Chapter 279 (2/2)

”Of course. Any who dares to bully my sister-in-law will have to face me,” said Liang Zhuangmin, who was in an excellent mood.

At this time, they arrived near the place of the ghostrunes. They started seeing human corpses in the area. Looking at how the people were killed by having some object thrown at them, it was clear they were killed by ghostrunes.

”Big brother, Honglou, be careful. They're here,” reminded Xiang Shaoyun.

”Let me kill them all!” Hua Honglou said. A lot of Red House members had been killed by the ghostrunes, and she had been holding a grudge against them.

”No, we won't waste any time with them. Just charge through. Our target is the soul spring, not killing them,” said Xiang Shaoyun as he shook his head. He then led the way with the bucktooth tiger. Like magic, they avoided all the ghostrunes and went straight to the depths of the territory.

After traveling for a bit, they saw a group of humans being attacked by some ghostrunes. The humans seemed to be doing very badly at the moment. But since they weren't from the Cloud Margin Pavilion, Xiang Shaoyun's group did not get involved. The nearer they got to the place of the ghostrunes, the harder it was for Xiang Shaoyun to avoid the ghostrunes with his senses. Eventually, he could no longer avoid them.

After all, there were far more ghostrunes than humans here. It wouldn't be easy to keep hiding from them on their turf. A few dozen ghostrunes attacked, and a ma.s.sive battle erupted.

”I'll defend against their attacks. You two will attack!” said Liang Zhuangmin, standing at the very front. He erected a yellow energy wall, protecting both Xiang Shaoyun and Hua Honglou.

Bang! Bang!

The numerous objects the ghostrunes threw were blocked by Liang Zhuangmin alone. Behind him, Hua Honglou attacked repeatedly with her crossbow.

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

Instantly, numerous ghostrunes dropped from the sky. Some ghostrunes attacked from behind, sending numerous heavy boulders flying toward them. The boulders were met with a bombardment of Xiang Shaoyun's palm attacks and were instantly destroyed. This group of three was indeed the strongest group, capable of easily defeating the group of attacking ghostrunes.

”This is refres.h.i.+ng! With the three of us working together, we will be able to advance straight into the ghostrunes' place!” said Liang Zhuangmin in excitement.

”I don't think so. Don't forget about the ghostrune kings. They are able to directly attack one's soul. n.o.body can stop those odd attacks,” said Hua Honglou.

”Haha, I nearly forgot about them,” said Liang Zhuangmin awkwardly.

”What should we do next?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.

”We need to just wait. If we are lucky enough and a soul spring happens to fly over, we will be able to get it,” said Hua Honglou.

”Wait? But isn't that too much reliance on luck? If no soul springs fly over, we would have waited for nothing!” said Xiang Shaoyun gloomily.

”You don't have to worry about that. Every two or three days, soul springs will fly out from different directions. At that time, everyone will do what they can to fight for the soul springs,” said Liang Zhuangmin.

”I see,” Xiang Shaoyun said in realization.

But he still did not like this feeling of just waiting around.

”Come with me. I know a place where there is a higher probability of encountering soul springs. But compet.i.tion will be stiff there too,” said Liang Zhuangmin. He had once been in the Land of Soul Springs 10 years ago. Thus, he could lead the way with his previous experience.
