Hearing Luo Yaowu's words, Yang Qi and the other two could not help but nodded. It would consume too much energy to kill a high-level Martial King-level ghost beast, plus the recovery time. If they deliberately looked for a high-level Martial King-level ghost beast, the loss would outweigh the gain.
What's more, for ghost beasts at the high-level Martial King level, other practitioners are lucky to be able to survive, and it is almost impossible to kill them. Therefore, they don’t have to worry about someone snatching the ghost beasts at the high-level Martial King level from them. The right thing to do is to sweep all the way and collect as many ghost crystals as possible!
Soon, Yang Qi and his four companions set out again, and this time they swept across the country. No ghost beast they encountered could escape from their hands. As time passed, the names of Yang Qi and his four companions spread in the underground maze.
"Have you heard that recently there is a group of crazy people who are looking for ghost beasts at the level of eight-star martial kings."
"What a lunatic! We are going to kill the ghost beast."
"I heard that they have killed several ghost beasts at the level of eight-star martial kings."
The practitioners from two different teams gathered together and exchanged the news they had received during this period, especially the news about the crazy foursome.
"Top-grade ghost crystals are so precious, is there no one who would kill for them?" a four-star martial king asked curiously.
"Kill people and steal treasure?"
As soon as these words came out, they were immediately greeted with a disdainful sneer, "Among the four of them, there is a cultivator who is good at the soul path. Even the ghost beast at the level of the eight-star martial king can't resist it. Who dares to set his sights on them?"
As for the soul, the thing it fears least is siege. If it cannot withstand soul attack, it will be the same no matter how many people siege it together, unless it can withstand the opponent's soul attack.
But that was a soul attack that would affect even the ghost beasts at the level of eight-star martial kings. For cultivators, even nine-star martial kings would not dare to say they could withstand it. And the strong men at the nine-star martial king level usually entered the inner realm to seek opportunities to break through the martial emperor level, and almost none of them came to the underground maze. In this case, who could do anything to Yang Qi and the other four
"Don't even think about killing people for treasure. It's good enough that they don't kill us for treasure." A six-star Martial King shook his head and smiled bitterly.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent. Yes, that was a team that could kill even an eight-star Martial King. It would be good enough if they didn't attack them. If they dared to kill people and steal the treasures, they would definitely be the ones to die.
"But after their sweep, our harvest has been reduced." A five-star Martial King sighed.
Yang Qi and his four companions were able to kill even high-level Martial King-level ghost beasts, and they could easily kill ordinary mid- and low-level Martial King-level ghost beasts. Their hunting speed far exceeded theirs. As Yang Qi and his four companions swept through, the gains of other practitioners also decreased.
A four-star Martial King was silent for a moment, then spoke up, "That being said, it's not completely without benefits. At least now that the eight-star Martial King-level ghost beasts have been wiped out, we don't have to be as nervous as before."
This was probably the only benefit. After all, the longer one stayed in the underground maze, the greater the gains. Many teams of practitioners were forced to leave the underground maze because they encountered ghost beasts at the level of eight-star martial kings. Now that the danger was reduced, they could stay longer, which would increase their gains in a sense.
…
Roar~
In the passage, a deafening roar rang out, and a ghost beast at the level of an eight-star martial king flew over, killing several practitioners who were fleeing in front of it.
Looking at the ghost beast that was coming at him at high speed, the leading Seven Star Martial King's face darkened and he said coldly, "Damn it, he's too fast. If he continues like this, we won't be able to escape."
Even a seven-star martial king realm warrior is still no match for an eight-star martial king level ghost beast. Although they pulled away at the first moment, the distance between them continued to shorten after being targeted by the ghost beast. It was feared that it would not be long before they would be caught up and eventually die.
"I'll go stop him."
A five-star martial king said resolutely.
Faced with the eight-star Martial King ghost beast that was chasing them, these people could not resist at all. If they went out to delay time, they would surely die. It was obvious that the five-star Martial King in front of them intended to sacrifice himself to buy time for other companions.
"It's useless. You can't delay any time under the soul attack." The leading Seven-Star Martial King said with a wry smile.
If they were not affected by the soul attack, they could indeed escape by sacrificing a companion. However, facing the soul attack that could affect an eight-star Martial King practitioner, it would be of no use even if the leading Seven-Star Martial King tried to delay time.
Following the words of the Seven-Star Martial King, the others fell silent. Just as the other party said, no matter who tried to delay time, it would be useless. Unless they could quickly find the cave at the intersection and enter the inner area, there would be only one way to go, which was death.
However, the route they escaped was exactly the route they had passed before. They were very familiar with this route. There was indeed an intersecting cave ahead, but with the speed of the ghost beast, they would be caught up before they could escape there!
"Huh?"
Just when everyone was almost in despair, the leading Seven-Star Martial King suddenly let out a sigh and frowned, "Are there any practitioners coming?"
"Is there someone coming?"
When these words were spoken, the other practitioners were also stunned. There were actually other practitioners coming towards where they were
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
In a flash, four figures appeared in their sight. Among these four people, there were three mid-level Martial Kings and one one-star Martial King!
The Seven-Star Martial King who was leading the group focused his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Quick, surpass them."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. The four people on the opposite side were not as strong as them, and naturally not as fast as them. As long as they surpassed the other party before the ghost beast caught up, the ghost beast would regard these four people as prey. With these four people delaying for a while, they might be able to escape!
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Thinking of this, the group immediately used all their skills to fly towards Yang Qi and the other four.
"Why didn't they stop, but instead came towards us?"
Seeing that Yang Qi and the others did not stop and turn around to escape, but continued to run towards their location, the group couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"Look, why are they so excited?"
“Are they crazy?”
"Can't they see the ghost beast at the level of the eight-star martial king?"
The two sides walked towards each other and the distance between them was rapidly shortening. The group of people who were fleeing were even more dumbfounded. The actions of Yang Qi and the other four were completely beyond their expectations. Shouldn't they turn around and run for their lives at this time
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Seeing Yang Qi and his three companions flying towards them with excitement, everyone subconsciously made way for them, and just left Yang Qi and the others behind!
Buzz~
At this moment, a strong soul fluctuation came from behind.
"Oh no, the ghost beast is launching a soul attack." Along with this strong soul fluctuation, a thought flashed through everyone's mind. (To be continued)
