My Cultivation System

Chapter 284 - Eerie Voice

Before he could use the 'Ancient fire surge', Henrick thought that as long as he killed a thousand ambush ghosts with the skill in a single-use, it would be enough.

However, after seeing the destruction caused by the skill, Henrick was expecting to hear at least 5000 ambush ghosts to be killed.

So, when he saw that there were only 1000 ambush ghosts in the system notification, Henrick was shocked.

'Ding,

        The participant has indirectly killed more than 10000 ambush ghosts.

'Ding,

        Trial progress:- 

                      1) Killed 13997/ 1000 rank 1 ambush ghosts.

                      2) Killed 1234/ 100 rank 2 ambush ghosts.

                      3) Killed 13/ 10 rank 3 ambush ghosts.

                      4) Killed 0 / 1 rank 4 ambush ghost.

Just as he was feeling like cursing the system, he received a couple of system notifications that made him excited.

'Phew….finally, I completed three tasks.'

Henrick heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the progress of the trial.

"Moreover, I have so many crude souls now along with reputation points."

Another thing Henrick was excited about was the reward from killing more than 10000 ambush ghosts.

"Now, where should I find the rank 4 ambush ghost?"

Since he already completed the three tasks in his trial and was only left with one trial, Henrick looked at his surroundings.

Currently, he was able to see more than a few kilometers into the distance because of the light coming out of the burning ambush ghosts.

'I need to find it before the fire goes off.'

Henrick didn't waste any more time as he hurriedly rushed in a direction in which the light was brighter.

'Since there were more ambush ghosts in that direction, the chances of the rank 4 ambush ghost staying in that place will be more.'

Henrick made an assumption as he followed it.

'Huh?'

After running for a few kilometers, Henrick felt he was being watched by someone that made him raise his brows.

'Looks like the rank 4 ambush ghost has come.'

Deep inside his heart, Henrick related his feeling of being watched by someone to the appearance of the rank 4 ambush ghost.

'Wait a second. The system has already said there were rank 5 ambush ghosts sleeping in this world. What if they were woken up by the earlier explosion and watching me?'

All of a sudden, Henrick stopped in his tracks as he thought of something that made him shiver a little.

According to the system, there were some rank 5 ambush ghosts that were sleeping in order to make a breakthrough into the rank 6 realm. So that, they could create a portal to the other worlds and take their minions for invading.

'I hope my 'Ancient fire surge' skill could kill the rank 4 and injure the rank 5 ambush ghosts.'

If not for his 'Ancient fire surge', it would have taken a lot of time and energy for Henrick to just complete the first three tasks and all his hopes are on his ancient fire sure. 

If it didn't have any effect on the rank 4 and rank 5 ambush ghosts, then he would have to leave the trial in the middle.

Soon, Henricks vision started decreasing as all the remains of the ambush ghosts were coming to an end.

'Huh? What is happening?'

Before Henrick could know what was happening in his surroundings, the burning remains of the ambush ghosts disappeared making his sight limited to only 20 meters radius.

"A young human?"

As Henrick became alert with the sudden change in the environment, he heard an extremely eerie voice that raised Henirick's hair.

"Who is there?"

Until now, he had fought with rank 1 to rank 3 ambush ghosts; however, not a single one of them spoke; however, since he heard an eerie voice, Henrick assumed that the ambush ghost must be at least a rank 4.

'It might even be a rank 5 ambush ghost.'

Henrick have a bad feeling regarding the voice; however, he didn't show his fear on his face/

"Haha….interesting."

To Henrick's reply, the eerie voice started laughing eerily as he started speaking, "It's been more than a couple of decades since I saw a human. Moreover, he is such a young one. I forgot the taste of a young man after not eating for years."

'What? Taste of a young human?'

Henrick frowned when he heard those words.

"Since you have awakened me, you have to become my food...keke."

With the same eerie laugh, the voice from the dark came that made Henrick fear increase with each passing second.

Even though the ancient fire demons were very brave, they were not completely immune to fear.

So, he could not help but fear.

'I have to remain calm and should not show fear.'

Henrick learned from the ambush ghosts likes to ambush and lives in the fear of other beings before eating them. So, he knew that the eerie voice was trying to instil fear into him.

But still, there was something in that voice that made Henrick shiver a little.

"Keke...young human, I have a deal for you. As long as you answer me a couple of questions, I can let you go from here."

From the distance, in the darkness, two eyes were noticing Henrick as it asked Henrick.

It was the same being that was speaking with Henrick and even managed to instil fear into Henrick successfully for a while now.

"What deal?"

When he heard those words, Henrick frowned because he knew it was not as easy as the eerie voice says it is.

Nevertheless, he could not reject the deal without hearing it.

So, he asked about the deal with some expectations that the deal would be a good one even when he knew it was not possible.

"That's what I like about human kids...Keke."

As soon as he got a reply from Henrick, the eerie voice became excited as he revealed his eerie laugh.
