Chapter 1756: Chapter 942: Tiger Hunters (Part 2)
Lin Feng saw these men and women, probably three or four pairs, each exuding a green aura, then they all floated inside.
"What are they doing here in the middle of the night?" Lin Feng asked Hua Shengmi. In fact, he wasn’t really asking Hua Shengmi, he just needed someone to talk to in order to divert his attention away from this scene.
Hua Shengmi thought Lin Feng genuinely didn’t know, so she laughed and said to him: "Ignorant, ghosts don’t come out during the day, do they? You used to be at the peak of nine spirit knots, yet you’re asking such silly questions now."
Lin Feng also felt annoyed, and said: "Yes, I’m ignorant. How about I take you out to play with them now?"
Hearing that Lin Feng wanted to take her out to mingle with the ghosts, Hua Shengmi was so scared she quickly replied: "I think it’s better not to. After all, these entities are natural, just here to play. They’ll go back when they’re done."
But before Hua Shengmi finished talking, Lin Feng saw two long-haired ghosts in white drifting towards the temple, floating towards those men and women.
One of the men suddenly opened his closed mouth, and a white-clothed long-haired ghost started sucking their essence.
Lin Feng was shocked, finally realizing what the hell this was!
"Turns out these people were captured. I’ve heard of ghosts abducting people to suck their essence and blood."
After speaking, Hua Shengmi was still shocked, while Lin Feng drew out his Treasure Sword and rushed towards the white-clothed long-haired ghost from the shrine.
At this time, the white-clothed long-haired ghost only thought about consuming essence, not sensing anything happening beside it.
Even as fast as Lin Feng was, he was still a step slower than the other white-clothed long-haired ghost, who seemed to be keeping an eye out for the other ghost.
Its long hair danced, tying up Lin Feng’s Grade Seven Treasure Sword, not giving him any time to breathe, and snatching the sword to toss it aside.
In his heart, Lin Feng cursed: "Damn it, the Hundred Treasure Pavilion people really can’t be trusted. Even after reaching the Fourth Layer, they gave me a broken sword!"
Originally, when Lin Feng acquired the Grade Seven Treasure Sword, he didn’t think much of it, but couldn’t distinguish real from fake at the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, ultimately getting a worthless sword.
Lin Feng was still angry, not having a suitable weapon since the Demon Suppressing Sword and the Divine Sword were both taken by mysterious persons, bewildered about what to do.
At this time, the white-clothed long-haired ghost absorbing essence and blood drifted forward to attack Lin Feng. Even with Lin Feng’s physical excellence, it couldn’t withstand the ghost’s harm.
The damage from ghosts is bizarre and exceptional, possessing Underworld energy, hitting no matter how strong one’s quality is, instantly making Lin Feng unbearably cold.
Lin Feng saw his skin turning bluish-green and, with wide eyes and open mouth, began shouting at Hua Shengmi: "What exactly is this thing, why is my skin turning ghostly too?"
Hua Shengmi snapped back at Lin Feng: "Hmph, disdain me and you suffer more!"
"You can’t do this, hey..." Lin Feng saw Hua Shengmi refusing to help, his heart suddenly felt empty, but at that moment there was no room for Lin Feng’s hesitation because the next second, the white-clothed long-haired ghost was already before him.
Seeing the situation was unfavorable, Lin Feng did not want his essence to be consumed by the two ghosts, and in panic, remembered the Light Technique, decomposed from the Holy Light Technique.
When the long-haired ghost grabbed Lin Feng, its hair choked his throat, making it difficult to breathe, no matter how Lin Feng struggled, unable to escape.
At this moment, the white ghost’s mouth extended two tentacles, trying to drill into Lin Feng’s eyes.
Lin Feng couldn’t pinch the Seal Technique, only staring wide-eyed as the ghost prepared to blind him. At that moment, an unparalleled energy surged from Lin Feng’s body, extinguishing the ghost’s hair.
Lin Feng fell to the ground, then said to Hua Shengmi: "You said you wouldn’t help me, what’s this then?"
Hua Shengmi replied smugly: "I don’t want to expend my energy healing your eyes; it’s much more cost-effective to destroy the ghost’s hair."
Lin Feng knew Hua Shengmi’s stiff mouth, but she actually feared Lin Feng getting hurt, forcibly activating True Yuan, though this risked Lin Feng facing danger. Yet compared to the ghost, the risk was much lesser.
Upon landing, the ghost let out a howl. Lin Feng knew the previous strike dealt significant damage to the ghost.
Now was the time to push forward and use the Light Technique.
Lin Feng pinched the Seal Technique, instantly prompting the Light Technique from Li Feng’s hand, emitting a dazzling bright light brighter than daylight.
Shrouded in white light, the ghost started wailing painfully, as if it were burning in fire, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
The wail spread a long distance, a team of tiger hunters out at night heard the ghost howl, one of them spoke to the leader: "What the hell is this!"
The leader softly said: "Quickly, come here, the sound came from the direction of the ruined temple, I believe it’s the ghost that captured villagers howling." The hunters were skilled at locating sounds.
Another hurriedly spoke to the hunter man: "What are we waiting for then, why not use the sound to find and rescue my wife and brothers now!" The man was excited.
The person who initially spoke to the leader immediately said: "Why rush, it’s not just your family harmed by the ghost, our family and over a dozen other villagers’ relatives were victims too. You think you can fight it? It’s a ghost, not a black bear!"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, thinking if they could have eliminated the ghost, they wouldn’t have endured for half a year.
The hunter leader suggested: "How about this, let’s go back tonight, and tomorrow morning we find the place the sound came from?"
After some discussion, they agreed with the leader’s plan.
At this moment, Lin Feng forcibly used the Light Technique, drawing energy stored in the Innate Spiritual Seed to use it. The Light Technique is a Six Spirit Knot spell excellent at dispelling ghosts.
Having used the spell, Lin Feng’s meridians instantly operated at overload, releasing the spell and feeling utterly exhausted.
After using the Light Technique, the other ghost was severely wounded by the bright light representing daylight, its spirit on the verge of collapse, escaping without taking captured people.
Lin Feng chased a few steps forward, his head suddenly feeling dizzy, his vision darkened, and he collapsed heavily to the ground.
This was the risk Hua Shengmi worried about, hence, she didn’t interfere unless in extreme crisis.
She urgently called out to Lin Feng: "Lin boy, wake up, Lin boy, you can’t sleep..." In the end, Hua Shengmi could only compromise, letting him sleep, hoping no danger arises.
