"Boss Mu, what should we do? Kill it or let it go?"
Wang Tong turned his head to ask.
Mutated Beings usually kill Evil Ghosts on sight.
The reason why he was asking Xiao Mu's opinion was due to the misdeeds of the Red Nether Association earlier that had visibly enraged Wang Tong. Rather than killing the Evil Ghost, he would rather leave it be, so as to cause more trouble for the Red Nether Association.
In truth, once they had reached their level of cultivation, encountering Evil Ghosts no longer meant it had to end in death.
After all, killing an Evil Ghost would typically only yield an Energy Crystal. The power provided by an Energy Crystal was limited and wouldn't make much difference to them at this point.
So, for them, they were more interested in taking out the Evil Ghost Camp. Usually, there would be treasures within the camp, and the gain from this would be more significant compared to merely killing an Evil Ghost.
"You guys wait here, hide and don't reveal yourselves. I'm going over to an old friend."
After casting a glance at the crowd of Evil Ghosts, Xiao Mu's eyes suddenly flashed.
In the crowd of Evil Ghosts, he surprisingly found a familiar face, or rather, a familiar ghost.
"Boss Mu, you know Evil Ghosts too?"
Wang Tong was filled with surprise, with a sense of disbelief in his voice.
Xiao Mu nodded, signaling Zhao Yan and Wang Tong to hide, while he himself stepped out, slowly creeping toward the group of ghosts.
Ahead, there were approximately a dozen Evil Ghosts lurking. Aside from the Blood Demon leading them, the rest were at the level of Evil Ghosts.
Following the instructions of the Blue Blood Ghost, the group of ghosts quickly dispersed, transforming into a Ghost Mist and drifting away to surround the small hill where the Red Nether Association was located, to probe and monitor their movements.
Once the other Evil Ghosts had moved far away, Xiao Mu appeared and neared the Blue Blood Ghost. Surprisingly, he coughed.
"Who's that?"
The Blue Blood Ghost obviously hadn't anticipated someone to suddenly approach. He was startled, quickly turned his head.
When he saw Xiao Mu clearly, the look of surprise on the Blue Blood Ghost's face turned into horror, his body trembling, and his teeth chattering. "It's a human!"
"Hehe! Long time no see!"
Xiao Mu greeted the Blue Blood Ghost with a slight smile on his face.
This Blue Blood Ghost was the Yue he had encountered in the Evil Ghosts secret realm before. At that time, the opponent was only at the level of a green Blood Demon. He didn't expect that after a while, it would have leveled up to the level of a blue Blood Demon.
"Human, I... I haven't done any evil."
Yue's teeth were chattering, his face twisted in fear lest Xiao Mu would suddenly launch an attack to kill it.
"Hehe! Don't be nervous, I'm just here to catch up with you."
Xiao Mu said with a light smile.
"Catch... catch up?"
Yue was stunned.
A human wanted to catch up with him? What could they possibly catch up on?
"Weren't you in the Evil Ghost Realm? How did you get out?"
Xiao Mu casually asked, looking like he genuinely wanted to catch up.
Seeing this, Yue slightly relaxed, his tense expression easing. He started to answer Xiao Mu's questions as though pouring out all his problems.
As it turned out, due to Xiao Mu breaking the Evil Ghost Secret Realm, taking away the Mutated Cannon Fragments, all the Spiritual Metal, and ruining Ming's plan, Yue was worried about facing punishment if it stayed. It then chose to flee, the very first chance it got after Xiao Mu left the Evil Ghost Secret Realm.
After escaping, it didn't dare to return to the Dongye Ghost Clan, and directly turned to the rival Chihuo Ghost Clan.
It randomly made up an identity, claiming to be a Blood Demon that evolved in the Human World, even changed its name to Lei. The other party didn't suspect a thing.
This led him to join the subordinate ranks of Cursed Ghost General Li from the Chihuo Ghost Clan.
Subsequently, due to his improved strength, he evolved from a green blood ghost to a blue blood ghost and was then promoted to a small headman. He led the scout team and was specifically responsible for exploratory tasks.
This time, as the camp of chen, a purplish-black blood ghost under the command of Chihuo Ghost Tribe's General Li, was occupied by the Red Nether Association and the evil ghosts therein were also killed.
Since an energy fruit tree that is about to mature grows in this camp, it is very important. The Chihuo General dispatched his subordinate purple-black blood general, Chen, to lead troops in an attempt to recapture the camp.
As the leader of the scout squad, Yue was dispatched to investigate the situation and understand the manpower and strength of the Red Nether Association in the camp.
"What did you say? An energy fruit tree? There's an energy fruit tree growing in the camp?"
Upon hearing Yue's words, Xiao Mu was surprised.
The Red Nether Association had occupied a place of ruins where an energy fruit tree grew.
This is an energy fruit tree, not just energy fruit, since it's a tree, at least a dozen or two dozen energy fruits are expected to grow from it.
No wonder earlier, when Wang Jie came to find me, she told me that she needed help, and wanted to invite me to cooperate.
Although I don't know what happened after Wang Jie went up the mountain that caused the middle-aged man to decline my help on his return, it can be seen that the Red Nether Association is quite cautious about the discovery of an energy fruit tree in the ruins they occupy.
"Yes, don't... aren't you here for the energy fruit tree?"
Yue was surprised, finding it unbelievable.
Anyone who would come here, isn't it for the energy fruit tree? Yet from the tone of the person, it seems like he did not know about the energy fruit tree in the ruins.
How strange!
Xiao Mu nodded slightly, but did not respond to Yue's words.
Previously, when he did not know what the so-called treasure in the ruins occupied by the Red Nether Association was, he probably wouldn't have been tempted. Now that he knows that the so-called treasure is an energy fruit tree, and it's about to mature, how could he not be tempted?
Since it's an energy fruit tree, how can he let it go?
Even if not directly competing with the Red Nether Association, aren't there still the evil ghosts?
He might as well wait for the evil ghosts to snatch the energy fruit tree from the Red Nether Association and then participate in the competition.
"Did you all from the Chihuo Ghost Clan, including your lord, come to reclaim the camp this time?"
After calming down, Xiao Mu started asking again for information, and secretly was somewhat worried.
General Li of the Chihuo Ghost Clan is a notorious curse ghost.
If the curse ghost comes, he really isn't an opponent, and he has to carefully consider whether to stay and participate in the scramble for the energy fruit tree.
After all, the strength of a curse ghost in the Fourth Realm and theirs were not in the same league. There was no chance of victory at all.
Yue shook his head and said, "General Li will not participate. Do you... do you know of the Three-party Agreement?"
Xiao Mu nodded, he of course knew about the so-called Three-party Agreement.
In the human world, evil ghosts, and zombies have an agreement that the beings in the Fourth Realm should not arbitrarily move against the beings in the Third Realm and below.
Unexpectedly, Li actually abides by this agreement.
After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Mu felt that this behavior of his was within reason.
After all, previously, both Ming and the ancient battlefield relics in Qiwu Mountain had curse ghosts who had attempted or were planning to act against humans. Their fates turned out to be quite miserable.
Ming wanted to act against Xiao Mu, but in the end he was injured by the sword in Shi Gui Shangren's eyes.
The curse ghost in the ancient battlefield relics of Qiwu Mountain acted against humans and was suppressed by the Qing Yan monk.
Perhaps, the reason Li did not act was not to maintain the demeanor of a gentleman, but due to his concerns.
But no matter how you look at it, the fact that they did not act is a great benefit for Xiao Mu.
