Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 297 Wolf-Shaped Ghost Beast

"Roar" The wild beasts roared endlessly, making the mountains and forests uneasy.

The soldiers and civilians on duty on the brightly lit wall of the village heard the sound and became solemn and ready for battle.

They were holding swords and shields, bows and arrows, and spears, and they scanned the darkness around them with firm and vigilant eyes.

Their heartbeats, mixed with the roars of beasts in the forests, seemed to be playing a thrilling piece of music together.

In the sky, eagles are patrolling, their eyes as sharp as blades, piercing through the darkness, looking for any potential threats.

Their existence makes this night more solemn while also giving people a sense of security.

On this special night, the villagers can no longer live and work in peace as usual.

The men assisted in the defense, while the women gathered under the village wall and on the village roads, ready to take orders at all times, with a look of fear and determination on their faces.

They chanted something, praying for the protection of the temple guards and praying to spend the Ghost Festival safely.

"Roar" the roar of wild beasts followed by the howling of cold wind opened the horrific prelude to the ghost robbery. It seemed that there were monsters attacking. The sounds of fierce fighting and energy fluctuations rose and fell in the mountains and forests, as if an explosion occurred.

"Ga ga" the huge black figure roared back, and in its claws there was a ferocious gray figure struggling and roaring.

With a "bang", Heizi landed next to the Yanfeng Pavilion.

It was ordered to investigate the enemy situation and find an opportunity to capture a ghost beast so that it could know itself and the enemy and win every battle.

"Shua, swish, swish" Shang Liangshan and others looked at the ghost beast under Heizi's claws.

Under the light, the ghost beast was struggling and roaring under the claws, its face was distorted and terrifying, its eyes were flashing cold green light, full of violence and cruelty.

Its head is like a wolf, but its appearance is extremely ferocious. Its teeth are as sharp as knives and look extremely ferocious, as if it is ready to bite its prey at any time.

Its skin is dry and wrinkled, covered with strange lines, and its fur is sparse and exudes a cold and chilly aura.

Its limbs are thick and powerful, its claws are sharp, exuding a fierce and deadly aura, and its body is muscular and contains great power.

"Roar" the ghost beast let out a violent roar, its eyes turned bloodshot, gray air appeared all over its body, and it struggled violently. The rock wall was scratched by its black claws, and sparks splashed.

"Bang" Heizi pressed the wolf-like ghost beast against the rock wall with his sharp claws, causing a "crackling" sound of bones breaking in its body.

"Roar" The ghost beast was not afraid of being injured, but instead let out an even more violent roar.

This scene made the old patriarch and others frown. This ghost beast was really too ferocious.

"Kill him." Shang Liangshan said calmly.

Heizi nodded, and his sharp black bird beak pierced through the wolf-shaped ghost beast's head as fast as lightning, ending its life and swallowing it into his stomach.

"What does black spots taste like?" Yihuo asked curiously.

Heizi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Haha, do you want to try it?"

"No, no, no." Yihuo shook his head.

"Haha, the ghost beast smells pretty good. The ghost energy contained in its body is very suitable for me and my two little brothers to devour and refine."

"It's also suitable as a mount." Shang Liangshan murmured.

Liu Weizi and others heard this...

It is true that like disciple, like master.

The old patriarch couldn't help but ask curiously, "Liangshan, are you going to transform the ghost wolf beast into a mount for the spirit guard?"

"Well, I want to give it a try." Shang Liangshan nodded without comment. Once the transformation is successful, he can create spiritual cavalry, and then the spiritual guards can roam the mountains and rivers.

However, to figure out how to transform it, you need to try it out carefully.

"Master, can you transform some ghost birds into Heizi's subordinates?" Heizi said flatteringly.

"Ghost bird?" the old patriarch asked.

"Yes, there are quite a lot of ghost birds. They should be the outposts of the ghost beast army. There are no less than a hundred of them."

"Wait, an army of ghost beasts? What does that mean?" the old patriarch asked, grasping the key point.

"Haha, it literally means that there are many ghost beasts wreaking havoc in the mountains and forests and fighting against the monsters. They appear from nowhere, densely packed, and attack in groups. The ghost wolf beast just now is the race that commands the ghost beast army, and the ghost bird is Kong Shao..." Heizi began to talk about the news he had discovered.

As it spoke, the faces of the people in the pavilion became more and more serious.

An army of ghost beasts is much more terrifying than a tide of ghosts.

After Heizi finished his story, Yihuo asked, "Does this count as grabbing territory?"

"It's more than just a grab for territory, it's an invasion, and an invasion for hunting blood and food. No wonder the elders asked us to kill ghosts and steal their luck." Liu Weizi said with some enlightenment.

"It seems that in this year's ghost calamity, our opponent will be the invading army of ghost beasts." Shang Liangshan said, knocking on the table.

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this, because ghosts are also food for ghosts.

"Heizi, how far is the ghost beast army from us?" Yifeng looked at Heizi and asked.

"Haha, the roars we heard outside the hunting grounds were actually the monsters recruiting other beasts, causing a fight."

"Damn it! The group of monsters came to the hunting ground to recruit beasts. They are going to cut off our meat supply." Yihuo cursed angrily when he heard this.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Yes, it was too unkind of for the monster group to behave like this.

"Luck, luck?" Shang Liangshan didn't know what he was thinking of. He murmured twice, looked at Liu Weizi and asked, "If luck is added to one's body, will it bring some inexplicable benefits, such as rapid progress in cultivation, or some inexplicable opportunities?"

Liu Weizi was stunned when he heard this, and thought for a long time before he spoke: "There are definitely benefits to having good fortune, but after your reminder, Liangshan, I wonder if the will of the Ancient Continent will give me a reward for killing the invading ghost beasts."

“The Ancient Continent’s Consciousness Reward!” Everyone’s breathing became heavier when they heard this.

"This spirit has received the call of the will of the mountains and rivers, and is protecting the area and killing the ghost beasts!" Shang Liangshan murmured.

"Can this piece of land and mountains bring any benefit to you in Liangshan?" Liu Weizi said with shining eyes.

"Give it to me. The three underground palace camps will be protected by the will of the mountains and rivers. They can be regarded as battle fortresses."

"What should we do then?" asked the old patriarch.

"Shua, swish, swish" everyone looked at Shang Liangshan, waiting for his decision.

"The general trend is irresistible. If we in Forgotten Township want to survive, we have to fight for a glimmer of hope, so let's take the initiative." Shang Liangshan said, looking at the full moon covered by dark clouds.

"Then let's fight. We have provided enough protection for our sons. It's time to let them go out to fight." The old patriarch said firmly.

"Master Temple Spirit, please tell me how you want to fight." Yifeng stood up and saluted deeply.

"Please give us instructions, Lord Temple Spirit." The old patriarch and others stood up and bowed deeply.

"Wolf Rider!" Shang Liangshan spat out two words.

"Wolf Riders?" The old patriarch and others were stunned for a moment, then they understood.

"Will the temple guards go into battle?" Yifeng asked with a bow.

"Fight, everyone go out to fight. The wolf cavalry will attack, and the rest of you should set up numerous traps within a twenty-mile radius of Forgotten Township. Set as many traps as you can." Shang Liangshan said loudly.
