The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

Chapter 369

Xiaohe City, the outskirts of the city.

There was a burst of thick black smoke floating here, almost covering this area, but at this moment there was another black haze faintly stirred in the thick smoke, this strange bruise-like color was particularly abrupt in the black smoke, It's just that the thick black smoke is obviously better, making the blue-black haze gradually fade away.

The ghost domain is an extension of the power of ghosts. Under ordinary circumstances, the ghost domain cannot be disturbed and is almost incomprehensible.

Only ghosts with a higher level of terror can invade other ghost domains.

This is a pure supernatural level of suppression, there are no specific division rules, and only after a real collision can one know which is stronger and which is weaker.

Right now, the ghost domain of ghost smoke is beginning to erode the blue-black haze, but compared to such a slow erosion, it is better to directly solve the source of the haze.

now.

Through the invasion of ghost smoke, Li Leping's figure directly appeared here.

The haze here is extremely thick, and the surroundings are dark, and the outlines of some modern buildings can be vaguely seen, as well as the house number erected in front of the gate.

902 Institute.

This is the research base where the headquarters detains the starving ghosts.

However, at this moment, the entire research institute seemed to have turned into an empty base. It was silent inside, and no one saw it. It was just that in the depths of a certain building, a chewing sound of "click, click, click" came from the ground along the stairs. Pass it outside.

The sound is somewhat similar to that of chewing bones.

Undoubtedly, the starving ghost revived and began to eat some "tributes" that Wu Wu still had below.

The sound of chewing could be heard clearly, and Li Leping immediately took out the short stick behind him, intending to use the ghost smoke to invade the ground and directly confront the starving ghost.

A starved ghost whose jigsaw puzzle has been dismantled must be greatly reduced, especially without the ghost shroud, Li Leping is still very likely to imprison him.

"Ok?"

But just when he planned to continue to invade the haze in front of him.

Suddenly, his eyes shrank suddenly, as if something was lost in his body.

The ghost smoke was gone, as if it had disappeared from his body.

However, thick black smoke was still floating around him, filling the sky, exuding a faint burnt smell.

The black smoke covered the sun, so there was no light here.

"I'm going to take a step first, this is for you."

Suddenly, a person appeared beside Li Leping. That person stood there straight, his voice was cold, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly, but Li Leping immediately felt that he was being watched.

This one pointed to Li Leping's side.

A huge golden container just appeared here out of thin air, but the container had obvious cut marks, and there was still some corpse water in the box, emitting a strong stench, as if to indicate that a group of people were still imprisoned in this container just now. A dead body, to be precise, was imprisoning a ghost.

Of the ghosts that can be imprisoned by such a large amount of gold, only a few ghosts can enjoy this kind of treatment.

"It's you."

Li Leping's expression froze, and he immediately understood what was going on.

Ghost Smoke was borrowed.

The ghost on his body was borrowed, which was not beyond his expectation.

However, he did not expect that Wu Wu would dare to stay here.

"Borrowing the ghost smoke, trying to block me here? Are you so sure that the starving ghost can kill me?"

Li Leping looked indifferent, and didn't care about the loss of a ghost.

What he is most threatening is not ghost smoke, but ghosts and sleepwalking ghosts who are looking for people.

This is his biggest reliance to face all supernatural beings.

"Of course I'm not sure, otherwise why would I bring you the container?"

"You really have other plans."

Li Leping's eyes were stern, just staring at the figure hidden in the thick smoke and haze.

If you want to take the opportunity to kill him, you should borrow the ghost or sleepwalking ghost from him.

But at this moment, Wu Wu, who has already mastered Borrowing Ghosts, did not borrow these two ghosts, but Borrowing Ghost Smoke, as if intending to trap Li Leping to death here.

Wu Wu didn't answer Li Leping, but stepped back slowly, his figure quickly disappeared into the haze, and at the same time, Ghost Smoke also left together.

Without the harassing ghost smoke, in an instant, this place became a haunted area for starving ghosts again.

"It's impossible for Wu Wu to trap me to death. Is he trying to use me to re-imprison the starving ghost? As for the reason for restricting the ghost domain, is he trying to delay my progress in imprisoning the starving ghost? Or is he trying to delay my subsequent liquidation of him? "

Li Leping frowned, with a vigilant expression: "What exactly is he planning to do?"

Without thinking about it, he could guess that Wu Wu must have another plan, which was a long-planned plan.

But now Li Leping has no time to think about the twists and turns, so he can only take one step and watch one step.

He didn't choose to use the spirit of the Forgotten Ghost to take back the ghost smoke. Now is not the time to make dolls with Wu Wu, which will cause unnecessary consumption of the Forgotten Ghost.

Right now, Li Leping must go all out and use the Forgotten Ghost's forgetting ability to deal with the starving ghost in front of him.

Moreover, ghost smoke has special uses.

The next moment, he took out a white candle from his arms.

When I went to persuade the lunatic in Daxia City to stop, some problems were accidentally caused, which led to a little conscious confrontation.

In order to make up for this matter, Wang Xiaoming not only gave him a red ghost candle, but also gave him the originally negotiated remuneration, which was the white ghost candle.

Anyway, the output of this thing is very high, and it is a kind of failure in the manufacture of red candles. However, in some occasions, the white ghost candle that attracts ghosts has a miraculous effect.

Unexpectedly, it can be used now.

After losing the Ghost Domain, Li Leping didn't intend to take the initiative to go to the underground base to find the starving ghosts. After all, the situation below is unknown. When some areas of this type of research base are built, the building materials are often mixed with gold materials. Avoid supernatural influences on it.

Wu Wu's whereabouts are unknown, so it is naturally impossible for Li Leping to take the initiative to walk into such a building full of gold. If this guy uses some method to seal the underground base, wouldn't he be trapped to death? under?

Besides, he couldn't carry such a big box beside him.

Right now.

When the white candle is lit, a strange candle flame rises up. Unlike the green flame of the red ghost candle, the flame ignited by the white ghost candle is black.

The surroundings were originally in the haze, and there were not many things to see.

As soon as the dark flame in his hand eroded towards the surroundings, this place became completely invisible.

But it was at the moment when the ghost candle was lit.

The chewing sound echoing up from the underground base disappeared.

"Tap, Tread."

Instead, there was the echo of footsteps.

A strange figure put down the half-eaten arm in his hand, and slowly walked towards the steps...

The sound of the footsteps was extremely dull, not a step that a living person could walk out at all, more like a dead body, when walking, it pressed all the strength of the whole body to the floor.

The sound of heavy footsteps, accompanied by an incomparable sense of oppression, spread all the way from the darkness to Li Leping's ears.

But Li Leping still looked calm, and he took off the lantern hanging from his waist.

It has been a long time since he controlled the ghost smoke, and the ghost fire lantern has not been used for a long time. He never thought that he would still have the opportunity to use such a strange lantern to illuminate the darkness and dispel the haze around him.

Hanging the lantern on the short stick in his hand, a restless blue flame suddenly appeared in the lantern, and then, the blue light, accompanied by a burst of cold breath, dispelled the surrounding haze, covering a range of tens of meters nearby. All light up.

This scene looked like a watchman who wandered in the alleys in ancient times and was responsible for night watch.

However, what Li Leping wants to do today is not to watch the night to tell the time, but to catch evil spirits.

The black candlelight and the faint blue firelight are entangled with each other, with blue in the black and black in the blue, making the two colors not very obvious.

However, there was no confrontation between the two, but they just hovered around Li Leping.

The white ghost candle that attracts ghosts is different from the red ghost candle that evades the supernatural. The appearance of the ghost fire lantern just fits its purpose.

After waiting quietly for a while.

In addition to the blue and dark firelight, the haze that was visible to the naked eye and lingering outside the light suddenly became much thicker.

at the same time.

The footsteps sounded from far to near. In the depths of the haze, a man who was particularly thin but with a big belly came slowly from a distance. This man's steps were slow, and every step was extraordinarily heavy. Exudes a lifeless breath.

Here comes the starving ghost.

"coming."

Li Leping saw this terrifying ghost walking slowly, and immediately extinguished the black ghost candle in his hand.

There is no need to continue burning this candle. He is sure that he has been targeted. He is just using the ability of the ghost candle to force the starving ghost to give up eating the inactive living people in front of him and force him to be the first to target himself. .

The reason why the starving ghost is defined as S rank is because its killing pattern is too easy to be triggered.

See, hear, touch, breathe.

For ordinary people, every law of killing is extremely easy to be triggered, especially the trigger condition of inhaling haze, for ordinary people in the haunted world of starving ghosts, it is basically unavoidable.

Even most ghost masters cannot avoid this law of killing. No matter how severely the body is eroded by spirits, no matter how slow the metabolism is, breathing is a must for life.

"Ghost stick, looking for ghosts, sleepwalking ghosts, deal with them directly in one go."

immediately.

He removed the lantern from the short stick and held it in his other hand.

Holding a lantern and a black short stick in his hand, and under the illumination of the fire in front of him, he walked slowly towards the figure with a big belly.

Both are moving towards each other.

Soon, the distance between each other has become closer and closer.

Li Leping never imagined that one day he would face a starving ghost, such a ghost that once forced Yang Jian to hang himself.

However, Li Leping is not Yang Jian, and the starving ghost in front of him is not the same starving ghost as before.

Suddenly.

In the faint blue firelight, a blue-black dead face came into view. This ghost with a big belly, naked body and no clothes had the appearance of Zhou Zheng, the second Interpol of Dachang City.

Not only Zhou Zheng's internal organs were eaten clean by this ghost, but even his appearance was taken away by this ghost.

He who once tried his best to protect Dachang City caused such a serious problem because of the revival of the ghost after his death.

After the ghost master dies, he will turn into a ghost instead, and even his body will be taken away by the ghost as a body to carry the supernatural.

This is the most hopeless place in the world.

Even if you try your best to protect the last dawn, the boundless darkness will eventually engulf you, and then turn you into a part of the darkness. In the end, you will instead become the help of the darkness, and you will be the one who once tried everything to protect Dawn flooded.

"Give it a stick first."

The moment he saw this face, Li Leping didn't feel too much emotion, but a blurry figure appeared in front of him immediately.

This is Zhou Zheng, to be precise, the starving ghost in front of him has been remembered by Li Leping.

At this moment, Li Leping used the spirit of the Forgotten Ghost to present it as a medium that could be triggered by a short stick.

Swinging the short stick in his hand vigorously, Li Leping didn't hold back anything, and directly smashed at the illusory figure in front of him.

He didn't intend to just fight the starving ghost close to hand like this, he planned to preemptively use short sticks to reduce its terror.

At the same time, the spirit of the Forgotten Ghost also erupted suddenly at this moment, and the terrifying Forgotten Ghost even made the starving ghost's movements suddenly stop for a moment, and he froze in place.

Just when Li Leping was about to strike, the starved ghost's dark eyes moved slightly, and a strange and fierce look suddenly appeared in the empty eyes, which seemed to indicate that it was about to launch an attack.

"Boom!"

And just when the starving ghost was about to pounce, Li Leping had already hit the starving ghost with a heavy blow. Its stiff neck turned suddenly, and its entire head was smashed to the side, as if its cervical vertebrae had been crushed. The stick broke, and the whole body fell to the side, and then lost its movement.

"thump!"

The cold, stiff body suddenly fell to the ground, showing a very abnormal twisted posture.

The thick haze around also began to fade away gradually at this time, becoming thinner.

That is to say, the moment the attack with the short stick was successful, a terrible curse suddenly fell. Li Leping's arm seemed to be hammered from the top to the bottom by a mace, and it turned purple directly, exuding a faint smell of decay. , as if the entire arm had been necrotic.

"not enough."

Seeing the starving ghost lying on the ground motionless, Li Leping didn't take it lightly. He knew that this ghost had also developed a certain amount of wisdom.

S-level ghosts are too dangerous. Even facing an S-level ghost whose jigsaw puzzle has been partially disassembled, Li Leping doesn't believe that he can knock this ghost down with a single stick.

Although the short stick's spiritual attack worked, the starving ghost in front of him was probably pretending to be dead, and it hadn't actually lost its ability to move.

Suddenly.

Li Leping didn't stop, but as he walked slowly towards the starving ghost, an extraordinarily cold aura emanated from his body, and at the same time, his purple arms began to slowly return to their natural flesh color, but it looked a bit pale and weak.

The death curse of the ghost and the sleepwalking ghost broke out at the same time, ten meters, nine meters, eight meters...

With Li Leping approaching, the starving ghost lying on the ground is about to trigger the killing pattern of the two ghosts.

Six meters, five meters, four meters...

"solved?"

Li Leping is getting closer.

However, the ghost lying on the ground seemed to be completely suppressed and lost the ability to move, so it remained motionless.

He had some thoughts in his mind, but before the ghost was completely imprisoned back into the golden container, he still didn't dare to relax. After all, if he was accidentally bitten by this ghost, he would suffer disaster.

Suddenly.

Just when Li Leping was only two meters away from the starving ghost.

Suddenly, the livid black corpse turned its neck around stiffly. A gloomy look appeared in its ashen eyes, and it immediately locked on to Li Leping in front of him.

"not good."

Seeing this, Li Leping shrank his eyes suddenly, feeling the danger.

"Three ghosts with the curse of mortal death, plus a supernatural item, aren't they enough to restrain such a ghost?"

He hurriedly backed away, but the starving ghost lying on the ground erupted with amazing strength at this moment, stood up from the ground with a "scratch", opened its bottomless bloody mouth, and rushed towards him come over.

The ghost teeth that the starving ghost obtained from Ye Feng did not seem to be disassembled. At this moment, the starving ghost opened its mouth wide, revealing rows of sharp, blackened teeth.

The frightening thing is that there is not only one row of such teeth, but it fills the entire mouth. The sharp teeth are enough to make any trypophobic patient feel his scalp tingling on the spot.

The surrounding blue-black haze also became dense again, but because the lantern in Li Leping's hand had not been extinguished, the haze could not approach this area.

"Oops."

Li Leping was also surprised.

This ghost thing will really pretend to be dead.

But it was too late for him to retreat, and the only way to do so at such a short distance was to fight head-on.

He didn't believe that the disassembled starving ghost was really so fierce, and could really resist the attack of three ghosts plus a supernatural object.

In a critical moment, his keen judgment made him make a choice.

Instead of retreating, he decisively let go of the will-o'-the-wisp lantern in his hand, chose to give up all unnecessary consumption, and let the spirit of the Forgotten Ghost act on him with all his strength, so as to quickly restore the arm that was still eroded by the curse of the short stick.

This time, he once again raised the short stick in his hand, with a very clear goal.

It is the ghost tooth of a starving ghost.

"The target of the first attack was not accurate enough. I should suppress part of the puzzle of the starving ghost, so as to truly reduce the horror of the starving ghost."

With another swing of the stick, Li Leping hit the starved ghost's big mouth with all his strength. When the starved ghost opened his mouth and exposed the row of ghost teeth, the iron rod in his hand directly hit the row of teeth. .

"clang!"

What made people feel a little creepy was that when the short stick hit the row of teeth, it was not a dull collision sound, but more like the sound of some kind of metal hitting.

It's hard to imagine that if one is bitten by such a bunch of teeth, even the flesh and bones will be torn off abruptly.

Once again, the starved ghost was knocked to the side by this terrible force, and his whole head was tilted to the side, his body seemed to become stiff, and his movements began to become sluggish.

"Sure enough, it's not enough to directly attack the surface of the starving ghost. It is necessary to attack the location of the puzzle on its body and temporarily suppress some ghosts on it, so as to reduce the horror of the starving ghost as a whole."

It didn't stop, although one hand had already suffered the price of the outbreak of the short staff curse, but the other hand had also recovered at this moment.

Facing the starving ghost who was clearly showing signs of being suppressed, Li Leping didn't stop, and immediately swung the second stick.

This stick hit no other place, but the stomach of the starving ghost.

Due to the lack of clothing to cover it, Li Leping could clearly see that there seemed to be no flesh and blood under this blue-black belly, just like a thin layer of skin.

And it is under such a thin layer of skin that the outline of a human head can be vaguely seen.

I don't know where the starving ghost ate such a head, but Li Leping is very clear that if we continue to weaken the puzzle on the starving ghost, the starving ghost can be completely suppressed.

Then, while the jigsaw puzzles were still recovering from the stick's grip, he could completely overwhelm the starving ghosts with the seekers and sleepwalkers.

"Boom!"

The short stick hit the big belly of the starving man, but it also hit the head of the person rolling in the belly.

Immediately, the head hidden in the ghost's stomach stopped moving, and there was no movement.

That is at this time.

The starving ghost also lost the capital to continue to fight. In less than two seconds, the two ghost puzzles on it were suppressed by the short stick. After being so weakened, it and the other puzzle pieces on it were immediately killed by the ghost. And sleepwalkers suppressed.

As if he had lost all his strange powers, the starving ghost fell powerlessly to the ground like an ordinary corpse.

"The plan is right. By weakening a part of the puzzle, the whole starving ghost can be weakened as a whole. It's like assembling a toy. If you remove a leg, the toy can't walk normally. If you remove an arm, the toy can pick up less weapons."

The suppression was temporarily completed, but Li Leping did not breathe a sigh of relief, but immediately grabbed the starving ghost's black and blue foot and dragged it all the way back to the side of the golden container.

The corpse didn't weigh too much to him, and he didn't dare to lift the neck of the starving ghost at this time, lest he would be bitten by it suddenly.

With a sudden flick, the starved ghost's stiff body was thrown back into the huge golden container by Li Leping like a shot put.

Immediately, Li Leping closed the lid of the box.

It took less than ten seconds from moving the corpse to closing the box, and the starving ghost had not yet had time to break free from the oppression.

this moment.

The haze over Xiaohe City began to subside, the sun shone on the earth again, and everything seemed to be back to normal.

"Success?"

Li Leping took a step back, staring at the golden container that was too late to be welded.

He was not sure whether the starving ghost would take the initiative to break free from this container. After all, gold can only insulate the supernatural, but it will still be smashed open by the brute force of some ghosts.

It's just like when the ghost messenger focused on the headless ghost and violently destroyed the golden container where the headless ghost was held.

Now, can this seemingly thick golden box stop the starving ghost?

Li Leping has already made a plan. If the starved ghost shows signs of recovery, he will immediately forget the memory of losing the ghost smoke, and then forcefully withdraw from this area against Wu Wu's supernatural power.

He is not afraid of death, but he must not be eaten by the starving ghost, otherwise the starving ghost will really be lawless.

However, it seems that the goddess of luck is finally willing to take care of Li Leping once.

The golden container was quietly placed on the ground, and there was no movement from inside.

"finished?"

Li Leping's eyes moved slightly.

He has been waiting here for half a minute. According to the horror of the starving ghost, the suppression effect of the short stick should have passed long ago.

And the golden container in front of him remained as it was, and there was no movement from inside.
