Ghosts wearing tattered and rotting clothes and giving off an eerie and cold aura appeared on the horizon. At a glance, there were so many of them that they looked like ants, and it was impossible to tell how many of them there were.
"Ghost Ambush!"
Someone yelled, causing the atmosphere within Qin City to become tense and solemn, and the soldiers and residents quickly started to move.
Figures appeared on the town walls – Goblin Warriors raised their shields, Gnomes raised their bows, Elves gripped their bows, and Kobolds raised their spears …
Everyone entered a state of battle!
Zhao Fu went to the top of the Great Wall and looked at the Ghosts in the distance. There were roughly 30,000 or so Ghosts on the other three sides, which meant that there were 120,000 Ghosts attacking from the start. Zhao Fu went to the top of the Great Wall and looked at the Ghosts in the distance. There were roughly 30,000 Ghosts on the other three sides, which meant that there were 120,000 Ghosts attacking from the start.
This number made it so that no one dared to be careless. Moreover, this was the first battle after nightfall, and it was easy to imagine how terrifying the following battles would be.
This time, countless Ghosts roared as they rushed towards the Great Qin Town, giving off terrifying sounds. Within the Ghosts' attack range, arrows continuously shot out, drawing countless arcs in the air and raining down like a torrential downpour.
Chi, chi, chi …
One by one, the ordinary Ghosts were shot, and their bodies immediately disintegrated, turning into countless specks of ghostly qi that dissipated. This time was different from before. Some of the arrows didn't even hit their vitals, but they were still able to kill the Ghosts. Some of the arrows even pierced through the bodies of two Ghosts.
This was because not only were the arrows made of peach wood and dyed with black dog blood, but they were also covered with Ghost-Slaying Talismans. Most of the 15 million talisman papers that Zhao Fu had bought were Ghost-Slaying Talismans.
A talisman like this cost 20 copper coins, and adding on the Mahogany Wood and Yang attribute blood cost, a single arrow cost 30 copper coins. If this was converted to the real world, each arrow would be worth 300 yuan. What was falling wasn't arrows, but a pile of money.
Even though he had spent so much, the results were also great. A single volley of arrows had reduced the number of ghosts by 20%.
The horde of Ghosts continued to charge forward without any hesitation. Another wave of arrows rained down, reducing the horde of Ghosts by half. By now, the horde of Ghosts had reached the walls, but they didn't dare to touch the walls.
Because Zhao Fu had crazily pasted so many talisman papers, it was impossible to count how many talisman papers there were. In any case, the entire city wall was covered with talisman papers, and to the Ghosts, the city wall was like a piece of red-hot iron. An Evil Ghost roared, and its body gave off a large amount of eerie ghostly qi as it clawed at the city wall.
"Roar!"
It was as if the evil spirit's hand was placed on red-hot iron. Wisps of white smoke were emitted and a sizzling sound could be heard. The evil spirit screamed and retreated.
The countless Evil Warding Talismans, as well as the four Gold grade talismans, sensed the large amount of ghostly qi and gave off faint lights, unleashing the ghost-warding power of the talismans. This was especially so for the four talismans, which gave off golden lights that were like four bright lamps in a dark night.
Even though the horde of Ghosts had reached the bottom of the city wall, they couldn't do anything to the people on the city wall. Now that they couldn't even touch the city wall, there was no way to fight this battle – it was a one-sided massacre.
Some of the more intelligent Ghosts weren't like the ordinary Ghosts, who had been attracted by that power and madly rushed over. However, the more intelligent Ghosts understood that they couldn't win here, so they didn't plan on staying to die.
However, even though they wanted to escape, Zhao Fu didn't plan on letting them off. He ordered a few teams of soldiers to attack, and this large-scale attack killed all of the Ghosts without a single one escaping.
After easily dealing with the 120,000 Ghosts, everyone felt slightly relieved, and Zhao Fu felt quite delighted – 120,000 Ghost Crystals just like that; who would be able to obtain 120,000 Ghost Crystals so quickly?
It was only 7pm, and the 120,000 Ghosts were just a small appetizer. Following this, a few more waves of Ghosts rushed over, but they were all dealt with by Qin.
Zhao Fu estimated that he had killed 500,000 or so Ghosts, which meant that he had obtained 500,000 or so Ghost Crystals. Because the battle had not stopped yet, he couldn't go down from the city wall to collect Ghost Crystals, so he couldn't calculate the exact number.
After obtaining so many Ghost Crystals, Zhao Fu was quite happy. After all, the top-ranked profession, Hundred Ghost Illusionist, was only worth 25 million Ghost Crystal Points.
Zhao Fu had obtained 500,000 Ghost Crystals, which was equivalent to 5 million Ghost Crystal Points. If he did this five more times, Zhao Fu would be able to obtain the Hundred Ghost Illusionist, and he might even be able to obtain the second and third professions. When he thought about this, Zhao Fu couldn't help but smile.
At this time, it was almost midnight. This period of time was very special, and it belonged to the time when Yin and Yang changed. During this period of time, Yin and Yang were out of balance, and it was chaotic. Normally, ghosts would come out, and there was a saying in most places, "Don't go to some places at noon or at night because it's easy to meet ghosts."
Suddenly!
By now, it was already 12pm, and the large and round ghostly moon in the sky seemed to be affected by some sort of power. It started to go through a strange change, and a hazy blood-red light shined out.
Under the ghostly moon's blood-red light, countless Ghosts raised their heads and howled, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Suddenly!
More and more Ghosts appeared in the distance, looking like a patch of grass. There were countless of them, and they all had strange and savage smiles on their faces. However, they were also quite excited as they madly rushed towards Great Qin.
This time, there were 200,000 Ghosts, and they rushed at Qin Zhao from all directions, giving off a terrifying aura that could cause anyone within a few kilometers to feel their hairs stand on end.
At the same time, another type of Ghost appeared among the 200,000 Ghosts!
This Ghost wasn't very tall, only about 1.2 or 1.3 meters tall. It had gray skin and an ugly face, and it looked like it was starving. Its body was incredibly thin, and it looked like it didn't have any flesh at all. However, it had a big belly.
The big belly felt like it was swollen, as if a lot of things had been stuffed inside, causing the belly to expand. This new ghost was called the "Hungry Ghost of the Six Paths"!
The Six Paths Hungry Ghost belonged to the Hungry Ghost Realm of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. It was said that after a person died of hunger, they would become a Hungry Ghost with immense resentment. These Ghosts loved to eat, but their stomachs would never be full.
This Ghost's aura was very powerful, and it was even more powerful than ordinary Evil Ghosts. At the same time, its expression was even more savage.
Zhao Fu stood on the city walls and looked at the flood of Ghosts with a serious expression. He ordered his soldiers to bring out savage ballistae.
