Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

With the harvest in his bag, Jiang Chuan dared not linger in the mountains any longer.

After gathering the rabbit meat and skin, he looked up at the sky, figuring he could still make it into the city before nightfall, and headed back along the main road.

We'll explore the deeper areas tomorrow.

At first, everything was normal.

The official road was flat, and the evening breeze carried the scent of grass and trees. Jiang Chuan walked briskly, and the spoils in his backpack put him in a good mood.

The change came without warning.

It was as if someone in the far distance had suddenly pulled away all the light from the world.

The sky darkened visibly, and within a few breaths, a hazy gloom enveloped the surrounding area.

A cool breeze swept along the ground, gusts of which slipped into his collar.

Jiang Chuan paused, his brows furrowing.

That's not right.

Although it was his first day in this world, he was not so bad as to make a mistake on such a trivial matter as the time of day.

According to the time he had calculated before leaving home, he was absolutely able to get back to the county town before the city gates closed in the evening.

But it got dark earlier than expected.

Something is wrong...

Jiang Chuan sensed a chilling aura, and his nerves immediately tensed. He quietly nocked an arrow and quickened his pace.

The surrounding woods were completely silent, the shadows of the trees near and far blurred into a gray-black mass.

He looked back at the road ahead, but the entire official road had already faded into darkness and could no longer be seen.

The unease in Jiang Chuan's heart gradually grew.

He quickened his pace, eager to get back to the city as soon as possible.

The surroundings were eerily quiet.

There were no insects chirping, no birds singing, and even the rustling of the wind through the grass had disappeared.

Between heaven and earth, it seemed as if only he remained, accompanied only by the sound of his own footsteps.

Suddenly, Jiang Chuan stopped.

A few steps ahead, in the middle of the official road, a dark figure had appeared out of nowhere.

The thing had its back to him and remained motionless, as if someone had cut out a human-shaped piece of black paper and pasted it on the road.

Jiang Chuan stared at the other person, a chill running down his spine. He shouted sharply:

"Who's there!"

"Which bastard is playing tricks? State your name!"

Two shouts were hurled at the other party, but there was no response.

Jiang Chuan narrowed his eyes.

I don't care if you're human or ghost!

In the blink of an eye, he drew his bow and nocked an arrow, the movement swift and decisive, and shot the arrow without any hesitation.

Whoosh!

The arrow pierced the back of the dark figure.

There were no screams.

The dark shadow vanished like a wisp of ink blown away by the wind, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Strangely enough, he didn't hear a sound at all where the arrow landed!

Moreover, the surrounding scenery remained completely unchanged.

The darkness only grew thicker.

next moment.

What happened next sent chills down Jiang Chuan's spine was terrifying.

Two more dark figures appeared in front of him, standing side by side with their backs to him, still motionless!

Jiang Chuan gasped in shock: "What the hell is this thing?!"

In the original owner's memories of more than ten years, she had never encountered anything like this before!

What's wrong?

And wouldn't you know it, he just happened to run into it on his one trip out of town!

Without a second thought, he turned and left.

result.

He felt like he was nailed to the spot.

The reason was simple: behind him stood a dark figure, completely blocking his escape route!

What made his hair stand on end even more was that, just as he turned around, he caught a glimpse of the two dark figures in front of him moving!

They moved close to the ground, silently, and with an indescribable awkward posture, they were rushing towards him!

Holy crap!!

Jiang Chuan's scalp blew.

At the critical moment, a blazing light suddenly tore through the sky above!

The azure flames fell like meteors, crashing heavily into the darkness.

A wave of heat rolled in and hit us!

The three dark figures surrounding him were instantly torn apart by the flames, bursting into flames and emitting a series of shrill and terrifying screams!

The flames seemed to be a natural counter to this monster; in a moment, the dark figure was burned into a wisp of smoke.

The smell of burning permeated the air.

The mournful echo still seemed to linger in my ears.

By the time Jiang Chuan came to his senses, the daylight had returned to normal.

It was dusk.

But two figures suddenly appeared out of nowhere not far in front of him.

One male and one female.

The man was in his early twenties, dressed in a gray-blue outfit with neatly trimmed cuffs. He held a long sword in his hand, with a bluish-green flame swirling around its blade, burning but not intense, as if it were alive.

The woman was dressed in a plain white dress, with a cool and aloof appearance. A moon wheel hung beside her, its center gleaming coldly, while seven-colored flames swirled around its rim, creating a dreamlike and illusory scene.

The two of them merely glanced at Jiang Chuan before starting to talk as if no one else was around.

The man breathed a sigh of relief: "Phew... thankfully I caught up with this guy in time and prevented it from entering the city, otherwise it would have been troublesome."

The woman nodded, her eyes still filled with lingering fear: "For every person this ghost kills, it creates another ghostly shadow. If it were to truly slaughter this county, even the two of us combined might not be a match for it. I'm afraid we'd have to call upon Lord Ye Hua himself!"

The man then turned his gaze to Jiang Chuan and smiled, "It's all thanks to this young man that its attack was triggered, which held this ghost back for a moment."

"...Huh? This person's qi and blood are weak, and his cultivation has not yet reached the first level, but his spirit is quite special. No wonder he can attract its attention."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan's heart skipped a beat. The other party could actually see that his soul was abnormal?

He clasped his hands in greeting and stepped forward, about to ask for guidance.

"Alright, Senior Brother Meng."

The woman had already picked something up from the ground with a flick of her wrist and urged, "We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's go back and report as soon as possible."

"Um."

The man responded and then looked away from Jiang Chuan.

They didn't ask a single question from beginning to end.

It seems that his powerful soul is not surprising, nor is it worth the two of them wasting their time.

In the next instant, the two figures blurred and disappeared into the distance, turning into afterimages.

on the official road.

Jiang Chuan was left alone, bewildered in the wind.

He stood there for a long time before he regained his heartbeat.

Those two people are most likely the legendary commanders of troops.

The level of understanding is not apparent.

However, judging solely by the sheer force of their attack, they were not as formidable as a Body Tempering cultivator.

However, the vitality within them was frighteningly strong, like two furnaces that were burning fiercely at all times!

And those two ultimate weapons...

Even from a distance, he felt it was extraordinary, but it was a pity he couldn't get a closer look.

A gust of evening wind blew by, and Jiang Chuan suddenly felt a chill. He then realized that his back was soaked with cold sweat.

Jiang Chuan came to his senses and realized that he already knew a thing or two about what the Commander of the Army was.

But what exactly was that strange black shadow?!

The two men said it was a ghost.

ghost!?

Jiang Chuan is no stranger to such things.

Ghosts are nothing more than the souls of the dead, mere remnants of their spirits. They fear the masculine and avoid the light of day, and thus cannot amount to anything.

But it would never behave so strangely!

Jiang Chuan took a deep breath, the chill in his heart still lingering, but then he suddenly realized...

this world.

It's probably not as simple as he thinks.
