C291 Water Ghost

The gusts of cold wind whistled around him, giving off a feeling as if he had entered the Underworld. Furthermore, this place was an unknown depth underground, and the light source around him was merely the light emitted by the sword in his hand, making Zheng Lei feel even more terrified.

Zheng Lei stopped and listened to the wind that sounded like ghosts crying. He couldn't help but pull at his clothes and said to himself, "Why is it getting colder and colder? As though being cold to the bone, it is trembling non-stop. Could it be that it has fallen into another person's formation? "

In his confusion, Zheng Lei took out his Saint Force Ruler and looked at it. A golden light faintly sparkled. This meant that his current location wasn't safe, but it didn't look like he had entered the array.

He suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to walk forward. However, the more he walked, the more he felt as if someone was following him. Seeing a protruding rock behind him, he quickly dodged and hid behind it.

After holding his breath for a while, Zheng Lei peeked his head out to take a look. He couldn't see anything. Other than the ghostly wails of the wind, he couldn't hear anything else.

"Strange, there's clearly no one here. Why do I feel like someone is following me?" Zheng Lei muttered to himself as he slowly turned around with a frown on his face.

All of a sudden, he felt as if something had licked his face, and he was shocked. Waving the sword in his hand, he drew a flower of sword in front of him, and at the same time, retreated two steps to the side.

"Who is it!?" "Come out!" Zheng Lei shouted into the darkness.

The cave was as deathly still as ever. Occasionally, there would be the sound of water dripping onto water, echoing powerlessly in the air.

Zheng Lei didn't dare to be careless. The feeling he got earlier was so real that he even touched his face, it was still wet. There must be something waiting in front, it shouldn't be human, because people don't have such long tongues.

"Could it be a snake?" Zheng Lei guessed in his heart, "Since it's like that, then …"

Zheng Lei raised his hand and spirit energy circulated in his hand. A moment later, he suddenly slapped forward and a fire snake appeared out of thin air. It quickly shot forward. Although Zheng Lei had already learned it long ago, it was useless against an enemy. After all, it was only an elementary level skill. It didn't have much power, but it was very suitable to be used here.

The cave was suddenly illuminated. Zheng Lei's eyes were wide open as he looked at the situation inside the cave, but he didn't discover anything abnormal. Other than the jagged rocks and the quiet flowing river, there was nothing else.

Looking at the surface of the water, there weren't any ripples. Earlier, there was no sound of anything entering the water, so it shouldn't have escaped into the water. There was only one possibility: after licking Zheng Lei once, the creature quietly retreated into the water.

The fire serpents gradually disappeared. Suddenly, there was no light and all Zheng Lei could see was darkness.

This time, Zheng Lei did not completely disperse the spiritual energy. As his right hand danced with the sword, he stretched out his left hand and a ball of fire appeared above his palm. The moment it appeared, it exploded and formed a ring of fire that quickly spread out.

This series of actions had been done in one go. Even if some beast attacked him, it might not be able to escape in such a short period of time.

At the same time the fire circle exploded, Zheng Lei's body quickly spun around, then the fire circle disappeared with a 'pa' sound.

Zheng Lei sighed, "As expected, my control over fire spells is too weak. I can't even support a diameter of three meters. If I were to let someone suitable to practice fire magic, I'd think I could reach a diameter of a dozen meters."

Within the two meter radius of fire, he did not discover anything abnormal. Zheng Lei could not help but feel disappointed, just as he went to White Cloud Temple, Tian Chenyang had conducted a similar test on him, and at that time, he already knew that he was not suitable to cultivate fire type spells, but the most suitable technique for him was actually thunder.

Zheng Lei didn't know if this was related to his name having the word "Lei", but the truth was there. No matter how conflicted he was, it was useless.

"I think it's better to use lightning. Although it hurts my eyes when I shake it, at least I can extend it a little bit longer." As Zheng Lei spoke, he pointed forward with his finger. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning shot out from Zheng Lei's palm, instantly illuminating the ten meter long cave.

However, the lightning did not illuminate the area steadily like the flames. Instead, it flickered non-stop, causing Zheng Lei's eyes to flash like stars.

Under the flashes of lightning, Zheng Lei finally discovered something. A few dozen meters away from him, there was a person who was huddled up against the wall with all his might, seemingly fearful of the flashes of lightning.

"I've finally found you. You sure are abnormal. You actually dared to lick my face while it's dark!" Zheng Lei said angrily, lightning flashed in his hands as he raised his sword and rushed towards that person.

That person was facing the wall and seemed to have felt Zheng Lei coming over. He turned his head and saw Zheng Lei rushing towards him. He was so scared that he kneeled down with his hands crossed in front of his chest and pressed his head against the wall.

In the blink of an eye, Zheng Lei rushed over to this person's side and placed the long sword horizontally on this person's neck.

"Who are you? Why did you sneak an attack on me? " Zheng Lei said coldly.

This person suddenly turned his head and glanced at Zheng Lei. He then cried out "Ah!" as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

When Zheng Lei saw this person, his heart skipped a beat.

What kind of face was this? His face was pale, as if he had been submerged in water for many years. Even his facial features could not be seen. His eyes, which were almost squeezed into a slit, were still leaking yellow pus.

A tongue drooped powerlessly in a mouth full of mud. It was unknown whether it was saliva or sewage, but it was dripping down drop by drop.

"Waa ~ waa …" Zheng Lei couldn't help but hold his stomach and vomit.

Could it be that this thing was licking his face just now? Isn't it too disgusting? How could he move around so recklessly when things were already like this? What was the difference between this and a dead man? A whole drowned ghost. Zheng Lei said gloomily as he vomited.

Suddenly, Zheng Lei stopped vomiting. Drown ghost? He quickly looked at the man's clothes and saw that they were soaked, sticking tightly to his body. The exposed parts of his body, like his face, had turned white.

It really was a ghost! With this thought in mind, Zheng Lei's hands couldn't help but slow down as the water ghost suddenly turned around and charged towards him, hissing.

Zheng Lei was slightly startled and subconsciously waved his long sword. A wave of flames mixed with a furious roar came roaring out. This water ghost had turned into Zheng Lei's spirit under the sword and shattered into pieces that scattered all over the place.
