Chapter 1783 - 1780: Ghost Baby!
After driving away the crab monster, Li Chen and Dragon Girl advanced forward.
Soon, they encountered another group of sea pythons.
These pythons were truly massive in size, and their numbers were in the tens of thousands.
Even Dragon Girl, a true dragon, felt a chill down her spine upon seeing them.
Li Chen noticed Dragon Girl was a bit tense, so he gently patted her shoulder and advised, "Don’t get caught in battle, get through quickly!"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Dragon Girl’s tense heart relaxed.
She nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at grains.
"Follow me closely!"
After speaking, Li Chen brandished the Chi Dragon Divine Spear and made a fierce thrust.
The sea pythons blocking the path were all pierced through.
In an instant, blood spurted everywhere, a ghastly scene.
Though the sea pythons weren’t strong individually, their numbers were excessively terrifying, amounting to tens of thousands.
Moreover, stimulated by the blood of their companions, each python charged forward like moths to a flame.
Seeing this, Li Chen quickly clasped his hands and conjured the Jiuzhou Divine Tripod.
Immediately, he controlled it with his mind, transforming it into a towering mountain, pressing down fiercely on the sea pythons.
"Boom!"
The Jiuzhou Divine Tripod instantly crushed hundreds of sea pythons, flesh flying, terribly gruesome.
Then, Li Chen swapped the Chi Dragon Divine Spear for the Mystic Iron Heavy Sword.
His attacks were bold and straightforward, leaving a trail of death and destruction.
This way, Li Chen led Dragon Girl, slaughtering thousands of sea pythons, successfully passing through this deadly zone.
After traversing the sea pythons’ territory, their journey was filled with thrilling danger.
Occasionally, they would be harassed by parasitic sea monsters, but most were not a match for Li Chen and Dragon Girl.
After advancing tens of thousands of miles, Li Chen’s brows furrowed slightly.
"So strange!"
Dragon Girl, curious like a child, asked, "What’s strange?"
Li Chen pondered for a moment, responding, "We’ve traveled over forty to fifty miles without encountering a single parasitic sea beast; it’s quite abnormal!"
Dragon Girl was repulsed by those parasitic sea beasts, wishing they would never appear.
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, she immediately pursed her lips and said, "Well, I find it strange that these disgusting parasitic sea beasts not appearing is actually advantageous for us, right?"
Li Chen’s expression was serious as he said, "But there shouldn’t be no parasitic sea beast at all; it’s too abnormal!"
Dragon Girl saw Li Chen’s serious expression and realized he wasn’t joking, so she glanced around.
At this time, she noticed something unusual.
Indeed, something was off!
Though she couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.
As Dragon Girl tilted her head, thinking deeply, a very eerie sound of a crying baby suddenly echoed.
This startled Dragon Girl, who instinctively grabbed Li Chen’s arm, nervously asking, "Did you hear the sound of a baby crying?"
Li Chen nodded and replied, "I heard it; it’s the Ghost Baby!"
"Ghost Baby?"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s response, Dragon Girl’s eyes widened with shock.
Before she could recover from her shock, a ghost-faced doll with blood-red eyes and wearing a blood-red bellyband suddenly appeared in front of her.
The doll’s eyes were exceedingly large, occupying a third of its face.
They were hollow, leaving traces of blood, extremely terrifying.
Witnessing such a horrific sight, Dragon Girl jumped, instinctively pinching Li Chen’s arm.
"Is this the Ghost Baby? How can it be so terrifying?"
The Ghost Baby said nothing, didn’t cry again, just stared with hollow eyes.
It remained silent, and neither did Li Chen nor Dragon Girl speak.
Both sides maintained a direct gaze at each other.
Until Dragon Girl couldn’t bear it any longer and let out a shriek.
As Dragon Girl’s scream rang out, the Ghost Baby suddenly opened its mouth, crying loudly.
With its cry, countless vengeful spirits surged like a mighty tide.
These vengeful spirits were bloodthirsty, and upon seeing Li Chen and Dragon Girl, they pounced fiercely.
Seeing this scene, Li Chen finally understood why the region within thousands of miles was dead silent, devoid of any life.
It was because they had all turned into vengeful spirits.
Undoubtedly, these were all the work of the Ghost Baby.
"These ghostly creatures, transformed from parasitic sea beasts, will parasitize hosts until their essence blood is completely drained. Ensure they don’t get close!"
Seeing this scene, Li Chen immediately warned Dragon Girl.
Dragon Girl saw Li Chen’s seriousness and understood the terror of these ghostly creatures, daring not underestimate them.
Immediately, she produced a Dragon Ball, forming a golden bubble that enveloped herself.
Li Chen, meanwhile, leaped into the air, heading straight for the Ghost Baby.
He knew in his heart that these vengeful spirits were puppets controlled by the Ghost Baby.
As long as he could slay the Ghost Baby, these ghostly creatures would dissipate.
The Ghost Baby seemed to perceive Li Chen’s intent, and its crying intensified.
As the Ghost Baby’s cry echoed, those vengeful spirits appeared summoned, changing direction to surround Li Chen.
Hundreds and thousands of ghostly creatures rushed fiercely, exhaling malevolent energy.
As these ghostly creatures neared within a hundred meters, a vicious, terrifying ghost face emerged from the enveloping black mist.
The ghost face opened its bloody mouth, spewing a black flame towards Li Chen.
This was the Ghostly Ghost Fire, though called fire, it was an ice-cold entity that, once inside a body, would devour the vitality of living beings until the host became a lifeless zombie like them.
"Hmph, just with this Ghostly Ghost Fire, you dare flaunt before me?"
Li Chen finished speaking, his palm condensed an orange flame.
The flame transformed into a glittering Fire Dragon, charging forward.
"Boom!"
The Fire Dragon and ghost fire collided in midair, immediately exploding with crackling sounds.
In just one face-off, the ghost fire couldn’t withstand Li Chen’s flame and was completely suppressed.
The Fire Dragon pressed its advantage, diving into the ghostly creature’s midst.
Followed by a hideous chorus of ghostly wails.
The creatures were incinerated by the intense flames, disintegrating in moments.
After incinerating the obstructing monsters, Li Chen unleashed the Chi Dragon Divine Spear, like a comet striking the moon, thrusting towards the Ghost Baby.
