"What is the Lord of Ghosts? I've only heard of the Book of Songs saying 'To be a ghost or a den, you cannot get it', which is an insult. There are actually people who call themselves the Lord of Ghosts. Isn't that like saying that he is the king of bastards?" I said, and couldn't help laughing.

"What you don't know, Zhou Lang, is that the Lord of the Ghost Cave is the nightmare shadow of all the living beings here. He is by no means a ridiculous thing. The umbrella is also one of the eight treasures of Taiqiong Cave, which is as famous as the Golden Palace. Its magical power is even more terrifying. In my opinion, it is better to withdraw the troops today, discuss countermeasures, and then come back to look for it. What do you think, Zhou Lang? After all, the sea monster is already difficult to deal with. If we add another treasure, we will be seeking our own death." Hu Lingshang advised.

"But didn't you say that Yunwen's body would only last two days at most due to its freshness? If I go back this time, wouldn't I be ruining her last chance of survival? If I hadn't thought about increasing the probability of winning and that sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood, I might have come here without caring about anything. Now that I have already sharpened the knife and wasted so much time, I can't just retreat and waste any more time." I said.

"Zhou Lang, this thing is extraordinary. You and I have entered the mountains this time, which is different from the time when we were in the post station. If we want to attack it, I'm afraid it will be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, which will do no good. Let's find another way to deal with Sister Yunwen's matter." Hu Lingshang advised sincerely again.

"Hu Lingshang, forgive me for being frank, but I don't know whether I should believe you or not. There are many suspicious points about you. I don't know whether you really helped Yunwen, or you are just fooling me with these words. I have very good hearing. Although I have comforted myself many times, I still can see that the Yinshi Pot should still be on you, right? The thing about the extremely yin energy that can calm the soul and trap the spirit, I'm afraid they are all lies. Your retreat this time makes me feel that you are not sincere. You just want to use me to get rid of your natural enemy, and you didn't think of Yunwen." I said.

"What do you mean, Zhou Lang? Do you suspect me?" Hu Lingshang asked.

"The Yinxi Pot has always been in your left sleeve pocket and has never left your body, right? Do I still need to doubt it?" I said.

She stopped talking immediately, perhaps because I had exposed her.

"Okay, the lie has been exposed, there's no need to pretend anymore. If you don't want to save Yunwen, I will save her myself. If you're afraid, go back." I said.

"I'm doing this for your own good, Mr. Zhou!" said Hu Lingshang.

"If you really want to do good for me, you should think of a way to get Yunwen back instead of deceiving me. But thank you for letting me find hope to save Yunwen. I will not hold it against you and say thank you for making up for my mistake." I said.

Hu Lingshang jumped off the horse, and really relied on the method of Yin Xie Pot to transform Yin into Yang to float in the air. Just as I expected, she said, "I need to protect the fox clan and continue their bloodline, and I will never take such a risk."

"Please," I said.

She sighed and stared at me for a moment, while the horse continued to carry me forward. She did not keep up in mid-air and stayed where she was. I did not look back at her, and after a moment I heard her walking away on the wind and clouds.

I couldn't help but sigh, but looking at the flag held high by the Big Fang, thinking about the tiger mask embroidered stitch by stitch by Yunwen, it felt like needles piercing my heart. I couldn't give up. Yunwen was still waiting for me to save her. Then I thought of her heart being taken out and her tragic scene before death, I clenched my fists even more, thinking that I must not give the curser Peter any chance to breathe. I would never give up until he suffered a hundred times more than Yunwen.

Thinking like this, after Hu Lingshang left, I waved my spear forward and shouted, "Who cares about that broken umbrella? All troops, attack!"

As a result, they couldn't help but squeeze their horses' bellies and walked faster. Big Fang also felt the change in speed, and with a few grunts, all the hyena soldiers started to trot.

The sky was covered with dark clouds and it suddenly became dark. The whole dense forest became a gray and gloomy area. For a moment, it was not only very depressing, but also seemed full of murderous intent. The clarity of the surrounding trees kept blurring, and I could vaguely hear something tumbling in the trees, making the trees sway in an endless stream. From the size of the movement, I thought that the person coming must be quite large, and the branches were shaking at a very high frequency, so I couldn't guess what it was.

In addition, there was a heavy sound of footsteps on the ground. It seemed that some terrible thing had come, and its running frequency was really fast. It attacked from both sides. The sounds of their arrival were slightly familiar, which made me guess for a while.

The sound was getting closer, and I shouted, "Big Fang!"

Then Big Tusk turned around, and I covered my raised left hand with my right palm. This was not a special forces gesture, but one I used for emergencies, and it also meant to stop. Big Tusk understood immediately and shouted a few times, and all the hyena people stopped. I also restrained my hands and listened for the sound. The sound on the ground came from the northwest front, and the sound on the tree came from the northeast. They were all coming from the front and attacking at the same time. Hearing the sound approaching, I was also thinking about a response plan.

Big Fang waited for my instructions. I made a few gestures. The fog was still deep enough to see clearly. Anyone coming from the ground had three pairs of legs and a strong grip on the ground, so I had to block them first. So I pointed three fingers at Big Fang, which meant Team Three. The next few gestures meant Team Three would raise shields to cover the northwest side. Then I pointed two more fingers, which meant Team Two. The same few gestures meant Team Two would prepare to throw stones toward the northeast.

Big Fang translated it for me in gibberish, and the hyena people immediately followed the instructions and deployed their troops. I also raised my spear and prepared for a battle.

Listening to the sound, I counted silently in my heart: three, two, one!

I saw a guy with a human head and a rat body rushing out, holding up arms that looked like cockroach limbs. It was Joseph, the monster from the underground factory. His body was now covered with rotten flesh, but some skin and flesh tissue were still intact. He was a creature running on the ground. He swung his cockroach arms and suddenly smashed the combined wooden stake shields of the third squad, knocking down four of them. However, there is strength in numbers, and the ten hyena men dispersed their strength, so they were able to block it.

"Stab!" I shouted. These were simple words, but I had trained them before and they could understand them.

Suddenly, under the leadership of Scar, there were only six hyenas left standing in the third squad. They pierced their spears at the same time, and the spears were embedded in the flesh and blood of the underground monster Joseph. For a moment, his flesh and blood were blurred. The others who fell down stood up again and returned to the team. They were also pierced through, some pierced his throat, and some pierced his chest, but none of them could kill Joseph. Until I remembered that night when the spear directly pierced Ryan's head and killed him.

He called out to Scar, the squad leader of the third squad. Scar turned around and pointed at the head of the monster Joseph underground. It understood, pulled out its spear, stepped back a few steps, then suddenly jumped up and stabbed in the air. The spear pierced Joseph's head. Only then did Joseph stop. A puff of white smoke rose from his head and he collapsed.

At this moment, suddenly two huge stones came down from mid-air. In the dim fog, a four-armed creature was seen holding the tree trunk with both arms, and several stones hit the hyena men holding shields. Two stones hit two heads. The two hyena men screamed immediately, covering their heads, blood gushing out of their mouths. Then they couldn't hold on to the shields and fell down. Their pupils dilated and they died. There were holes on their heads.

Four-armed white ape? It really is this guy!

Seeing this, I was so angry that I shouted, "Iron ring!"

The second squad leader Tiehuan turned around immediately. I pointed at the tree and shouted, "Throw it!"

It immediately let out a loud "woop" and the second group of hyena people immediately smashed the stones in their hands upwards. Bang, bang, bang. The thing on the tree dodged flexibly but was still hit by the endless stream of stones and fell down.

I shouted to Big Fang and threw the rope without a target. Big Fang immediately understood and shouted. The elite team of Class 1 also ran towards the four directions of the white ape. I raised my spear and rushed forward with a shout. I held the spear upside down, like the martial saint Guan Yu dragging his sword, dragging the spear on the ground, making a hissing sound.

As soon as the four-armed white ape got up from the ground, vines spread out and immediately bound its neck, hands and feet. It screamed in fear, but the hyena people in the elite class were not vegetarians. They held on tightly and it could only move for a moment.

"Yunwen's time is precious. You evil monsters who should be repenting in hell, instead of accepting your punishment and repenting, dare to delay my important matters? You are looking for death!" I shouted.

Then Sanfu rushed over quickly, and I pierced the four-armed white ape's forehead with a spear. White steam also rose from its head, and it fell to the ground and died.

But at the same time, the ground began to shake, and when I became alert, I found that a shiny silver dragon dagger was already hanging behind my neck without me noticing.
