Yet it was precisely because of this that Liu Hun’s actions left them all the more baffled. After all, what he did was akin to charging in while risking his own life, without a care for his safety.
No matter how Old Ghost and the Fat Man viewed this situation, at this mont, all that existed in Liu Hun’s eyes were these Heroic Spirits.
"Look quickly, isn’t there a very strange Heroic Spirit right at the center of these Heroic Spirits?" Just as Old Ghost was growing anxious, the Fat Man suddenly pointed to a Heroic Spirit among the group and said, sowhat shocked.
Upon hearing this, everyone present followed his gaze, and indeed, at the very center of these Heroic Spirits, surrounded by all the others, was a Heroic Spirit, whose stature and physique were significantly larger than the others.
This Heroic Spirit stood out like a crane among chickens, and most crucially, though its body hovered in the air, it had four limbs, and its features were clearly visible. Its pair of ghostly blue eyes glowed with a bizarre light, as if it were observing the scene.
"The Heroic Spirit King!" Old Ghost exclaid as he looked at this Heroic Spirit, his face full of shock, his voice trembling as he spoke.
"The Heroic Spirit King? What is this? Is this guy the leader of these Heroic Spirits?" The Fat Man asked Old Ghost, full of puzzlent.
In response, Old Ghost rely nodded, taking a deep breath and said with a bitter smile, "Yes, the Heroic Spirit King is indeed the king among Heroic Spirits. It’s said that the Heroic Spirit King cos and goes like the wind, moves freely, and retains all its wisdom and mories from its forr life, its strength truly terrifying. Anyone who encounters the Heroic Spirit King, without exception, cannot survive."
"If it’s truly that terrifying, then why are we still standing here? Let’s run!" The Fat Man beca sowhat anxious upon hearing Old Ghost’s words.
At this ti, though the Fat Man knew Liu Hun was still battling among the Heroic Spirits, this was rely Liu Hun acting crazy on his own. They didn’t want to go crazy alongside him, lest they lose their own lives here.
"We can’t run. If it were so easy, the legends wouldn’t be so terrifying." Old Ghost laughed lightly, then turned to look at the Fat Man and others, a trace of disdain in his eyes.
"What do you an?" The Fat Man’s expression changed slightly. At a ti like this, there was no reason for Old Ghost to lie, he had no need to.
"The legend says that if a living person encounters so Heroic Spirits, they might still escape with their lives. But if a Heroic Spirit King is born among these Heroic Spirits, then no one can escape from their clutches. Because the Heroic Spirit King will leave a mark on them, and with this mark, no matter how far they run to the ends of the earth, they will be found and devoured. This is the legend of the Heroic Spirit King." Old Ghost said calmly, looking at the Fat Man and others.
"So according to what you’re saying, wherever we go next, we’re dood?" The Fat Man asked through clenched teeth, sowhat unwilling to believe the legend, after all, legends remained just legends unless seen with one’s own eyes.
"Yes, even if we leave this damned place, they can still appear by our side because these things have no form; and haven’t you noticed anything different about your bodies until now?" Old Ghost continued.
"What’s different about them?" The Fat Man asked back, a bit displeased with Old Ghost. To him, it seed Old Ghost was purely trying to persuade them, although he didn’t know Old Ghost’s purpose in doing so.
"Wait, could it be... Is it this?" As the Fat Man’s words fell, a strong God Realm practitioner behind him suddenly changed his expression. He rolled up his sleeve to reveal a green Ghost Fire mark that had appeared unknowingly on his wrist, his face fully alard.
Seeing the Ghost Fire mark on the God Realm practitioner’s wrist, the others also changed expressions, quickly lifting their sleeves. Without exception, a green Ghost Fire mark was visible on everyone’s wrist, even Old Ghost was no exception.
"How could this be..." The Fat Man mumbled incredulously; he couldn’t understand why things had co to this. They hadn’t touched a single Heroic Spirit before, yet now this Ghost Fire mark was clearly visible on their wrists, so evidently Old Ghost’s words were likely true.
If this were true, then even if they escaped this place, they could not escape the Heroic Spirits’ assaults later, as these formless Heroic Spirits could appear anyti to slay them, and they couldn’t evade it.
"This is the mark left on us by the Heroic Spirit King. Perhaps the reason the boss is doing this is to slay the Heroic Spirit King. Only then can we all leave this accursed place alive. Otherwise, there’s no way we can escape." Old Ghost looked towards Liu Hun, who was still facing the attacking Heroic Spirits, a bitter look on his face.
In this mont, Old Ghost understood that everything Liu Hun did was to save them, and considering that the Heroic Spirits seed ineffective against him, Liu Hun might not have the mark on his wrist.
"What do we do now? We can’t just rush in to help, can we? After all, Liu Hun has such capability, but we don’t. If we are touched by these Heroic Spirits, it’s over for us, let alone killing the Heroic Spirits and the Heroic Spirit King." A God Realm elder frowned and said seriously to Old Ghost.
He was speaking the truth, after all, they couldn’t help Liu Hun even if they rushed in now.
"So now, all we can do is pray for the boss, otherwise if the boss dies, we’d die even faster afterward." Old Ghost shook his head, not intending to say more.
He had said what needed to be said. Neither he nor the Fat Man and others could do anything now. Charging in at this ti couldn’t help Liu Hun and would only lead to suicide. Old Ghost believed this result wasn’t one Liu Hun wanted to see.
Old Ghost and their guesses were correct; Liu Hun went back in to slay the Heroic Spirit King, but aside from what Old Ghost said, there was sothing more important—the Heroic Spirit King in the Heroic Spirit crowd had a Jade Pendant at its waist, which Liu Hun had once seen on Long Bing’er’s neck, yet now it was on the Heroic Spirit King’s waist, indicating that Long Bing’er must have encountered the Heroic Spirit King after entering this place.
Since entering this place, Liu Hun had no idea about Long Bing’er’s whereabouts. It was a vast place, and Liu Hun didn’t even know if there was an end. Continuing to search like this was akin to finding a needle in a haystack in a vast sea.
Now, having finally found a clue about Long Bing’er, Liu Hun was naturally unwilling to give up easily. Even though with Long Bing’er’s strength, an encounter with the Heroic Spirit King would only end in death, Liu Hun was still without hesitation, willing to try for even a sliver of hope.
At this mont, facing the endless Heroic Spirits around him, Liu Hun had nearly killed to the point of weariness, yet he remained without hesitation, continuing to massacre these Heroic Spirits as he moved step by step toward the Heroic Spirit King.
After about half an hour, Liu Hun finally arrived in front of the Heroic Spirit King. However, just as he intended to continue slaughtering the surrounding Heroic Spirits, suddenly, all the Heroic Spirits retreated, leaving a large open space in the center.
