Chapter 69 Ghoul

  Oli always held the positioning and tracking compass in his hand. According to the mark left by the Nine-headed Lion King in the compass, he could grasp the whereabouts of the Nine-headed Lion King. The yellow light flashing in the compass was the location and direction of the Nine-headed Lion King's escape.

  Suddenly, Oli stopped.

  "How is it possible? The Nine-headed Lion King suddenly disappeared from the compass. I can't find its location." Oli said in surprise.

  "Has the Nine-headed Lion King escaped from the range of the compass tracking, or is your compass broken?" Som said close to Oli.

  Adolf also came over to look at the compass in Oli's hand, only to see that the surface of the tracking compass was pitch black and there was nothing. The three ninth-level strongmen looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with this situation.

  "There is a possibility that the Nine-headed Lion King is dead." Adolf said leisurely.

  "What, a ninth-level monster just died like this?" Oli said in surprise.

  "Hmph, what's so strange about a king-level monster dying in a place where ghouls are infested!" Adolf said with disdain.

  Aoli glared at Som, and they both found fear in each other's eyes.

  It is said that the Nine-Headed Lion King is dead, and they can withdraw from the Netherworld, but they are about to obtain the magic crystal core of the Nine-Headed Lion King. They will feel very undignified to withdraw from the ghouls' territory in such a cowardly way.

  "Everyone, stop first, I see something in front of me." Som suddenly shouted.

  Adolf and Aoli stopped and looked ahead. Sure enough, a blood-red object was vaguely visible in the empty black fog. It floated in the air and looked bright and terrifying.

  The miserable screams of ghosts seemed to float in the air.

  "It's just a stone tablet, no need to make a fuss." Adolf said. "But, I smell a strong smell of death, corrosive, with rotten meat, as if it is the disgusting smell of a corpse being decomposed." Som said in a sharp voice again.

  "It is the smell of the corpse of the Nine-headed Lion King. It is lying not far ahead. It is estimated that it was killed by the ghouls and the remaining flesh and bones were gnawed, attracting many flies to devour its remaining corpse." Adolf said in a deep voice.

  "Then has its magic crystal core also been plundered by the ghouls!" Aoli said with a pale face.

  "Not necessarily, maybe the ghouls are not interested in magic crystal cores." Adolf said.

  "Then let's move forward quickly, and immediately exit the Netherworld after getting the magic crystal core of the Nine-headed Lion King." Aoli said loudly.

  "Humph, I have seen the words on the stone tablet in front, which says 'Those who enter the Netherworld without permission will die'." Adolf snorted coldly.

  "That's nothing to be afraid of. At most, we can compete with the ghouls." Sachs behind said with encouragement.

  "Yes, we move in and out quickly." Aoli said loudly. Adolf remained silent, shook his wand slightly, and activated the ninth-level light holy armor.

  At this moment, everyone in the team activated the guardian holy armor and stepped forward gently.

  Just 300 meters ahead, a brilliant golden color flashed in a place surrounded by a dense black airflow. It was the light left by the body of the nine-headed lion king. And where the light was concentrated, thousands of big-headed flies were buzzing.

  A disgusting smell of decay.

  Oli mustered up his courage and walked in front. Gradually, he saw the body of the nine-headed lion king clearly.

  There was a pile of rotten flesh and blood on the body, and bits of broken bones were scattered with blood, and greedy flies were sticking to the remaining flesh and bones with relish.

  The once arrogant nine-headed lion king has now become a miserable sight.

  Aoli stretched out his left palm, causing a whirlwind to fly on his palm. He slapped the body of the Nine-headed Lion King and used the strong wind to sweep over and drive away the flying flies.

  The remains of the Nine-headed Lion King flew with the whirlwind, emitting a stronger stench.

  But he did not find the Nine-headed Lion King's magic crystal core.

  "Hehehe..." Suddenly, a strange and weird laugh sounded.

  "Humph, damn human, are you looking for the Nine-headed Lion King's magic crystal core?" A strange voice similar to a machine said.

  Aoli raised his head suddenly, and saw a head with red hair and green face emerging from the light of the black airflow, with two rows of sharp teeth and a pair of bloodshot eyes.

  Then, from both sides of the green head, two or three similar strange heads emerged.

  Then, more and more strange heads appeared, and the bodies below the heads began to emerge. They were monsters with human faces and animal bodies. Some looked like wolfhounds, some looked like spiders, and some looked like flying eagles...

  If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

  "It's a ghoul." Adolf said with a breath of cold air.

  "Everyone, quickly form a defensive formation." Som shouted.

  "Hey, no need to defend, you will all die in the netherworld." The ghoul with a similar mechanical voice said.

  Then, it floated out. It was a red-skinned monster with a human-like shape, with two narrow and black wings spread on its back. He held a snake-like twisted magic wand in his right hand and a yellow magic crystal core in his left hand.

  The magic crystal core held was the magic crystal core of the nine-headed lion king.

  From this, it can be inferred that this red-skinned ghoul is the leader of this team of ghouls. He can hold the magic crystal core of the nine-headed lion king. It is estimated that his strength will not be lower than level nine, and he may even be a level nine extreme master.

  "Dear Mr. Ghoul, we don't intend to enter the Netherworld. We just want the magic crystal core of the Nine-Headed Lion King. We can get it at any price." Aoli said with a trembling voice.

  "Haha, this group of humans wants to bargain on our territory." The red-skinned ghoul laughed.

  "Boom boom... hehe..." The ghouls around laughed in unison.

  Aoli's face changed. From the laughter coming from all around, it can be heard that the number of ghouls in this team is no less than 200, and they are surrounded in a circling way.

  In this dark and twisted space, so many ghouls have surrounded them all by some unknown method.

  "Captain Aoli, we don't have to be afraid of them. With our team of nearly 100 people, it is entirely possible to take back the king-level magic crystal core from these ghouls." Sachs said.

  As he spoke, Sachs shook his wand, and a bright light of light appeared. He pointed forward, and the light of light hit the red-skinned ghoul like a circle.

  But the red-skinned ghoul did not dodge. The light of light hit the red-skinned ghoul without any reaction or sound, and the light magic disappeared.

  "A mere level 8 light magic wants to do nothing to my level 9 ghoul. Haha..." The red-skinned ghoul laughed strangely.

  "Brothers, line up, charge..." Aoli raised his sword and shouted.

  In an instant, the guards led by Aoli took off, fighting spirit splashed, and rushed towards the row of ghouls in front. And Aoli had already transformed his giant sword into two rows of ten-meter-long sword beams, rolling towards the standing ghoul in front.

  However, the self-proclaimed ninth-level vampire Wu Li, without any movement, rolled out a vast blood light, completely covering the sword light drawn by Aoli. As the blood light surged, Aoli's sword light disappeared, replaced by blood light scattered all over Aoli.

  The blood light was unknown, but once it was sprinkled on Aoli's Dou Qi Holy Armor, it immediately bit the Dou Qi Holy Armor like a corpse-eating insect, and made a loud "clang" sound. Almost in an instant, it bit off the outermost yellow part of Aoli's Dou Qi Holy Armor.

  As for the other guards, they had already been fighting with many ghouls.

  These ghouls were generally gray-green, with unusually long claws. Some held saw teeth, some held axes, and some held hook guns. Their attack speed was very fast, and they had no concept of death. Once they rushed up, they would die together with the enemy.

  So in just a moment, four or five Royal Guard Knights wailed and died. Although it can destroy the soul fire of the ghouls, it is not worth the loss.

  "Students, use your flame magic to burn these hateful ghouls." Adolf raised his staff and shouted.

  As the saying goes, lips and teeth are cold, if a group of Royal Guard Knights die, all of them, the Sun Trial students, will die here.

  "Light God Beam..."

  "Flame Bullet..."

  "Wind Hundred Arrows..."

  "Earth Spikes..."

  In an instant, dozens of Sun Magic students all used long-range attack explosion magic. The seven magic systems mixed together like a vast magic wave, rolling towards the ghouls.

  At this time, sharp humming sound waves began to sound all around, but the ghouls began to collectively surround and kill with their unique charge signal.

  Only the ghostly footsteps, the ghouls' screams, and the sound of wings flapping could be heard.

  Before the agile ghouls approached, hundreds of arrows were already shot at the trial team.

  These arrows shot by the flying ghouls were green. Once they hit the magician's guardian armor, a mysterious green flame flashed immediately, making a "puff" sound, and then the entire guardian armor was covered and burned.

  The guardian armor of magicians below level 6 actually lost energy very quickly under the burning of green flames.

  Fortunately, under Adolf's calm command, the long-range attacks of various magic systems were like a sea of ??fire, temporarily preventing the ghouls from rushing in strongly, but seeing so many ghouls surrounding and killing them, close combat was only a matter of time.
