Chapter 1147: Green-faced Ghost!
The Merlot Battleground had been around thousands of years ago when true God-realm powerhouses ruled the Great God World. It was an ancient battlefield that had formed naturally within the Merlot Mountain Range. Within this battlefield, there were many spiritual imprints, weapons, undying spirits, spatial tears, and it was full of danger.
Even a Type 9 powerhouse might perish if he or she was not careful.
However, it was also a place of opportunities, in fact, many Type 9 powerhouses had come here when they were still at the Type 8 realm, going through the baptism of the Merlot Battlefield, and obtained many treasures or benefits from the things left behind here. That was how they broke through to the Type 9 stage.
One of the main reasons why the Great God World was able to churn out so many Type 9 powerhouses, was because that there were many secret realms and ancient battlefields left behind from the experts of past, allowing the current generation to benefit from the spiritual wills and imprints.
Furthermore, inside this Merlot Battlefield, there were frequent appearances of Gold-grade Treasures, which would cause anyone to go crazy over.
In front of the battlefield, Bi Feng stopped once more, and could not help but reiterated himself, "This is the Merlot Battlefield. Once we enter, we have to be careful. Not only are there experts from the other 3 main races, but there are also countless Mutant Beasts, Ferocious Beasts, and even Undying Devil Spirits. Even if we meet another human, they might not necessarily be our allies or friends, especially if we find any treasures."
Yue Zhong looked towards the Merlot Battlefield, his heart feeling a chill, "This is truly a dangerous place. I can vaguely sense a threatening level of danger. If I'm not careful, I might perish her."
The location of the battlefield was in a vast place where one could not see the end, as though the entire world was shrouded in mist and extended all the way to the clouds.
Currently, the mountain range had been destroyed by some unknown force in the past, turning into multiple peaks, each still larger than the size of China.
There was a chaotic surge of energy within the mountain range. Since Yue Zhong had developed the God-Devil Eye, if there were no obstructions, he could easily see over a 1000 li away. However, when he looked out at the direction of the Merlot Battlefield, he could only see the outskirts, and everything within was foggy.
All of a sudden, Bi Feng's face fell, as he sent out a spiritual wave, transmitting, "Hide!"
Hearing his words, Bianna's sent out a white cloth that wrapped the 4 of them, as they disappeared from their location.
Not long after, 30 individuals soared through the sky. They were 4m-long, each of them possessing a human-like head, but with green features and long canines. They had a pair of wings on their backs and a singular horn on their forehead. Around their necks, they hung necklaces formed from skulls. These were experts from the Green-faced Ghost Clan.
The Green-faced Ghosts were also a race under the Man-Eating Races, they came like the wind, flying freely wherever they liked, and hunt humans everywhere they went. They were even harder to deal with compared to the Man-eating Giants. They were capable of flight, and their speed was just slightly below Mutant Beasts of the same level, but above everyone else. Even if they could not defeat their enemies, they could choose to fly away. The moment their enemies let down their guards, they would quickly swoop in for the kill.
The 30 Green-faced Ghosts emitted a terrifying aura, they were all at the Type 8 realm, of which, 10 of them seemed even stronger than a human Holy Son.
As Yue Zhong stared at them, his eyes brightened up. If he could take down all of them, he could gain a huge increase in his strength.
Type 8 powerhouses were not easy to come across. Within the Holy Sirius Empire, there was only one like George. Furthermore, Yue Zhong was not willing to slaughter other human powerhouses for no reason, otherwise, he would also be ostracized by the Holy Heavens and would have nowhere to go within the Great God World.
Whereas in the various secret realms, there were many Type 8 Mutant Beasts. However, behind these beasts were powerful Type 9 existences guarding them. If he killed one or two, it would not be an issue, but if he were to go on a massacre, then the Type 9 powerhouses would not let him off.
However, there was no hidden danger in dealing with these Green-faced Ghosts. Among the tasks that Yue Zhong had accepted, there was the requirement of hunting enemy forces, Man-eating Races as well as Devils.
Looking at the Ghosts, Yue Zhong opened up his ring noiselessly, causing many dust-sized nanobots to fly out and follow the Green-faced Ghosts.
Among the 4 races, the Mutant Beasts occupied the most territories and were the most numerous. However, it was obvious that these were scattered. They also seldom engaged in a mindless slaughter of the humans they come across.
One of the Green-faced Ghosts faced their most burly member, opening his mouth to ask, "Ye Cha Ghost, is your intelligence accurate?"
Ye Cha Ghost revealed a savage grin, "Of course, not too long ago, there were easily 30 and more human Holy Sons that entered the Merlot Battlefield. Furthermore, there were others that joined in. Right now, the total number of human cultivators within is over 60, and they're there for us to hunt!"
One other Green-faced Ghost stuck out his tongue to lick it, while smiling viciously, "That's great! 60 Holy Sons, I can already smell their flesh! The previous time, when I had crushed the bone of the human Holy Daughter, her despair and expression of pain were so enticing!"
Another Green-faced Ghost frowned, "However, 60 of them is not weak. If they join forces, we might not be a match for them."
One laughed lightly, "Don't worry, humans usually go in groups of 4. Furthermore, within the Merlot Battlefield, it's not easy for them to sense one another. By the time they react, we would have gained the advantage. At that time, we're free to kill or leave, why should we be afraid?"
Ye Cha Ghost laughed, flapping his wings and charged into the battlefield, "Haha! Let's go!"
The rest also quickly flapped the wings and entered.
When all of the Green-faced Ghosts disappeared into the Merlot Battlefield, the white sash came down, revealing Yue Zhong and the rest. Other than Yue Zhong, the rest had ugly expressions.
Bianna frowned, "What do we do? The network does not reach inside, we have no way of informing those fellows within."
The Holy Heavens network was extensive and could reach many places. However, due to the residual power of the True Gods of the past and spiritual imprints, the network could not penetrate the Merlot Battlefield.
Bi Feng declared, "It is not something that we can handle, we have to go back and report this. Let the higher-ups deal with this."
30 Green-faced Ghosts, with 10 among them possessing Holy Son-level strength. With such a group, even Bi Feng would not be able to handle at his peak-Type 8 strength.
The rest also nodded quietly, they might be proud of their strength, but they were clear that sometimes, retreat is the right strategy.
"Why not we do it like this, you guys retreat, I'll go in and check it out." Yue Zhong laughed lightly, and suggested, "I have a method that can hide my aura and presence. As long as I employ that technique, it would be hard for them to discover me."
Bi Feng frowned, "The Green-faced Ghosts have an ability through their horns, that can allow them to break past many illusions and stealth techniques. Knowing this, do you still want to go?"
Yue Zhong was resolute, "Yes!"
They were an important source of evolution for Yue Zhong, he naturally wanted to hunt them down.
Right at this time, Annie also spoke up coldly, "I'll follow you then!"
The rest shot her a bewildered glance. They were clear that among them, her strength was not at the peak, if she got herself entangled with the Green-faced Ghosts, she would likely be in danger.
Under their shocked gazes, Annie spoke coldly, "Within the Holy Heavens, I might not be the strongest, but my abilities in life-preservation and support can be considered in the top 10. I can cover you."
"Fine! In that case, come with me!"
Yue Zhong laughed, and in a flash, he had charged through into the Merlot Battlefield.
Annie's figure also turned hazy and disappeared mysteriously, entering the Battlefield.
Bi Feng stared at them, his fists clenched tight and there was a strange glint in his eyes. He wanted to enter as well and fight it out with the Green-faced Ghosts. However, his rationale told him that there was a 90% chance of death.
Azaman looked at the Merlot Battlefield with a complicated gaze, "Let's go!"
Bi Feng fell silent, before turning around and soared away.
Not long after they left, a huge meteor descended from the skies, landing right outside the Merlot Battlefield, revealing a huge mechanical planet. A number of peak experts from the Black Devil Clan flew out and shot into the Battlefield as well.
When they had all entered, the planet soared up and disappeared, coming and going like the wind.
It was too dangerous inside the Merlot Battlefield for the mechanical planet to enter. It would likely be torn apart by the countless undying spirits within.
