Chapter 2168: Yin Bat!
Zhou Yu’s pupils slightly contracted upon seeing this scene.
The densely packed gray lights were the same type of demons that had emerged from the Yellow Springs River earlier.
Initially, there was only one, making it hard to discern anything.
Now, thousands burst out together, creating a scene that sent shivers down one’s spine.
At this moment, the outermost circle of Ghost Mastiffs had been instantly pierced, transforming into sieves.
The Ghost Mastiffs on the inside began to launch spell attacks.
However, Six Wings, Ghost Master, Shiva, and Mrs. Mu remained calm.
It seemed they had already anticipated this.
As time went on, the number of Yellow Springs demons began to gradually decrease.
After all, they were merely low-level demons, not particularly strong.
Once all the demons had been eliminated, around half of the hundreds of Ghost Mastiffs had been lost.
Ghost Master continued to control the Ghost Mastiffs, pushing them into the passage.
Witnessing this, Zhou Yu immediately understood.
Ghost Master had refined so many Ghost Mastiffs precisely to pioneer the way.
Within a short span, these Ghost Mastiffs had traversed one-third of the journey.
At that moment.
Another mutation occurred.
Suddenly, black mass-like entities appeared on both sides of the passage.
They resembled clusters of mist.
Yet emitted an extremely piercing sound.
Like the howl of fierce ghosts.
Upon appearing, these black mists immediately rushed towards the Ghost Mastiffs.
Upon contact, the black mists enveloped the entire bodies of the Ghost Mastiffs, making them struggle desperately.
As if being choked.
Soon after, black cracks began to form on the surface of the Ghost Mastiffs’ bodies.
When these cracks widened to a certain extent, the bodies of the Ghost Mastiffs silently perished.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu’s expression hardened.
He then immediately activated the Eye of Destruction.
With the Eye of Destruction’s enhancement, he finally saw through the black mist.
It turned out that within each black mist was a small creature resembling a bat.
These creatures latched onto the heads of the Ghost Mastiffs, piercing their bodies with long fangs.
Thus, the Ghost Mastiffs became like this.
"These are Yin Bats!"
Mrs. Mu’s voice resonated in Zhou Yu’s ear.
Simultaneously, as Mrs. Mu’s voice rang out, Six Wings gave a command.
His subordinates quickly formed a formation, and instantly fire energy attacks were unleashed toward the Yin Bats.
The Yin Bats, against which the Ghost Mastiffs had no means of counterattack, suffered heavy casualties under the overwhelming fire energy.
Half of the black mists vanished in an instant.
After several rounds of assault, the Yin Bats finally disappeared completely.
At that point, there were less than fifty Ghost Mastiffs remaining.
Ghost Master remained expressionless and continued to direct the Ghost Mastiffs forward.
Watching as the Ghost Mastiffs approached the center of the passage.
Suddenly.
The entire passage began to tremble violently.
Soon, streams of black qi, like vines, rapidly spread from the other end of the passage.
In an instant, most of the Ghost Mastiffs were devoured.
Seeing this, Mrs. Mu’s eyes flickered with a glint.
"Now’s the time!"
"Don’t let it escape!"
Mrs. Mu instantly launched the spell she had been charging.
At the same moment, Six Wings, Shiva, and Ghost Master, who hadn’t taken action previously, joined in.
All four, being Integration Realm experts, naturally acted with immense momentum.
In a flash, four devastating attacks surged forward.
The black qi flow was immediately disrupted.
Sensing the terrifying attacks, the black qi flow seemed to have Spiritual Wisdom and began retreating.
However, Mrs. Mu and the others were prepared, each throwing a magic treasure resembling a rope.
The rope-like magic treasures transformed into four strands of Spiritual Light, instantly probing into the deepest part of the passage.
Moments later, Mrs. Mu shouted out.
"Caught it."
"Retrieve!"
With Mrs. Mu’s command, all four began using spells to retract the rope-like magic treasures.
However, from the other end of the passage, within the endless darkness, something seemed to be resisting frantically.
Despite their combined strength, they couldn’t retract the magic treasures immediately.
After roughly three minutes of stalemate, suddenly from the passage’s end, dozens of streams of Netherworld soul energy shot forth.
Mrs. Mu, seeing this, immediately shouted:
"Zhou Yu, act quickly to block these Netherworld soul energies!"
At this moment, a cold glint flashed in Zhou Yu’s eyes.
The four were clearly occupied and unable to act.
If he chose not to act, they would surely be struck by the Netherworld soul energy, giving him a chance to escape.
Yet, upon reconsideration, Zhou Yu quickly dismissed the idea.
It was too risky.
Firstly, Zhou Yu had no idea whether the four possessed other means to resist the Netherworld soul energy.
Furthermore, for the Netherworld soul energy to take effect, some time is required.
During this period, they had full opportunity to target him.
More importantly, given the current circumstances, he couldn’t leave independently with his power alone.
In a split-second decision, Zhou Yu chose to act.
He raised his hand and struck out a palm, and the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder transformed into a Thunder Net, blasting towards the Netherworld soul energy.
The dozens of streams of Netherworld soul energy were instantly obliterated by the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder.
At this moment, Mrs. Mu and the others finally started to gain the upper hand.
The rope-like magic treasures were steadily being retracted.
Zhou Yu was intently focused on the other end.
Moments later, he finally saw clearly.
The other end of the rope was attached to a demon creature entirely white.
However, its body was heavily laden with deathly qi, evidently a kind of Netherworld demon creature.
As this demon creature came into view, Mrs. Mu instantly dashed forward, appearing right before the demon.
She then produced a long knife in her hand.
Mrs. Mu wielded the long knife and struck down fiercely.
The demon creature was immediately severed in two by Mrs. Mu’s strike.
Immediately afterward, Zhou Yu didn’t even see clearly, Mrs. Mu swiftly extracted something from the demon’s head and stored it in her Storage Ring.
After completing this action, Mrs. Mu returned to the group.
At this moment, a smile appeared on her face.
"Got it."
Six Wings and the other three also showed excited smiles.
"Very good."
"So far, everything is as planned!"
Six Wings then spoke.
"My subordinates have crossed the passage."
"There are no issues with the remaining path."
"Seems like we’re quite fortunate this time."
"Several formidable demons haven’t appeared."
"Let’s proceed quickly."
After speaking, Six Wings took the lead, rushing into the passage.
The others followed closely behind...
