Cave Refuge

Thus, for the Fierce Ghost to devour the soul of the Bat Monster, the process does not need to be so complex. The Fierce Ghost only needs to enter the body of the Bat Monster just like the Resentful Spirit.

However, unlike the Resentful Spirit, the Fierce Ghost only has to enter the body of the Bat Monster to directly cause the soul within the Bat Monster to collapse, and then directly devour its soul inside the body, successfully taking control and manipulating the body of the Bat Monster.

If this occurred in another time and place, those Fierce Ghosts might temporarily control a Bat Monster's body to deceive or search for other Bat Monsters.

But now, with the surrounding area densely crowded with Bat Monsters, those Fierce Ghosts naturally don't need to use a Bat Monster's body to find and deceive others.

Therefore, after devouring the soul inside the body of a Bat Monster, these Fierce Ghosts naturally exit this body and then rush into another Bat Monster's body immediately.

The manner of soul cultivation, similar to that of humans, follows two distinct routes: righteous and evil.

Those who don't kill and solely rely on prolonged cultivation to enhance their strength belong to the Ghost Immortal path, while those who enhance their Cultivation Level by devouring other souls naturally follow the path of the Resentful Spirits and Fierce Ghosts.

The souls captured within the Hundred Ghosts Banner upgrade themselves through the evil path of devouring other souls.

However, there's a rather troublesome aspect associated with this path; that is, souls of the Living Spirits killed by the Resentful Spirits and Fierce Ghosts will naturally be devoured by them. Thus, there won't be any new souls collected in the Hundred Ghosts Banner after the battle.

Although Dong Tianyu can forcibly control the Resentful Spirits and Fierce Ghosts to avoid devouring target souls during a massacre, these spirits inevitably have no physical forms, and all methods of attack roughly harm the target souls. Once these souls are damaged, their quality naturally degrades, and even if collected into the Hundred Ghosts Banner, they only serve as fodder for other Ghost Creatures within the banner.

For this reason, most of the battles involving the use of the Hundred Ghosts Banner don't actively control the Hundred Ghosts; they typically attack freely.

As for the source of the ghosts within the Hundred Ghosts Banner, aren't there the Bloodthirsty Banner and White Bone Banner!

Although the attacks of the Resentful Spirits and Fierce Ghosts damage the target souls, the souls of the victims killed by the Bloodthirsty Banner and White Bone Banner remain undamaged. Thus, these undamaged souls naturally get pulled into the Banner Space under the attraction of the Hundred Ghosts Banner.

However, in this battle, the White Bone Puppets within the White Bone Banner transformed directly into a Bone Ball, encapsulating and blocking all the Bat Monsters' routes back through the shrunk Plane Transmission Channel.

The Bloodthirsty Banner, on the other hand, is covering the sea below; it will dissolve the bodies of all Bat Monsters falling down in the shortest time and eventually merge them into the Blood Sea.

With more and more Bat Monsters mysteriously plummeting from the sky, those that initially gathered here started to look somewhat panicked.

However, as time progresses, more and more Bat Monsters, trying to return to their original Plane, are still converging from afar towards here.

Therefore, the Bat Monsters that detect anomaly but haven't yet perished cannot escape from here. Although all Bat Monsters are flying in a three-dimensional space seeming to escape from any angle,

the continuously converging Bat Monsters are substantial in number; those trying to escape from the area upon discovering the anomaly eventually are forced to approach the location of the Bone Ball.

Even as the Resentful Spirits control the bodies and the Fierce Ghosts kill the souls, the stiff bodies of the Bat Monsters falling from the sky occasionally hit a few unlucky ones trying to approach from below towards the Bone Ball, dragging them into the descent into the Blood Sea.

This situation resembles the stampedes that occur when people gather before a natural disaster. Although such incidents only arise in densely crowded areas, if something goes wrong, it's very difficult for others to reach out and help even if they see it happening.

With each Bat Monster smashed into the bloody waters, some intact Bat Monster souls appeared, drawn under the influence of the Hundred Ghosts Banner, and were absorbed into the soul section of the Hundred Ghosts Banner.

If a Resentful Spirit wants to kill a Bat Monster, besides the time it takes to enter the body, one only needs to consider the time it takes for the Bat Monster's body to fall into the blood waters. Once the Bat Monster dies, their soul is instantly devoured by the Resentful Spirit within them.

The speed at which the Fierce Ghost kills Bat Monsters is swift; once it enters the target's body, the Fierce Ghost can instantly shred the soul inside and devour it in moments, then leave the body and move to the next target.

Although the killing speed of Resentful Spirits and Fierce Ghosts is very fast, with dozens of Bat Monsters dying every second, the saying goes, countless Bat Monsters are rapidly converging here.

Those Bat Monsters blinded by the death of their kin have already sacrificed their lives to keep other humans away.

The remaining clear-headed Bat Monsters, in order to return to their original Plane, are continuously moving towards this area.

The killing pace of hundreds of Resentful Spirits and Fierce Ghosts still cannot match the speed of the Bat Monsters converging here. Although the later Bat Monsters also notice that their kin are constantly dying, they ignore this due to the pressing urge to return home.

Relying on their numerical advantage, the distance between those Bat Monsters and the Bone Ball is continually closing. As they approach, they might also realize that the Plane Channel they need to return through is within the Bone Ball.

With this speculation in mind, those Bat Monsters nearing the Bone Ball no longer care about the death of their kin nearby and immediately start attacking the Bone Ball aggressively.

Although the attack of a single Bat Monster is not strong, considering the dense swarm surrounding it, if they attack at the same time, they will surely hit Dong Tianyu, who is invisibly standing on the Bone Ball.

After all, Dong Tianyu is just invisible, not gone; although the opponents cannot detect Dong Tianyu's presence, under a full-scale attack, Dong Tianyu would have no way to dodge unless he hides inside the Cave.

Facing the dense swarm of Bat Monsters, Dong Tianyu would naturally not fear hiding in the Cave. Although the White Bone Puppet's body has become very durable after several upgrades, faced with the saturated attack of Bat Monsters, Dong Tianyu does not know how long the White Bone Puppet can withstand.

At this moment, Dong Tianyu does not intend to test the defensive power of the White Bone Puppet. After all, no matter how durable something is, the moment you think of testing its endurance limit, the outcome inevitably will be destruction.

In this situation, offense is the best defense; as long as he prevents the Bat Monsters from attacking the White Bone Puppet, it essentially helps block the Bat Monsters' attacks.

Hundreds of Flying Swords instantly appear beside Dong Tianyu, and since Dong Tianyu still remains invisible, in the eyes of the Bat Monsters, countless Longswords have mysteriously appeared around the Bone Ball.

The originally downward-pointing tips of the Flying Swords then lift up, and like arrows, they shoot rapidly outward from the center of the Bone Ball.

The fragile bodies of the Bat Monsters cannot block the sharp Flying Swords; wherever the Flying Swords pass, whether through the chest, limbs, head or wings, all are instantly penetrated.

At this moment, in front of the Flying Swords, the Bat Monsters truly die upon penetration and are wounded upon contact. And those Bat Monsters, whether they die or get injured, once they fall from the air into the waters and touch the bloody water, they instantaneously die and dissolve, with absolutely no chance to resist or survive.

As large numbers of Bat Monsters fall into the waters, their souls are continuously sucked into the Hundred Ghosts Banner. Once a great number of souls appear in the banner space of the Hundred Ghosts Banner, these souls begin to devour each other.

Every time a soul evolves into a Resentful Spirit, that Resentful Spirit will immediately leave the Hundred Ghosts Banner to hunt the external Bat Monsters.
