Chapter 98 Ghost Fish

Changbai Mountain, Baiyun Peak, and Tianchi Lake.

The night falls like silk painted with thick ink, covering this majestic mountain.

Huo Qinghuang sat by the campfire, wielding the dagger in his hand, cutting off pieces of crocodile meat and throwing them into his mouth.

She ate very quickly, and soon all the tender meat on the crocodile's belly had gone into her stomach.

"quack!"

Dear ancestor, please don’t eat it all, but leave some for me!

Xiaobai was screaming anxiously.

It was lying on a crocodile's leg and pecking at food, but its mouth was too small and it couldn't eat much.

He could only stare at Huo Qinghuang, wishing he could rush forward immediately, pick up all the crocodile meat she had cut, and stuff it into his own stomach.

"This is my prey. Giving you a leg is good enough. Don't be greedy."

Huo Qinghuang glanced at it indifferently.

The energy contained in this mutant crocodile meat is insignificant to her, but it is a great tonic for Xiaobai.

Eating too much is not a good thing.

Hearing what Huo Qinghuang said, Xiaobai withdrew his gaze in disappointment and buried his head in eating.

Huo Qinghuang curled her lips slightly, too lazy to pay attention to it, and continued to eat the crocodile meat.

Baiyun Peak is exceptionally quiet tonight. All around is silent, without any sound. Even the chirping of insects and birds that were exceptionally lively in the past have disappeared.

Only the bonfire grew brighter and brighter, accompanied by the seemingly never-ending sounds of chewing.

After an unknown amount of time, a mutant crocodile was finally eaten by a man and a bird.

Huo Qinghuang put away the dagger, suddenly raised his head and glanced around.

"Hey?"

What's going on?

Xiaobai raised his little head and looked at her in confusion.

"Nothing, go practice, don't disturb me."

Huo Qinghuang narrowed her eyes and said calmly.

Xiaobai had already been troubled by the energy running wild in his body. When he heard Huo Qinghuang's order, he immediately flapped his wings, flew to a nearby tree, and began to practice.

Then, Huo Qinghuang waved his hands, and the energy in his palms inhaled and exhaled, extinguishing the bonfire.

In an instant, the entire Tianchi Lake was plunged into darkness, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

Huo Qinghuang sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to digest the crocodile meat he had just eaten.

Time passed little by little, and before I knew it, it was already deep night.

At this moment, the water waves beside the Tianchi Lake suddenly surged, and a ball of black gas suddenly appeared beside the pool.

The black gas squirmed for a while, and finally transformed into a woman in white, who was standing by the pool, all wet. Her long hair covered her face, so her features could not be seen clearly.

Suddenly, she raised her head, stared at Huo Qinghuang, roared, and pounced over.

Huo Qinghuang didn't even raise an eyelid, stretched out his right hand and pinched her neck.

The female ghost was stiff all over, staring at Huo Qinghuang with wide eyes, her face swollen from the pool water and full of fear.

Huo Qinghuang suddenly opened his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the strength in his hands suddenly increased.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang, and the female ghost let out a miserable scream.

Her neck was broken by Huo Qinghuang, and her head exploded. Then she turned into a ball of black mist and tried to escape, but was sucked into Huo Qinghuang's stomach.

"Pah, it's been a long time since I've swallowed such a low-level ghost. It tastes so bad!"

Huo Qinghuang curled her lips in disdain, then closed her eyes and continued to practice.

But the next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes full of strangeness.

"Eating ghosts can actually bring merit?"

She muttered in surprise.

In the spiritual world, ghosts are also considered a kind of living creature. The more you kill, the heavier the sin will be. As karma accumulates, there will naturally be no good ending.

She had devoured countless ghosts in her previous life, but because she had the Phoenix Divine Fire to burn away karma, she had never experienced any negative karma-related phenomena.

But in this world, not only does eating ghosts not result in any karma, but merits are instead accrued?

Although it is only a little bit, it is also a merit!

Huo Qinghuang frowned slightly, thinking about the reason.

After all, she was once an empress, and her knowledge was beyond the reach of ordinary people. She quickly figured out the connection.

Because this world lacks spiritual energy, the clear air sinks, the turbid air rises, and the yin and yang are confused, so there are more and more resentful ghosts who do not enter the cycle of reincarnation.

These resentful ghosts linger in the human world and cannot avoid doing evil. Also, because the spiritual energy is cut off, there are almost no true practitioners. It is impossible to completely eliminate these resentful ghosts.

Therefore, the laws of nature in this world have changed. As long as you eliminate the evil spirits with evil power and blood, you will receive merit.

"That's fine, isn't it just to kill evil spirits? If there's one I'll eat it all up, if there's a pair I'll eat a pair, it's all good deeds!"

Huo Qinghuang licked her lips, not caring about the taste of the ghost, and stared at Tianchi with shining eyes.

“Creaky…”

Coincidentally, at this moment, the water in Tianchi Lake began to shake and a creepy sound of grinding teeth was heard.

"Is there really something?"

Huo Qinghuang raised his eyebrows, a hint of interest appearing in his eyes.

“Crack! Crack!”

There was a burst of intensive biting sounds, which became louder and louder, as if something underwater was rushing towards her.

Huo Qinghuang was not in a hurry. He sat cross-legged, looking at the water calmly, waiting for the thing to approach.

"boom!"

The next moment, the water in Tianchi Lake exploded with a loud bang, and dense schools of fish jumped out of the water, twisting their bodies in the air and pouncing towards Huo Qinghuang.

These fish are not big, each one is only the size of a palm, with a pair of red eyes rolling around, revealing an evil glow, and looks quite scary.

At this moment they gathered together, and at a glance there were tens of thousands of them, all with their mouths open, showing their sharp teeth, biting towards Huo Qinghuang.

Huo Qinghuang's expression changed.

How could she have imagined that the creature that attacked her was not a big one, but a group of fish?

However, although these fish look small in size, when gathered together, their lethality is probably greater than that of the mutant crocodile.

Huo Qinghuang couldn't sit still any longer, so he immediately flew up and floated away.

She didn't know that these fish were not ordinary fish, but the souls of those who had died in Tianchi Lake over the years, and were called ghost fish.

This kind of fish is formed by the condensation of negative energy. It is ferocious and brutal. It specializes in preying on living things to vent its resentment and anger.

“Crack! Crack!”

Huo Qinghuang had just left the spot when the ghost fish chased her madly, opened their mouths, showing their sharp fangs, and bit her relentlessly.

Huo Qinghuang's eyes became fierce and he no longer dodged. Instead, he took out a dagger and killed all the ghost fish that were approaching him.

However, there were too many ghost fish and they could not be killed all.

Moreover, these ghost fish are ferocious and brutal. If they are not killed, they will continue to do evil in Tianchi.

Of course, with Huo Qinghuang's personality, she would not let it go since these ghost fish had provoked her.
