Chapter 2531
byThe discussions of these people naturally reached Yang Kai’s ears. Instead of feeling relieved, his expression became even more solemn. He asked in a low voice, “Old Ban, when the wind howls, the ghosts will definitely not come out?”
Old Ban said solemnly, “Under normal circumstances, they won’t. Because the power of the gāng fēng is extremely strong, even the ghosts here are difficult to resist. If they come out rashly, they are very likely to be blown to pieces. But…”
“But what？”
“But nothing is absolute. The reason why the ghosts don’t come out when the wind howls is not because they can’t, but because they don’t want to. I have encountered such a situation once. But this kind of thing is very rare. So little brother, you can…”
Old Ban’s eyes suddenly widened, staring straight at the entrance of the cave with a horrified expression on his face, because suddenly more than a dozen translucent figures rushed out from the strange fog.
Those figures took on a human shape, but they were a bit blurry, making it not very clear to distinguish.
But no matter which figure it was, it exuded an extremely violent and cold aura.
As soon as these more than a dozen translucent figures rushed out of the strange fog, they all opened their mouths and let out a fierce howl, and the blurry facial features instantly became hideous, as if they were going to choose someone to devour.
“Damn it, they are yin souls, and they really rushed over. Whose crow’s mouth is so accurate！”
“Everyone be careful！”
At the entrance of the cave, several warriors suddenly shouted and screamed in an instant. They no longer dared to sit cross-legged on the spot and they all rose up to defend themselves.
These few people were all at the outermost edge of the cave, so as soon as these yin souls rushed out, these people were the first to bear the brunt. With no way to advance or retreat, they could only struggle to resist.
In an instant, rays of light burst out from the hands of these people, and secret treasures were sacrificed rumbling towards those yin souls.
These few people could seize a place in this cave, so naturally they were not mediocre hands. But at this moment their attacks on these ghosts did not have much effect. They only slightly stagnated those translucent figures, and not a single one was killed.
“Not good. These are all Ghost General-level.” Someone’s complexion changed drastically and exclaimed.
Ghost creatures also have levels, from ordinary ghosts to Ghost Generals and Ghost Marshals, and even Ghost Kings. The strength increases level by level.
Ordinary ghosts are not very powerful. Even martial artists like Old Ban can easily deal with them. But once Ghost Generals or Ghost Marshals appear, it is not something that Old Ban can easily resist. And that Ghost King is even the overlord in the passage of the ancient land, and even the Emperor Venerable Realm dare not underestimate it.
Previously when the Ghost King made a move, Old Ban and Zhang Ruoxi had no power to resist at all. If it weren’t for Yang Kai’s protection beside them, the two of them would definitely not even know how they died.
So once they heard that these were all Ghost General-level ghosts, the martial artists in the cave all had their complexions change drastically and felt in danger.
All the attacks falling on these Ghost Generals could not cause fatal damage to them. They only paused slightly and then pounced more ferociously.
However, the few people at the cave entrance were obviously those who had lived in the ancient land all year round and had a lot of experience in dealing with these ghost creatures. They were all ready, with solemn expressions. When those Ghost Generals approached within one zhang of their sides, they suddenly burst out with soul energy and released their soul attacks.
One after another, invisible forces fiercely hit those Ghost Generals.
Accompanied by shrill and miserable cries, most of these Ghost Generals were wiped out in an instant. The few that were still alive also had dim lights on their bodies and were obviously seriously injured. However, these Ghost Generals had no spiritual intelligence. Even if they were severely injured, they still pounced with their teeth and claws bared and a fierce look on their faces.
Another round of the burst of spiritual soul power and the remaining few Ghost Generals also met the same fate as their previous companions.
The few martial artists at the cave entrance couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief when they saw this.
Although with their cultivation levels, they were not afraid of these Ghost Generals, but now they were avoiding the Wind Howl and naturally didn’t want any twists and turns. Youdaoplaceholder1 the number of these Ghost Generals was not large and they were easily eliminated.
“There are more！” Yang Kai’s expression suddenly turned serious and he shouted in a low voice.
“What？” The few people at the cave entrance all changed their expressions. Before they could even ask clearly, they already understood what Yang Kai meant.
Because from the strange fog, another batch of Ghost Generals rushed out, and the violent and cruel smell was exactly the same as the previous batch.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
More and more Yin Souls appeared. Thesmell on these Yin Souls varied in strength. Some were ordinary Yin Souls, some were Ghost Generals, and there were even Ghost Commanders among them.
In just the blink of an eye, the entire outside of the cave entrance was tightly surrounded by these Yin Souls. The densely packed of translucent figures were countless, giving people an illusion of falling into the Underworld.
“Gudong！”
Sounds of gulping saliva rang out one after another, and everyone watched the entrance of the cave with an ugly expression on their faces, extremely uneasy in their hearts.
“How… could this be！”
“When the wind howls, why would there be so many ghosts and monsters coming out.”
“What on earth is going on.”
“Stop talking nonsense. If you don’t want to die, kill them quickly.”
Everyone who had originally calmed down exclaimed in surprise, unable to believe what they saw. While they were hesitating, those ghosts and monsters had already launched a new attack.
The few people at the entrance of the cave had no choice but to desperately urge their own soul power and use source power to kill those ghosts. The soul power burst out continuously.
The shrill screams rose and fell one after another. One after another, the ghosts vanished into thin air, but these ghosts seemed to be inexhaustible. The few people at the entrance of the cave killed for a while. Although the results were abundant, they helplessly found that those ghosts not only did not decrease, but the more they killed the more there were.
This situation made them almost desperate!
The most effective way to kill these ghosts is to wait for them to approach and then use soul power. However, soul power is not inexhaustible. Every time it is used it consumes a huge amount. Once there is no subsequent strength there is only waiting for death.
Moreover, if the soul power is overused, it is very likely to damage the foundation, which is something that no warrior wants to encounter.
It was only a matter of a cup of tea’s time before the complexions of those several people at the cave entrance paled, and each of them was soaked in cold sweat, clearly having consumed a great deal.
“Brothers behind, please make a move to help. We are about to be unable to hold on any longer.”
“That’s right. Why don’t you guys make a move quickly? If we die, the next batch will be you. If the skin is gone, where will the hair attach to?”
“Who can take over for me for a while? I need to rest for a while. My soul power is almost exhausted. I would be extremely grateful.”
……
Inside the cave, the remaining eight or nine people all had solemn expressions upon hearing this. Although everyone understood the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold, in this critical moment, who would dare to go up and replace someone? What if when their own soul power was exhausted and no one replaced them, wouldn’t they die a terrible death?
After all, man is for himself, or else he will be punished by heaven and earth.
So although everyone had a solemn expression, not a single person made any indication, let alone replacing those several people at the cave entrance.
“Old Ban, do you think it could be…” Yang Kai suddenly quietly looked at Old Ban and asked via voice transmission.
Upon hearing this, Old Ban only needed to think for a moment to understand what he meant and slightly nodded, saying, “It’s possible.”
When the wind howls, ghosts generally don’t come out. But the current situation is impossible to explain. Moreover, looking at the posture of these ghosts, it seems that they are staring at this cave, as if they have a feud with someone here.
This inevitably made Yang Kai is associated with the previous Ghost King!
The Ghost King suffered a loss at his hands. There’s a high possibility that the current situation is related to it. Since the Ghost King knows it’s no match for Yang Kai, it might be taking this opportunity to mobilize the ghosts in the passage to trap Yang Kai here and kill him.
Although Yang Kai is powerful, at this moment, he has no way to escape. As long as the ghosts keep attacking here, there will always be a moment when Yang Kai can be killed.
If this is really the case, then Yang Kai is the chief culprit, and the others are just being implicated.
Just as Yang Kai and Old Ban were communicating secretly, a person in the cave suddenly stood up and shouted, “Everyone, at this critical moment of life and death, if we want to save our lives, we should work together.”
“That’s right, we should definitely work together！ It’s rare for this brother to be so understanding. Come and help me block for a while. I’m willing to offer 20 million source crystals as a reward！” A Dao Source Third Layer Realm cultivator at the cave entrance quickly replied. His face was pale, and it seemed that he couldn’t hold on for much longer. He wished he could grab the person who spoke right away and then go rest himself.
The person who spoke looked at him and said loudly, “Friend, wait a moment. Let me discuss it carefully with everyone. It won’t take much time.”
“What the hell are we still discussing? If we discuss any further, we’re going to die.”
“Hmph, we’re blocking here, while you people are reaping the benefits. There’s no such good thing in the world！ If you don’t come over and help, don’t blame me for letting some ghosts in.”
“That’s right. If we’re going to die, we’ll all die together. No one can expect to survive alone！”
Upon hearing this, the man furrowed his brows and said, “Everyone, please don’t be impatient. Please give me thirty breaths of time, and I will definitely come up with a plan that satisfies you.”
As soon as these words came out, the few martial artists who were vigorously killing the ghosts at the cave entrance stopped clamoring and making nois. Because this person’s words sounded very sincere, they all wanted to know what he was going to say.
Moreover, they could hold on for thirty breaths of time.
Seeing that the others had no objections, the man once again bowed and said, “This humble one is Qi Hefeng from Qijia Fort. Nice to meet all of you friends!”
“Qijia Fort！” Yang Kai’s heart moved, and he turned his head to look at Qi Hefeng, just in time to meet the gaze he cast over here.
Under the gaze of their four eyes, Qi Hefeng smiled slightly at Yang Kai.
Yang Kai couldn’t help but sniff and thought to himself, could this guy recognize him？ Otherwise, why would he show such a smile.
“So it turns out to be a friend from Qijia Fort. I’ve long heard of you！”
As soon as Qi Hefeng reported his origin, many people showed a sudden realization, and it seemed that they had long heard of Qijia Fort. After all, Qijia Fort was also an excellent force near the ancient land and had some prestige to some extent.
Qi Hefeng didn’t say any unnecessary words and went straight to the point, “The current situation, I believe you all can see. If those friends really exhaust their strength and die, then the next batch to be attacked will surely be us. These ghostly things seem to be continuous, and we don’t know how many there are. If we really let them pick us off one by one, I estimate that not many of us present can survive.”
“So I beg you all to put aside your personal prejudices, cooperate sincerely, and work together to resist. Only in this way can there be a glimmer of hope for survival！”
