Chapter 404: War Ghost
The Nine Flames Fire that Zhou Shisheng practiced could just restrain the Yin energy, so he used this time to collect a lot of good things.
The only thing is that after two years, his protective treasures are almost used up!
Even the magic weapon bestowed upon him by his master was shattered in a previous battle with a sixth-rank ghost general.
He couldn't take any more risks!
Zhou Shisheng pondered: Then let’s go in again!
As long as he can hunt ten more Yin Lingzhu and pick some Mandragora flowers for his junior sister, he will go back!
Thinking of his kind master and several fellow practitioners, a smile appeared on his lips.
I don’t know if they are all okay!
The deeper you go into the swamp, the heavier the yin energy becomes.
Yin energy has a corrosive effect on the human body. Each person can only stay outdoors for a maximum of three hours a day, and then has to hurry back to the gate to replenish spiritual energy.
It was almost time for everyone to go out today. When they were about to go back, Zhou Shisheng stood up and said to everyone, "You guys go back first. I still need to go inside for a while."
"Going further in?" everyone was shocked.
The leader of the team was an old monk named Qiao, who advised, "Xiao Zhou, the further you go in, the more dangerous it becomes. How can you go in alone?"
Zhou Shisheng smiled and said, "It's alright, Uncle Qiao, I know what's going on!"
The old monk shook his head and sighed, "Young people are brave, but we old guys can't do that! Go if you want to, but don't go too far, just enough!"
Zhou Shisheng smiled and said, "I save that!"
He separated from the team, and the others returned, while Zhou Shisheng, carrying a sword, went alone into the depths of the swamp.
However, just as he took a few steps, he heard rustling footsteps behind him.
When Zhou Shisheng turned around, he saw a little girl following him.
The girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, with two buns on her head and a pretty and lovely face.
Zhou Shisheng asked, "Why are you following me?"
This girl's name is Huang Xiaoru, and it is said that she came to the underworld with her parents.
It's just that her parents accidentally died at the claws of a high-level ghost, and the little girl met them on her escape.
Old monk Qiao felt sorry for her and allowed her to follow the team.
The little girl smiled at him ingratiatingly and said, "Brother Zhou, can you take me with you into the deep swamp forest? I want to go in and hunt for some more ghost beads!"
Zhou Shisheng refused directly, "No!"
Huang Xiaoru’s smile froze.
Zhou Shisheng ignored her and turned away.
I heard footsteps behind me, and it turned out to be the little girl catching up with me.
Zhou Shisheng frowned and stopped?
However, before he could say anything, Huang Xiaoru spoke first, "Brother Zhou, I have something to do in the deep swamp forest. I have a little sister who has been paralyzed in bed since she was a child. I urgently need a Yin grass to use as medicine!
I followed my parents to the underworld just to collect Yin grass.
Now my parents are dead, and I am the only one left. If I can’t collect the Yin grass, my sister will be doomed in this life!
But I don't dare to go in alone. If Senior Brother Zhou is willing to take me with him, I will be willing to reward him with a treasure in the future!"
As the little girl spoke, tears fell from her eyes, and she looked pitiful.
Zhou Shisheng hesitated, but he didn't really have bad intentions.
But this little girl had two buns on her hair, wore a green dress, and her eyes and eyebrows looked very similar to Lu Yan.
Sometimes when he turned around and saw her, he would mistakenly think that his junior sister was right beside him, which made him unable to harden his heart.
He thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, if you want to follow me, go ahead! But you can't be too far away. You have to stay by my side no matter what happens!"
The little girl burst into laughter and said, "Okay, okay, Senior Brother Zhou, I promise I will never cause you any trouble! If you encounter a powerful ghost, you don't have to worry about me, just escape on your own!"
In this way, Huang Xiaoru followed Zhou Shisheng.
After entering the depths of the swamp, Zhou Shisheng's speed became even faster, almost flying ahead.
In the past two years, his cultivation has improved greatly, and he has even comprehended the "Ling" character formula. With the help of the character formula, he can fly through the air without using any spiritual power.
However, he did not notice that the little girl behind him had a faint light in her eyes.
What surprised Zhou Shisheng was that Huang Xiaoru followed behind and did not fall behind!
Although she was young, she seemed to have strong skills. She had a three-pointed sword under her feet, which followed closely behind.
The two of them flew nearly a thousand miles in a flash.
Deep in the swamp, the fog became thicker and thicker, and even if it was very close, one could not see the figures around him clearly.
As soon as Zhou Shisheng came in, he became fully alert.
Afraid that Huang Xiaoru would get lost, he took the initiative to conjure up a spiritual rope and tied it around her, so that no matter what happened, the two of them would have someone to look after.
From time to time, ghosts emerged from the fog, and Zhou Shisheng raised his sword and chopped them down again and again.
Huang Xiaoru followed silently behind, waving a three-pointed sword with a rustling sound. The two of them cooperated and actually picked up quite a few Yin Lingzhu.
Suddenly, a sharp and piercing laugh was heard. Zhou Shisheng raised his eyes and saw a red shadow flash past him.
The red shadow was moving so fast that before he could see its shape clearly, a long, sharp ghost claw grabbed towards his face.
Zhou Shisheng quickly rolled backwards to avoid it, but the claw was too fast and grabbed his shoulder.
With a swish sound, a piece of his robe was torn off, along with a piece of flesh on his shoulder.
The ghost laughed shrilly, causing the thick fog to churn.
Zhou Shisheng fell to the ground in pain, blood gushing out from his shoulder.
His cheeks were trembling with pain. When he looked up, he saw a female ghost in red sitting on the treetop, smiling at him.
The female ghost in red had no feet, and wet liquid rolled down from the corner of her skirt. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be drops of blood.
Zhou Shisheng took a breath.
Red!
This is the seventh-level red-clothed ghost general!
He thought it would be more dangerous to go deeper into the thick fog, but he didn't expect that the first thing he saw when he came out was a seventh-level red-clothed monster!
He raised his hand to quickly stop the bleeding on his shoulder, but the poison instantly invaded his body and his entire shoulder turned black in an instant!
The ghost claw dug too deep, and his bones were exposed. Now even the bones are black!
Zhou Shisheng felt his entire arm become cold and heavy, and he couldn't lift his hand no matter how hard he tried.
He was secretly shocked; the power of the seventh-level evil spirit was beyond his expectations.
What's worse is that his robes were completely ruined by this blow.
This is the last protective treasure he has!
"Senior Brother Zhou, are you okay?"
Huang Xiaoru ran over and saw that he was so badly injured, her face full of worry.
Spiritual power flickered at Zhou Shisheng's fingertips, and several "explosion" spells took shape.
Asking Huang Xiaoru to stay away, he raised his hand and threw it at the female ghost.
Although the seventh-level evil ghost is powerful, he is not without the ability to fight!
The female ghost sensed the danger and tried to dodge quickly, but it was too late.
A series of explosive words exploded on her body.
There was a loud bang, the earth shook, thick fog rolled up, and the female ghost's body was blown away.
The female ghost roared to the sky, and her black hair turned into thousands of steel needles, shooting towards Zhou Shisheng.
Zhou Shisheng leaped up and fought with the female ghost.
