◎First Release◎
Before entering the Ghost King Hall, a routine body search was conducted. The two green-faced, fang-toothed ghosts standing at the door jabbed the long spears in their hands into the ground, and the handles of the spears were deeply embedded in the ground.
The intimidating intention of this action was very obvious. Not only were the ordinary humans frightened into a trance, but the escorting ghosts also felt uncomfortable.
They gritted their teeth and persevered, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.
The situation is stronger than people. There are two hundred-year-old evil ghosts guarding the Ghost King's Hall. They have a formal organization and are much higher in rank than these little ghosts who do odd jobs. They cannot be easily provoked.
The escorting ghosts waved their whips and sent all the humans to the gatekeeper ghost.
Yan Yu was not afraid of the body search. With the dual blessing of the SS-level camouflage ring and advanced camouflage skills, let alone these little gatekeeper ghosts, even if the ghost king came, he would not be able to see through her vest.
I just don't know if those three Taoists can escape?
Yan Yu glanced at them vaguely and found that they were all making seals with their hands under the cover of their wide sleeves. After making the seals, they still felt uneasy and stuck a yellow paper talisman on themselves. Then they looked at each other and calmly accepted the body search.
Seeing that they were not unprepared, Yan Yu felt relieved. At least she didn't need to help cover up and arouse the vigilance of the three people.
Although they said they were searching people, the two gatekeeper ghosts did not do it themselves. Instead, they used their ghost sense to scan everyone two or three times.
Yan Yu only felt a cold and sticky breath crawling along her body two or three times. The whole process took a very short time. Soon, the ghost consciousness, which found nothing abnormal, left.
Next came the three Taoists. This time the ghost consciousness stayed a little longer, sweeping back and forth over their bodies four or five times, causing cold sweat to break out on the foreheads of the three of them. They held the talismans and weapons tightly in their hands, fearing that anything would go wrong at this moment.
Noticing that the two gatekeeper ghosts frowned slightly, Yan Yu's heart skipped a beat. He immediately put on an SSS-level illusion hat and cast some illusions on the two ghosts' consciousness, making them think that their perception was wrong.
The two were affected by the illusion and relaxed their brows: "Alright, take the people in. Remember, no looking around or running around, otherwise you will die!"
The gatekeeper ghost spoke to the escorting ghosts, and while speaking he made a "click" gesture in front of his neck.
The King of Ghosts has always been cruel and capricious. The escorting ghosts of course knew what the two big ghosts meant, and they hurriedly nodded in agreement and responded "yes".
The escorting ghost leader said: "Don't worry, sir. We have sent several waves of snacks to the ghost king. We know the rules."
The Lord Ghost King is not in the palace at the moment, so the escorting ghosts took the humans directly to the dungeon and locked them all up, waiting for the Lord Ghost King to come back and enjoy them.
Yan Yu had also heard the three Taoists mention this matter vaguely. It seemed that several old Taoist masters temporarily delayed the Ghost King and then sent them to steal things.
Sure enough, before being locked up in the dungeon, the three of them used substitute talismans to replace themselves, and then pasted invisibility talismans that could hide their aura on themselves and quietly ran out.
These talismans are all A-level talismans and are disposable props with a limited usage period. They must hurry to find the Ghost King's treasure house, steal the Ghost King's seal and then escape!
Seeing the three invisible men running farther and farther away, Yan Yu sighed secretly. Their idea was good, but those A-level talismans were obviously not powerful enough and could only last for half an hour at most.
What they didn't notice was that the Ghost King's dungeon was no ordinary place. The Taoist energy on the substitute talisman was being consumed at an increasingly rapid rate, and in the end, it might not even last ten minutes.
Ten minutes, what can you do?
Once the substitute talisman is discovered, the remaining human NPCs will definitely be in trouble.
“Tsk.”
In order to avoid his plan of robbing the rich and helping the poor from being disrupted prematurely, Yan Yu had no choice but to hold his nose and clean up the mess for the three reckless Taoist priests.
The clones of the immortal-level clone belt and the SSS-level illusion were arranged. Fearing that something might go wrong in the middle, Yan Yu specially equipped the clones with the SSS-level Fire God Sword to deal with crises and the SSS-level Radiant Bracelet to protect human NPCs. At the same time, he took out an SS-level space shield, just in case.
After everything was arranged, Yan Yu hid his body and followed the three Taoists.
These three Taoists were quite capable. They turned left and right in the Ghost King's Hall with a compass, and finally avoided the patrolling ghost guards and successfully entered the Ghost King's bedroom. Then, in an extremely hidden corner, they used a dozen red-gold stones the size of little finger joints to form a formation.
The moment the formation was activated, the light suddenly became very bright, almost blinding people.
Yan Yu was worried about them, fearing that the light would attract ghosts. Fortunately, the light was only a flash, and where the wall had originally been, a strange door two people tall suddenly appeared!
The gate was bloody red all over, like blood that was constantly flowing. After it was revealed, bubbles began to rise from the blood, and then a huge bloody eye opened from it.
The three Taoists obviously didn't expect that there was a monster guarding the treasure here, and their faces suddenly became extremely ugly.
When the giant eye saw who was coming, it let out a sharp scream: "Who are you! Come here, someone is breaking in - Puff!"
The most accomplished Taoist among them reacted the fastest. Holding an SS-grade peach wood sword made of thunder-struck wood, he stabbed it deep into his eyeball. "Hurry up and go in and find the thing. I can only hold you for five minutes!"
This eyeball is not an ordinary thing at all, but was created by the Ghost King using his own ghost energy and great effort. The strength of the eyeball is extremely terrifying, only slightly lower than that of the Ghost King himself.
Otherwise, the Ghost King would not have left alone and left his huge treasure house in the palace.
As soon as the house was robbed, the Ghost King, who was fighting fiercely with several old Taoist priests, noticed something unusual. The attacks of his men became more and more fierce, and he actually forced several people to retreat two steps.
"You damned bunch of stinking Taoist priests! You call yourselves a reputable and upright sect, yet you actually commit such petty thefts behind the scenes!"
Upon hearing this, the old Taoists knew that the three Xiao Xuans they sent out had already found the location of the Ghost King's treasure house, otherwise the other party would not be so angry.
Several people looked at each other and threw the talismans on their bodies out desperately, just to delay the Ghost King who wanted to escape for a while and create more time for their disciples.
"A rebellious and tyrannical person like you is free to be punished by anyone, no matter the method."
It's not like they have holes in their brains to talk about morality with the ghost king who has no moral bottom line.
The Ghost King could see through their thoughts and sneered, "Haha, my treasure land is one that allows entry but not exit. Without a spatial magic weapon of SSS rank or above, they can't get out!"
"Your sect declined long before the revival of spiritual energy, and the magic weapons passed down by your ancestors have been almost completely used up in the past three years. I don't believe those three little Taoists have any magic weapons above SS level, let alone the extremely rare SSS-level space equipment!"
The Ghost King revealed all the predicaments of the Taoist sect in just a few words, and the old Taoists were horrified.
Just as the Ghost King said, their Taoist sect really can't even produce a few decent SS-level magic weapons now, let alone SSS-level ones.
Even when dealing with the Ghost King, most of them just desperately consumed their own Dao Yuan to hold on.
The Ghost King had a sinister expression on his face: "In that case, I will kill you first, and then go back to deal with those little rats!"
Before the Ghost King finished speaking, the two sides started fighting again, using various attack methods frequently, which made the heaven and earth change color.
But even an outsider could see the Taoists' disadvantages. The ghostly aura was so eerie that it covered the sky and the sun, as if it was going to devour them all in the next second.
Several people tried their best but still couldn't break out.
It seems that the Ghost King is determined to kill them today.
They looked sad, with only one thought in their hearts, which was to injure the Ghost King even at the cost of self-destruction, causing its cultivation to drop by one or two levels, so as to buy humanity a last breathing time.
Let me explain this in two different ways.
Yan Yu had just flashed and followed Xiao Xuan and the others into the treasury when the door suddenly slammed shut behind her without any warning, leaving no gap at all.
Xiao Xuan's face changed drastically: "Oh no, we've fallen into a trap!"
The Taoist priest next to him was more experienced, Sheng Xiaoxuan. He returned to the front of the gate and lightly touched the wall where the original gate was now with his natal array plate.
A lot of black runes immediately appeared on the wall, like coiled poisonous snakes, biting fiercely at the formation plate in the Taoist's hand. The Taoist seemed to be electrocuted, and took a step back suddenly. He knelt on one knee on the ground, and barely supported his body with the peach wood sword in his other hand, and then "pu" spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xiao Xuan hurried forward to support the other person: "Brother, are you okay?"
The senior brother paused for a while before shaking his head, indicating that he was not in serious trouble.
"This must be a formation set up by the Ghost King. Once anyone other than him enters, the entire treasure house will be completely locked, and no one will be allowed to leave. We can only wait for the owner to come back and catch him in the trap."
"Then what should we do?" Xiao Xuan's eyes were full of panic.
Senior Brother: "For Ling's sake, let's find the Ghost King Seal first. I still have two shuttle talismans in my hand. I'll try to see if I can use them later."
Having said that, the senior brother did not have much expectations for the two A-level shuttle talismans.
Xiao Xuan and his senior brother finally started looking for the Ghost King Seal, while Yan Yu had already emptied out at least 1/3 of the Ghost King's wealth.
Ever since entering the treasure house, Yan Yu was like a mouse that fell into a rice jar, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
She kept muttering in her mind, "Oh, this one's good, that one's good too, let's take them. Hey, these are exactly the materials for forging an SS-level Soul Devouring Whip! Take them all!"
Yan Yu avoided the sight of the two Taoists, and his spiritual consciousness penetrated the treasure chests piled up like mountains, and then began his journey of teleportation.
Some treasure chests were still there, but they were empty. Some were even transferred by Yan Yu to his storage ring along with the chests.
"I can't finish it. I can't finish it at all."
Yan Yu's storage ring only has 3,500 cubic meters, plus a lot of supplies stored from various copies, the remaining space is only about 2,000 cubic meters. It is really a bit difficult to completely eat up the Ghost King's treasure.
Therefore, she had no choice but to pick out valuable things above S-level and put them into the ring, especially the high-level equipment blueprints and materials that she needed most, as well as special equipment such as various ghost weapons and magic weapons.
Yan Yu's eyes curved into small crescents. "As expected of a thousand-year-old ghost, he's truly wealthy. I wonder if the rich ghost's treasure house will be refreshed after I clear this Spiritual Energy Revival dungeon?"
If it could be refreshed every time she entered a dungeon, she would make a fortune!
Entering a dungeon is just like purchasing goods, it’s so exciting just thinking about it.
The core of this copy is really a good thing. In the highway survival copy, you can use points to exchange for a large number of SS-level and SSS-level materials that are not available in the floating world. This spiritual energy revival copy can infinitely brush the treasure house of the Ghost King. You can take as much as you want!
The only thing she is not satisfied with now is that the space in the storage ring is too small and totally not enough.
It would be nice to have a blueprint for high-level storage space equipment.
In fact, low-level things are of little use to her, and even if they are placed in the space, they will just take up space.
After she got out of the dungeon, she also needed to sort out the things in her storage ring, selling what needed to be sold and giving away what needed to be given away, so as to make some space.
Yan Yu filled the storage space to the brim, and the two Taoists finally found the Ghost King Seal they needed, and also collected some talismans, magic tools, spells and the like that they could use.
The senior brother then took out two shuttle talismans, trying to see if he could break through the restrictions set by the Ghost King and leave.
Yan Yu raised her eyelids and knew that the two talismans were useless, but she had an SSS-level Xutian robe. The first special effect of the robe was to break the air - step on the void and shatter it. It could travel through space at will (can carry up to 5 people) three times, and the cooling time was 10 hours.
At the moment when his senior brother activated the shuttle talisman, Yan Yu activated the air-breaking special effect, passed through the Ghost King's restriction, and directly brought the two of them back to the door.
The senior brothers were all stunned, but Xiao Xuan next to them was unaware of this. Instead, he quickly took out a peach wood sword to help another senior brother who stayed outside to fight against the treasure-guarding monster.
"Brother Qingsong, what are you still standing there for? Come and help Brother Qingze fight the monsters!"
"Oh, I'll be right there."
The three Taoists faced the treasure-guarding monster, but the monster was not at a disadvantage at all. It almost suppressed them in the fight, roaring angrily as it beat them: "You damn thieves, how dare you steal so many treasures from the Ghost King! Die!"
Qingsong and Xiaoxiang, who didn’t take many things at all:…?
Touching the bulging storage ring, Yan Yu showed no sign of guilt:)
The treasure-guarding monster was extremely furious and beat the three enemies in front of it as hard as he could. Yan Yu frequently helped secretly, and the treasure-guarding monster really beat the three people to death.
They are still useful, so their lives must be saved.
Yan Yu divided his spiritual consciousness into three parts. One part was used to attack the treasure-guarding monster and quickly consume its energy. The second part went to assist his clone and took everyone to escape from the dungeon together. The last part ran around in the hall, beating up any ghosts he met, creating large-scale chaos to facilitate people's escape.
"Oh, right, how could I forget about it?" Yan Yu suddenly slapped his forehead, with a strange look in his eyes.
