Chapter 42: Ghost

Darkness.

Endless darkness.

Spinning.

Endless spinning.

After spinning in the fog tide for a while, Zhang Xingyu felt dizzy and finally couldn't help but faint.

When he woke up again, his body couldn't help but tremble.

Pitch black in front of him, the air was cold.

Where is this?

He struggled to sit up, fumbled, and took out the fire starter from his bosom.

Unscrewed the lid, blew a few times hard, but the fire starter didn't light up.

Damn!

Zhang Xingyu put away the fire starter, stood up carefully, and tried to walk forward two steps.

"Crack!"

His sole stepped on something, and a crisp sound came from the sole of his foot.

Zhang Xingyu squatted down, touched it with his hand, and then pulled his hand back as if electrocuted.

Bones.

Cold bones.

Tried to continue walking forward, the "crack" sound under his feet kept coming.

"What kind of ghost place is this? Bones everywhere." Zhang Xingyu cursed softly.

"Woo woo woo woo..."

A sinister sound came from the void, making one's hair stand on end.

Zhang Xingyu shivered.

"Who? Who is crying?" Zhang Xingyu shouted, emboldening himself.

"Who? Who is crying..." The sound echoed all around.

No one answered him. Except for the echo, there was only the wooing crying sound drifting from nowhere.

His little heart immediately tightened into a ball, his nerves tense as if they were about to snap at any moment.

Although his anti-horror value was not low, in his previous life he skipped classes to accompany female classmates to watch horror movies, and there were many such horror scenes in the movies.

However, after all, there was a girl he liked sitting beside him at that time, and his mind was mostly on that girl, so he didn't feel much horror from the movie.

Now being on the scene, experiencing it personally, this kind of horror feeling is naturally incomparable.

He really wanted to sing a song to embolden himself. But I don't know why, he couldn't remember a single lyric.

The air seemed to become colder and more biting.

Zhang Xingyu's legs kept trembling.

So I'm not a brave person. He mocked himself.

He fumbled forward for a distance, and suddenly a green light ball appeared in front of his eyes.

This light ball danced in mid-air, making a "woo woo woo woo" sobbing sound.

So it was this light ball that caused the trouble.

I don't know what these light balls are, they actually create horror movie scenes.

Seeing the green light ball, hearing the wooing sobbing sound, Zhang Xingyu's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

He was just about to ask the system big brother what this thing was, but found that the green light ball was pouncing towards him rapidly.

What ghost?

Zhang Xingyu's heart tightened again, and he reached out to pull out the three-star Dharma saber on his back.

The light ball approached.

Zhang Xingyu didn't dare to be slow, and swung his saber with a wave.

The Dharma saber hit the target, and the light ball split into two halves.

However, before he could be happy, the two halves of the light ball split by the saber merged together again.

Can't be cut to death?

Zhang Xingyu was puzzled in his heart.

"I really don't believe in this evil today!"

Zhang Xingyu roared low while swinging his saber to cut again.

The light ball split and merged.

After a while, the color of the light ball began to dim.

Perhaps it was afraid, it no longer pounced towards Zhang Xingyu.

The light ball circled in the air, and the sound it made became sharp.

With its scream, a series of lonely wolf howling sounds suddenly sounded all around.

Careless, this guy is calling for support.

Sure enough, before long, groups of green light balls surged from all directions.

These light balls, big as watermelons, small as peas, neither big nor small like fists.

Bad!

Zhang Xingyu shouted, turned, and ran.

However, he stumbled and hadn't run a few steps before he was surrounded by these light balls.

Humans can't outrun light after all.

The light balls scrambled to pounce on Zhang Xingyu.

Zhang Xingyu turned into a green giant in seconds.

His body was covered with green light balls. These light balls turned into mouths one after another, biting hard on Zhang Xingyu's skin.

Damn!

Could it be that these ghost things want to eat people.

Zhang Xingyu was terrified in his heart.

Not painful.

Just as the light balls bit towards Zhang Xingyu, his skin emitted a faint golden light.

At the same time, a small whirlpool appeared in the center of his eyebrows, sucking all the light balls nearby into his God Court.

Zhang Xingyu was stunned.

At this moment, the system's prompt sound kept ringing in his mind.

"Ding dong, heart connected, service forever, God Domain System serves you wholeheartedly. Host obtained a wisp of divine soul, converted into one God Yuan Value."

"Ding dong, heart connected, service forever, God Domain System serves you wholeheartedly. Host obtained a wisp of divine soul, converted into one God Yuan Value."

"..."

A quarter of an hour later, the green light balls attached to Zhang Xingyu's body were all gone.

Zhang Xingyu touched his body, arms normal, thighs normal, appearance normal.

For the sake of insurance, it's better to ask the system big brother to help with a comprehensive physical examination.

"System, system, calling system!" Zhang Xingyu called.

"Ding dong, heart connected, service forever, God Domain System serves you wholeheartedly. Host, why are you calling me for nothing? Don't you know that answering your questions consumes this system's God Yuan Value?" I don't know why, but today the system's voice carried dissatisfaction.

Zhang Xingyu chuckled: "System, didn't I just contribute a lot of God Yuan Value. By the way, what the hell were those green light balls just now?"

"Ding dong, heart connected, service forever, God Domain System serves you wholeheartedly. The green light balls just now were wandering souls, also known as ghosts." The system's voice returned to its usual mechanical coldness, unhurried.

"System big brother, didn't we agree not to bring advertisement slogans?"

"Uh." The system was silent for a long time.

"They bit me just now, it won't have any effect on me, right?" Zhang Xingyu continued to ask.

"No. With this system protecting you, it won't cause any harm to your body." This sentence, the system actually didn't bring an advertisement slogan.

"Progress, system!" Zhang Xingyu praised.

With the system big brother's guarantee, Zhang Xingyu completely let go of his heart.

Hehe.

Ghosts are not only harmless to him, but also give extra God Yuan Value.

If I can get more, my God Yuan Value will surely rise "swish swish swish".

God Yuan Value is a precious thing, it's not easy to get. Thinking back, I was intercepted by the system big brother many times, and I only barely got twelve God Yuan Values after risking my life.

Yes, I'll wander around, see if I can bump into a few more groups.

Decided, Zhang Xingyu started his ghost-bumping journey.

The target to bump into is ghosts.

"Crack crack!"

The sound of broken bones is no longer scary, Zhang Xingyu's footsteps are very light.

Searching in the direction the ghosts came from for half an hour, his eyes lit up again.

Ghosts.

A large group of ghosts.

How many God Yuan Values should such a large group of ghosts contribute?

Zhang Xingyu rushed towards the ghosts quickly.

Come on, come eat me. Ghosts, brother is a piece of fresh meat, a piece of super fresh meat.

At the same time, a ghost also discovered Zhang Xingyu.

Wow, such a big piece of fat meat, fragrant, if it could be paired with some garlic sprouts, it would be great.

Both sides had green light in their eyes, and accelerated their speed at the same time.

A moment later, Zhang Xingyu and the ghosts successfully merged.

"Ding dong, host obtained a wisp of divine soul, converted into one God Yuan Value."

With the first ghost taking the lead, other ghosts also scrambled to throw themselves into his arms.

"Ding dong, host obtained a wisp of divine soul, converted into one God Yuan Value."

"Ding dong, host obtained a wisp of divine soul, converted into one God Yuan Value."

Zhang Xingyu felt so beautiful in his heart, like eating a big piece of ice cream on a hot summer day.

What a simple and kind group of ghosts, they contributed one hundred and fifty God Yuan Values to him at once.

Unexpectedly, coming to Death Valley to adventure this time, I got more than three hundred God Yuan Values in less than half a day.

Death Valley is a treasure land.

Set a small goal today, strive to get one thousand points.

Yes! You heard it right! It's one thousand points.

With one thousand God Yuan Values, I can use the Ruyi Sun-Shooting Bow twice.

Carrying beautiful dreams, Zhang Xingyu started the hunting journey again.

More than ten hours passed, he was so tired he couldn't lift his legs.

He sat on the cold ground, gasping for breath while clearing his head.

These ten-plus hours, he was almost numb from listening to the system's prompt sound.

Five hundred and ninety-eight points.

Time is short, task is more than half done.

Not bad! Come on! Work hard! Oligei!

Zhang Xingyu took out the dry food from his pocket, ate a few bites, and started walking again.

All around was still pitch black, the air was still so cold, but Zhang Xingyu's heart was surging with blood.

The sound of broken bones under his feet sounded so wonderful. When there is free time next time, I must use my eleventh-grade literary level to compose a poem for this bone-cracking song.

Hope is beautiful, disappointment is big.

Another few hours passed, but he didn't meet a single ghost.

Strange!

Could it be that the ghosts here were eaten to extinction by me?

Zhang Xingyu rubbed his hands, stiffened his face, and walked forward.

Turned a corner, passed through a hole.

An empty and flat space appeared in front.

The air here seemed to be freezing. The red light here blinded his eyes.

Right in the center of this space, there was a big hole four or five meters in diameter. Dazzling red light shot out from inside the hole, illuminating the entire space red.

A hole is glowing. Could there be treasure inside?

Zhang Xingyu was puzzled. As an amateur explorer, he firmly believed in a basic exploration rule.

Safety first, treasure second.

Usually, the place where treasure is most likely to be hidden is the most dangerous.

Of course, as an amateur explorer, he also firmly believed in another basic exploration rule.

Not exploring when there is treasure is definitely a fool.

Therefore, he carefully checked his equipment several times, and after confirming there were no omissions, he carefully stepped towards the glowing big hole.

His steps were very light, his movements very small, and it took a full quarter of an hour to reach the vicinity of the big hole.

Everything was normal, the expected danger did not appear.

He carefully poked his head to check.

The hole was pitted, like a honeycomb.

The red light in the hole was dazzling, and the bottom was blurry.

He thought for a moment and didn't continue to move forward. Now is the time to send out the pathfinding pioneer.

He saw him pick up a cold broken bone, and then threw it accurately into the hole.

"One, two, three, four, five... twenty-one, twenty-two."

Counted twenty-two in his heart, heard a "pop" buzzing sound.

That was the broken bone hitting the bottom of the hole.

This hole is so deep!

I don't know what ghost is in this hole?

Should I go down or not?

Go down, there might be danger.

Don't go down, you have to spin around here.

Exploration rule number three, explore explore, not exploring is also dangerous.

Zhang Xingyu thought for a moment, and decided to go down and investigate.

Clinging tightly to the small pits on the wall of the hole, climbing down step by step.

"Boom, boom."

Just climbed down more than twenty meters, a tidal roar suddenly came from the bottom of the hole.

"Bad!"

Zhang Xingyu looked around, and happened to find a three-foot-high cave three or four zhang away below him. There seemed to be something in the cave, and the red light emitted was particularly dazzling.

Without thinking, Zhang Xingyu climbed down quickly, and then cat-waisted into the cave.

Just as he drilled into the entrance of the hole, streams of black airflow surged past behind him, and the huge sound made his ears deaf.

So dangerous! ===== CHAPTER 43 =====
