Chapter 267: Chapter 140: The Astonishment of the Ghost Soul High Priest, Early Fusion. The Returning Cavalry!
Meanwhile.
At the center of the Ghost Tribe, by the Great Altar.
The Ghost Soul High Priest was staring at the two corpses in front of him, lost in a long silence.
"How is this possible? Why has all the Ghost Energy on these remains disappeared..."
"Why is there no residual Ghost Energy on these Ghost Wolf Riders’ remains? This is impossible, absolutely impossible..."
The shock in the Ghost Soul High Priest’s heart was indescribable.
This was something he had never seen in a thousand years.
"What kind of force could eliminate the Ghost Energy on them, even so thoroughly, like a purification?" The Ghost Soul High Priest quickly stepped forward, extended his hand, and closely examined the two corpses, realizing he could not see any traces of the Ghosts.
At this moment, one of the two Ghost Hunters standing beside the High Priest spoke: "High Priest, these corpses are from the reconnaissance team that went to the Dead Silence Wilderness to investigate."
"During our process of bringing back the bodies, we discovered that most of the small settlements in the Dead Silence Wilderness had disappeared, and many detection devices were placed throughout the wilderness. When we tried to approach, we found that those devices could detect abnormal Ghost Energy fluctuations."
"Once approached, a signal would be sent."
The Ghost Hunters were naturally referring to the Ghost Energy Radars placed by the Mechanical City in the Dead Silence Wilderness.
This Ghost Hunter continued: "To avoid alerting them, we dared not go deep into the wilderness, so..."
"We could only bring back these remains. The others were either so thoroughly destroyed that they couldn’t be brought back, or they were within the detection device’s range, and we dared not go further."
Su Yu’s previous actions of wiping out the Ghost reconnaissance team in a single day had already frightened these Ghost Hunters to the extreme. Naturally, they dared not enter the detection range, fearing they would meet the same fate as the reconnaissance team.
"High Priest, we’ve already tried our best."
The voice of the Ghost Hunter was extremely humble, revealing deep-seated fear.
Though this Ghost Hunter believed they had done a decent job, the temperament of the Ghost Soul High Priest was notoriously unpredictable.
As expected, the next moment, the Ghost Soul High Priest turned his attention from the remains and looked up at the two, his voice hoarse as he spoke: "So..."
"You brought back these remains, but found nothing else?"
"You don’t know the reason for the settlements’ coalition, nor what changes occurred in the Dead Silence Wilderness? You haven’t even identified our enemy?"
The Ghost Soul High Priest’s tone turned indifferent, revealing no trace of his emotions, as he said: "Is this your answer? You tell me you’ve tried your best?"
The two Ghost Hunters exchanged a glance and saw the ominous look in each other’s eyes. They quickly spoke: "High Priest, we really can’t probe further, given that mysterious force can handle all reconnaissance units in a day, it could handle us."
"Yes, High Priest..."
The two Ghost Hunters couldn’t finish their words before they lost the chance to speak.
Under the Ghost Soul High Priest’s black robe, countless voids covered his withered body, with no flesh or blood visible in the voids.
At that moment, countless black tendrils extended from these voids, catching the two Ghost Hunters. The tendrils tightly gripped the Ghost Hunters’ necks, binding their limbs and gradually constricting them. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
The Ghost Soul High Priest at this time no longer appeared human and resembled a Ghost Demon!
"Mmm..." The two Ghost Hunters couldn’t struggle, and couldn’t even speak their pleas for mercy.
The Ghost Soul High Priest didn’t care about their words or their right or wrong. All he wanted was to vent, or rather, to vent the fear within.
"The power to purify Ghost Energy—this power is a mortal enemy to the entire Ghost Tribe, and even poses a threat to me." Having realized this, the Ghost Soul High Priest understood that the threat he faced was unprecedentedly immense.
"In any case, the wielder of this power must be eradicated, and this purifying ability must not appear on this planet."
"I must harvest in advance—harvest Ghost Energy and merge with the Ghost Clan Chief..."
"Otherwise, there will be trouble." The Ghost Soul High Priest feared the unknown means of purifying Ghost Energy greatly.
The fear within the Ghost Soul High Priest was boundless, yet his tendrils continued to constrict. Furthermore, the tendrils continuously extracted Ghost Energy from the Ghost Hunters, flowing into the High Priest’s body and slightly rejuvenating his withered form.
"High Priest, no..." The two Ghost Hunters made hoarse sounds, but they couldn’t stop the High Priest’s actions.
The Ghost Soul High Priest showed no expression on his face, only the black tendrils growing from his eye sockets twisted incessantly. Ignoring the words of the Ghost Hunters, he quickly used the tendrils to devour all their Spiritual Energy.
"Since you said you’ve tried your best, give me everything you have." the Ghost Soul High Priest murmured.
Soon, as the Ghost Energy was drained from the two Ghost Hunters, their flesh rapidly withered.
