514: Thick fog

Netherworld Ghost Soldier: A unique creature of the Nether Abyss that is immune to most physical and elemental attacks and excels at soul attacks.

The three Netherworld Ghost Soldiers stared at Qin Shilei for a moment, then suddenly moved and lunged at him.

Qin Shilei quickly thrust his sword three times.

He deliberately imbued his longsword with the power of thunder.

With three crackling sounds, the three Netherworld Ghost Soldiers were electrocuted to oblivion by the power of thunder.

Qin Shilei, however, frowned.

Although he had killed the three Netherworld Ghost Soldiers, each one had managed to persist for half a second before completely dissipating into the air.

These three Netherworld Ghosts were only at the Silver Realm, yet they could still hold out for half a second against the extremely rigid and yang power of thunder. It was clear that the description claiming these Netherworld Ghost Soldiers were immune to most elemental attacks was not just an empty reputation.

After dealing with the three Netherworld Ghost Soldiers, Qin Shilei continued to fly forward.

Due to the obstruction of the dense fog, Qin Shilei could no longer distinguish the direction and did not know exactly where the place marked on the treasure map was.

He only knew that the treasure location required passing through a field of rocky outcrops, and not far from the rocky outcrops was a Cliff.

The demon heart was hidden beneath the Cliff.

After flying for a while longer, a sound of fighting suddenly came from ahead.

Qin Shilei paused, then fully concealed his aura and slowly crept forward.

The sounds of fighting gradually ceased, followed by the voices of demons talking.

"I told you not to come in, but you wouldn't listen. Now look, we can't get out."

"If you were truly so firm, why did you follow us in?"

"Stop arguing, hurry and think about how we can get out."

"How about we use the item the Master gave us?"

"We haven't even seen a shadow of that Flame Demon yet, and you want to use the item? Aren't you afraid of the Master's punishment?"

"Let's wait a bit longer; if we really can't leave, we'll consider using that item."

"Damn these ghosts, they are endless."

With the last angry voice, the sounds of fighting came from ahead once again.

"Flame Demon? Are they talking about me?"

Qin Shilei, however, became a little curious about the item the demons ahead were talking about.

He continued to fly forward and soon discovered a group of hundreds of Netherworld Ghosts surrounding three Diamond Realm demons.

Those three demons were a Flame Demon, a Blood Demon, and a Dark Demon, respectively.

Most of those Netherworld Ghosts were Golden Realm ghost generals, and there was also one Platinum Realm ghost king.

The three demons stood back to back, their energy attacks ready to be unleashed.

The Netherworld Ghosts were quickly circling around the demons.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, the ghost king let out a shriek, and the numerous ghosts lunged at the three demons simultaneously.

Fireballs, blood arrows, and shadow whips blasted toward the surrounding ghost generals flying in.

One after another, the ghost generals were blasted to the ground, dying on the spot.

However, due to the obstruction of the dense fog, the three demons did not notice that over a hundred ghost generals had swooped down from above them.

When these hundred-plus ghost generals flew within ten meters of the demons, they were finally discovered.

The three demons each used their own methods and finally killed all the ghost generals above them within three meters.

Just as the three demons breathed a sigh of relief, the Platinum Realm ghost king silently lunged at the Flame Demon and instantly disappeared into its body.

Following closely, more than a dozen ghost generals also rushed into the Flame Demon's body.

"Pfft!"

The Flame Demon threw its head back and spat out a mouthful of blood, followed by a large burst of purple flames erupting from its entire body.

The ghost king from just before was also burned away by this burst of flames.

Before the ghost king could escape, it was blasted to death by a blood seal from the Blood Demon beside it.

The surrounding Netherworld Ghosts that hadn't died also retreated at this moment, disappearing into the dense fog.

The Flame Demon could no longer hold on, sat down on the ground, and its spirit instantly withered significantly.

"These Netherworld Ghosts are truly not to be underestimated; a mere Platinum Realm ghost king actually injured a Diamond Realm Flame Demon so severely."

Witnessing all of this, Qin Shilei was secretly astonished.

He waited for a while, and after the Flame Demon's aura had calmed down a bit, he walked toward them from the shadows.

"Another one is coming, everyone be careful."

The footsteps Qin Shilei deliberately made immediately alerted the three demons.

"Who is it?" Qin Shilei also deliberately asked.

"It's not those ghastly things?" The Blood Demon looked at the approaching Qin Shilei with some confusion.

Qin Shilei stopped about twenty meters in front of the three demons.

At this distance, the three demons could barely distinguish that Qin Shilei was a Dark Demon.

"Who are you, and why are you here?" the Blood Demon questioned.

"My name is Anthony. I entered here by accident. Who are you, and do you know how to leave this place?"

Qin Shilei pretended to look at them very guardedly.

The three demons scanned Qin Shilei up and down for a while, then exchanged glances with each other.

It was still the Blood Demon who spoke: "We are Great Lords under Arons. We also entered here by accident and are troubled about how to get out. Would you like to join us in finding a way to leave?"

Qin Shilei pondered for a moment and replied, "Alright!"

Then, both sides began to exchange information.

"How long have you been in here?"

"Three days, what about you?"

"I've been in here for less than half a day."

"Then do you still remember the way you came in?"

"It's useless. I tried to go back, but I just couldn't get out."

"This is truly a hellish place. We also tried flying straight up, but we couldn't get out of the range of the dense fog."

"I just passed through a field of rocky outcrops and found it to be a bit strange; there might be a clue to leaving. I was just about to explore it carefully when I had to leave because I was avoiding a group of Netherworld Ghosts."

"Rocky outcrops? It seems there was a large field of rocky outcrops where we just passed through."

The three demons flew toward that field of rocky outcrops with Qin Shilei while looking for anything strange about them.

"What a coincidence."

Qin Shilei sighed inwardly, then casually found an excuse to brush off the other party's questions.

At the same time, a trace of doubt arose regarding the issue of being unable to leave that the Flame Demon mentioned.

Several minutes later, some small stones slowly appeared on the black ground.

Following that, some large stones two or three meters high appeared.

"Is this the field of rocky outcrops you were talking about?" the Blood Demon asked, touching a pitch-black large stone in front.

"It should be. It's just that I entered the rocky outcrops from the edge of a Cliff, and I don't know how far this is from the place I mentioned that has a magic array."

Qin Shilei replied casually.

"Then shall we continue moving forward to see?" the Blood Demon suggested.

"Alright." The Dark Demon and the Flame Demon agreed in unison.

Just then, the sound of howling wind echoed all around again.

"They're here, those ghosts are coming again," the Flame Demon said with a drastically changed expression.
