Chapter 152 Annihilation Experiments, Never-ending

On the other side, the spiritual power generated by the momentary fear and other negative emotions of Wang Dahu and others had already alarmed the strange ghosts in the burial pit.

After all, Wang Dahu and his group numbered five thousand, and the spiritual power they generated was naturally far greater than that of Qi Mude and his dozen or so men.

Even though Wang Dahu and his group remained relatively calm and did not generate much spiritual power that was difficult to be eroded and assimilated by spiritual energy in a short period of time, their sheer number was overwhelming.

An overwhelming surge of spiritual energy rushed toward the burial pit, instantly drawing the attention of those eerie ghosts.

"Swish"

After the machine turned to face Wang Dahu and the others, the bodies of those eerie ghosts flickered and rapidly approached them.

"Prepare!"

Looking at those eerie ghosts, Wang Dahu suddenly roared.

“Crack~!”

In an instant, everyone drew their bows and nocked them.

The same applies to Wang Dahu.

However, this time, Wang Dahu did not mobilize his Iron Blood Qi, nor did he use his array formation abilities to connect the soldiers behind him to form a military formation.

He wanted to see if pure internal energy was truly incapable of killing these ghosts.

Yesterday, there were many people at Yumen Pass, so he couldn't conduct the experiment to avoid any unexpected situations.

Now, however, he can try things out freely.

However, because the internal energy of the soldiers in the rear was not as abundant as he was now, without the support of the military formation, the internal energy integrated into the bow and arrow was difficult to sustain until it could attack distant targets.

Therefore, he needed to bring those ghosts a little closer before attacking.

However, before Wang Dahu could give the order to fire the arrows, he was suddenly surprised to discover something.

When the ghosts were still twenty or thirty meters away from them, they suddenly stopped and lingered in place, seemingly terrified of them and hesitant to approach.

"Eh~?"

Without hesitation, Wang Dahu exclaimed in surprise.

What's happening here?
Could it be that these ghosts are afraid of them because there are so many of them?

Or is it true that when many people gather together, the yang energy is strong, and those ghosts dare not approach?

Or is it
Wang Dahu looked thoughtfully at the dark red blood cloud above, where the iron-blooded aura was gathering.

Perhaps, what those ghosts fear most is this iron-blooded, malevolent aura.
After all, this fierce and malevolent aura is capable of instantly killing those ghosts.

But do those ghosts feel fear?
Judging from their appearance yesterday, they didn't seem to possess any intelligence.

Even though Wang Dahu kept shooting down many other strange and eerie creatures.

The remaining ghosts did not react at all, focusing solely on hunting down the many civilians.

If that's the case, why would they be afraid of the yang energy and the bloodthirsty aura that might exist on everyone?
In fact, after spiritual power merges with the energy of heaven and earth, they have already acquired some instincts, but those instincts are extremely weak.

If it's just a small amount of iron-blooded aura, they might ignore it.

However, the iron-blooded aura above Wang Dahu and the others had already coalesced into a thick, dark red blood cloud, so the situation was naturally different.

That is an environment of absolute restraint, even capable of annihilating them.

Naturally, they will instinctively reject it, which will cause them to stop.

However, the strong spiritual power emanating from Wang Dahu and the others made them unwilling to leave, so they lingered about twenty or thirty meters away from Wang Dahu and the others.

As time went on, the number of those strange ghosts gradually increased.

Contact and collisions between them are naturally unavoidable.

In an instant, countless bizarre and ghostly creatures began to tear and devour each other.

It's truly a case of everyone missing a piece, each one looking like it's been chewed by a dog.

However, they are ultimately just energy entities.

Therefore, their wounds healed quickly, except for the knife and arrow wounds inflicted at the moment of their death.

"laugh!"

Looking at the eerie ghostly creature lingering ahead, unwilling to leave, Wang Dahu couldn't help but sneer. They really thought they were food.
"Fire arrows!"

"Bang bang bang"

"Buzz!"

As a cold shout rang out, a series of dark red arrows, some deep and some light, resembled a dark red blood cloud, instantly covering countless eerie ghosts twenty or thirty meters ahead.

"bang bang bang"

In an instant, a series of muffled sounds rang out, and those eerie ghosts were instantly flung away.

However, at the same time, the arrows that were shot at them also lost momentum and did not pierce them instantly.

Only the military aura attached to the arrows, upon contact with those strange and ghostly creatures, instantly spread and climbed up, corroding their bodies and creating holes of varying sizes.

If one is hit by countless arrows, their entire body will be almost completely corroded.

The remaining small wisp of spiritual energy could no longer maintain its human form, and it transformed into a ball of light the size of a fist or a ping-pong ball, radiating a hazy spiritual glow and constantly scattering specks of light.

Although it was somewhat surprising that those eerie ghosts would form orbs of light of varying sizes after shattering.

However, Wang Dahu and his men did not stop there.

Does anyone know what's going on with those orbs of light?
What if that's a backup plan from those eerie ghosts?

"Fire arrows!"

With another loud shout, a volley of arrows immediately rained down.

"Puff puff"

This time, those eerie ghosts no longer had enough energy to deflect the arrows. Instead, the true energy carried by the arrows pierced through their bodies, instantly penetrating them and disappearing into the soil behind them.

The true energy on it, however, clung to the bodies of those strange and ghostly creatures like maggots, beginning to erode and dissolve their bodies and power.

In the end, there were no more strange ghosts in front of Wang Dahu and his group, only a cluster of energy orbs of varying sizes.

While rejoicing that true energy, if in sufficient quantity, could also kill strange ghosts, Wang Dahu also frowned slightly, wondering what those orbs of light formed after the strange ghosts shattered were.

Could they be eggs left behind by those eerie ghosts, or a backup plan for resurrection?
After a moment's hesitation, Wang Dahu suddenly drew his bow and shot an arrow, which whistled and struck a fist-sized ball of light.

"puff!"

The arrow pierced through instantly, spreading dark red true energy. The ball of light shattered in an instant, turning into countless specks of spiritual light, which eventually dissipated into the world.

Oh, so it can be completely eliminated. Instantly, Wang Dahu felt relieved.

"Fire arrows! Wipe them out!"

"Bang bang bang"

"whoosh whoosh"

"Mwah mwah mwah"

After a volley of arrows, all that remained in front of them were arrows stuck in the ground and a wisp of light that was gradually fading away.

However, just when everyone thought they had completely eliminated those strange ghosts...

But then suddenly, they saw strange, ghostly creatures appearing abruptly from the ground in the distance.

"Huh? There are still some."
Could it be...?

Looking at the eerie ghosts in the distance, Wang Dahu frowned slightly. Could it be that the people buried here would all reappear as ghosts?

Does that mean they're going to kill them all over again?
If that's all there is to it, then it's nothing.

However, they don't seem to appear all at once.

That would make things a bit tricky.

He can't stay here forever.

Are we going to send troops to garrison here?
Hmm, it doesn't seem like it's impossible.

And
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Wang Dahu's eyes lit up.

Since those people are destined to become ghosts, what if we destroy those corpses? Will they still become ghosts? This is something worth trying.

Moreover, stationing troops is not out of the question.

Since the Iron-Blooded Aura can inflict such great damage on those strange ghosts and even deter them from approaching,

In addition, those eerie ghosts don't seem to appear all at once on a large scale.

Therefore, they only need one sentry, or even a squad of soldiers, to kill these strange ghosts one by one.

As Wang Dahu fell into deep thought, the eerie ghosts in front of him gathered together once again.

Upon seeing this, Wang Dahu immediately issued another order.

This time, however, Wang Dahu activated his array-setting supernatural power.

In an instant, the iron-blooded aura above the army surged, instantly enveloping everyone below, and their power instantly merged into one.

"Bang bang bang"

"whoosh whoosh"

Sharp arrows shot out in an instant.

Even though Wang Dahu didn't deliberately activate the Iron-Blooded Killing Aura, these arrows, enhanced by the military formation, were still tainted with it.

In the next instant, countless sharp arrows struck the many strange and eerie creatures.

"Puff puff"

"bang bang bang"

Almost identical to Wang Dahu's deliberate use of his Iron-Blooded Killing Qi, those eerie ghosts were instantly blasted apart one by one.

Seeing this, Wang Dahu couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

He then began to reduce the number of people forming the army.

From the initial five thousand, to three thousand, then to two thousand, then to one thousand, five hundred, and finally even to the squads, with the squad leaders setting up the military formations.

As it turns out, even the smallest unit, the 5th grade, still has a strong killing power against those strange ghosts and monsters, and can kill them instantly.

It can only be said that the Iron-Blooded Killing Aura of a group of five is simply less numerous, but its essential strength is no different from that of other Iron-Blooded Killing Auras.

They possess an overwhelming advantage when facing those eerie ghosts.

The only drawback is that they will be overwhelmed when faced with a large number of eerie ghosts.

Moreover, because of the small number of people, the resulting iron-blooded aura is extremely thin, which has a certain deterrent effect on those strange ghosts, but is not enough to completely stop them.

They even dared to approach within a few meters. If there were more of them, the power of the eerie ghosts would permeate the area and even counteract their instinctive repulsion of the iron-blooded aura, thus launching an even more ferocious attack.

Therefore, if troops need to be stationed there, at least a small squad should be dispatched.

With the group of 15 men covering for each other, judging from the current situation at the burial pit, there shouldn't be any problems.

However, he still wants to try something else.

That is to try to dig up all the bodies of those who died in battle and burn them.

He wanted to see if they could still turn into those strange ghosts after he destroyed all their dead bodies.

Afterwards, Wang Dahu summoned the garrison of Yumen Pass to work with them to dig out the corpses again.

He had originally been worried about the possibility of strange ghosts appearing and harming people.

However, with the army mobilized, their iron-blooded aura enveloped the entire burial pit, and those eerie ghosts dared not emerge at all.

After digging out the entire body, they poured kerosene on it and burned it to ashes.

After filling the pit back in, Wang Dahu stayed by the site for another day.

At the very beginning, those eerie ghosts did indeed stop appearing.

But as time passed, around noon the next day, illusory figures began to appear there again.

At this point, Wang Dahu was finally certain that even if the bodies of those who died in battle no longer existed, those strange ghosts would still form.

I just don't know why there aren't any on the battlefield, but strange ghosts keep forming in the area where this burial pit is located.

Could it be related to time?

Wang Dahu looked thoughtful.

However, that's none of his business anymore.

All he needed to do was report the situation to the authorities and inform General He Jiping of Shazhou to send troops to guard the burial pit.

As for other matters, those are naturally left for the leader to worry about.
