Chapter 205 – Six Path Ravenous Ghosts
Teaser
Translator: Mr Voltaire
Editor: Modlawls123
Ghosts, who had ashen faces and wore tattered clothing, appeared, and they gave off a gloomy and cold aura. They appeared like an army of ants and gathered so densely that it was impossible to see how many of them there were.
“Ghost attack!” A large shout caused the entirety of Great Qin’s aura to freeze and become incredibly tense as soldiers and residents quickly started moving.
Figures quickly appeared on the town walls. Goblin Warriors raised their large shields, Gnome Arbalists and Archers held their crossbows and bows, Kobolds gripped their spears…
Everyone entered a battle state!
Zhao Fu also went up onto the town wall and looked at the Ghosts in the distance. There were roughly 30,000 Ghosts in total, but that was only for this side of the wall. There were around 30,000 for each of the other sides, which was around 120,000 in total.
Facing such a figure, no one dared to be careless. What’s more, this was the first battle of the night, and one could only imagine how terrifying the subsequent battles would be.
Countless ghostly howls once again tore through the air as the Ghosts rushed towards the Great Qin Town. As the Ghosts entered the attacking range, arrows started to rain down on them.
Chi, chi, chi…
Normal Ghosts who were hit instantly disintegrated into traces of ghostly qi. Unlike before, even if these arrows didn’t hit the Ghosts in their vitals, they could still kill them. What’s more, these arrows could even pierce two Ghosts. This was because not only were the arrows made of peach wood and dipped in black dog’s blood, but there was also a Ghost-Slaying Talisman stuck onto each of them. Zhao Fu had bought 15 million talismans, and most of them were Ghost-Slaying Talismans.
Each talisman paper cost 20 copper coins, and with the peach wood and Yang-attribute blood, each arrow costs around 30 copper coins. In the real world, each arrow would cost Zhao Fu $300 – what the Archers were shooting weren’t just arrows but also bundles of money.
While Zhao Fu had spent a massive amount of money, the effects were also massive. In just one wave of arrows, they had killed almost 20% of the horde.
The Ghosts continued to rush up without any reservations, and another wave of arrows shot out, leaving only half of the Ghosts remaining. By now, the terrifying Ghost horde had reached the town walls, but the Ghosts didn’t dare to touch them.
Zhao Fu had madly stuck so many talisman papers to the town walls that it was impossible to see even an inch of the actual town wall. To the Ghosts, the town wall was a massive piece of red-hot iron. A Devil Ghost roared, and an eerie ghostly qi erupted from its body as it swiped its claws towards the town walls.
“Roarrr!!!” The Devil Ghost’s claws seemed to have come into contact with red-hot iron, and the Devil Ghost gave off traces of white smoke as it sizzled. The Devil Ghost screamed as it retreated.
