Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 165: Top of the Seventh Ghost Hunting Competition!
[Dead Tree Reborn (Orange): Possesses the same strong vitality and regeneration ability as plants.]

"not bad."

The ability itself is relatively ordinary, but as an orange item, its effect is unquestionable.

What's more, Li Kunshan just happens to lack the ability to heal himself.

"Walk."

The tree demon had been dealt with, the mission completed, and Li Kunshan immediately turned back.

When we returned to the venue, it was just dawn.

Walk straight to the three vixen sisters and hand in the task.

"The top spot has changed!"

"Someone has surpassed Lei Gang!"

"It's Li Kunshan!"

There were only five or six hours left before the Monster Hunting Conference ended, and everyone gathered at the venue bored, waiting for the dust to settle.

I thought there wouldn't be any major changes, but at this moment, the list of the giant bronze mirror was updated again.

Lei Gang fell from first place to second place, while Li Kunshan jumped from fourth place to the top of the list. Everyone was shocked to see Li Kunshan replacing Lei Gang.

"Nearly a thousand points!"

"He suddenly gained nearly a thousand points over Lei Gang!"

"How did he do it?"

"It's that mission! Did he complete that mission? He actually completed that tree demon mission!"

Not only did they surpass, but they surpassed by a large margin. After a moment of confusion, everyone immediately guessed the reason and couldn't help but be greatly surprised.

Li Kunshan actually completed the task that had failed many experts.

"It seems there is no suspense."

"Yeah, that's nearly a thousand points short, unless Lei Gang can complete two or three more tasks."

"But there are less than six hours left."

"No chance."

After a while, everyone was amazed and talked about it.

No one expected that Lei Gang, who had been at the top of the list for more than half a month, would be killed by someone at the last moment.

What a pity and lament, awesome!
"There's still time."

Li Kunshan glanced at the huge bronze mirror, then walked to the water tank and picked up another koi.

After receiving the new small bronze mirror, he left without any delay.

"Still going?"

"Oh, that's absolutely incredible! This won't give Lei Gang any chance to overtake."

Seeing Li Kunshan leave again, everyone in the venue couldn't help but laugh and shake their heads. Now the remaining tasks would require at least 500 or 600 points.

If Li Kunshan had added another 500 or 600 points, Lei Gang would have had no chance of overtaking.

If nothing unexpected happens, the final result is displayed now.

There are not so many accidents in the world.

At noon on the third day of the first lunar month, the seventh ghost hunting conference ended!

First place: Li Kunshan.

The second place is Lei Gang.

Third place: Madonna.

Fourth place: Ao Tianlong.

……

Seventh place: Zheng Zibu.

……

Eleventh place: Zhuge Kongping.

……

"Congratulations, Master Kunshan."

As the top of the list, you will receive a bonus of five thousand dollars!
Bai Suzhen offered her congratulations, and then her third sister Feifei presented her with the money.

"Thank you."

Li Kunshan thanked him and took it happily.

After the competition, there was no award ceremony, acceptance speeches or any other bullshit, they just handed out money.

A total of up to the twentieth person were given the prizes, but the number of prizes decreased as the number of prizes went on.

"Another thousand yuan, just one ranking, a difference of five hundred yuan, what a pity."

Zhuge Kongping said this, but his face showed undisguised pride.

Apart from Li Kunshan, how many people come here to compete for money?

They care more about reputation!

Zhuge Kongping was ranked 13th in the last session and 11th in this session, an improvement of two places. He is very satisfied with this result.

After all, compared to the previous session, this session has more people and more experts!

He ranked eleventh in the ghost hunting competition, just one step away from the top ten, which was enough for him to brag about in the spiritual world for a while.

"What a little monster."

While feeling happy, Zhuge Kongping looked at Li Kunshan next to him and secretly curled his lips.

To take the top spot in the first time participating, what else can one be but a monster?

"Everyone, see you next time."

A moment later, the bonuses were distributed.

The meeting is over!

Bai Suzhen waved her hand, and the bronze mirror, water jar, table and other things all disappeared. Just like when they came, the three sisters left.

As they walked into the mountains, the figure suddenly disappeared.

"Congratulations, Master Tianlong!"

"Brother Zhuge, congratulations, two more have advanced."

Although the conference was over, people did not leave immediately.

The rankings have been announced, and others will naturally congratulate those who rank high and take the opportunity to make friends with them.

After all, the vast majority of people did not gain any real benefits from this conference. If they did not take the opportunity to meet some experts, it would be a real waste of their trip.

In fact, many people come here just to socialize.

In the blink of an eye, it was already late. In the evening, everyone lit a bonfire at the venue, prepared good wine and food, and held a grand closing dinner.

Everyone drank and chatted to strengthen their relationship, and then left early the next morning.

"Sure enough, every circle is the same."

In a secluded place in the mountains a few miles away from the venue, Li Kunshan sat cross-legged, looking at the bright light of the bonfire in the direction of the venue, and couldn't help shaking his head.

He is different from those people. He is still young. Compared with socializing, he should spend more time on cultivation and strive to improve his Taoism, rather than dealing with human relationships.

Besides, he is at the top of the list, so is there any need for him to socialize with people who are ranked lower than him?

Just kidding, Li Kunshan sighed and began to concentrate on practicing.

Now that there are four Blood God Sons in my body, my cultivation speed is much faster than before.

"Ok?"

At around one o'clock in the morning, Li Kunshan suddenly opened his eyes.

His face darkened and he slapped behind him with his backhand.

Bang~!

There was a dull thud, and the feeling of being hit solidly.

Then he stood up and turned around.

He saw a man climbing up from not far away. He was the one who was knocked away by his palm just now.

"As expected of the number one spot, you really have some skills."

The other person looked at Li Kunshan, his pale face showing a sinister expression, and two corpse teeth were exposed at the corners of his mouth as he spoke.

"Zombies? No."

Li Kunshan was slightly stunned, then frowned slightly.

Not zombies, but vampires.

He had seen many vampires, all the residents of Jiuquan Town were vampires, but the man in front of him seemed to be a contestant in the ghost hunting convention.

In other words, he is a person who practices cultivation.

Wow~!

The surrounding bushes swayed, and three more people walked out from the shadows. They looked at Li Kunshan with fierce expressions, and two corpse fangs were also exposed at the corners of their mouths.

At this time, Li Kunshan was certain that they were all people from the ghost-hunting convention, and he even had some impression of one of their faces.

He was one of the people who offered paid cheating services just ten days after the conference started.

He is also a vampire?
Li Kunshan couldn't help but wonder if this man had been infected recently, or if he had been a vampire for a long time. "Capture him!"

While he was thinking, the four of them roared and rushed forward.

"Take it?"

Li Kunshan sneered again. It didn't mean "kill him". It seemed that these people wanted to transform him into a vampire as well.

Isn't this the same as the previous dragon-slaying wizard? This matter is becoming more and more interesting.

"It's just up to you? You're not overestimating your capabilities."

The next moment, the four men rushed over. Li Kunshan's face darkened and he raised his hand and slapped them.

Bang Bang Bang ~!

But in the blink of an eye, with a few muffled thuds, all four vampires were knocked to the ground by Li Kunshan.

He tried to get up, but was stabbed several times by Li Kunshan with a silver sword and was on the verge of death on the spot.

Knowing he was at the top of the list, they only showed up with four people. They really didn't treat bean buns as solid food. Or did they think that becoming a vampire made them stronger than most people here?

"It looks like something went wrong."

Looking towards the venue, the flames were jumping violently, mixed with evil spirits, and even faint screams could be heard. Li Kunshan's expression became more serious.

"You guys just stay here for now."

Li Kunshan sealed the acupuncture points of the four people with silver needles and immediately ran to the venue.

Although sealing acupuncture points with silver needles is a minor technique and cannot truly control a person who has achieved success in spiritual practice, it should be fine if it can be used to control the person for a short period of time.

Moreover, these four were stabbed several times by Li Kunshan in the vital parts. Even with their vampire physiques, it would take them a long time to recover.

"It's a zombie!"

"Everyone, be careful!"

"The Corpse Suppression Talisman has no effect!"

"Damn it! The evil-breaking spell is useless!"

When Li Kunshan arrived, he saw that the venue was in chaos. Something had indeed happened.

After the conference ended, there were still about six or seven hundred people left, and nearly a hundred of them had turned into vampires and were attacking everywhere frantically.

Those who can come to participate in the ghost hunting convention all have some skills, but few of them have seen a vampire, let alone know how to deal with it.

Since the spells 'failed', all they had to do was rely on martial arts, but these vampires had strong physiques and terrifying self-healing abilities, and they were monsters in hand-to-hand combat.

Their methods suddenly failed and their kung fu was no match for their opponent. No wonder everyone was thrown into disarray.

"Save people first!"

Seeing that many people were about to be infected by vampires or killed, Li Kunshan released the Blood God Sons No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4, except for No. 3 who was not in human form, and rushed forward immediately.

"Go away!"

A woman was knocked down by a vampire. Li Kunshan stepped forward and kicked her to the ground with a light shout.

Then he thrust out the silver sword in his hand, fiercely piercing through his left chest.

"Ah~!"

The heart was destroyed by the silver, and with a scream, the man looked at Li Kunshan with horror on his face, and the next moment he turned into ashes.

[Kill the vampire and get the entry Blood Boiling (Blue)! ]

"Everyone, listen up! These are Western zombies. Ordinary spells and talismans are useless. Silverware or the power of nature can restrain them!"

Li Kunshan gathered all his strength and shouted loudly, his voice instantly spreading throughout the entire venue.

Boom~Boom~!

At the same time, he raised his hand and summoned several bolts of lightning, which directly turned the three vampires who were about to bite people in the distance into charcoal.

[Kill the vampire and get the entry "Crazy (Blue)"! ]

……

"silverware?"

"The force of nature."

Everyone was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but try.

Many people did not have special silver weapons, but everyone had a few dollars on them, and 90% of the dollars were silver.

Shoot the ocean at the vampire as a hidden weapon, or press it against the forehead like a talisman.

"Ah~!"

With a scream, the vampire was indeed hurt.

“It really works!”

Seeing that it was effective, everyone was excited and immediately felt relieved.

Boom~!

With a loud roar, a bolt of lightning knocked a vampire away. It was not Li Kunshan or Xue Shen Zi, but Zheng Zibu.

Although he doesn't know thunder magic, he is a priest of the Thunder Department and can summon the Thunder Department's generals. He is also good at using the Five Thunder Talismans!
Zheng Zibu's face was gloomy, and then he took out another Five Thunder Talisman.

They were all veterans of the spiritual world, and their mental fortitude was naturally strong. As long as they knew how to control themselves, there was nothing to fear. They quickly regained their composure and quickly reversed the situation.

"Quick! Tie him up!"

"Damn it! Use the silver coins to cut the tendons in his hands and feet first!"

Some people have poor martial arts skills and do not have the means to control fire and thunder, so they simply form groups and follow Li Kunshan and other strong men to act as helpers.

When they saw a vampire being knocked down, they rushed forward and tied up and subdued the vampire.

"hateful!"

"Kill him first!"

Just a moment ago, everything was under control, but suddenly, the situation was completely over. All this was because of Li Kunshan's appearance! The remaining vampires roared in anger, and more than a dozen of them pounced on Li Kunshan.

Even if I can't complete the mission, I have to kill Li Kunshan to vent my anger.

"act recklessly."

Li Kunshan sneered and looked disdainful.

Boom~!

The vampire's sharp fangs and claws were right in front of him. Suddenly, a large amount of thunder surged out of Li Kunshan's body, directly knocking them away.

In addition to Li Kunshan, the Blood God Son also received special attention from the vampires. Although they did not know the relationship between the Blood God Son and Li Kunshan, they could feel the threat from the Blood God Son.

All the Blood God Sons have all of Li Kunshan's methods. In order not to attract attention, although they try not to use thunder magic, it is no problem to deal with a few vampires.

Buzz~!

On the side of number four, when the five vampires approached, golden light suddenly shone around them, and the dazzling light temporarily forced the vampires back.

After the large-scale fusion, the number of remaining entries was limited, so Li Kunshan simply assigned the newly merged [Reincarnation of a Spiritual Child] to Number 4. Number 4's childlike appearance was a perfect match for this entry.

"That is……"

Not far away, a monk dressed as a lama saw this scene and looked horrified.

"retreat!"

"Run!"

In just a moment, more than half of the vampires were killed or captured, and there were only about forty left. Seeing that the situation was not good, they shouted and turned around to flee.

"Don't let them get away! Chase them!"

The crowd was not willing to give up and continued to chase.

After about half an hour, they came back one after another and captured and killed a dozen vampires.

As for the rest, they have fled into the mountains and disappeared completely.

"Quick! Those who are injured, come here!"

"Arrest those Western zombies!"

After the battle, everyone cleaned up the mess on their own initiative.

Some of them were treating the wounded, especially those who had been scratched or bitten by vampires, who were afraid that they had been infected with corpse poison. Fortunately, there were many extraordinary people here, and some of them had ways to temporarily curb the corpse poison.

Others went to interrogate the vampires.

"I found out!"

Soon, the whole story was figured out.

As expected, these vampires had planned this in advance, with the goal of infecting the people attending this ghost hunting convention!
At the beginning, there were only ten vampires. During the one month of the competition, they attacked secretly, and the number snowballed, eventually expanding to nearly a hundred people.

Seeing that the conference was about to end and everyone would go their separate ways tomorrow, the vampire, with his confidence inflated, actually wanted to infect all the remaining people in one go, so he launched a surprise attack.

Everything went smoothly at first, but unexpectedly, someone knew the vampire's secrets, and in the end, they suffered heavy losses and failed.

Most of the captured vampires were infected and transformed later, so not much information is known about them.

The next one was one of the original ten vampires and revealed many unknown secrets.

But the most important point is that he never mentioned who his so-called "master" was or where he was. This was not out of loyalty, but because he was under some kind of restriction.

There were many experts present, but no one could break this restriction.

"The same..."

After listening, Li Kunshan's expression became serious. These people were just like the Dragon Slayer.

He couldn't help but frown. It seemed that the so-called 'master' was no longer satisfied with ordinary people, but extended his evil hands into the spiritual world, wanting to transform those who practiced cultivation into his slaves!
