A confusing little system for newbie bosses

At this moment, everyone's hearts were heavy.

There are still fifty-eight people who have not been found, which also means that they may have reached a deeper level. The deeper they go, the greater the danger and the lower the possibility of survival.

The corpse energy that permeates the air cannot be detected by ordinary people.

"We have to act quickly." Bai He said dullly.

The tomb chamber on this level is very strange. It was not specially built. It seems to be inside an ordinary mountain, giving people the illusion that they have reached the lowest level.

There is a natural underground waterfall in the center of the tomb, and muddy yellow water pours down from above, with no known source or destination.

"Sister, there are footprints here. They should have walked down the river." Qi Yongxu pointed to the footprints on the ground.

The group could only continue searching downwards in the direction of the footprints.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the footprints on the ground spread out in all directions. Judging from the direction and distance of the footsteps, they seemed to have scattered in panic when they encountered some danger.

Seeing this situation, everyone understood and quickly formed a circle, stood back to back, and observed the surroundings vigilantly.

In this tense atmosphere, only Yunhuang still had the leisure to walk around without caring about the danger.

"Gulu, Gulu, Gulu..."

Bubbles began to appear in the river on the side, and the frequency became faster and faster, and there were more and more bubbles.

Originally, the heavenly masters were ready to attack, waiting for the ghosts and monsters in the water to appear before launching an attack directly.

Unexpectedly, what floated up was not a ghost, but corpses with bruised faces.

The heavenly masters who reacted quickly fished out the corpses from the river. There were six corpses in total. Judging from their clothing, they were students from the archaeological team.

"They probably accidentally fell into the underground river when they were dispersed." A heavenly master expressed his opinion.

This statement was immediately denied by Qi Yongxu, "No." He pointed to the still bubbling water, "Be careful, something is coming up."

The next second, a water-eating ghost with a height of less than one meter and green skin jumped out of the underground river. It opened its smelly mouth and bit directly at Bai He with its jagged fangs.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly. He first threw out an exorcism talisman, and at the same time formed seals with his hands, a peach wood sword appeared out of thin air, and then he lifted the sword and chopped off the water ghost's head with a sweep.

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, water ghosts jumped up from the water one after another. It was roughly estimated that there were about a hundred or so.

The last water-eating ghost that jumped up was different from the previous ones. It was about one meter and a half tall, and its skin was not cyan, but purple. It was obviously the deepest among them and the most difficult to deal with.

A fierce battle is about to break out.

The heavenly masters sacrificed their weapons one after another, and the yellow talismans flew out like snowflakes.

The water-eating ghost will not passively stand there and take a beating, dodging left and right, but will actually cooperate and pounce forward with quick movements.

It's not difficult to deal with one or two of these things, but it's a bit confusing to deal with five or six at the same time.

And I don’t know if these water-eating ghosts were aware of the danger, but none of them attacked Yunhuang, and even Qi Yongxu next to her did not attack. There was even a vacuum zone formed within a radius of five meters around her, and she did not dare to get close. .

"Sister, what's going on?"

"...It seems that even mindless ghosts know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages." Yunhuang sighed with emotion.

She drove Qi Yongxu out and stood there, helping anyone who showed weakness.

Thousand-year-old ghosts like this who rely on absorbing corpse energy to cultivate are not easy to encounter, and it is a rare experience for them, especially for their younger brother, who lacks actual combat experience and happens to practice with these ghouls.

After about an hour, everyone's physical strength declined, more and more flaws were exposed, and the number of water-eating ghosts gradually decreased, with only about twenty left.

The surviving water ghosts also sensed the danger and got back into the water at an extremely fast speed, and soon regained their composure.

If it weren't for the traces of fighting everywhere, the experience just now would have been like a dream.

While the others were meditating, resting and recovering their strength, Yunhuang strolled to the dark river and looked at the muddy yellow water, his expression gloomy at just one glance.

On the surface, the river channel is not deep, but in fact the vertical depth is more than ten meters, and the shape is like an oval clay pot.

There were at least a thousand water ghosts clinging to the river bed densely. The largest one had scarlet eyes and a dark body, blending in with the mud.

After noticing her gaze, he bared his fangs, scratched the river bed a few times with his claws, and turned up a few white bones.

Under the mud of the river bed, there was a layer of white bones buried, and there were also thirteen corpses dressed in archaeological team uniforms.

Yunhuang grabbed her right hand in the air, and a white fan appeared in her hand. She gathered her spiritual energy and fanned it directly towards the water.

The huge wind blew all the water on the river bed away and fell to the ground.

The other heavenly masters had just noticed the sound by the river. Before they could gather around, they saw black shadows jumping up from the dry river bed, and densely packed water-eating ghosts rushing toward Yunhuang.

"sister!"

"Miss Qi!"

Amid everyone's exclamations, she took the white jade fan and turned it a few times in her hand, and then a steel fan passed by.

All water ghosts that touched the strong wind turned into fly ash and disappeared into the air with screams.

This scene caused Qi Yongxu, Bai He and others who were running towards her to stop and stand there blankly. They didn't come back to their senses until she dug up the body from the mud and the river was filled with water again.

Touching Yunhuang's cold eyes, Qi Yongxu subconsciously ran to her side and looked at her with a look of shock and admiration. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to express it. Finally, he choked out, "...Sister, you are so awesome." Got it!"

He was a teenager after all, and it was when Mu Qiang was at his peak mentally, especially when this person was his sister, and her excited eyes were filled with stars.

"You can be this awesome in the future." Yunhuang raised her hand to smooth out his messy hair.

Qi Yongxu held her hand and said coquettishly: "Sister, I want to learn now, can you teach me?"

"Go back and teach you."

Bai He and others in the distance stared at Yunhuang with complicated expressions, and they all thought, is this the strength of the Nine Coins Heavenly Master?

While the siblings were talking, a group of people in black cloaks rushed over from the direction they came from.

Except for Qi Yongxu, a fool who has been in seclusion all year round, everyone present was familiar with this outfit, because these people were from the Creation Association.

The purpose of their coming here is obviously for the treasure that can break the world between humans and ghosts.

It must have been the movement Yunhuang made just now that attracted them.

Perhaps seeing that the people of the Celestial Master Association were injured and their breath was weak, the leader of the Creation Association turned on the taunting mode.
