Mysterious country

Seeing the usually calm and composed Leng Yue's expression change, Xia Qi suddenly had an extremely bad premonition, and asked with a slight twitch of the corner of his mouth:

"Leng Shen, did you see something?"

"It's not yet certain."

Leng Yue did not directly tell the answer he wanted. After hearing this, Xia Qi told him the changes that had happened to the deputy warden. After hearing his description, Leng Yue's expression instantly darkened, and she concluded:

"What we are facing is probably a spiritual species."

"Spiritual seed?"

Xia Qi had no impression of this title. At this time, he carefully recalled the notebook that Leng Yue gave him, but he did not remember that such a thing was recorded in it.

"What is that?" Xia Qi asked again doubtfully.

"The soulless ghost."

Leng Yue summed it up briefly, knowing that Xia Qi might not understand it, so she explained in detail:

"Although most ghosts only show their murderous side, in fact ghosts also have consciousness. This kind of consciousness is called spirit.

This kind of spiritual ghost kills people, which is nothing more than absorbing resentment and evil spirits through killing, thereby making itself stronger.

But there are also a very small number of ghosts that have no spirit.

The birth of these ghosts is very special, because they are usually influenced by some powerful ghosts. To put it bluntly, they are not ghosts themselves, but a kind of object.

There is neither life nor spirit. "

"Uh... But how can an object kill someone and also be an evil spirit?"

Xia Xia Qi felt a little dizzy after hearing this. The key point was that what Leng Yue was talking about was called soulless ghosts. He was somewhat unable to understand it.

It's like telling him that his refrigerator can eat people. Isn't that just nonsense?

"Nothing is impossible, because the birth of such soulless ghosts must be under extremely special circumstances.

Or you can call them another name - cursed objects. "

"Ghost curse? Are you saying that the birth of the soulless ghost is related to the Ghost King?"

Xia Qi and Leng Yue had already dealt with ghost curses before. However, the ghost curse they encountered at that time was only one that had been sealed by Leng Yue's master for 20 years. It had already become weak and there were countless ghost curses.

But even so, they still almost died, which shows how terrible the ghost curse is.

Or to be more precise, how terrifying the Ghost King is, just a thought has such terrifying power.

"Yeah, but there is still a big difference between ghost curses and ghostly cursed objects.

Because the ghost curse contains the consciousness of the ghost king, it is very scary. Being conscious means having a spirit. But the objects cursed by ghosts are unconscious, and there is no consciousness of the ghost king in them.

Some are just the ghost aura of the Ghost King or the evil aura. "

"Just like after an atomic bomb explodes, it will produce radiation in a certain range?

Is the cursed thing born in this kind of environment? "

"It can be understood this way. Ghostly cursed objects are usually caused by the residual power acting on a certain object when the Ghost King releases his mind attack.

The premise is that this kind of item also has its own special features, such as there is a lot of resentment or ghost energy on it. It's not an ordinary object.

Because of these prerequisites, the number of spiritless ghosts is very small and almost difficult to encounter. "

Leng Yue's words made Xia Qi speechless, because this didn't mean that they were really lucky. They had just come to the second domain and they encountered an extremely unpopular ghost.

Perhaps this is why Leng Yue didn't record it in the notes to him, because ordinary people had no chance to meet him.

"Listening to what you said, if the thing in the deputy warden's office is really a soulless ghost, then it is most likely the bloody coat.

This is more in line with your description, just a piece of clothing. But how can we solve it?

Also, what's going on with the bloody spider threads on the heads of these prisoners? "

"These people are all the puppets of that soulless ghost."

"Are they all puppets of that ghost? Are they controlled?"

Xia Qi glanced at Zhang Tou, who was talking to prison guard Gao Zhuang who didn't know what he was talking about, and Wang Chang, who kept shouting among the prisoners. No matter how he looked at them, he felt that there was really no need for them to pretend.

"They are not controlled, because soulless ghosts have no consciousness, so they cannot control them."

Leng Yue shook her head, dispelling Xia Qi's worries.

"Then what do you mean by Lingkui?"

“They are all food for the soulless ghost to cultivate souls.

Soulless ghosts are ghosts without consciousness. There are no ghosts here, so they can only be supplemented by human spirits.

Eat their spirits to replenish your own.

This is exactly what is terrifying about this kind of ghost. Ordinary ghosts have no ability to attack spirits at all, but spiritless ghosts can find ways to eat both human flesh and blood and human spirits.

Once this kind of ghost has its own consciousness, its strength will increase accordingly.

It's like a smart person will do things with half the effort than a fool.

The reason why the deputy warden did not attack you is because the spiritless ghost has not yet cultivated its own spirit, or it has just cultivated a spirit and its consciousness is still relatively vague.

As for the deputy warden, it should be the foundation it chose, based on the spirit of the deputy warden, and then put all the spirits it has devoured in the past few days into it for fusion.

And in the process of its fusion, its soul will be eaten bit by bit.

These bloody spider threads are like a ghost realm. Once connected to his ghost spider web, these people can disappear without a trace at any time.

Soulless ghosts have no consciousness and naturally do not know how to use the ghost realm, so everything is just based on instinct. "

Although Leng Yue already knew what kind of evil spirit they would face next, what was more embarrassing was that in their current situation, there was almost no difference between knowing and not knowing.

Because they are all the same, they can only find ways to avoid them, and there is no way to kill the evil ghost before it has perfected its spirit.

If they wait until their ability period is unfrozen, the evil ghost may already have a spirit. When the ghost realm is opened, he will still have some talents of the ghost king, which will undoubtedly make it difficult for them to deal with.

"If that evil ghost has a spirit, how far can it reach? Will it be promoted to the level of the Ghost King?"

Xia Qi asked a question that he was more concerned about now.

"Of course not. After all, it is just the residual power of a mental attack. It does not even have the power of a ghost curse, let alone the level of a ghost king. But its ability to swallow spirits is more difficult. After all, spirits are invisible and it is difficult for us to defend against them. "

Leng Yue has a headache about this. Just saying that he and Xia Qi combined, there is definitely no big problem in dealing with a spiritless ghost of this level. The key is that the spiritless ghost can swallow spirits, rather than using physical methods. Attack them.

Although he possesses some spells that can purely attack spirits, he does not have any defensive capabilities.

As long as the spirit is attacked by the spiritless ghost, it will definitely be unable to resist.

"If we wait for it to gain consciousness, even if we recover its abilities, our chances of winning against it will not be high."
