Chapter 12 Ghost Tower Trial (1)

Since Xu Yang had the pet "Peach", he began to be interested in cultivating pets.

As a major sect of the ghost path, the Tiangui Sect has a special place for raising pets - the Ghost Spirit Tower. The Ghost Spirit Tower is a large space magic weapon, which is said to be created by the founder of the Tiangui Sect, "Zang Wuya".

Unlike other sects, the Ghost Spirit Tower is full of ghost pets. Ghost pets are more suitable for cultivators who practice ghost techniques in some aspects, such as techniques and habits.

Ghost pets are different from ghosts. Real ghosts are born in another interface called the Netherworld. Ghosts need to survive for a long time in an environment with extremely rich Netherworld power. Ghost pets are just special pets with some ghost characteristics and talents.

In ancient times, the spiritual energy of Zhongyuan Continent was many times richer than it is now. There is a channel in the interface between the Netherworld and Zhongyuan Continent - Zhongyuan Realm. A large number of ghost cultivators, ghost spirits, and ghost beasts in the Netherworld entered the Zhongyuan Realm through the channel. Along with it came a vast amount of netherworld power. A great war broke out between the cultivators of the Zhongyuan Realm and the ghost cultivators from the Netherworld.

But for some unknown reason, a long time ago, the channel between the Netherworld and the Zhongyuan Realm disappeared, and the ghost cultivators all retreated to the Netherworld. Only the increasingly thin netherworld power remained in the Zhongyuan Realm. However, infected by the netherworld power, some spirit beasts mutated and became ghost spirit beasts, and their descendants have continued to multiply until now.

Ghost spirit beasts are often more ferocious than ordinary spirit beasts, and are even more likely to attack ordinary people and cultivators. Moreover, only cultivators who practice ghost arts can make these ghost spirit beasts recognize their masters perfectly.

The powerful combat power brought by the netherworld power was favored by some powerful people in the Zhongyuan Realm. The founder of the Tiangui Sect, "Zang Wuya", was one of the best among these powerful people, and used the netherworld power to create a large number of ghost arts.

The Heavenly Ghost Sect not only mobilized its own disciples to capture ghost beasts and put them in the Ghost Spirit Tower, but also publicly purchased ghost beasts at a high price and put them in the Ghost Spirit Tower.

In this way, on the one hand, the harm of ghost beasts to Zhongyuan Continent was greatly reduced. On the other hand, the things were put to good use and used by the Heavenly Ghost Sect to strengthen the power of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. Therefore, more than 50% of the ghost beasts on Zhongyuan Continent are in the Ghost Spirit Tower.

The Ghost Spirit Tower has two functions.

First, it can be used by the disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect to capture ghost beasts for their own use.

Second, the disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect can practice special training and improve their cultivation by fighting with the ghost beasts in the Ghost Spirit Tower.

The disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect need to pay a certain amount of Heavenly Ghost Coins to enter the Ghost Spirit Tower to capture spirit pets. The higher the level of the spirit pet, the more Heavenly Ghost Coins need to be paid. The Heavenly Ghost Coin is actually a spirit stone engraved with the Heavenly Ghost Sect's mark. It is used as a reward for disciples to complete tasks within the sect, and can be used to consume in various properties within the Heavenly Ghost Sect. The Ghost Spirit Tower is one of them.

The Ghost Spirit Tower has ten floors, and various ghost beasts are distributed from the first to the tenth floor of the Ghost Spirit Tower according to their realms. It is said that there are ghost beasts equivalent to the Yuanhun realm on the tenth floor.

Xu Yang currently does not want to enter the Ghost Spirit Tower to catch ghost beasts as spiritual pets, because Xu Yang feels that "Peaches" are no worse than any other ghost beasts.

Xu Yang's purpose of entering the Ghost Spirit Tower is, first, to exercise his fighting ability, and second, to let Peaches cooperate with him to attack and cultivate the combined combat ability between himself and Peaches.

On this day, Xu Yang came to the location of the Ghost Spirit Tower through the small teleportation array in the sect.

The Ghost Spirit Tower is located in an unnamed valley, and is under the jurisdiction of the Ghost Spirit Academy, a branch of the Guitian Ghost Sect.

The ground in the square of the Ghost Spirit Academy is clean and tidy.

Looking up, the Ghost Spirit Tower stands on the hillside opposite the square, and the dark ten-story tower body flashes strange runes from time to time.

Xu Yang walked in the square, thinking that the Ghost Spirit Tower was full of ghost beasts, and he couldn't help but shudder. There were some trees planted around the square. The wind blew through the treetops, making bursts of rustling sounds, making the surroundings even quieter, so quiet that people were a little suspicious. Occasionally, when he heard a bird singing, Xu Yang would subconsciously look at the source of the sound.

Came to the entrance of the first floor of the Ghost Spirit Tower.

There was a wooden notice board next to the entrance, and many disciples from various branches of the Heavenly Ghost Sect gathered in front of the notice board.

The notice board clearly stated the precautions for entering the Ghost Spirit Tower:

1. Entry fee. One hundred Heavenly Ghost coins per person per time on the first floor. Three hundred Heavenly Ghost coins per person per time on the second floor... The ninth and tenth floors are not open to ordinary disciples, and must be approved by the Elders' Council of the sect before entering.

2. Capture fee. It costs three thousand Heavenly Ghost coins to capture each ghost beast on the first floor. Each ghost beast on the second floor needs to pay 9,000 Sky Ghost Coins, and each ghost beast on the third floor needs to pay 20,000 Sky Ghost Coins...

Third, the ghost beasts in the center of each floor of the Ghost Spirit Tower are stronger than those on the edge. It is recommended to form a team of more than three people to enter.

Fourth, entry time. Each person can only enter the Ghost Spirit Tower once a month. Each entry time cannot exceed seven days...

Five, the disciples who enter it must have a realm greater than or equal to the ghost beasts on the same floor of the Ghost Spirit Tower. It is not allowed to enter the high-level Ghost Spirit Tower by skipping levels to avoid accidents.

After reading the notice board carefully, Xu Yang handed in 100 Sky Ghost Coins at the entrance. Through the dedicated teleportation gate, he entered the first floor of the Ghost Spirit Tower.

The first floor of the Ghost Spirit Tower.

Looking around, the landing place is very flat. It may be because everyone who comes in has passed by here. This place is trampled smooth and flat, like a small square. Not far away, there is a stream flowing out of the distant valley and disappearing in the shrubs on the other side. There is a mountain peak standing tall in the distance.

Wherever you look, the scenery is the same as that of the mountains and fields outside the sect. There are no ghosts or beasts at all. Xu Yang dispersed his consciousness and found no spiritual power fluctuations within a radius of ten feet, and the instinctive tension in his heart was reduced by one point.

This is the only entrance and exit on the first floor of Ghost Spirit Tower. Many disciples enter and leave this floor every day. Even if all the ghosts at the entrance were not captured, they were scared away. Thinking of this, Xu Yang decided to explore in depth.

"Pan Tao" squatted on Xu Yang's shoulder, and one person and one animal came to the edge of the central area on the first floor of the Ghost Spirit Tower. I saw a river three feet wide in front of me blocking the way, and there were dense woods on the other side of the river.

Xu Yang made a seal with his left hand, gathered the magic power under his feet, and used the air control technique to fly across the river.

As soon as they reached the sky above the river, a splash of water suddenly rose under their feet, and a black ghost fish with huge bone spurs on its back jumped out of the water. The ghost fish was covered in black gas, and it showed its jagged steel teeth and headed towards Xu Yang. Come and bite. Xu Yang secretly screamed something bad, and ran the Dark Fire Technique at a very high speed to increase the height of the air control.

At the critical moment, a ball of blue-white electricity passed under Xu Yang's feet. With a bang, it accurately hit the head of the huge black fish. The blue-white electric arc exploded instantly, and the upward momentum of the black fish stopped abruptly. Fell down.

The cattail fan-like fish tail rubbed against the soles of Xu Yang's feet and fell back to the water with a splash, causing water to splash.

Xu Yang turned his head and smiled at "Pan Tao" and said, "Well done."

"Pan Tao" nodded proudly.

At this moment, a splash was heard from the water, and a huge splash of water rose up. A grey-green, huge and ferocious giant crocodile jumped out of the water, holding in its mouth the black ghost fish that had just attacked Xu Yang. The huge crocodile's mouth violently swung back and forth, and the black ghost fish was bitten to pieces and became the giant crocodile's belly meal, leaving only a pool of blood. The cruel laws of the jungle make people sigh.

"There are many dangers here. Isn't it a bit reckless to enter the central area to explore alone?" Xu Yang thought secretly.

Cross the river and come to the dense woods.

With the lesson learned just now, Xu Yang decided not to use the air control technique easily.

Xu Yang carefully entered the woods on foot. After one stick of incense, we had arrived deep in the woods. There was a rustling sound in the woods, as if something was approaching. Xu Yang hurriedly squatted down, hiding his breath, and observed quietly.

Not long after, a huge black wind bear appeared in Xu Yang's field of vision. This bear is about ten feet long, its hair is dark and translucent, and its body is as strong as a wall.

Xu Yang dispersed his consciousness and realized that there were no other spiritual beasts around. After carefully observing the surrounding terrain and scenery, he decided to take action.

Holding your breath and concentrating, you use the trees as cover to approach quietly and detour behind the Black Wind Bear.

Xu Yang waved his hand, and Pantao jumped down and disappeared into the grass on the ground. Secretly urging the Dark Fire Technique, flicking his wrist, a fireball the size of a fist roared out.

The black wind bear's two little ears moved excitedly twice, already aware of the strange movement in the air. Turning around, a huge bear's paw hit the fireball like a shovel mixed with black wind. With a "pop" sound, the fireball was smashed into pieces and turned into large sparks that dissipated in the void.

Black Wind Bear instantly spotted Xu Yang not far away. He stared at the invading enemy with a pair of small green eyes. He opened his mouth and let out a roar that made the surrounding branches rustle.

Xu Yang was well prepared. He gathered his magic power under his feet and jumped onto a tree not far away.

Seeing that it could not attack Xu Yang, the black bear bared its teeth at Xu Yang on the tree and let out a series of dull whining sounds. Immediately afterwards, a pair of strong fleshy palms slapped the tree trunk. With a click, like a child folding a hemp stick, the tree as big as a bowl broke.

Everything was as expected by Xu Yang, and he jumped to the other side. With the rebound of the landing, he used his magic power to quickly jump to another tree.

The black wind bear followed him like a shadow, and with another slap, another tree as thick as a bowl was broken.

In this way, Xu Yang jumped around in the woods, and from time to time used the Dark Fire Technique to shoot fireballs to delay the Black Wind Bear's movements.

The Black Wind Bear was like swatting a field mouse. In just one cup of tea, all the trees within a dozen feet in radius were knocked down and scattered across a large area. The black wind bear stuck out its black tongue, panting heavily, its movements became much slower, and its two green eyes looked listless.

Taking advantage of Black Wind Bear's declining physical strength, Xu Yang made a quick judgment. When he raised his hand, a fire cone appeared in his right hand. Three fireballs were fired in a row, and a cold light appeared faintly in the third fireball, with a fire cone hidden in it and shot out.

The bear's paw waved, and with two "bang bangs" the two fireballs in front were smashed into pieces.

The moment the black bear hit the third fireball, the fire cone hidden in the third fireball burst out and nailed the black bear's shoulder.

With a pop, the smaller half of the fire cone was submerged into the black bear's shoulder, and instantly a large amount of hot blood flowed down the wound.
