700: Dead Town

They were insane!

Night Feather and Night Ning, two Dead Spirits, felt like their brains were about to explode!

They actually saw greed and excitement towards Dead Spirits in a human's eyes?

What in the world was happening?

Although Night Feather and Night Ning considered themselves quite handsome among the Dead Spirit Race, they shouldn't be within a human's hunting range!

They weren't even the same species!

In an instant, Night Feather and Night Ning's minds completely collapsed. They huddled together, trembling, not daring to look at the terrifying human outside.

“Uh…”

“Are they that psychologically fragile? Just one companion dying scared them this much?”

Seeing this, Wang Chen raised an eyebrow in surprise.

All the books he had read about Dead Spirits described them as vicious, tyrannical, and incredibly terrifying…

But in the end, this was it?

“Tell me the location of your gathering place, and I can give you a quick death.”

Using magic power to pull the two Dead Spirits in front of him, Wang Chen said with a cruel expression.

“I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything.”

Night Feather and Night Ning, trembling from their own wild thoughts, had no thought of resistance. They immediately spilled everything they knew, like beans from a bamboo tube.

Soon.

Wang Chen got the information he wanted.

These three Dead Spirits came from Black Fire Town, located in the central area of the Demon Beast Forest, about a hundred miles from here. The entire town had about 1,300 Dead Spirits.

Unlike humans, all members of the Dead Spirit Race were cultivators, possessing Early Stage first-order strength from birth.

Among these 1,300 Dead Spirits, most were ordinary Dead Spirits of the first, second, and third orders, accounting for about eighty percent of the total Dead Spirit population.

Besides that, there were elite Dead Spirits like Night Feather and Night Ning, who could go out hunting. Their total number was around two hundred, and their strength was generally between the fourth and sixth orders.

The strongest Dead Spirits in Black Fire Town were the town chief and the captain of the hunting team, one being Late Stage seventh-order and the other Middle Stage seventh-order.

The strength of this Dead Spirit town alone could basically contend with Qing Shi City, but…

Such strength was no pressure for Wang Chen.

“The experience points this Dead Spirit town can provide me are probably more than an S-class Magic Tide in the Huiguang World.”

“Especially the town chief and the captain of the hunting team. Although their strength is only at the seventh order, based on the experience points just gained, the experience points they can provide are equivalent to an eighth-order wild Demonic Beast king.”

Wang Chen thought excitedly, feeling a bit impatient.

Besides the strength and location of Black Fire Town, Wang Chen also got news about Netherworld Crystals from these two Dead Spirits.

Although this item was useless to him, it was a rare treasure in the Netherworld.

If he sold it, it would probably fetch a sky-high price.

“Towards Green Field Town, there's only Black Fire Town as a Dead Spirit town in the central and outer areas of the Demon Beast Forest. I'll deal with them tonight.”

Wang Chen thought to himself, waving his hand to directly crush the two trembling Dead Spirits, then cleaned up the battlefield and set off.

…

…

An hour later.

Wang Chen stood on the crown of a large tree, observing the somewhat bizarre scene before him.

This was the central area of the Demon Beast Forest, and it was a densely vegetated region. Every tree around was at least twenty meters tall.

And in such a place, a small town, similar in size to Green Field Town, suddenly appeared within it.

The reason it was called sudden was because the entire town seemed to have directly crashed into the forest. Houses overlapped with the trees, as if two sheets of drawing paper were directly pasted together.

Wang Chen clearly saw that the Dead Spirits in the town below, despite having a large tree trunk directly in front of them, seemed to walk through it without noticing, and even emerged from the other side of the trunk, as if the tree didn't exist.

“Two worlds merging together, truly a strange sight.”

Wang Chen watched this scene with interest, feeling very peculiar.

From the Dead Spirits Night Feather and Night Ning, besides the location of Black Fire Town and the Netherworld Crystals, he also gained a lot of information about the Dead Spirit Race.

According to Night Feather and Night Ning, the Dead Spirit Race lived in the dark side of the Netherworld, and only at night would it merge with the human world, gaining the ability to walk in the real world.

When the sun rose, all Dead Spirits and everything related to them would become invisible.

At this time, Dead Spirits in the wild would fall silent, unable to perceive anything happening in the outside world.

However, Dead Spirits in towns could move freely and even observe the situation of humans outside, but in this state, they could not interfere with any existence other than Dead Spirits.

“What a strange ecology.”

“If these Dead Spirit towns were in the same location as human towns in the Netherworld, when night falls, the situation would be quite thrilling to imagine.”

Wang Chen thought playfully, then moved his feet and jumped directly from the treetop.

With a bang!

He crashed into Black Fire Town like a cannonball, instantly attracting the attention of the surrounding Dead Spirits.

These half-human, half-insect monsters, seeing the human appear in the town, straightened their antennae on their heads, swaying them in confusion.

What was going on?

Was this human committing suicide by not hiding in the magic dispelling array at night and running here?

But soon, the eyes of the surrounding Dead Spirits became ferocious.

“Hahahaha, a human actually delivered himself to us?”

“Mother God above, is this human insane?”

“What a sweet scent, I haven't tasted fresh human flesh and blood in decades.”

“Thanks to Mother God's grace!”

One by one, the Dead Spirits looked at Wang Chen with fierce and cruel eyes, and many Dead Spirits were drooling.

Few humans dared to leave the magic dispelling array at night, and almost none dared to enter a Dead Spirit gathering place.

Normally, only those Dead Spirit powerhouses who joined the hunting team had the chance to taste humans.

Those who could only stay in town, like them, had never seen a human with their own eyes in their entire lives.

“Unlucky human, quickly become my food.”

After regaining its senses, a Dead Spirit, unable to suppress its appetite, excitedly charged towards Wang Chen.

The folds on its lower insect body rapidly wriggled, providing it with extreme speed, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Wang Chen.

Its large mouth, full of sharp teeth, opened wide and bit directly at Wang Chen's shoulder, eager to taste the delicious human flesh and blood.

And after this Dead Spirit moved, the surrounding Dead Spirits, who had also reacted, instantly followed suit.

In just a blink of an eye, Wang Chen was surrounded by dozens of Dead Spirits.
