Until the ghost bird ate the last light spot, the ancestral spirit made no move to fight back except screaming. The magma below keeps rolling, but it seems more like it has fallen into some kind of out-of-control state and can no longer be rolled into a pillar to launch an attack.
And the screams of the ancestor spirits also became smaller and smaller...
Finally, as the last red light spot was swallowed by the ghost bird, the voice of the ancestor spirit disappeared completely, and the magma suddenly calmed down. The entire cave fell into dead silence.
Benjamin stared at the girl motionless.
The atmosphere was a little tense, and the young man couldn't help but hold his breath and sweat in his hands.
"Huh...it seems to have been successful?"
Suddenly, the girl opened her eyes, showing a somewhat tired look. The ghost bird also flew back from below and came to the three of them. Except for its eyes which were as red as a fire alarm, everything else seemed to be normal.
Benjamin frowned.
"...How do you feel? Where is the aura of the ancestral spirit? It has disappeared?"
Hearing this, the girl hesitated for a moment and said, "The ancestral spirit... seems to have been eaten by a sparrow. I feel that the ancestral spirit has not been eliminated, but it seems to be completely unable to resist. I don't know why."
Benjamin touched his chin and did not speak immediately. Instead, he turned around and asked about the system in his mind.
The system replied: "It is true that all the power of the ancestral spirit was swallowed up by the ghost pet, and it is still in its belly at this moment, with no signs of leakage. This girl's mind is also very clear, and her mental structure is stable. , there is no sign of being invaded.”
"That's good… "
Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he was mentally prepared, if the girl was really taken away, he could only kill the child who had been following him for a long time.
Fortunately not.
"So... can you deal with the ancestral spirit in its belly?" Benjamin returned his attention to reality and asked the girl.
"I don't know." The girl shook her head and said, "The bird's behavior just now was completely beyond my control. I can't get any answers from it."
Benjamin scratched his head when he heard this.
So... what is this
He looked back at the film at the entrance, but it still hadn't disappeared. Perhaps because the ancestral spirits were not completely wiped out, they still could not leave.
However, at this moment, the girl let out a cry of surprise.
"Wait... Sir Benjamin, it seems that the bird wants to convey some message to me."
Benjamin also came back to his senses, frowned, and looked at the ghost bird with red eyes in confusion.
I saw the ghost bird suddenly stop on top of the ice ball and let out a strange cry. Then, it opened its mouth and spit out the shining soul heart.
Benjamin was stunned and quickly summoned a bubble to catch the soul heart.
"Eh..." The system seemed to suddenly become interested and said, "This stone is different from before. Something has filtered out the impurities inside, and now only pure spiritual power is left."
Hearing this, Benjamin raised his eyebrows.
Filtered out
He looked at the ghost bird again. Unexpectedly, the undead creature paused for a moment, then suddenly fluttered its wings and flew towards him. Then, it raised its tail, and with a soft pop, a cloud of scarlet gas was discharged from its tail.
“…”
The voice of the ancestral spirit seemed to be returning faintly. Benjamin was slightly startled, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.
At that moment, he didn't care about anything else. He took out a light element crystal from his pocket, crushed it in the palm of his hand, and then threw it towards the red gas without hesitation!
The fragments of light element crystals entered the air mass, just like a block of sodium thrown into water. They suddenly started to spin and began to dissolve in strange forms, making a sizzling sound.
Several beams of light flew out from it like leaks of electricity, and the light element... seemed to react quite violently with the red gas.
The two siblings still had some reaction, but they just stared at the changes inside the air mass with wide eyes.
After a moment, there was a bang, as if something exploded, a white light flashed inside the air mass, and the three of them couldn't help but close their eyes. Later, when they opened their eyes again, all the red gas and light element crystals completely disappeared into the cave.
All three showed varying degrees of surprise.
"… solved?"
Benjamin looked around and asked in his mind with some hesitation.
Looking back, he could clearly see that the red film at the entrance had begun to blur. The inexplicable power gradually disappeared and the tunnel was revealed again.
Does this mean that the ancestral spirits have been eliminated
"Hmm... It seems true." The system replied, "Anyway, I don't feel that guy's breath anymore."
Benjamin nodded, but his expression was still hesitant.
That moment just now seemed to be the ghost bird digesting it after devouring the ancestral spirit. But the most bizarre thing is that after digestion is completed, it not only spits out the filtered soul heart, but also lets go of the consciousness of the ancestral spirit like a fart...
This is a quite incredible process, and Benjamin feels very strange. However, he was not sure whether the ancestral spirit would be able to resurrect if the gas was allowed to drift like this. Therefore, at that moment, he chose to use light element crystals to destroy it.
-After research by the academy, the element of light does have a considerable restraining effect on undead creatures, and he has personally verified that ghosts are afraid of light.
However, he was still a little unsure at the moment.
Really eliminated
After all, it seemed to be a very powerful thing, and it was called such a majestic name as "ancestral spirit", but it ended up in such a tragic way. It was indeed a bit strange.
"The aura of the ancestral spirit has disappeared." The two siblings came back to their senses. After sensing it for a while, they showed relief, "Lord Benjamin... you really eliminated it!"
Benjamin touched his chin and looked around the cave again. This place is completely different from when he first came in. There is no flying red light, no ubiquitous spiritual power, and the weird sense of danger has gradually disappeared... This place is like an ordinary magma cave.
The ghost bird's glowing red eyes have also returned to normal.
So, Benjamin finally let go of the stone in his heart.
"Come on, let's get out of here quickly."
He waved his hand and the Soul Heart fell into his hand and put it away. At the same time, the soundproof ice ball also carried them along the entrance and began to quickly return along the road. The two siblings also came to their senses, nodded, and jumped out of the tension of fighting against the ancestral spirits, thinking about returning to the village outside.
Now...the ancestral spirits have been eliminated, and the illusion outside should also be destroyed, right
Benjamin's expression quickly became serious.
By rough calculation, he stayed in this cave for almost two hours. What's more troublesome is that the system says that it seems that after the ancestor spirits appeared, the sound waves that can create illusions have gradually begun to fade away.
So... the church and the overseas sects may have already decided a winner.
Thinking of this, Benjamin's speed became a little faster. They wasted a lot of time on the ancestral spirit. If the entire plan was delayed, he would be angry to death.
Soon, the three of them flew out of the forbidden area. The illusion disappeared, and there was still a silent night outside. Benjamin did not pause and rushed towards the place where the two sides had previously confronted.
Five minutes later, they saw bodies scattered all over the place.
"Priests... so many priests!" The girl covered her mouth and exclaimed.
On the barren stone ground, countless fresh corpses fell here, most of them were priests of overseas sects. Big craters have been smashed in many places, and the scorched black marks after the bombardment of the holy light are clearly visible.
Seeing this, Benjamin narrowed his eyes.
… The church won.
To be honest, this was something he expected. Without the help of illusions, and those priests holding magic weapons to restrain the mind, overseas sects have no chance of winning. But the trouble now is that he doesn't know how long ago the church won.
We have to rush towards the village quickly.
Not having time to pay attention to the corpses here, Benjamin took the two siblings and hurriedly flew towards the village.
