Almost at the same instant Li Yu was about to launch his attack, the woman in white instantly sensed Li Yu's intention, and its head suddenly turned 180 degrees.

"ah--"

A sharp, piercing scream came from the woman's mouth, sending chills down one's spine.

The white figure pounced on Li Yu like lightning.

Just as the armor-piercing arrow was fired.

The Nightmare Beast on the crossbow suddenly glared, its eyes flashing with a chilling light!

The white-clad woman who was rushing towards them seemed to be frozen in mid-air, unable to move.

Even its originally blurry and ethereal shape became crystal clear in that fleeting moment, no longer in its elusive state.

The arrow, which should have pierced the white-clad woman's body without any obstruction, now seemed to have struck a real object.

A loud "bang!"

The woman in white who was hit exploded instantly, turning into a strange white mist that spread rapidly.

Suddenly, an incredibly strong suction force came from Li Yu's crossbow.

This suction force was like an invisible hand, tightly grasping the scattered white mist and pulling it back at lightning speed.

In the blink of an eye, all the white mist surged toward the crossbow like a tide, and was continuously swallowed and absorbed by the eye on it.

In the end, all the white mist was absorbed and gathered in the Nightmare Beast's eyes, disappearing without a trace.

The refugees behind him, who were already preparing to run away, widened their eyes in disbelief.

What did I see?

"Did the Alliance Leader just kill the monster?"

"Absolutely right, it's a terrifying white-clad fiend."

"My God! Our leader can even kill demons and monsters!"

The refugees were so excited that their faces turned red, and their bodies trembled slightly with excitement.

After witnessing Li Yu kill the strange creature, the refugees completely believed Ma Yuanbai's previous words from the bottom of their hearts.

Alliance Leader Li Yu is the world's strongest archer! No one can withstand this arrow.

At this moment, all the refugees' doubts and hesitations vanished.

Because not even humans, let alone monsters, could withstand Li Yu's arrow.

The refugees looked at Li Yu with deep awe and fervent worship, gaining a completely new understanding of the alliance leader's strength.

Li Yu saw the eerie white mist that eventually got absorbed by the eyes on the crossbow.

He immediately guessed that this must be related to the Nightmare Beast.

Recalling the transparent form of the woman in white that he had just seen, Li Yu even suspected that it had a different spatial dimension.

But Li Yu knew in his heart that if even raindrops couldn't fall on the white figure, then his arrows couldn't either.

And it is absolutely impossible for him to kill a strange, intangible thing with a single arrow.

The Nightmare Beast that just absorbed that white mist must know something.

Li Yu immediately lifted the shield against the Nightmare Beast and inquired in his mental sea:

What did you do?

"Hmph, I was just helping you out with a small favor." The Nightmare Beast's voice came, carrying a hint of arrogance.

Although it felt extremely satisfied after absorbing the white mist, and its own strength was also restored.

However, fearing that Li Yu would notice, it still tried its best to suppress its inner joy and not let its emotions show.

Li Yu's eyes flickered, and she deliberately pressed on, "Wraiths have no physical form and are invincible, so how can you possibly help them?"

"Hahaha..." The Nightmare Beast suddenly burst into laughter:

"Invincible? That's hilarious, it's just physical immunity."

The Nightmare Beast's voice echoed in Li Yu's mind, its tone filled with disdain for the woman in white.

"Physical immunity?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yu was startled and immediately continued to ask in her mental sea:

How did you know?

"Of course I know," the Nightmare Beast's voice rang out again, sounding utterly confident.

"Because I originally belonged to this type of creature."

"Could it be that it really is something strange?" Li Yu's tone revealed his surprise.

"It's not really weird; it's more like a ghost."

The Nightmare Beast responded casually, its tone tinged with disdain.

"But I am different!"

The Nightmare Beast suddenly perked up and excitedly introduced itself to Li Yu.

"Our race is the most powerful among the wraiths. Through continuous evolution, we have surpassed all wraiths and gained real bodies!"

"I am the best of all Nightmare Beasts, a genius among geniuses! I..."

The sound stopped abruptly.

Li Yu couldn't listen to it anymore and blocked the Nightmare Beast's voice again.

However, he also learned that the eerie white figure was called a ghost.

Li Yu silently memorized the name.

Although Li Yu blocked its sound, the Nightmare Beast showed no struggle or dissatisfaction this time, behaving extremely abnormally.

At this moment, it seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, showing no sign of resistance whatsoever.

It just successfully fooled Li Yu.

The Nightmare Beast's consciousness floated in Li Yu's mental sea, and even though it tried everything it could, it could not cause any harm to Li Yu with its curse.

It seemed to be imprisoned by that crossbow, unable to break free.

As the white mist was completely absorbed by the Nightmare Beast, and after it had completely devoured the ghost, a sliver of white appeared beneath its giant black eyes, making it look even more eerie and terrifying.

The Nightmare Beast suppressed its extreme excitement, thinking to itself, 'These days won't last much longer.'

Li Yu slowly opened her eyes and put away her crossbow.

Ma Yuanbai only came to his senses after the white-clad woman's figure had completely disappeared.

He looked at Li Yu, an expression of disbelief on his face:

"Li Yu, how...how did you do that?"

"Just luck," Li Yu replied calmly, her expression returning to normal.

He didn't reveal much, after all, he himself didn't yet understand what a ghost was.

But Ma Yuanbai was clearly not buying it. He curled his lip and looked back at the refugees behind him, whose eyes were filled with eagerness and excitement.

Upon seeing this, Ma Yuanbai suddenly revealed a subtle smile, as if a brand new idea had instantly sprouted in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, without hesitation, he turned around, faced the refugees behind him, and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Alliance Leader Li Yuli isn't powerful!"

"Amazing!" the refugees responded in unison.

Ma Yuanbai nodded in satisfaction, then pressed on while the iron was hot and asked:

"Was what I said before right or wrong!"

"Yes!" the crowd shouted in unison, their expressions excited.

Ma Yuanbai suddenly waved his hand and shouted, "Now, let's all shout out our slogans!"

"Loyalty! Loyalty! Loyalty!"
