Eighteen Ghost Emperors of my ancestors, how dare you make me live in terror?
Chapter 84 Are you trying to capture me alive to collect the bounty?
The moment they landed, an overwhelming chill swept over them, and the air was thick with the stench of blood, mingled with the scent of incense.
Lu Ye stared blankly at the colossal city that appeared before him.
That can't be right. Last time in the Ghost Marriage: Ten Miles of Red Makeup, he remembered that the map was in the wilderness, and at most there was a grand mansion called [Jiang Mansion]. How did it become a giant city?
Even if the map has been changed, it shouldn't be this outrageous. The main problem is that this giant city is just too magnificent.
A towering, massive city gate, with a blood-red "囍" character hanging on it.
On both sides of the city gate are endless city walls, all made of dark red bricks and stones, with fine beads of blood seeping from the cracks.
Every ten steps along the outer edge of the city wall, a red lantern was hung, its flame flickering and casting layers of shadows on the street.
"No, what about the Jiang residence?"
Lu Ye, holding the "key," turned to Chen Chen beside him and asked.
Chen Chen rummaged in his pocket for a while and finally pulled out something that looked like a jade pendant. It turned into a dark light and entered his brow. It was a jade talisman that carried information about the dungeon.
"The Jiang family is gone. Based on the details in the copy, I roughly know everything. Do you want to hear it?"
"Where did you get this thing?" Lu Ye glanced at him sideways.
"I bought it with money."
"That's pretty unconventional."
Chen Chen didn't answer; anything that could cost money wasn't a problem anyway.
"Considering your actions when you cleared that bizarre A-level dungeon, after you stole someone's bride, the top scholar groom went insane and slaughtered all the thousands of servants and wedding guests in the Jiang mansion. He killed some and ate others, and later even demolished the Jiang mansion."
"Then he stormed into the city, killed the original city lord, and became the boss himself. Now the entire city belongs to him."
"You've got quite a temper," Lu Ye said, shaking his head dismissively.
Bai Ye, standing nearby, asked curiously, "What does it mean to steal someone else's bride?"
"Curious kids shouldn't talk," Chen Chen interrupted directly. They were both S-level, and neither of them would tolerate the other.
Just then, someone suddenly exclaimed, "There's a bounty posted on the city wall!"
Everyone looked over and saw a huge bounty poster on the wall outside the city gate, with a portrait clearly drawn on it.
He looked at the bounty, then at Lu Ye.
He looked at Lu Ye, then at the bounty.
It was finally confirmed that the person in the bounty looked exactly like Lu Ye.
Whoever captures this person alive will be granted the position of city lord.
The bounty offered under the portrait is incredibly tempting: capture the person alive and you'll become the lord of this eerie megacity! It's like maxing out the reward!
rub.
Wang Chao, standing behind him, drew his own machete, the Ghost Weapon.
Then Lu Ye quickly kicked him away, glaring at him menacingly: "You little brat, are you trying to capture me alive to collect the bounty?"
Wang Chao lay on the ground, groaning twice before getting up. Looking bewildered, he asked, "Shouldn't I have taken out a weapon to defend myself in such a dangerous and bizarre dungeon?"
"I guess so." Lu Ye then realized it was an accidental injury. "But don't pull out a knife behind me next time. I'm more sensitive right now."
Let alone others, even he himself would want to tie himself up and offer himself up in exchange for the title of city lord, given such an enticing bounty.
He scanned the crowd.
"That's the situation. As you can see, I have a small grudge against that S-rank eerie city lord. Are you still going to enter the city? If not, let's leave now and treat this as a vacation."
Upon hearing this, it was unclear whether the other students from the Mountain Ghost Academy behind him were unaware of the situation or simply had a unique style of clearing the eerie dungeon.
Instead, it directly ignited their competitive spirit.
"We're already here, can we really not go in?"
"I've checked this instance; it's not difficult. We just go into the city, close the gates, leave no one alive, then find the city lord and kill him in two hits. We'll be the city lords ourselves!"
"Not bad, not bad, I think this method will work."
"What's the big deal about a small grudge? Just settle it."
Listening to the fervent clamor of the crowd, Lu Ye remained expressionless: "Now I know why being the principal is so difficult."
So they neither understood the situation nor knew how to clear the bizarre dungeon; they just recklessly charged in.
You're saying this S-rank dungeon is all about closing the door and leaving no one alive? How are you going to find out who the city lord is and kill him with two strikes?
So he's settled a small score? It's not that he's seeking revenge on the city lord, it's that the city lord is seeking revenge on him!
The problem is that even Bai Ye, who is an S-rank, has a "there's nothing wrong with doing this" expression on his face.
"Hehe, now you've finally witnessed the simple and honest school spirit of our academy, haven't you?" Chen Chen smiled expressionlessly. "You haven't seen how that strange and powerful ghost-type expert insisted on smashing to death with a giant iron hammer last time."
"I must find out what his ingredients are when I have time." Lu Ye was really curious about that oddball.
No wonder Mountain Ghost Academy ranks last among the top ten eerie academies in the Great Xia Dynasty, especially in the number of eerie dungeons cleared.
Aside from offline battles, they genuinely don't do any research on how to clear bizarre dungeons.
"They're right. Since we're already here, let's go in."
Bai Ye, the team's leader, was the first to head into the dark city gate, followed by Wang Chao and the other students.
"Wait a moment."
Lu Ye rummaged through his ghost pouch, pulling out various things that could conceal his aura and sticking them to himself. At the same time, the ghost coffin on his left hand opened, and the little ghost jumped out, crawling up his arm to his face, rubbing his cheeks with its little hands.
After a while.
Under the stunned gazes of everyone, Lu suddenly transformed into a completely different person.
Looking at Lu Ye's face, which was exactly the same as his own, Wang Chao felt a surge of painful memories. He hesitated, then said, "How about... you get a different face? Don't copy mine. My psychological trauma has just healed."
Little Ghost glanced into the crowd again, then reached out and rubbed his face with her little hand.
A moment later, an identical "White Night" stood in the same spot.
Bai Ye paused for a moment, then looked down at herself again. "This feeling is so strange. If you do something to yourself, wouldn't that be the same as doing something to me?"
"Although you look very cute, I don't like cute boys." Lu Ye pouted and let Xiao Gui rub it again.
Xiao Gui then turned her gaze to Chen Chen, who quickly covered his pig-like face and hid in the crowd, saying, "Don't copy me, I'm afraid of looking ugly."
Finally, Xiao Gui rolled her eyes and gave Lu Ye a new face that was completely different from anyone else's.
The three of them stared in disbelief: "Good heavens, is this a composite of our three faces?"
Lu Ye roared angrily, "If you keep arguing, I'll replace your faces with mine, and you'll all get beaten to a pulp by the city lord!"
He figured that since that S-rank weirdo hated him so much, he must remember his face and aura vividly. Maybe he would be swept out of the city the moment he stepped into it and then chased after him relentlessly.
For the sake of the team's safety, I'll have to put aside my handsome face for now.
Just then, "Key" tugged at his clothes, pointed to the little brat standing on his shoulder, and looked at him with affection.
"Like it? Take it and play with it."
Lu Ye then shoved the little devil into the "key's" hand. He already had experience with taking care of children.
After getting the "key," the little ghost kept rubbing its body with its little hands. After a while, it actually rubbed the little ghost into the shape of a little black cat, and even the sound it made became a cat's meow.
"It's actually quite cute, I'll be a cat from now on."
Lu Ye glanced at Xiao Gui's new appearance and was quite satisfied. It was much cuter than the previous little figure. Then, he took "Key" and was the first to walk through the city gate.
