Screech! As Gu Xi approached the Small Plain, the Ghosts under his command had already clashed with those creatures in the sky whose true forms could not be made out.
Only when Gu Xi drew close to the Small Plain did he finally see what those creatures looked like.
They were only about half a person tall, with slender arms, bat-like heads, and mosquito-like wings. They buzzed as they flew.
Whenever they were struck by a Ghost, they let out shrill squeaks.
They carried no weapons, and their legs looked weak from flying all the time. Their primary means of attack was their hands.
Sharp Bone Spikes grew from those long, slender hands. One look was enough to tell they could easily pierce an ordinary person's skull.
Unfortunately, they had run into the Ghost Squad.
With their levels not differing by much, they were simply no match for the Ghosts.
After the creatures exchanged several blows with the Ghosts in the sky, Gu Xi received the notification of their deaths.
Ghost (Summoned Creature) killed Twisted Blood Slave (Level 8). You gained 1 experience point (1 excess point stored). Summoned Creature gained 66 experience points.
Seeing that message, Gu Xi finally relaxed a little. The enemy was somewhat stronger, but not absurdly powerful.
Their numbers did not seem too high either. His subordinates could hold them off.
It seemed Howling Castle was not such a difficult place to deal with. If he truly wanted to fight, charging in now would not be a problem.
But Gu Xi immediately realized something was wrong.
"Blood slaves?"
Were Vampires behind Howling Castle? Gu Xi's heart stirred. That would be perfect.
Among Gu Xi's subordinates, Vampires were actually the biggest concern.
