Chapter 38: Devouring Ghosts

"Junior Uncle-Master, let's...let's form a team together!" Song Huifang said somewhat embarrassedly.

Gu Shihan glanced at the few people, nodded in agreement, and said, "You can form a team! You have consumed too much spiritual power, so recover here! I will protect you!

Gu Shihan saw several people meditating on the spot and reminded them, "Don't absorb the spiritual energy here. Use spiritual stones instead. It's safer!"

"Okay!" The five of them sat together, holding spirit stones in their hands and began to regulate their breathing. After an hour, they woke up from their meditation one after another.

Xingbai found all the information about ghost-eaters from the classics.

Generally speaking, ghost-eaters are not real ghosts.

They were originally the resentment generated by those resentful ghosts who were unwilling to enter the cycle of reincarnation. Over time, the resentment devoured each other and finally became individuals with a certain degree of intelligence.

They devour anything that has spiritual energy, and are particularly fond of souls.

In the fairy world, ghost-eating creatures are also difficult to deal with, and their lethality is quite strong.

Because they have no specific shape, they exist in the form of mist most of the time, making people fall into the trap without knowing it.

It is said that an unlucky Golden Immortal may be devoured by a devouring ghost if he encounters it, and his lifelong cultivation will be turned into nothingness.

Gu Shihan listened to Xing Bai's chattering and felt a sense of urgency. He looked at the thick fog drifting over the sky and reminded, "Everyone be careful!"

Song Huifang and the other four quickly became alert. In less than a quarter of an hour, they were surrounded by green eyes. These were originally ordinary plants, but under the influence of the mist, they became ghost-eating eyes and vanguard soldiers.

After several battles with the plant puppets, Song Huifang and her companions learned some tricks.

Everyone started the massacre tacitly, but always maintained the five strict formations.

The Five Strict Formation is the most common team combat formation in the world of immortal cultivation. Although it is ordinary, its defensive power is not weak. The only requirement is that the cultivators who form the formation are of equal strength and cooperate well.

Gu Shihan saw that they were not dangerous, so he did not join them.

She and Xingbai worked in perfect harmony, and the green eyes were destroyed one by one, turning into pieces of broken wood.

Gu Shihan's mind was not on the plant puppet. His goal was to devour the ghosts. Only by killing the ghosts could he achieve victory.

"Ah... Ouch..." The plant puppets seemed to feel the pain and twisted their bodies. Many of their green eyes overlapped together, and tragic scenes appeared in front of everyone. The various distorted ghost cries made people feel creepy.

Gu Shihan looked at the five people who were somewhat frightened and said, "Don't be afraid. This thing has become a spirit. Close your ears! Everyone be careful! The invisible evil howl is a method used by the Great Devouring Ghost. It gathers sound into a weapon and attacks people's souls. It is hard to defend against!"

Of course, Gu Shihan didn’t know this, all the credit went to Xingbai.

"Junior uncle-master, is there really a giant ghost? Where is it?" Song Huifang asked.

With a few "ding ding" sounds, the sword in Gu Shihan's hand suddenly stabbed in one direction.

The Wood Flame in his left hand followed closely, and with several strikes, only a sharp whistle was heard and no sound remained. "Escaped?"

Several people had been hunting green-eyed monsters for two hours straight, and their hands were a little weak.

Gu Shihan scattered a handful of talismans. His green eyes were no longer bright but dimmed. He felt much less pressure.

"Finally, I can rest in peace. That big ghost is very mysterious and just won't show up. What should I do?" Ling Hai said a little discouraged.

Gu Shihan did not rest. Relying on the light of merit in her body, she vaguely caught a glimpse of a shadow hiding in the crevice of a rock in the distance. That should be the big devouring ghost.

When her eyes met a pair of dark eyes in the air, she couldn't help but squint, and her body reacted at the same time.

The moment their eyes met, the Great Devouring Ghost sensed danger. It screamed and attacked Gu Shihan with an invisible evil roar, while rushing towards an area with lush trees, intending to use the plant puppets to cover its escape.

"Oh my! This human is so scary!"

The giant ghost's perception was extremely sensitive. It knew something was wrong just by making eye contact with Gu Shihan.

In particular, it felt that there was something about Gu Shihan that made it feel scared. Although it didn't know what being scared felt like, its current thought was to run away as far as possible.

"Junior Uncle-Master, come back!" Song Huifang shouted.

"Don't worry about me, just protect yourselves! There are talismans in the storage bag!" Gu Shihan threw down a storage bag full of talismans and chased after the faint shadow.

Gu Shihan shuttled through the bushes, and the plant puppets were turned into ashes in the fire before they could stop him.

The big ghost was running in front and Gu Shihan was chasing behind. The big ghost was very depressed. It never thought that one day it would not be able to control the situation and would be hunted down by a small human monk.

The Great Devouring Ghost looked at the red flame whistling towards him and felt that he had no way to avoid it. But there was no other way to avoid it, so he had to avoid it for the sake of his life?

A virtuous monk, this person must have merits. The Great Devouring Ghosts have heard from their ancestors that their first natural enemy is a virtuous monk, because only a virtuous monk can accurately see their bodies, and... merits are something they cannot touch, and will melt away if touched.

The swaying shadows of the trees were originally their paradise for devouring ghosts, but now they only want to escape.

The female cultivator behind it can see through everything it does, and the plant puppet can no longer help it escape. What should it do?

"Woo woo..." A fierce light flashed in the Great Devouring Ghost's eyes, and it quickly rushed to the black cliff in front of it. There was an existence there that even the Great Devouring Ghost feared, hoping that it could save itself.

The big devouring ghost fell down, and the flame in Gu Shihan's hand caught up with it. Soon the big devouring ghost turned into mist and dissipated, leaving only a sky ghost bead the size of a soybean.

This Tiangui Pearl is more difficult to obtain than the Tianyou Pearl, and its efficacy is much stronger than that of the Tianyou Pearl. After refining it, it can enhance the strength of the soul.

Gu Shihan wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although he was tired, he had gained a lot.

Especially after the Great Devouring Ghost disappeared, many plant puppets returned to normal, without their green eyes.

Gu Shihan looked down at the black cliff. A faint stench of blood floated in the air, and there seemed to be a smell of death and resentment in it.

"Xingbai, how do you feel?" Gu Shihan asked.

"Hanhan, there are monks down there, but they are definitely not good people, you have to be careful."

Before Xing Bai finished his words, several ghostly shadows rushed up from the black cliff and pounced quickly towards Gu Shihan.

Gu Shihan quickly retreated several feet away from the black cliff. His spiritual sense did not sense anyone around him. The red lotus karma fire rushed out of his body, and after ten breaths, only a few Tianyou Pearls were left.

"Hanhan, Xiao Honghong is still awesome. Do we still need to go check out Black Cliff?"

"Go! If there is a cultivator below, then he must have a reason not to take action, otherwise he would not send ghosts and spirits to take action." Gu Shihan drank a few sips of wine and recovered a lot of his spiritual power. Then he flew down slowly on his sword.

Gu Shihan went down the cliff, but she was not reckless. Her body was covered with red lotus fire, and she activated the magic weapon to defend against spiritual attacks.
