If I kill ghosts, I will become stronger: Invincibility starts with breathing

Chapter 393 Attack
Lu Yao woke up naturally at 10:[-] the next morning.

After waking up, he felt that his mental state had improved a little bit.

He didn't come downstairs right away.

He took out a primary Tianyuan pill, swallowed it, then closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to impact the third meridian.

About 51 minutes later, Lu Yao felt nauseous, knowing that his body had reached its limit.

Lu Yao opened his eyes and stood up.

It was already 11:[-] in the morning.

After Lu Yao washed up, he packed up his things, left his room and went downstairs. He asked the owner of the inn to start preparing lunch.

After 10 minutes, several partners also went downstairs one after another.

"It's good to rest!" Du Tong stretched his hands and said.

"It's good for everyone to recover, so that you can display your stable strength." Lu Yao said with a smile.

"Let's eat our lunch now, and then we can leave for the castle."

"This time the mission may be a little dangerous, everyone should be careful and don't try to be brave."

"Understood!" Several people nodded.

After about 10 minutes, the owner of the inn began to serve dishes one after another.

After finishing lunch, Lu Yao went to the front desk to return the room, then left the inn with a few partners, and started walking towards the gate of the city.

After another half an hour, they finally left the city gate.

He even started to speed up his own speed, rushing towards this time's destination.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, they finally found the location of the castle.

In the viscount's territory, there are some farm laborers who manage the fields for them.

The Viscount Castle is actually not big, only about 40 acres.

"I heard that the one who disappeared at first was a nearby farm laborer. Later, the Viscount went to the base of the ghost-slayer team to issue tasks, and ghost-slayers took over the tasks one after another." Lu Yao said to several partners.

"In the beginning, it was just some mid-level ghost slayers who took over the task, but they all lost track of it."

"Later, some high-level ghost slayers took over the task, but they still disappeared."

"Until the last time, a ghost slayer at the captain level finally took over the task."

"There is still no news, which means that they must have encountered an accident."

"So this mission is still a little dangerous. If it's really because of the ogre, then we may have to face that the ogre's strength is at least not as good as that of the junior big ghost."

For Lu Yao and the others, of course, the junior big ghosts did not pose any threat.

Even Du Tong and the others can fight against the junior big ghost, while Lu Yao can easily kill the junior big ghost.

But if there is a middle-level big ghost, Du Tong and the others will find it difficult to compete.

But this time they didn't do the task alone, they did it together, even if they were not opponents one-on-one, they could unite to fight against each other.

What Lu Yao was worried about was that there was more than one big ghost in the castle.

"Don't worry, we will be careful!" Du Tong said.

Several people walked towards the castle, and were stopped by a young man at the gate, who was the guard of the castle.

"Hi, we are the Ghost Slayers from the Ghost Slaughtering Team. This time, we have accepted the task issued by Lord Viscount, so we came here to take a look at the situation." Lu Yao said to the guard.

"You are finally here." The guard saw Lu Yao and the others, as if they had seen a savior.

"Please wait a moment, I will go in and inform you now."

Then the guards immediately walked into the castle, leaving Lu Yao and the others here.

"This castle feels so deserted, and there is only one guard at the gate of this castle." Zhao Dieyi was a little surprised.

"And the so-called expression is not very good, it seems to be a bit frightened, and it can be seen that something has happened in the castle recently."

In a general Viscount castle, the number of guards exceeds at least 50 people.

The number of maids and servants is even greater.

The castle in front of him was sparsely populated, and there seemed to be only three or four guards, and even the number of maids and servants could not be seen.

After about 20 minutes, the guard finally came back, followed by an old man in his 60s.

"My lords, this is the butler of our castle." The guard said to Lu Yao and the others.

"He will take you to see Lord Viscount!"

"My lords, you are finally here!" The butler seemed relieved when he saw Lu Yao and the others, and it was obvious that he was under a lot of pressure recently.

"If there are still no adults from the Ghost Slayer Team to take over the task, our Lord Viscount may consider moving out of the castle."

"It's not just that the Viscount is having a bad time, but we guards and servants are also panicking." The guard on the side said.

"There were more than 40 people in our viscount's guard team before, but now there are only the last three."

"All these people disappeared?" Lu Yao asked curiously, "About 40 guards disappeared?"

"It's not that so many people are missing." The guard shook his head and said, "There are also more than 20 guards missing, and of course there are more than 40 farm servants who have disappeared."

"There are still some people who can't stand it anymore and left the castle by themselves to go to other places."

"If you come two days later, I may not be able to bear it."

After hearing the so-called situation, Lu Yao realized that the situation was more serious than he imagined.

"If there really were ogres, then they disappeared, and there are so many people that ogres would have eaten a lot of people." Lu Yao said to several partners.

"And some of these are our ghost-slayers."

"Ghost-slayers are powerful and have more vigorous energy and blood. It is more useful for an ogre to eat a middle-level ghost-slayer than to eat four or five ordinary people. This can speed up their promotion."

"I guessed that there should be ogres at the level of junior big ghosts here."

"Looking at it now, even if it was an ogre with the level of a junior big ghost before, after eating so many people, it must now have the strength of a middle-level big ghost, and maybe it will be even stronger."

The expressions of the surrounding partners also became more dignified.

The butler led them into the castle, which has two floors.

The second floor is where the Viscount and Viscountess live.

In ordinary castles, you can also see busy maids and servants coming and going.

But this castle was very deserted. After entering the castle, except for the butler, they never saw a living person again.

They came to the living room on the second floor.

"Guys, please wait a moment, I will inform Lord Viscount now." The butler said politely.

Then he left the living room.

Lu Yao and the others sat on the chairs in the hall, waiting for the Viscount's arrival.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the Viscount and Madam Viscountess came to the living room together.

The viscount looked bad, and seemed to be in poor health.

The Viscountess looks in her 30s, with a plump figure and still charming charm.

"Hello, Mr. Viscount, madam." Lu Yao stood up and took a step forward, "We are ghost slayers from the ghost slayer team, and this time we have received the mission you issued."

"So I want to know the situation."

"Sit down, everyone!" said the Viscount.

There was a bitter expression on his face.

"If you guys don't come, I'm afraid I'll have to leave here." The Viscount sighed, "This is my ancestral property. If it's not a last resort, I really don't want to leave."

"But there is no other way now, if we don't leave, maybe we will be killed too."

Then Lord Viscount began to introduce the recent situation.

The first ones to disappear were the guards in their castle. It was okay at first, and only one person disappeared every week.

But then the situation became more and more serious, and more and more people disappeared every week.

As the number of guards and attendants dwindled, the surrounding farm laborers also began to disappear.

"When we were sleeping at night recently, we could even hear the sound of footsteps, and even the sound of roaring and roaring." The Viscount said, "Perhaps there are really unclean things in our castle."

"We think there may be ogres hiding in the castle."

"I also know that your ghost-slaying team is an organization that deals with incidents such as cannibals and cannibalism, so I also issued a task for you."

"You Ghost Slaughter Team has also come one after another, no less than ten people, but this matter has not been resolved yet, and those people have disappeared into the castle."

"Brothers, this matter is indeed very dangerous. If you are not sure, I suggest that you call more people over."

Seeing these young people in front of me intuitively, I don't think they have great strength, and I am very worried about whether they can complete this task and help them solve this incident.

"Don't worry, Lord Viscount." Lei Ming saw the worry of Lord Viscount, and said comfortingly.

"We are stronger than those ghost slayers who took on the task before."

"The weakest among us are all squad leader-level ghost slayers, while Lu Yao is a squadron leader-level ghost slayer."

"We will definitely be able to solve this matter for you this time."

"Well, I still hope that you can survive." The Viscount said helplessly.

"The sound of footsteps and beasts came from the night, and it is estimated that those evil spirits came out at night."

"We used to think that we were dangerous, and we might be eaten by ogres soon, but even if those evil spirits ate those Gu Ming outside the castle, they still kept us."

"It may be because the ogres know that you are a viscount and have a distinguished status. They know that after eating you, those people may leave here, so they deliberately keep you, which can be regarded as keeping other people. "Lu Yao guessed.

"Maybe!" the Viscount said helplessly, "It seems that those things still have some wisdom."

Lu Yao was almost certain that the missing people in the castle were related to ogres, and the lowest level of these ogres was middle-level ghosts.

Because only when you reach the level of a big ghost, you will have a certain amount of wisdom.

Perhaps it was just as Lu Yao guessed that these ogres kept the viscount and the viscountess from eating, in order to keep more blood food outside.

"Master Viscount, in a short time, you and Madam should be safe." Lu Yao said to the Viscount, "They should save you and Madam until the end to eat them, so that they will have a chance and be able to continue eating one after another." Let's get rid of these people in the castle."

"We'll definitely get rid of the haunting ogre tonight, and you'll be safe then."

"Those ogres also come out at night, and we will send people to guard you."

This castle is not big, and it is not small.

It is of course very difficult for Lu Yao and the others to protect everyone.

"Zhan Yu, you will protect the Viscount and his wife at night." Lu Yao arranged, "The rest of us will guard in other places in the castle separately."

"If you really encounter an ogre, everyone can shout loudly, and we can gather together instantly after hearing the sound."

"This time the ogre must be very powerful, everyone must be careful and don't try to be brave."

"Then I will trouble you!" the Viscount thanked.

After hearing Lu Yao's arrangement, I felt a little relieved.

After they chatted for a while, it was getting late, and the Viscount and Viscountess were going to rest.

Zhan Yu was in charge of guarding at the door of the Viscount's bedroom. Besides him on the second floor, Lei Ming and Zhao Dieyi were also guarding at other places on the second floor.

There are three people on the second floor.

There are two people guarding on the first floor, namely Lu Yao and Du Tong.

After all, outside the castle is the area where the farmhands live. If the ogres are not in the castle and go to the farmhands' house, they will be able to catch up to the ogres faster on the first floor.

The faint moonlight shone in the castle, the surroundings were also silent, and everyone slowly fell asleep.

Only Lu Yao and the others still dare not rest.

At this time, in the corridors of the castle, oil lamps have been lit one after another, this is also to make everyone feel safer.

But in fact, lighting up these oil lamps didn't have much impact on those ogres at all.

Those cannibals are afraid of the sun.

Lu Yao sat cross-legged on the ground, trying to attack the third meridian.

The other partners are also working hard to hit the realm of the real martial arts.

Zhan Yu, who was guarding at the door of the viscount's bedroom, was also closing his eyes at the bottleneck of the acquired realm.

He didn't dare to enter into deep meditation, after all, now is the time to be vigilant.

A few days ago, he was halfway from breaking through the first stage of the real martial arts stage, and he was still halfway through the bottleneck stage.

Now under such a stressful environment, he could feel that the power of Qi and blood became more active, and the effect of the impact seemed to become more obvious.

Suddenly a cold wind hit, and then a black shadow quickly attacked him.

The oil lamp in front of him was also quickly extinguished.

"Be careful, there are ogres!" Zhan Yu quickly stood up and shouted loudly.

He held the Ghost Slaying Knife tightly in his hand, and slashed along the shadow's position.

"Boom!" sounded.

He could feel a huge force concentrated on his Ghost Slaying Knife, and then he flew upside down.

His back fell on the door of the viscount's house, and the door couldn't bear the rear thrust, and was quickly propped open.

And in the bedroom were the Viscount and Viscountess who were awakened.

The two hugged each other tightly, with terrified expressions on their faces at this moment.
