Chapter 704: White Corpse Ghost King

Chapter 704: Chapter 704: White Corpse Ghost King

Karon chuckled. "It would be nice if we only ran into cannon fodder like this! My old bones can’t take much excitement."

Danny suggested, "Captain, after this mission is over, what do you say we go to Purple Rose City’s Flower Street to unwind? Last time we were near Purple Rose City, I heard a few Elves had arrived on Flower Street."

"Elves!! Nice!"

Karon’s eyes lit up, flashing with excitement.

Purple Rose City’s Flower Street was one of the most famous red-light districts in the Gulondo World. Even so, pure-blooded Elves were an extremely rare sight there.

The Elves of the Gulondo World worshipped the Moon God!

The Moon God was a powerful Divine Spirit who had survived two Great God-Demon Wars without perishing and was one of the Five Great Gods of the Gulondo World. The Elf Race was also one of the most powerful races in the Gulondo World, with experts as numerous as the clouds.

For a red-light district like Flower Street to get its hands on a few pure-blooded Elves required paying a hefty price. Those few pure-blooded Elves couldn’t possibly stay on Purple Rose City’s Flower Street forever.

Xie’en’s eyes also lit up, flashing with excitement.

Jessica looked disgusted. "A bunch of perverts!"

"On alert!! Corpse Ghosts! There are Corpse Ghosts!!"

"What Corpse Ghosts?"

"Impossible, how could Corpse Ghosts appear?"

"Could it be... that thing is here?"

Panicked voices rose one after another, and a wave of Fear suddenly washed over the entire convoy.

Karon’s expression grew wary. As captain of the convoy’s guards, he quickly issued a series of commands that stabilized the entire caravan.

Shu Feng came to Jessica’s side and asked with some curiosity, "That thing... could it be the legendary White Corpse Ghost King?"

Although Jessica had a bit of a temper, she was, on the whole, a good person. She was willing to answer Shu Feng’s various questions.

"The appearance of Corpse Ghosts is very likely a precursor to the arrival of the White Corpse Ghost King. The White Corpse Ghost King is the most terrifying Demon in this region! Ten years ago, the Spirit Saint Alocha encountered the White Corpse Ghost King and was killed by it instantly. Of that merchant caravan of over three thousand people, only nine survived."

"Every time the White Corpse Ghost King is encountered, countless people perish, and only nine ever make it back alive! The nine weakest ones!"

Jessica said slowly, her face filled with dread.

Spirit Saint Alocha was one of the top Spirit Saints in the Brentania Republic, yet he was utterly crushed before the White Corpse Ghost King. If Jessica’s caravan were to encounter the White Corpse Ghost King, they would also face certain death, with only nine people able to survive.

A dozen breaths later, Corpse Ghosts began to appear. They had pale faces, tattered bodies, crimson eyes, and hailed from a variety of different races.

The moment the Corpse Ghosts’ crimson eyes locked onto the convoy, a greedy and ferocious light filled them. They broke into a mad dash, speeding toward the caravan.

The wagons of the caravan immediately formed a defensive circle.

Spiritual Light Beams shot out from the caravan, blasting the Corpse Ghosts.

Under the dense barrage of beams, the heads of the ferocious Corpse Ghosts were blown apart one after another.

In this kind of large-scale battle, Spiritual Spear Masters clearly had the upper hand. The savage Corpse Ghosts were blasted to pieces before they could even get close enough to unleash their terrifying Power.

Before long, a five-meter-tall Giant Corpse Ghost appeared, charging toward the caravan. It looked like a giant, fat man, with a protruding belly, crimson eyes, and a full head of golden hair.

The Giant Corpse Ghost’s body was enormous, yet its speed was terrifying. The beams firing from the caravan only struck its Residual Shadow, passing harmlessly through.

"Tier Five Slowdown Technique!!"

Jessica chanted an incantation, pointing her Magic Staff.

A hazy gray light enveloped the Giant Corpse Ghost.

The Giant Corpse Ghost’s body trembled slightly, and its speed suddenly slowed.

The beams blasting from the caravan continuously struck the Giant Corpse Ghost, punching finger-sized bloody holes into its body.

The muscles on the Giant Corpse Ghost’s body squirmed, and one by one, the Spiritual Power Bullets were squeezed out. The wounds they had created were healing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"Explode!"

Karon’s gaze was ice-cold. He took out a Tier Five Spiritual Spear and fired.

A black beam of light struck the Giant Corpse Ghost’s head and exploded, blasting a terrifyingly large hole in its skull.

"Tier Five Great Flame Serpent!!"

Danny chanted an incantation and pointed his Magic Staff.

An immense amount of fire elementals converged in the void, and a twenty-meter-long Great Flame Serpent materialized. It opened its massive jaws and viciously swallowed the Giant Corpse Ghost whole.

The Giant Corpse Ghost let out a bloodcurdling scream as its whole body burned. Its fat rendered into oil that dripped into the Flame, making a SIZZLING sound and releasing clouds of black smoke.

"Demon-Breaking Strike!!"

Xie’en’s gaze was cold. He drew the string of a black Magic Bow and fired.

A black arrow of light shot like a meteor into the Giant Corpse Ghost’s head and instantly detonated, blasting another large hole in its skull.

Karon and Xie’en, the two powerful experts, joined forces. It took three consecutive attacks before they finally blew the Giant Corpse Ghost’s head apart.

"Is it over?"

As the Giant Corpse Ghost’s head exploded, everyone watched the dwindling number of regular Corpse Ghosts, and a sliver of hope rose in their hearts.

The Erosion Realm was crawling with all sorts of terrifying monsters, and Corpse Ghosts were just one of them. Encountering Corpse Ghosts in the Erosion Realm was a common occurrence.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble with immense, rhythmic tremors. In the distance, a fifty-meter-tall figure approached. It was the White Corpse Ghost King. Its body was entirely white, as if covered in a layer of muscular armor. It had long white hair, crimson pupils, a mouth full of jagged teeth, and was surrounded by clusters of transparent Resentful Spirits.

Flanking the White Corpse Ghost King were over a hundred five-meter-tall Giant Corpse Ghosts and tens of thousands more Corpse Ghosts from every race, a dense, terrifying horde. It was a true night march of Ten Thousand Ghosts.

"The White Corpse Ghost King!! It’s over!! That’s the White Corpse Ghost King!! We’re all going to die!!"

The moment Jessica saw the White Corpse Ghost King, her whole body began to tremble, her eyes flashing with Fear.

"The White Corpse Ghost King!! How can this be!?"

When Karon saw the White Corpse Ghost King walking among its legion of ghosts, his eyes also flashed with Despair. The mere sight of the White Corpse Ghost King paralyzed him with Fear, rendering him almost unable to move, let alone even think of attacking such a terrifying being.

Fear flashed in the eyes of every one of the convoy’s two hundred-plus Warriors. They were frozen in place, unable to even think of escaping.
