Chapter 18 Chase in the Dark



"Look, what's that!"

Outside the pigsty of the Prince's Mansion.

A dozen or so young people were resting and waiting here.

Just then, someone suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted.

As he spoke, many people looked up at the sky.

Against the backdrop of a silent, dark night.

Clumps of dark, mist-like spirits wandered around the sky at great speed.

What's going on?

Chen Chu glanced at Zhang Tianshi beside him.

Master Zhang said with a hint of trepidation.

"These are evil spirits that have escaped from the underworld!"

It's unclear whether Zhang Tianshi was afraid of spirits or Chen Chu.

"It looks like they came from the south of the town!"

Zhang Tianshi's casual remark served as a reminder to Chen Chu.

Their mission in this instance is to find the true form of the evil spirit.

These spirits, which look like my little brother's, came from the south, which means there must be some problem or clue in the south.

Whew! Whew!

These spirits drifting in the sky are like aimless, wandering ghosts.

Just then, a spirit suddenly landed in the palace.

This was just the beginning; spirits continued to descend from the sky and gradually landed among the people!

"Ugh!!!"

Suddenly, a scream came from the front yard.

"Oh no, it's my dad's side!"

Hai Xin said something that made everyone realize that Master Wang had been attacked by a spirit.

"Let's go take a look!"

Chen Chu made a quick decision, taking Hai Xin, Lu Xiuyu, Lü Guoguo, and Qi Dacheng with him. Of course, he didn't forget to bring Zhang Tianshi along as well.

The group headed towards Master Wang's bedroom.

The other awakened ones stayed here, sticking together and watching over their classmates who had not yet awakened.

The group of six soon arrived at Master Wang's room.

Upon opening the room door, everyone witnessed a horrifying scene.

Master Wang's face was gloomy, and his eyes were dark.

Upon seeing someone arrive, Master Wang stiffly shifted his body slightly.

He glanced at Chen Chu and the others, a malicious smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"You all must die!"

Whoosh!

After speaking, the spirit left Master Wang's body and vanished into thin air.

Master Wang collapsed.

Judging from Master Wang's face, he looked utterly defeated.

After draining Master Wang's life force, the spirit appeared even more powerful.

Chen Chu's heart skipped a beat. Although these were all NPCs in the dungeon, he still felt that something was off about ignoring Master Wang.

Chen Chu rushed forward to check and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, there is no danger to my life, I'm just a little exhausted."

"Help Grandpa Wang into bed."

Chen Chu turned around and said something.

No one moved, except for Zhang Tianshi, who looked around.

"No way?"

Zhang Tianshi thought to himself, "I am a Taoist priest, how can you make me do such rough work!"

However, Zhang Tianshi still succumbed to Chen Chu's tyranny and helped Old Master Wang to the bed.

Chen Chu looked at Zhang Tianshi and asked.

"Let me ask you, does your sect have any records of how to handle such a situation?"

"this……"

Zhang Tianshi pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"There are records, but we just need to find out why these spirits came here and where their lair is."

"Once their true forms are exposed, everything will fall into place."

"Going there with just a few of us would be suicide. Didn't you see that evil spirit just now?"

Zhang Tianshi looked troubled.

"If we act rashly, we will definitely suffer the consequences!"

At this moment, Qi Dacheng said something from the side.

He felt a little scared when he first saw that spirit.

It was obvious that the spirit was at level two.

But there are many more like that outside, a vast array of first-level and a small number of second-level spirits.

It's simply beyond the capabilities of these newbies.

However, at this moment, Chen Chu said something.

"Our missing classmates and townspeople were very likely lured to their hideout!"

"If I'm not mistaken, it's located south of the town."

They just discovered that the overwhelming number of spirits came from the south.

“Master Zhang is right. Weren’t we just there to deliver the food?”

Qi Dacheng was somewhat reluctant to go.

Even Lu Xiuyu, a level two expert, said this.

"This matter requires further consideration."

Chen Chu looked at Lü Guoguo, the girl who hadn't spoken.

At this moment, Lü Guoguo stood next to Haixin, because only Haixin, who was also a girl, could give her a sense of security.

"Wherever Squad Leader Haixin goes, I will go."

Hai Xin said, "I'll go with Chen Chu."

Upon hearing this, Lü Guoguo immediately frowned.

Everyone knows that once they go outside, they're likely to be caught in a fierce battle.

These spirits and evil spirits seemed somewhat afraid to enter people's homes; only those level-two spirits dared to break in.

Therefore, it is still safe to stay in the Prince's Palace for the time being.

"You wait here. By tomorrow night, Old Master Wang's fate will serve as a warning to you."

Chen Chu did not try to dissuade them, but instead said...

“When a spirit absorbs the essence of a human body, it becomes more powerful. Yesterday it was level one, and today it has become level two. What about tomorrow?”
