Chapter 750: 750
Under the watchful glance of Wu Qi, the heavenly ghosts rushed to their prey like a gust of wind, cutting numerous large wounds on the giant beast's body with their sharp claws, fangs, and tails . It was only a matter of a few breaths before the hunters got inside the beast's belly, whose body stretched for miles, causing blood to ooze out of its mouth . Before long, two heavenly ghosts leaped out of its mouth . Apparently, they had ruined the poor fellow's entrails and killed it .
Seeing this, Wu Qi could not help but nod approvingly, even though his face was still gloomy with a bad mood . These heavenly ghosts were so much stronger than the one who appeared in Ji City years ago . The difference in their overall strength was like the difference between a baby and an adult tiger . Their speed, their strength, and their ferocity were far superior to the ones he had met . Although the giant beast had the overall strength of a Heaven Immortal, they were still able to kill it without much effort .
A few other heavenly ghosts burrowed out of their prey's body, then threw their heads back and roared with excitement before giving a curious glance at the flying ship hovering dozens of miles away . But, they just waved their claws at it, as if giving it a warning, and went on to leap onto the beast happily . After devouring some of the flesh, they started moving into the distance while dragging the beast behind them .
Wu Qi ordered the ship to quietly follow the few heavenly ghosts . At the same time, he pulled dark clouds from the distance and made them surrounded the ship using his divine sense, then filled them with restrictive spells that could block prying divine sense . Soon, a huge dark cloud was floating along behind the group of heavenly ghosts, who were unaware and walking along a river toward its upper reaches .
The beast's heavy body left a visible trace on the ground, and its blood flowed into the river in streams . The smell of fresh blood triggered a riot in the river, as large fishes and other aquatic creatures covered in hard shells began to leap out of the water . These creatures were very ferocious in appearances and terrifying in strength . Although they could not leave the water to walk on the land, they still leaped out of the water crazily, constantly letting out deafening roars at the few heavenly ghosts striding along the riverbanks .
Several hundreds of feet long monstrous fishes opened their mouths, their sharp teeth glistening in the blood-red moonlight, and then slammed their mouths shut, clashing their teeth together to produce a loud crunch . A few other fishes were shooting streams of pale yellow water from their mouths that pierced through the air and landed on the dead beast, riddling its body with large holes .
The group of heavenly ghosts did not take these big fishes and aquatic creatures seriously . They chattered and laughed, stopping now and then to swing their hips back and forth at the creatures tossing violently in the water . Wu Qi was surprised by their behavior . According to immortal cultivators, heavenly ghosts in the ghost realm were savage and unintelligent by nature, and they acted entirely on instinct . But judging by the arrogant look of these few heavenly ghosts, they were not much different from some naughty human boys . Although they were somewhat ferocious in appearance, they carried themselves in an orderly manner, unlike those witless creatures .
"The world is full of people who take false information as truth!" Wu Qi shook his head silently . It was quite possible that the ghost realm had caused great casualties to immortal cultivators long ago, so all the immortal cultivators deliberately denigrated the existence of the ghost realm . Perhaps, some heavenly ghosts were really savage monsters who only know how to kill, but there were probably other individuals with highly developed intelligence as well .
The behavior of the few heavenly ghosts had given Wu Qi hope . He wished not all of them were savage monsters, and he could find some who were intelligent and cultural, so he could find a way out of here from them .
He wondered if Dong Hai City had heard of his disappearance . 'Hope Zi Xuan can take control of the situation and doesn't try to avenge me rashly . King Zhang Qiu is a King of Great Yu, with King Bai Shan behind him . And Liu Bang, the old rascal and old goat . . . '
'How could they possibly spare Dong Hai Province when they have already joined hands to conspire against me? It's very likely that they are now coming out with plans to cause some troubles there . If Liu Bang sees Zi Xuan and decides to do something evil to her . . . '
A cruel smile emerged on Wu Qi's face as he growled through his clenched teeth, "If you lay a finger on my girl, I'll put an end to your family!"
The thoughts that ran through his mind made Wu Qi suddenly emanate a violent murderous aura, which startled Huang Liang and the others . They stood still in place, concentrated on controlling the ship . No one dared to make a sound for fear that they might offend Wu Qi, who had suddenly lost his temper, and receive a hard lesson for nothing .
With his palms clenched into fists, Wu Qi strode to a transparent crystal wall at the front of the bridge, and lightly tapped at it a few times with his fingertip . Immediately, numerous runes and dozens of triangles, squares, and other three-dimensional patterns emerged on the surface of the pale-blue crystal wall, which measured about ten feet thick and looked like a puddle of clear blue water . Then, he sent a wisp of divine sense into it . Purified and amplified by some arrays, the divine sense transformed into an invisible wave, sweeping across the land tens of thousands of miles around the ship, and recording the terrain of the region in a giant soul crystal inside the ship .
The ability to quickly scan and record the terrain of unfamiliar regions was a unique feature of Great Yu's flying ships . With just a dozen of them, the Military Court was able to obtain the detailed terrain of a vast region in a very short period of time, and provide it to the armies . Now that Wu Qi and his subordinates had been sent into the ghost realm, he had to be ready for anything . There was nothing he could do about Dong Hai Province for the time being, and the most important thing now was to bring Huang Liang and all the soldiers safely back to the Pangu Continent .
"Huang Liang, tell all our brothers that we are now in the land of death, the legendary 'Ghost Realm' .
