How Dare You Be So Tough

"I want to know, those real living people, not those wandering ghosts, and not people like you, do they have an organization, do they stay somewhere?"

He asked.

"Yes, yes. A few days ago, a group of practitioners from the outside world were sent here. Among them was a young girl. She seemed to have gathered many people together and resisted the siege of those resentful ghosts!"

The hunter hurried to answer despite the severe pain, fearing that if he answered too slowly, he would be tortured further.

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng's eyes lit up.

really!

This sounds like Bai Fei'er!

As far as Gu Heng knows, Bai Feier has the courage to make decisions and handle situations. After all, she is the chief sister of the Wanjian Immortal Sect. She has such a big sect backing her up. Plus, she herself is also very outstanding. She can make many people listen to her with just a wave of her hand.

Very good, Bai Fei'er is still safe.

But nothing has happened yet. It is hard to say whether they can withstand the spiritual pollution of this place and the overwhelming attacks of ghosts for a long time...

Being able to withstand stress is also a skill.

"Then the second question is, where are all those humans?"

"Over at Mingyuan Mountain!"

The hunter pointed in a direction, and Gu Heng took a look and had an idea in his mind.

"The third question is, you don't look like an ordinary ghost, at least not like those no good lonely ghosts. Who are you and what do you do?"

Gu Heng looked at the chain and the red lantern beside the hunter.

Especially that red lantern, with many tadpole-like light spots floating inside, he felt something was wrong when he looked at it.

"I am a hunter under the Lord of the Dead Souls. I am responsible for harvesting the resentful souls and evil ghosts wandering in this area, and then refining them into pure soul essence!"

"Then what?"

"Then...provide the soul essence to Lord Witch King so that it can recover its strength as soon as possible."

"So are you a human or a ghost?" Gu Heng asked.

"This, perhaps, can be said to be half human and half ghost. After all, the Lord Witch King came from the underworld. I have been blessed with the power of the Lord Witch King, so perhaps I am not a human anymore..."

The hunting envoy tells everything he knows.

In fact, he didn't know much. After all, he was just a small fry, and these "duties" were the only things he knew.

More than that, it is not something he can understand or touch.

"One last question. Which direction can we take to leave this forbidden area of ​​dead souls?"

This is actually what Gu Heng wants to know most.

If you don't find the right direction, then there is no point in keeping going and it is just a waste of time.

He came to Xiaoxuantian Realm to see what was different about this world, not to waste time in such a filthy place.

"…Sir, you can't leave here."

Sudden.

The hunter's eyes turned helpless.

"Why?"

"Because those high-ranking guys who sealed the Witch King here never wanted you to leave alive!"

"You were sent here as food for the Lord Witch King. The entire forbidden area of ​​dead souls is covered by a strict sealing formation. If you want to enter and leave at will, you must have the strength of an immortal master!""But you... were sent here from Xuantian Realm, right?" The hunter laughed. "The 'food' that has been sent here recently is not even up to the Immortal Level!"

Gu Heng raised his eyebrows.

Damn it, this guy is right.

Although his strength has been increasing recently, or he has always been strong but he just doesn't know it - but no matter what the situation is, Gu Heng has a clear self-awareness.

The immortal level is still very far away from him.

It is not easy to become an immortal, otherwise this would not have become a "legend" in the Xuantian Realm.

Furthermore.

The system is not a charitable person. Allowing him to practice is a blessing from heaven. Gu Heng doesn't even dare to think that he can reach the sky in one step.

"Oh, I'm right. If you really have the strength of an immortal, then why would you be thrown here and used as cannon fodder to be fed to the Lord Witch King?"

Seeing that Gu Heng didn't say anything, the hunter's tone suddenly became arrogant and domineering, as if he had seen through some truth.

"So, I advise you not to struggle. Even if the lamp in your hand can kill the vengeful ghosts and deplete the power of the Witch King, it cannot save you from your inevitable death!"

"Lord Witch King, I can easily crush the broken lamp in your hand!"

After hearing this.

Gu Heng's expression was faintly tinged with anger.

It would be strange if I wasn't angry when being mocked by such a half-human, half-ghost guy.

Who would understand? He just wanted to get on board. Who would have thought that the "experience" those people talked about was totally fake. We were all food, like being poured into a trough, waiting to be eaten by pigs.

Of course, Gu Heng was not worried.

The so-called "sealing array" is totally useless. He can just teleport back to his warm home in the deserted city where little dragons will serve him and peel fruit!

The system's priority is much higher!

This is also the fundamental reason why he dared to stay in this place calmly.

He could run whenever he wanted, but he didn't want to run by himself. At least he wanted to take Bai Fei'er with him. However, the teleportation function could only be used by himself, and he couldn't take others with him. This made him feel troublesome.

"...You don't look afraid at all?"

The hunter's expression changed slightly when he saw how calm Gu Heng was.

"Afraid? Why should I be afraid? I can just walk away right now. Your Lord Wizard King can't handle me at all. But you won't believe me even if I tell you."

"Okay, I don't have anything else to ask."

Gu Heng silently increased the light intensity of the Honghuang Soul Lamp.

Then, the hunter let out an even more violent scream, and his whole body began to burn.

"Stop it, stop it now!"

"Why did you break your promise?!"

The hunter's voice was full of wailing and pain.

Gu Heng ignored it.

"Sometimes I just can't understand people like you. Your life is in my hands, but you are not humble at all and you are tough with me. What are you thinking?"

"Do you really think I appreciate your hard bones?"

"The hard bones are burned."
