The natives can also gain strength by killing ghouls.

However, compared to players, the attributes and lifespan increase for natives killing ghouls, as well as the normal stone rewards, are far lower than those of players.

Therefore, the effort Lin Ling needs to put in to improve his strength may be ten or even dozens of times that of players.

Fortunately, Lin Ling has been stuck at the Houtian third-rate realm for quite a while, and his foundation is very solid.

In addition, the quality of the ghouls in the last two rows here is not low, which should be enough for Lin Ling to complete the accumulation of attribute points.

However, when Fang Yue used Lin Ling's hand to retract the Seven Sealing Short Sword, Fang Yue was immediately stunned.

The body of the spherical ghoul that had just been killed shriveled up like a deflated ball, wrinkled and crumpled, as if the ghoul's power had been restrained.

This corpse's condition is so strange.

Normally, after a ghoul dies, part of its corpse will break down into black stones or black embers, while the other part will remain in place, depending on the ghoul's specific situation.

However, the corpse of a ghoul killed by the Seven Sealing Short Sword is very complete, just like it has been drained of its power, becoming shriveled and dry.

Although Fang Yue found it strange, he didn't think too much about it.

He controlled Lin Ling to kill all the way, and when Qing Chen excitedly shouted that he was advancing, Lin Ling finally woke up from his daze.

He was stunned at first.

"Xiao... Yue?"

Lin Ling was still weak and seemed a little confused, somewhat oblivious to his situation.

But when his memories flooded back, he suddenly shuddered and excitedly grabbed Fang Yue's hand.

"Xiao Yue, Lord Han... Lord Han has also been captured! I saw it, Lord Han was locked in a room called Lord Mazu's room!"

Mazu?!

Lord Han!

Fang Yue's pupils shrank, and white flames burst out from his body.

Realizing that Lin Ling was still there, he quickly restrained the flames.

"Don't worry! I will definitely rescue Lord Han!"

"Yeah... I believe you... I believe..."

Lin Ling began to weaken and faint again.

Fang Yue thought for a while and insisted on letting Lin Ling kill all the remaining ghouls. Looking at Qing Chen's side, he had already been waiting beside him for a while, his face no longer having the previous bookishness, but a strange excitement and vigor.

"Boss, I feel like I've been reborn! Killing ghouls is so easy! I'm now a Houtian third-rate martial artist! Xia Xiyu probably never dreamed that I could enter the martial path too!"

Qing Chen clenched his fist excitedly, feeling endless excitement for entering the martial path for the first time and possessing this power.

Fang Yue smiled and nodded, not surprised at all.

When he entered the Xiantian realm before, his excitement when the power surged up was no less than Qing Chen's.

When Qing Chen's emotions calmed down a bit, Fang Yue handed Lin Ling over to Qing Chen.

"Boss, what are we doing now? Going out to kill ghouls? I feel like I'm so strong!"

Fang Yue: ...

If your strength was improved further, I could really hand Lin Ling over to you with peace of mind, and then I would turn around and kill my way to Ning Mansion, stand on the top of Ning Mansion, and wait for someone to come back.

But I can't.

Fang Yue really didn't feel at ease about Lin Ling.

"Do you know where there are any other exits that can be used to go out? For example, directly to the foot of the mountain, or outside? It would be best to get some horses."

Before, Fang Yue didn't know that Ning Mansion was a trap and really believed that Ning Mansion's horses were garbage.

Now that he knew about the underground stronghold, could such a huge organization not have fast horses?

"Boss, there must be horses, but it's been so long since the chaos happened, I'm afraid they've already been robbed. As for the exit, in that direction, there is a main road that leads directly from the underground stronghold to Qing Silk County, and there are also some small exits along the way..."

"Wait!"

Fang Yue's expression froze: "You just said... that the main road leads directly to Qing Silk County??"

"Yes, the underground stronghold is actually to be concealed, so there aren't that many entrances. The only one that goes directly is Qing Silk County. I asked them why it was directly to Qing Silk County, but they didn't tell me the reason, it seems to be related to Ning Lao of Ning Mansion above the stronghold, I don't know the specifics."

The reason is not important!

Fang Yue's face showed excitement.

He really didn't expect that it could go directly to Qing Silk County, so this underground stronghold was built to move back and forth between Qing Silk County and Ningguang Mountain.

Moreover, unlike the winding village roads on the ground for safety, and the original roads that avoided the mountains, as well as the appearance of various ghouls.

In this underground stronghold, according to Qing Chen, from Ningguang Mountain to Qing Silk County, it is a straight line between two points!

Ignoring any obstacles, just go all the way to the end, and when you come out, you're in Qing Silk County.

This efficiency, this shortened path, it can be said that even without Qing Silk horses, Fang Yue is confident that he can return to Qing Silk County within half a day!

"Go! Let's follow the main road first, and if we see anyone with horses on the way, we'll just grab them, and if we don't see them, we'll rely on our legs to run."

With Fang Yue carrying Lin Ling on his back and Qing Chen following, the two ran in the direction of the main road, away from Ningguang Mountain.

Along the way, they encountered two waves of ghouls.

Qing Chen excitedly immediately showed off that he was going to fight, but a ghoul directly bit off a large piece of meat from his left hand, scaring him pale, trembling all over, and shouting: "Boss, save me!!"

What could Fang Yue do? He had to take action.

After easily solving them, they continued to move forward.

Suddenly, they saw a batch of jujube red horses parked in front of them!

Both of their eyes lit up immediately.

These jujube red horses were big enough, and the three of them could squeeze on one.

To put it another way, letting Qing Chen and Lin Ling drive the horse while he ran alongside on his own two legs would greatly increase efficiency.

However, before the two could get close to that batch of jujube red horses...

Bang!!

The body of the jujube red horse suddenly exploded as if it had been hit by something, its body was torn apart, and blood splattered everywhere.

"Boss, be careful!"

As soon as Qing Chen spoke, a black shadow had already rushed in front of him in a flash amidst the flying horse meat.

His pupils shrank, and in that instant, he saw clearly what was rushing over.

That was... a dog-like ghoul with a blood-colored stone embedded in its forehead, a head as big as a dou, and long, protruding fangs!

Almost in the next instant after Qing Chen saw this ghoul clearly...

Bang!!!

Little Blood Dou, a blood-level ghoul that had rushed over at high speed and jumped high to pounce on Qing Chen's face, was abruptly changed from a horizontal straight line to a vertical drop downward at an even faster speed!

Thump!!!

Little Blood Dou fell to the ground, and the ground suddenly cracked open, smoke and dust flew, and amidst the tumbling air waves, a shocked and confused voice sounded.

"Little Blood Dou?!"

Fang Yue was dumbfounded, how could the ghoul rushing over be Little Blood Dou?!

Wasn't it still in Qing Silk County? And hadn't he suppressed the ghoul's resurrection before?

Why had it completely turned into a ghoul now?

That ruthless and brutal gaze, those ferocious fangs, didn't look like it recognized him at all.

How could this be...

Could it be that something had happened in Qing Silk County?!

At the thought of this, Fang Yue's breathing became a little rapid.

When Little Blood Dou jumped high again and roared to bite at Fang Yue.

Puchi!

The Seven Sealing Short Sword was directly inserted into Little Blood Dou's head as it jumped high.

Power, loss, seal!

The pitch-black Seven Sealing Short Sword, the blade seemed to have a luster flowing.

Little Blood Dou's fangs retracted, and the blood-colored stone that had cracked open on its forehead slowly shrank back into its body, closing the crack.

Little Blood Dou, the ghoul's power, seemed to have been absorbed by the Seven Sealing Short Sword, and it returned to its usual appearance, becoming harmless, and even... vaguely regained its sanity?

"Woof?"

Gazing at Fang Yue in a daze, Little Blood Dou seemed to recognize Fang Yue, and wagged its short tail several times very adorably, and then completely lost its strength and fell into Fang Yue's arms with a thud.

"You're not going to kill it?"

"It..."

Boom!!!

A violent air wave suddenly burst out from behind!

Broken stones and debris tumbled and flew into the sky.

Rolling dust surged towards here like waves.

And in the smoke, a man wearing a horse-head mask was walking step by step towards Fang Yue and the others!

"You really made me search, three... little mice!"
