I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 615: Time to Get Rid of the Feast

Gu Heng settled down on a hilly area.

He had been carrying the Primordial Soul Lamp for several hours in this vast darkness, and he could even feel that the surrounding darkness was no longer so profound.

Perhaps, dawn is not far off.

Gu Heng didn't feel tired. If it were before, his legs would have started to give way after walking for this long. However, he is now a cultivator, so he has the body of a cultivator and walking is not tiring.

The only thing that bothered him was why he couldn't use his Dao power or "inner vision." He couldn't do what other cultivators could do, and could only rely on comparison to figure out how strong he was now...

But he was actually quite capable. He found this situation strange, but it was probably a problem caused by the system, so he stopped worrying about it.

He walked for several hours, and although his stamina was not bad, he still didn't see anything else.

This so-called "Forbidden Zone of Dead Souls" must be enormous.

He was actually wearing the "Swift Boots," but to avoid missing anything, he deliberately slowed down, resulting in the current situation—

Apart from those vengeful ghosts who dared not rush forward and stayed far away.

This place is deserted!

The entire ship was filled with cultivators, numbering at least a hundred, but once they were all scattered, not a single one could be found.

"Sigh, could it be that these evil spirits have eaten everyone...?"

Gu Heng sighed.

He was particularly worried about Li Feiyue and Bai Feier's situation. Leaving Li Feiyue aside for now, although they got along well, it was only a brief encounter. He and Bai Feier, on the other hand, were far more familiar; even if they weren't romantically involved, their friendship was at least deep, and the same applied to Qin Yiyao.

During the period after Gu Heng found Qin Yiyao, she avoided all strangers except Bai Feier.

Even if it's just to prevent his precious girl from losing a close friend, he couldn't just sit idly by and watch Bai Feier be completely devoured by this Dead Soul Forbidden Domain.

What methods does he have to find someone?

I thought about it.

Gu Heng put the lamp down, then opened the system interface and casually swiped open the store.

The gadgets I carry with me are useless, but the system shop might have the answer.

……

A hunter wandered in the night, his body emanating a cold, dim red glow. He carried a tattered lamp that glowed red and a chain in his other hand. Most of the vengeful ghosts around him fled at the sight of him, but the hunter gave them no chance.

With a swing of the chains, dozens of vengeful ghosts can be bound and killed at once; with a flick of the lantern, the power of a large number of dead vengeful ghosts can be absorbed and then refined into soul essence.

Of course, some don't run away.

For example, those powerful vengeful spirits with the strength of immortals will choose to pounce and fight back, trying to kill the hunters who are harvesting them.

Then he was killed by a chain.

These chains and lanterns, imbued with the power of that Witch King, are the most terrifying natural enemies to ghosts.

The hunters simply tossed the chains and shook the lanterns in a formulaic manner.

There is already a set of established methods.

He was a new hunter, having only been here for a little over nine thousand years. He was a complete greenhorn. The older generation had been here for tens of thousands of years, some even hundreds of thousands of years... and some didn't even remember when they arrived. It had probably been several epochs, or even more.

But they have been doing this formulaic harvesting of vengeful spirits and refining their essence for a long time, it's almost become second nature to them. The Hunter Envoy has been here for over nine thousand years, but he has been doing this formulaic work every night. He is not confused yet, but if this continues, he might lose his mind one day.

The hunter also found something strange: why did so many resentful ghosts, numbering like grains of sand in the river, keep appearing in this place?

It stands to reason.

If the Forbidden Zone of Dead Souls were a deadly place that no one dared to enter, then after such a long period of harvesting, no matter how large the number of people, they should have been completely wiped out. However, the reality is quite different.

They harvested day and night, but the vengeful spirits seemed to be endless, never diminishing.

The hunter couldn't help but wonder: Could there be something in the Forbidden Zone of Dead Souls that caused so many vengeful spirits to appear continuously?

But what exactly is it?

However, he was too lazy to think too much about such problems. He figured he would eventually be able to complete the task by following this process.

According to the two chief hunters who are the most senior and strongest, and who have already reached the Immortal Lord level, Lord Death Soul Witch King's condition is getting better and better!

Soon, everyone will be able to leave this place and go back to fight!

Then revenge!

The Lesser Mystic Realm is bound to cause chaos and upheaval!

The hunter encouraged himself, thinking that he might be able to leave this hellish place soon, and even the routine harvesting work felt incredibly energetic!

until.

He noticed something amiss. Ahead, there was a faint light, and there seemed to be a figure standing motionless, surrounded by countless vengeful ghosts who were staring at that person from afar.

But they didn't pounce on him.

"There's actually a living person here?"

The hunter frowned. As a half-human, half-ghost being, he was extremely easily attracted to living people with plump flesh and blood. Even from this distance, he could smell the fresh aroma of flesh and blood on them.

It was particularly strange that the surrounding wandering ghosts, who were starving, didn't swarm and tear the human apart.

But the hunter had a change of heart.

I've heard that many living beings have recently arrived in the Forbidden Zone of Dead Souls. They are all waiting for their soul power to improve further and become "plump" before they are harvested, so as to provide the best soul essence for Lord Dead Soul Witch King.

but.

This lone hunter felt that he should also enjoy himself, as the past nine thousand years had been extremely agonizing for him!

We're going to eat that living person!

It's okay to sneak in a little bit of meat, right?
