Chapter 296: Guerrilla Tactics, Devouring the Ghost Village

On the other side, Jerry’s performance was much better than Tom’s.

For some reason, both the cat and the mouse felt a sense of fright upon seeing ghosts.

Jerry also bristled, but he recovered after just a few seconds and began to pull out various tools to deal with the ghosts in the village.

Compared to Tom’s reckless disregard for the rules, sending ghosts to oblivion with a stick of dynamite, Jerry’s approach was much more refined.

The little mouse took out a mini Bible and a gold cup engraved with a cross. After filling the cup with water, he began to pray with the Bible.

In just a dozen seconds, the water in the gold cup started emitting a golden Holy Light.

Then it got simpler. The little mouse quietly sneaked up behind the ghost and splashed the cup of prayed Holy Water onto it.

The next moment, a sizzling sound erupted from the ghost, accompanied by terrifying, agonized howls.

A Tier Four fierce ghost managed to last only three seconds before gradually dissolving into nothingness under the purification of the Holy Water.

Throughout this, the fierce ghost was pinned in place, screaming and howling, unable to move or escape, or even cut its Ghost Body to save itself.

The cat and the mouse began roaming around the village ceaselessly.

Any ghost they encountered met its doom, either by Tom’s nonsense heat weapons or Jerry’s various demon-exorcising tools.

On average, they could eliminate a fierce ghost every minute, with the main time wasted on searching for ghosts; otherwise, they could cut the time in half.

And the point Mo Qingchen made at the beginning, about ignoring the Tier One civilian ghosts, was completely forgotten by the cat and the mouse.

Upon encountering ghosts, the shocked and bristling cat and mouse showed no mercy, killing every ghost they came across, regardless of its strength.

The death of each ghost provided a decent amount of Experience Points, continuously filling up their experience bar.

The entire village, with its hundreds of ghosts, was slaughtered by Tom and Jerry in less than three hours, leaving not a single lonely ghost shadow.

Mo Qingchen was very pleased with their root-and-branch approach.

After all, a family should be united. Since it’s a village of ghosts, all should be fully united in camaraderie and affection.

More than four hundred ghosts, although not a small number, had unfortunately lower Tiers. For the now Level 50 cat and mouse, the experience needed to level up to Level 51 is a whopping 1,000,000 points, which is not easy to achieve.

Eliminating over four hundred ghosts yielded only 30,000+ Experience Points, making leveling up a long-term goal.

Luckily, the Demon Cave Secret Realm is lacking in everything except ghosts.

With the Wolf King’s detection, ghost gathering points were revealed, and with the speed of the big truck, they could reach a ghost lair within a minute or two.

And the fierce ghosts captured and brought into the Wolf King endured extremely painful torture.

For a quick death, these fierce ghosts confessed everything they were asked, and even went overboard with things they weren’t asked about.

Therefore, Mo Qingchen’s team gained a preliminary understanding of the Demon Cave Secret Realm.

The intelligence information provided by Director Deng Xian was indeed outdated.

The current Demon Cave Secret Realm had achieved a grand unification, establishing a massive Ghost King City. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The Ghost King, who accomplished the unification, had power that crushed all other ghosts in the Secret Realm, firmly at Tier Nine Peak combat strength.

Under the Ghost King’s command were eight Ghost Generals, each at Tier Eight combat strength.

And there were over a hundred Tier Seven Ghost Generals under its command.

As for the Tier Six fierce ghosts, they directly formed an army of five thousand!

The minimum strength requirement for ghosts living in Ghost King City was reaching the level of Tier Four fierce ghosts.

The exact number of ghost citizens in Ghost King City was unknown to the interrogated fierce ghosts.

"This is troublesome, the number of ghosts here is terrifying. If we get surrounded, we’ll be in for a rough time."

The interrogation results from four ghosts, when combined, indicated that they weren’t lying.

However, the real intelligence left Mo Qingchen undecided about whether to continue staying in the Demon Cave Secret Realm or continue exploring and clearing out the ghosts.

"Boss, we can engage in guerrilla warfare, utilizing the Wolf King’s mobility and its vast detection range to avoid direct confrontations with ghosts of high energy Tiers."

What is the essence of guerrilla warfare?

When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we pursue; when the enemy stations, we disturb; when the enemy tires, we strike.

In essence, it’s about preserving oneself, gradually diminishing the enemy, and steadily developing.

It’s a sound strategy. Now in the Demon Cave Secret Realm, it has fully become a haven for ghosts.

All who exist here are ghosts, leaving no path of life for living beings.

It’s fair to say that all ghosts within the entire Demon Cave Secret Realm are enemies.

Since they’re all enemies, start by eradicating the weakest, from the outer edges, eroding bit by bit.

After clearing out the small ghosts, then lure out the big ones and eliminate them separately.

Continue in this layered approach, peeling back one layer at a time, until finally, the largest iron plate is ground into powder!

However, doing so consumes a considerable amount of time. It’s uncertain if the speed at which the ghosts in the Demon Cave Secret Realm can break the seal will outpace their ghost hunting efforts.
