Chapter 67 A Proliferation of Talented Individuals
"Don't just stand there, young man, come here!"
Old Man Tian shouted anxiously at Chi Le, who was still standing in the same spot.
Why is this young man so dazed?
It's one thing to just stand there at the village entrance at noon.
How come they still don't know how to hide when they're about to die?
Snapped.
In the distance, the [Fragrance-Eating Ghost] tossed aside the lifeless corpse of the villager it had already devoured.
The body crashed heavily to the ground with a dull thud.
As if propelled by an invisible wind, the elusive mist began to slowly approach Chi Le.
Just then, the Fragrance Fairy floated towards the stunned young man in front of him.
Old Man Tian grew even more anxious and called out softly.
"Run! As long as you don't leave the village, run anywhere!"
"The Fragrance Immortal moves slowly. As long as you keep running and don't get caught, you'll be fine by dawn!"
Chi Le remained unmoved. He didn't even look at Shi Xiangxian. Instead, he carefully examined the three thin wooden sticks hanging on the door of the house next to him.
"This feeling..."
Chi Le carefully sensed the three remaining incense sticks hanging above the door and murmured softly.
"Young man, did you hear me!"
Seeing that Chi Le seemed not to have heard his reminder, Old Man Tian risked raising his voice a little.
However, because he still didn't dare to speak too loudly, his voice sounded a bit strange.
"The leftover incense sticks... [The Incense Ghost]..."
Chi Le had a vague guess in her mind.
"Um?"
Feeling someone grab her arm, Chi Le turned her head to look.
Old Man Tian had somehow come out of the house.
A pair of hands grabbed his arm.
"You silly child, can't you hear me? Come with me!"
After saying that, Old Man Tian pulled himself up with all his might and stepped out with one foot.
I want to do what I did when I took the young people to Old Li's house at noon.
This will pull the young people far away from this man-eating, fragrant immortal.
However, the young man was like an unyielding rock; no matter how hard he tried, the young man wouldn't budge.
They watched as the [Fragrance Ghost] drew ever closer.
The elusive mist swirling around [Food Fragrance Ghost] had even reached in front of him.
Old Man Tian didn't notice for a moment and took a few puffs.
I only inhaled a few wisps of the incense-scented mist.
He felt dizzy and weak.
It felt as if the strength in my body was being slowly drained away.
"Kid, what exactly do you want? If you don't leave, this old man is going to die!"
When the old man saw that he couldn't persuade him, he immediately released his grip on Chi Le's arm.
He pretended to be threatening and walked backward, trying to scare Chi Le into running away with him.
Just as he expected, Chi Le moved and even reached out to hold his arm.
Seeing the young man grab his hand, Old Man Tian had an "I knew it" look on his face.
If being gentle doesn't work, you have to be firm; kids always respond that way.
The method they usually used to scare the village children worked again.
Old Man Tian didn't linger any longer and turned around, intending to take Chi Le and begin their escape in Cuishui Village.
"us……"
Before he could even utter the word "go," Old Man Tian's forward momentum faltered.
Chi Le's hand on his arm was like an iron clamp, firmly holding him in place.
"What are you doing? Don't drag me into this if you're looking to get yourself killed!"
It wasn't until now that Old Man Tian suddenly realized what had happened.
This young man's blank stare isn't due to poor hearing or slow reaction; he has a problem with his brain!
The [Fragrance-Eating Ghost] was already very close, and the mist swirling around it had completely enveloped the two of them.
I don't know if it's the effect of the [Fragrance Ghost] fog, or because of fear.
Old Man Tian collapsed to the ground, utterly powerless.
"It's over..."
The [Fragrance Ghost] extended its pair of enormous claws, attempting to grab both of them.
Just as Old Man Tian was beginning to despair, he caught a glimpse of a blurry figure out of the corner of his eye.
Old Man Tian couldn't make out his face or clothing clearly.
Only the half-person-high banner in his hand was particularly eye-catching.
It immediately caught Old Man Tian's attention.
Who is this person?
Old Man Tian watched as the man flicked his wrist, causing the black banner to flutter and rustle.
"Is this the soul-reaper from the underworld who's here to take my soul?"
Old Man Tian was somewhat dazed. He knew full well that he was doomed to die.
And here comes the Soul Reaper.
Old Man Tian, who had already closed his eyes and was peacefully awaiting death, did not see it.
The pair of sharp claws that were slowly extending from the "Soul Reaper" almost froze in place when the black coil was swung by the "Soul Reaper".
He stopped in front of the young man he couldn't budge no matter how hard he tried.
Squeak...
The mountain gate emerged from the mist and slowly opened, from which an old man stepped out.
again and again!
The crisp sound of the cane hitting the ground echoed through the street.
The land from Changxi Village never stopped moving after leaving the mountain gate.
The first thing to do is to use your abilities to summon earth spikes.
Click click~
A dozen or so earth spikes of varying sizes and shapes emerged from the ground at different angles, their tips all pointing towards the [Fragrance-Eating Ghost].
The emerging earth spikes pierced right through the body of the [Fragrance-Eating Ghost].
Ordinary demons would have been dead long ago.
However, as an evil spirit, the physical body of the [Fragrance-Eating Ghost] is composed of an unpredictable cloud of incense smoke.
It is almost completely immune to ordinary physical attacks, especially flesh-and-blood attacks.
Ignoring the earth spikes that pierced its body, the unharmed [Fragrance-Eating Ghost] did not stop its attack on Chi Le.
However, due to the influence of the [Soul-Guiding Spirit Weapon], its outstretched claws could only approach Chi Le at an extremely slow speed.
Ignore the sharp claws extended by the [Fragrance Devourer].
Chi Le checked the angle and summoned the [Mountain Gate] again.
This time, the mountain gate is not like before, standing upright on the ground.
Instead, it hangs tilted in mid-air.
Squeak.
[The mountain gate] opens, and Chi Le can see Chen Cheng standing in the open space of Qingshan Temple.
At this moment, Chen Cheng held a nearly fully formed ice flower in his hand.
The moment I saw the mountain gate open.
The ice flower in Chen Cheng's hand completely solidified, following the instructions given by the abbot before her departure.
Aim at the center of the open [mountain gate] and push the ice flower in your hand straight out.
Ice Flower passed through the [Mountain Gate] and arrived at Green Water Village in a straight line.
Because Chi Le had adjusted the position of the [Mountain Gate], it was now facing directly at the [Fragrance-Eating Ghost], which was still slowly extending its sharp claws.
Snapped!
The ice flower landed precisely on the incense smoke body of the [Fragrance Devourer].
As the ice flowers cracked and shattered, they exploded.
A thin layer of ice covered the upper body of the [Fragrance Ghost].
Some ice crystals even seeped from the ice layer into the smoke-filled body of the [Fragrance Ghost].
At this moment, the [Fragrance Ghost] is like someone wearing a hat of ice.
again and again!
The land in Changxi Village once again thudded like a cane.
Spikes sprouted from the ground, but this time their goal was no longer simply to pierce the body of the [Fragrance-Eating Ghost].
Instead, they all thrust in the same direction, straight at the location invaded by the ice crystals.
click!
The soil spikes successfully shattered the ice crystals.
Ice crystal fragments collapsed, and along with them fell a small portion of the [Fragrance Ghost]'s smoky body.
With the help of Chen Cheng's [Frost Flower Flying] ability, the earth spikes summoned by the land deity of Changxi Village can directly injure [Fragrance-Eating Ghost]!
"The Special Affairs Bureau's data is quite useful."
To increase the survival rate of newcomers entering the bizarre world for the first time.
The materials distributed by the Special Affairs Bureau to newly hired employees who have never entered the bizarre world contain detailed information about the weaknesses of different demons and evil spirits and how to deal with them.
The information also includes methods for dealing with the [Fragrant Devourer].
To kill it, a spiritualist with an affinity for mental power is needed first.
If only martial artists are present, then the only option is to try to influence the smoke-filled body of the [Fragrance-Eating Ghost].
Flooding, freezing, and electric shock can all affect [Fragrance Ghost].
Therefore, most martial arts practitioners would find it difficult to defend themselves against evil spirits that are essentially immune to physical attacks.
Conversely, spiritual masters are mostly helpless when faced with thick-skinned, mindless demons.
However, this is not a problem for Chi Le.
He has many talented people working under him.
