Chapter 129 Madness and Chaos
Rong Yi ignored the gray word's expectations. There were over 60,000 of them, enough for it to eat slowly. Why rush these two fourth-tier ones?
Wei Yanqing rubbed the back of his neck. "The Ghost Realm will definitely send more little ghosts over. That'll be a real problem."
Rong Yi suddenly put away his phone, clapped his hands, and said, "So much has happened these past few days that I've forgotten everything. Release that female ghost."
Wei Yanqing raised an eyebrow, then released the cage. There was no electricity around the cage, and Jin Ning Ghost Lord was half-lying inside.
After coming out, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately looked at the fourth-tier ghost crystal in Rong Yi's hand.
In order to ask him a proper question, Rong Yi accepted the ghost crystal and said, "I have something to ask you."
Having been imprisoned for so many days, Jin Ning Ghost Lord had come to understand the power of the two people in front of him and dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction. "If you know anything, I will tell you everything."
Rong Yi doodled on the paper and then held it up to show it. "Have you ever seen something like this?" She had drawn the small building where books were found.
Jin Ning Ghost Lord curled his body up even tighter, hesitated for three seconds, and nodded, saying, "I've met you."
Rong Yi was very satisfied. "How many have you seen?"
The female ghost clasped her hands and said, "About seven or eight."
Wei Yanqing put the map it had drawn earlier into the cage, "marking the location."
The female ghost was not happy, but dared not resist. Besides, even if she was unwilling, Wei Yanqing could use his talent to make her obediently draw.
She drew the location from her memory and then handed it back.
Wei Yanqing glanced at the map; it was mostly in General Nan's territory. Originally, Jin Ning Ghost Lord was just a lackey of this general.
"Is it not available elsewhere, or have you never been to other territories?" Wei Yanqing asked.
The female ghost looked fearful. "I belong to the territory of General Nan. I cannot go to the territories of other generals at will, or I will be devoured by the ghosts there."
These words reminded them of the big-headed ghost they had encountered, which then opened its mouth wide and ate the other ghosts.
Rong Yi: "Will ghosts within your territory be able to devour each other?"
The female ghost king nodded, "Yes, the ghost generals don't manage the territory much. It mainly depends on the ghost lords. The ghost lords don't care about our affairs."
The ghost realm is generally chaotic, with an extreme law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak.
"But because of the affairs of the human world, the Ghost King forbade us from devouring each other before, and the situation improved a bit." The female ghost king took the initiative to say, "Occasionally, some ghosts violate the rules, but as long as they restrain themselves and do less, the Ghost King will not pursue the matter."
That makes sense. There are no living people in the ghost realm, so there's no way for a soul to appear after someone dies and replenish the body. If you devour one, there's one less to go around.
Wei Yanqing waved the map in his hand. "That's all?"
The female ghost said, "I'm not sure, because I haven't been to all of the Ghost General's territory. But we can sense that getting close to these places will make us feel uncomfortable, so we rarely go near them unless absolutely necessary."
That's a natural GPS navigator.
Rong Yi decided that if he had another chance to go to the Ghost Realm, he would let this person guide him.
"About how many ghosts are there in the Ghost Realm, or how many in General Nan's territory?" Rong Yi asked.
Jin Ning Ghost Lord shook his head blankly, "I don't know about the Ghost Realm, but General Nan's... it might be over a billion."
This number shocked Rong Yi. Over a billion? She hadn't felt it at all when she went to the Ghost Realm last time. Could it be because she was too close to the place where the ancient texts were hidden?
Wei Yanqing put it away. "One ghost general might be worth over a billion, and there are three other ghost generals and a ghost king. Ten billion is the minimum estimate."
Moreover, this figure of over one billion is not accurate; who knows if it might be two billion?
Rong Yi: "Anyway, only a few of them are close to these buildings. If we have the chance to go, we should look for books first. But I didn't expect that the Ghost Lord of Zhongdu didn't come down after going up."
During last night's great battle, we didn't see the Ghost Lord of Zhongdu. He must still be in the Ghost Realm.
·
Perhaps the ghost realm communicates face-to-face. After several days of fierce fighting, the ghost realm still hadn't responded. Rong Yi guessed that the Ghost Lord of Zhongdu might not have come down, and no ghost had informed him of the situation.
Yuan Tianyu probably took this into consideration as well, and has been urging all the bases to speed up their operations, with the world joining forces to fight against them these past few days.
The progress was quite smooth. The Ghost Realm did not intend to destroy this world immediately, so the number of ghosts they sent was limited. Compared to the current number of surviving humans, two ghosts were more than enough to deal with one.
However, what was bound to happen eventually did. A week after the global wave of resistance began, an unusual phenomenon occurred.
The Ghost Lord of Zhongdu led an endless horde of ghosts down to the human world once more.
Compared to other ghosts, the Ghost Lord of Zhongdu seemed to be just a normal person with an unusual expression. He wore a gray-blue brocade robe, his white hair fell neatly down his back, and he had a beard on his face, looking like a serious patriarch.
It landed in the capital city under the watchful eyes of the public.
Initially, the ghost realm planned to stay here for several decades, with a continuous supply of fresh flesh and blood, before moving on to the next world to continue their invasion. Unexpectedly, the people here somehow obtained books on how to deal with them.
Judging from this trend, the Ghost King thought he should destroy this place before the human world acquired better books.
It all happened around 8 a.m. Today was a very overcast day, or rather, ever since the sky above the ghost realm and the human world began to meet, there hadn't been any good weather.
Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing haven't been to other cities these past few days. They know that the Ghost Realm will definitely come again, and there will be so many ghosts that they can't kill them all.
Looking at the endless horde of ghosts, Rong Yi rubbed his eyes. "Is this the Ghost Lord of Zhongdu?"
Wei Yanqing nodded, "It's highly likely that it has the strength of a fourth-tier superior, just one step away from the fifth tier."
No wonder I left the token there before.
Rong Yi: "Will it bring a token this time?" After all, ghosts can now move around in the human world without any problems.
Wei Yanqing pointed to the waist of the Ghost Lord of Zhongdu, "I guess he's wearing it."
Even from a distance, they could still sense the strange energy emanating from the sign, an energy that was not something they could absorb.
“I think so too.” Rong Yi’s eyes were filled with determination; he had to find a way to get the token this time.
The Ghost Lord of Zhongdu stood there with an air of superiority, saying, "I originally intended to let this recuperation process proceed slowly, but it seems unnecessary now. By order of the Ghost King, there is no mercy!"
Instantly, the horde of ghosts behind it surged in like black waves, and everyone, regardless of age or gender, held a small peach wood sword.
People ran past Rong Yi, some were locals and some were players.
She and Wei Yanqing had no eyes on any other ghosts, only on the Ghost Lord of Zhongdu, who also noticed their obvious gaze.
The two sides stared at each other across the crowd and the horde of ghosts. Wei Yanqing's spiritual power quickly climbed up to it. The ghost lord noticed this and frowned, shaking off the probe on his body.
“A fourth-tier superior is indeed not easy to deal with,” Wei Yanqing commented.
Rong Yi took out a dagger. "Even if it's difficult, we have to fight."
As they drew closer, the Ghost Lord of Zhongdu tilted his head slightly and took a deep breath. "You all have a smell that I find very offensive." He was referring to the smell of the talisman books.
“There’s something on you that we really like.” Rong Yi stared unabashedly at the tag on its waist.
The Ghost Lord of Zhongdu followed her gaze downwards, his tone full of contempt, "With you?"
When it tried to make a move, it found that the soul was unable to move, and Rong Yi attacked at that moment.
