Chapter 258: The human race that can be contracted?
"Montenegro!"
The so-called coexistence of humans and ghosts is naturally just a joke. When human popularity is not enough to suppress evil ghosts, murders will naturally occur frequently. The small town not far away has turned into a slaughterhouse , or a ghost banquet, where hundreds of ghosts eat.
roar!
Although there were no ghosts within the detectable range that made him want to devour them, since the master had given the order, he naturally had to carry it out resolutely. The moment the words fell, the black wolf with blue ghost flames wrapped around its limbs rushed towards the town.
As the black wolf ran, the ghost flames on its body became more and more intense. Although its body did not become larger, it was still as fierce as an ordinary wolfhound.
But the flames on its body seemed to have their own consciousness and thoughts. Every time its front paws took a step forward, a ball of flame would split off and fall behind it, transforming into a ghost flame wolf made entirely of flames. Its appearance and size were exactly the same as Black Mountain.
When Heishan rushed to the archway at the entrance of the town, there were already nearly three hundred Ghost Flame Wolves following him. They were connected in a large group with astonishing power. The blazing blue ghost flames even lit up half of the sky in the town.
However, at this moment in the town, almost every household had its doors and windows closed, and there was no sound at all. Even though there was such an unusual movement, it was so quiet that there was no reaction.
Awooo~
Heishan stood on the street in the center of the town, looked up and let out a wolf howl towards the sky, and a strong and tangible demonic energy seemed to rise from Heishan's body into the sky, instantly poking a huge hole in the heavy and depressing clouds in the sky. Then, using this as a starting point, it forcibly pushed the cumulonimbus clouds hanging above the town away.
The bright and clear full moon suddenly appeared from behind the clouds, and its dim light fell on the town that was soaked by the rain, as well as on the blue ghost flame wolves that were running to all parts of the town.
Woohoo——
A weeping and complaining voice sounded, but it did not last for a moment before it stopped abruptly with a wolf howl. The Ghost Flame Wolf, which had swallowed a ghost, expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The replenished Ghost Flame Wolf seemed to have a life of its own. It excitedly wagged its tail, and even revealed greed in its eyes, which were made entirely of flames, as it continued to search for the next target.
"Young Master, you really know how to raise dogs!"
Seeing that the ghost energy that was almost mixed with the human life in the town and was difficult to distinguish from the human life, and even surpassed the human life, was dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye and was gradually eliminated in an orderly manner, the black-armored ghost general holding the skeleton sword said with admiration.
If it was simply chopping and killing, or even the slightly more complicated task of leading troops in battle, it would not be a problem for him. However, it was a delicate job to eliminate all the ghosts that were mixed with the humans in the shortest possible time while protecting their safety. This was a bit difficult for him.
The most difficult thing about ghosts is their strangeness, especially those weak ghosts that are huge in number, have no entity, and are invisible and wordless.
They can hide in a dark corner or crack in the wall, or even in a mirror, a comb, a piece of paper or a pen.
If it were in the underworld, he would naturally have nothing to worry about . Even a roar could easily wipe out thousands of them. However, in the human world, facing ghosts mixed with humans, he naturally could not do so. Otherwise, while killing the ghosts, he would also slaughter the humans as well.
"This is not a dog, but a wolf, and the most capable wolf king under my command in the future!"
Feng Qing'an watched Heishan's performance and felt satisfied. However, when he heard the praise, he not only did not smile, but instead corrected the ghost general with a serious face.
"Phantom Wolf King? I understand!"
Hearing Feng Qing'an's words, Xu Wuding immediately reacted. The target of this young man's search was basically to conquer the Youlang Demon Kingdom. The Youlang in front of him who was killing and devouring evil spirits in the town was the Youlang King he had chosen. His intention was obvious.
"Um!"
Feng Qing'an nodded, and withdrew his gaze from the small town not far away that was almost swallowed by evil spirits, and looked at the vague dark gap behind them.
This is a gap that connects the human world and the underworld, and it is a newly created gap, torn apart by Xu Wuding himself.
Such an unusual scene also made Feng Qing'an feel particularly heavy, because he knew that under normal circumstances, if the powerful ghosts in the underworld wanted to go to the human world, they would have to pay an extremely tragic price and it would never be so easy.
Even for an existence like Donghuang, even if she possesses a powerful foundation beyond her current realm, if she wants to come to the world, she will have to pay a price that she is not willing to bear.
However, at this moment, it is just a lower-level ghost, but it can easily create a dark gap leading to the human world. In such a situation, how can people not feel worried.
If the ghost king in the underworld could lead the ghosts under his command to the human world at will, it would not take long before the human world would be filled with the underworld and purgatory.
But under normal circumstances, this would never be the case. Only in extremely special circumstances would a gap between the human world and the underworld be created, and it could be torn apart by the ghost king in the underworld.
That is, the environment in the human world is rapidly deteriorating and becoming extremely close to the underworld. Under the resonance of the laws of the Tao, at a certain level, the human world and the underworld, which were originally overlapping, will naturally be connected. Even if the Ghost King does not deliberately create them, gaps and channels connecting the two worlds will be born one after another.
In the human world, situations similar to the netherworld may occur, either when a dynasty declines and enters its final years, with warlords fighting for their own interests, or when foreign races invade and massacre cities, resulting in no crowing of roosters for thousands of miles and bones exposed in the wild.
In other words, as long as a large-scale massacre occurs in the human world, the resentment and unwillingness that arise when a large number of lives lose their lives will naturally collide with the laws of heaven and earth in that area and connect to the underworld.
By then, not to mention a hundred ghosts roaming at night, even tens of thousands of ghosts wreaking havoc on a country will appear. It is better to say that they have already appeared at this moment. After all, the small town that Feng Qingan saw in front of him was just a corner of the place.
"Sir, your humble servant..."
After standing there and watching for a while, Xu Wuding could no longer hold back, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Feng Qingan.
“Forget it!”
"Sir?"
Xu Wuding raised his head and looked at the young man in white in front of him with some confusion, not understanding why he was unwilling to even listen to what he had to say.
"I know you can't bear to see humans suffer, and I know what you want to do, but you have to be clear about one thing. The ghost kingdom is empty, and there is no way to estimate how many ghosts have flooded into the human world. Even if you clear out ghosts day and night, those evil ghosts will definitely kill more people than you save."
The general had such an upright character, how could Feng Qing'an not guess what he wanted to do.
"I'm going to kill the Ghost King!"
Xu Wuding answered decisively.
"After you kill the Ghost King, what do you expect those ghosts to be frightened by the Ghost King's death and retreat back to the netherworld? Don't dream on!"
Feng Qing'an attacked the ghost general mercilessly. In the underworld, even the ghost king could not resist the temptation of human souls, let alone those who came to the human world.
All you see are human beings, and everywhere are walking tonics. In such a world, which ghost would be willing to leave?
Even if there is a danger of being reduced to ashes, some ghosts are willing to take the risk. Not every ghost knows how to weigh the pros and cons. They themselves can easily go crazy and lose control, and they themselves have incomplete brains.
"I wonder if you have any good ideas?"
Seeing Feng Qing'an's tone, Xu Wuding was silent for a moment, then he bowed and asked respectfully.
He also knew that killing alone would not be able to solve the predicament of the human dynasty before him. Although it was difficult for him to imagine what this dynasty had done to attract the coming of the underworld, now was not the time to worry about these things. Instead, he had to save the people here from the gossips of ghosts and monsters as soon as possible and save them from disaster.
"Let me ask you, General. Why did all these ghosts, including the Ghost King, leave the netherworld and even risk being struck by lightning to come to the human world?"
Feng Qingan did not answer but asked instead.
"It is naturally the blood, energy and soul of the human race."
This was a question that did not require any thought, but Xu Wuding still pondered for a moment before answering cautiously.
"Yes, let me ask you again, General, why does this ghost want to devour the blood, energy and souls of the human race?"
“…”
When Xu Wuding heard Feng Qingan's question, his expression became strange. This question was like asking why humans need to eat?
"Of course, it is to enhance our own strength."
Although he thought the question Feng Qing'an asked was ridiculous, Xu Wuding still answered it truthfully.
"Since the real goal is to improve strength, then, if a rare treasure suddenly appears in the Netherworld that can help even a ghost king reach a higher level, do you think the ghost king will stay in the human world and devour the blood and souls of humans, or will he return to the Netherworld to fight for the rare treasure?"
Feng Qing'an spoke in a calm tone, slightly revealing the solution that had just come to him in a flash of inspiration.
A ghost country may have at least a million ghosts, not to mention the number of ghosts. With such a large number of ghosts pouring into the human world, how can we eliminate the ghosts without harming human lives and ensuring the safety of the people?
Even if an immortal came, he would be terrified. Saving one person is easy, saving ten people is not difficult, and saving a hundred people is not a difficult task. However, when the number rises to tens of thousands, even an immortal would not be willing to help.
The cause and effect are too heavy!
"If, as you said, even the Ghost King can go one step further and be promoted to the rank of Ghost Immortal, then even the dumbest Ghost King will not care much about the human world and will definitely turn around and leave."
Xu Wuding listened to Feng Qing'an's hypothesis and answered decisively without even thinking about it.
"Is this kind of rare treasure enough to seduce those ghosts that have drifted from the underworld to the human world?"
"If there is such a rare treasure, not to mention millions of ghosts, even tens of millions will flock back to the netherworld!"
After Xu Wuding thought for a moment, he slowly answered, his eyes gleaming with golden light.
"But the prerequisite is that these ghosts must be able to sense the breath of the exotic treasure, so that they can be tempted by it."
"That's no problem."
Feng Qingan is full of confidence.
"Young Master, do you have such a rare treasure?"
Seeing Feng Qing'an like this, Xu Wuding, who was originally worried about how to deal with the millions of ghosts that had flowed into the human world, was suddenly quite surprised, but also a little nervous. If this young man had a treasure that could allow the Ghost King to be promoted to an immortal, would he really be willing to give it out?
"Of course there is."
Feng Qing'an smiled without saying a word, with his hands behind his back, looking towards the town not far away. The ghost girl Nan Ge who followed closely behind him had a worried look on her face and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
As one of the people who knew Feng Qingan's background best, Nan Ge could probably guess what Feng Qingan wanted to do, but she wanted to stop him, but she didn't know how to start.
Awooo~
Just as the ghost general wanted to continue talking to Feng Qingan, a slightly strange wolf howl sounded from the town, and then Feng Qingan's face became strange.
“Bring it here!”
Through Heishan's perspective, Feng Qing'an saw the "person" burning in flames among the dilapidated ruins and gave the order.
In less than a moment, a seven-foot-tall "person" with cracked skin and hot lava flowing from the cracks was thrown in front of Feng Qing'an by several pale ghost flame wolves.
“Interesting.”
[Type: Yama]
[Attributes: Magic, Fire]
[Potential Level: General·Medium]
[Combat Power Level: Spiritual Awakening·Superior]
A very weak alien creature, so weak that even Black Mountain's Ghost Flame clone could suppress it. However, what really made Feng Qing feel strange and interested was the chaotic aura on him.
The breath of the human race!
The guy in front of him looked roughly the same as a human, with cracked skin and flames constantly flowing out of his body. He still had the familiar human aura that Feng Qingan was familiar with.
With Feng Qing'an's current vision and knowledge, he thought of the changes in Shen Miao's aura when he awakened his Qilin bloodline. In a short period of time, his aura and the source of his power underwent earth-shaking changes.
"Who are you?"
The young man struggled to get up from the ground, looking at the huge army of ghosts in front of him with fear.
These beings in front of him, even the girl in purple skirt who looked the most slender among them, made him feel as insignificant as an ant. It seemed that he could not defeat anyone. No matter who was here, they could easily crush him to death.
"Do we look like humans to you?"
Hearing this question, Feng Qingan asked back with a smile.
The young man shook his head subconsciously, but when he saw Feng Qing'an's face, he nodded quickly. No matter what, the young man in front of him, who seemed to be about the same age as him, should be a human. His instinct told him so.
"What about you? Do you still think you are human?"
"Of course I am a human!"
The boy answered decisively without any hesitation.
