A scholar’s ​​path to becoming a god

After taking a general look at everyone else, Sheng Zhiyu observed the hungry ghost realm they were in.

This place is also like a maze, but compared to the previous spacious maze hell, this is a real cave, and the light is darker, with only scattered fire lamps hanging on the stone walls.

She remembered that when she and Qi Heyi entered the fourth level of Thorn Hell, Ruan Lu and Xiang Junyao were already in the Hungry Ghost Realm. They haven't been able to leave until now, which shows that this level is indeed a bit difficult.

"Senior sister, why do I always hear crying?" Qi Heyi looked around.

Sheng Zhiyu said: "You heard it right, there was indeed a cry, and it seemed to be a woman's voice."

Qi Heyi immediately imagined a scene of a female ghost in white shedding blood and tears, which frightened him to death.

"No, there seems to be another sound. Did you hear a hissing sound?" Sheng Zhiyu said again.

Qi Heyi shook his head: "No, what a hissing sound, it can't be a snake."

Sheng Zhiyu frowned slightly: "No, it seems to be coming from the top of the head."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless bat-like things emerged from every corner of the maze.

When I looked closer, I realized that they were not bats at all, but crumpled babies with bat wings.

Their bellies were round, as if they were about to explode at any moment, while their limbs were as slender as matchsticks.

The targets were too scattered, and Sheng Zhiyu couldn't use the fire element to burn them, so he had to take out a knife and start killing them in various ways.

Although Qi Heyi was a bit of a novice, he was also someone who had experienced strong winds and waves. He took a stick and beat the monster hard.

"No, why do I feel like there are more and more of them the more I fight?" Sheng Zhiyu looked at the densely packed flying monsters and felt like they couldn't kill them all.

Moreover, her body was already covered in the monster's blood, making her very uncomfortable.

Qi Heyi was also a little tired: "These little monsters seem to be flying from the front, otherwise let's run in another direction."

Sheng Zhiyu had no choice but to set a fire first and then ran in the opposite direction.

These monsters were very afraid of the spiritual flames, so they did not catch up.

Sheng Zhiyu and Qi Heyi ran to a corner and finally felt that there were no monsters chasing behind them.

Qi Heyi panted: "What are those things?"

Sheng Zhiyu said: "The legendary hungry ghost looks like this. It has a big belly but thin limbs. Don't you think it looks like a refugee from the grassland?"

Qi Heyi nodded: "It's indeed similar. They are afraid of fire. We can get a torch and hold it in our hands so that they don't dare to get close."

Sheng Zhiyu also had this idea, so she picked up a wooden stick on the ground and lit it with spiritual fire.

Qi Heyi also stretched out his wooden stick in front of her.

Sheng Zhiyu raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you also a fire element? Why did you ask me to help you?"

Qi Heyi smiled sheepishly: "Isn't it because your fire element aura is stronger? I'm a scumbag who is far from being able to build a foundation. The fire element can't compare with you."

Sheng Zhiyu didn't say anything and helped him light the torch.

The two held torches and walked in the direction they had just gone. Sure enough, the monsters were hanging above their heads and did not attack them again.

"The woman's cry seems to be getting closer and closer." Sheng Zhiyu vaguely felt that the source of the sound was at the corner in front of them.

And those little monsters also flew from this direction.

Qi Heyi was a little scared: "Senior, is it really a ghost?"

Sheng Zhiyu glanced at him: "What are you thinking? This is the Hungry Ghost Path. Of course it is full of ghosts."

Qi Heyi immediately walked behind Sheng Zhiyu.

Sheng Zhiyu had become accustomed to his unreliability, so he walked forward cautiously with a torch.

Reflecting the light of the fire, she saw a hungry ghost with a big belly sitting on the ground, crying in pain. The hair on the top of this hungry ghost's head was sparse, revealing a bare skull. It was hard to imagine that she was a female hungry ghost.

Just when Sheng Zhiyu was about to step back, he found that the female hungry ghost began to twitch all over, and then her legs trembled uncontrollably, spurting out streams of black and red sticky blood.

Then, dozens of dark babies were discharged from between her legs. After these babies landed, they were able to stand up quickly, then fluttered the wings on their backs and flew away.

"So this is where those little monsters came from." Qi Heyi said in surprise, "Senior sister, do you want to kill her?"

Sheng Zhiyu hesitated for a moment: "Forget it, I'll purify her."

Over the past year or so, Gu Xingzhou taught her many things, including spells.

She took out a few blank spells, bit her fingers, drew complicated runes on them, and then threw the spells at the female hungry ghost.

The female hungry ghost's body began to smoke as if she had been burned, but her crying and roaring stopped, as if she had been relieved.

The two then walked inside and found that there were many strange hungry ghosts in the cave. But without exception, they were afraid of the flames and did not dare to get close.

"Senior, I'm so hungry." Qi Heyi felt his stomach getting emptier and emptier, "Let's stop for a while and wait for me to eat something before leaving."

Sheng Zhiyu nodded, Qi Heyi didn't have indigestion, and it was normal to be hungry.

Qi Heyi redeemed a bowl of noodles at the points mall, but as soon as he took it out, the noodles turned into a handful of loess before his eyes.

Qi Heyi: "..."

Sheng Zhiyu thought: "Maybe you can't eat in the hungry ghost realm."

Qi Heyi said in horror: "But I'm very, very hungry."

Sheng Zhiyu was puzzled: "You didn't just eat in the hell realm, how could you be hungry so quickly?"

Qi Heyi said: "I don't know. I was hungry just now and I feel more and more hungry."

Sheng Zhiyu thought for a while: "Maybe in the hungry ghost realm, not only can't eat food, but you will also suffer from hunger. Fortunately, I have already inedged and don't feel this way."

Qi Heyi: "Look, do you think this is human language?"

Since Qi Heyi was too hungry to walk, Sheng Zhiyu had no choice but to stop and let him use his spiritual energy to regain his strength.

Then she entered Ruan Lu's perspective.

Ruan Lu and Xiang Junyao were also in the dark cave, but they were so hungry that they could only walk on the stone wall, their faces very pale.

But Teng Yuyan's profile picture went dark. She didn't know whether she starved to death or was attacked by a hungry ghost.

In addition to Teng Yuyan, another player died in the animal path, and there are currently 14 people left.

Qi Heyi finally recovered some physical strength, but he was still very hungry: "Senior sister, I seem to smell the aroma of meat."

"Why can't I smell the smell of meat?" Sheng Zhiyu was a little surprised.

Qi Heyi looked ahead with bright eyes: "That's where there is delicious food!"

Sheng Zhiyu stared at Qi Heyi with a dazed expression: "Don't scare me. How could there be any food in this hungry ghost's tunnel?"

Qi Heyi struggled and ran forward.
