Games with fairies.

Seeing the uninvited guest Li Muyang suddenly arrive, the nightmare ghost who was holding the white woman's corpse and eating it suddenly looked up.

Its blood-red eyes stared at Li Muyang at the door. Li Muyang actually saw a hint of confusion in the eyes of the nightmare ghost.

The two men's eyes met, and the princess of the fallen country with hideous snake-like hair roared and rushed out from behind Li Muyang, dragging her ghostly afterimage and instantly knocked down the unsuspecting nightmare ghost.

This nightmare ghost obviously didn't expect that someone could be walking outside at night.

He is even a puppeteer who controls evil spirits.

It howled miserably and tried to struggle.

However, this monster was no match for Li Muyang, and lost the initiative in a state of shock and confusion.

In less than half a minute, the nightmare ghost collapsed in the yard with a hideous look of death.

The princess of the fallen country absorbed the breath of the nightmare ghost and gained experience points again.

Li Muyang looked at the corpse on the ground and narrowed his eyes.

"...This time, the nightmare ghost actually has emotions."

The further we go, the stronger the nightmare ghosts we encounter become, and even smarter.

Li Muyang was too lazy to clean up the scene and left with the princess of the fallen country.

Following the red dots on the map, he found the remaining five nightmare ghosts one by one.

Of these five nightmare ghosts, three were hunting for food, and two were hiding in the city to rest.

The group of nightmare ghosts were all caught off guard by Li Muyang's sudden attack. They had never expected that there would be a puppeteer appearing at night.

After all, puppeteers also need to sleep at night.

This is the iron law of this world, and no human can break it.

With the help of Li Muyang's overwhelming wisdom, the remaining five nightmare ghosts were easily killed.

[Task content: Find the trace of the nightmare ghost and collect its fragments]

[Current progress: 19/61]

Looking at the count on the task panel, Li Muyang breathed a sigh of relief.

“Is that one-third of the way done?”

As for the monsters that come later, will they become stronger and stronger?

To be honest, Li Muyang was actually looking forward to these nightmare ghosts becoming stronger.

His intuition told him that this group of nightmare ghosts was very special and different from the other evil creatures in the Ancient Well of Resentment. They might be involved in some important plot.

The stronger the nightmare ghost, the more likely it is to be involved in the plot.

And this is probably the reason why the system asked him to kill the nightmare ghost.

Past gaming experience has shown that Tiandao will not issue meaningless tasks.

While thinking, Li Muyang washed his hands in a pool not far from the inn, and then returned to the quiet inn under the night sky.

When passing by the coachman Ding Liang's house, Li Muyang stopped and looked at it curiously.

This sight made Li Muyang stunned.

Because Ding Liang in the room was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes slightly closed, concentrating, with a faint spiritual energy lingering around him.

In the Ancient Well of Resentment where everyone was asleep and their aura had turned into evil, this young man actually managed to enter a state of cultivation.

Moreover, while in the state of cultivation, he did not turn into an evil spirit, but instead retained the aura of a living person.

Li Muyang narrowed his eyes. "Can the creatures in the Ancient Grudge Well cultivate? And they won't turn into evil spirits after cultivating?"

He whispered softly.

However, although this soft whisper was so faint that it was almost inaudible, it still broke the silence of the night.

Ding Liang, who was originally sitting on the bed practicing, suddenly opened his eyes. The aura on his body changed dramatically, and the aura of a living creature instantly disappeared, replaced by a dark, evil and cold aura.

"Ow!"

With a shrill roar, Ding Liang, who had transformed into an evil creature, flew directly towards Li Muyang. At this moment, his strength was much stronger than that of an ordinary mortal incarnated as an evil spirit.

Li Muyang immediately quit the game and re-read the save file.

"Damn it, after Ding Liang becomes stronger through training, will the evil spirit he incarnate become stronger too?"

And his perception is so terrifying? He can wake up even with such a low sound...

At this moment, Li Muyang finally understood why no ancient cultivation methods were passed down in the Ancient Grievance Well. The only thing that was passed down was the puppetry invented by Xiao Yescao.

If the number of practitioners in the Ancient Well of Resentment increases, it also means that the number of evil monsters will increase.

Here, the only way to fight against the evil spirits is the puppetry of the Xiemai clan.

Because the evil vein clan is unable to practice cultivation, even if they turn into evil creatures, they will not be so scary that they are difficult to deal with.

But if a great monk with great cultivation turned into an evil creature... Tsk...

Li Muyang read the save file and returned to the inn.

Looking at the young man practicing quietly in the inn, he left silently.

This simple introductory technique of the Demon Refining Sect was the limit of what he could pass on to the young man.

He would not teach Ding Liang any more powerful skills.

But being able to practice the skills to the foundation-building stage can at least allow Ding Liang to have a certain self-protection ability when facing ordinary evil spirits.

This is enough.

The next day, Li Muyang and the excited Ding Liang set out on their journey again, heading to the last haunted place provided by Hongshan Academy.

Ding Liang, holding the reins tightly, was extremely excited.

Because when people in the city woke up in the morning, they found the corpses of six horrible nightmare ghosts. Only then did they realize that six monsters had sneaked into the city and were eliminated quietly.

The whole city was discussing this matter heatedly all morning.

In the streets, in the inns and brothels, everyone was talking about it.

People were curious and speculated which powerful and mysterious puppeteer did not ask the residents of the city for money, but instead quietly eliminated the six terrifying monsters.

In the lobby of the inn, even the travelers coming and going from the north and south were discussing heatedly which puppeteer was so powerful and mysterious, and so great and not interested in money.

Only the table where Li Muyang was sitting was dead silent.

Li Muyang ate his meal with an indifferent expression, without saying a word.

Ding Liang, who was standing by, was scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously. Listening to the discussion of those people next to him, his face turned red and white with anxiety. He wanted to jump out and tell everyone that the great and mysterious puppeteer was right in front of them.

But Li Muyang didn't say a word, so he could only worry, secretly glancing at Li Muyang from time to time, not daring to say anything more.

It was not until Li Muyang finished his meal, stood up to pay and called Ding Liang to leave that the boy reluctantly went out to get the horse.

"...Sir, why don't you tell those people that you were the one who killed the monster in the city!"

On the official road after leaving the city, Ding Liang, who had been holding it in all the way, finally couldn't help asking when he saw that there was no one around.

Li Muyang's cold voice was heard in the carriage.

"I'm afraid of trouble and don't want to hear their auspicious words of thanks."

"Compared to those things, the most important thing is to hurry on and get to the next place."

"If nothing unexpected happens, there will be nightmare ghosts in the last place we go to, and they are more powerful than the monsters in this city."

"If you go too late, every day you delay on the road may result in a few more deaths."

Li Muyang's words surprised Ding Liang.

He quickly whipped the horse's buttocks and said, "Ah? Then we must hurry up and not delay any longer."

In the early morning sunshine, the leaky old carriage drove along the official road, rushing towards the next destination in a hurry.
