Li Yu curled her lip; the Nightmare Beast clearly knew nothing and was still spouting nonsense.
He stepped forward and reached out, carefully touching the shoulder of the gray-white body.
"laugh--!"
The moment Li Yu touched the ghost's corpse, a large amount of steam-like white mist burst out from the point of contact!
The stability maintained by the ghostly corpse was broken, and it completely collapsed in the blink of an eye.
The solidified corpse quickly dissipated into a cloud of white mist that was even denser than that of an ordinary ghost.
The Nightmare Beast accepted all comers without hesitation, and immediately devoured all the white mist that the ghostly corpses had turned into.
Seeing Li Yu's furrowed brows and probing gaze, the Nightmare Beast immediately began to clamor, vying to defend itself:
"Hey, hey, hey! Li Yu, what kind of look is that? Do you think I like to eat this little bit of energy? This is all for that little cicada pupa, it's the real glutton! I can't eat much."
As it spoke, the Nightmare Beast took another deep breath of the remaining mist:
"I'm sacrificing myself for others... no, sacrificing myself for the sake of the pupa!"
After finishing speaking, the Nightmare Beast gave Li Yu a meaningful look, urging him to hurry up.
As Li Yu went further down, the more of these solidified ghostly "corpses" appeared.
They come in various shapes and postures: running, curling up, struggling, like eerie gray sculptures scattered throughout the mine.
With just a light touch from Li Yu, these ghostly corpses could instantly explode and turn into white mist.
The Nightmare Beast had completely transformed into a greedy glutton. Wherever Li Yu passed, the gray-white mist was swept away, with astonishing efficiency, saving a lot of trouble.
But as Li Yu continued to descend, the doubts in his heart grew heavier and heavier.
In the direction where the white fog grew thicker, the number of ghostly corpses also continued to increase.
Every ghost they encountered was, without exception, a motionless corpse.
This is definitely not a natural phenomenon!
Li Yu was curious about what kind of ability this was, that could freeze all these ghosts in place on such a large scale, making them appear as if they were dead.
Just as he was concentrating on his thoughts, not far ahead, a strangely shaped ghostly corpse that looked like it was about to fall suddenly twitched very slightly!
"Li Yu, there's a survivor! That one isn't quite dead yet!" The sharp-eyed Nightmare Beast quickly alerted.
Li Yu reacted quickly, stepping forward to catch the ghostly corpse that was about to fall.
"laugh--!"
The moment they made contact, a piercing sound, like boiling oil being poured onto snow, suddenly erupted, and wisps of heat, as if evaporating, continuously rose from the ghost's body.
The ghost, though clearly dead, seemed to be suffering torture, its entire body convulsing violently. It suddenly raised its head, opened its eyes wide, and stared intently at Li Yu.
Seeing that murderous gaze, Li Yu was equally astonished:
"Not only did he not die, he also gained intelligence!"
In an instant, he thought of Huang Ya, a ghost who also possessed wisdom, and Luo Fei, the ghost in the monk Jingshi's staff.
Perhaps the secret to breaking through level restrictions lies hidden in these unique ghosts!
Thinking of this, Li Yu gripped her hand even tighter and hurriedly asked the ghost:
"Is there anything you want to say before you die?"
But the ghost's eyes widened even more.
Li Yu also stared wide-eyed.
ghost:"......"
Li Yu: "......"
Nightmare Beast: "???"
The Nightmare Beast couldn't understand what Li Yu was doing!
"Ugh..." The ghost's pale lips trembled violently, emitting an extremely faint sound.
Li Yu immediately leaned forward, feigning a listening posture, and said, "Just say what you have to say!"
Ghost: "Too...too..."
Seeing the ghost growing weaker and weaker, Li Yu pulled it into a tight embrace and anxiously pressed for answers:
"Who is your wife? Speak up!"
Another cloud of white mist rose up, and it looked like they were about to give up.
The ghost's face was contorted in agony, twisting into extreme pain. With its last ounce of strength, it glared at Li Yu fiercely, as if it wanted to devour him:
"It's too hot!"
"What?" Li Yu was taken aback.
Before he could react, there was another loud "whoosh" sound from his hand.
The ghost, already half-dead, was instantly released from extreme pain. Its translucent body exploded in Li Yu's fiery hands, turning into a cloud of white mist and vanishing into nothingness, utterly dead.
The Nightmare Beast standing nearby immediately became anxious:
"Oh no! Li Yu, why did you kill it! We finally found a talking ghost corpse that wasn't dead, and you burned it to death with your energy! You're a living devil!"
"Shut up!" Li Yu said angrily, standing up and shaking off the damp, eerie feeling on her hands.
He never expected that his uncontrolled cyclone energy could cause such fatal damage to the ghost.
Seeing that Li Yu was really angry, the Nightmare Beast immediately shut its mouth. However, although it had been joking around, it did not forget to absorb the white mist.
Realizing the 'vulnerability' of the ghost, Li Yu stood still, gradually slowing down the vortex, completely concealing his aura, and completely releasing the energy defenses on his body.
With the Nightmare Beasts around, even without guarding against the ghosts, being attacked mentally is no problem at all.
After adjusting himself, Li Yu used only his physical strength to quickly run towards the fog-shrouded area deep inside the mine.
Before long, living creatures were spotted again in the fog ahead, and faint rustling whispers could be heard.
Li Yu had learned his lesson this time. He quietly crouched down and approached under the cover of the jagged rocks at the bottom of the mine, stealthily sneaking up from behind.
