Chapter 134

"roar!

Cheng Hui swore that he was not gloating, at most he was feeling the pleasure of a victim seeing the perpetrator get his comeuppance.

"roar!"

A huge beast roar came from the distance, and the sound contained extreme anger.

Cheng Hui sighed, wondering how those unlucky guys had offended him. Just by the sound of their voices, he knew they were not easy to deal with.

At this time on the island, several ghosts were besieging a rhinoceros as big as a hill.

On the ground, a scattered campfire ignited a large amount of weeds, and three blurry black shadows kept making painful noises.

The rhino monster's eyes were bloodshot as it stared at one of the tallest ghost cultivators. In his arms was a dark green plant with five red fruits on the top.

The five fruits were only the size of a thumb, round and cute, but they exuded a strong smell of blood.

If you look closely, you will find that the fruit is not originally red, but is covered with a layer of blood. At this time, the blood is slowly being absorbed by the fruit, and the originally pure fruit begins to emit an evil feeling.

"Roar!" The rhinoceros monster let out a high-pitched roar, and the sharp horn on its nose flashed an ominous black light.

"Oh no! It's going to self-destruct!" The tall ghost cultivator sensed something was wrong and his body suddenly turned into a puff of green smoke and flew away at an incredible speed.

The battle situation, which was only barely holding on, completely collapsed due to his departure. The rhino monster's self-explosion directly reduced the surrounding area to ashes.

After a long while, the tall ghost cultivator reappeared from a distance. He had a gloomy and defiant expression on his face, still holding the spiritual plant in his hand. He looked around and closed his eyes to feel it. He found that all the ghosts he controlled were dead, and he was very angry.

"A bunch of trash!" he cursed angrily, "Fortunately, I didn't return empty-handed this time." He looked at the spiritual plant in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

Wuyun Grass is a rare spiritual plant, but the spiritual energy contained in it is not suitable for ghost cultivators.

Fortunately, over the years, in addition to exchanging them with spiritual practitioners, ghost practitioners have also invented many methods to utilize various spiritual plants.

For example... you can kill a monster, and then use its resentful blood to irrigate spiritual plants. In this way, when the spiritual plants absorb enough resentful blood, they will be transformed into evil creatures suitable for ghost cultivators. This kind of evil creature is a great tonic for some special ghost cultivators.

The tall ghost cultivator used this method, but he didn't expect that his luck was so bad. The little rhino monster he caught actually had a mother whose cultivation level was comparable to that of the Golden Core Stage, which resulted in this battle.

"What bad luck!" The tall ghost cultivator pouted.

He took out a gray bead from his pocket, made a hand gesture, and a dim figure floated out of the bead.

"What else do you want to do... I've already told you everything I know." The figure looked haggard, and his whole body exuded a sense of emptiness, as if he would disappear in the next second.

If Cheng Hui were here, he would find that this ghost that could disappear at any time was actually someone he knew... no, a familiar ghost.

That long-necked ghost!

"Stop talking nonsense. Are there any special treasures around here?" the tall ghost cultivator shouted.

The long-necked ghost pleaded weakly, "I've already told you everything I know. Please let me go."

The tall ghost cultivator narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you saying you are useless?"

"No, no..." The long-necked ghost shook his head in fear: "I... I'm still useful." He racked his brains to think about the experience after he accidentally entered this place. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, "I, I remember, I remember there was a strange place. I clearly felt that there were good things in it, but I couldn't get in no matter what!"

"Oh?" The tall ghost cultivator was secretly delighted: "Where is it?"

"In..." The long-necked ghost hurriedly shared his memories with the tall ghost cultivator. The tall ghost cultivator made a quick distinction and found that the place was not too far from here, so he nodded with satisfaction.

"Sir... can I, can I leave now?" the long-necked ghost asked cautiously. "I've said everything I can remember."

The tall ghost cultivator took one look at him and felt murderous.

The long-necked ghost felt the other party's murderous intent and almost peed his pants.

Fortunately, the other party didn't kill him immediately for some reason. Instead, he sealed him back into the bead and took out another bead. He swallowed the bead into his mouth, and his body shape began to change slowly. Soon, he changed from a tall man into a charming woman.

She uttered a few words casually, her voice still rough, but as she spoke more and more, her voice became softer and softer. When she completely completed the transformation, she looked like a beautiful female ghost.

The ghost girl looked at the spiritual plant in her hand, feeling slightly distressed. The only downside to this method of transforming spiritual plants into evil spirits was that during the transformation process, the spiritual plants had to be exposed to the outside world, so they couldn't be placed in the storage space.

But this thing looks very precious. If you hold it in your hand like this, it would be like holding a gold brick in a busy market. Aren’t you afraid that others will come to snatch it?

It was she who set the trap at the door. When the formation was triggered, she, as the owner, naturally felt it. Although she believed that the trap she set should be able to deal with those who came later, she did not want to take the risk, so she changed her body shape specifically.

The female ghost thought about it, and suddenly had an idea. She inserted the Five Elements Grass on her head, using it as a unique hairpin, and then used her own breath to cover it up. If you don't look carefully, you might not be able to find any clues.

The female ghost smiled slightly and walked towards the seaside. Her steps were very heroic at first, but as she walked, they became light lotus steps. When she reached the seaside, she took out a small boat from her pocket and threw it over. The boat suddenly became bigger, and she jumped on it lightly. She pinched a spell and sailed in the direction of the long-necked ghost's memory.

Cheng Hui didn't know what kind of experience he was about to encounter, and at this moment he was facing a storm.

His canoe was like a leaf in the storm, drifting on the water. The sky was covered with dark clouds and the torrential rain gave him no chance to breathe. He couldn't even tell the direction. The only thing he could do was to try his best to prevent the boat from capsizing in the heavy rain.

"Oh my god... that big wave just now was so dangerous. I was scared to death. I thought the boat was going to capsize." Cheng Hui patted his chest and still couldn't help feeling scared.

As an inland person, he had been to the seaside, but had never seen such huge waves.

Although I have seen it in disaster movies, only by being there can you experience the horror of huge waves as high as several stories high, covering the sky and the sun, and destroying the world.

"Hehe, this little wave is nothing. I'll take you for a stroll around the Dragon Sea Realm if I get a chance. The sea creatures and cultivators there are fighting all year round. When the two sides are fighting, don't just look at these little waves. There might even be a tsunami that can destroy a city and a clan with one strike. That's truly astonishing." Uncle Gui boasted proudly.

"Is it really that powerful?" Cheng Hui glanced at him.

"Hmph, kid, you'll know when you go and see it." Uncle Gui sneered disdainfully: "I'm telling you, this Xuanheng Realm is just a small place. Apart from some local specialties, there's nothing worth mentioning. Otherwise, do you think it would be so peaceful here?"

Cheng Hui was stunned for a moment. His knowledge of the world was not very high. After all, people can only access information at a certain level. For a young cultivator like him who hadn't even reached the Golden Core stage, what good would it do even if he knew that the world was very big?

Is it really possible to go out and take a look?

"Okay, stay focused, we're almost there. After we pass this dangerous area, our destination is just ahead."

Cheng Hui looked up and saw that there were still dark clouds above him. The bean-sized raindrops hitting his face hurt a little, but in the distance he could already see a ray of light coming through the dark clouds. A little further away, the sky was clear and the orange-red light was bright and gentle, and the outline of a small island was faintly visible.

* * *

When Cheng Hui landed on the island, some people were struggling in the storm.

"Damn it, what's going on?" The originally cute female ghost had now become a drowned chicken. Her expression was ferocious, and she roared angrily at the long-necked ghost in the heavy rain.

"I...I don't know either." The long-necked ghost said in horror, "I...I didn't...I didn't encounter anything like this when I came in."

"Waste!" The female ghost was furious and wanted to pull out the tendons and skin the long-necked ghost.

Her big ship was smashed to pieces by a bolt of lightning as soon as it entered the storm area. If she hadn't run fast, she would have been affected too.

Unfortunately, the long-necked ghost had never mentioned such a thing before, so she was caught off guard and lost her most reliable tool, so she could only rely on a broken wooden board to float on the water.

Speaking of which, this special secret realm is indeed very puzzling. When he was on the island, any spell could be used normally, but on the water, he, a ghost cultivator in the Jindan stage, could not even float and could only rely on wooden boards to survive.

"Go away!" The female ghost put the bead containing the long-necked ghost back to its original place in annoyance. Looking at the dark sky, she became more and more irritated.

Oddly enough, when she was on the big ship, the violent storm almost drowned her, and the lightning strike directly sank the ship. But when she was floating holding onto the wooden board, although the wind and waves did not weaken, the damage to her was less.

The female ghost seemed to be thinking about something. She called the long-necked ghost and asked him the direction of the treasure.

The long-necked ghost is very weak, but has special talents and still finds its way in this storm.

The female ghost held the wooden board and swam towards that side with all her might.

"Is this the place you were talking about?"

After Cheng Hui came ashore, he realized that this island was very special.

"Well, this is the good place I picked out after careful selection." Uncle Gui looked at the island with a dazed expression, wondering what he was thinking about.

The island is not very big and you can almost see the bottom at a glance. The only thing worth paying attention to on the entire island is the small stone tower in the center of the island.

The stone tower is only three stories high, and there is a dark entrance on the bottom floor.

Cheng Hui walked around the stone tower and suddenly felt a little worried.

This stone tower doesn't even have any basic protection. According to Uncle Gui, he will have to stay there for a long time after entering. If someone with bad intentions comes, wouldn't he be in great danger?

"Um?"

At this moment, Uncle Gui suddenly looked towards the coast vigilantly, his brows slightly furrowed.

"What's wrong?"

Uncle Gui said with a sullen face: "Someone is coming."

Cheng Hui: ...

Someone? Who could it be?
