Chapter 81 80. Ghost Babies
Deep in the pool.
The ghost baby curled up in the lotus-shaped nest on the back of the toad monster suddenly opened its red eyes and let out a series of sharp hisses.
In those pairs of blood-red pupils, the originally empty look was quickly replaced by anger, resentment and ferocity.
Immediately afterwards, the ghost babies crawled out of their nests one by one and rushed towards the water like crazy.
The four men of Xu Qing, who were wrapped in a layer of golden light, were ready for battle as if they were facing a formidable enemy. In a short while, they saw ghost babies with a dark blue body, red eyes and a mouth full of sharp teeth jumping out from under the pool.
Xu Qing took a quick glance.
There were no less than twenty ghost babies crawling out of the pool, each of them was at least at the level of a vengeful spirit, and very few were evil spirits.
As mentioned before, the ghosts in the world can be divided into wandering souls, resentful spirits, evil spirits, evil spirits, fierce gods, disasters, and calamities, which correspond to the seven realms of cultivators.
In other words.
If we don't take into account certain means of restraining ghosts, vengeful spirits can be compared to Taoist practitioners in the second level of the Refining Essence Realm, and evil ghosts can be compared to Taoist practitioners in the third level of the Refining Qi Realm.
The ghost disaster composed of twenty vengeful spirits and evil ghosts is now capable of attacking some small towns.
This,
It's just a small part of the ghost babies controlled by the toad at the bottom of the deep pool!
The exact time when the Infant Drowning Pond was created cannot be verified, but it should have existed for several years or even more than ten years.
Over the years, even if not every baby who drowned or died young can turn into a ghost baby, even if one out of ten can, the number is still considerable!
After the hideous-looking ghost baby jumped out of the pool, it sensed the presence of living people and immediately screamed and rushed towards Xu Qing and others.
"How is it possible?" Dasha screamed when he saw the ghost baby moving freely in the sun. "It's daytime now, how can the vengeful spirit move under the sun?"
Only evil ghosts can initially ignore the harm of sunlight, but they still have a fear of it, while vengeful spirits will die when exposed to light.
"They are blessed by the incense and the power of the monster in the pond."
Xu Qing's eyes were as sharp as fire, and he could see through the details of these ghost babies at a glance.
While explaining, his eyes were still fixed on the surface of the still boiling pool, knowing that more ghost babies were emerging from the bottom of the pool.
He grabbed the temple priest by the collar and threw him backwards: "If you don't want to die, get out of here quickly."
After saying this, he no longer cared about his life or death and focused on dealing with the ghost baby in front of him.
Ding Chou God had already appeared when the ghost baby just emerged from the pool. Two huge statues of the gods stood in front of the four people, giving Li Pingan, Dasha and Mo Qingxue a strong sense of security.
Facing the influx of infant spirits.
The Jiazi God swung his axe, and the axe blade was so sharp that any infant spirit in the realm of resentful spirits that was swept or touched by it would explode directly into balls of negative energy.
Even if a ghost baby has reached the level of a fierce ghost, it may not be able to withstand such an axe attack without the protection of incense.
Although the two guardian gods summoned by Xu Qing were not real gods, they both possessed some of the qualities and rhyme of gods and were naturally able to restrain all evil things.
The Dingchou God was not as aggressive as the Jiazi God. The Ruyi Trident picked up the ghost babies one by one like a string of gourds.
Every ghost baby that was pierced by the Ruyi Trident felt like it was touched by a branding iron. A burning flame smoldered from within its body, and in a short while it turned into wisps of negative energy and dissipated.
With the blessing of the golden light bestowed by the Six Ding and Six Jia Talismans, although Mo Qingxue, Dasha and Li Ping'an are not as strong as the ghost babies in the evil ghost realm, at least they can protect themselves.
It would take some effort to kill the ghost babies at the level of resentful spirits. "The golden light that Taoist Master Xu Qing gave us can restrain these ghost babies, so we can do whatever we want!" Mo Qingxue shouted in a delicate voice, and the knife in her hand splashed fiercely.
Wherever the knife flashed, the Qi and blood contained in it collided with the Yin Qi, boiling up like a boil and exploding into layers of Qi ripples.
A warrior's qi and blood are the ultimate manifestation of a living person's vitality, which naturally counteracts the yin energy. Coupled with the restraining effect of the golden light, Mo Qingxue's fierce sword forced back several approaching ghost babies and seriously injured them.
Dasha and Li Pingan were not to be outdone.
One of them used a knife and the other wielded fists. Both the knife and the fist were heavy. They did not fight against several people alone like Mo Qingxue did. Instead, they fought with a ghost baby, which also shared some of the pressure.
Xu Qing drove Dingchou God to target the most difficult ones, those ghost babies that were blessed by incense and those in the realm of evil spirits. The rest were left to Jiazi God, Mo Qingxue and the other two.
He himself remained motionless, staring closely at the baby drowning pond.
Seeing that as time went by, the number of ghost babies not only did not decrease but increased, Xu Qing's expression changed slightly.
How many ghost babies are there under this pool of water?
Just at this moment, I don’t know whether it was the large amount of negative energy and resentment that caused the changes in the celestial phenomena nearby, or whether it was supposed to rain at this time.
The sky, which was clear just now, began to turn cloudy.
As the humid wind blew, a group of dark clouds appeared in the distance, drifting towards here, and the sunlight gradually lost its warmth and brilliance.
Xu Qing looked up at the sky with a gloomy expression.
This can't go on like this!
Although these ghost babies can ignore the harm of sunlight, their fear of sunlight is engraved deep in their souls, and they cannot exert their full strength under the sunlight.
If there is no sunshine
With this thought in mind, Xu Qing simply picked up a Liujia Chi Lei Talisman. On the talisman, one could see traces of thunder and lightning constantly wandering along the Dharma veins, revealing an extremely destructive yet righteous and strong force.
"Sir Liujia, listen to my command, thunder is coming!"
After Xu Qing uttered the command and ignited the talisman with his life essence, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared above the pool and quickly condensed.
next moment.
The white light collapsed into a point, with thunder bursting out from inside.
With a loud bang, a pale bolt of lightning as thick as an arm fell like a dragon, striking into the pool with unmatched swiftness, and a waterless hole instantly evaporated from the water surface.
The pale thunder broke through the flowing water all the way to the deepest bottom of the pool.
The pupils of the toad demon lying on the pile of bones were illuminated by the lightning. It opened its mouth and spit out an arrow of water mixed with the glow of incense towards the falling lightning.
The water arrows collided with the lightning and exploded together.
However, this was exactly what Xu Qing wanted. His purpose in casting this thunder talisman was not to kill the toad hiding deep in the pool.
Instead, he used the property of lightning that could be transmitted through water to strike the ghost babies on a large scale.
Sizzle.
When the falling pale thunder exploded, a large number of electric arcs instantly spread in all directions, densely packed like a big net that trapped all the ghost babies rushing towards the pool.
The ghost baby in the water couldn't hide even if he wanted to, and could only endure the damage from countless electric arcs hitting his body, and his painful roars echoed underwater.
The entire pool continued to boil, as if it had reached its peak, and with a "bang", a huge column of water shot up into the sky.
