The cold wind howled in the Hundred Ghost Forest, dark and sunless.
In an abandoned small farm,
"Finally found it. It seems the information was correct." After rummaging for a while, Shi Feng found a bronze key from a wooden barrel.
The key to the back door of the secret passage, which could open the iron door leading to the secret passage of Hundred Ghost Town.
Now that an assassin was lurking, Shi Feng was worried that something might go wrong at a critical moment, so he gave up entering Hundred Ghost Town through the main gate. With the key, he could enter through the secret passage, though it would be more troublesome.
Legend had it that the entire Hundred Ghost Forest was cursed by a powerful dark warlock, causing all the creatures in the forest to turn into ghosts overnight, suffering endlessly and wandering in a daze. These ghosts harbored an intense hatred for the living. As soon as one approached Hundred Ghost Town, they were bound to be attacked and devoured by the countless evil ghosts in the town.
The secret passage would lead directly to the center of Hundred Ghost Town. Although Jue Tian was very strong, he couldn't enter Hundred Ghost Town, and Shi Feng had changed his appearance, so even if they met, Jue Tian wouldn't recognize him.
Shi Feng found a cellar not far from the farm.
This cellar was the entrance to the secret passage. The owner of the farm was the guardian of the secret passage.
The cellar was very dark, making it impossible to see inside. Shi Feng had to take out a magic lamp for light. He advanced along the passage in the cellar and finally found the locked iron door of the secret passage.
If Shi Feng's strength exceeded a hundred, he could have broken such an iron door even without a key, but his strength was far from a hundred, so he had to obediently use the key to open it.
"Hmm." As soon as Shi Feng stepped into the secret passage and took a few steps, he found bones scattered everywhere and signs of fighting all over the walls.
This gave Shi Feng a bad feeling.
The curse turned living creatures into ghosts, meaning that where there were living beings, there were ghosts. A pile of bones here...
"Ooooh!"
At that moment, a group of pitch-black evil ghosts came roaring from the depths of the secret passage, their crimson eyes fixed on Shi Feng, charging at him with claws bared.
Cursed Evil Ghost, Level 15, Health 700.
Cursed Evil Ghosts were more ferocious than Cursed Spirits. Unlike Cursed Spirits, which were slow and dazed, acting purely on instinct, Cursed Evil Ghosts had some intelligence and were very agile, with an instinctive madness and sensitivity to flesh and blood.
They were Level 15, while Shi Feng was only Level 7, with a level gap of eight levels. With 60% physical immunity and 20% physical evasion, Shi Feng couldn't handle even one, let alone a group of more than thirty.
More than thirty Cursed Evil Ghosts could easily wipe out a level 15 team.
Seeing the ghosts charging at him,
Shi Feng took an Ice Grenade from his backpack and threw it directly.
The Ice Grenade instantly exploded among the ghost group, freezing a 10-yard radius in an instant, immobilizing the ghosts and dealing 400 points of ice damage.
It had to be said that increasing magical damage by 100% was the fatal weakness of these ghosts.
The reason Shi Feng had come to the Hundred Ghost Forest was that he had gone to Black Wing City to buy Ice Grenades.
A basic Ice Grenade was enough, since 200 damage was not low, and with the 100% increased effect against ghosts, it was even more impressive, enough to deal with the ghosts of Hundred Ghost Town.
Ice Grenades were a great weapon against monsters, with a throwing range of 30 yards and a cooldown of 1 second, but their effect against players was halved.
That was why he hadn't used them against Jue Tian earlier—he was worried about running out of Ice Grenades in Hundred Ghost Town. Moreover, Ice Grenades might not necessarily kill Jue Tian, and even if they did, exposing such a powerful weapon would make others cautious, which wasn't worth it.
If you're going to strike, you might as well make it a big one. Using Ice Grenades to take down Jue Tian alone wasn't worth it; at the very least, he should severely undermine the Martial Alliance.
