"Younger Brother Liu, don't you want to take a rest?" Man surnamed Min threw a glance at Liu Ming and asked calmly.
"I'm not very tired. I can still stand it." Liu Ming smiled faintly.
His spiritual strength was far more powerful than that of the same level. Besides, he had the help of mind imitation insect, so he didn't feel too tired.
At this moment, Liu Ming took out a Jade Slips and injected his spiritual sense into it.
This was a map that he bought at a high price in a shop in Golden Light City, which contained a lot of information collected from other Sect forces. It was much more detailed than the map provided by the Sect.
According to the previous distribution of the 3 squads, they had explored 1/3 of this place. The other 2 squads should also do the same. However, the 3 squads hadn't found anything yet.
When Liu Ming was pondering, Scorpion's hasty voice came from the soul-recovering bag on his waist,
"Master, there's a ghost hiding underground. It's approaching us."
"Be careful underground!"
Liu Ming was horrified. His eyes instantly stared at the hilly land dozens of feet away, and he shouted loudly.
Before he finished his words, an earth-shaking loud sound "Boom" was heard.
The ground within dozens of meters in front of him suddenly collapsed, leaving a big hole. A black shadow darted out like a lightning bolt. It was a huge grey lizard.
The head of the beast was as large as a millstone. It opened its bloody mouth and bit at the Man With A Red Bow who was meditating with his eyes closed.
The moment Liu Ming reminded the 4 people who were meditating, they had already woken up.
The Man With A Red Bow changed his face when he saw the bloody mouth that was constantly enlarging in front of him.
However, as a person with extremely rich combat experience, he only made a gesture with one hand. Then, red light was released from his body, which condensed into a thin light cover in a hurry.
Crack!
The grey lizard suddenly closed its big mouth. Cracks immediately appeared on the light cover, which almost collapsed at once.
However, it was this momentary delay that determined the gray monitor lizard's fate.
With a swoosh, a dazzling gray sword light flashed from above and turned into a thick gray light beam that penetrated the giant lizard's head. The gray giant lizard was startled and barely avoided it by tilting its neck.
Right at this moment, a tiger's roar resounded, and a pitch-black shadow of a tiger's head smashed over from the other side.
The ear-piercing sound of bones breaking rang out!
The giant lizard's huge body was forcibly sent flying, and at the same time, the grey sword light slashed across its neck. Its head and body were abruptly split into two, and it fell heavily to the ground several tens of feet away.
The grey lizard's head was completely twisted and shattered, and its four limbs twitched twice before it stopped moving.
The man with the surname Min waved his hand, and a grey sword ray flew back with a whoosh, fusing into his body.
On the other side, the black gas surrounding Liu Ming slowly dissipated, and he withdrew his fist.
The Man With A Red Bow and the other three just flew into the air, and they looked at the dead giant lizard below in horror.
"Ghost Lizard!" The hunchbacked old man's lower abdomen buzzed with ventriloquism, and his voice was full of fear.
It was no wonder that the Ghost Lizard was known as the hidden assassin among the many ghost beasts of the Evil Ghost Way.
Because this kind of ghost beast's cultivation was not weak, and it was extremely good at sneak attacks, as long as it hid underground, even the Jin Dan Stage cultivators could not use their Divine Sense to detect it. Therefore, there were many Crystallization Period cultivators in the four forces, and even Jin Dan Stage cultivators had fallen in the mouth of this Ghost Lizard.
"Thank you, Brother Min and Liu, for saving our lives." The Man With A Red Bow solemnly bowed to Liu Ming and the man with the surname Min.
On the other side, the young woman in the red shirt and others looked at Liu Ming with some gratitude.
"There is no need to be so polite, Junior Brother. This is part of my duty. This time, it is all thanks to Younger Brother Liu." The man with the surname Min waved his hand carelessly, and his gaze swept across the Ghost Lizard's body before looking at Liu Ming.
Liu Ming was about to open his mouth to say something, but his expression suddenly changed. He waved his hand, and a black gas fell on the broken head of the Ghost Lizard. A moment later, it wrapped around a fist-sized black ball and flew back.
"A ghost's Yin Core." Liu Ming said with a happy expression.
This was the first time he had personally obtained this from a ghost. When the others saw this, they were also very surprised.
However, after Liu Ming played with it a few times, he handed the Ghost Lizard's Yin Core to the man with the surname Min.
According to the whole team's agreement, the items obtained from outside missions would be kept by the team leader, and would be divided evenly when they returned.
After receiving the Yin Core, the man with the surname Min asked, "Younger Brother Liu, this Ghost Lizard was hiding underground. How did you sense it?"
The Man With A Red Bow and the others also revealed a trace of curiosity. If Liu Ming hadn't warned them, it was very likely that the Man With A Red Bow would have died in the Ghost Lizard's mouth.
"I didn't discover it. I raised a ghost-type spiritual pet, and it is very sensitive to Yin Qi." Liu Ming muttered to himself, and didn't hide anything.
The man with the surname Min and the others looked at the Soul Cultivation Pouch on Liu Ming's waist, and they felt somewhat relieved.
After experiencing such an incident, the group naturally didn't have the mood to continue resting. They quickly got up and continued to explore.
Half a day later, Liu Ming's group of six stopped in the air above a gray swamp.
They had already explored the surrounding area once, but found nothing.
At this moment, the man with the surname Min had a white formation plate floating in front of him, emitting a faint white light.
The formation plate suddenly lit up, and a few lines of small words appeared on its surface.
The man with the surname Min put away the formation plate, shook his head, and said, "The other two teams have also searched the area they were in charge of, but they also didn't find the Bowl of Fortune."
"It seems that the Bowl of Fortune is not nearby," the hunchbacked old man said using ventriloquism.
In this situation, Liu Ming didn't really think much of it.
Searching for the Bowl of Fortune was not an easy task, which was why they had sent out three teams to search together. Moreover, the original search area was only ideal, so it was normal that they couldn't find it.
"Since we've confirmed that the Bowl of Fortune is not near the fort, why don't we expand the search area?" Young Man said as he waved the fan in his hand. With a swoosh, he opened it and fanned himself a few times.
At this moment, the red-robed young woman suddenly suggested, "Why don't we make a deal with the Seven Orifices Ghost and see if we can find any relevant information?"
"That's a good idea!" The large man was the first to respond.
"However, the Seven Orifices Ghost is very cunning. We should first discuss how to make a deal with them, so that we won't suffer a double loss." Although the hunchbacked old man didn't object, he still coldly snorted.
"That's natural. It's not the first time that we've sold information to both sides. However, if we do this, we might be able to find the Bowl of Fortune before the other two teams." The man with the surname Min nodded.
When the others heard this, they all nodded in agreement. Then, they began to discuss under the leadership of the man with the surname Min.
"Captain Liu might not know this, but for these kinds of search missions that are completed by all the teams, the Sect will often give a large reward to the first team to find the target in order to increase the speed of the search. The other teams will return empty-handed, naturally wasting their time and energy." Playboy saw the confusion on Liu Ming's face, so he came forward and explained in a soft voice.
"The Seven Orifices Ghost should be a type of ghost from the Evil Ghost Realm. Do they often make deals with them?" Liu Ming came to a sudden realization and transmitted his voice after some thought.
"There are many ghosts born in the Evil Ghost Realm, but their strength and grade are naturally far inferior to the ghosts of the Evil Ghost Legion. A few low-grade ghosts will often serve as cannon fodder in the war between human cultivators and the evil ghosts, suffering heavy losses and only a small harvest. Over time, some of the malicious ghosts are unwilling to participate in the war between human cultivators and the Evil Ghost Legion. Instead, driven by benefits, they are willing to make deals with human cultivators. Generally speaking, the blood essence of some spirit beasts or low-grade Ghost Dao magic tools can be used to trade with them. Sometimes, they can even trade for ghost cores and other precious materials. "Playboy patiently explained to Liu Ming.
"Since they are low-grade ghosts, their strength shouldn't be very high. The Bowl of Good Fortune cannot be found even with our search magic tools. What kind of magical ability does the Seven Orifices Ghost have to be able to find its whereabouts? "Liu Ming stroked his chin, still somewhat puzzled.
"Although the Seven Orifices Ghost's strength is low, it is very familiar with the environment here. Moreover, its innate ability to see and hear is much more useful than our human cultivators' spiritual sense. Thus, it is often used as a scout by the Evil Ghost Legion." Playboy said with confidence.
"Well, since everyone has no more questions, let's set off. This time, we must hurry up and find the Bowl of Good Fortune before the other two squads!" While Liu Ming and A Young Man were talking, the man surnamed Min had already discussed with the others and made arrangements for possible unexpected situations when trading with the Seven Orifices Ghost.
"I happen to know the location of the nearest Seven Orifices Ghost Tribe. Come with me." The red-robed woman said indifferently. Then, she turned into a red light and flew away.
"Haha, San Niang is in such a hurry. Don't tell me she wants to snatch the credit from me." The man with the bow and arrow on his back laughed and also turned into a streak of light to chase after her.
"It seems that everyone is motivated. Very well, let's go." The man surnamed Min laughed heartily and soared into the sky with a gray light.
When Liu Ming saw this, he naturally didn't dare to slack off and turned into a streak of black light to follow.
For a time, streaks of light of different colors rose from the flat ground like a multicolored cloud of light. With a rapid sound of breaking through the air, they sped towards the east.
After passing through the hilly area for tens of thousands of miles, there was a gray mountain range of undulating undulating heights.
As far as the eye could see, there was not a single blade of grass growing on the mountain. It looked like it was completely barren. Layers of dark grey clouds covered the sky, causing the originally dark sky to appear even gloomier.
Behind the mountain range was a circular lake that occupied an area of more than ten acres. The lake water was dark blue and constantly emitted a cold and gloomy aura to the outside world.
There were hundreds of small mounds around the lake, each of which was less than ten feet in size and the smallest was only half a foot in size. On the surface of these mounds, there were two black holes, one big and one small, on the top and bottom. The sides of the holes all faced the lake, densely surrounding the entire lake.
If it was a human cultivator who frequently traveled the Evil Ghost Realm, they would naturally recognize this scene at a glance. This was the famous Seven Orifices Ghost Nest among the native ghosts.
