Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 891 - 799: Netherworld Cave’s Eerie Incident (Part 3)

"Hiss..." Qu Luming drew in a sharp breath. "With this proof, they should believe you now, right?"

She shook her head and said, "At that time, I just felt a chill run over my scalp. I instinctively turned to look at the Little Ghost Cultivator, only to find a strange smile on his face, as if some kind of conspiracy had succeeded!

The other Daoists realized it too. Even though they were a bit far and couldn't see exactly where they appeared from, the same eerie scene happened twice, so anyone would know something was amiss."

"If I had been there, I would have directly killed all three of them." Yan Xuan scratched his shell with a small claw, snorting coldly. "Hesitation in crucial moments always leads to disaster."

Qu Luming furrowed his brow and muttered, "Killing them to test it out would be a way, but there's a high chance they might reappear after being killed. Acting rashly without understanding the full situation isn't the best plan, in my opinion."

Jiang Yuan glanced at the opponent's health bar again, thinking to himself that being so injured probably meant they had fought, and yet the side with more Ghost Cultivators did not gain the upper hand.

"In the Netherworld, which Ghost Cultivator hasn't been through countless battles to make a name for themselves? Once realizing something is wrong, of course, the first step is to silence them, ensuring everyone's safety." Tang Qin's eyes turned red again as she used a cloth to wipe the bloody tears from the corners of her eyes and said helplessly, "But even before we could make a move, those three acted first! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been this injured.

As for their methods, those fakes that appeared again weren't all that sophisticated. They seemed more like replicas of the ones who self-destructed in death.

The problem is, no matter how many times we killed them, they would reappear from another place after a moment, acting as if nothing had happened, trying to blend in with us.

When they found we were too alert and wouldn't accept them, failing to infiltrate us, they would fly into a rage and attack us instead.

If any unfortunate Daoist was gravely injured and unable to escape, before they could even die, they would swarm and devour them. Then, another identical counterfeit would emerge and join their ranks!"

Qu Luming broke out in a cold sweat, "Tang Qin, you wouldn't..."

"Rest assured, she's the original Ghost Cultivator I know, not a copy." Jiang Yuan, with his own appraisal ability, ensured that if the Tang Qin in front had a problem, the system would have already alerted him.

The other party hurriedly explained, "Senior, please be assured, I am definitely not one of those eerie things. Back then, we didn't have the luxury to think of anything else, fighting and retreating in hopes of finding help, or else being devoured and assimilated was only a matter of time.

But in the end... outnumbered, the survivors could only flee desperately.

I exhausted all my means, severely injured, then got separated from the other Daoists. I was hiding near the Yellow Springs, waiting for death, but Senior painstakingly tracked the aura of the Magical Treasure I carried to rescue me back."

She spat out an Elixir Pill from her mouth. Upon opening it, inside was a piece of satin as thin as green smoke, marked with detailed terrain and routes. "This is the map I risked my life to explore inside. Not sure if Senior could find it useful?"

Jiang Yuan saw a prompt flash in his vision, causing his brows to furrow unconsciously. He would have to make a trip to the Netherworld Cave in the future.

Yan Xuan immediately asked, "Could it be that you really encountered something eerie? Is it possible that the abandoned and sealed land had long been contaminated by the eerie? Those self-destructing Ghost Cultivators behaved abnormally because they were tainted, and after they exploded, the eerie things imitated and impersonated them?"
