Chapter 198: Calamity Ghost Dragon Zeya La

Having said this, she flew down lightly and pressed her palms against the ground.

As soon as the God of Nature's palms touched the ground, a soft green light spread out from her palms, rapidly seeping into the ground like a green tide.

Wherever the light passed, the rocks on the ground seemed to be imbued with life, beginning to tremble slightly.

A moment later, the ground suddenly became clear and transparent.

Zhou Chu was surprised to find that he was now like someone standing on a glass walkway, able to see the things beneath the ground clearly.

It turned out that this ore vein had a lower level.

No wonder they had searched for so long without finding a single trace.

Through the transparent ground, Zhou Chu could see that below was a space shrouded in black chaotic mist.

Vaguely, one could see purple specks of light, flickering faintly like stars in the dark night.

Zhou Chu could not help but feel a stir in his heart.

Those flickering specks of light were the Soul Crystal Stones.

Since this ore vein had a lower level, those who had gone missing earlier must all be down there.

As for how they got down, Zhou Chu had to go down and investigate to find out.

The God of Nature used her unique ability to manipulate elements to turn the ground transparent, allowing Zhou Chu to discover the hidden lower level of the ore vein.

This meant that there must be a passage to the lower level hidden somewhere here.

However, it seemed there was no need for such trouble; the next moment, the God of Nature tapped the transparent area lightly, and instantly, ripples appeared like the surface of a shimmering lake.

The ripples continued to spread, and immediately after, a circular entrance emitting a soft green light appeared before their eyes.

After finishing all this, the God of Nature returned to Zhou Chu's body once again.

Zhou Chu then sent a message to Li Er, who had scattered to search for clues, and simultaneously recalled his three contract servants back into the Emperor Tomb from afar.

Very quickly, Li Er, riding her rocket thrusters, arrived at high speed.

Seeing that Zhou Chu intended to go down, Li Er said, "Father, wait a moment, let Li Er go down first."

Zhou Chu took a step back, and Li Er leaped forward, jumping straight down.

Before long, a series of eerie, ghost-wailing sounds came from below.

Immediately after, as a patch of chaos was dispersed, several black figures floating in the air lunged at Li Er from within the shadows.

Zhou Chu discovered that these figures were all transformed from incorporeal souls, and their appearances still retained the attire and looks they had in life, though their lower bodies were in a phantom state.

It turned out that under the dual influence of the Calamity and Dark Aura, those who had died in the ore vein earlier had all transformed into undead creatures—wraiths.

They were all S-Grade undead creatures.

Moreover, the Ion Sword in Li Er's hand did not seem to be able to inflict substantial damage on these incorporeal wraiths.

Zhou Chu immediately leaped, jumping down from the hole.

As if subjected to an extremely powerful suppression, these wraiths issued mournful cries one after another; the moment they saw Zhou Chu descend, every wraith's eyes were filled with fear and wariness.

They dared not make any further moves at this moment, standing in mid-air in unison, bowing their heads slightly toward Zhou Chu.

As these wraiths were suppressed by the King of All Witches on Zhou Chu's Life Soul Artifact, they assumed a subservient posture toward Zhou Chu.

At this time, the chaotic mist began to condense continuously, actually solidifying into individual wraiths.

When this mist had completely condensed, wherever Zhou Chu's gaze fell, dense crowds of wraiths stood on the ground, numbering in the hundreds.

After all that, this chaotic mist was actually formed by these wraiths.

Among these wraiths, Zhou Chu discovered the ten elite officers of the First Squad; they had all become products tainted by the Dark Aura.

Although these officers possessed relatively strong power, under the influence of both the Dark Aura and Calamity, they could not hold out in the end.

Zhou Chu looked down at this moment and saw before him a giant tomb built from Soul Crystal Stones.

The tomb lay on the ground like a towering mountain, continuously emitting waves of Calamity Aura, as if it were a Calamity Source Seed that had grown for thousands of years.

Around the tomb were scattered numerous white bones, and even some shriveled corpses.

From these shriveled corpses, Zhou Chu saw those Field Officer-level military ranks emitting a golden light.

It was indeed the Calamity monster that had cast them into the lower level of this ore vein and drained their Soul Power; with their souls unable to find rest, they had eventually turned into wraiths, wandering in this dark lower level of the ore vein.

But at the same time, having turned into wraiths, they seemed to be guarding this huge tomb before them, fending off any intruders who dared to enter.

However, Zhou Chu's arrival caused these wraiths, who should have been guarding the tomb, to feel fear, and they were forced to submit under the suppression of the Life Soul Artifact, the King of All Witches.

Clatter, clatter...

At this time, the sound of rolling stones came from time to time.

He saw that the tomb built from Soul Crystal Stones before him had actually begun to crack slowly.

Streams of black Calamity Aura gushed out from the cracks, accompanied by hair-raising low roars, as if something terrifying was about to break out of the tomb.

With a bang, a part of the tomb was instantly shattered, and a huge, bony Dragon claw broke through the ground.

The next moment, the tomb became like an eggshell that had been crushed, instantly falling to pieces.

A huge body wrapped in black mist slowly stood up from the shattered Soul Crystal Stones, and a large amount of Soul Crystal Stones rolled down as the body rose.

What appeared before his eyes was actually a giant Dragon of immense size, composed of dense black mist and faint, looming bone outlines.

【Description: One of the Abyss Ten Great Evil Demons, transformed from the wraith-qi of the last high-level Black Dragon of the Dragon race, it has become the mount of an Evil God.】

Good heavens.

I never expected that at the lowest level of the Soul Crystal Mine, a King-level Calamity fiend would be hidden.

It turned out to be a Calamity Ghost Dragon, which was once the exclusive mount of an Evil God.

Seeing this colossal creature, Zhou Chu's eyes, which had been glowing from the reflection of the soul crystal ore, mirrored the massive and towering body of the Calamity Ghost Dragon.

Two huge purple flames burned within the Calamity Ghost Dragon's hollow eye sockets, and then it spread its wings, which were condensed from black mist, and flapped them violently, instantly triggering a powerful Hurricane.

This Hurricane was mixed with a decaying aura of death, as if it could scatter a person's soul in an instant.

Fortunately, Zhou Chu had already stacked a hundred layers of Soul Shield on his body in advance; otherwise, he would surely have been blown to pieces.

The Calamity Ghost Dragon did not immediately attack Zhou Chu, but instead looked at Zhou Chu with an expression of great interest, and after a moment, it spoke in human language: "Human, have you come to deliver yourself?"
