Chapter 445 A Chinese Ghost Story: Scholar
The torch gradually went out,

The ghost tree demon no longer moved, and its trunk was full of holes, with no sign of life.

"The energy resistance of the ghost tree demon is very high. The burning damage caused by my light flame gun is pitifully low. Most of the damage comes from piercing."

Sensing the information from the thrown flame spear, Kizaru explained.

No matter how powerful the Hellfire is, it is an energy-based skill, which makes it impossible to kill the Ghost Tree Demon.

Akainu moved his lips but said nothing, and his face visibly darkened.

if we assume,
Even the ghost tree demon that guards the boss's territory can resist his own hellfire.

The energy resistance of the Dark Gold Boss [Tree Demon Grandma] will only become stronger, and his strongest Hellfire Demon killing move may be like a tickle.

Smoker grasped the key point and frowned, saying, "Something is wrong. The intelligence sent back by the navy scouts earlier did not say that the ghost tree demon has extremely strong energy resistance."

That is because of some special reasons that the ghost tree demon develops energy resistance.

"found it!"

Orochimaru suddenly raised his head, and a hint of surprise appeared in his golden snake eyes.

The remaining dead snakes sent back news and found special buildings related to the dryad's territory.

The Navy Alliance squad moved quickly.
Follow the giant pioneer closely and move forward to avoid losing your sense of direction and getting lost in the black fog.

quickly,

A lush forest appeared before everyone's eyes.

A long-abandoned county town, covered by forests...or rather, swallowed up by them.

The dense tree branches smashed the backbones of the houses, and the tree roots broke through the earth, like big hands, tightly grasping the entire county.

[Guobei County (abandoned)]: The boss's territory occupied by the tree demon grandma. A battle will occur after entering.

"Before we even get close, we can already sense a strong demonic aura. The navy scouts' intelligence is correct. The tree demon is definitely a dark gold-level boss."

Iron Fist Garp frowned.

My senses have been blocked by the black fog. Logically speaking, it is impossible for me to sense the evil spirit from hundreds of meters away.

However, this demonic energy was already strong enough to penetrate the black fog and was captured by his martial arts heart. The demonic energy was so strong that he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.

"Look, there are actually living people in Guobei County..."

In this tree demon forest, even the black fog nearby gradually thinned, allowing the Navy Alliance team to see the situation in Guobei County clearly.

Everyone looked over when they heard the sound, and their gazes suddenly froze.

In the middle of countless wandering ghost tree monsters, stood a thin young man.

The young man was wearing an old faded cloth robe and carrying a bamboo basket full of curled account books.

The white mask obscures his face, making it impossible to see clearly, and he is dressed like a scholar.

[Ning Caichen (Fallen)]: One of the fateful endings in the world of "A Chinese Ghost Story". He was a scholar favored by fate, but fell into depravity and became a [Scholar in Demonic Clothing].

Special attributes: The Demonic Scholar can greatly enhance the energy resistance of dark monsters in the boss's territory.

Tip: Killing the monster in the Black Fog World can prevent it from waking up in the "A Chinese Ghost Story" world and reduce the difficulty of the main quest.

"So that's it!"

Orochimaru's eyes flickered, and he quickly figured out why the tree demon's energy resistance had become stronger.

Without hesitation, everyone began to prepare to hunt the [Magic Scholar] that had transformed from Guobei County.

"A world as thoroughly polluted as A Chinese Ghost Story, including the River of Destiny, is not immune..."

Fang Yi shook his head helplessly.

In a world that has not been completely polluted, at most a tree demon will appear. It is a villain in itself and will degenerate very quickly after being lured by the polluted world.

But that’s all.

However, if even the river of destiny is polluted, not only will the tree demon appear, but different destiny lines will also be triggered.

Just like the scholar Ning Caichen who escaped from the dead in the original novel, the plot of the river of fate collapsed because of pollution.

Instead of waiting for Yan Chixia, the demon slayer, the timid him fled alone and eventually became the top scholar in the imperial examination. However, the memories of Lanruo Temple and the female ghost Xiaoqian kept lingering in his mind like a nightmare. Finally, he could not bear the torture and fell into the devil's trap and became the "Scholar in Demonic Clothes".

"If the Navy Alliance team recklessly breaks into the world of A Chinese Ghost Story, the dark gold-level boss won't just be the tree demon..."

"The scholar in devil's clothes, the warrior with ghost's face, the Taoist with devil's heart, and the ghost in wedding dress will all appear."

Fortunately, Huangquan Road helps the undead complete their obsession tasks, barely leaving players with the impression that there is a level with a plot flow.

Otherwise, if Iron Fist Garp led the charge, this group of top players would probably be wiped out.

"Earth Dragon Seal Demon Killer!"

Borsalino jumped high, clenched his hands, and a golden light condensed out. A golden flame gun as thick as a millstone and more than ten meters long burst out.

The air was torn apart, and the golden light flowed continuously, finally converging into a ferocious golden dragon head.

boom.

A large number of ghost tree monsters were smashed into the ground by the Light Flame Dragon Spear. The golden light spread out like water waves. The ghost tree monsters that were touched by the golden light had their bodies shattered as if they were pierced by countless sharp blades.

Obstacles are cleared.

The others moved quickly, approaching the scholar wearing a white mask.

Just when they came to a hundred meters in front of the [Magic Clothed Scholar], a ripple of time and space spread out, and the Navy Alliance team seemed to crash into the lake and disappeared.

……

When everyone came to their senses,
They had already appeared outside a grand mansion with high gates, a large courtyard, green walls, and vermilion gates inlaid with golden door nails, which looked luxurious and imposing.

Night is coming.

Raindrops as big as beans fell with a crackling sound, dark clouds covered the sky, and the sound of thunder continued to be heard.

"Perception restored?"

Iron Fist Garp, who possesses the [Heart of a Warrior], was the first to discover that something was wrong. His sealed perception ability had been fully restored in this world.

Smoker's face was solemn, and he said, "If I'm not mistaken, this special space is the hiding place of the [Magic Clothed Scholar]."

"Want to fight?"

Karp suddenly punched the air, and the air around him became stagnant, with streams of air continuously spreading outwards.

After the new season, he had been suppressed for too long, and suddenly he unlocked the perception exclusive to warriors, and he felt excited.

"Don't act rashly. Let Orochimaru explore the way first."

Borsalino was rarely careless; this special space gave him a very dangerous feeling.

The Flame Demon summoned by Akainu was too conspicuous to be suitable for investigation.

Neither Smoker nor Garp had any means of exploring the way, and now the only one left was Orochimaru's Death Curse Snake.

"of course."

Orochimaru did not refuse nor did he make any conditions. After all, they were now temporary teammates who had signed a team contract.

Two black snakes twisted their bodies and drilled into the gap of the Ning Mansion's gate.

Click.

Before he could get a clear look at the scene inside the mansion, the Death Curse Snake had already lost its reaction.

crunch...

The gate of Ning Mansion slowly opened.

A black shadow raised his leg, stepped over the threshold, stood at the door as if welcoming everyone, and made a gesture to invite them in.

It was an old woman, hunched over like a cooked shrimp, wearing a silk brocade robe that was obviously ill-fitting, covering her palms and resting on the ground.

Everyone looked alert, staring closely at the figure who opened the door, ready to take action at any time.

"Welcome, my master Ning Caichen has been waiting for you for a long time..."
