The demon monk in the second dimension

In the Ghost Lake, where neither ghost tamers nor vengeful spirits could move, a female corpse slowly swam towards Xia Zhi from all around.

She was dressed in a white dress, her eyes were empty and lifeless, her pupils were unfocused, she was not a living person, but she had a strange smile on her face.

This smile doesn't represent a specific expression, but rather, like a figurine, it's a fixed image.

She came to Xia Zhi's side, her black hair floating in the lake like an octopus, and stretched out her hands to hug Xia Zhi.

But just then, Xia Zhi's cloak suddenly expanded, stopping her.

The female corpse's hands were pressed against the cloak, and she did not actually make contact with Xia Zhi.

Despite this, the bandages beneath Xia Zhi's cloak were also attacked and were gradually being eroded.

Ghost Lake is the female corpse's domain; all the water is her supernatural manifestation and can be used as a medium for invasion.

Just then, a large amount of black mud suddenly gushed out from Xia Zhi's mouth and nostrils, shooting towards the female corpse like sharp arrows.

Just as the black mud was attaching itself to the female corpse and preparing to devour it, the corpse suddenly disappeared, leaving Xia Zhi empty-handed.

Chapter 439 Erosion and Anti-Erosion

"Disappeared?"

After the female corpse disappeared, the black mud wandered around for a moment before returning to the body of the knocking ghost.

Summer Solstice paused for a moment, then chose to continue waiting in place.

A few minutes later, the female corpse who had just parted ways with Xia Zhi swam down from above and met him again.

In the dim, hazy light, Xia Zhi watched as the female corpse floated by like a jellyfish, her clothes drifting slowly in the water.

Only when he got closer did he realize that the female corpse was wearing a gray-black cloak similar to his own, which covered her little white dress.

"Is this a copy of my power?"

Xia Zhi looked at the female corpse with great interest.

In her view, whatever power this ghost lake possessed, she would gain power after devouring it.

"A calm lake surface can be used as a mirror, and many people in ancient times compared lake surfaces to mirrors, so it's not incomprehensible that Ghost Lake has rules for replication. If that's really the case, then it's incredible!"

Dozens of fierce ghosts are sealed in Ghost Lake. Even a ghost of the level of the Knocking Ghost will become unable to move if it falls into Ghost Lake.

If Ghost Lake were to replicate the power of all these vengeful spirits, then an absolutely terrifying final vengeful spirit would be born!

When the female corpse, now wearing an extra cloak, approached her again, Xia Zhi did not use the black mud directly. Instead, she infused the power of the black mud into the bandage.

Two bandages, like snakes, approached the female corpse in the water, probing it.

The power of the black mud eroded the surroundings along Xia Zhi's body, taking control of a small portion of the lake water, attempting to turn Ghost Lake into its own territory and gain some mobility.

The bandages released by the summer solstice do not swim in the lake, but rather control a portion of the surrounding water, which adheres to the bandages and fights against the waters of the ghost lake.

As the two bandages approached her, the female corpse, like a curious child, stretched out her pale hands and grabbed the bandages.

In an instant, Xia Zhi sensed that the bandage was being attacked by a cold, sinister force, as if it were melting and about to turn into lake water and merge into the Ghost Lake, becoming a part of it.

"I've always been the one who swallows others with black mud, but today someone actually wants to swallow me!"

A smile appeared on Xia Zhi's face.

"Then let's have a competition to see whose ability to corrode is stronger!"

He increased his power, and four more bandages floated out from his body, flying towards the female corpse's legs, waist, and neck.

The four bandages moved very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they wrapped the female corpse up.

Just as the power of the black mud was about to suppress and devour the female corpse along the bandages, the female corpse suddenly disappeared again.

A few minutes later, Xia Zhi looked up and saw the female corpse swimming down from above once again.

After several attempts to communicate with the female corpse, each time she managed to escape, Xia Zhi guessed.

"Is the entire lake this ghost's territory? This ghost might just be a concept called 'Ghost Lake,' able to use the corpses in the lake as temporary bodies at any time? Once she discovers that she needs to be sealed or restricted, she can immediately dissipate into the lake water and find a new body."

Xia Zhi frowned slightly, pondering for a moment.

"That's quite troublesome. So, if I want to eat the ghosts in Ghost Lake peacefully without being disturbed by it, I first need to devour the entire lake?"

Above the third level of Ghost Lake, the female ghost continued to come again and again, clearly determined to wear you down even if she couldn't defeat you.

When Xia Zhi sank into the third level of the Ghost Lake just after the summer solstice, he saw countless corpses. These corpses could all become vessels for the ghost in the Ghost Lake, making them extremely troublesome.

Then, Xia Zhi looked down at the ground below.

"Given my current size, this is a huge undertaking. Perhaps we should first explore the bottom of the lake and see if there's a way to break this deadlock."

Summer Solstice extended two bandages, temporarily blocking the path of the female corpse.

These two bandages were incredibly flexible, wrestling with the female corpse in the water.

The black mud covering them made them less susceptible to being melted by the female corpse.

Meanwhile, Xia Zhi herself continued to sink until she reached the bottom of the lake.

It was pitch black all around, without a single ray of light.

Xia Zhi put a little black mud into his ghost eye, simulating two tiny pupils, to release the suppression of the ghost lake on his ghost eye and allow him to see his surroundings clearly.

The lakebed is like a normal riverbed, with some gravel and silt.

But soon, Xia Zhi saw a black coffin.

This coffin is several sizes larger than a regular coffin. If it was made according to height, the person inside must be at least 2.5 meters tall.

The coffin at the bottom of the lake was not completely closed; a corner of it was open.

Black hair floated out of the coffin, like seaweed at the bottom of a lake, which was both eerie and frightening, and made people think of many ghost stories related to seaweed at the bottom of a lake.

Once Xia Zhi got within three meters of the coffin, she stopped advancing.

He stood there, mouth agape, clumps of black mud spilling out.

The black mud in Ghost Lake was like drifting black smoke, floating towards the black coffin in front and quickly attaching to it.

In an instant, the black mud spread out, enveloping the black coffin and rapidly eroding the large coffin and the lake water inside, thus blocking the connection between the Ghost Lake and the black coffin.

Xia Zhi then discovered that there was a female corpse inside the black coffin, but she was dressed in the clothes of the head of headquarters.

This surprised Xia Zhi.

"Besides Cheng Hao, were there other headquarters leaders who died in Ghost Lake? And in black coffins at the bottom of the lake at that?"

Cao Yanhua had never mentioned this to him.

Of course, it's also possible that he didn't know either.

"Since the coffin has already been opened, whatever was inside must have escaped long ago. It should be the ghost from this Ghost Lake. I just don't know what's going on with this headquarters manager. Could it be that she opened the black coffin? Or can I use this coffin to imprison the ghost again?"

Xia Zhi circled the coffin, studied it carefully for a while, and finally shook her head.

"No, this coffin is only as effective as my bandages. If I suppress this female corpse, she'll just be given another body. I'll still have to do hard labor!"

Xia Zhi closed the coffin, sat cross-legged on the black coffin, and released the black mud from her body.

It's like dropping ink into clear water.

Starting from the black coffin at the bottom of the lake, Xia Zhi unleashed the strongest move of this Blood God Child, releasing clumps of black mud from his body.

Soon, he and the black coffin were completely enveloped in black mud.

The ghost in the Ghost Lake, undeterred, manipulated another female corpse to approach Xia Zhi.

With a smile that didn't belong to a living person on her face, she entered the area enveloped by the black mud in a manner that was less like swimming and more like floating.

The black mud was incredibly ferocious, like thousands of steel needles piercing into the woman's corpse, trying to corrode it.

In just a moment, the ghost, realizing it was about to be suppressed, abandoned the female corpse and sought another host.

However, within the area affected by the black mud, the rules remain different from those in Ghost Lake.

The female corpse abandoned by the ghosts in the Ghost Lake did not disappear; instead, it remained.

In the blink of an eye, the black mud on Xia Zhi's body devoured the out-of-control female corpse and transformed it into part of the black mud's power.

After devouring the female corpse, the black mud continued to spread outward, expanding its territory.

After the black mud spread to an area of ​​several meters in radius, Xia Zhi even activated the seventh layer of the Ghost Domain to help the black mud accelerate its erosion.

Most ghosts lack intelligence. Once their rules for killing are violated, they will attack again and again.

Before long, another female corpse swam down from above, opened her arms and plunged into the black mud, as if to embrace it.

In the blink of an eye, the black mud had enveloped the female corpse.

The ghost in Ghost Lake once again relinquished control of the female corpse, sending her to be devoured by the black mud.

This cyclical process lasted for three whole days.

Xia Zhi had no idea where all these corpses in the Ghost Lake came from, so that the ghosts in the lake could use them.

Meanwhile, over the course of three days, the black mud from the summer solstice continued to expand its territory, occupying the entire lakebed and eroding one-tenth of Ghost Lake.

But that's about it.

The amount of black mud is limited. By the time of the summer solstice, all the black mud had been released, but it was only enough to cover the bottom of Ghost Lake.

Meanwhile, it seems that all the corpses in Ghost Lake have been consumed, and no more female corpses are coming to cause trouble for Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi raised her head and looked up at the three-tiered ghost lake above, lost in thought.

"Looks like I need to change my approach."

He mobilized his vast black mud domain, choosing to abandon a portion of the lakebed and begin eroding upwards.

There are dozens of ghosts in Ghost Lake. After devouring them, the amount of black mud will surely increase considerably.

At this point, the ghosts in Ghost Lake no longer have a vessel and can only use the power of Ghost Lake itself.

However, Xia Zhi also occupied a layer of Ghost Lake, using the lake water to fight against the lake water, and was not afraid of him.

The ghostly realm, even darker than the lake water, continued to extend upwards, and soon something was discovered.

The stronger the ghost imprisoned in Ghost Lake, the lower it is located.

Summer Solstice discovered that the closest ghost to the fourth level of Ghost Lake was a ghost dressed in an old-fashioned Chinese long gown with flowing sleeves.

This outfit is very special; only comedians wear it when they go on stage.

As summer solstice approached, a piece of black mud extended from the leg of the vengeful ghost and continued to spread upwards.

The power to suppress the evil spirits in the lake is 90% concentrated in the Ghost Lake, while Xia Zhi only has 10%.

When the ghost realm of Xia Zhi replaced the water of the ghost lake and enveloped the vengeful ghost, the ghost began to slowly turn its head, its two eyes staring straight at Xia Zhi.

His feet also took a step, lifting up little by little.

This is already within the seventh level of the ghost realm, and the movements of the vengeful ghosts are greatly hindered.

If the Ghost Domain hadn't been activated, Xia Zhi would have already been attacked by a vengeful ghost.

In the ghost realm, under Xia Zhi's control, the black mud accelerated its movements, rapidly devouring upwards from the vengeful ghost's legs.

When the black mud spread to the waist of the vengeful ghost, the long-robed ghost was subjected to extremely strong suppression and its body became immobile.

After devouring the vengeful ghost, Xia Zhi was able to control even more black mud, which once again encroached upon 3%-4% of the Ghost Lake.

His ghostly aura continued to spread upwards, where he discovered a vengeful ghost bound by iron chains.

When this vengeful ghost entered the ghost realm of the summer solstice, his body began to tremble violently.

The iron chains binding the vengeful ghost rattled, as if they were about to break free.

Summer Solstice, carrying black mud, rushed forward, engulfing and devouring the vengeful ghost. The iron chains, which were clearly effective in suppressing the ghost, were then put away.

There are quite a few ghosts in the third level of the Ghost Lake.

In addition to the two vengeful ghosts mentioned above, Xia Zhi also saw a ghost whose body was covered in mud that had not been washed away by the lake water, a vengeful ghost whose head was the only thing left, and a vengeful ghost whose body was stiff but whose size was very large.

These vengeful ghosts all met the same end: they entered the belly of the black mud and became part of the summer solstice.

Meanwhile, the erosion of Ghost Lake by the summer solstice is also increasing.

One and a half, two and a half, two and a half...

Half a month later, when the summer solstice devoured all the ghosts and ghost tamers in the Ghost Lake, the amount of water under his control was now equal to that of the Ghost Lake.
