their bodies, fell to the ground, and followed carefully behind the suspended figure in the sky.

The man didn't seem to be very strong. He stumbled in the thick fog of Yin Qi. He couldn't even keep his body steady several times and almost fell.

But fortunately, in the end it landed on a nearby protruding cliff without any danger.

The man sat on the protrusion and took a breath, took out a skull from his hand, and then walked in a certain direction under the guidance of the skull.

It didn't seem to adapt well to the Yin Qi environment. It shivered with cold in this environment, and the aura on its body flickered on and off.

Because the huge ghost had not completely left at this time, Chu and Xiu did not dare to get close and could only watch from a distance.

"Senior, this person seems to have some means to make the large ghost ignore him." Jiang Miaoyin said.

While the two were talking, the man had climbed over the cliff and disappeared from their sight.

However, his level was not high, and he did not deliberately hide his whereabouts, so Chu Xiu and the others were not in a hurry to track him.

About a quarter of an hour later, when the super-large ghost completely disappeared from sight, the two of them relit the oil lamps that dispelled the yin energy, and immediately jumped into the air, chasing the person in the direction where he disappeared.

Soon, they caught two lines of shallow footprints and followed them. Not long after, a narrow crack appeared in front of them.

"This is the Twilight Realm. Does that person want to get out?" Jiang Miaoyin guessed.

Chu Xiu said nothing, just vibrating Garuda's wings, and soon the two of them crossed the twilight realm. The skeletal ghost that stretched across the twilight realm with only its upper body appeared in their sight.

At this time, the ghost seemed a little cleaner than before. Suddenly, there was a muffled sound from the huge head of the ghost. Chu and Xiu looked at each other and flew in.

Although Chu Xiu had not gone in to explore before, he had already scanned the entire ghost with his spiritual consciousness. There was only a pile of dead bones in its head, and there was nothing special about it.

And it is still the same now, except that among the dead bones on the ground, there is an extra ghost exorcist who fell to the ground and was dying.

Its face is pale, its body has been invaded by Yin Qi, and its life is not long.

This strange scene made Chu Xiu and Jiang Miaoyin look at each other, not knowing what was going on.

This guy went all the way here just to wait for death?

Please...you...collect 6...books...!

At this time, Chu Xiu looked at the dead bones on the ground with a thoughtful expression.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Xiu flicked his finger, and a wisp of lamp flame flew to the side of the man, dispersing the surrounding Yin Qi. Chu Xiu waved his hand again, and the demonic Qi that surged out surrounded the entire head. Let the outside Yin Qi penetrate even the slightest bit.

Soon, the inside of the head became warm.

The man originally only had one breath left, but as the Yin Qi was dissipated, his complexion slowly began to turn rosy, and he woke up after a while.

When he saw Chu and Xiu, he was immediately frightened, turned over and muttered a long list of words that the two of them could not understand at a very fast speed.

"Calm down, I saved your life."

Chu Xiu's plain thoughts were conveyed to him, which made the Ghost Exorcist clansman stunned. He began to look at Chu Xiu and the two of them carefully, and after a long while, he murmured something again.

Chu Xiu turned to Jiang Miaoyin: "What is he talking about?"

Jiang Miaoyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Senior, you really think that I am omnipotent. How do I know what he is talking about?"

Chu Xiu said: "Didn't your clan decipher a lot of texts before?"

"Well, it's still less than 30% so far. Is that okay?"

"Try it." Chu Xiu said.

"Okay." Jiang Miaoyin tentatively used her spiritual power to draw a few symbols in the air. Fortunately, the Ghost Exorcist seemed to be literate. His eyes lit up immediately and he quickly began to draw. The three of them started to communicate in a stumbling manner. .

And about half an hour later, Chu Xiu finally figured out what happened.

There are actually survivors in the Ghost Exorcist civilization! And there are quite a lot of them! There are a full 30,000 people!

It turns out that this tribe lived near the blessed land on weekdays and was a famous and large tribe at that time.

When facing the desperate situation of the riot of ghosts all over the world, the chief of the tribe suddenly came up with a brilliant plan.

At that time, this huge ghost already existed. Although its body was not as big as it is now, it was also several kilometers long and a hegemon that roamed the blessed land. It was also the main force that attacked their tribe when the ghosts rioted.

The chief gathered the most talented and potential people in the tribe together, pretended to be defeated, and was swallowed by the giant ghost. Then he quickly opened up the prepared formation and opened up a space in the belly of the giant ghost at the cost of sacrificing the lives of hundreds of strong men.

In layman's terms, they disguised themselves as a stone.

A stone rooted in the belly of the giant ghost.

In this "stone", there are 50 carefully selected "seeds", the knowledge of the entire tribe, and the materials that barely support their survival.

In the next two thousand years, this group of "seeds" avoided the pursuit of other ghosts in this weird way and survived fortunately.

After all, even the ghost king probably couldn't have imagined that someone was hiding in the stomach of his general.

Later, as the giant ghost continued to absorb Yin Qi to expand its soul body, this group of people also continued to grow. From time to time, some of them were born with amazing talents. Some discovered ways to expand "stones", and some invented ways to steal Yin Qi, thus constantly improving their living environment.

Today, the entire tribe has 30,000 people. Although these 30,000 people are crowded in a small space, just like living in a small and cramped submarine, they have survived tenaciously.

"It's a pity that the new generation of tribesmen no longer think that the formation is a shelter, but a prison."

"In that crowded space, some people yearn for freedom more than death."

"One thousand seven hundred years ago, a genius invented a way to leave. In the days that followed, we never gave up exploring the outside world. Although none of the explorers who went out came back, let alone brought back any useful information, there are still many people who wishfully believe that they lived a free life after leaving here."

"I am one of them."

"I was a doctor in the tribe and one of the top ten strong men in the tribe. I dedicated my life to the tribe. When my life began to age, I could no longer suppress my yearning for the outside world and decided to go out to find out."

"At that time, I had only one obsession, that is, I would die outside!"

"But when I really came out, I instantly realized the problem. The concentration of yin energy here has become more than ten times that recorded in ancient books."

"But at this time, I have no way out. I can only rely on the props in my hand 's guidance, and went to the legendary 'shelter' that communicates with the outside world. "

"But when I really came here with my body eroded by the Yin Qi, and saw the dry bones all over the ground, I understood everything. I finally knew the final destination of the best and strongest people in the tribe who had left in the past. "

Speaking of this, the man couldn't help but cover his face and cry: "There is no outside anymore. We are the last survivors. Even if there is, we must leave this blessed land, but according to the degree of Yin Qi here, it is impossible for anyone to go out. "

"Even if you go out, where can you go?"

"So I did the same thing as all the explorers before, and it was also the last thing I could do. "

"I cleaned up this shelter, replenished my remaining soul power for the guidance equipment, and then sat here quietly to welcome death. "

As the voice fell, Jiang Miaoyin couldn't help showing a sympathetic look. She quietly pulled Chu Xiu's sleeve and said in a voice transmission: "Senior, they are so pitiful."

The outstanding young people in the tribe died one after another, and the final result was just to maintain a ray of hope.

What's even more tragic is that this tribe may be the luckiest one, because they finally waited for Chu Xiu and Jiang Miaoyin.

"And all this was caused by us." Jiang Miaoyin's expression was a little gloomy.

Chu Xiu didn't reply, but just thought about what the man said, and thought of a bad possibility, and his face became a little ugly.

He naturally didn't have extra sympathy like this girl. What he cared about was that if the guidance equipment here was maintained because someone kept supporting it, then other places

Chu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and didn't think about it anymore, but turned to look at the man.

"So, if you want to liberate your people, you must kill that super-large ghost?"
