Zhao Fu stood on the town walls and looked at the thousands of figures in front of him. They were dressed in tattered clothes and had pale skin. Their hair was disheveled, and their faces were quite terrifying. Their bodies gave off an eerie aura.
In actuality, they were just ordinary Ghosts and weren't very powerful.
"Fire!"
Zhao Fu gave the order, and peach wood arrows covered in rooster blood drew arcs in the air before shooting out, forming a rain of arrows that covered the thousands of Ghosts.
These ordinary Ghosts didn't have much intelligence and only had a bit of basic instincts, and their movements were quite clumsy.
Chi, chi, chi …
Arrows descended, hitting the Ghosts. The arrows pierced into the Ghosts' bodies, causing sizzling sounds to ring out and giving off white smoke. The Ghosts howled in pain.
These specially-made arrows didn't do much damage to ordinary people, but they were incredibly harmful to Ghosts.
Many Ghosts that were hit in their vitals cried out before their bodies collapsed into ghostly qi, and a gray rhombus-shaped crystal fell to the ground.
The surviving Ghosts furiously rushed towards Qin Town, but after a few waves of arrows, the thousands of Ghosts were all killed. Following this, Zhao Fu went down and ordered his people to start collecting the Ghost Crystals.
There were 4,000 or so Ghost Crystals in total. These Ghosts were quite weak, and they were just a bunch of small fish. Some of the more powerful Ghosts had to go out and explore.
Normally, Ghosts would choose to go out by themselves rather than gather together. For a large number of Ghosts to gather together, it could only mean that a Ghost King had appeared.
Zhao Fu split the 20,000 soldiers into teams of ten and started to explore the outside world. Apart from this, Zhao Fu also recruited 20,000 residents to guard the outside of the village and kill some ordinary Ghosts, as well as the Ghosts that continued to appear within the village.
That's right, some special Ghosts would appear in cities, catching people off guard and giving them quite a fright. However, these Ghosts weren't very strong, and there weren't any malicious spirits or evil spirits. However, they still needed some people to stand guard.
As for the remaining residents, they could only obediently stay within their homes, and they had to stick Evil-Warding Talismans on their doors to prevent Ghosts from entering. The Ghost Festival was quite dangerous, and not everyone could enjoy it. For safety's sake, Zhao Fu had them stay within their homes and not go out.
Zhao Fu looked around and saw that within system main cities, all of the doors were tightly shut, and there was a talisman stuck to the doors. The streets were incredibly quiet, and it was quite dark. A cold wind blew, and with the ghostly moon in the sky, the city seemed like a ghost city, filled with eeriness and terror.
Most residents didn't plan to participate in this festival because it was too scary and dangerous. As such, they went to sleep early and waited until it was daytime. Because Ghosts were normally afraid of sunlight, they would hide during the day and come out at night. Of course, some of the more powerful Ghosts were immune to this weakness.
However, there were also some people who mustered up their courage and walked on the streets. Right now, Yin Qi covered the world, and there was no Yang Qi at all. The entire world was filled with ghosts and monsters, and it had completely become a world of ghosts. There was eerie terror everywhere, and when a few people walked on the streets, they felt a chill run down their spines.
"Boss, let's go back. This Ghost Festival is too scary, and it's different from the real world. There really are Ghosts here, "one of the lackeys said as he trembled and looked around nervously.
The well-built young man in front of them harrumphed as he said, "What are you afraid of? Don't you remember what we said when we watched a horror movie? I really want to meet a female Ghost and f * ck her a few times like in a horror movie! "
Hearing the well-built young man's words, the lackeys thought back to the female Ghosts' seductive figures in the horror movies, and they didn't seem as afraid anymore, so they also laughed.
However, their expressions suddenly froze because a red figure had silently appeared behind their boss without any warning.
The well-built young man hadn't discovered anything yet, and because he was immersed in some sort of lewd fantasy, he smiled in delight. When he came back to his senses, he saw that his lackeys were acting strangely, and he turned to look.
Immediately!
He sucked in a breath of cold air as a woman with long hair and wearing bright red clothes appeared behind him. However, her face was completely twisted, making her look like a fried dough twist.
The well-built young man was given a big fright and hurriedly swung his saber. However, the Ghost behind him didn't dodge, and the saber slashed into her body unscathed. After all, ordinary weapons couldn't harm Ghosts, unless they could release energy attacks like saber lights or special weapons that countered Ghosts.
"Hahaha …"
The female Ghost gave a cold and strange laugh that caused people to tremble.
The well-built young man and his lackeys were so scared that they immediately ran, throwing all thoughts of what had happened to them to the back of their minds. However, the female Ghost immediately caught up to them, and a few pitiful cries sounded out in the night, making the eerie atmosphere even more terrifying.
In actuality, these Ghosts that appeared in cities were just Vengeful Ghosts that were born with resentment. As such, their faces were quite twisted, but they had talismans, saber lights, and sword lights, so they were quite easy to kill.
…
Elsewhere, Zhao Fu brought 50 or so soldiers and Tuoba Qing to search for Ghosts. Zhao Fu also brought Little Black and the others.
Now that it was quite dark, the group lit torches as they advanced. Zhao Fu rode at the front on Little Black, and Tuoba Qing was allowed to ride on Little Grey.
At this moment, Xiao Hui suddenly stopped and crouched on the ground in a battle stance, growling a few times. Most wild beasts had stronger senses than humans, so Zhao Fu gestured for the team to stop. Soon, they discovered more than 30 ghosts in front of them.
Most of the 30 or so Ghosts were normal, but there was one Ghost that was a bit different. This Ghost looked like an old man with a few strands of white hair on his head. He had a skinny body and a pair of eyes that looked like they were going to pop out, looking quite terrifying.
Apart from this, his fingernails were as long as a finger and were blood-red in color. The ripples of power coming from his body were ten times that of an ordinary Ghost, and he gave off a vicious aura.
This was no ordinary Ghost – it was a Malicious Ghost!
The Malicious Ghost was many times more powerful than ordinary Ghosts, and Zhao Fu raised a hand, causing the Archers behind him to draw their bows. As soon as Zhao Fu's hand fell, arrows shot out.
Chi, chi, chi …
The arrows were incredibly fast and shot out like bolts of lightning, hitting Ghosts one after another. These arrows were made of peach wood, which dealt great damage to Ghosts. However, they were useless against Malicious Ghosts.
Facing the incoming arrows, the Malicious Ghost waved its hand, sending out five incredibly sharp rays of blood-red light that cut the incoming peach wood arrows into countless pieces. It looked quite powerful. Zhao Fu turned to look at Tuoba Qing and said, "You go deal with him!"
