Chapter 53: Ghost Wu Kui

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The arrows flew swiftly and the archer moved quickly. The attracted ghosts could not touch the archer at all and were killed one by one.

Although Zhou Yuan became a coolie who cleared monsters on the surface, he actually got more room to play.

The ding ding ding reminder sound kept ringing, which not only meant gaining experience, but also picking up explosive items.

These two kinds of increasing benefits greatly enhanced Zhou Yuan's fighting spirit. He no longer felt bored with clearing out the ghosts, but instead felt extremely excited.

Cheng Fei, the Shangle County Lieutenant, was very surprised when he saw that Zhou Yuan's bow shot an arrow very quickly and that running and returning the arrow did not affect its accuracy.

In his opinion, it is easiest to shoot while standing still, difficult to shoot accurately while riding, and difficult to shoot accurately while moving. He did not expect that Zhou Yuan could still keep hitting the target while running. He is simply a natural born shooter.

"I was planning to teach him archery, but I didn't expect him to be so skilled. Even with my normal shooting skills, I'm afraid I'm no match for him."

"County Lieutenant Cheng, you are joking. My subordinate only knows the art of ordinary archery, not the art of spiritual archery. He is far inferior to the county lieutenant.

If the county lieutenant wants to teach him, why not teach him the art of archery? This way, he can admire the style of his predecessors and not become arrogant.

"Hahaha... Since the Captain has spoken, why not teach him the art of archery?

After all, he is a young man from my hometown. I hope he will become a noble man in the future and never forget his hometown people."

Zhou Yuan, who worked hard to clear the monsters, didn't know that his superior had found him an investment.

The reason why Captain Jing'an valued Zhou Yuan was, firstly, because Zhou Yuan was talented and capable of fighting and conquering, and secondly, because Zhou Yuan was his trusted subordinate.

At least in the Yin Gui Secret Realm, Zhou Yuan is his most trusted person, and the warriors from other counties are far inferior to him.

For this reason, Captain Jing'an was willing to help Zhou Yuan improve his strength, and indirectly strengthen the strength of the entire Jing'an Army.

While Captain Jing'an was chatting with the County Captain Shangle, Zhou Yuan also encountered the first batch of higher-level monsters.

【Level 12 Ghost Warrior】, 【Level 12 Ghost Scribe】

These ghosts with professional labels come from the streets on the left and right sides of the street. The streets are connected to spacious houses, and there are probably some ghost civil and military men inside.

The attack power of those Yin Ghost warriors was much greater than that of ordinary Yin Ghosts. Zhou Yuan only attracted the nearby Yin Ghosts, and they took the initiative to join the pursuit.

They do not attack like ordinary ghosts, but are equipped with weapons such as swords, spears, swords and shields.

Fortunately, the attack judgment of the Ghost Scribe is not sensitive, otherwise Zhou Yuan might attract too many monsters at once and it would be difficult to clean them up quickly.

But even so, he lured the monsters to run and stopped shooting five times before he killed all the 6 ordinary ghosts and 5 ghost warriors who were chasing them.

The Ghost Warriors are worthy of being labeled as monsters with professions. The light balls they explode are not ordinary white, but more conspicuous green light balls.

Zhou Yuan went forward to pick it up and found that an item other than the 'Yin Fluid' had finally dropped.

【Weapon: Yin Blade Spear】

【Introduction: Yin Qi is cast with dark iron, which has both virtual and real aspects. It can be equipped with ghosts and evil spirits, and humans can also hold it.

Note: When a weapon is damaged, its Yin Qi will leak out, and the effect of the accompanying Yin-Cold Poison will be weakened.

【Item: Dark Blood Dew】

【Introduction: The water of the Yellow Spring is turbid, and the liquid of the Styx is red. It resembles blood but is not blood. It nourishes the soul. It is often seen in the netherworld and turns into blood dew in the world of the living.】

【Effect: After use, it will reduce a small amount of health and slightly increase the spirit. It can be used to nourish the spirit, refine elixirs, and cure poisons. It can also be used to restore the health of evil spirits.】

The five ghost warriors provided Zhou Yuan with two Yin Blades and one portion of Nether Blood Dew.

The Yin Blade, which carries the Yin-Cold Poison, is the first special-effect melee weapon he has come into contact with.

It’s hard to say whether this thing is powerful or not, but the black and red gun body covered with a faint gray mist is obviously not an ordinary object.

The effect of the Nether Blood Dew is even more astonishing. The attribute panel indicates that it can be used to make poison, so it seems that its toxicity is still very strong.

It just can't be used against evil spirits. To them, this thing is not only non-toxic, but also a precious medicine for replenishing blood.

Weapons with special effects, items that can be used to make poisons and nourish the mind, once these two things appeared, completely changed Zhou Yuan's rhythm of attracting monsters.

He was no longer satisfied with killing ordinary ghosts, but instead targeted the ghost warriors in the streets and houses, frequently luring them to join the pursuit team.

After two more rounds of this, Jing'an Captain Jiang Ren and Shangle County Captain Cheng Fei also discovered something unusual.

"County Lieutenant Cheng, the demons have come out with swords and spears. I'm afraid the one ahead is either the demon leader or a powerful demon.

Go call the resting warriors into the battle formation. We will first eliminate the dangerous demons, and then use the archer's method to lure them to kill them."

"promise."

As the order was given, nine warriors who were resting at the city gate quickly arrived.

Having left the cold gray fog before, they felt the coldness of the gray fog more intuitively when they entered the ruined market for the second time.

That kind of coldness was not the external cold that would freeze water, but the internal cold that drained away the body's temperature, making them physically uncomfortable but also mentally clear.

"Everyone, Zhou Yuan has already attracted the armed ghosts. Let's go and fight them for a while to see what's hidden in the gathering place of the armed ghosts."

The warrior team rejoined the battlefield, giving Zhou Yuan, who was attracting monsters, space to stand still and output damage.

This is good news. Zhou Yuan also wants to see if there are any elite monsters in the Ghost Warrior's house and whether they can drop better items.

"Zhou Yuan, how strong is the weapon-wielding ghost?"

"Captain, one arrow can kill an ordinary ghost, but two or three arrows are needed to kill a weapon-wielding ghost."

"The gap is so huge, it seems we are approaching the core area of the demon leader.

Everyone, hold your shields and advance. Do not leave your formation during the attack to prevent the ghosts from breaking through the formation and attacking from the front and back."

"promise."

The warriors have excellent military skills. Even if they don't usually cooperate in combat, the military formations they form still advance and retreat in unison without any sign of reluctance.

With the addition of these warriors, not only did more ghosts get attracted, but the flexibility of individual kite tactics was also lost.

But the team cleared monsters faster. Every time they attracted thirty or forty ghosts, they would first retreat twenty steps quickly, and then attack collectively.

With this orderly advance and retreat, the warrior team quickly cleared out the ghosts in the streets and houses.

It was not until he approached the ghost warrior's house that Zhou Yuan discovered two strange words written on the rotten wooden plaque.

That is ghost language, not worldly documents. The two ghost characters "【武奎】" are both arrogant and shabby, and also represent the identity of the owner of the house.

Sure enough, as soon as the warrior team entered the spacious house, Zhou Yuan saw a special ghost.

The ghost not only did not look majestic, but even looked a little petite, but its body that looked like mist and shadow was extremely solid, just like black water gathered into a human.

The most noteworthy thing is its weapon, which is a nine-section hard iron whip similar to a mace.

During the ghost plague in Jing'an City, the only ghost who used this weapon was Painted Skin Manning.

I think that after that pretty beauty sheds her painted skin, she will become this 【Level 14 Yin Gui Wu Kui】.

Among the people present, not only Zhou Yuan had guesses about the identity of the ghost, but Jing'an Captain Jiang Ren also discovered something unusual.

"I recognize it. Although its appearance is very different now, that iron whip cannot be fake."

"Everyone, be careful, this ghost is very vicious, don't get hit by that iron whip.

We will surround and attack them and eliminate the threat as soon as possible."
