"The rule of the third-stage Ghost Youth is that it cannot hear sounds. Beyond that, there is also a fourth stage."
Wang Xiaoqiang had barely appeared when Wang Xiaoming fired off the discoveries he had made during this period:
"The rules governing the fourth-stage derivatives have not been figured out yet. Their evolution method is to eat ghosts or Ghost Controllers."
Wang Xiaoqiang pointed at the four ghosts ahead that looked rather unusual.
"Strictly speaking, they are no longer mere derivatives. After eating Ghost Controllers, they controlled the ghosts inside those Ghost Controllers."
This method did not integrate ghosts into themselves as Jigsaw pieces, but it allowed for an extremely universal form of control.
In theory, any ghost that could be controlled by a person could also be controlled by the Starving Ghost by having its derivatives devour that Ghost Controller. But that was only in theory.
Many Ghost Controllers, even anomalies, no longer existed in a form that could be captured physically. Even if they were suppressed, the Starving Ghost's derivatives would have nothing to bite into.
After hearing Wang Xiaoming's words, Wang Xiaoqiang nodded with a frown. He reached out and grabbed, and a hazy black Ghost Domain unfurled. Ghost hands extended from its depths, seizing at the mass of ghosts in every direction.
The Ghost Slaves were the easiest to deal with. They were merely corpses driven by residual supernatural power, and the instant a ghost hand touched them, they reverted to corpses and collapsed.
The Starving Ghost's derivatives were slightly tougher. From Ghost Infants to Ghost Youths, the number of ghost hands needed to suppress and scatter them increased in turn.
The fourth-stage derivatives that had formed after devouring Ghost Controllers were the most troublesome, because they were already genuine ghosts.
