All the energy in the spirit was absorbed. That ghost was clearly stronger, as Lu Li could tell from its qi and energy.
If the demon was at the fifth level before, it could reach the fifth and a half after consuming the energy. This was an obvious improvement.
Ghost had only consumed dozens of specters. What if it could devour hundreds or thousands of specters?
When Ghost's abilities reached a certain level, it could kill warriors at the peak of the third tribulation or even the fourth tribulation.
Ghost was a soul attack. Lu Li had never had a powerful soul attack method. If Ghost could become stronger, then it would become one of Lu Li's powerful soul attacks.
"Go on!"
Lu Li asked Blood Fairy to check. Lu Li was relieved to find nothing wrong with Specter.
Lu Li dashed into the valley again and attracted dozens of specters.
Same as before, Lu Li would kill the specters with the dragon soul, leave behind pure energy, and send Ghost to absorb the energy.
Ghost was growing stronger. Lu Li asked Blood Fairy to keep an eye on Ghost. If something went wrong, Lu Li would be in big trouble.
Though Lu Li's soul was protected by the dragon soul, Ghost had entered his soul. If something were to happen to his soul, Lu Li would be doomed eternally.
In an hour, all the specters were consumed and absorbed by Ghost.
Spiritshadow's aura grew a little stronger, but it wasn't as terrifying as before.
It was good news that his abilities could grow. Lu Li understood that the further he went, the more difficult it would be.
Take his supreme body as an example. The further he went, the more difficult it would be and the more resources he would need.
Go on!
Lu Li repeated what he did before. This time, he attracted dozens of specters and gradually consumed them.
After all, the Ghost Sea would need a few more days. Lu Li still had time.
Half a day later, Lu Li killed all the specters. The energy of the specters was at least twice as strong as before.
If Ghost could kill an average warrior at the third tribulation before, he should be able to fight against a warrior at the middle stage of the third tribulation now.
Hundreds of specters were killed by Lu Li alone. Many patriarchs would be shocked if this news was spread out.
After all, it was very slow for an ordinary commander to kill the Specters. If hundreds of Specters came, even three commanders would not be able to hold on. They would all die.
"Keep looking for ghosts!" Lu Li floated down and soon disappeared into the mountains.
Because Lu Li was searching for ghosts nearby and he had lured away many human-faced scorpion beasts and Ghost Worms, the Ghost Sea was quite peaceful.
The two commanders were very surprised, but they didn't think too much about it. They just assumed that there weren't too many demons nearby.
The soldiers were very successful in gathering the divine medicine. If they continued at this pace, they would be able to return in four days at most.
Soldiers returned one after another, bringing with them many divine medicines. These divine medicines were indeed supervised by a professional army, and all of the divine medicines would be marked when they were born.
This army was under the command of the Underworld Palace's Palace Lord. They didn't listen to any of the Elders' orders, so there was no possibility of them colluding with the Black Divine Medicine.
The army had the right to supervise, but they did not have the right to harvest.
This side had the full power to harvest, but all of them were being supervised. Both sides kept each other in check. This way, the Hell Palace could be completely at ease.
Time flew by. Soon, four days had passed. More than half of the soldiers that went to the sea had come back. Only two teams with more than 30 people were left. As long as these 30 people came back, they could go back.
During this time, there were no human-faced scorpion beasts, Ghost Worms or ghosts attacking them, which made the two commanders happy.
This time, only a few dozen people died. Their luck was heaven-defying.
"Whoosh ~"
Just as the two commanders were about to go back, a man suddenly flew up from the sea. He was covered in blood. He shouted in terror, "Run, everyone. The Ghost Sea is going wild."
"Eh?"
The two commanders looked at each other but didn't hesitate for long. Commander Huang shouted at once, "Everyone, get into formation and retreat!"
"Boom, boom, boom!"
As soon as they left, the sea began to tumble. Following that, many black shadows flew out. There were also ghosts and many human-faced scorpion beasts. They roared and charged at them.
"Oh no …"
The two commanders looked at each other. Their hearts sank. In the sea, there was a kind of demon called the Xi Demon Beast, which was violent and horrifying.
But this kind of demon beast usually stayed in the deep sea and rarely came out.
At the moment, there were hundreds of Xi Demon Beasts, at least thousands of human-faced scorpion beasts and swarms of Ghost Worms.
But that was not the point. The point was the ghosts. There was a dark cloud in the sea. All of them were ghosts and there were at least four to five hundred of them.
The human-faced scorpion beasts, Ghost Worms and Xi Demon Beasts were not enough to wipe out the army. But hundreds of ghosts were enough to make them die without a burial place.
"Where is the commander?
Why isn't he back yet? "
The two commanders took out their treasures and their eyes were glowing red. If Lu Li were here, they might have a chance of survival. Otherwise, they would all die.
"Right, where is the commander?
Where is the commander? "
"Commander, come and save us!"
"Commander, come out!"
Many warriors shouted. A few days ago, everyone thought Lu Li was a good-for-nothing, a playboy who relied on his background to get to the commander's position.
Now, everyone's views had changed. To them, Lu Li had become their pillar, their backbone, the one who could save their lives.
"Get into formation and fight against the Ghost Worms, human-faced scorpion beasts, Ghost Worms and Xi Demon Beasts. Leave the ghosts to us. Hang in there. The commander will be back soon!"
Commander Huang roared and flew up with Commander Cao, taking the initiative to rush towards the ghosts. Right now, it was impossible to escape. They could only grit their teeth and fight for a chance of survival.
Commander Cao hated Lu Li but now, he was looking forward to Lu Li's appearance. If Lu Li didn't come out, everyone would die.
"Roar, roar ~"
A sky full of insects flew over. Countless human-faced scorpion beasts and Xi magic beasts rushed up and surrounded the army.
Soon, there were casualties. If it weren't for the fact that the two commanders were calm and the army was not in chaos, many of them would have died.
The two commanders killed their way through and quickly rushed to the side of the Specters. They had to block the Specters. If the Specters rushed to the army, they would really be wiped out.
"Brother Huang, I think we are going to die here today!"
A dark cloud floated over and the two Commanders were surrounded by four to five hundred Specters. Although the two of them were using artifacts to protect themselves, both of them had a feeling that they would die here today. None of them would be able to escape.
"Ah …"
More and more people were dying. Miserable cries rose and fell. The army was not in chaos but they could not withstand such a powerful attack. In the time for several incense sticks to burn, hundreds had passed away.
"Whoosh!"
