Chapter 608: Devil Clan Team
Duan Gujin pondered for a while and thought that he could release the Battle Puppet to face the astonishing number of ghosts.
Therefore, with a movement of his mind, he wanted to release it from the Spirit Storage Device.
However, to his surprise, he did not expect that he would be unable to open the Spirit Storage Device.
He immediately thought that he should go outside to open it, and thus, he left the place together with Miao Yu and Lili.
After a while, the three of them came out from inside.
Duan Gujin immediately tried to release the Battle Puppet, only to find that he couldn't use the Spirit Storage Device.
"It seems that the creator of the Space-Time Treasure Hall doesn't allow me to use the Battle Puppet here!"
After all, the Battle Puppets he had on hand were obtained from the Space-Time Treasure Hall.
The master of the Space-Time Treasure Hall would certainly have considered this and prevented him from using the Battle Puppets to forcibly pass through the challenges.
Since the Battle Puppet couldn't be used, Duan Gujin along with Miao Yu and Lili started to circle around the black clouds.
"Let's move to the left, and then we'll enter from there later!"
Duan Gujin wanted to figure out what was on the far left of this place, and at the same time, he thought that the far left of the black clouds should be the Space Crystal Wall.
To prevent the situation of circling around the same place, he made three marking arrays along the way.
They moved forward for about ten kilometers and indeed saw the Space Crystal Wall on the left side.
Duan Gujin and the others sat cross-legged on the spot, cultivating to recover their Combat Power.
Once they had recovered, the three of them together entered the black clouds ahead.
Along the way, they encountered some solitary ghosts.
They avoided these ghosts and continued to move forward.
But after traveling a distance, they ended up at the front of an abandoned castle.
Inside the castle was a dense army of ghosts. They tried to bypass this ghost army, only to find that they couldn't get around the castle at all.
"It seems that the master of the Space-Time Treasure Hall wants us to pass through that castle!"
Thinking of the dense ghost army, Duan Gujin felt his scalp tingle.
"This is really troublesome!"
Miao Yu and Lili also quickly realized that passing through the ghost army ahead would be very difficult.
They retreated and waited outside for a while.
But to their disappointment, they did not wait for the arrival of other members of the Devil Clan.
"Where are the other members of the Devil Clan?"
Duan Gujin and the others eagerly awaited, hoping for the arrival of other members of the Devil Clan, but to their surprise, after a long wait, they did not see any.
"Could it be that the other members of the Devil Clan have entered through another passage? Otherwise, we should have encountered others here."
This thought crossed Duan Gujin's mind.
"Let's not keep waiting here, let's move around and perhaps we'll see other members of the Devil Clan!"
After a while, Lili said.
"Okay!"
Duan Gujin then moved forward with them towards the right direction.
After walking three kilometers, they saw three members of the Devil Clan ahead.
Those three members of the Devil Clan immediately stopped them and asked if they wanted to team up.
"You three come with us, we have already formed a team with over a hundred members of the Devil Clan on this side!"
One of the Devil Clan members said.
Duan Gujin and the others did not refuse and continued forward with the three members of the Devil Clan.
However, Duan Gujin noticed the strange expressions on the faces of those three members of the Devil Clan and became vigilant.
After a short while, he indeed saw a large group of members of the Devil Clan appear ahead.
He estimated that there were over a hundred members of the Devil Clan, gathered together.
"Everyone, I've found three more companions!"
"Very well!"
A burly member of the Devil Clan stepped forward, glancing at Lili and slightly shaking his head.
He looked at Duan Gujin, his eyes hastily sweeping past.
Then he turned to Miao Yu, a flicker of sharpness passing through his gaze.
"You three will join our team and set off together! Once inside, you must follow our commands!"
The burly Devil Clan member shouted to the three of them.
"Okay!"
Duan Gujin quickly responded.
His mind was racing; he wanted to know how these devils intended to break through the ghost army ahead.
"My friend, how do you plan to charge through the ghosts inside the castle?"
Duan Gujin immediately asked.
"Simple, we'll just charge straight through! As long as we're united, we're confident we can defeat those ghosts!"
The Devil Clan member replied directly.
"What?"
Duan Gujin was rendered speechless upon hearing this.
He twitched the corner of his mouth, a myriad of frustrated expletives thundering through his mind.
He had previously tested his strength against those ghosts and knew their Combat Power was all at the Martial Emperor Fifth Realm.
These ghosts had a very fatal weakness; they couldn't recover the strength they had expended.
But the ghosts were numerous, and they would self-destruct in the end.
Duan Gujin felt that if these hundred Devil Clan members really fought against the dense ghost army, his side would definitely be at a disadvantage.
"If we really clash head-on, then our side is bound to be at a disadvantage! I should think about the ghosts' weaknesses!"
He had dealt with those ghosts before, knowing that if he released his Giant Demon Elephant Martial Soul, he could indeed inspire fear in the ghosts and make them flee.
"Could it be that I just need to release my Giant Demon Elephant Martial Soul to frighten them off?"
Previously he had only tested his powers on a few stray ghosts, not considering using it against the entire ghost army.
Now, with the Devil Clan intending to forcefully break through, Duan Gujin could no longer predict the outcome.
The hundred Devil Clan members waited for two hours before they started moving forward.
"After we enter, everyone must be prepared for battle! We will break through forcefully!"
The leading Devil Clan member said.
"Okay!"
The group of Devil Clan members cried out excitedly.
Duan Gujin took a deep breath and secretly communicated with Miao Yu, telling her that if they encountered any emergencies, they must stay close to him.
Miao Yu replied; she had seen before how Duan Gujin had scared off those stray ghosts.
But when she tried to confront the stray ghosts herself, even when she fully released her Martial Soul, she couldn't suppress them.
Only then did she realize that Duan Gujin's released Martial Soul could scare the ghosts away, a feat she couldn't accomplish. When a ghost self-destructed, she judged from its blast that if she was caught in it at close range, she would inevitably be injured.
At this moment, they didn't point out to those Devil Clan members just how wrong it was to confront the ghosts head-on.
Because the two of them really had no way to communicate with those Devil Clan members.
"These Devil Clan members seem to enjoy recklessness! If I tell them that confronting head-on is wrong, I have no idea how they'd react to me!"
Duan Gujin had seen how the leading Ninth Level Martial Emperor from the Devil Clan was bossing everyone around; he thought it would be very difficult to persuade that leading figure.
Moreover, he noticed that the leading Devil Clan member kept leering at Miao Yu.
Even though Miao Yu had covered her face with a veil, blocking other Devil Clan members from seeing her true appearance,
for those powerful Devil Clan members, they could still see through the veil to her true face.
From the leading Devil Clan member's earlier change in expression, Duan Gujin guessed he might have seen Miao Yu's real face.
For such a lecherous character, Duan Gujin did not want to tell the other what they should do.
