Chapter 111: Ghost Soldier Battle Array, Heavenly Palace
The crying was hoarse, sounding nothing like human cries, but more like the mournful shrieks of night birds in the deep jungle.
As the crying rose and fell, more and more Gu infants hatched.
After crawling out of their mothers, these Gu infants immediately turned and bit down on them. With their four-part mouths latching onto the end of the umbilical cords connecting them to the Gu People Female Corpses, they wriggled as if devouring flowers consuming prey, and swallowed the cords into their bodies.
Some Gu infants simply clawed at their mothers’ backs, tearing and swallowing the skin and flesh from the Gu People Female Corpses.
The cave instantly filled with the sound of gnawing and swallowing skin and flesh!
This sound, intertwined with the cries of the newly born Gu infants, echoed throughout the entire Gourd Cave, composing a terrifying new symphony of birth within the cave!
Xue Li Yang and the others felt their skin crawl, their psychological endurance seemingly pushed to the absolute limit, and turned to look at Su Mo.
Su Mo, looking at the Gu People Female Corpses in the distance, noticed that most of the Gu infants had already hatched.
He then produced the Ghost Seal from his System Space.
As his thoughts shifted, a chilling aura instantly emanated from the Ghost Seal.
A patch of black qi appeared out of thin air in the sky.
The black qi condensed in the air, like black clouds pressing down on a city, seemingly lowering the surrounding temperature by several degrees.
As the black qi condensed, cold and sinister figures gradually emerged within the black clouds!
These were none other than the Ghost Soldiers summoned from the Ghost Seal!
These Ghost Soldiers were shrouded in dense black qi, their faces dark and cold, like emotionless corpses, clad in pitch-black armor and wielding various weapons.
Lances, swords, sabers, warhammers…
The black qi gradually dispersed, but the black qi on the Ghost Soldiers became even more concentrated, as if their bodies had gained substance.
One hundred Ghost Soldiers gradually became clear in the air, and they all cupped their fists towards Su Mo:
“My Lord!”
This cry of “My Lord” sounded cold and full of killing intent, but the voice was exceptionally sharp, like a ghost’s wail, making one’s ears ache!
“Kill these Gu infants!”
Su Mo waved his hand, issuing a command to the Ghost Soldiers.
The Ghost Soldiers immediately turned, carrying a gust of chilling wind, and spread out, lunging towards the Gu infants on the water’s surface.
The black qi on their bodies had already condensed, and even their weapons seemed to have substance. Their speed was as swift as ghosts, and in an instant, they reached the Gu infants below, wielding their weapons to begin the attack.
Bang!
A Ghost Soldier, wielding a warhammer, smashed down fiercely on the head of a Gu infant, instantly shattering the skull of this bizarre half-human, half-insect creature. A mixture of green and pale brain matter splattered from the broken head, and the Gu infant’s body went limp, sinking rapidly into the water.
With the first Gu infant killed, the formal battle of the one hundred Ghost Soldiers commenced.
Lances thrust, swords and sabers slashed, warhammers smashed…
In just a few seconds, hundreds of Gu infants were slain by the Ghost Soldiers.
The entire cave instantly became a terrifying battlefield, but this time, the battle was between the Ghost Soldiers and the Gu infants.
As for the Gu People Female Corpses, because the seal on the Leopard Skin Pouch had been broken, the Jade Ghost Fetus was crushed by Su Mo, and their bodies had withered due to the hatching of the Gu Eggs, they all sank into the water, completely departing from this endless cycle of reincarnation!
Watching the battle in the cave, Hu Ba Yi and the others turned pale with fright.
This kind of battle was too brutal, and too bizarre!
The water’s surface was filled with darting Gu infants and pursuing Ghost Soldiers.
With so many Gu infants, if Su Mo hadn’t summoned the Ghost Soldiers, the Assault Rifles in Hu Ba Yi and their hands would have been insufficient to kill them all. Instead, they themselves might have been surrounded by the Gu infants.
But with the appearance of the Ghost Soldiers, the entire battle became much more controllable!
Some Gu infants seemed to sense danger and turned to flee, but the Ghost Soldiers’ speed was also as swift as ghosts, quickly catching up and continuing to slay them.
However, the number of Ghost Soldiers was limited. More Gu infants began to dart around, and many seemed to smell the scent of living people on Su Mo and the others, turning to lunge at them.
Rat-tat-tat…
Wang Pang Zi’s Thompson Submachine Gun fired first, and Hu Ba Yi and Xue Li Yang also pulled their triggers.
They continuously adjusted their firing methods, using semi-automatic mode to sweep when facing large groups of Gu infants, and switching to single shots when encountering a few.
The marksmanship of the three was excellent, hitting nearly every shot, and soon swathes of Gu infants fell.
Although some Gu infants evaded the bullets, Su Mo and Zhang Qiling stood on either side of the trio, swiftly dispatching them with the Frost Moon Sword and the Black Gold Ancient Blade.
This time, Su Mo wanted to completely eliminate these bizarre creatures to prevent them from propagating in the Insect Valley!
Soon, many Gu infants were killed and sank to the bottom of the water.
As the Gu People Female Corpses and Gu infants all sank into the water, the surface gradually became calm, with only the Ghost Soldiers still searching for and hunting Gu infants in the distance.
These Ghost Soldiers were completely tireless; once given an order, they would execute it to the death.
In just over an hour, the thousands of Gu infants were mostly cleared by Su Mo and the Ghost Soldiers working together.
However, some Gu infants had hidden themselves by diving into the water.
The water in Gourd Cave was extremely dark, and the Gu infants’ bodies were very small. Once they hid, they were difficult to detect.
Fortunately, these Ghost Soldiers could also enter water and did not need to breathe like living people. In the water, they did not need sight, relying solely on their senses to locate and hunt the hiding Gu infants.
Seeing that the Gu infants were almost entirely eliminated, Su Mo then recalled the Ghost Soldiers.
With a swirling, chilling aura, all the Ghost Soldiers returned to the Ghost Seal.
Wang Pang Zi and the others watched, dumbfounded:
“Master, you… how did you create these things!”
“Yes, Master! These things look like spirits, could they be the legendary Ghost Soldiers?”
Although Zhang Qiling remained silent, his gaze towards Su Mo was filled with admiration and relief.
It was fortunate that Su Mo possessed Ghost Soldiers; otherwise, with so many Gu infants being born, even if they managed to escape, these malevolent beings would have undoubtedly caused great disaster in the Insect Valley.
Su Mo was also using the Ghost Soldiers for the first time, and he was very satisfied at the moment.
Ghost Soldiers were truly convenient to use; summoning them relied on a Ghost Seal, and they were as swift as the wind, making them very practical.
If his Boundless Demonic Eyes were to upgrade to an even more powerful level in the future, he would surely be able to summon more Ghost Soldiers.
After resting for a moment, everyone walked out of the Gourd Cave along the stone platform.
Outside the Gourd Cave was a waterfall. In addition, many waterfall streams flowed down from the surrounding mountains. Many of these streams, shimmering with rainbows in the sunlight, were framed by the mountains, and amidst the towering peaks, a palace seemed like a celestial abode!
Wang Pang Zi and the others stared with their mouths agape:
“Good heavens, King Xian truly built a palace in the sky!”
