This eerie scene made even the experienced Yang Shao’s heart tremble.
This evil spirit had previously been barely within his control, but now its power had soared to an astonishing level.
“There are still six such ghosts and he is only one of the strongest in this dungeon? It’s worthy of being a near-high-level dungeon. And this is after all of us have lost our memories, weakening the dungeon’s strength.” Cold sweat broke out on Yang Shao’s forehead.
“I heard that if you’re lucky enough in a near-high-level dungeon, you can gain incredible power and become a fully advanced player. But if you don’t become stronger, even barely reaching high-level status will be difficult to survive.”
The ghost seemed unaware of Yang Shao’s presence and continued to pace around the kitchen, a creepy smile on its face.
The sobbing grew louder around him, and he could faintly hear the pleading of other ghosts within the ghost’s body.
At this moment, Yang Shao felt a chill on his back, and his body froze. His experience prevented him from turning, but he immediately deployed the protective gear in his arms. At that moment, a protective shield suddenly expanded around Yang Shao, and a scream rang out. Suddenly, a ghost, who had been hiding behind Yang Shao, revealed its true form and gazed at him fearfully.
The commotion immediately caught the attention of the fierce ghost, who turned and looked at Yang Shao as if he were a dead man.
Yang Shao glanced at the weak, mewling ghost behind him and felt truly utterly devastated! If he had known this would happen, he would have been more cautious! He had wasted a defensive item on such a weak ghost.
Furthermore, Yang Shao couldn’t push this ghost away. In his experience, giving it a head at this point would only cause the fierce ghost to absorb the last ghost and become extremely powerful!
Gu Wuji and Xiao Qin, the two amnesiacs, were probably no longer reliable. In Yang Shao’s mind, the other two teammates, who were sleeping like dead pigs, were already as good as dead.
“You think I’m afraid of you just because you’re a fierce ghost?” Yang Shao was furious, ready to charge and fight the ghost.
The red dress he wore not only intimidated other ghosts but also enhanced his strength. With some tools, he could temporarily hold his own against the evil spirit.
The two engaged in a confrontation, but Yang Shao discovered that the other ghosts within the spirit’s body were proving more difficult to deal with. Though these ghosts were in immense pain, they uncontrollably listened to the spirit’s commands, struggling to break free and attack Yang Shao.
Countless hands clawed at him. If it weren’t for the red dress’s pressure, Yang Shao would have been dead by now.
Even with Yang Shao’s formidable strength, he couldn’t handle so many ghosts simultaneously. Furthermore, the red dress wasn’t infallible. It was clear that with time, these ghosts would inevitably break through this last line of defense. Realizing this, his face darkened to the point of utter dismay. “Damn it! Am I going to die here today?”
At this critical moment, Gu Wuji burst through the door, followed by a panting Xiao Qin.
The moment he saw the scene before him, Xiao Qin felt the greatest shock he had experienced since arriving in the village. For a moment, everyone was stunned and stood still.
But Gu Wuji, eager to save someone, didn’t look closely, he just noticed a muscular man grappling with Yang Shao. He immediately realized his suspicions were correct: the bodyguard had barged in, intent on silencing Yang Shao!
“Wait, let me save you!”
In the dim light outside the doorway, Gu Wuji’s determined expression caught Yang Shao’s eye.
To be honest, Yang Shao was deeply moved. After all, this amnesiac, who thought he was an ordinary person, Gu Wuji, had repeatedly saved him… At first, Yang Shao simply thought Gu Wuji was a fool, but after a few times, he realized he was truly a kind and good person. Yang Shao hadn’t seen such a person in ages. After all, the players entering the dungeon were struggling to survive on their own, so it was a good thing if they didn’t try to cheat others, let alone save others. Even Yang Shao himself had initially intended to use Gu Wuji and the others as cannon fodder.
Gu Wuji’s behavior reminded Yang Shao of the time when he was a kind-hearted rookie. If he hadn’t met so many vicious teammates, he wouldn’t have reached this point today.
With a sigh, Yang Shao’s affection for Gu Wuji increased sharply, and he didn’t want to see his life end in this place. “Don’t come over! This evil ghost is not something you can deal with! Unless you know some tricks to deal with the evil ghost!”
Xiao Qin suddenly woke up, “Yes, Brother Gu, didn’t we see the magic circle set up by the master upstairs just in case? There happens to be one in the open space outside the kitchen. If we can lure this evil ghost to the outside world…”
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Wuji had already rushed to the side of the evil ghost.
Xiao Qin: “…”
Yang Shao: “…”
Damn, you shouldn’t act so fast to give up your life!
Gu Wuji suddenly grabbed the collar of the evil ghost. The latter turned his head and looked at Gu Wuji with a ferocious expression that could scare a child.
But Gu Wuji was completely indifferent. The only thing that made him feel uneasy was that the bodyguard looked different… Was it some advanced disguise technique?
In short, Gu Wuji looked at the evil spirit in front of him with a distressed expression, “I didn’t expect that just for money, you could do such a cruel thing! Don’t you have any feelings for Yang Shao?”
Yang Shao: “…” Why did he appear here!
Xiao Qin: “???” Yang Shao actually had such a passionate relationship with a ghost?
Evil spirit: “?”
The evil spirit was stunned for a moment. Looking at Gu Wuji’s expression, he almost thought that he had really done something heinous… But this guy obviously recognized the wrong person!
But the evil spirit didn’t care if Gu Wuji had mistaken him. Previously, it hadn’t dared approach Gu Wuji due to its lack of strength, but now that it had devoured these ghosts, it was a far more powerful force than before. Of course, it wanted to kill Gu Wuji as soon as possible. “You’re going to die here today!”
Yang Shao watched the ghosts within the evil spirit struggling to grasp Gu Wuji, his face suddenly darkening. “Be careful! Unless these ghosts are terrified, they won’t be able to escape this evil spirit’s control…”
Gu Wuji suddenly pulled out the kitchen knife just in case.
At the sight of the knife’s gleaming cold light, all the ghosts paused for a moment before abruptly retreating back into the evil spirit’s body.
Yang Shao: “…”
Yang Shao: “WTF?” What was he seeing? Why were all these ghosts so afraid of Gu Wuji?
Even the only ghost that had escaped, the one that had been hiding behind Yang Shao, shrank back in fear, as if Gu Wuji were even scarier than the evil spirit.
What they didn’t know was what had happened when Gu Wuji had just rushed into the kitchen to grab the kitchen knife. This kitchen knife was like a treasure to the house, and the ghosts certainly wouldn’t let anyone take it easily.
They had thought they could scare Gu Wuji away by threatening him, but Gu Wuji remained unmoved, his heart as strong as iron… These ghosts had lived here for so long, and this was the first time they had seen someone with such a strong will.
The ghosts resorted to various tactics, hoping to kill the human, but the situation was bleak. Gu Wuji’s astonishing strength and physical prowess terrified the ghosts.
Not only had he emerged unscathed from being struck by debris, but he had even managed to escape when seized by a ghost. The ghosts then felt as if their bodies were being torn apart, overcome with a visceral fear.
Especially after Gu Wuji took up the kitchen knife, and his aura suddenly changed, it was as if he were its true owner?! He was not human at all!
Gu Wuji had left a deep impression on the ghosts’ minds; if they had to describe him, it would be with one word- perverted. So much so that, even driven by the evil spirit, they refused to confront him.
The evil spirit was stunned, having never expected such a situation, but then, feeling humiliated, it forgot all about Yang Shao and focused on Gu Wuji, intent on swiftly annihilating him.
Gu Wuji’s mentality remained relatively calm. After all, he remembered that the two bodyguards were superficially strong, but physically weak, and he could handle them without much worry.
The evil spirit, imprisoned for decades and barely a child, lacked much experience. Previously, it had relied on commanding other spirits… but this method was no match for Gu Wuji. It attempted to forcibly devour his soul, but found it a dark hole, tinged with a faint, terrifying aura that subconsciously deterred it from touching.
With all its means limited, this powerful spirit was forced to resort to physical combat with Gu Wuji.
Watching the fierce physical confrontation between Gu Wuji and the evil spirit, Yang Shao felt a wave of doubt, but this was no time for hesitation. Gritting his teeth, Yang Shao rushed outside, thinking, “Wait for me! I’ll find a solution soon. Don’t let anything happen to you!”
Xiao Qin, aware of the priorities, had already begun searching the open space outside.
Yang Shao and Xiao Qin quickly located the outer magic circle. After figuring out how to operate it, they anxiously swept away the dust surrounding it, fearing that if they were a moment too late, Gu Wuji would be dead.
After all, no matter how powerful Gu Wuji was, he was only an ordinary man, not to mention suffering from amnesia. So now, he stood no chance against this evil spirit.
With everything almost ready, Yang Shao anxiously said to Gu Wuji, “Quickly lure the ghost here—”
In Yang Shao and Xiao Qin’s minds, they might see a wounded Gu Wuji, but…
The scene that appeared before their eyes, however was Gu Wuji, pinning the evil spirit to the ground and beating it. Though a slender and handsome young man, he delivered one brutal blow after another in the fray, causing the evil spirit to scream.
They both responded, “…”
They felt they would never forget this heroic figure.
