Chapter 187: Ghost in the Magic World - Practical Exam (5)
Duan Rong Yu shrugged. "I’ll guard first then. After a few hours, I’ll wake you up."
"Good."
In this way, they simply arranged for Shang Kui to be the last one to guard. This was mainly to make sure that she could have enough rest before it was morning and they have to wander around once again.
After all, both Duan Rong Yu and Jun Lin tacitly agreed that Shang Kui was someone whom they needed to protect to a certain degree.
Time passed quietly.
And at night time, the mysterious things have already started to move and started to resurface.
Xiang Kui, who was originally sleeping, opened her eyes at this moment.
She glanced out and saw that it was still Duan Rong Yu who was guarding, so she knew that it’s still early, but she didn’t plan to come out right now.
’They’re coming.’
The mysterious creatures were actually ghosts and Xiang Kui knew about them from the Time and Space Administrator. These ghosts couldn’t be dealt with by the magic that most people here have.
Or at least....
Their magic was not strong enough.
Xiang Kui knew that the ghost would be active at night and since she’s here, the ghost will definitely come forward.
This was what happened in Shang Kui’s previous life.
She saw the ghost and was too afraid because there were a load of information that entered her brain from the mental probe. Even when she asked for Shang Su and the others’ help, they couldn’t do anything.
So Xiang Kui slowly wake up and then walked out.
"Huh? Shang Kui, why did you wake up now?" Duan Rong Yu was surprised to see Shang Kui coming out.
"Uhm... I kind of unable to sleep right now." Xiang Kui scratched the back of her head. "Can we switch the arrangement?"
Duan Rong Yu thought for a moment and then nodded. "Then I’ll leave the guarding to you. If something or someone come, immediately wake us up."
With Shang Kui’s reconnaissance ability, Duan Rong Yu felt that it should be save to let Shang Kui be the one to guard them temporarily.
Of course, he would hope that nothing happened.
"Okay." Xiang Kui nodded and promised.
With this, Duan Rong Yu was relieved and went to sleep. He was also quite tired after fighting all day long.
It was quite exciting in the beginning but later on, it was really tiring.
Thankfully, they could basically control how many magic beasts they encountered with how far Shang Kui’s reconnaissance ability was.
So before they met with that rank 4, they also rested for quite some time.
The forest is dangerous and they wouldn’t dare to be so careless. While Duan Rong Yu and Jun Lin did bicker a lot, they were still wary of the situation around them and made sure that they would not accidentally cause trouble for themselves.
Xiang Kui sat down and then looked at the distance.
As time passed, the temperature grew colder and Xiang Kui’s eyes sharpened slightly as she spread out her mental strength, completely covering up the entire area.
It was deterrence.
The ghost was naturally attracted to Shang Kui’s strong mental strength and wanted to occupy it. That was one of the reasons why they chose to attack her and kept on targeting her.
Coupled with Shang Kui’s own weak personality, she was really afraid and couldn’t put up effective resistance.
This resulted in her having to fight miserably.
When the next ghost came, Shang Kui had already learned how to deal with them, but her mental strength had weakened because of the previous ghost. With the repeat of more and more ghosts coming, Shang Kui’s situation grew worse and worse.
And the last miserable battle where Shang Xiyue basically took the credit for what she had done just pushed Shang Kui further down.
*sigh*
But Shang Kui who had returned from the future should have known what method would best be used against these ghosts.
Xiang Kui directly spread out her senses and locked onto that ghost.
Physical attack like her flying knife wouldn’t be able to touch the ghost. The ghost was really mysterious as if they were in the soul form yet at the same time, they could also physically attack them.
Their existence itself was something that Xiang Kui couldn’t understand.
After all, this is a magic world instead of a ghost world.
Pssh!
The ghost sensed the strong mental fluctuation from Shang Kui and stopped in its movement.
It wanted to keep moving forward, but Xiang Kui used her action to warn the ghost directly. She launched powerful mental oppression.
A pity that Shang Kui didn’t know any mental attack.
If she knew, Xiang Kui didn’t have to hold back and directly destroy this weak ghost.
Tsk.
The ghost trembled when it sensed the strong mental oppression from Shang Kui.
This method was a bit wasteful and Shang Kui would become tired after that, but it was definitely effective.
Because after seeing how powerful Shang Kui is, the ghost retreated and headed in different direction.
That direction...
It should be where Shang Xiyue is, right?
The corner of Xiang Kui’s lips curled up slightly and she retained the strong mental strength surveillance for another half a minute before retracting it and then took a deep breath.
It was really tiring.
So she silently meditated while watching her surroundings quietly.
Xiang Kui didn’t know how many ghosts were there in this world and how many will come this time.
But after an hour, she heard loud scream coming from the distance.
A pity that she couldn’t see it directly.
If the system is here, she could also ask it to show live broadcast about what happened to the main character and Shang Xiyue.
’Do you like this gift, Sister?’ Xiang Kui asked in a soft voice, her eyes were cold and chilling.
Everything that Shang Xiyue said that she had born... let her try how it feels this time.
She took Shang Kui’s previous life credit.
Xiang Kui would not take Shang Xiyue’s credit, but she would let her pay for it on her own.
