Chapter 954: Chapter 947: Ominous Attack

"Considering your past misdeeds, I regard your words with skepticism," Cheng Ziang said earnestly.

"What misdeeds have I done in the past?" Luo’er asked with a laugh and a cry.

"You know very well, in the few years you’ve been in Otherworld, how many girls you’ve hooked up with. The residence is already overcrowded," Cheng Ziang said, squinting his eyes.

"I did that for the headquarters, not to satisfy my own desires. You need to understand the main point here and not always think that I’m hooking up with girls just to hit on them," Luo’er explained helplessly.

"Actually, I’ve always found something very strange," Cheng Ziang said.

"What’s strange?" Luo’er asked.

"You say the Otherworld clearly discriminates against Half-elves, especially Wood Elves, so why is it that only you seem to have an unstoppable charm? Girls are constantly throwing themselves at you whether you want them to or not," Cheng Ziang shook his head and clicked his tongue.

"How should I know, not only you, but I also find it odd..." Luo’er shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Ah, Luo’er, how many more girls are there?" Fulajie’er flew in front of Cheng Ziang and asked excitedly.

"Plenty more, want to know?" Cheng Ziang looked at her and asked with a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Mhm!" Fulajie’er nodded eagerly with an expectant face.

"Enough of that, no discussing topics unrelated to our mission," Luo’er waved his hand to interrupt their conversation and started to give orders to Fulajie’er, "Fula, pay attention and see if there’s anything amiss around here."

"Are you feeling guilty, Luo’er?" Fulajie’er pouted and asked with dissatisfaction.

"That’s not the case at all, I am clear and straightforward in my actions," Luo’er shook his head and said.

"Sigh, let’s leave it at that, focusing on the main issue is more important, we can talk about this another time," Cheng Ziang smiled and looked at Luo’er.

"And don’t ever bring up such topics again," Luo’er said admonishingly, but he also knew that his words had little restrictive power.

"Back to business," Cheng Ziang coughed and then continued seriously, "Luo’er, what concept do you have of this so-called ’ghost’?"

"If it’s something like Fula, I wouldn’t be afraid. I’m just curious about how it actually kills people," Luo’er frowned and mused.

"Hey, Luo’er, I, I haven’t killed anyone, although indeed some people have died of fright because of us, but that was accidental. I just wanted them to stay away from that forest..." Fulajie’er said feeling wronged.

"I know you haven’t killed anyone, that’s why I don’t want you to get your hands stained with blood," Luo’er said with a comforting smile.

"If it’s an entity like Fula, then how does it kill people? Looking at the state of the bodies at the scene, these people probably died of Magic Power Erosion. High concentrations of magic power instantly infiltrated their bodies, bursting their blood vessels and causing organ failure... But, when we met Fula that day, she and the others were only spirits, not capable of controlling magic power. Or could it be that this thing is a more advanced being than Fula?" Cheng Ziang continued to question.

"I also find it strange. If these people died of fright, that could make sense, but they clearly died of Magic Power Erosion, which is a very peculiar point..." Luo’er nodded and also fell into deep thought.

"Fula, when you wander through the forest, do you use magic, or even that simple method of gathering magical power?" Cheng Ziang turned to Fulajie’er and asked.

"How could we possibly do that? Before we met Luo, we were living in a daze, unable to distinguish between day and night, let alone learn magic..." Fulajie’er answered honestly.

So, that means," Cheng Ziang analyzed with a frown, "Fula was initially just a spirit and lacked the ability to manipulate magic power. Now that she’s become a half-god, she has this ability. That implies, if that thing is like Fula, it must be at least a half-god level ghost."

According to the experience of the Advance Team, the biggest difference between demigods and gods is that demigods have weaknesses, while gods do not.

For a half-god like Fulajie’er, her greatest weakness is the crystal in which her soul resides. Since Fulajie’er has not yet completed the process of binding her soul with magic power, she cannot live independently in a magical environment. She can only keep her soul in the crystal, binding it to prevent it from dissipating.

Real gods, on the other hand, have no weaknesses. If one were to search for a weakness, it would be that if the magic power of Otherworld were to completely disappear, then the gods would also vanish. This is because the souls of gods are protected by magic power components. In other words, magic power sustains the lives of gods.

Of course, the Otherworld is also known as the Magic World, where magic power exists in the atmosphere just as oxygen does on Earth, and in principle, it is not supposed to completely disappear; hence gods are immortal.

"If it is a demigod we are dealing with, then that’s troublesome, isn’t it? We might not have the ability to deal with it," Luo’er said with a solemn face.

"Yes, indeed. Although we also have a half-god, Fulajie’er, after all, is not a professional mage, and there’s a chance the other party has more powerful magic than her," Cheng Ziang nodded and said.

"How about we retreat for now and let Fulajie’er observe for a while?" Luo’er asked hesitantly.

"If we pull back now, that would be..." Cheng Ziang didn’t quite agree with the idea.

"I, I can help you with the reconnaissance; you guys should retreat. For your sake, I can muster the courage," Fulajie’er chimed in as well.

"How unexpected, you were terrified at first," Cheng Ziang shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"I’m more afraid of something happening to you. If anything happens to you, what’s the point of whether I’m afraid or not?" Fulajie’er said earnestly.

"More than thirty people have died here, and who knows if the rest have died in the tomb too. It can be said that if this god truly exists, then it indeed poses a great danger..." Luo’er said.

"Having analyzed it this way, I feel we have been rash. Let’s retreat," Cheng Ziang nodded and then said to him.

"Wait!" Just as he finished speaking, Feng, who had been silent until now, suddenly stopped him, and then squinted as if feeling something.

"What’s going on?" Luo’er and Cheng Ziang looked at each other.

"It’s coming..." Fulajie’er suddenly let out a fearful cry, her voice trembling.

"Something is approaching..." Finally, Feng opened her eyes and said in a hushed voice.

"The magic power in the air is fluctuating. Fula, disappear quickly. Everyone else, don’t make any rash moves," Luo’er stretched out his hand to press down and commanded in a low voice.

"Yes, I, I’ll guard the entrance for you," Fulajie’er said, and her body dissolved instantly.

"There’s an ominous presence," Cheng Ziang pursed his lips and said.

"You feel it too?" Luo’er asked quietly.

The two exchanged glances again, then tacitly closed their mouths.

Crack!

In the silent and cold air, a faint crackling sound was heard. Cheng Ziang looked down and saw that Feng had undone the clasp of the long knife at her waist and drew it halfway, revealing the blade that glowed with a faint blue.

"Stay calm, don’t do anything rash..." Cheng Ziang grabbed her slender wrist earnestly.

"Right!" Feng turned to look at him, then nodded and continued to stare in the direction from which the disturbance was coming.

At that moment, a howling cold wind began to blow outside the silent tent, and within this howling, everyone seemed to hear some whimpers. The wind carried these sounds, making them eerily terrifying.

This frightening sound was getting closer, and everyone’s hearts rose to their throats. Cheng Ziang heard a clattering sound, looked down, and saw that Feng’s hands, holding the knife handle and the scabbard, were shaking non-stop. The blade and scabbard were colliding, creating this rhythmic noise.

"I won’t speak to you anymore, be quiet, absolutely quiet, I’ll handle this..." At that moment, Fulajie’er’s trembling voice resounded in their minds.

Although she communicated through their domain, she subconsciously lowered her voice, causing Luo’er and Cheng Ziang to tense up even more.
