"Little Five, attack from the left. Little Eight, sneak attack from the back. Twelve, find an opportunity to scatter black charcoal powder on the little ghosts. Fifteen, stop eating, you've almost finished all the grass. Hurry up to the second floor and listen to my command. Jump when I tell you to."
A big boy, who was blind in one eye and dressed in tattered animal skin, was directing the other children.
Soon, the group of children under the one-eyed boy's lead launched an attack on the specter.
Although these children were weak, could not run fast, and were very weak, their cooperation was very skillful, especially the one-eyed boy. His actions were clean and neat, and his commands were methodical.
Under his lead, the seven or eight children really did cause a lot of damage to the specter.
However, they were too few in number and too weak.
After the slow-moving undead reacted, they immediately crushed the children one-sidedly.
Seeing the specter's sharp claws about to hit him, the one-eyed boy seemed to have predicted the result. He did not despair, nor did he cry. His eyes were very calm, but there was a hint of unwillingness hidden in the calmness.
Unwillingness to accept fate!
Su Chen saw the one-eyed boy's eyes and suddenly felt a little heartache.
"Slash!"
The Fish Intestine Sword flew over and directly cut the specter.
The specter instantly turned into a dark red mist and dissipated, and a blood-red bead fell down.
The children were very surprised, and all of them rushed up to snatch the blood bead. Only the one-eyed boy was stunned, and then he quickly ran to Su Chen and knelt down, "Thank you for saving my life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the one-eyed boy's stomach grumbled in hunger.
"What's your name?"
Su Chen took out a bag of braised beef from his storage ring and threw it to the one-eyed boy.
The little guy smelled the fragrant meat, swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly said, "I don't have a name, they all call me Boss. We were abandoned in the Specter Valley when we were young, and we are all orphans without parents."
"Why did you take such a big risk to kill the specter?"
"You can obtain Soul Beads after killing the little ghosts. You can take these Soul Beads to the Ghost Roar Sect in the depths of the Departed Spirit Valley to exchange for food and clothes. If you can gather enough Soul Beads, you can also exchange them for cultivation techniques from the Ghost Roar Sect. You can even join the Ghost Roar Sect as an outer disciple. From then on, you will not have to worry about food and clothes and will have a meteoric rise."
"Ghost Roar Sect?"
Su Chen asked, "Is it a cultivation sect?"
The one-eyed boy said: "The Ghost Howl School is filled with immortals, and all of them are experts with great abilities. They can refine zombies and control evil spirits — truly amazing."
Su Chen smiled. "Don't you know that refining ghosts is a crooked path?"
The boy shook his head. "I don't know. I only know that once I become an immortal, I can drink wine and eat meat every day. I will never go hungry."
It was indeed too harsh to expect a child who didn't even have enough to eat and walked on the edge of death every day to have a sense of right and wrong.
Su Chen patted the one-eyed boy's head and said, "Go eat."
The boy was overjoyed and hurriedly carried the braised beef to share with the other children.
This little guy was quite loyal.
Just as Su Chen was about to leave, a crippled child hurriedly ran over and shouted: "Boss, not good! Little Sister Xiao Qi was found by the immortals from the Ghost Howl School and was taken away!"
"What?!"
The one-eyed boy turned pale with fright. The beef in his mouth fell to the ground as he hurriedly ran away.
Su Chen's mind moved and he also followed.
Not long after, the boys came to a ruin. They opened a secret passage and went underground. This was a hidden cellar. There were a few little girls with sallow faces and emaciated bodies. They all had frightened expressions on their faces, as if they had just been frightened.
"What is going on? Didn't I say that you guys are not allowed to go outside during the day?!" The one-eyed boy angrily shouted.
One of the girls trembled and said: "Xiao Qi … She wanted to go to the river to get water. Originally, we went through the secret passage, but it collapsed …"
"Boss, this might not be a bad thing. Little Sister Xiao Qi is so pretty, if she is brought to the Ghost Roar Sect, she might even become a disciple there. If Xiao Qi joins the Ghost Roar Sect, then we might have the chance to follow her to the Ghost Roar Sect."
"What do you know!"
The one-eyed boy fell to the ground with his butt.
In his heart, he was very clear about the fate of a beautiful girl who was brought to the Ghost Howl School.
At that place, even death would be an extravagant wish!
At this time, the one-eyed boy suddenly saw hope and quickly kneeled in front of Su Chen: "Immortal, please take me to the Ghost Howl School. I must bring Xiao Qi back. She was picked up by me, I can't watch her fall into a sea of suffering."
"You don't even have the strength to truss a chicken, what can you do there?" Su Chen questioned.
The boy's expression darkened, then he gritted his teeth and said: "Even if I die, I will turn into a ghost and save Xiao Qi."
Seeing the boy's determined attitude, Su Chen felt a bit of compassion.
"Fine, you just stay here and tell me Xiao Qi's appearance. I will bring her back." Su Chen said.
"Xiao Qi is the prettiest, just like a princess. Immortal will definitely be able to recognize her at a glance."
…
Deep in the Valley of the Dead.
This place was shrouded in Yin energy, and the air seemed to contain a deadly poison. Not a single blade of grass grew on the ground.
Lu Qingling slightly frowned and put on a veil to hide the Yin energy. She then told the escorts behind her: "Everyone, stay alert. The Ghost Howl School is not a safe place. The school master, Gui Shen Tong, is a tenth layer Foundation Establishment cultivator. We should not have too much contact with the Ghost Howl School. After delivering the goods, we will immediately leave."
The little fatty chuckled and said: "Senior Sister Lu, don't be afraid. If something really happens, I will protect you. Although my cultivation is only at the third layer of Foundation Establishment, the Blazing Sun Tactic that I cultivate is specialized in restraining evil things. Even if Gui Shen Tong is in front of me, I will not be afraid of him."
"Stop bragging. If you really meet Gui Shen Tong, I will be satisfied as long as you don't wet your pants."
At this moment, a figure broke through the haze and appeared in front of the escort team.
Lu Qingling subconsciously pulled out her whip, but when she looked closely, she realized that the person in front of her was somewhat familiar.
"It's you!"
Lu Qingling suddenly remembered that this person was the perverted native who was running around naked.
She did not expect him to be so handsome after putting on clothes.
"Uh …"
Su Chen was also stunned when he saw the woman in white riding on the strange beast.
Why did he meet her again?
This was very awkward.
"Well … the scenery here is not bad, haha …"
Su Chen turned around and left.
However, after walking around for a long time, something even more awkward happened.
He actually met the woman in white again.
Lu Qingling could not help but laugh: "Don't tell me you are lost. The Ghost Howl School's Yin Wind Formation has quite a confusing effect. It is very easy for people who do not know to walk in here for the first time to encounter ghosts."
