My Cultivation System

Chapter 275 - Cowardly Ambush Ghosts

Henrick stopped worrying about the ambush ghost and wanted to know more about them because only then, he could fight them better.

So, he didn't waste any time and kept an eye on his surroundings before asking the system to take the rank 1 ambush ghost as the sample.

'Ding,

          Rank 1 ambush ghost is detected.

'Ding,

          Requesting the inheritance building to give the permission for the challenger to know more about 'Ambush Ghosts'.

As soon as he said that, the system sent a request to the inheritance building and within no time, the system notifications once again rang in his head.

'Ding,

        Access granted by the inheritance building.

'Ding,

        Beast name:- Ambush ghost.

        Information:- Beasts born with only a single intent and it is to ambush beings other than their own race. They own 'Minor ghost world' and don't like intruders. Also, once an ambush ghost reaches the immortal realm, they can create a portal to send their minions into another world to create havoc with their ambush.

        More details:- Low-level ambush ghosts like to live in groups of more than 1000. If you encounter a single rank 1 or rank 2 ambush ghost, there will be more nearby. So, be careful.

Soon, the system gave him complete information on the ambush ghosts.

'Oh. So, they can create portals when they become powerful.'

Finally, Henrick understood why he was sent to this world to kill these ambush ghosts.

After going through a few trials, Henrick understood that the inheritance building never made him kill an innocent. He killed either mindless beasts who wanted nothing but blood and invaders who wanted to take the cultivation resources in a world before destroying them.

As for these ambush ghosts, after seeing the information about them, Henrick understood he was not killing any innocent beings, because these ambush ghosts are just mindless beings that would ambush other beings before killing them.

'Also, I didn't expect these to be beasts.'

Looking at the corpse of the ambush ghost which was disappearing into tiny light particles at an incredibly slow pace and thought to his head.

"Oh no, I have to be careful."

He didn't waste too much time with random thoughts after seeing where those tiny light particles were going.

'Pooh'

The tiny light particles were going straight into the sky and formed a skull that emitted a light before vanishing into nothingness.

Only after seeing the glowing skull in the sky just around 10-20 meters above him, Henrick realised that the low-level ambush ghosts live in groups.

So, he became even more careful and got ready to be surrounded by hundreds of low-level ambush ghosts.

'Huh?'

However, he saw no one rushing at him which made him frown.

'Wait for a second.'

All of a sudden, Henrick recalled something as he muttered, 'These ambush ghosts only ambush no matter how powerful they are. So, I think I should act less vigilant.'

As soon as he got that thought in his head, Henrick lessened his alertness and spoke to himself, "It looks like there is no one."

Soon, a relieved expression appeared on his face as he walked forward without any aim to his destination.

'I see them.'

As he moved forward, Henrick saw a group of grey-coloured floating beings that were not even bothered to hide because they still think that Henrick's sight is less than 10 or 20 meters in radius. So they continued to maintain a distance of 20 meters from Henrick and waited for an opportunity.

'I have never seen such cowardly beasts in my life.'

Henrick silently thought in his head because no matter how much of a relaxed expression he put on his face, no one was coming to attack him.

But, at the same time, they were not leaving him which made Henrick really pissed at them.

'Since you are not attacking me, I will start killing you then.'

Henrick, as a fire demon, didn't have much patience. So, he could not wait until the ambush ghosts came near him. So, he decided to attack them first.

"Die,"

'Swoosh'

All of a sudden, his rank 4 weapon burning spear appeared out of nowhere and without wasting any time, Henrick threw it towards a place where it was heavily crowded with ambush ghosts.

'Swoosh'

'Puchi'

However, to his surprise, the spear was able to catch only one ambush ghost.

'Swoosh'

"Where are you escaping to?"

As for Henrick, he appeared at the place where the ambush ghosts would escape from his burning spear and shouted, "Gigantic demon blade, appear."

As soon as he said that, a huge black-coloured blade appeared in his hands and he made a complete 360-degree swing with it.

'Kacha'

'Puchi'

'Thud'

Compared to the rank 4 burning spear, the gigantic demon blade killed more ambush ghosts which he was unable to count.

Before throwing the spear, Henrick had thought that his spear would kill more than a dozen ambush ghosts and there were only two directions, the remaining ambush ghost could escape.

So, it was within Henrick's plan all along to rush into the right side to kill them.

However, what he didn't expect was that the rank 4 burning spear only killed a single Ambush ghost.

'Let it be, I am sure my gigantic demon blade has killed more than a dozen ambush ghosts.'

Henrick consoled himself as he looked at the rest of the ambush ghost which already distanced himself.

'Ding,

          Master killed a total of 18 rank 1 ambush ghosts along with 2 rank 2 ambush ghosts in his attack.

'Ding,

        Master gained 20 reputation points and 24 crude souls (18 from rank 1 ambush ghost and 6 from rank 2 ambush ghosts.)

'Ding,

        Trial progress:- 

                      1) Killed 19 / 1000 rank 1 ambush ghosts.

                      2) Killed 2 / 100 rank 2 ambush ghosts.

                      3) Killed 0 / 10 rank 3 ambush ghosts.

                      4) Killed 0 / 1 rank 4 ambush ghost.

'This looks like. I can complete the first three tasks without any problem.'

Henrick shook his body a little with excitement as he eyed the ambush ghosts in the distance.
