Chapter 4 Do you want to form a pact with me in the underworld?
There are less than twenty minutes left before the Soul Suppression Trial begins.
Fang Han seized the time to study the newly acquired companion Yin technique—Soul-Capturing Whisper.
After all, this was the only means he could rely on in the early stages.
Although it can't compare to the terrifying ghost techniques of those malevolent and sinister beings.
But if used properly, it can really have a miraculous effect in this underworld!
Just like those demons in folk tales who habitually use soul-capturing magic.
With this captivating whisper, one can at least silently seize the opponent's attention and achieve a surprising victory within a small area!
Besides...
With the stealth and suddenness of a soul-capturing whisper.
If you shout when the other person is off guard, that brief moment of distraction can be enough to decide life or death!
You know... when an ordinary person is caught off guard and a plaintive sob enters their ear, their soul can tremble with fear!
Moreover, this is a ghostly art formed from resentment.
Its soul-capturing power far surpasses ordinary tricks!
and so--
It is essential to be familiar with your own innate Yin techniques and use them in the upcoming battles!
In the early stages, before you have overwhelming strength.
Fang Han could only rely on these underhanded tricks to survive.
Time... slowly passed in the dull wait.
Soon, the last twenty minutes were up.
[Ding! The All-People Summoning Ceremony has ended... The Soul Suppression Trial has begun!]
From this moment forward, contract holders may leave the Soul-Suppressing Ghost House and enter the "Nether Mist Forest" on the edge of Soul-Suppressing Village to conduct hunting trials...
Accompanied by a chilling, bone-chilling notification sound.
Fang Han discovered that the door to the haunted house in front of him had opened silently by itself.
A cold wind, carrying the smell of earth and a faint stench of decay, blew in.
He stepped forward, looking warily towards the door.
Rows of identical ghost houses stood neatly arranged in the Soul-Suppressing Village, like burial mounds.
At the entrance of each ghost house stood the spirit summoners who had been randomly assigned to the No. 13 Soul Town Village on the Road of Helplessness.
They didn't rush to leave this last refuge.
Instead, like Fang Han, she stood at the doorway, her face showing surprise and curiosity.
Looking around at the unfamiliar environment shrouded in gray mist.
soon.
The first person with courage gritted his teeth and went out.
The spirit summoners who were standing at the door then left the haunted house in twos and threes.
Walk towards the dilapidated square across the street, paved with huge bluestones.
Fang Han mingled in the crowd and followed.
Followed by.
A cacophony of voices, some anxious and some irritable, rose and fell across the square.
"Damn it! Ten days! That's raising our Yin Yuan cultivation to ten years! And the contract with Yin entities also requires ten years of cultivation? Isn't this deliberately trying to annihilate our souls?!"
"The will of the underworld is far too hasty! Even the most cruel trials of the underworld wouldn't be this difficult!"
"Based on my experience as a veteran gamer, what you might discover next... is that this hellish world we're in is a fucking eternal hell..."
"Stop talking! Let's begin! Time waits for no one! We only have ten days! Whether it's hell or not, we have to fight with our lives! Otherwise, we won't even deserve to be ghosts!"
"Team up! Team up! The Yin creature I summoned is the [Hateful Blue Wolf]! Its accompanying Yin spell is [Nether Wolf Bite]! Looking for a few that can resist Yin energy and tank damage head-on!"
The square was bustling with noise...
Although there were mostly curses and lamentations.
But the shouts of searching for teammates quickly drowned out everything else.
The summoners formed teams verbally in twos and threes.
Then, they charged towards the outer area shrouded in a layer of pale white light that was visible to the naked eye—the "Misty Woodland"!
Fang Han remained where he was, observing the surrounding crowd without making a sound.
I'm hoping to find those two guys who supposedly summoned the third-realm vengeful spirits.
But to his disappointment—
The summoned spirits, like the souls stored in the soul shrine, have the option of "manifesting" or "returning to silence".
Since they didn't choose to let the evil spirits reveal themselves in battle, they naturally wouldn't appear in other people's sight.
So, after observing for a long time, I still couldn't see those two people.
He simply walked out of the square without making a sound.
"Hey... buddy, you're going into the Darkmist Woods alone?"
"Judging from this, the evil spirit you contracted must be very powerful, right? Could you please tell me which realm it is?"
Sudden.
A burly man saw Fang Han preparing to leave alone.
There were no evil spirits appearing to protect them.
They assumed he must have summoned a high-level evil spirit.
He called out to Fang Han directly.
"???"
"Are you talking to me?"
Fang Han stopped and looked at the other person with some surprise.
"Don't misunderstand... my name is Zhao Hu."
"I was lucky enough to summon a [Hateful Fledgling]."
"Although it's only a first-realm wandering soul, it's still considered a rare breed among them."
"I stopped you just to ask what realm the Yin creature you summoned is."
"After all, this underworld is too unfamiliar to us. And you know how difficult the Soul Suppression Trial is."
"Therefore, we assembled a team of elite spirit summoners."
"The minimum requirement for joining the team is to possess a rare (hatred) Yin creature of the first realm."
"If it were a powerful being at the second realm of vengeful spirits, or even the third realm of fierce ghosts, that would be perfect."
"I wonder if this fellow would be interested in forming a pact with us in the underworld and acting together?"
Zhao Hu explained his purpose on the spot.
Fang Han understood after listening.
(Isn't this all about joining forces and relying on sheer numbers to get through this hellish ordeal?)
"Uh...sorry."
"My contracted spirit is just an ordinary female ghost."
"The first realm of wandering souls is not even considered rare."
"Therefore, you are not qualified for your team."
Fang Han shrugged.
Then, he turned around and left.
Without waiting for a reply, he continued walking towards the unknown gray fog ahead.
But not far after he walked away...
Several people behind Zhao Hu also came up.
"Tch! A mere female ghost, refusing to give me any face?"
"Has this guy's brain been corrupted by yin energy? He dares to venture into the Nether Mist Forest alone, accompanied by the lowest-level wandering female ghost?"
"Zhao Hu, what do you think?"
The group spoke one after another.
His tone was full of disdain and incomprehension.
"Young Miss, although he claims that his vengeful spirit is a female ghost, he has not revealed himself to fight, so we cannot confirm whether it is true or not."
"But... I get the feeling he seems pretty confident..."
Zhao Hu spoke, looking respectfully at the last girl to step forward, a girl with a cool and aloof demeanor.
"Hmm...an interesting contract user."
"Let's ignore him for now and set off."
The girl nodded.
His gaze swept indifferently over Fang Han's departing figure.
Then, surrounded by several people, they walked towards the Nether Mist Forest outside the light membrane.
