In the Ravenous Ghost Cavern, dimensional storms swirled incessantly as the ravenous ghosts on the walls howled incessantly. They yearned for fresh flesh and blood, and Lin Muyu was no doubt a temptation filled with deterrence. Even though they knew that the young man was skilled, the ravenous ghosts on the walls continued crawling over. They were willing to pay with their lives for a drop of blood.
Lin Muyu's aura was steady. Killing the Flame Demon had used up at least thirty percent of his strength, and he needed to recover in a short period of time. When he looked down at the bottom of the Cave of Hungry Ghosts, he could feel a dense chill. There was definitely an opponent even more powerful than the Flame Demon down there. Those people had sent him into the Cave of Hungry Ghosts to kill him with a borrowed knife, and that knife was clearly not the Flame Demon.
Suddenly, a miserable howl came from the sky. It was the person who had been transported into the Cave of Hungry Ghosts.
A young man dressed like a scholar fell down from the sky while howling miserably. He was blown away by the hurricane of the central fire pillar, and kept falling down on the stone wall. Finally, he was caught by a one-eyed hungry ghost who had sharp eyes and agile hands. Accompanied by a hissing sound, the hungry ghost bit off the scholar's wrist. A few hungry ghosts on the side also crawled over one after another, tying the scholar up in the middle of the vines. The sounds of gnawing and screeching became one.
Lin Muyu furrowed her brows. She didn't even have the time to save the scholar before he died. The Cave of Hungry Ghosts was indeed not a place for the living. She didn't know what crime the scholar had committed to receive such a punishment.
At this moment, another three people flew down from the sky. "Pa Pa Pa" sounds of explosions could be heard. They weren't really flying. Instead, they were relying on the wind attribute Dou Qi to maintain their bodies in the air. This was very exhausting, but it was also the only way for cultivators who hadn't stepped into the Godly State to stay in the air.
Of the three, two were relatively young, around thirty years old. The other was an elder with white hair and a beard. His face was ruddy, and he had the power of the peak of the Divine Heaven Realm. He did not look like a dead person. In fact, Lin Muyu could even sense the aura of life from these three people with his Spirit Pulse Technique. These three were alive, so where did they come from?
Roar roar …
Several malicious spirits swooped down and went straight for one of the bald martial artists.
"Impudent!"
With a single palm strike, the three hungry ghosts were all turned into minced meat. The king level battle flame enshrouded the area. Sure enough, the strength of these three people could not be underestimated. Moreover, their attacks were ruthless. With a single glance, one could tell that they were the type of people who were numb to killing.
"Hmm?"
After the expert with the glowing head killed the three hungry ghosts, he suddenly saw Lin Muyu through the leaves and vines. He couldn't help but frown, "Elder, there's a human here."
"Living or dead?" The hale and hearty old man was startled and followed his subordinate's gaze. He didn't even sense the presence of Lin Muyu!
Lin Muyu took a few steps back. She stretched out her hand and grabbed a bunch of vines hanging in the wind. She looked at the three of them quietly.
They came with ill intentions!
The three of them stepped on the air waves and walked over. The young expert with long hair tied behind his back cupped his fists and said, "Young hero, you … how did you come to this place that is neither human nor ghost? You … where are you from? "
Lin Muyu pondered for a moment, then calmly cupped her fists and said, "I come from the plane of the Shattered Cauldron Realm. My name is Lin Muyu."
"Oh …" The young expert smiled, "May I know why young hero has come here?"
Lin Muyu smiled faintly and said, "It's not that I want to come, but that I mistakenly entered this place. I don't even know what this place is called."
"You don't even know what it's called?"
The young expert couldn't help but be stunned. He smiled and said, "This place is called the Cave of Hungry Ghosts, one of the most dangerous places in the Nether Realm. I think young hero should leave as soon as possible. This is not a place for you to stay."
"Is that so? Who are you and why are you here? "Lin Muyu asked.
"We …" The young man laughed and said, "We come from the Celestial Pole Continent, a plane that is completely different from the Shattered Cauldron Realm. The three of us, heh … are from the Thunder Blaze Sect, one of the three great sacred sects of the Celestial Pole Continent. This is one of the elders of our Thunder Blaze Sect, Elder Zhu Han."
Zhu Han cupped his fists and smiled faintly with a profound meaning, "Young hero, it must not have been easy for you to come to this place alone."
Presumably, this Zhu Han's status in the Thunder Blaze Sect was quite high, right? Lin Muyu's gaze swept over Zhu Han. His cultivation was flourishing and could probably break through the Sacred Realm and step into the Divine Realm at any time. However, this old man didn't seem to be willing to ascend. Instead, he was like Feng Jixing, forcefully staying in the human realm and not stepping into the Divine Realm.
"Greetings, Elder Zhu Han." Lin Muyu nodded with a smile.
Zhu Han also nodded indifferently and said, "Young hero, when we came here, we saw the corpse of a ferocious beast embedded in the stone wall. It should be the Flame Demon from the Cave of Hungry Ghosts. The Flame Demon is a sacred beast with a lifespan of tens of thousands of years. The spirit stone has already been taken. I wonder if it was young hero's masterpiece?"
Lin Muyu couldn't help but feel the gazes of the three become gloomy. Once she admitted that she killed the Flame Demon, wouldn't this spirit stone attract a fatal disaster? It was better to avoid trouble, even though she wasn't afraid of these three.
"No, how could I have the ability to kill the Flame Demon? It was already dead when I came."
"Then it seems that it was done by someone else." A trace of disdain flitted across the corners of the old man's mouth.
The bald martial artist's disdain became even more intense. He said, "This boy looks gentle and refined, but he can't even release the power in his body. I think he's at most a Heaven Realm trash. Maybe he'll die in the mouth of some hungry ghost. Elder Zhu Han, let's not waste too much time on this kind of person. It's more important to find the Divine Ghost Spark as soon as possible. Only by obtaining the Divine Ghost Spark can you become one of the elders of the Five Great Saint Sects. Then, our Thunder Flame Sect will have more power to compete with the Celestial Harmony Sect and the Celestial Jue Sect."
"Yes." Zhu Han didn't say another word to Lin Muyu, as if in his eyes, Lin Muyu had already become a dead person.
The bald martial artist sneered at Lin Muyu from afar and said, "Boy, behave yourself. This is not a place you should be. It's better for you to get out of here as soon as possible. Otherwise … I don't mind sending you on your way."
Lin Muyu couldn't help but laugh and said, "If you really want to kill me, why don't you try?"
"What did you say?!" The bald man shouted angrily.
Lin Muyu didn't say anything. His eyes were cold and a gust of cold air spread around. Although he didn't show his divine power, the powerful Realm Power was enough to shock Zhu Han and the others.
"Then, Young Hero …" Zhu Han cupped his fists and said, "Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Lin Muyu nodded.
Lin Muyu could not help but frown as she watched the three of them walk on the wind. This place was originally called the Cave of Hungry Ghosts, but it had become even more confusing. Wasn't this place known as the Ghost Domain? Why could these three experts who had not yet stepped into the Divine Realm come here? What was the Divine Ghost Spark they were looking for? Wasn't the Divine Spark divided into five grades? What grade was the Divine Ghost Spark?
Thinking of this, her thoughts became even worse.
She would stay here for a while and recover her strength before going to the bottom to explore.
… …
An hour later, the divine power in her body began to fill up. It was time to see what was in the deeper parts of the Hungry Ghost Cave.
After sheathing the sword, Lin Muyu turned into a stream of light and rushed to the bottom of the cave. Using the supreme divine power to protect her body, she crushed all the hungry ghosts and vines that tried to block her way. Her speed was extremely fast.
Using the Spirit Pulse Technique, she constantly detected the auras in her surroundings, but all she got was an aura of death. After flying for nearly five minutes, three human auras appeared below. Needless to say, they were Zhu Han and the others.
"Be careful!"
Under the illumination of the pillar of fire, Zhu Han and the others were fighting against a huge monster! It was a bloated "worm", twisting its oily body as it crawled along the walls of the cave. It looked like a giant maggot, and it just so happened to be this species, the Giant Purgatory Maggot, a special product of the depths of the Hungry Ghost Cave.
Light erupted around Zhu Han, and a flying dagger appeared in his hand. Accompanied by lightning, the dagger pierced into the Giant Purgatory Maggot's body and immediately charred its skin. However, it didn't seem to be able to kill it. Instead, the Giant Purgatory Maggot turned around and spat out a mouthful of venomous saliva, which turned into a poisonous rain.
"Be careful, it's frost poison!"
Zhu Han let loose an almighty roar as her battle flames manifested as a suit of battle armor to protect her body. The poisonous rain continued to crackle as it struck the suit of battle armor, seemingly trying to erode its energy. Meanwhile, Lin Muyu looked on with a cold expression on her face. The poisonous rain was completely unable to approach her body, and it was all repelled by the wall of energy conjured up by her supreme divine power.
"Use the Beast Hunting Crossbow!" Zhu Han shouted.
The bald martial artist immediately took out a pitch-black crossbow bolt from his spatial bag. The bolt was extremely large, and there was a thin rope attached to its back. With a whoosh, it shot deep into the Giant Purgatory Maggot's body. He immediately stepped on wind energy and began to move, using the rope to cut the Giant Purgatory Maggot's body.
Another young martial artist wielded a sword and leaped onto the Giant Purgatory Maggot's back. Sword qi swept across the maggot, leaving deep wounds on its body.
At this moment, Lin Muyu finally understood what this group of people were here for. They were more like a group of hunters, traversing through dimensions to the Cave of Hungry Ghosts, a barren land forgotten by the Ghost Realm, to hunt for the remaining valuables. This Purgatory Giant Maggot was a fifteen thousand years old spiritual beast, so they were probably here for the spirit stones.
At this time, Zhu Han also noticed Lin Muyu's arrival. He said coldly, "Young hero, we can handle this Giant Purgatory Maggot ourselves. There's no need for you to do anything."
"I know." Lin Muyu looked at him indifferently. She stood majestically in the air, her short, dark-green cloak fluttering in the strong wind behind her.
It wasn't difficult for these three to kill the Giant Purgatory Maggot, but it would be difficult for them to escape unscathed.
Lin Muyu clearly saw that the young martial artist and the bald martial artist's battle armor had already been corroded. Even the bald martial artist's shoulder had turned purple, infected by the Giant Purgatory Maggot's corpse energy.
