At that moment, the drawbridge was raised. The City Lord's Mansion's priority was the safety of the inner city. The young people who had already gone out had nothing to do with them.
The souls of many giant crocodiles in the moat were biting and devouring each other. Every time it swallowed a companion, the Ghost Qi on its body would increase a little. Several of the crocodile souls swallowed their companions one after another, and their bodies grew larger and larger. Ghost Qi swirled around his body, and his eyes emitted a scarlet glow. From an illusory spirit body, it gradually transformed into a physical state.
Because they had swallowed enough ghost energy, they had actually become ghost beasts. The soul of a human martial artist could become a ghost cultivator with combat power by absorbing ghost energy. The same principle applied to Demonic Beasts. They could become powerful Demonic Beasts by devouring large amounts of Ghost Qi.
Although the Giant Crocodile Demonic Beast was powerful when it was alive, it was unable to advance by devouring its companions. Now that they were dead, their souls were even more ferocious. They even devoured their companions. Three of the Giant Crocodile souls had been promoted to Giant Crocodile Ghost Beasts. Its size increased by more than ten times, and the dense Ghost Qi condensed together to form a new iron armor.
"Roar roar roar …"
These three giant crocodile ghost beasts were not in a hurry to attack the city. Instead, they rushed towards the young martial artists who were panning for gold. They were attracted by the young martial artist's lively aura and moved very quickly.
"Escape!"
Bi Yun saw that the situation was not good. No wonder her brother Du did not want to come out. It was simply too dangerous to come out. Luckily, they weren't too close to the moat. Several of the young martial artists from the inner city had already been killed. He used an Earth Escape Technique and hid himself underground.
"Sandstorm filled the sky."
Master Feng Leizi could not care about picking up the leftovers anymore. A gust of wind blew, and sand and dust flew everywhere, floating into the air. He hid himself in a grain of sand in the air to avoid being attacked by the giant crocodile.
"Help! Why did you retract the drawbridge?"
"Hurry up and lower the drawbridge. We want to go in."
The youths who came out from the inner city finally managed to collect some good stuff. Now that they saw the Giant Crocodile Ghost Beast appear, they all wanted to quickly escape back to the inner city. But at this moment, the drawbridge of the inner city was retracted. The area above the moat was a no-fly zone. They couldn't fly even if they wanted to.
There were a few youngsters who felt that their leg strength was not bad. He tried to jump to the top of the city wall. As a result, as soon as he jumped up, he was swallowed by the Giant Crocodile. After devouring fresh flesh and blood, the body of the Giant Crocodile Ghost Beast became more solid.
"Damn you!"
Seeing this situation, the ghost servant cursed angrily. Originally, those wandering souls were his food. Now that the giant crocodile ghost beast had appeared, its mouth was even bigger than his. It sucked and swallowed all the dead and alive along the way.
"Be careful, one at a time."
Lanting Pavilion was closed, and Du Feng could not go out to help. He sent a sound transmission to the ghost servant, telling him to be careful. The giant crocodile ghost beasts had to be dealt with one by one, and they had to start with the weakest one.
"Awooo … Awooo …"
Nine golden skulls flew out with a whistling sound. All of them pounced on a kind of giant crocodile ghost beast and used their teeth to bite desperately. The armor formed from Ghost Qi was much sturdier than he had imagined. The nine golden skulls bit at it at the same time. Sparks flew everywhere, but they couldn't break through its defense.
"Damn it, look at the blade."
Seeing that this method wasn't working, the ghost servant retracted his golden skull and slashed at the giant crocodile ghost beast. This saber was made by Du Feng using magic artifact materials, so it shouldn't be unable to break through the defense, right?
"Clang!"
Things were not as simple as he had imagined. The Giant Crocodile Ghost Beast was not lying there passively waiting to be beaten. Its huge tail swept out and directly hit the surface of the saber. One of the ghost servant's arms was numb, and the hand holding the saber was so weak that it couldn't exert any strength.
"What's that thing under the city wall?"
On top of the city tower in the inner city, many city guards were also watching the battle. They didn't care about those young people who had died. They were usually young masters who spent a lot of money. This time, they would also let them have a taste of terror.
"It seems that the soul of the giant crocodile has turned into a ghost beast. It's quite fierce. Should we report this to the City Lord?"
The guards who stayed behind in the inner city could be considered to be the lucky ones. This was because the city guards in the outer city were basically all dead. If they hadn't been used to fire the city defense crossbows, they probably wouldn't have been left in the inner city.
"Don't worry, I think that Red Ghost is also quite powerful."
Because the ghost servant was wearing a red armor, he was regarded as Red Ghost. Others didn't know that it was Du Feng's ghost servant, they thought that it was a ghost cultivator who had died and was currently fighting against the Giant Crocodile Ghost Beast. Even if the martial artists of the outer city died, their instinct was to protect their home.
The city guards wanted to see what the result of the fight between Red Ghost and the Giant Crocodile Ghost Beast would be. In any case, they had already put away the drawbridge and were hiding in the inner city. At most, they would call the captain over and use the True Essence Cannon to bombard them a few times. No matter how many evil spirits there were outside, it wasn't as dangerous as when the beast tide attacked. Most of them were illusory spirit bodies and didn't have the ability to break through the city walls.
"Grandpa will play with you."
Seeing that he couldn't resist, the ghost servant changed his method. He had been with Du Feng for a long time and had learned to be smart. He used his drifting identity and ran around the Giant Crocodile Ghost Beast. From time to time, he would use his saber to poke, specifically attacking the gap between the scales of the Giant Crocodile.
The gap was very small, and normally, it couldn't be hurt at all. But under the intentional poking, the gap became bigger and bigger. After a while, an iron scale was torn off.
"Roar! Roar!"
The scales were torn off, and the Giant Crocodile Ghost Beast roared in pain. It wanted to summon its companions to help, but the two companions were busy devouring the ghosts and evil spirits in the city, busy improving their own strength, and had no time to pay attention to it. The ghost servant seized the opportunity and continued to attack. After a while, the circle of scales on the Giant Crocodile Ghost Beast's neck was torn off.
"Not bad, kid, you've improved."
Seeing the ghost servant's behavior, Du Feng smiled in satisfaction. That's more like it, his ghost servant had a brain. The Giant Crocodile Ghost Beast's strongest defense, the iron scales, had been torn off, and the next step was to behead it.
"Hey!"
The ghost servant found an opportunity and with a loud shout, he leaped up high and fiercely chopped down on the Giant Crocodile Ghost Beast's neck.
