Another ghost is coming!

It was just like the 'military soul' at the beginning...but different from the 'ghost soldiers passing through' scene of the military soul, the ghost figures that appeared before their eyes were thinner, as if they would disappear with the wind at any time. They were dragging their ghost bodies around in the woods, and they were not as clear-cut as the wandering souls.

They are less dangerous.

At first glance, one could only vaguely see the outline of its existence - the vaguely discernible figure of a civilian wearing coarse linen clothes!

"It looks like they were civilians who died tragically... or was it because of the 'barbarians'?"

Li Re turned his head and looked behind him, guessing in his heart that this place was not far from the place where the "barbarians" were "eliminated", so it was natural for ghosts transformed from people who died from being parasitized by the barbarians to appear here!

"No matter if it is him or not... just go around him first! These little ghosts are not qualified for me, the Sword Immortal, to 'savior' them! Even if I 'savior' them, it won't be able to eliminate my killing calamity!"

The little sword fairy looked at him and suddenly became expressionless! But the way his whole body was shaking like a sieve made people laugh.

"Then you better hold on tight!"

Li Re said this.

"Okay... hold on tight--!?" Cheng Shiyu hadn't yet reacted to the meaning of this sentence, or rather, even if she had reacted, it seemed too late.

The next second, an even thicker fog rose around Li Re!

This fog diluted the surrounding fog.

Then a buzzing sound was heard - the little sword fairy flew up directly - she was picked up by Li Re again, just like when she left the place where the barbarians were before.

Li Re held the girl's silk-wrapped thighs with one hand and supported her waist with the other!

The guardian spirit of a girl with long black hair also emerged from the ghost fog that was entangled behind him and dragged him up.

The little sword fairy thought to herself that she could obviously fly...but maybe she was used to it or something, she suddenly became too lazy to object.

That's it.

At least flying at low altitudes would not easily lead to getting lost due to the senses being clouded by evil spirits.

But soon, she suddenly realized something was wrong...

"Aren't there too many 'ghosts' along the way?"

The girl put forward the idea in her mind.

Yes.

They shuttled freely among the ghostly fog rising in the forest, hiding in it. They were almost integrated with the fog and could pass through all obstacles directly. They traveled almost as fast as on flat ground, and soon passed through the area where those "ghosts" were wandering.

But soon.

More 'ghosts' appeared ahead.

In the beginning, there were only a few clustered together.

But later on, we saw more and more... The further we went forward, the thinner the trees became!

The more ghosts there are.

But there was no body.

This place is obviously out of the area where the ghosts of creatures killed by the barbarians would roam around.

These ghosts seemed to appear out of thin air...

This is different from the area where the barbarians were previously located.

But even weirder!

"It's weird!"

The little sword fairy's face suddenly became solemn!

Li Re glanced at her and could sense something strange - it felt as if he was about to enter not a populated place, but a 'ghost town'.

Ghosts can be seen everywhere!

This is another interesting thing comparable to "Barbaric"!

Li Re thought so.

"arrive!"

That's when.

Li Re stopped moving forward and said so.

The ghost fog around him gradually dissipated, and the girl's guardian spirit loosened its hand, allowing Li Re to land steadily on the ground.

"Well..."

The little sword fairy, who came back from deep thought, looked sideways, and saw that they had already left the dense forest, and in front of them was a stretch of wild grass. In the wild grass, there was only a broad road spreading out. One end of the road connected to the distance behind them, but the other end stood a majestic city gate! The word "Border Town" hangs high on the top of the city gate!

This is undoubtedly their destination.

And coming and going in front of the city gate, there were indeed the people they were looking for.

"It seems we are overthinking it."

The little sword fairy exhaled lightly and smiled again. She whispered, "It seems that 'Border Town' is still quite normal——"

"There were so many 'ghosts' on the road but not even a single dead body. I thought this city was going extinct!"

indeed.

The current situation clearly shows that they were overthinking it.

Even when Li Re looked up, he could not see anything unusual about the people coming in and out of the city gate - they were indeed 'living people', full of vitality, and able to move freely.

Li Re was quite disappointed!

Cheng Shiyu regained her energy. She twisted her waist and jumped down from the position held by Li Re... Her feet landed firmly on the ground again, and she strode towards the city gate!

That's when.

A clanging sound suddenly rang out!

Li Re and the Little Sword Immortal stopped moving forward at the same time.

Cheng Shiyu widened her eyes slightly—and her body couldn’t help but tremble!

She turned around abruptly and looked towards the source of the sound—towards the dense woods behind her and Li Re, where they had just walked!

I saw the fog in the forest rising again.

The sound of gongs spread from it, carrying with it the mournful sound of long trumpets - shadowy figures also gathered from both sides!

That is...

"Two funeral processions? When?"

The little sword fairy's eyes paused slightly when she saw this strange scene, and she raised her hand and grasped the Chixiao Sword behind her almost without stopping - she thought that the person who could appear behind her silently must be a ghost, so she was so nervous that she was about to swing the sword!

But when she saw the true appearance of the funeral procession, she was stunned.

He stared blankly with his eyes wide open.

Li Re, who turned around, was also stunned like her.

Li Rexu narrowed his eyes.

He saw two 'funeral processions' coming out of the thick fog.

I saw the master of ceremonies holding up a "filial piety" sign, the figures in mourning, the band blowing sad trumpets, and also two carriages carrying black coffins, which were traveling side by side after the team joined up, and the "portrait" placed in front of the coffin.

That was actually a portrait of him and the Little Sword Immortal!

Yes.

This funeral...is his and Cheng Shiyu's funeral!

Almost at the same time——

At the moment when the eyes met the portrait.

The sounds of gongs and trumpets became more and more sudden, and the world seemed to stop for a moment.

Then, a cold wind came from the forest and from the city!

The rustling sound suddenly echoed.

The mourners and the people coming and going in front of the city gate all stopped at the same time.

They raised their eyes and turned their heads to look over at the same time.

He looked at the two people standing outside the city, at the edge of the woods.

Look at them – they’re grinning slightly, revealing a mouthful of ‘buds’!

"!??"

Chapter 215 The Second Barbarian

At this moment, the shadowy "funeral procession" outside the border town did not stop in the swaying trees and mist. It was the same outside the city, and it was also the same for the "people" who were originally coming in and out of the majestic city gate.

They staggered on their feet.

Step by step, he walked towards the young man and woman standing at the edge of the woods outside the city.

The sunlight at this moment was gradually distorted in the mist that had formed again, and the mottled shadows seemed to be covered with a layer of shadow. In the hazy light and shadow, one could see the pale thing coming out of the open mouth of the walking figure.

Bone-like 'buds'!

These people look ordinary on the outside, but their open mouths and even their entire bodies deeper inside their mouths are already covered with such buds!

Pale white buds wriggled inside their bodies like maggots.

There was no doubt that it was something that Li Re and Cheng Shiyu had just seen not long ago.

The "barbarian buds" that grew from the corpse hung high on the barbarian bone tree, which are derivatives of the barbarian species!

really...

"it is as expected."

Li Re suddenly whispered as he glanced at the funeral procession that appeared in the forest behind him, and the strange figures that revealed their "wild buds"!

He seemed to be thinking for a moment.

"What is really like this?"

at this time.

The little sword fairy, who had also recovered from her shock, took a deep breath, raised her hand and finally slowly drew out the 'Chixiao Sword' on her back. The girl, who had combed her long black hair into two strands and fluttered like ribbons on both sides, couldn't help but ask a question when she heard what Li Re said.

“I thought it was weird before.”

Li Re grinned, looking at 'Man Ya' who was approaching slowly, but he was not panicked at all, instead he showed an amused smile.

He whispered, "I'll just show you - and you'll understand!"

Cheng Shiyu blinked her eyes after she finished speaking, and the next second she saw a faint green spiritual fire rising from Li Re's head again - a different scene appeared in the firelight again, but it was no longer the "barbarian bone tree" that he had swallowed... but a clearing covered with green grass, and a dark, deep, abyss-like hole in the middle of the clearing! Countless pale bone buds were clearly visible around the hole!

The little sword fairy's expression changed slightly: "Is this... the place where the barbarian tree was before?"

"Yes."

Li Re responded to her words, "All dead things that have been burned by my spiritual fire will become spiritualized and establish a sense of me. When we left that clearing, I suddenly felt that the place where the wild bud bone tree that I had swallowed and burned with my spiritual fire was suddenly 'empty'!"

"Now it seems that the truth is right before our eyes—"

"That 'barbarian' is probably not the real source of the bone tree—at least not the only source."

"After all, on the other side of the hole revealed after it disappeared, there is another barbarian bone tree!" Li Re's meaning was very clear.

"Then the other wild bone tree may be right in this city in front of us?" The little sword fairy came back to his senses and his eyes paused slightly. The hand holding the hilt of the Chixiao sword on his back could not help but clench it again.

She snorted:

"However, these guys, who are not ghosts, are pretending to be ghosts and setting up a funeral to scare me? They are too naive!"
