Although he wanted to curse and flee, Zhou Chen did not do that. Instead, he charged towards the red figure that was flying towards him and spewed a large wave of high temperature flames.
He wanted to test if the fire damage was useful against this thing. If it was useful, it would be great. If not, he would use the Holy Light to expel it.
In less than half a second, Zhou Chen got the answer from the female ghost's reaction.
It moved forward without paying any attention to Zhou Chen's flames. Even though the flames covered its body, it did not dodge. It passed through the flames like it was passing through air and flew towards Zhou Chen.
"Fire is useless… Holy Light!"
Zhou Chen immediately released the Holy Light to shine forward, preparing to expel this female ghost that was about to approach him.
However, when he released the Holy Light, the female ghost did not immediately disappear like the previous two times. Instead, she circled around Zhou Chen in a rather human-like manner, as if she wanted to avoid the close range of the Holy Light and go behind Zhou Chen.
"?"
This strange situation immediately attracted Zhou Chen's attention. He turned slightly to look at the female ghost who had circled around him. He watched as she moved past him and shot towards the overcoat man behind, like a scarlet blood shadow!
"Its target is that guy?"
This development immediately surprised Zhou Chen. He did not expect that such a terrifying female ghost would actually defend him against the injustice. It was really touching.
Zhou Chen began to observe the developments.
He saw the female ghost wave her pale, long claws at the overcoat man's head.
The overcoat man immediately used its teleportation ability to dodge to a street dozens of meters away.
However, the female ghost did not give up. She charged forward like a blood shadow and used her astonishingly long pale claws to attack the man.
The man seemed to have been angered. He stopped dodging and quickly extended a dry black claw from his sleeve to fight the female ghost.
These two ghosts clearly had the ability to damage each other. One used its withered black claws to tear through the red clothes on the female ghost's body, and the other used its pale arm to knock off the overcoat man's mask, revealing his mouth that was like a skeleton's.
"All the best! All the best! Fight with all your might!"
Zhou Chen was amused when he saw the ghosts fighting each other. He wished for the situation to continue developing like this. When the two of them fought until both sides were injured, he could try to take advantage of it.
Thereupon, Zhou Chen quickly retreated and hid beside a nearby building to observe the situation.
The female ghost and the overcoat man fought more and more fiercely. The attacks of the two sides increased from a speed that could be easily seen with the naked eye to a blur. Zhou Chen could not see clearly even with the Dynamic Vision passive skill. He only knew that they were evenly matched. Although they were both injured, it seemed to be too early to decide the winner.
Zhou Chen was not anxious. He observed the battle situation while being on guard against his surroundings, waiting for the right opportunity.
After about three minutes, the winner of the battle seemed to have been decided. Although the female ghost's red dress was in tatters, she began to chase after the man in the coat. The latter's condition seemed to be about the same as the female ghost's, but he retreated with the ability to teleport as he counterattacked, as if he was preparing to run away.
"This is my chance."
Zhou Chen, who was hiding nearby and observing them, knew that he could not wait any longer. These two monsters clearly would not reach the extent that he hoped - for both sides to suffer heavy injuries. If no external force interfered, their battle might end just like this.
He suddenly jumped out of his hiding place and used all his Eight Desolates True Energy to punch the man who had just teleported to a house more than a hundred meters away.
He used almost all of his strength in this punch. Even a battle tank would explode if it got hit by this punch.
The building and the area around it exploded like a bomb. Large amounts of bricks and concrete flew in all directions, covering the two figures that were fighting each other.
"There's no system announcement… It failed?"
There was no blood flowing in these two monsters' bodies and his vision was blocked by the dust formed by the explosion, so Zhou Chen could only infer the situation from the system.
Unfortunately, he did not hear the system's announcement. There was no feedback about him obtaining any drops, nor did he trigger the Passive Plunderer.
"Then let's add another two punches!"
Since he could not detect the situation in front of him, Zhou Chen chose to continue punching in that direction. Perhaps that guy in the coat was just short of this extra damage from being killed.
However, after these two punches, Zhou Chen still did not hear the system announcement. It only increased the dust in the air, making it harder for him to see the situation over there.
"Looks like it really failed. Let's take a look!"
In this case, Zhou Chen had two choices. He could either escape immediately or go over to check.
He chose the latter without much thought because he felt that with the Holy Light skill in his hand, even if he encountered the female ghost in a relatively good condition, he would have the ability to defend.
Soon, Zhou Chen quietly stepped into the dust-filled air and walked to the spot he had attacked.
A few steps later, before he saw anything specific, he vaguely heard a sound similar to a wolfhound chewing on bones, making him even more vigilant.
After taking a few more steps, he saw a ball of red in the dust. The chewing sound became clearer.
The curious Zhou Chen courageously continued to approach. At this moment, the dust in the air dissipated slightly, and he finally saw the scene in front of him.
The female ghost was squatting on the overcoat man's broken body that was scattered on the ground like porcelain pieces. She was using her pale claws to grab the man's head and had bitten it until only half of it was left!
"No way… it ended up benefiting you?"
Zhou Chen knew what had happened just now. His attack should have been effective. He had successfully injured the overcoat man, but the final blow was dealt by the female ghost; it was the same as helping the female ghost kill the overcoat man.
"F*ck… Holy Light!"
Zhou Chen decided that he could not let the female ghost have it easy. He immediately used the Holy Light and charged at the female ghost squatting on the ground, planning to chase it away.
However, this time, the situation changed slightly. The female ghost did not escape this time. She continued to stuff the man's corpse into her terrifying purple-black mouth. However, when Zhou Chen reached about ten meters from her, she turned to look at him.
Its strange white and red eyes flashed coldly, as if telling Zhou Chen that its next target was him.
"No, it doesn't seem to be afraid of my Holy Light anymore. Oh no…"
Zhou Chen was not afraid of the female ghost's warning, but he was now turned helpless because none of his attacks worked against her. She was no longer afraid of the Holy Light, and the fire breath was also useless.
"I have to flee!"
Realizing that the situation was not good, Zhou Chen immediately took out the hovering motorcycle from his inventory and jumped on it to escape. Since he could not interfere with the female ghost's eating, he had to make the best use of his time and run as far away from her as possible.
Therefore, under the light of the crescent moon, Zhou Chen drove the hovering motorcycle hundreds of meters in the air and away from the place at Mach speed.
After about five minutes, Zhou Chen, who was driving at supersonic speed under the protection of the ion shield around the hovering motorcycle, suddenly heard a strange sound.
He turned around and realized that a red figure had appeared outside the ion shield of the motorcycle. It was using a pale claw to grab the ion shield, making the entire shield shake.
"It can catch up to this speed?!"
Zhou Chen felt that the situation was very bad. He did not think that the female ghost had such a ridiculous flying speed. Now that she had caught up to him so quickly, he felt that this monster had evolved and was becoming more and more of a threat to him.
He immediately used Holy Light to shine at the female ghost outside the ion shield, hoping to make it retreat.
However, the truth quickly disappointed him. After the female ghost was illuminated by the Holy Light, she first retreated a few meters with a trace of fear, but very quickly, she continued to attack the ion shield.
It had already realized that Zhou Chen's Holy Light could not harm it!
"It's over… But the ion shield of the hovering motorcycle can block it. Not a bad discovery."
Zhou Chen began to control the hovering motorcycle to move in a strange way. One moment, he was moving in zigzag, the next moment, he was accelerating or decelerating. He wanted to rely on the maneuverability of the motorcycle to escape from the female ghost. At the same time, he began to think of other countermeasures.
During this process, the female ghost followed closely behind his hovering motorcycle and did not lose him. Instead, she used her pale claws to attack the ion shield of the hovering motorcycle again and again, expending the ion shield's energy.
"No, I have to slow down and maintain the shield."
Seeing that his driving skills could not shake off the female ghost, Zhou Chen reduced the speed and elevation of the hovering motorcycle to save the engine power to support the ion shield and give himself more safety time.
"I can't think of anything… The only option is to fight it. But now that it has leveled up, I would be in even more danger…"
Zhou Chen, who had lowered the hovering motorcycle to a height of half a meter from the ground and its speed to 40 mph, felt that there was nothing he could do. It seemed like he could only wait for the almost broken ion shield to disappear before fighting the other party head-on.
But at this moment, Zhou Chen sensed that something interesting had appeared near the city area he was moving in.
Through his Bloodthirst, he realized that there was a person about 300 meters to his left! A human whose characteristic was no different from that of an ordinary person!
"Why is there a living person here? Is this a monster in disguise? Forget it, let's go and screw him over!"
Zhou Chen did not believe that there were living people in this place. He felt that it might be a monster that was good at disguising itself. Therefore, he immediately drove the motorcycle to a narrow street on the left and accelerated.
He did not think too much about it. He only hoped that it was a monster that could attract the attention of the female ghost who was following him.
A few seconds later, Zhou Chen reached the location of the human he had sensed. He saw a petite young girl with short hair and wearing a shawl. The girl was standing behind a window of the third floor of an apartment building and looking out.
"Move!"
While shouting to remind the girl who truly seemed to be an ordinary person to move aside, Zhou Chen drove the hovering motorcycle into the girl's window.
Immediately, the sound of glass shattering exploded as Zhou Chen entered the building.
"Run!"
After entering, Zhou Chen realized that the ion shield was finally used up. He immediately put the hovering motorcycle in his inventory and ran towards the door. At the same time, he reminded the girl who was looking at him in surprise to start running.
'There seem to be many people living in this building, let's see who's unlucky.'
Zhou Chen did not have good intentions when he broke into this apartment building, but he had never been a benevolent man. In this crisis, he really could not care so much. He only hoped that the female ghost behind would change its target to another unlucky person.
However, when Zhou Chen had broken the closed door, a young female voice sounded from behind him, "You don't have to run. This place is safe!"
"What?" Zhou Chen stopped and turned to look at the room.
In the room, the petite girl with short hair was standing calmly under the ceiling light. She did not even look at the female ghost floating outside the broken window, as if she was not afraid of it charging in.
'The ghost doesn't dare to come in?'
When he saw the female ghost standing outside the window that he had smashed, Zhou Chen felt that things had become interesting.
Zhou Chen was puzzled. He pointed at the female ghost floating outside the window and asked the young girl in the room, "Why isn't it coming in?"
The girl's surprised expression turned to puzzlement, but she still replied, "This apartment is special.. No evil entities have ever entered here."
