"This is called Netherfire Stone Ghost. It's a strangely shaped object. Don't be fooled by its stone-like appearance; it can emit incredibly powerful Netherfire."
Manager Hu stood in front of the projector, pointing to a green stone the size of a basketball on the image, and explained it to Xia Tianqiong.
"This kind of eerie fire is inextinguishable by water or soil. It has an extremely strong burning effect on both monsters and humans. Any monster whose level is not higher than its will almost certainly die if it comes into contact with it. If you choose it, you will immediately and greatly increase your strength."
Summer Qiong urgently needs offensive trickery, and this fits the bill perfectly.
However, you should listen to the next two options before deciding which one to choose.
"This is the Nightwalker, a humanoid monster. It possesses two tricks: 'Night Swiftness' and 'Death Mark'. Night Swiftness allows you to run at sonic speed at night without making a sound."
The Death Mark leaves a unique mark on the target, ensuring a major accident will occur within three days. If you aspire to be a nighttime assassin, this Night Stalker is the perfect choice.
Manager Hu explained enthusiastically, and Xia Tianqiong nodded.
This strange thing is also very interesting; it's perfect for assassinations and causing trouble.
However, he has Shadow Teleportation, so these two tricks are not very effective against him.
"The last one is the Infant Tree Ghost. It has a strange plant shape. It does not possess any trickery skills, but it can grow fruits that look like babies, called 'Infant Fruit'."
If consumed by a supernatural being, it can quickly restore its damaged form and replenish its Netherworld power. If consumed by a human, it can bring the dead back to life and heal flesh and bones.
Even if most of the body is missing, as long as the soul remains and the head is still intact, this fruit can revive the person. For safety's sake, I recommend you choose the Infant Tree Ghost.
The last strange thing Manager Hu mentioned was quite unique.
From a distance, it looks like a small tree, not very tall, but up close it looks like a woman with a tree crown on her head.
Xia Tianqiong was also very interested in this strange phenomenon.
The Infant Fruit is simply a miraculous elixir, capable of bringing the dead back to life, so that one need not fear even the most severe injuries in the future.
What's most needed right now is offensive trickery, and Ghostfire Stone Trick is more suitable for the current situation.
Which one should I choose?
After a moment's thought, Xia Tianqiong made a decision.
There are many strange creatures with offensive tricks, and I'll have plenty of opportunities to catch one myself in the future. However, the Infant Tree Strange creature, a special plant-shaped strange creature, is very rare.
With this comparison, you'll naturally know which one to choose.
"I choose the Infant Tree Ghost."
"Okay, I'll go get it for you."
Manager Hu left briefly and returned a moment later with a piece of animal hide. "This is the life-and-death contract of the Infant Tree Demon. You can directly enter into a contract, whether it's an equal contract or a human-master contract, it's all up to you, and it can't refuse."
The animal skin scroll was unfurled, revealing an image of the Infant Tree Ghost printed on it. Most amazingly, it was moving inside.
Xia Tianqiong asked in surprise, "It's in the animal skin scroll?"
"To be precise, it's sealed inside. This animal hide is similar to your mirror space, with its own internal space, only it's very small."
"That's pretty amazing."
Xia Tianqiong had never heard of such a thing in her previous life. It seems that there are still many unknown things in the Ghost Realm. She should explore it properly when she has the chance in the future.
The next step is to sign the contract.
Under Manager Hu's guidance, Xia Tianqiong held the animal skin scroll in his hand and silently recited the "Human Lord Contract". The animal skin scroll immediately burst into flames, the seal was broken, and the Infant Tree Ghost instantly appeared on the spot.
It is only a little over a meter tall, with a crown that resembles a large parasol, about two or three meters in radius, covered with dark blue leaves that are dense and opaque.
The grayish-white tree trunk is twisted, with some parts protruding and others sunken.
Xia Tianqiong stood aside, looking her over. No matter how she looked at it, it resembled a woman's body.
"Is this really a tree? Or could it be a person who turned into one?"
"It's possible that some plant-shaped monsters are actually human-shaped monsters, and vice versa."
Manager Hu explained from the side, "If you feed the Infant Tree Ghost with Nether Gold, Ghostly Things, or Human Flesh and Blood, it will grow Infant Fruit."
"Okay, I understand."
Xia Tianqiong put the Infant Tree Ghost into the Mirror Space, chatted with Manager Hu for a long time, and then left the Ghost Mansion Bank with a large number of free gifts.
Before leaving, Manager Hu suddenly gave him a leaf from some kind of plant.
“Mr. Xia, this is a small personal gift for you. Wearing it with you will help mask your own scent so that you won’t be targeted by anything with a keen sense of smell.”
Xia Tianqiong sensed a hidden meaning in its words, "What do you mean? Who would be looking for me?"
Manager Hu leaned closer and whispered, "Liu Changming is also going to descend to your human realm soon, and I suspect it might be eyeing you. This leaf can mask your scent, making it impossible for it to find you."
"That human-headed dog?" Xia Tianqiong was slightly taken aback. "What level is it?"
"It's a malevolent-level creature, very powerful. If it attacks you, you might not even have a chance to teleport here, so try to avoid it if you can."
For Manager Hu, Xia Tianqiong was a major client, and more importantly, he was generous, making him even more important than the human-headed dog. He didn't want anything to happen to Xia Tianqiong.
"Thank you for the reminder, Manager Hu."
Xia Tianqiong casually took out fifty taels of underworld gold and gave it to Manager Hu as a reward.
Manager Hu immediately beamed with joy and offered to provide detailed information about the "human head dog".
Xia Tianqiong thanked her again, then took the gold ticket and used the teleportation function.
With a thought, the scene before him suddenly changed, and he returned to Starry Night Square, to the same spot as before.
You enter the Ghost Bank from the same place and you come out from the same place.
Looking around, the dark clouds had disappeared, indicating that the Ghost Bank had clearly left.
The sky is clear and the air is fresh, the sunlight is warm and gentle; today is a perfect day for going out.
