Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 319 Special Spirit

Heizi's order put the high-level ghost beast leading the beast army in a difficult position.

If we gather together to cross the river, we will definitely be attacked. If we don't gather together and retreat, there are only a few retreat routes and it is difficult to choose.

In the end, the ghost beast could only lead his men and retreat from the traps.

As a result, the sharp weapon broke through the air and pierced through the ghost beast. The ground suddenly collapsed, and the sharp bamboo penetrated the ghost beast's body. The scene of blood spurting and howling was staged again.

"Treat the wounded." The retreat of the ghost beast army did not cause cheers, but there was an urgent need for medical treatment.

This battle was bound to result in a lot of casualties, and it also ended the record of only casualties and no deaths since the birth of Shang Liangshan. The reason for this is obvious.

"Swoosh, whoosh, whoosh" From time to time, dark purple rockets appeared in the sky, cutting through the night sky and shooting towards the group of ghost beasts like meteors.

Hundreds of eagles formed a team and began to chase and kill the fleeing ghost beasts.

The afterglow of the word "Om" disappeared into the sky, and the stars returned to normal, bringing this great battle to an end.

"Whoosh" the wind and clouds moved, and phantom thunderclouds descended from the sky. Under the panicked gaze of the ghost beasts, they began to clean up the battlefield and did not touch them.

"Hmm" Liu Weizi uttered a sound and slowly woke up. His temperament changed slightly, becoming a little ethereal. It seemed that he had gained a lot.

"Congratulations to Taoist Liu for making further progress." The old patriarch congratulated.

"Haha, thank you very much, brother Yi. I especially want to thank Liangshan for preaching." Liu Weizi said, standing up and bowing to Shang Liangshan.

Shang Liangshan accepted it with pleasure and smiled to Liu Weizi, "The Tao is passed on to those who are destined to be with you. Taoist Master Liu, just thank me."

Liu Weizi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and smiled helplessly: "I just thought about how to express my sincere gratitude, and you, Liangshan, sensed it."

"Who made us so close?"

"Haha, only Liangshan can say that. Other Xuanlings don't have that ability. Hey, why did the ghost beast army retreat? Why is the Eagle Guard a fire-type?"

"The ghost beast army was destroyed by the Eagle Guards." The old patriarch recounted the battle situation and left a last sentence: "Why are the Eagle Guards of the Fire Element? I am also quite curious."

Then, he and Liu Weizi looked at Shang Liangshan, who continued chanting, "This all started with a sudden thought that occurred to me."

"After transforming Yoruji and the others, I was wondering why Yingji and the others, since they were transformed by the lights of thousands of families, only have wind energy. Logically, they should have fire energy."

"So I took some time to research it and found that Ye Er and the others do have fire elements in their bodies, but they are very thin."

“So I suddenly had an idea and gave Ye Er a light from ten thousand families, letting it refine it into its own origin.”

"In the end, it was successful by accident, and the Eagle Guard now has the abilities of wind and fire."

"Oh" the old patriarch suddenly realized as a matter of course, this is in line with the style of the Shang Liangshan lineage.

Liu Weizi's reaction after hearing this was: "What a blessing."

Only fate can describe Shang Liangshan's nonsense.

"Liangshan, how many flaming arrows can the Eagle Guards fire?" the old patriarch asked out of curiosity.

Shang Liangshan made a rough estimate and said, "There are 100 fourth-level Eagle Guards and about 20 third-level Eagle Guards. The fourth-level single attack is a little weaker than the full-strength attack of a fourth-grade bow spirit warrior."

I have to mention here that for guards with excellent archery skills, the hunting team will choose the bow as a spiritual weapon.

"A third-level single-target attack is slightly stronger than a third-grade arrow attack." Shang Liangshan took a sip of tea and continued:

"The reason why the Eagle Guard was able to launch an attack close to the seventh rank just now was because there were enough rockets attacking together, causing a chain reaction."

"Oh" the old patriarch suddenly realized that this was the qualitative change caused by quantitative change.

"This is incredible. With the Eagle Guards here, we have the upper hand." Liu Weizi said as he put away the communication talisman.

"What do you mean?" asked the old patriarch.

"The elder sent me a message not long ago saying that he had made a rule with the level 8 ghost beasts that those above level 6 were not allowed to attack."

"This rule has both advantages and disadvantages. No, if we don't have the Eagle Guards to attack together, the disadvantages will definitely outweigh the advantages." The old patriarch frowned.

"Brother Yi, in the Shiwan Mountains, how many villages have the strength to resist a level 6 ghost beast charging into the village?"

“This…” The old patriarch was speechless. Yes, among the villages in the Ten Thousand Mountains, how many villages can have the ability to resist the sixth-level ghost beast.

As for the fifth-level ghost beasts, they would find it difficult to withstand the concentrated fire attack of the fourth-level. Moreover, most villages are guarded by fifth-level masters.

"Liangshan, you don't seem to be surprised at all about the rule that the elders and the eighth-level ghost beasts, and the sixth-level ghost beasts and sixth-grade masters are not allowed to take action?" Liu Weizi couldn't help asking when he saw Shang Liangshan's calm face.

"The level 6 ghost beasts did not attack the village, which means that the level 8 ghost beasts do not want the level 6 ghost beasts to participate in the battle."

"That makes sense, but I just can't understand it. Even though there are many ghost beasts, if we want to break into the village without sending out the sixth-level ghost beasts, we will have to pay a heavy price."

"Survival of the fittest." Shang Liangshan uttered these four words, but in his heart he was saying, "Sometimes war is to eliminate population."

He had this idea for only one reason: Jiuyou could not accommodate all the soul bodies from the ancient continent that it had absorbed over tens of millions of years.

Of course, this is just his guess. The specific situation is probably only known by the top powerhouses in Jiuyou.

"Master." Xiaocao, looking tired, appeared and saluted.

"How many people died?" the old patriarch asked anxiously.

"Two hundred and seventy-four people were all drawn into the Huawai Daochang by the Mountain and River Seal and transformed into spiritual believers. Elder Tu is teaching them how to condense their soul bodies."

"274 people, that's not bad, that's not bad." The old patriarch murmured.

This number of casualties is within an acceptable range.

"Wait, is it a soul-gathering body?" Liu Weizi looked at Xiaocao in surprise.

"The spiritual faith converted by the military and civilians is somewhat special."

"What's the special method?" the old patriarch asked nervously.

"They have just converted to spiritual faith and have reached the high level of the second rank. They also retain some intelligence, recognize us, and can understand simple words."

The previous letter spirit was of the first rank, dumbfounded.

“This…” The old patriarch looked at Shang Liangshan.

"Master Liu, please solve my doubts." Shang Liangshan threw the question to Liu Weizi.

Liu Taozi looked at the lazy Shang Liangshan helplessly and explained: "There are two reasons for this special situation. One is the mountain and river will reward."

"The second is that the Mountain and River Seal and the Golden Dragon took action to prevent the death of the body. Well, this description is a bit inappropriate. It should be to prevent the rewards and spirits of the fallen soldiers and civilians from returning to heaven and earth."

"Of course, there are limits to what can be done to stop it, so there are special features of the letter spirit."

"Master Liu, according to Tu Lao, if his perception is correct, the spiritual spirit transformed from the militia, after condensing its soul body, may be able to break through to the third level after practicing for ten days. What do you think of this guess?" Xiao Cao asked.

"There's no way to see it, and no way to explain it, unless I can enter the Huawai Taoist temple and see it with my own eyes." Liu Weizi shook his head. He was not a temple spirit, and it was difficult for him to make a judgment without seeing it with his own eyes.
