Chapter 558 Ghost
Unlike the bustling daytime atmosphere, the base was completely silent at night.

The silence was eerily quiet.

Because of the presence of the spirits, no one dares to start a fight at night. Any significant disturbance will attract the attention of the spirits.

If surrounded by a large number of vengeful spirits, even a royal-level expert would be worn down to death.

In the dim light, Xie Yixiao and the others were having dinner. Dinner was simple, consisting of some easy-to-preserve dried roasted meat and compressed biscuits.

They gathered together, very close to each other.

There was a huge black barrier around them.

Around the barrier, illusory spirits wandered about, some crashing into it and launching various attacks, but none of them could break through its defenses.

"These evil spirits have many tricks up their sleeves."

Xie Yixiao exclaimed in surprise.

He had just witnessed a ghost wielding a magical longsword, displaying exquisite swordsmanship.

And that magical artifact is most likely the weapon of the spirit in its previous life, and it is also its current dwelling place.

During the day, these spirits hide in the magical artifacts, and only appear at night.

"These spirits are all transformed from the dead kings of the Otherworld. Although they have no intelligence, they have retained some of their fighting instincts from their previous lives."

Chen Junhao's voice rang out.

"If you have the guts, you can try to devour the spirits; there are many benefits if you succeed," Sha Yuda said with a smile.

"Never mind, I want to live a few more years," Xie Yixiao said, shaking his head.

He's not that stupid.

Fighting one or two ghosts at night is manageable, but if you attract a large number of ghosts, you're doomed.

As for devouring Yin spirits, only a madman with extraordinary talent would dare to do that.

The spirits are very similar to demons in terms of energy, and can indeed be devoured. After being devoured, one can not only increase their strength, but also gain some of the spirit's combat experience.

Although there are many benefits, few people dare to take advantage of them.

The spirits are not only cold and gloomy, but also retain the consciousness they had in life, making them a hundred times more resistant than demonic spirits.

It is true that some people have tried to devour ghosts, and there are successful examples, but those people are all exceptionally talented geniuses. Most adventurers are killed by ghosts.

Even successful people dare not devour large numbers of ghosts, not only because of the risk of failure, but also because the power of ghosts is not suitable for the human body, and devouring too many will have side effects.

"Xu Rongguang and the others are going out!"

A gasp rang out, and Xie Yixiao looked up to see a figure walking towards the outside of the barrier.

This person was Xu Rongguang.

Not only Xu Rongguang, but several others also got up and stepped out of the barrier.

"Seventeen people went out yesterday, and fourteen came back. Xu Rongguang also went out the day before yesterday and yesterday. I heard that he has successfully devoured three Yin spirits."

Sha Yuda said.

Xu Rongguang dared to leave the barrier because of his extraordinary talent. The Golden Crow he refined on the Earth Ranking was a god-level demon spirit and a demon spirit with extremely yang attributes.

The Yin spirit is not afraid of physical attacks, nor of most soul skills, but it fears only blood and qi and things with extremely yang attributes.

The base is home to the most talented geniuses in the world, second only to the kings. There are quite a few gifted individuals, but very few dare to step out of the barrier.

This is why he exclaimed that Xu Rongguang was a ruthless person.

At night, not only will you be attacked by evil spirits, but you may also be ambushed and assassinated by supernatural beings.

"He's a ruthless character."

Chen Junhao also sighed.

He was physically strong and had refined a demon spirit from the Earth Ranking. Compared to others, his blood and qi were more abundant. In a sense, he could be considered a gifted individual and had the potential to devour Yin spirits, but he dared not step out of the barrier.

Despite his feelings of regret, Chen Junhao did not feel inferior.

Everyone has different talents and abilities, and they choose different paths. Only those who make it to the end are the winners.

Being conservative and cautious is not always a bad thing.

Besides Xu Rongguang, seven or eight other people also got up and left the barrier, and no one stopped them.

At this moment, a group of twenty-seven people silently watched the figures emerge from the barrier. These twenty-seven people had different skin colors and belonged to different countries.

They were all representatives sent by various countries, chatting casually with each other.

They encourage adventurers who break free of the barrier.

While devouring spirits is extremely dangerous, the benefits are numerous. Aside from the increase in strength, the combat experience gained from the spirit's previous life alone makes the risk worthwhile.

That's not something you can buy with money.

If it weren't for the numerous self-destruction sacrifices of the Kings in recent days, and the current gathering of three hundred Kings as a deterrent, causing the Otherworlders to withdraw from the Land of Fallen Gods, it would be impossible to move an inch here.

Let alone devouring Yin spirits, even a brief stay in the Land of Fallen Gods would be a near-death experience.

……

The dark night.

As a ghostly figure flew by, the soft sound of hooves rang out, and sixteen jet-black flying dragon steeds silently appeared, with figures dressed in black on their backs.

"This is the land where gods fell?"

A surprised voice rang out, and the speaker was none other than Dong Yunan.

“Mmmmm…”

The baby ginseng seemed a little scared; the environment made it very uneasy. Just now, a blurry ghostly figure floated by, which terrified the baby.

The little elf patted the ginseng baby's big bald head to soothe it.

Compared to the ginseng baby, she was much bolder.

"Is that a ghost?" Lin Feng asked, watching the departing ghostly figure.

This was the first time he had ever seen a ghost. It was somewhat similar to the ghosts in movies, but much more blurry.

Lin Feng was well aware of the danger posed by the ghosts, but he wasn't afraid; in fact, he was somewhat eager to try.

Nightmares are, in a sense, also spirits. Nightmares can subdue demons; do they have the same effect on spirits?
"The Land of Fallen Gods, is this also the place where you fell?" Lin Feng wondered to himself.

The moment he entered the Land of Fallen Gods, the Nightmare within him stirred. Since regaining his senses, the Nightmare had almost never shown any emotional fluctuations.

"How do we begin?" Yun Kai asked from the side.

"Let's catch one and try it out first," Lin Feng said.

The land of fallen gods has nothing but countless spirits. They waited in place, and soon three spirits sensed their presence and began to drift rapidly toward them.

Besides these three ghostly spirits, five more ghostly spirits drifted towards them from seven or eight hundred meters away, moving at an extremely fast speed, and appeared in everyone's sight a dozen seconds later.

"hiss"

The dragon horse seemed very uneasy, pacing back and forth and neighing.

Thirteen said these ghosts are very dangerous.

"Little Elf Duck Egg translated. She was currently inside Dong Yuna's shirt, with only her head showing. As for Ginseng Baby, she didn't dare to look up and was trembling."

As for Thirteen, that's the number she gave to the dragon steed. According to the Avengers, the members' joining time is represented by sixteen numbers, from one to sixteen.

"Ye Xing, go and try your Qi and Blood Power."

Lin Feng said to Ye Xing.

"it is good."

Ye Xing responded, took a few steps forward, and appeared in front of a ghost. His right hand was surrounded by the power of blood and qi, and he reached out to grab the ghost.

It was the ghost of an adult male, its figure blurry and its features indistinct.

Faced with the attack, the ghost neither attacked nor dodged, but allowed Ye Xing's right hand to touch its body.

"Zizzizi..."

Like water meeting fire, accompanied by billowing smoke and sizzling sounds, the ghost's form dissipated somewhat, clearly indicating that it had been injured.

But it seemed to feel no pain, instead, it followed Ye Xing's arm and gradually merged into Ye Xing's body.

Ye Xing shuddered and exclaimed in surprise, "The yin energy is so strong, I feel like I'm going to freeze to death."

Ye Xing raised his hand, his arm was covered with a layer of frost, which spread to his whole body at a visible speed.

"I'll try unleashing my full power of qi and blood."

Ye Xing said, and the next moment, the massive blood and qi in his body bloomed, enveloping him like a red mist. The Yin spirit that had already merged into most of his body was squeezed out little by little, making his figure appear even more illusory.

"Half of my Qi and blood have been consumed."

As the ghost was squeezed out of his body, Ye Xing threw a punch that passed right through the ghost, but the ghost's shape remained unchanged.

"Physical attacks are indeed ineffective."

Ye Xing said, then smiled bitterly, "With my life force, it would be very difficult to kill it. Even if I succeeded, my life force would probably be completely exhausted."

And that's just the difficulty of killing.

Devouring is far more difficult than killing.

"Try other soul skills on the effects of Yin spirits."

Lin Feng shifted his gaze and said to the others, "At this moment, five or six ghostly spirits have already drifted over."

The group dismounted and formed groups of three, each targeting a ghost and attacking it with various soul techniques.

Five minutes later, everyone except Ye Qiu looked helpless.

Hellfire is very effective against vengeful spirits, but the damage from other people's soul skills is almost zero.

In other words, when they encounter a ghost, they can only flee.

There were seven ghosts in total, but only one was killed.

He was burned to death by hellfire.

Ye Qiu inhaled and exhaled the hellish dragon flames. Sensing the terrifying power of the hellish dragon flames, the surrounding yin spirits began to fear and dared not approach, but they were reluctant to leave.

"More and more ghosts are getting closer."

Bu Yuanlong reminded him.

The experiment just now caused quite a stir and has already attracted the attention of many ghosts. There are already thirty-four ghosts around them. If it weren't for the deterrent effect of the Hellfire Dragon Flame, they would probably have already swarmed them.

A single ghost is not scary; one can resist it with the power of their own blood and energy, or even escape. But if dozens of ghosts swarm at once, they can instantly devour a person's life force and freeze their body.

"Damn, there are more and more of them."

Yun Tianqi cursed, feeling somewhat nervous as he was surrounded by the ghosts.

"Increase the flames."

Yun Tianqi reminded him.

Ye Qiu nodded, and flames shot out in all directions, causing the Yin spirits to retreat further.

"It can only last for a minute at most," Ye Qiu warned.

God-level soul skills are powerful, but they also consume a lot of soul power.

"Let me try."

Lin Feng opened his mouth, and a bubble floated out, drifting towards one of the ghosts.

As the bubbles burst, the ghost's body trembled, and its form became somewhat ethereal.

"Lightning and explosions can cause considerable damage to spirits, but they are too loud to be used lightly."

Lin Feng said that the next moment, when a vengeful spirit appeared behind the Yin Soul, the Yin Soul, which had remained relatively calm even when attacked, began to struggle violently.

Everyone was somewhat bewildered by what they saw.

Is this some kind of trick?
Thirty seconds later, the vengeful spirit disappeared, and the ghost gradually returned to calm, its body becoming somewhat ethereal.

“Wraiths have some effect, but they cannot kill vengeful spirits.”

Lin Feng stepped forward and reached out to touch the Yin spirit, letting it merge into his body.

Everyone held their breath, knowing that Lin Feng was about to begin devouring the Yin spirits.

When the evil spirit entered his body, an extreme chill spread throughout his entire being. Lin Feng could accept this, since his body temperature was much lower than that of an average person.

However, once the ghost has fully integrated into the body, this chilling cold penetrates deep into the bone marrow, gradually numbing the body as if it is about to break apart.

Lin Feng could sense the restless emotions and yearning feelings of the nightmare within his soul sea.

"With my vital energy, it's simply impossible for me to devour a yin spirit."

Lin Feng thought to himself, then closed his eyes.

A moment later, when he opened his eyes, two dark red vortexes swirled within his originally black pupils, looking incredibly sinister.

A dark red, ghostly figure enveloped Lin Feng and swayed as if it were trying to break free.

The moment the ghostly veil appeared, an evil aura suddenly erupted from Lin Feng.

Evil, cold, violent, and chilling.

Sensing this terrifying aura, the ghostly spirits that had been surrounding the group scattered and fled, disappearing in no time.

Meanwhile, the Yin spirit within Lin Feng's body was stiff and, under the watchful gaze of the Nightmare, it dissipated, transforming into energy that merged into every corner of Lin Feng's body, with a large portion of it being absorbed by the Nightmare.

At the same time, some unfamiliar memories flashed through Lin Feng's mind like a revolving lantern.

Those were fragments of the ghost's memories from its previous life.

The most valuable parts of these memories are some insights into power and combat experiences.

The spirits transformed into energy and completely dissipated.

After absorbing the power of the Yin spirits, a trace of cold aura remained in Lin Feng's body.

This is the power of a vengeful spirit; it cannot be devoured, nor can it be expelled from the body.
