Chapter 71: Chapter 69: Fake Thunder Talisman
If that ghost is eliminated, won’t Mo Lin’s efforts during this time have been in vain?
For what?
The feeling is like preparing a meal, ready to eat, and suddenly someone comes and flips the pot over.
Can this work?
"Brother, why are you so excited?" The man looked at Mo Lin, puzzled by his excitement.
"The pot is about to be flipped, how can I not be excited?" Mo Lin retorted.
"What pot flipping?" The man looked at Mo Lin, baffled.
He couldn’t understand what Mo Lin meant at all.
Mo Lin ignored the man and headed up the mountain to check the situation.
A group of people on the mountain were sprinkling some white lime powder on the ground.
Then they drew some patterns on the surrounding tree trunks.
In any case, Mo Lin couldn’t understand what it was.
These people wore matching blue robes.
On the back of the robes was a conspicuous character for "Thunder".
The moment Mo Lin saw these people, he was sure that they were here to catch ghosts.
"Little brother, this is not a place for you, hurry and leave." A young man urged Mo Lin to leave.
"Where is your manager?" Mo Lin asked the man.
"I don’t know, the manager hasn’t arrived yet." The young man answered slowly.
Mo Lin was contemplating what method to use to stop these people from catching the ghost.
While Mo Lin was pondering, a woman with her hair tied high caught his attention from afar.
This woman’s attire was different from the people around her.
She was wearing a black coat and was instructing the people around her.
Then the woman noticed Mo Lin.
"Handsome, it’s dangerous here, you should leave quickly." The woman reminded Mo Lin.
At first glance, Mo Lin was sure that this woman was the backbone of the group.
She should be the one in charge of catching ghosts.
"Are you here to catch ghosts?" Mo Lin inquired to the woman.
"Yes."
The woman nodded and reminded Mo Lin, "There is a very powerful ghost here that might hurt you, you should leave quickly."
"Are you the one catching the ghost?" Mo Lin asked again.
"Yes, it’s me." The woman nodded.
"Oh, that’s good." Mo Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"What do you mean by that?" Zhuge Mingyue was somewhat surprised by Mo Lin’s reaction.
It felt as if he was looking down on her a bit.
"This ghost is very powerful, you’re not its match, I advise you not to catch it."
It wasn’t that Mo Lin looked down on Zhuge Mingyue.
The nightmare-level ghost was about to break through its realm.
Zhuge Mingyue probably wasn’t its opponent.
"Haha... there’s no ghost I can’t catch." Zhuge Mingyue didn’t take Mo Lin’s warning seriously at all.
Mo Lin didn’t say much more, he casually found a place to sit and rest.
"Aren’t you leaving?" Zhuge Mingyue asked curiously, seeing Mo Lin not leaving.
Mo Lin shook his head, "No."
He had to stay to catch the ghost!
How could he leave?
Seeing Mo Lin not leaving, Zhuge Mingyue was too lazy to bother with Mo Lin and began organizing the group to set up the ghost-catching arrangements.
The group of people was busy for a long time.
By the time they finished setting everything up, it was already 7 PM.
It was getting dark.
A gentle breeze blew, and the sound of birds chirping on the branches could still be heard clearly.
Mo Lin lay on the lawn resting.
Suddenly, the sound of birds chirping disappeared.
A thick fog had risen unknown to when.
The fog was dense.
"Everyone, be careful, the ghost is about to appear."
Zhuge Mingyue’s voice echoed across the mountain top.
Mo Lin immediately sat up and looked towards the place where the fog was thick.
A ghostly figure gradually emerged.
It was a female ghost, her eye sockets void of pupils, and her decayed face oozing pus.
The horrifying face was chilling to behold.
Zhuge Mingyue immediately put up her guard.
"Catch the ghost," Zhuge Mingyue shouted.
With a clatter...
Four men appeared from all directions, holding red ropes.
The red ropes rose from the ground and surrounded the female ghost.
Simultaneously, a net woven of red ropes fell from the sky towards the female ghost.
All of this happened in an instant.
"Crackle..."
The red net covering the ghost made a crackling sound.
Meanwhile, another man took out incense ashes and sprinkled them on the ghost.
"Ah..."
The female ghost let out a sharp scream.
The incense ashes caused her significant harm.
A puff of smoke was emitted the moment the incense ashes touched the ghost.
The action of these people in catching the ghost was proficient.
If it was a dangerous-level ghost, it would have lost its ability to resist by now.
But the female ghost in front of them wasn’t a dangerous-level ghost, she was a nightmare-level ghost.
The ghost raised her right hand, gathering a black light in her palm, then slashed it out like a blade.
This was her Ghost Skill, Slash.
The net woven of red ropes was torn open with a large hole.
The ghost seized the opportunity and dashed through the opening.
Free from the red rope’s restraints, the ghost’s abilities were fully unleashed.
Zhuge Mingyue frowned deeply.
A nightmare-level ghost!
Before coming, she didn’t know the ghost here was nightmare-level.
Based on the intel, the ghost here was horror-level.
Now it seemed the intel was wrong.
"This is a nightmare-level ghost, get away quickly." Zhuge Mingyue hurriedly advised.
But her warning came too late.
"Pfft..."
Blood splattered in the air.
The ghost’s arm pierced through the chest of a young man, ending the young man’s life.
This was the wrath of a nightmare-level ghost.
Ordinary people couldn’t bear it.
Everyone retreated to the side.
The patterns drawn on the ground suddenly emitted a golden light.
It seemed to be an array trapping the ghost inside.
This was a ghost-catching array.
Fortunately, these people had set up an array beforehand; otherwise, there would have been a bloodbath today.
The ghost was trapped within the golden light, unable to get out for the moment.
Yet Zhuge Mingyue’s group also dared not enter the golden light recklessly.
The scene was tense.
The ghost flung black light blades from her right hand, attacking the golden light.
The golden light was gradually weakening, as if the ghost might break out at any time.
"Big sister, what do we do?" A young man asked Zhuge Mingyue.
"You leave, I’ll deal with it." Zhuge Mingyue said coldly.
"But..." the young man wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhuge Mingyue.
"Take them and go," Zhuge Mingyue repeated.
The young man no longer hesitated; he understood that his group couldn’t be much help.
So, the young man led his brothers away, leaving Zhuge Mingyue alone to handle the aftermath.
Zhuge Mingyue took out a blue talisman from her pocket with her right hand.
Looking closely, this talisman was similar to the Thunder Talisman Mo Lin had obtained previously.
But the material it was made from was different.
The talisman in Zhuge Mingyue’s hand resembled a counterfeit.
"Clatter..."
The ghost broke through the array, charging at Zhuge Mingyue.
Zhuge Mingyue used the Fake Thunder Talisman, and her body was enveloped in blue lightning.
The lightning surrounded her like a thunder dragon.
Zhuge Mingyue held the Fake Thunder Talisman between her index and middle fingers, charging towards the ghost.
Zhuge Mingyue was evenly matched with the ghost at the moment, even slightly at a disadvantage.
Every slash from the ghost was easily blocked by the lightning she wielded.
But with every move, the Fake Thunder Talisman in her hand gradually dimmed.
