Tens of thousands of ghosts wailed in unison.
Accompanied by countless screams, the ghosts pounced on them one by one.
Bai Xiaowen scanned the area with Insight. Most of the ghosts here were normal, called "Soulless Villagers." Only a few were obviously stronger and were high-level Elites.
[Cursed Ghost (Elite Level 8)]
[Race: Demon/Ghost Race]
[Attributes: STR 12, DEX 23, Constitution 35, Spirit 64]
[Skill 1: Grudge: Curse an enemy. Target must pass a Spirit check, or hallucinate.]
[Skill 2: Evil Ghost's Touch: Passive. Cursed Ghost's normal attacks cannot be blocked or parried. Additional magic damage is 1.5 times of Spirit.]
[Skill 3: Possession: Cursed Ghost grabs the target from behind. Target must pass a Spirit check, or movement speed will be reduced by 30% and will enter a periodic imprisonment effect.]
[Skill 4: Talisman Master's Seal LV2: Gain 300 extra HP.]
Compared to high-level Elite Cursed Ghosts, the Soulless Villagers were much weaker. However, they also had the passive skill "Evil Ghost's Touch", which ignored blocking and parrying. A hit would cause magic damage, so they could only rely on dodging. In large numbers, they were not to be underestimated.
"Shuyi, cooperate with Butcher to clean up the small fries. Leave the Elite monsters to me!" Bai Xiaowen said.
Li Shuyi activated Lord's Wrath. Two swords appeared and crashed into the group of ghosts like a whirlwind. She had been holding back for a long time. Now that the puzzle was solved, she could finally fight to her heart's content.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Li Shuyi executed the Hidden Sky Sword Technique. Every strike was sure to kill a normal ghost. Li Shuyi's two passive skills were quickly stacked. The duration of Lord's Wrath was also correspondingly extended. During this period, Li Shuyi's movement speed was greatly increased. Compared to these floating villagers, she was more like a ghost.
Butcher acted as a solid meat shield and crowd control. After Rotten Toxin was activated, Li Shuyi could enjoy the protection of Rotten Toxin as long as she hid within Butcher's melee range. The normal ghost villagers would be slowed down when they charged over. In addition, their agility would be suppressed, so they couldn't touch Li Shuyi at all.
A Curse-Bound Ghost floated behind Li Shuyi and opened its arms in an attempt to capture him. The Curse-Bound Ghost's Capture Judgement was very special. It was determined by one's Spirit.
Bang! With a gunshot, the Curse-Bound Ghost howled and retreated. The body condensed by the ghost fog shook.
The muzzle of Bai Xiaowen's Desert Eagle was emitting green smoke. His first shot didn't kill the Cursed Ghost, which was a little strange. However, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that the Cursed Ghost didn't seem to have any vital points, and its HP was as high as 650. Bai Xiaowen didn't have the Ring of Pain or Blood Rage to increase his damage, so it was unrealistic to kill it in one shot.
However, there was still Cecilia to deal damage. After the previous league matches and pre-match training, she and Bai Xiaowen were very familiar with each other. They specifically chose targets that were already injured because Bai Xiaowen's attack would trigger the True Damage of the Blood Essence Stone.
It had to be said that professional archers were different. Cecilia's arrows whistled out, and her speed was much faster than Bai Xiaowen's Desert Eagle's continuous shooting mode. The unlucky Curse-Bound Ghost's remaining HP was emptied by two consecutive arrows. It turned into light and dissipated, leaving behind a core sphere surrounded by gray fog. It seemed to be weightless as it floated in the air.
As an elite creature, it was normal that the Curse-Bound Ghost didn't drop a treasure chest after being attacked by two hero classes. However, this was the treasure space, not the spiritual world. After the Curse-Bound Ghost died, there were still materials that dropped. The floating sphere surrounded by gray fog looked extraordinary.
However, since they were in the middle of a battle, Bai Xiaowen didn't have time to pick it up. He could only continue to kill elite ghosts with his gun.
When he fought alongside Cecilia, the passive effect of her skill "Arrow Array" would also be used on Bai Xiaowen. It increased Bai Xiaowen's attack speed and slightly increased her damage output.
As more and more ghosts rushed over, the pressure on Bai Xiaowen and the other two gradually increased. After all, they were fighting against the evil ghosts of the entire village!
Liu Si must have predicted that Bai Xiaowen would come, so he had set up an ambush of ghost villagers near the house in advance. As time passed, the ghost villagers scattered in every house would swarm toward the battlefield under Liu Si's control.
Bai Xiaowen raised his hand and summoned an army of creatures.
Under Bai Xiaowen's instructions, Li Shuyi activated the Demonic Ghost Mask. He ignored the Butcher's cover and rushed directly into the crowd of ghosts. She seemed to have entered a certain state. She repeatedly used the subtle moves of the Tian Cang Sword Technique. Unbeknownst to herself, the proficiency of her swordsmanship specialty was continuously increasing.
This was all thanks to the Shapeshifting Ghost they had encountered earlier. Li Shuyi had fought with her other "self" for several hours. Her understanding of the Tian Cang Sword Technique and its moves had deepened. This kind of special encounter was rare. In addition, Li Shuyi's talent in swordsmanship was also a prerequisite.
"This kid controls either skeletons or zombies. He's even scarier than I am!" Liu Si felt that things were getting tricky. He immediately lifted the white stone hanging around his neck, bit the tip of his tongue, and spat a mouthful of blood onto the stone.
The white stone emitted a faint white light that shone on the ghosts of Huai Wang Village. Instantly, the villagers' blood-red eyes flickered, and they became even more ferocious and violent.
Bai Xiaowen's Insight received a notification. This was a blessing seal cast by Liu Si on the ghosts. It could temporarily increase their movement speed by 30% and attack speed by 20%!
Bai Xiaowen wanted to call Li Shuyi back, but Cecilia held him back.
"Don't disturb him," Cecilia said sternly. "He's immersed in swordsmanship. This kind of opportunity is hard to come by … When I was practicing archery, I encountered this kind of epiphany by chance."
Bai Xiaowen nodded. After all, if Li Shuyi was in danger, he could always use the team skill to pull him back. Or, he could just use a Return Scroll.
With this in mind, Bai Xiaowen no longer chose to avoid the attack. Instead, he chose to return the favor. The wolf king Wrath Claw howled into the sky. At the same time, Bai Xiaowen's cape spread open. Howl and Command Roar were used on the summoned creatures.
After all, amateurs were no match for professionals. A feng shui master would definitely be at a disadvantage when it came to controlling creatures in battle against Bai Xiaowen, a psychic. After the double buffs, the villagers and elite ghosts fell like weeds.
The number of ghosts gradually decreased. The army of summoned creatures was already closing in on the gate.
"Ignorant foreigner, you're digging your own grave!" Liu Si gritted his teeth.
