Chapter 414 The three of them looked into the swamp together.
Taking advantage of this brief moment, Long Chuqing and Feng Yu sheathed their spirit swords and, using their fingers as pens, quickly formed talismans amidst the swirling golden light and shadows.
"Sususu!"
The talismans at their fingertips emerged simultaneously, overlapping with Fei Feng's soul-suppressing talisman to form a second layer of restraint. Under the suppression of the double talismans, the ghost was firmly imprisoned within.
The talisman shone with golden light, and the ghostly demon let out a shrill scream within the golden light, its form beginning to twist and become ferocious.
Feng Yu and Long Chuqing seized the opportunity to leap up, raising their golden and ice swords high, their blades igniting with blazing flames and extreme cold, before slashing down fiercely!
"Burning Flame Slash!"
Ice Scale Slash!
"boom!"
The fire phoenix and the ice dragon intertwined and charged towards the two evil spirits respectively.
"Roar--"
Under the impact of the two powerful forces of fire and ice dragon, heat waves and extreme cold constantly assaulted the bodies of the two ghostly beings.
"Ah ah ah..."
The black mist churned violently, not from a giant beast roaring, but from the countless souls within the Ghost Fiend's body howling in pain.
The ghostly aura gradually weakened.
After letting out a final, unwilling roar, it could no longer maintain its gigantic body and completely disintegrated, turning back into a sky full of black mist.
Even as it transformed into a sky full of black mist, the Soul-Suppressing Talisman still firmly imprisoned it within.
The remaining evil spirits and demons desperately rammed against the array talismans, trying to break free and escape. However, under the double-layered soul-suppressing array, even the most malevolent ghosts could not break free, so how could a single vengeful spirit be allowed to escape?
Long Chuqing and Feng Yu swung their swords again, annihilating the black mist wherever they went, which eventually dissipated into the world.
The evil spirits and demons that had been watching from a distance lost all interest after witnessing the destruction of the two powerful ghosts and drifted away.
The three did not pursue those who escaped.
"Aqing, Fengyu, are you both alright?" Feifeng came to their side and asked.
Feng Yu rubbed her wrist and shook her head, saying, "I'm fine. I just used up a lot of spiritual energy. I'll be fine after resting for a while."
Long Chuqing flipped her hand, and the ice sword dissipated. "I'm fine too. Like Feng Yu, I just overused some of my spiritual energy."
Her voice was soft, tinged with weariness.
If they hadn't learned the art of talismans, these vengeful spirits would have been quite difficult to deal with.
However, it is also illogical to use talismans to deal with ghosts and evil spirits from the beginning, since ghosts and evil spirits are formed from thousands of vengeful spirits and have great power.
Therefore, the only way to ensure success is to first weaken the power of the evil spirit little by little, then use the Soul-Suppressing Talisman to bind it, and finally kill it.
Fortunately, the process was relatively successful.
"It's good that you're alright. There was quite a commotion just now, but thankfully no one was hurt." Fei Feng relaxed her shoulders and breathed a long sigh of relief. "Controlling the talisman just now also consumed a lot of my spiritual energy."
"By the way, Feifeng." Long Chuqing looked at Feifeng: "I saw you fighting with the monsters in the mud earlier. Were you hurt? What's the situation now?"
Although the evil spirits are gone and the other vengeful spirits have fled, the monster in the mud is still lurking nearby, waiting for its chance to strike. Now is not the time to let our guard down.
All three of them turned their gazes toward the mud pit.
The area around the mud pit is currently very calm, with no signs of danger visible on the surface, and Fei Feng's array barrier remains intact.
“I’m fine. Those bone whips are very cunning and are good at ambushing. They would retreat back into the mud every now and then.” Thinking of the scene she had just witnessed, Fei Feng frowned slightly. “Moreover, I think those bone whips and rotten hands are just the surface. The real monster is probably lurking deep in the mud, secretly controlling all of this.”
"The monsters and vengeful spirits in the mud don't seem to be allies. Their attack just now seemed like a test, or a provocation. It felt like they weren't using their full strength, and I don't know what their purpose was."
What could a monster possibly have, or what could its purpose be?
What kind of intelligence can a monster have?
Monsters are generally simple-minded creatures that do things unpredictably and rely entirely on brute force.
Feng Yu pondered for a while and felt that trying to guess what these monsters were thinking was rather boring.
"Whatever their intentions, let's just avoid them. They can't just rush out of the mud and chase after us, can they? Besides, if that monster really wanted to deal with us, it would have attacked by now. The surroundings are still calm and peaceful, so it probably doesn't intend to make a move!"
Who knows how many monsters are lurking in the swamp ahead.
How strong are they?
If a conflict were to actually arise, it would inevitably be another bitter battle.
The battle with the ghosts had already depleted a lot of their spiritual energy, and it was really not advisable for them to clash with these monsters again now.
Avoiding it now is the best option.
The reason those monsters attacked was perhaps because they had trespassed into their territory.
This move is likely intended as a warning.
“Hmm.” Long Chuqing responded, “Feng Yu is right, we’ll just take a detour.”
I was unaware of the strangeness of this place, which is why I entered it.
Now that we know the monster exists, there's no need to go looking for trouble!
“Alright, let’s head east.” Fei Feng looked at the light screen: “Once we’re a little further away, I’ll remove the barrier to avoid another sneak attack.”
She had experienced firsthand the cunning of those bone whips.
"Help...help me...glug glug, help...help me...glug glug..."
Just as the three were about to go around, a cry for help suddenly came from the depths of the mud.
"Hmm?" Fei Feng stopped in her tracks. "Feng Yu, A Qing, did you hear anything?"
"Pfft... Help me... Help me, I... gurgle..."
Before Long Chuqing and Feng Yu could respond, the cries for help rang out again.
The three of them looked into the swamp together.
One of the mud pits was writhing strangely, as if a dirty, dark shadow had appeared in it.
"Huh? Did you see anything suddenly emerge from the mud and then sink back down?" Feng Yu squinted, carefully examining the mud pit where the strange movement had just occurred. "Was that sound a cry for help?"
She wasn't sure either, since the voice was somewhat indistinct.
It's like speaking with something in your mouth.
Seeing this, Fei Feng murmured, "Did it sink in? Or was it pulled down by force?"
After all, not long ago, she was almost dragged into the mud by her ankles after being entangled by the bone whip!
“It is indeed a cry for help, but it could also be a trap.” Long Chuqing stroked his chin, pondering, “Could they be trying to lure us in?”
“That’s possible!” Fei Feng agreed. “Maybe it’s just an illusion created by that monster controlling the bone whip.”
After all, those bones could be shaped into the form of a dragon, so creating a phantom image is a piece of cake.
"Heh..." Feng Yu crossed her arms and sneered, "If that's really the case, then their scheme will probably fail. We're not the kind of busybodies who like to be nice."
To survive in this Heavenly Void Abyss, one cannot have too much empathy, otherwise, one day you might be devoured to the bone without even knowing it.
"Tattoo!"
A thin, muddy figure emerged from the mud, flapping its paws as it tried to struggle ashore.
"help me……"
