Ghost Catching System

Han Qianxue’s head was full of black lines as she said, ”I don’t need you to protect me, did you hear me clearly?”

Chu Hao couldn’t be bothered to argue with her; the only reason he said that was because he was afraid the Corpse Chief’s head would get snatched.

”You can’t put it like that. As a man, I can’t just stand on the side watching a girl make a move. That would bring down heavenly wrath on me.” Chu Hao said.

Han Qianxue was fuming. This guy clearly just wanted to show off in front of Su Yao; she couldn’t let him keep this up.

Su Yao said, ”Stop talking, hurry up and look—what’s that?”

The two of them looked over. In the direction Su Yao pointed, there was a red flower, a very large blossom.

Su Yao was well-read in the classics; she smiled lightly and said, ”Our luck is really good. That’s a Demonic Tuber Red Moon Flower. Whether it’s the petals or the tuber fruit underground, the demon tuber is a top-grade medicine; it can unlock shackled talents.”

Han Qianxue was shocked.

Medicines that unlock shackles were extremely rare and precious.

Chu Hao had already moved, digging out the Demonic Tuber Red Moon Flower. He didn’t hog it—he handed it to Su Yao.

”For you.”

Su Yao didn’t take it, pushing it back as she said, ”I don’t want it. You take it—you need it more.”

Chu Hao was stunned. Does this girl really like me? Or is it just because I saved her, so she’s being nice?

Han Qianxue walked over and snatched the Demonic Tuber Red Moon Flower. ”I’ll take it.”

Chu Hao tossed out, ”Are the Saintesses of your Great Ancestor Holy Land all this poor? It’s just a Demonic Tuber Red Moon Flower.”

Han Qianxue’s face went dark. She did indeed look down on this herb, but she was pissed at Chu Hao.

Han Qianxue said, ”None of your business.”

Chu Hao sighed, ”So poor. Forget it, I’ll just give it to you.”

Wang Ba.

Han Qianxue was so mad she could go insane. She smashed the Demonic Tuber Red Moon Flower at Chu Hao, but Chu Hao grabbed it with one hand and put it away, smiling as he said, ”Let’s keep going.”

Han Qianxue’s face was pitch black. How shameless could one person be? She’d been played again.

”Just you wait,” Han Qianxue thought through gritted teeth.

This mountain range really did have a lot of medicinal herbs. If people ever discovered this place, countless people would probably flood in very quickly.

All the way along, they found many herbs that were extremely precious in the outside world. This place reminded Chu Hao of the Snowy Shadow Domain.

Su Yao said, ”Judging from the way the herbs grow here, the higher we go, the more herbs there will be. I wonder if there’s a Medicine King.”

Ghost Shadows looked at Su Yao in surprise. This little girl knew a lot.

Ghost Shadows nodded and said, ”There is indeed a Medicine King, but it’s very hard to find.”

A Medicine King had at least fifty thousand years of age at minimum; such herbs had basically already gained sentience.

Their effects went without saying—even those in the Emperor Realm would go crazy for them.

It was said that some Medicine Kings, when taken, could extend one’s lifespan.

Top-tier Medicine Kings, once refined and eaten, could let a person live another whole lifetime, godlike beyond belief.

Up ahead, the path was blocked—not by a Formation, but because that stretch of forest was full of Corpse Chiefs. Just from Chu Hao’s vantage in the sky, he spotted seven or eight of them.

”Why are there so many Corpse Chiefs?” Chu Hao asked Ghost Shadows.

Ghost Shadows thought for a moment, then said, ”Perhaps they’re searching for something, like a Medicine King.”

During the period when the Corpse Demon Flower was dormant, some Corpse Chiefs slept as well, while others appeared from time to time. They would search for Medicine Kings for their own leader.

Of course, the leader spoken of here wasn’t the Corpse Demon Flower, but certain leader-type Corpse Chiefs among them.

Chu Hao said to the two girls, ”Be careful up ahead. I’ll open the way—keep up.”

Chu Hao put on the Devil Mask, masking all of his aura. He drew his bow and loosed arrow after arrow; Corpse Chiefs were taken care of one after another.

The power of the Ice Lingering Silver Tracing Bow was displayed to the fullest at this moment. Terrifying cold qi froze one Corpse Chief after another. If he had to fight them head-on, it would be tough.

After clearing the nearby Corpse Chiefs, Chu Hao suddenly noticed a streak of golden light flashing past, carrying a seductive fragrance.

Chu Hao instinctively swallowed.

It was a butterfly.

Su Yao cried out, ”It’s a Medicine King, the Great Horned Golden Tear Butterfly!”

Han Qianxue was also shocked. She took the lead, charging after that golden butterfly.

A Medicine King that had taken the form of a living creature—this was truly too special. The Great Horned Golden Tear Butterfly only appeared in records; in millions of years, very few had ever seen it.

The Great Horned Golden Tear Butterfly was a herb that had taken the form of a flower-based creature. Eating it could raise one to Foundation Building Emperor Realm; it would drive countless people mad.

Chu Hao exploded into extreme speed, ”Boom”—with a sonic boom, he was almost as fast as one could possibly be.

Even Han Qianxue was left behind by him.

However, the Great Horned Golden Tear Butterfly was very special—it ignored the Formation and passed through, forcing Chu Hao to stop and chase from another direction.

”Shadow Concealing Step.”

Chu Hao was incredibly fast, his figure streaking like a bolt of lightning.

Just as he was about to catch up to the Great Horned Golden Tear Butterfly, ready to pin it down with his alchemy cauldron—

His alchemy cauldron was smacked flying by a palm, and an extremely cold voice said, ”It’s mine. Get lost.”

The newcomer was a man, handsome-faced, with inch-long cropped hair. A silver earring hung from his left ear, and he was at least eight feet tall.

The Great Horned Golden Tear Butterfly flew away, and Chu Hao was pissed. Who the hell was this punk to dare ruin his business?

Without another word, Chu Hao struck, blasting out a punch with Power of Qiankun. The inch-haired man snorted coldly, and sent out a palm strike in response.

That palm carried an extreme blaze; before it even got close to Chu Hao, he could feel the violent power.

”Boom.”

This small pocket of space blew apart. The clash of two waves of energy made the forest rustle wildly.

The inch-haired man was somewhat surprised.

”Young master.”

Several people appeared, staring at Chu Hao with killing intent.

The inch-haired man said, ”You all go after it.”

They nodded.

A few of them gave chase; the Great Horned Golden Tear Butterfly was too important.

The inch-haired man clasped his hands behind his back and said, ”To actually take one of my palms—you have some skill. I’ll give you a chance. Become this young master’s subordinate, and I’ll guarantee your future will be limitless.”

This guy was really arrogant—opens his mouth and wants to subdue him.

Chu Hao said, ”I’m short one lackey, and I believe you’d make a very good lackey.”

The inch-haired man was furious; this guy was even more arrogant than him. ”Are you courting death?”

Chu Hao didn’t want to waste words. He drew the Ice Lingering Silver Tracing Bow and shot five arrows.

The inch-haired man punched out; his fist carried an extreme blaze and exploded as soon as it touched the ice arrows.

After five detonations, the inch-haired man was blasted backward, crashing into a tree trunk. His face was full of rage.

This guy actually wasn’t affected by the cold currents and had blocked five arrows with his fists.

”Seeking death.”

The inch-haired man formed seals with both hands; his cheeks puffed up and he spewed out a terrifying wave of giant fire toward Chu Hao.

Chu Hao also formed seals with both hands and said, ”Dragon of Flame.”

An equally startling Fire Wave surged forth. The two fires collided, erupting with terrifying power; this entire area was incinerated.

”Burning Burial.”

With that icy shout, half the sky rolled up into a terrifying Fire Wave. A gigantic flaming human head appeared, a full thousand meters high, devouring the area where Chu Hao stood.

”Boom!”

The earth shook and the mountains quaked.

The arriving Su Yao and Han Qianxue were also startled.
