Chapter 790: The Fierce Ghosts World and the Rakshasa World

The Fierce Ghosts Return world.

Of all the monsters, players were most afraid of encountering ghosts. Ordinary turrets generally could not hit them, and there were relatively few skills that could counter their kind. As a result, progress in exploring Fierce Ghosts Return had always been slow, since few people went there.

This time, the only ones in the Fierce Ghosts world were Tong Qi, Senior Sister Red Butterfly, and Xu Ruyan.

The main map of the Fierce Ghosts world was a small town. Its era was very much like ancient China, except that bandits ran rampant, and there were demons, ghosts, evil cultivators, and sorcerers. It was just like the final years of a dynasty.

The three women entered the Fierce Ghosts Return world and randomly landed at a starting location.

After exploring for a while, they settled in a private residence.

The oil lamp crackled, lighting up the small bedroom. Tong Qi sat beside a table with uneven legs, a stack of documents spread out before her.

Among them were maps, as well as information gathered by the Neighborhood Committee.

“In the thirty-eighth year of the Great Yan dynasty, a Fire Meteor fell from the sky. After that, Blood Mist began appearing throughout the Great Yan dynasty... It’s now the forty-fifth year of Great Yan. The place I’m staying is called Ping’an Town, and Blood Mist has already surrounded it. For ordinary people, going outside is a death sentence.” Tong Qi murmured softly.

The room was empty. It was as if she were speaking to a ghost, or simply talking to herself.

“The Ghost Qi here is very dense!”

“Ordinary people... are few and far between. At any rate, I haven’t seen a single one!”

“The intelligence says there are many ghosts here. That’s just a false report caused by inadequate Detection Abilities. How is this place a peaceful town? It’s clearly a City of the Wrongfully Dead!”

“Me?”

“Of course I can tell the difference.”

“The Yin Energy here is so dense... I feel like this is where I belong, as if I’ve returned to a long-lost

</path> home. It isn’t warm, but it feels familiar!”

“The map of the Fierce Ghosts world doesn’t look very big. There’s only one town, and only one Mythical mission. But that’s just for now. Maybe we can go beyond Ping’an Town to Anshun City. Then the Mission Hall will issue new Mythical missions.”

“A few months ago, Ping’an Town was still in contact with Anshun City. There must be something going on there...”

Tong Qi muttered to herself for a while, then suddenly fell silent.

Just then, someone knocked at the door.

“Come in.” Tong Qi’s eyes, cold as winter stars, turned toward the door.

After leaving Demon King Castle, her adorable face had gradually lost all expression. A chill seemed to emanate from deep within her, making her colder than Cao Yaxuan.

After all, she dealt with ghosts every day.

Besides, she had relied on her grandmother for as long as she could remember, and had felt more coldness than warmth in her life.

“My lady... The Huang family’s birthday banquet has begun.” An old man entered the room. His fingers, still smeared with dirt, rubbed against his coarse hemp clothes as he stood there nervously.

All the supplies in Ping’an Town were in the hands of the Huang family, the Richest Man.

The Huang family held a birthday banquet once a week, and everyone in town had to attend.

This was the only night the residents of the town were allowed to eat. The rest of the time, they had to go hungry.

And attendance was compulsory. Anyone who failed to show up would be taken away by the local constables.

“Fine.” Tong Qi got up and headed to the banquet.

When he saw Tong Qi coming, the old man hurriedly stepped aside. As she passed him, his eyes held fear, reverence, and malice.

In the end, malice overwhelmed everything else. He reached out toward Tong Qi, tiny blue veins twisting across his palm, making it look hideous and terrifying.

Just as he was about to touch Tong Qi, a pale figure appeared out of nowhere in front of him.

It was a woman who looked as if she were pieced together from countless mirrors. She was terrifying enough to scare someone to death on the spot.

The moment the old man’s hand touched the woman’s body, he was swallowed up by her, as if he had entered another world.

The Mirror Ghost had once been enslaved by White Crow. Later, she survived a blow from Xu Lang, so Xu Lang gave her to Tong Qi.

“Tong Qi, I think you should learn some social skills.”

“Xu Lang is incredibly popular with women. You’re just as popular with ghosts.”

“I bet if you said a word, that old ghost would tell you everything.”

After Tong Qi left the room, she heard Xu Ruyan’s voice.

“I’m not very good at preaching,” Tong Qi replied.

“You could find yourself a chief protector, then settle down and be a saintess. I think the story of the White Lotus descending into the world to save the suffering would suit you perfectly!” Xu Ruyan suggested.

“I feel like, rather than preaching, I’d rather eat all the ghosts here!” Tong Qi said, startlingly blunt. Hunger gleamed in her eyes. “If I could devour this whole town... I think I’d become the person I’ve always wanted to be!”

Xu Ruyan fell silent.

Ghosts had an extremely strong sense of hierarchy. Higher-ranking ghosts could crush those beneath them, and could drain their Ghost Qi whenever they wanted.

Tong Qi wasn’t a ghost, but after advancing in the Ghost Controller Sequence, she could use her Ghost Pets’ skills.

That was practically the same thing!

Ghosts could raise special attributes like Yin Energy, and also boost their Spirit across the board. They were excellent supplements.

“Just don’t make too much of a scene. We have to go back and sleep on time,” Xu Ruyan reminded her at last.

Players could “return to town” at any time.

The only requirements were that they not be in combat and that their condition be stable. The next time they entered that Exploration Mode, they would appear at the same location.

“Fine, I know...” Tong Qi began, but her voice abruptly stopped and her pupils contracted.

A group of players had surrounded the entrance.

Xu Lang, Cao Yaxuan, Wu Huihui, Zheng Kai, and the others filed into the courtyard, all wearing smiles that sent chills down the spine.

“This is interesting. Is this a ‘return from the dead’? But Xu Lang isn’t dead yet!” Senior Sister Red Butterfly appeared beside Tong Qi. Her smile was savage, and the malice in her eyes was utterly distinctive, like black flames burning in the night.

Xu Lang, Cao Yaxuan, Wu Huihui, Zheng Kai, and the others felt a chill in their hearts. Their steps slowed slightly as they entered.

Outside, shadows shifted, and more people kept drawing closer.

...

The women of Demon King Castle were scattered across the Zombie world, the Fierce Ghosts world, the Day and Night world, and the Rakshasa world. Of these, the Rakshasa world was the most mysterious.

Before Ayiguli’s large group entered the Rakshasa world, they used a bound entry ticket, so everyone appeared together.

Some of them had already been to the Rakshasa world before.

After all, this was the native world of the Rakshasa race players.

This world was extremely dangerous. Players entered in the middle of a vast desert, and many were swallowed by the sands as they walked, unable even to use the return-to-town function.

The group included no shortage of capable people. They soon found some ruins and settled down temporarily.

The presence of ruins meant people had lived there before, and at the very least, the ground was stable and would not suddenly collapse.

However, they had not been settled for long when a storm arrived.

The large group was scattered at once. Ayiguli, the other women, and Gu Yan, their Floor Leader, stayed together, but some of the Rakshasa players had genuinely gone missing.
