Ghost Compendium-Chapter 359 - 344: Movements of the Pioneer

"Enjoy the rest of your life as the old man in the ring."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished from the Human Ancestor Temple.

At the same time, outside, the aura of a City-Destroying Level Fierce Ghost approaching the Human Ancestor Temple flickered and finally faded away into nothingness.

......

......

While the Human Ancestor Temple was bustling with the slaughter of City-Destroying Level Fierce Ghosts, deep in remote mountains, a man who had been frowning for days was puzzled by the Supernatural Objects scattered all around.

Crunch—

Finally, after a series of distressing crunching sounds echoed from a supernatural hourglass in front of him, he couldn’t bear his frustration anymore and exclaimed, "Damn it! What’s wrong with these ghosts? Why aren’t they coming?"

No sooner had he spoken than the hourglass shattered completely into debris, signifying that it was no longer of any use.

The [Pioneer] sighed as he swept away the hourglass fragments and took out another uniquely-shaped Supernatural Object to activate.

His goal was simple—to attract City-Destroying Level Fierce Ghosts.

Recalling the Second Supernatural Massacre of the old world, these items had once unexpectedly attracted City-Destruction-level Fierce Ghosts, leading to great destruction.

The [Pioneer] clearly understood that City-Destroying Level Fierce Ghosts in the early stages of the Second Supernatural Massacre couldn’t cause significant personnel losses to the official forces.

There would always be Awakened whose abilities strengthened enough to resist such ghosts.

So, he intended to seal these City-Destroying Level Fierce Ghosts as much as possible beforehand.

Relying on his years of supernatural research, he continuously sought to enhance and upgrade these ghosts, even altering their essence to make them subject to his control.

Most importantly, he needed them to decrypt the abilities of the Fierce Dragon Ghost!

Yes! It was the artificially created City-Destroying Ghost—the Fierce Dragon Ghost, made by [Ghost Valley] in Chengyang City!

That unique Fierce Ghost ability—[Ganlin Rain and Dew]—had the effect of transforming humans into Artificial Ghosts, albeit with an extraordinarily low probability, but in terms of uniqueness, it was the strongest Fierce Ghost ever created by the [Promised Land]!

The information about its ability was actually recorded when the Fierce Dragon Ghost ascended to the level of City Destruction and transferred through special Supernatural Objects to a place known only to [Ghost Valley].

In the final battle phase, when [Ghost Valley] was down to its last leg, [Pioneer] seized the opportunity to invade the Consciousness Space.

The place where the Fierce Dragon Ghost’s ability information was hidden was also unearthed from deep within the memory by [Pioneer].

Before Wu Liang headed to the Tianshan Mountain Range, the [Pioneer] had already obtained this ability information.

"Alas... It’s a pity, this power is too strong and too unique. The Red-clothed Fierce Ghost simply can’t bear it; only City-Destroying Ghosts can attempt to embed this [Ganlin Rain and Dew], we need a lot of City-Destroying Ghosts!"

The [Pioneer], feeling a bit irritated, turned to a member of the [Promised Land] managing the Supernatural Objects in the corner.

The other party could only nod silently, sweat dripping from their brow as they’d been busy for several days.

Not a single City-Destroying Level Fierce Ghost had been attracted!

With the Supernatural Objects nearly depleted, they could only hold on for two or three more days. If by then no City-Destroying Level Fierce Ghost appeared, they dreaded to imagine the crazy actions the [Pioneer] might take.

Ever since unsealing Triton, this guy seemed to have been a bit off.

"Keep maintaining the trigger for the Supernatural Objects. If a Fierce Ghost arrives, notify me with the Wooden Token. I’m going out to check the outside situation," the [Pioneer] said, standing up in frustration.

He couldn’t figure out why no City-Destroying Level Fierce Ghost had been attracted.

This was completely different from the memories of the old world!

Especially with the Cursed Hourglass, where every grain of sand exuded almost infinitely resentful and extreme negative emotions scarcely found in this world.

According to his old-world memories, this hourglass should definitely attract a City-Destroying Level Fierce Ghost that feeds mainly on emotions!

That Emotion Ghost, no matter where in Huaxia, should have no reason to refuse coming over to devour the Cursed Hourglass when it felt the extreme negative emotions!

Moreover, based on old-world memories, the Emotion Ghost should have just descended within a couple of days, so it wouldn’t have been exorcised by some bizarre Awakened, right?

"Wait a minute, bizarre Awakened... Wu Liang... could it be related to that kid?"

At this moment, [Pioneer] also thought of the biggest variable he had encountered so far.

Only that kid could so precisely step on each key point of his plans; could this time be related to him too?

With such doubts, [Pioneer] left the mountains and gradually approached a city.

With defensive structures along the city wall, in addition to several Awakened with sensory Awakened Abilities continuously on alert.

The [Pioneer] merely walked up to a sentry post on the outskirts of the city, and upon glancing at the approaching Official Awakened ready to question him and the soldiers, their eyes instantly filled with confusion.

Soon after, in a state of daze, they averted their gaze, completely ignoring the [Pioneer] as he entered the city, even silently going to the surveillance room to delete all footage of him.

Not until [Pioneer] had long left the sentry post did they regain their senses.

Looking at each other and scratching their heads, they had no idea what happened, as if they had just spaced out for a few minutes, with no memory of the process.

Thus, the [Pioneer] silently entered the city, getting closer to the base of the official branch.

"Oh? An official training camp? Interesting, established a bit earlier than expected." Seeing the training camp notices all over the streets, [Pioneer] was somewhat surprised.

In his impressions, the official Awakened training base of the old world should have only been established mid-catastrophe, which was about a month from now.

The failure to attract City-Destroying Level Fierce Ghosts and the early establishment of the official training camp made [Pioneer] realize that this world’s Second Supernatural Massacre might differ slightly from his old world experiences.

"Heh, it’s a pity, no matter how it differs, it won’t change humanity’s eventual destruction; the end is still predetermined," [Pioneer] sighed wistfully.

He knew well the early establishment of the official training camp would add significant combat power to Huaxia.

Yet, this was not enough to overturn the ultimate outcome, for under the shadow of those world-shattering Fierce Ghosts, humanity was far too insignificant.

Observing the changes in the city along the way, he gradually reached the official branch base.

Under the influence of his Special Ability, no Awakened could raise the thought of stopping him.

Passing effortlessly into the archive room, the [Pioneer] naturally began to search for recent official movements and unusual records.

This was similar to the work he had done in the past, making it exceptionally easy for [Pioneer] to investigate and quickly identify problematic areas in the records.

Two things caught [Pioneer’s] main attention, especially the first unusual record which left him somewhat dizzy.

"Every member of the Great Qin Army wears red? The General of Qin has the stance of City Destruction? Currently aiding in eliminating 80% of Red-clothed Fierce Ghosts across Huaxia?"

"What the hell is this?"

The [Pioneer] suddenly wondered if he hadn’t yet fully awoken in the cave, and even considered slapping himself to check if it would hurt.

For this Great Qin Army didn’t exist in the old world, he’d never seen such things!

Boom—

Just as he was lost in thought and shock, a loud noise erupted outside the door.

Then a reprimanding voice followed—

"Who dares trespass on my army’s territory? I am Bai Qi; state your name, please!"
