The sun was shining brightly, but it had trouble penetrating the thick fog.
This is Wushan in Fengdu County. Because it borders the ghost tribe, it is often rainy and foggy all year round.
But as long as you cross this mountain, the next place is Longxian Town, the mountain city gateway of Fengdu County.
Although it is a small town, it is a large city of the human race. It was a transit point for the battle against the first fortress of the ghost clan, the mountain city, decades ago.
This is the destination of the convoy.
There is a winding road at the foot of the mountain. A convoy of seven or eight trucks and jeeps is heading towards the mountain city outside the fog.
"It's estimated that we'll be out of Wushan in half a day's journey."
In the last truck in the convoy that was pulling motorcycles, after closing the window, Feng Da, who had roughly determined the direction, showed a rare relaxed expression.
After leaving Wushan, the road is flat and leads directly to the mountain city, without any danger.
This is a happy thing for everyone.
Unfortunately, Chu You, who was immersed in the world in his mind and was madly educating the sword spirit, didn't hear it at all.
"Food, sex, and nature are all human nature. After all, that woman is indeed beautiful, I don't deny that, but you are a sword spirit, a sword spirit, okay!
"Whether she's beautiful or not has nothing to do with you. If you say she's also a spirit and good-looking, I'd believe it..."
"With you being like this, I originally wanted to get you to integrate the Sword Art Online system, which was just beginning to take shape. But now I think you're still not steady enough and haven't even learned to be low-key. Better wait a little longer..."
Before he could finish his words, the sword spirit started to cry out strangely:
"Ah~ No, no, no... Master! I know I was wrong, and I won't act impulsively next time. I'm still waiting to inherit the system, get closer to the will of the Earth, and reach the pinnacle of my spiritual body. This is what I'm pursuing...
"It's all because that woman is so attractive. I've fallen in love with her unconsciously. There must be some kind of spirit that attracts me to her, otherwise why would she be so out of control? Hmm! It must be so. The master must have felt it too..."
…
I don’t know if the man and the sword here felt anything, but Feng Da in the carriage and Wei Feiming, who was on guard, seemed to have a sense of mutual understanding.
"Wow~ It turns out Uncle Feng is a member of the Fengdu County Ghost Research Institute. No wonder he's so calm when he sees ghosts."
In fact, in this carriage, besides them, there were Zuo Cheng and Shen Wanqing who were meditating and practicing.
Because of the sudden ghost fire energy, with their strength as ninth-level warriors, they either had to go into seclusion immediately to absorb it, or refine a little bit every day.
In the current environment, it is of course the latter.
That's why Wei Feiming was left alone to keep watch, while the other two focused on their training and would take over later.
A day had passed since the encounter with the ghost tribe. Thanks to the protection of the academy, the convoy did not suffer any substantial damage except for being too frightened.
…
"But then again, why didn't Lord Song come with you? That way, there would be no need to keep anyone on guard. You can practice at the same time and strive for a breakthrough as soon as possible." As expected, after they became familiar with each other, Feng Da was no longer afraid of talking too much.
Wei Feiming didn't mind. Looking at the three people who were practicing with their eyes closed, he felt a little depressed:
"That's right! Master Song is really something. Now that he has revealed himself, he is still hiding in the dark. Isn't this just like trying to cover up one's own faults...
"Ouch~ Who hit me?"
Touching his head and crying, Wei Feiming looked around the carriage in confusion, but there were several people in the carriage who hadn't even moved. Who would give him a slap in the face?
"See! It's all your fault. That woman is getting closer."
Who else could it be? Of course, it was Song Xinyan who educated him in secret, and Chu You also woke up from the sword spirit education. Because he had been communicating with Xiaoben, she would be suspicious.
"Hey~ Mr. Fengda, there's no outsider here. Tell me the truth, were those ghosts coming for you that night?"
This is a diversion of attention, and of course it also reflects Chu You's doubts. He doesn't want the task to be too complicated.
As expected, as soon as these words were spoken, not only did the person hiding on the roof of the car restrain his breath, but even the atmosphere in the car became tense.
Wei Feiming was surprised, but of course the most surprised, or rather the most troubled, was Feng Da.
He glanced at Chu You, who was serious and didn't seem to be pretending, and thought about it, his brows slowly lowered:
"Ah... Actually... How should I put it... I didn't mean to hide it."
Sure enough, there was a hidden story. No wonder we encountered the ghost tribe just after leaving Hushan Town. This time, even the two people who were practicing had to open their eyes to look.
Since it was said, Feng Da told everything. After all, he needed several people to take care of him along the way, and who knew if there was any danger waiting for him.
"I'm sure you all know about the Ghost Research Institute in Fengdu County. It's divided into two types: ordinary research institutes and monk research institutes, with different divisions of labor. Ordinary people like me can only do low-level ghost research, which is the basic situation of the ghosts that everyone knows.
"As for the research of cultivators, it mainly focuses on how the supernatural powers of the ghost race can be applied to martial arts, especially those above the level of transformation. For example, the white ghost fire in your hands is one of the research results.
"But not long ago, when I was studying the characteristics and weaknesses of low-level ghosts possessing ordinary people, I discovered something special..."
"special?"
Wei Feiming couldn't figure out what this had to do with the ghosts chasing him. After all, they were just low-level ghosts without intelligence. Even if they discovered their fatal weakness, they wouldn't attract three ghosts to attack them!
Not to mention, how could this information be leaked?
But Chu You had a vague bad guess, because he was the only one who knew that Feng Da had some skills, although he was only a first-level warrior.
Noticing Chu You's gaze, Feng Da nodded:
"Yes! The special thing is that as long as someone with strong Qi and blood is possessed by a wandering spirit, they can use the daylight equipment that restrains ghosts to drive away the resentment. With strong willpower, they can visualize their Dantian and compress the ghost fire. This can make an ordinary person with no foundation - promoted to a warrior!"
