Chapter 114 Transformation of Starving Ghosts and Wish Ghosts
Zhongzhou City Taiping Ancient Town.
From a distance, you can see this small town of blue bricks and black tiles lying quietly on the horizon, like a blue and black corpse exposed outside a tomb.
Even on the brightest days, there is always a lingering gloom that cannot be eradicated.
The establishment of this town can be traced back to the Republic of China.
In that era when supernatural beings were most rampant and rampant, a group of people established a town here and opened up a ghost street.
In its heyday, this street with simple folk customs had coffin shops, tailor shops, tattoo parlors, and mask sellers on the roadside... Every business represented a kind of terror.
This place is even connected to the [Ghost Lake] where countless ghosts dwell.
So Wu Nai came here.
The ghost ship and the supernatural behind it brought him tremendous pressure.
It made him eager to improve himself.
The fastest way to improve is to deal with supernatural events and obtain skills and abilities from ghosts.
As long as enough evil ghosts are dealt with and the degree of alienation is reached, then all problems will no longer be a problem.
Huh... Wu Nai stood on the mottled stone bridge in the town and took a deep breath. Under the stone bridge was a cold river. The water was clear, and every drop contained a supernatural aura.
As he breathed, the steaming water vapor continued to flow into his body along with bits and pieces of supernatural powers.
It's not much, but it's better than nothing.
Currently, the skill [Ark] brings the most abilities.
The immortal ghosts were imprisoned in the physical treasure raft, and after being transformed, they changed their appearance and became a part of his body.
Supernatural energy and alienation are fully integrated, constantly strengthening his body.
The superpowers released during this process increased Wu Nai's savings to a huge amount of two million.
And as conversions continue to deepen, this number is still rising.
But it's not enough, he needs more.
From the fifth stage of alienation to the sixth stage, a full 10 million points of superpowers are needed.
So I am still too poor, and I urgently need support from kindhearted ghosts like [Ghost Lake], but before entering Ghost Lake, I still need the best plan...
Five eternal rings rotated in Wu Nai's eyes, and the clear light flickered, reflecting all the visible and invisible things in this world.
At the same time, the skills [Simulation], [Communication], [Prompt] and [Precognition] are activated alternately.
Silently, the torrent of information continued to gather. Countless characters entered Wu Nai's mind and combined with each other. After calculation, they turned into bizarre future pictures.
These scenes are combined together and played frame by frame, which is what Wu Nai is most likely to experience in the future.
After leaving [Ghost Painting], the world's blockade is no longer so tight.
He once again gained the ability to extract information from everything.
In the face of this kind of skill with omniscient potential, even [Ghost Lake] is no longer an unsolvable event.
After digesting the information contained in the picture, Wu Nai has a general grasp of what will happen next and can make arrangements in advance.
He turned his attention to the skill column.
With a thought, [Oracle] and [Frost] and [Border·Domain] were combined together.
Judging from the news he just received, the thing that is most restrained by water-type supernatural beings like Guihu is not fire.
It's ice that can freeze water.
In the process of interweaving complex lines, [Frost] absorbed the secrets of the other two skills and mutated.
The words "Power Points: 2000000.0" were blurred and turned into "Power Points: 1500000.0".
After spending half a million power points, the skill [Frost] was promoted to [Absolute Freeze].
[Absolute Freezing: With this skill, you can distort reality, freeze supernatural beings, and freeze everything in an instant for eternity (Note: The effect of the skill is directly linked to the degree of alienation). 】
With this skill, you can save a lot of trouble, and you are almost ready to go... Wu Nai felt the new skill born in his body, took a step forward, and turned into thousands of stars that dissipated.
The next moment, he appeared at the abandoned ferry in Taiping Ancient Town.
At this time, the night was already deep.
In the darkness, a thin mist appeared on the river lying between the ancient towns. The mist condensed and became thicker.
They blurred the vision and shrouded the river, just like dark clouds shrouding the legendary underworld that no one has ever reached.
In the original destiny trajectory, a dim light would light up behind the fog at this node.
An old black wooden boat will come down from the upper reaches of the river and stop at the ferry.
After taking out the special [paper money] and paying the boat fee, the ghost master can take the boat to the supernatural place where the ghost lake is located.
But Wu Nai has no money.
In fact, he had no plans to take a boat. In his opinion, the boat was of very low quality and would be easily overloaded in the [simulated] future.
Far less real than your own abilities.
After all, with the Ark skill, Wu Nai's body is the most powerful raft, capable of crossing the world, not to mention this supernatural river.
As Wu Nai left the ground, his footsteps landed on the water. Wherever he passed, circles of ripples spread out on the dark black river surface, intertwining with each other to form some kind of strange texture.
Click, click...
Along with the ripples, there were subtle footsteps, echoing in the empty and dense fog.
One after another, one after another, it seems to contain some kind of lonely rhythm, and it seems like someone is knocking on the door of the underworld.
Following the images in his memory, Wu Nai walked step by step through the fog towards the depths of the water.
The river surface, which was poured until it was flush with the bank, became wider and wider, and the buildings and scenery on both sides continued to twist.
Starting to get closer to the source... Wu Nai walked on the water and felt that the supernatural power he breathed was getting bigger and bigger.
Seeing the values in his sight constantly jumping, he knew that he had come to the right place.
Next, a black wooden boat should appear...Wu Nai looked back at the scenes he had "seen" and looked around.
Sure enough, in the thick fog ahead, I saw a light rising.
The fire was dim and cold, like the phosphorescence burning from the corpses of the dead, dispersing part of the fog in front.
A corner of the old and abandoned ferry emerged from the thick fog with the help of firelight, and was exposed to Wu Nai's sight.
Then a black wooden boat docked in front of the ferry.
Three ghosts that ordinary people cannot see walked down the ferry.
These three ghosts rode the wooden boat and headed deeper.
"It's kind of an appetizer."
Wu Nai smiled slightly, and pressed his hand on the cold water, as if gently stroking some kind of ghost that could overturn the city in an instant.
The already very calm water surface was frozen directly at this moment.
[Absolute Freeze] Skill burst.
Wu Nai inspired a domain composed of clear light, and everything that this domain passed through was solidified.
Under the erosion of his power, a corner of the fog and darkness that persisted all year round in this section of the river collapsed, and a silent clear light fell on the frozen river, with fine ripples.
The black wooden boat and the three ghosts on it were also rigidly fixed there.
Wu Nai stepped forward and took each one into his body.
The moment the seizure was successful, a series of twisted characters flashed before his eyes: "Power points: 2100000.0."
After the capture was completed, Wu Nai put away his [domain], the frozen river surface recovered, and the wooden boat continued to float towards the ghost lake.
Darkness and mist gathered again, filling the space left after the clear light dissipated.
Wu Nai continued to move forward with the wooden boat, and soon walked out of the river and entered a strange large lake.
Huh...he took a deep breath in this lake where countless evil ghosts were stored and running around all the time.
Countless power points came rushing in.
"Power points: 3000000.0"
"Power points: 3300000.0"
"Power points: 4000000.0"
…
[Contact ghosts at close range, collect the laws scattered around, and obtain a brand new skill - imitation! 】
[Imitation: You can imitate any ghost you have invaded (note: it must have been invaded before, and the skill effect is linked to the degree of alienation). 】
[Close distance...acquire a new skill - Phenomenon! 】
[Phenomena: The ghost that is the source of the ghost lake does not exist in reality. It is a supernatural phenomenon, and the same applies to you who have this skill (note: the skill effect is linked to the degree of alienation). 】
Lines of worm-like twisted text passed before Wu Nai's eyes.
At the same time, with a thought in his mind, he took this opportunity to click " " on various parts such as [face], [hair], and [muscles].
Continuously improve the degree of alienation.
With the help of the huge supernatural power emanating from the ghost lake, all alienation levels were quickly raised to the fifth stage.
At this moment, Wu Nai felt "complete" like never before.
The most intuitive benefit brought about by entering the fifth stage of alienation is that the efficiency of transformation is greatly improved.
The improvement of conversion efficiency can accelerate the generation of ability points and supplement consumption.
This forms a virtuous cycle.
Standing on this lake that looked like the beginning of hell, a dark [World Tree] appeared behind Wu Nai.
The ghosts imprisoned in his body melted away one after another, turning into masses of inexplicable black juice. In addition to being poured over his body, part of it was also injected into the World Tree.
The intertwined tree roots squirmed and sucked the black juice, like living creatures swallowing the raw pulp that gave birth to the universe.
All these horrors have become the nourishment for Wu Nai to thrive, and the essence in his body is being supplemented and sublimated.
And all of this happens under the rules of a world where evil spirits cannot be destroyed.
None of these evil ghosts have disappeared, they just changed their form and continue to exist in this world.
Click, click, click... The World Tree continues to grow, and those horny dragon-like branches are no longer bare, but begin to grow some strange things.
There are gradually more rules contained in it, and it is no longer just about suppressing evil spirits.
This supernatural weapon is getting more and more terrifying, and Wu Nai has a hunch that if it continues to be nourished like this, it will soon surpass [Coffin Nails].
At that time, he will truly possess an unsolvable supernatural weapon.
But at this moment, he still had no intention of taking action against Ghost Lake.
Because it still works...
Before hunting the ghost lake, Wu Nai must take advantage of its characteristics to maximize profits.
After the less terrifying ghosts in the body were almost transformed, the transformation of [Ghost Coffin] reached 70%.
Wu Nai once again had enough remaining power in her body to transform the second extremely terrifying ghost.
So he took out a coffin made of pure gold from the gel space in front of himself.
This coffin was built by the headquarters at a cost of 1.5 billion and was specially used to imprison "starving ghosts".
When Wu Nai used coffin nails to nail the starving ghost and made great achievements after solving the S-class supernatural incident, Wang Xiaoming gave him the coffin in order to win over him.
Now Wu Nai once again opened this priceless gold coffin that was welded to death.
The starving ghost controlled by the wish ghost lay quietly inside.
Its head was pierced by a rusty coffin nail. It had a pair of dark, pupil-less eyes open, and its blue-black skin twitched slightly, as if it would wake up at any moment.
"Good guy, he is indeed a combination of two top supernatural beings, and there are already signs of another revival..."
Wu Nai noticed that bits and pieces of imperceptible black powder were falling off from the coffin nails on the starving ghost's head and floating in the golden coffin.
Most people would never notice it if they didn't pay attention, but they knew the original fate and were prepared for this matter.
So I noticed it immediately.
"It's time to resolve this hidden danger, otherwise it will be too late by the time it swallows the nail in the coffin."
Wu Nai put away the golden coffin, then carried the starving ghost and sank into the ghost lake with it.
The world under the Ghost Lake can be roughly divided into four levels. The beings imprisoned on each level are different, and the lower you go, the more terrifying it becomes.
The first level is the weakest ghost slave.
These ghost slaves are ordinary people who were killed by the ghost lake. After their death, their bodies were deposited in the ghost lake. After being contaminated by the supernatural, they would float together and form a dense tide of corpses.
The second level is the ghost masters. After they fell into the ghost lake, they sank deeper than the ghost slaves because of the supernatural power in their bodies.
The third level is Li Gui. In the original fate track, the person in charge of Zhongzhou City and Cao Yangzai, who became the captain, all sank to this level after being here.
The fourth floor was empty except for a black coffin.
At this time, Wu Nai led the starving ghost all the way down the ghost lake, and soon passed the first three levels and entered the fourth level.
Such a terrifying supernatural being sinking into the lake immediately brought a huge burden to the ghost lake that was already overflowing.
The calm lake water began to roll, turning into waves after waves hitting the earth and rocks on the shore.
The waves rolled up and some of the ghost slaves in the water, along with the fierce ghosts, were swept into the real world.
…
"No, something happened to the ghost lake, and it's not a small matter. Someone entered the lake and broke a certain balance!"
In the ancestral hall of Taiping Ancient Town, a one-eyed old man holding an enamel tea cup suddenly stood up.
"It seems that you also noticed that someone actually sneaked in. Our town is really not what it used to be. Call people quickly. Call the guy who runs the hotel and the faceless man together, otherwise Taiping Ancient Town will be flooded.
…”
A woman who was a guest in the ancestral hall also stood up and said.
She is about fifty years old, has an ordinary appearance, and is wearing a very old-fashioned dress. She will never be noticed in a crowd.
