Chapter 330: The Grave Mound

Chapter 330: Chapter 330: The Grave Mound

Shi Hao rolled over and sat on the Dark Patterned Leopard, then pointed forward, and the ferocious beast immediately sprang into action, swiftly moving forward.

So fast!

Ferocious beasts don’t practice movement techniques, but their speed can still be faster than most martial artists of the same rank—that’s natural talent.

"Let me give you a name, Dark Patterned Leopard, Dark Patterned Leopard, hmm, Xiao An sounds good."

Riding atop the three-meter-high Dark Patterned Leopard, Shi Hao looked quite impressive. But if he entered the forest, it would be problematic as such height would definitely cause him to bump into branches.

Luckily, this was a canyon, not exactly flat but the surrounding plants were primarily grasses and vines along with a few low bushes, so it didn’t cause Shi Hao to bump into them frequently.

Under the lightning-fast speed of the Dark Patterned Leopard, Shi Hao quickly reached the latter part of the canyon.

Hmm?

Shi Hao noticed that the terrain here had clearly changed.

The previous section of the canyon was covered with rocks, and the elevation was uneven, but now, it resembled a plain, mainly muddy with few rocks, looking scorched and pitch-black.

The Dark Patterned Leopard stopped and growled lowly, clearly apprehensive.

"Eh?"

"Judging from the environment, such a drastic drop shouldn’t be possible, so this must be a sudden change in the terrain, which is also why Xiao An became so apprehensive," Shi Hao said.

"Xiao An, let’s go."

Shi Hao gently patted the Dark Patterned Leopard, and the beast started moving again towards the deeper part of the canyon.

Before long, he saw several mounds in front of him!

Now, Shi Hao was certain; this area had not existed before and had suddenly emerged just now.

So, where was this area before?

Was it separated by a Formation, hence invisible to commoners?

Shi Hao had not come here before, so he could not judge.

The Dark Patterned Leopard became even more agitated, its front paws continuously clawing at the ground, glaring ahead as if ready to pounce at any moment.

Shi Hao leaped down and then moved forward.

However, after just a few steps, he felt his clothes tighten—it turned out to be the Dark Patterned Leopard biting them.

"What’s the matter, you’re still not confident about me going over there?" Shi Hao said with a smile, "Don’t worry, I’m aware!"

He patted the Dark Patterned Leopard’s head, prompting it to release its grip, then he continued forward.

The Dark Patterned Leopard hesitated for a moment but still began to move, closely following Shi Hao.

Closer, closer, closer, Shi Hao scanned around and saw although there were many mounds, not a single one had a tombstone. It seemed like there had been a natural disaster or a famine, with too many dead hastily buried wherever there was space.

But still, looking around, the number of mounds was easily in the tens of thousands. To say these were the graves of disaster victims was too unrealistic.

Strange.

Shi Hao took a few more steps forward, and behind him, the Dark Patterned Leopard’s fur bristled, with continuous growls showing intense hostility.

Bang!

A hand suddenly protruded from one of the mounds. One could see its skin had all decayed, leaving only chilling white bones mixed with soil.

As the hand reached out a bit further, it was clear—to Shi Hao’s astonishment—it wore armor.

Boom, a loud noise. An "entity" fully clad in armor emerged from the mound, with a sword on its hip and under the helmet, a face showed nothing but white bones, but in the eye sockets flickered green flames.

For heaven’s sake!

Shi Hao frowned. Had he encountered the Corpse Ghost Path again?

Previously, in Gulang City, he had encountered the former prince Mo Du, reborn as a Corpse Ghost, who wanted to consume the flesh and blood of all living beings. But the enemy had miscalculated everyone’s strength, and only with Chen Ling’s rescue had they escaped.

Now, another Corpse Ghost has appeared here?

What exactly is this existence, and why is there no clue in Yuan Chengmie’s memories?

This Corpse Ghost seemed to have just awakened, appeared somewhat bewildered, stared blankly for a while, and then fixed its gaze on Shi Hao and the Dark Patterned Leopard. Immediately, the Green Fire blazed fiercely, as if driven by intense hunger.

The Dark Patterned Leopard also growled, as if facing a formidable enemy.

The dead stood on the opposite side of the living, an absolute mortal enemy, with no possibility of coexistence.

Shi Hao laughed heartily and took the initiative to attack.

His eyes widened and he shot out two beams of light, hitting right in the eye sockets of the Corpse Ghost.

Instantly, the Corpse Ghost let out a scream, the Green Fire flickered violently, nearly extinguishing.

Humph, satisfied with looking at me as if I were food?

Being shot like that, the Corpse Ghost seemed greatly weakened and didn’t even care about "eating" anymore. It dove back into the mound as if hiding from Shi Hao.

"Hey, why run?" Shi Hao dashed forward in one leap, reached out with his right hand, and caught the ankle of the Corpse Ghost before it could withdraw completely, "Come out!"

He pulled hard, while the Corpse Ghost seemed like a young girl harassed by a ruffian, desperately clinging to the soil inside the mound, refusing to come out at all costs.

However, how could it contend with Shi Hao?

With a thud, it was pulled out with its "roots."

Seeing this, even the Dark Patterned Leopard was stunned.

Such a master was simply too fierce.

Phew!

The Corpse Ghost, knowing it could not hide again, faced away from Shi Hao, but its head turned a full one hundred eighty degrees and spat out a stream of Green Fire toward him.

This was Ghost Fire, clearly flames yet eerily cold, even colder than ice!

If a living person were burned by it, their life force would be rapidly drained, reducing their lifespan at best, and at worst, they would perish instantly.

Shi Hao smiled faintly, and boom, his entire being radiated an endless glow, like a Saint.

Momma mia, blinding even the eyes of the ghosts!

If that Corpse Ghost could speak, it would surely curse Shi Hao extensively, as the Light Element was too deadly for them, the thing they feared the most.

Now, with Shi Hao emitting such grandiose light, it was as if he had thrown it beside the Sun. How could the damage not be substantial?

With a bang, the Corpse Ghost’s head exploded, and it instantly collapsed.

Oh, so fragile?

Shi Hao couldn’t help sighing, he hadn’t even started in earnest yet.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Just then, white skeletal hands emerged from the nearby mounds, and Corpse Ghosts surfaced one after another, all clad in armor, as if they had been warriors in life, and even in death as Corpse Ghosts, they were still ready to battle.

Shi Hao made no pleasantries, as Corpse Ghosts were completely opposed to living beings, no mercy was necessary.

His whole body radiated light, and he walked with large strides. Bathed in the Light Element, each Corpse Ghost had just surfaced only to have its Ghost Fire snuffed out, collapsing immediately.

But as Shi Hao proceeded, newly emerged Corpse Ghosts withstood the Light Element, only showing signs of pain and turning their heads away without collapsing.

Other Shore Realm Corpse Ghosts!

Hiss!

Shi Hao took a sharp breath, seeing ahead, more mounds broke open, birthing Corpse Ghosts one after another.

At least they were from the Other Shore Realm!
