Chapter 88 Ghost Hunters
There is no special road to enter the lightless forest, and the endless forest can be accessed from anywhere. However, all the roads that can enter the lightless forest are nicknamed the road to death by adventurers. Although this is just a joke, it illustrates one thing from another perspective, that is, entering the lightless forest, facing not only the treasures that can make a fortune, but also death.
Along the way, Jin Linger followed the code left by Lan Qingyi. Judging from the road she has walked, the route chosen by Lan Qingyi is a remote route that few people have walked. This is expected. With more people taking some routes, the forest has been explored by many adventurers. Valuable things must have been taken away long ago. It is meaningless to go to those places.
Along the way, Bai Niao rushed to learn more about Baicaomen from Jin Linger. The eight guards who appeared in the inner hall before are already the strongest guard force of Baicaomen. Those ladies who are sitting in the hall, dealing with medicinal materials and grabbing medicine, some are doctors, some are herbalists, and each of them has a different division of labor. He also learned that there are two kinds of disciples of Baicaomen, one of which is the core disciples of eight guards who both know both medicine and martial arts. One is those aunts who also know some medical skills, or have the ability to deal with medicinal materials and make drugs, but they often have no innate power, let alone natural martial arts. They are just ordinary doctors and pharmacists. They belong to external disciples.
Such a distinction was formed at the beginning of the establishment of Baicaomen and has continued to this day. Although Baicaomen has fallen, this rule has still been preserved. According to this standard of distinction, as soon as Bainiao Chong joins the Baicaomen, he is already a core disciple whose identity is more important. The core disciple with the lowest generation.
And Jin Linger also learned more about Bai Niao Chong, Nancy and Meng Zhi from the conversation. However, what she can understand is that Bai Niao Chong can only tell her. She can't know the things that can't be said, such as his identity as a ghost refiner, Nancy's identity as a ghost slave of the living dead, and Meng Zhi is a Taoist priest who knows Taoism.
Maybe I will tell her this in the future, but that's also in the future. It's not the right time yet.
Four people tied their horses outside the forest and then walked into the forest. You can't ride a horse in the lightless forest. Along the way, there was also a secret code left by Lan Qingyi guiding the direction of the four people.
After a long journey, there was no accident, but the sky gradually darkened. It's not sunset yet, but the lightless forest is about to enter the night. As the light gradually disappears, the road under your feet becomes more and more difficult to walk.
The cold night wind blew the trees and sobbed, like thousands of lonely ghosts crying. In the depths of the dark forest, there was an occasional loud roar of a huge beast, which was frightening.
Mengzhi and Jin Linger looked nervous. Affected by the cold environment and the roar of the beast, their state was much worse than that outside the forest. Bai Niaochong and Nancy are a distinct exception. They not only do not feel uncomfortable at all, but also enjoy this environment full of death and the dark and humid forest.
Any place full of darkness and sin is a home-like feeling for the ghost refiner and his servants. If the world is the same, the light is brilliant, the darkness does not exist, and the evil is not there, then the ghost refiner will be gone. If there is darkness and sin, there are ghost refiners.
After walking for a while, it was completely dark. Bai Niaochong and Nancy are not uncomfortable at all, but Jin Linger and Meng Zhi can no longer rush. The four were forced to stay, and Bai Niao rushed to camp in a relatively dry place. He is responsible for setting up the tent, Nancy and Jin Linger are responsible for picking up firewood, and Meng Zhi is responsible for distributing dry food.
A bonfire quickly burned in the forest open space. The jumping fire lit up the faces of the four people and dispersed a certain range of darkness around them. Beasts are afraid of flames, which is also effective for many spirit beasts. After all, although they are out of the category of low-level beasts, they are still beasts after all. No matter how they evolve, the nature of some beasts cannot be lost.
Three women chatted around the bonfire and enjoyed the delicious dried beef jerky and other food brought in from the outside. Bainiao Chong also ate some beef, drank a few mouthfuls of water, and then found a convenient excuse to walk alone to a dark forest. As soon as he left, Nancy followed, fulfilling her duties as a ghost slave and guarding him.
Nancy knows what Bai Niao Chong is going to do, and she also wants to see the first ghost team of Bai Niao Chong.
When he searched in the woods to make sure that no one and beasts were lurking around, the birds rushed back to the place he chose. Nancy also appeared beside him and was ready for everything.
"Don't let anyone get close to here, Mengzhi is an exception, but she must know what I'm going to do and deliberately pester Jin Linger." Bai Niao Chong made a simple explanation.
"Whirry... Are you going to let me stay with you like this all night?" Nancy said.
Bai Niao Chong no longer talked nonsense with her and sat down cross-legged. A ghost refiner was injected into the seal of the ghost world. In an instant, a huge sucking force came, dragging his soul and quickly falling into the underworld ghost refining world.
The ghost village is changing all the time. This time, Bai Niaochong found that his ghost village had some changes six days ago. The biggest change is that the stone wall between his ghost village and the desolate ghost village has been knocked down, and his ghost people have begun to cultivate the fields of the desolate ghost village.
Under the leadership of hell, his ghost people have begun to occupy the territory of the mysterious ghost refiner.
But this is a matter of time. Even if Yan Gui doesn't instruct those ghosts like this, he will do the same, but I'm afraid the time will be delayed.
Hundreds of birds came, and all the ghosts crawled and knelt down. The only person who doesn't worship is the devil. He doesn't need to rush any etiquette to the hundred birds. He is a very special existence in the ghost refining world of the hundred birds. He is not only the teacher of Bainiao Chong, the leader of the ghost world, and also the partner of Bainiao Chong.
"Kid, you're here. I thought something happened to you outside. I can't come today." Yan Gui said.
Bainiao Chong has arrived in Linhei City. Now he is looking for Lan Qingyi in the Wuguang Forest. He told Yan Gui, and finally said, "It's not very convenient to be with that Jin Linger. I'm afraid I won't stay for much time. Now show me the ghost soldiers you trained."
"Ha ha, I knew you would be in such a hurry. Well, let them come to see you now." Yan Gui smiled loudly, stretched out his hands, and patted a few times.
A sound of footsteps suddenly came from the newly built barracks. The barracks was still very simple, just a few simple stone barracks, a playground for training and a stone wall. However, no matter how simple it is, it is Bai Niao Chong's painstaking efforts. Every time he sees this barracks, he can't help but be excited.
The first thing that entered the sight of the hundred birds was the tall and plump lark, followed by ten ghost soldiers. With the captain of the lark, the ghost soldier he has now is actually one.
The ghost soldiers behind the lark are strong, and Kong Wu looks powerful. The spirit of death in them is also stronger than that of ordinary ghosts. That's obviously the result of feeding with ghost crystals and ghost food. Of course, there are also reasons for hell ghosts' special training for them.
To Bainiao Chong's excitement and surprise, these ghost soldiers each wore black lock armor, carrying swords and shields. These equipments are very good, which he has never seen before.
"Ghost, they..." Under the impact of sophisticated equipment, Bai Niao Chong finally calmed down. "What's wrong with their equipment?"
Yan Gui smiled and said, "You take me to the ghost village next door. After you leave, in addition to training these ghost soldiers and running your ghost village, I will go to that village to have a look when I am free. The first few harvests were relatively small, and only some rusty labor tools and utensils were found. After you left last time, I asked your ghost people to push the stone wall open. As a result, I found a cellar under the stone wall, where there were 100 sets of such sophisticated infantry armor and knife and shield weapons in stock.
"I think..." Bai Niaochong's heart pounded, "That ghost refiner is also a very talented ghost refiner. He can not only create such excellent weapons and equipment in his ghost refining world, but also formulate a perfect military service decree. When his ghost people don't fight, they will return to the field, engage in farming and produce ghost food. When you go to war, you will wear armor and be as brave as a tiger. And the cellar you found is actually the place where the ghost soldiers in this ghost village store armor and weapons. I think there must be a ghost craftsman who is responsible for managing these armor and weapons at ordinary times.
Yan Gui nodded and agreed with Bai Niao Chong's speculation. Although these statements are all guessed by Bai Niao Chong, judging from the clues they have already grasped, it is probably like that.
With the more things discovered, the deeper you know about the ghost village next door. Bai Niao Chong and Yan Gui actually have a bolder guess in their hearts, that is, the ghost refining world next door is very likely to be a powerful ghost country!
The ghost empire is only one step away from hell.
However, throughout the ages, I don't know how many ghost refiners have died under this heaven and can't be surpassed.
With the fluttering mind, under the leadership of the lark, the ghost soldier team has run to the front of the hundred birds.
"See the ghost!" Eleven ghost soldiers knelt down on one knee and gave a warrior salute to the birds.
Yan Gui not only trained their fighting skills, but also taught them more etiquette, which Bai Niao Chong did not expect.
"If there is etiquette, there is a concept of superiority and inferiority." Yan Gui said, "I teach them etiquette and strengthen their concept of superiority and inferiority, and it will be easier for you to control them in the future." After a pause, he said, "These ghost soldiers are very strong. The captain's lark is the strongest, which is equivalent to a Tianwu in the middle of the Vajra realm. The rest of the ghost soldiers are weaker, but they are also equivalent to the Tianwu in the beginning of the Vajra realm."
It's so strong that hundreds of birds didn't expect it. Previously, he and Yan Gui had a prediction that the strength of the ghost soldiers was not as good as that of a Tianwu in the Diamond Realm, but after a month of ghost crystal ghost food feeding and training, the strength of these ghost soldiers was equivalent to that of the Tianwu in the Diamond Realm, which greatly exceeded expectations.
"Ky, thanks to your ghost crystals and ghost food, I have never seen such a strong ghost soldier in a ghost village."
"Ghost, your training is also very important." Bai Niao Chong said. He wanted to say thank you, but in a blink of an eye, it turned out. Yan Gui won't like his politeness.
After a few more words, Yan Gui took Bainiao Chong to the barracks to watch the drills of the ghost soldiers. Those ghost soldiers will fight together under the leadership of the lark, or catch and fight. The knife flashed and shouted repeatedly, and the scene was very fierce. The strength of these ghost soldiers is also shown in front of Bai Niao Chong through practice, and he also has a deeper understanding of the strength of these ghost soldiers.
No matter how powerful the ghost soldier is, it needs to be used by the ghost refiner to play its role. The use of the ghost refiner is also crucial. Mastering the strength of the ghost soldiers, Bainiao Chong can accurately use these ghost soldiers in different environments and maximize their power.
After watching the drill of the ghost soldiers, Bai Niao Chong led by Yan Gui to the arsenal of the barracks and checked the remaining eighty-nine sets of armor and sword shields. Those armors are made of high-quality gold and iron, and the joints are firm and flexible. This level of armor is a superior armor even in the Yangjian world. Those knives and shields are also made of high-quality gold and iron. There is no trace of roughness, and they are also high-quality weapons and armor.
"One hundred sets of armor and weapons are only used for eleven sets, and there are still 89 sets left, but I don't have the right ghost soldiers to wear them. This is really a waste." The feeling of Bainiao Chong is very complicated. With such excellent weapons and equipment, it could have built a team of 100-person ghost soldiers, but now it can only be equipped with eleven ghost soldiers. For him, it feels like facing a table of delicious food, but his food is so limited that he can only eat part of it.
"So, you have to kill and catch more ghosts coming in. I can train ten out of more than a hundred. In this proportion, you need to catch more than a thousand ghosts to use these armor and swords and shields." Yan Gui said with a smile.
"Ghost, you just wait to receive new ghosts. This black city is a place full of darkness and sin. The ghosts of powerful adventurers and mercenaries are often well-qualified ghosts, which are most suitable for training as ghost soldiers. Hundreds of birds rushed to find such a plan, but when he saw these weapons and equipment, his desire to realize this plan was even stronger.
In addition, he pushed to the stone wall and merged the barren ghost village next door. His territory was several times larger. More ghost fields needed to be cultivated, and he also needed more ordinary ghost people.
Finally, before leaving the ghost refining world, the hundred birds rushed to name his first ghost soldier team, the hunting team. The emblem of this hunting team is the emblem of the Seminoc family in the hundreds of days that he promised to be the chief of the Shinto clan, black lightning.
