Zhang Yan rushed toward the Baodu Mountain. After the bleak wastes, there was a woods. He sneaked in without hesitation, followed closely by Ming Hai and the three Qinglong people.

Neglecting them, Zhang Yan continued to run forward. After all, they surpassed him both in number and cultivation and even if the Anti-Soul Beast could help deal with them, it would consume a lot of soul energy of the beast, which was pretty precious both to the beast and Zhang Yan. There would must be more troubles in the future, so he refused to utilize the beast now.

As soon as he entered the woods, a strong yin immediately greeted him, "It seems that many powerful things are here."

The beast replied, "Yes, I perceived a lot of small ghosts here and you should be careful that they are intractable."

"Small ghosts, what are they?" He asked.

"The souls of the warriors who died in the Huangquan Road will turn into ghosts leveled small ghosts, fierce ghosts, ghost kings and the highest, ghost emperors, similar to the human warriors from the martial artists to the martial emperors. Most of the small ghosts owned the cultivation of Martial Arts State and robbing of the memories when they were alive, they only endowed with the instinct to massacre. The souls are their favorite food, so they will swarm up and share the souls and flesh of the warriors."

"They will also devour other ghosts' souls to improve themselves and re-generate a new intelligence at the Ghost King State. The small ghosts are the most difficult for warriors, because there is a large quantity of them, and they won't be tired of attacks, so you should be particularly attentive!" added the beast.

Zhang Yan became more mindful and just after a while, a ghost, similar to human, but lacking energy and full of strong chill resentment and yin. Zhang Yan recognized it was a so-called small ghost.

Without any expression, it bounced over him with its mouth opening and to his surprise, it reached him so fast, just in a flash.

He took out his stone sword and stabbed it on its head, but the sword went through its head unexpectedly, as if the latter was illusory!

When he was still in shock, the ghost had already been close to him and punched a fist at his head. He immediately reached out his left hand to resist, which caused a big shake with his arm and forced him to retreat several steps. He wondered in surprise, "Why?! Why can't I hit it, but it can hit me?!"

The Anti-Soul Beast explained, "They are souls and won't be hurt by normal attacks. You must use your spiritual energy or soul energy!"

He just understood, replied with nods and began to mobilize his Asura spiritual energy. The bloody-red spiritual energy instantly covered the sword. The ghost was still indifferent and continued to flew toward him. He turned over the sword, forming a beam of bloody-red sword gas. It directly penetrated the ghost.

The ghost suddenly stopped, then its body became dimmer and dimmer, turned into little blackspots and dissipated.

He got to know how to cope with the small ghosts in the Huangquan Road. He continued to rush forward and met another three small ghosts, with one of them even holding a weapon. He did not expect they, without intelligence, to have the ability to use weapons, so it seemed to an instinct when they were alive. The weapon of the small ghost was not ordinary, but a powerful long spear.

The beast uttered again, "That's why the small ghosts are the most difficult. The number of them is too large and warriors can't kill them all. So, low-cultivation warriors can't survive here."

"The previous ghost just possessed the strength of the first level of Martial Arts State, but the three in front look more strong." He nodded.

He charged forward with his sword and cut it on the three ghosts. The huge sword gas smashed two without weapon in a flash, but didn't affect that armed one at all. It quickly flew to him and shot its spear directly to his head.

He used the sword to prevent but was forced to retreat ten feet away when. Shocks sat in his eyes, "It is so strong! Perhaps at the seventh level of Martial Arts State!"

Daring not to be careless, he stared at the ghost attentively. At this time, several breaths came behind him. He sneered, "All right, come and try this difficult small ghost!"

He received the stone sword in his hand and performed the Qingyun Step under to flee away. Since someone was chasing him, he might as well take advantage of the small ghost to block them. Sure enough, the ghost smelled the breaths of Ming Hai and the others and rushed toward them.

Ming Hai's cultivation was much higher, so he killed the ghost just in a second, then he complained, "The small ghosts in the Huangquan Road are really annoying and Zhang Yan is really a good runaway!"

Not running far, he suddenly stopped and encountered a group of small ghosts with different weapons. The head one was ugly and ferocious with buckteeth.

"It's a fierce ghost!" He cried in astonishment.
