596 Dark Town Ghost Plane (2/2)
Noticing what had just happened in a dazed manner, the struggling elderly ghost spirit shuddered. When it turned towards Wang Baole, there was a real look of fear in its eyes as its body trembled uncontrollably.
Without bothering himself with the ghost spirits that had been wiped out, or the elderly ghost spirit that he was grabbing onto, Wang Baole stood there, enveloped by the red glow as he continued to observe the statue.
In reality, when Wang Baole first noticed the village, he had already realized that the indigenous people here were actually ghost spirits. Put more accurately, they were ghost spirits who were residing in the corpses of the indigenous people!
It could be taken that, to a certain extent, the bodies of the indigenous people who had died an unknown number of years ago but didn't rot, were the clothing of the ghost spirits. Others, even Nascent Soul realm cultivators, might not have been able to realize the truth. They might land themselves in danger even if they were able to resist the attacks of the ghost spirits.
After all, the red glow from the sculpture targeted one's spirits. This was nothing to Wang Baole. As a Dark Child, he wasn't the least bit afraid of ghost spirits.
As such, from beginning to end, Wang Baole wasn't bothered by anything. The only thing that piqued his interest was the material of the sculpture. Now, Wang Baole continued to analyze it, stepping forward to touch and knock at it. His eyes then lit up.
That's right. This is… made of Stellar Source! Wang Baole was somewhat agitated. He was doubtful previously, but now that he had confirmed his hypothesis after detailed analysis, he grew delighted.
He was well aware of the value of Stellar Source. He also understood that the most important material he needed to repair the Dark Artifact from Mars was Stellar Source. However, it was difficult to obtain Stellar Source unless one eliminated a star.
Therefore, Wang Baole was left helpless in the Federation. He had never thought that he would receive such a huge gift through this trial on this ridiculous planet.
In his exhilaration, Wang Baole waved his left hand and was about to put the statue away when the red glow emerging from it increased in scale. It was as if it were a form of resistance. However, when a ball of Dark Fire appeared from Wang Baole's right hand, the red glow from the sculpture lost all its effect. Wang Baole could then put the sculpture away without any difficulty.
After that, Wang Baole lowered his head to look at the elderly ghost spirit that he was holding onto. Wang Baole licked his lips and smiled.
”Two options. Either you bring me to the other villages, or I eat you whole.”
The elderly ghost spirit shuddered. It wouldn't have believed it if someone else claimed that they would eat it. However, having seen how Wang Baole had handled the other ghost spirits with its own eyes, and looking at the manner Wang Baole had licked his lips, it had a strong feeling that the monster in front of its eyes would really eat it up.
”I… I know of many villages!” the elderly ghost spirit trembled and exclaimed loudly immediately.
”Lead the way.” Wang Baole released his right hand, seemingly unconcerned that the elderly ghost spirit would escape as he spoke calmly. The elderly ghost spirit hesitated for a moment, but after recalling how Wang Baole had licked his lips, it became obedient and began to show Wang Baole the way.
Man and ghost charged through the air in this manner, towards the other village mentioned by the elderly ghost spirit. Three hours later, Wang Baole obtained yet another sculpture and wiped out yet another village. The elderly ghost spirit was in constant fear, while Wang Baole's eyes glowed brighter by the moment.
Wang Baole was no longer anxious to complete the mission. To him, the entire place was a treasure land. The entire trial ground existed physically and wasn't an illusion, and that made it ideal for him to strike it rich.
With that thought, Wang Baole looked at the elderly ghost spirit with excitement in his eyes.
”Big Foot, perform well. If I'm satisfied, I'll not eat you.”
