I practice the Tao by blind practice

Chapter 777 Golden Immortal
A few miles away from Chen Hai's mansion, in an underground secret room in an abandoned mansion.

Four or five ghosts huddled in the corner, not daring to breathe, their bodies were obviously trembling.

"The tentacle monster outside is scary. He eats people, no, he eats ghosts."

"Before, I joined hands with Hongsi, and right under my nose, I watched Hongsi being eaten clean by the tentacle monster, including the skin and bones. Fortunately, I have good breathing skills and hide well , barely escaped with a life."

"Woooooo... Jin Quan, who was with me, also died at the hands of the tentacle monster, and was swallowed by him."

"Before I came to Mangshan City, I specifically asked several seniors in our soul hall who had been to Mangshan City to harvest souls. Those guys received a lot of gifts from me, but they didn't tell me anything about it. Regarding the tentacle monster in Mangshan City, they tricked me so much, after I go back, I must tell my godfather, let him escape and return to justice!"

"Tsing Yi, you are so fair. I'm afraid it will be difficult for your godfather to help you get it back. According to my guess, the tentacle monster probably came to this Mangshan City in the last two years. Otherwise, the news of him lurking here must have come early." It has been known by our soul hall."

"Then what should we do? The monster is obviously hunting our Ghost Clan. Except for a few of us, our companions must have died in the hands of the monster!"

"What else can we do? For now, let's wait until dawn. Perhaps, the tentacle monster hates sunlight, just like us, and only likes to be active at night!"

……

A few ghosts talked with each other in low voices.

Thinking of the hideous appearance of the monster covered in tentacles, while speaking, their bodies kept shaking.

Especially the female ghost named Tsing Yi, who seemed a little naive and romantic. When she mentioned the tentacle monster, she was already scared to pee, and the ground was wet.

"Mangshan City is too dangerous. I don't dare to stay in this place. After dawn, I will go directly to our soul hall station!"

Hearing that they had to wait until dawn, several ghosts were silent for a while, and one of them was the first to speak and said.

"Yes, I am going to go back directly!"

"In the soul hall, we have been given a few thousand quotas. Just such a little soul is only enough for us to squeeze between our teeth. If we want to use this to step further into the golden fairy, the chance of success is really slim."

"With that tentacle monster, we will continue to stay here. The human soul has not devoured many lives. Maybe we have already been harvested by that monster first!"

……

Immediately after the dog-headed ghost, two more ghosts spoke and echoed.

When wreaking havoc here and harvesting the lives of those human races, they all screamed excitedly.

But now, because the tentacle monsters wandering around devoured their companions, including their bones, the ghosts in the underground secret room were really frightened.

After all, they are not the kind of mindless existences that rely solely on instinct. As ghosts, their minds are almost the same as those of the human race.

Facing the extremely ferocious and terrifying tentacle monsters who seem to be feeding on their ghosts, they will also be afraid, and they will also be afraid.

"Guys, it took us seven days to come to Mangshan City from the Soul Hall. Even if we set off immediately after dawn, how long do you think it will take us to return to the Soul Hall?"

"When we hunted those human races ourselves, we encountered targets we were interested in. Will you allow them to escape?"

"The tentacle monster obviously regards our Ghost Clan as a delicacy. If we escape, the monster will probably chase us all the way out of the city."

"In the wilderness, if we are chased by that monster, we will have no escape, and we will die!"

"In my opinion, it is simply unrealistic for the few of us who have been targeted by the tentacle monster to leave Mangshan City and flee to the Soul Hall resident!"

The ghost who spoke at this moment, except for a piece of green on his head, his appearance did not seem to be much different from that of ordinary humans.

He obviously had some objections to the dog-headed ghost's proposal.

The words in his mouth, after a little thought, felt very reasonable. As soon as his words fell, the two companions immediately echoed.

"Green head, what do you mean by that?"

"Can't go out of the city and escape back to our soul hall resident, is it possible that we are still here waiting to die?" It was the dog-headed ghost who spoke.

When the suggestion he put forward was rejected by others, he was naturally dissatisfied, and his face was also very ugly.

"Golden Retriever, you obviously misunderstood me!"

"I'm just saying that it's not appropriate for the few of us to flee outside the city, but I didn't say that we should stay here and wait to die!"

With a calm smile on his face, the green head paused slightly, and continued: "Although the tentacle monster is strong, there is a city lord's mansion in Mangshan City!"

"Don't forget, although the Mangshan City Lord is not from our soul hall, he is also a member of our underworld."

"The existence of the tentacle monster is a stable factor for the entire Mangshan City. It is the responsibility of the Mangshan City Lord to solve this trouble."

"The few of us, as long as we tell him about the tentacle monster, he will naturally decide what will happen next."

"If the matter can be resolved successfully, the city lord's mansion will definitely reward us a lot. Perhaps, the number of living souls we can devour will be doubled directly because of this, even if it is not certain!"

Unhurriedly, the green head opened his mouth slowly.

The others only thought of escaping, and didn't think about the City Lord's Mansion at all.

After all, these ghosts belong to the Hall of Souls, and they are not from the same faction as the City Lord of Namang Mountain.

Although their soul hall has reached a tacit agreement with each other on the matter of harvesting the living souls of the human race, this does not mean that they are willing to seek help from the City Lord's Mansion and mix with them.

At this moment, Lutou's words obviously made the eyes of the other ghosts in the secret room brighten up.

It is true that they are unwilling to ask for help from the City Lord's Mansion unless necessary, but according to the logic of the green head, they are not asking for help, but helping the Mangshan City Lord.

In this way, they will be calm in their hearts, and naturally they will not have any psychological burden.

"That's right, the matter of the tentacle monster should indeed be resolved by the City Lord's Mansion."

"Several of our companions died in the hands of that tentacle monster, not even scum left. We should protest this matter, and let the City Lord's Mansion give us an explanation from the Soul Hall."

"After dawn, everyone, go directly to the City Lord's Mansion!"

Looking at each other, several ghosts nodded again and again.

After the reminder from Lutou, these guys in the secret room quickly made a decision together.

……

In the wing room of the mansion, Chen Hai sat cross-legged all the time.

In the billowing white mist of the void space, the power of merit contained in the five-color stones has been completely swallowed up by Chen Hai, and there is no longer any brilliance blooming from the stones.

The complete outline of the flower of the sky above his head has already been condensed, but this thing is so illusory that it feels very unreal.

"After more than a hundred years of cultivation, I have finally successfully stepped into the realm of the Golden Immortal!"

Chen Hai, who had kept his eyes tightly closed all this time, finally opened those eyes slowly.
