Yo, What a Rare Visitor
The woman dared not think any further, because the more she thought about it, the more desperate she felt.
Not to mention that Roy just mentioned another anomaly is actually outside the Underground City, which they can't catch and therefore can never escape this darkness.
If that's the case, then what's the point of everything they've done?
The Wood God simply gave up on them.
Therefore, you must not believe the lies of the person in front of you; if you do, you will fall into Roy's trap.
The woman composed herself, stopped arguing with Yu Xing, and after giving Yu Xing a deep look, thick mist suddenly emerged from her hands, instantly enveloping her entire body.
Yu Xing stood still, showing no intention of stopping her. When the fog cleared, only a strange, ashes-like mark remained; the woman was gone.
He smiled, then looked back to see that the Ghost spider had already enveloped the other four followers, making them his terrifying dinner.
With food, the spider silk spread even faster, almost like something out of a fantasy, as if it wanted to cover the entire interior of the dining room.
Four more have been secured.
He let the woman go so that she could spread the word. He believed that no matter what she said, she was actually swayed by his words. So, releasing her was like releasing a thorn in the side that would shake morale. What he told her would soon spread among the wizard's followers.
He should leave and find another place, otherwise he really will be surrounded.
Yu Xing stretched lazily, left the dining hall, and headed towards her next destination.
Three days.
Yu Xing survived for three days in the Underground City amidst constant relocation.
The wizard's followers were constantly being drained by him and the ghosts, while the number of ghosts was increasing. Now they also knew how to truly act as a group, making it more difficult to wear them down.
Yu Xing faced more threats from the ghosts. He could see that as time went on, the ghosts entering the Underground City were becoming stronger and stronger, and ghosts far more ferocious than the Big-Headed Hungry Ghost filled this space.
The stronger it is, the harder it is to control.
The more difficult it is to control, the more conflicts will arise, and not all ghosts are willing to let Yu Xing, this delicious dish, go.
Although she didn't seem to care much on the surface, Yu Xing's living space was indeed being squeezed indefinitely, becoming smaller and smaller.
During this time, he was also captured once by Yu Xing's Amber and Klaus. The two nominally high-ranking officials led more than a dozen believers and finally located Yu Xing's position, cornering him inside the building.
Yu Xing was slightly injured in that battle, and he also overused the power of the curse. In the end, apart from Amber and Klaus barely escaping, the rest of the believers were permanently annihilated in place by the curse.
The message the woman had sent out ultimately had its effect. As Amber fled, her expression was complicated, and she even asked him, "Is your other companion really not here?"
Because after searching for so long, they really couldn't find any trace of the other anomaly.
Yu Xing smiled and shrugged, "Guess?"
After that, the believers never organized another large-scale crackdown.
Perhaps they believed his words and fell into despair, thinking the mission would never be completed, or perhaps they were conserving their energy, believing that the more important thing at the moment was to defend against the indiscriminate attacks of the ghosts.
In short, Yu Xing had a strange bit of free time. When he had nothing to do, he would feed the big-headed hungry ghost. When the guy found him, he was all teary-eyed, as if the food had run away.
For three days, he did not see the Tree Witch, as if the treehouse was not in the Underground City.
On the fourth day, Yu Xing wandered back to the residential area and randomly found an empty house to rest for a while, but there was a sudden knock on the door.
He had a very strange premonition.
This sudden black fog uproar is about to end.
The hungry ghost wasn't following him all the time. At this moment, Yu Xing was the only one in the room. He rolled out of bed, walked to the door, and placed his hand on the door.
After darkness fell, just like the hot water in the reception area, the cursed power contained in the doors of the residential area also disappeared. They no longer had the function of closing automatically, but were left wide open, making people feel very unsafe.
Yu Xing, after seeing the seal on the door, Yu Xing learned how to use the power of the curse and added a restriction to himself.
Hearing the knock, he didn't even bother to ask who it was, and simply unlocked the door and opened it.
"Oh," Yu Xing raised an eyebrow when she saw the slender yet aloof figure outside the door, her tone relaxed, "A rare guest indeed. What brings you here?"
The Tree Witch looked at him expressionlessly, then looked up and walked inside.
After Yu Xing closed the door, the Tree Witch walked to the workbench inside the room, turned around, and replied, "It's time."
"Oh?" Yu Xing feigned ignorance. "What time is it? The Tree Witch is a man of deep thoughts. If you don't tell me directly, I might not be able to cooperate with you properly."
He didn't say anything, but his tone remained sarcastic.
"Take whatever you can guess as true." The Tree Witch's expression remained unchanged, perfectly calm. Leaning against her workbench, she said, "The Wizard Cult has disintegrated after this upheaval. The wizards scattered and not yet returned still need to be dealt with. Yu Fengchen has taken the Yindu Heart to the tree roots."
"He wanted the energy of this Ghost Tree, and left me here as bait," Yu Xing laughed. "I can understand why he persisted in this job long afterward."
For example, inside the tomb, Yu Fengchen was also doing something to Ghost Tree.
"No, it was my idea to keep you here to keep the believers occupied. He objected, but it won't make a difference," the Tree Witch said coldly. "You can also draw upon the curse of the Ghost Tree; I don't want you to fight him for it."
Yu Xing raised an eyebrow, but before she could speak, the Tree Witch continued, "The power of this ghost tree is too immense; of course, he can't absorb it all. You will receive a large share, but I still hope you'll lag behind him."
This means that Yu Fengchen will get the benefits first, and then give the rest to Yu Xing.
Yu Xing didn't seem angry at the Tree Witch's matter-of-fact attitude, but instead teased, "Doing this will make people mistakenly think you like him."
"Perhaps yes, perhaps no," the Tree Witch said noncommittally. "I tricked the Ghost Tree and stole some of its power. This black mist will dissipate in about 30 minutes. If you have any questions, you can ask me now."
If we're talking about questions, then there are many.
She seemed certain that Yu Xing could see through her long-held thoughts of betraying Ghost Tree, so she made no attempt to hide it in her words.
