Chapter 324: The Invisible Ghost in the Dark
“Such a strong yin energy!”
Duan Jibo's face darkened.
When I was outside, I didn't see anything unusual in the yard. But as soon as I came in, such a strong cold wind appeared. It was really too weird.
After this gloomy wind blew past, it dissipated again. Everything seemed to become calm, and the source of the yin energy could not be found at all.
"I don't feel any ghost power or evil spirit anymore, but this place gives me an extremely uncomfortable feeling." Duan Qi said with a slightly nervous expression.
A golden light flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, and he used his physical skills.
At this moment, he suddenly saw two almost invisible black shadows disappear from his eyes in a flash.
It seemed that these ghosts were completely hidden, and even his physical body and eye skills could not successfully capture them.
This made Lin Chen surprised and his interest became completely aroused.
"I haven't encountered such an interesting thing in a long time."
Lin Chen muttered to himself, and then said to Duan Jibo and the others, "There are definitely ghosts here, and they should have discovered us."
"What?"
"You see them?"
Duan Jibo and Duan Qi whispered with shock on their faces.
"I guess so. They were just two almost transparent black shadows. They disappeared before I could see them clearly. It seems that the ghosts in this yard are really difficult to deal with." Lin Chen said as he walked forward.
Upon hearing this, Duan Jibo and Duan Qi couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. When they looked around again, they felt that the environment in the courtyard had become even more eerie and terrifying.
Unconsciously, a layer of sweat appeared on the backs of both of them.
This place is too weird. Even a four-star player can't touch the shadow of the ghost. It's too scary.
They have been players for many years, but they can't help but feel nervous knowing that there are ghosts around them that exist in the dark and cannot be detected.
This has little to do with character and strength. Normal people have awe and fear of the unknown and darkness, especially when the unknown is of the kind that can pose a life-threatening danger at any time. Even when a powerful person comes, their hearts will inevitably palpitate.
"Could it be a group of invisible ghosts at the level of Ghost King?"
Duan Jiebo couldn't help but ask. Although the invisible ghost was supreme and represented a powerful fighting force, he would rather hope that the one here was a known existence, so that he would be more likely to accept it.
However, Lin Chen shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. Their hiding method is different from that of invisible ghosts."
The invisible ghost can hide its body shape, ghost power, and yin energy to a great extent, but it cannot hide its resentment. To Lin Chen, the invisible ghost's invisibility method is completely useless. At most, their ability to become invisible is a little more difficult to deal with.
As for the ghost in front of him, he could vaguely see its figure. Of course, this did not rule out the factor that Lin Chen had awakened his physical skills. The most important thing was that this kind of ghost could even hide its resentment, which was very different from an invisible ghost.
"Of course, it could also be a stronger invisible ghost. After all, the ghost species is only a rough estimate of its potential, and the strength of each identical ghost is different." Lin Chen added, unable to help revealing a smile of delight on his face.
Normal people are afraid of the unknown and darkness, but Lin Chen is definitely not within the normal category.
In his eyes, the more bizarre and powerful the ghost is, the more valuable it is, and the easier it is to arouse his interest.
Moreover, he has no interest in catching some ordinary ghost kings now. After a few bites, they will all wilt there, showing no patience at all!
Although they are all very valuable, he still likes the ghosts that can withstand being punished.
Moreover, the existence of people in this courtyard does not mean that he can't see anything as if he has his eyes blindfolded!
Lin Chen's mind moved, and the next moment, Lin Chen's left eye remained unchanged, with a ray of golden light in the depths of his pupil, but the golden light in his right eye turned into purple light.
After becoming this state, Lin Chen glanced around.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank slightly, as if he had seen something very surprising, but eventually, this expression returned to normal. At the same time, the corners of his mouth lifted up slightly, revealing an intriguing sneer, and then he continued to walk forward as if he had not noticed anything.
"You two beasts, I'm going to have some fun with you tonight."
…
Walking on the flat bluestone, Duan Jiebo and Duan Qi did not speak. Their expressions became more and more solemn. They looked around vigilantly, fearing that a disheveled evil ghost would jump out from some corner and attack them.
Just when the two of them were feeling nervous, an invisible claw suddenly appeared from behind Duan Qi's head and reached towards Duan Qi's slender, white neck.
This claw is different from that of humans. It has four fingers connected together, and sharp nails on the fingertips. It is actually an animal claw.
No one seemed to notice this. Duan Qi and Duan Jibo were still looking around, and Duan Qi had no idea that his life was in danger.
The beast's claw moved very slowly, as if it was afraid of alarming the three people.
However, just as it was about to touch Duan Qi, Lin Chen, who was walking in front, suddenly moved, as if he was going to turn around.
The beast's claw trembled slightly, and then it disappeared completely again before Lin Chen could see it.
At this time, Lin Chen had turned around and smiled at Duan Qi, "Don't be nervous. Didn't Ma Baosheng say that many players have come to investigate and returned home safely? As for the black shadow before, maybe I saw it wrong."
"I understand." Duan Qi didn't know why Lin Chen suddenly turned around and talked to him specifically, but he nodded anyway.
Duan Jibo's eyes suddenly flickered, and he couldn't help but let out a wicked smile and said, "Why aren't you so nice to me? Do you have any ideas for comforting my sister alone? If you have any, just say it. As long as you give me the blame, I can discuss it with you."
The black pot was too extraordinary. Having felt the weight of it, Duan Jibo has never forgotten it.
This time, before Lin Chen could say anything, Duan Qi's face turned red and white with shame and anger, and he kicked Duan Jiebo's fat body directly to the ground.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth off!"
After leaving a few words, Duan Qi continued to move forward.
Duan Jibo wailed: "Is there any justice in the world? How can a sister beat her brother like this?"
Lin Chen couldn't help laughing, then he turned around as well, as if he was about to go into the house to investigate the situation.
However, just when Lin Chen turned around, the beast claw appeared again.
It is like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, and will attack as soon as it gets the chance.
Of course, this so-called appearance is only because it launched an attack, which is clearer in Lin Chen's subjective consciousness. It does not mean that it is fully present. Now it is still in an invisible state. Even if it appears in front of Duan Jiebo, Duan Jiebo cannot see it.
This time its target was Duan Jibo, and its angle was very wrong.
After being kicked down, Duan Jibo turned sideways and kept this position.
And the beast's claw appeared from the ground again, pointing directly at Duan Jibo's crotch!
It was not known whether it was a test for Lin Chen, who could vaguely see them, or whether it was due to his vicious nature and driven by greed, but he actually attacked Duan Jiebo directly.
Duan Jiebo's face also began to change inexplicably. Although he didn't see it, his senses were indeed sharp. He only felt a chill in his crotch, as if he was being stared at by something.
But before he could react, the beast's claws were already very close to his vital points.
At this critical moment, Lin Chen, without looking back, suddenly took two steps back. He was so fast that he left an afterimage. He stood directly beside Duan Jibo and said to him, "Hurry up and investigate it as soon as possible so that you can go back."
He seemed as if he didn't notice anything, but "coincidentally" his foot stepped on the beast's claw, causing it to twitch in pain, but it seemed that it was afraid of being discovered by Lin Chen and could only endure it.
“Hmm…”
Duan Jibo responded with a frown on his face, as if he was surprised by something.
As far as he could perceive, the chill that came from the bottom of his heart suddenly disappeared after Lin Chen came to his side, as if the crisis had been resolved.
This made him look at Lin Chen deeply, not knowing whether it was a coincidence or not.
After Duan Jibo stood up, he walked inside.
Lin Chen naturally would not stay where he was and walked away.
But no one noticed that at the place where Lin Chen had stepped, a beast claw had been completely embedded in the bluestone brick...
After Lin Chen left, the beast's claw was finally freed, tremblingly rose from the ground, and completely retracted into the void.
In the darkness, a black shadow on all fours stood there vaguely, its black beast eyes filled with hatred and anger.
Beside it, there was another identical beast shadow, standing silently, staring motionlessly at the backs of Lin Chen and the other two.
These two beast ghosts are hidden in the dark.
He relied on his invisibility ability and had been keeping his eyes on Lin Chen and the other two since they entered the room, and had been following them all the time.
However, they failed every time they tried, and they really couldn't tell whether the three people in front of them had noticed their presence!
At this moment, Lin Chen, who was walking in front, had his mouth corners slightly raised at some point.
Ever since the purple light appeared in his eyes, the ghosts hiding in the dark could no longer escape his sight.
That purple light was the tracking technique, one of the six skills of the system.
After the two beast ghosts appeared in front of Lin Chen, the conditions for using the tracking technique were triggered.
Afterwards, in Lin Chen's spiritual perception, two irregular black lines appeared out of thin air in the courtyard, and kept wandering around the three people.
At the edge of the black line were two figures shrouded in darkness. Although he could not see their specific faces clearly, the effect of the tracking technique allowed him to feel the general outlines of the two ghosts.
This is where tracking comes in.
Therefore, from beginning to end, the two beast ghosts were always within his spiritual perception.
Therefore, he suddenly turned around to talk to Duan Qi, and when the beast's claw attacked Duan Jiebo, he deliberately stepped on it.
As for the abilities of the two ghosts, Lin Chen also had a rough analysis.
There are two levels of their invisibility. One is a low level, relatively shallow invisibility. This state is when they are ready to attack, and can be captured by Lin Chen using his physical skills and pupil techniques, and it can be seen very clearly.
The second type is a deep level of invisibility. At that time, they seem to be able to move but not attack. In this state, even physical skills cannot be seen, and only tracking skills can see something.
As for Duan Jibo and Duan Qi, they didn't discover anything from beginning to end, so no matter what kind of stealth state they were in, the abilities of these two ghosts could be said to be extremely terrifying.
Of course, this does not mean that the two beast ghosts are completely unstoppable. In Lin Chen's guess, perhaps when their attacks are successful and their bodies actually touch the human body, their figures are truly revealed...
Moreover, they only dare to launch surprise attacks, which shows that their actual combat power is not that strong.
Finally, Lin Chen withdrew these thoughts and used his mental power to casually pass over the two beast shadows again.
He took in the situation of the two ghosts clearly, and at the same time, he stopped moving and continued to walk inside.
He was not in a hurry to take action. The tracking technique was only useful for those he had seen. He was not sure whether there were other ghosts in the dark that had not yet appeared.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to alert the enemy.
