Chapter 240: Human-Shaped Spirits
Qin Sang had been alert from the start. As soon as Yu Dayue shouted his warning, the ebony sword and Sky Poison Veil immediately revealed the presence lurking in the shadows.
A streak of sword light suddenly cut through the air, followed by a strange, eerie scream. Where the sword light passed, a phantom-like human figure appeared, pierced by the ebony sword. It violently shook for a moment before shattering into a ball of flame.
So there is a Fire Spirit Beast lying in ambush!
But unlike the Firebirds or Fire Monkeys that could be seen with the naked eye, these creatures were like ghosts—extremely elusive. Had it not been for the poisonous miasma, Qin Sang and Yu Dayue wouldn’t have noticed a thing until now.
In the next instant, the mist before them began to swirl and roil, and countless human-shaped spirits slowly materialized, blocking their path. Their eyes burned with hatred, and their faces, more human-like than those of the flying monkeys, made them even more terrifying.
Swish! Swish!…
In the blink of an eye, numerous human-shaped spirits lunged at them. Yu Dayue waved his arm and threw out a black, mysterious umbrella. The umbrella shone with a brilliant light, rapidly expanding into a huge black shield, blocking their way.
What was shocking, however, was that the spirits were able to completely ignore the umbrella, effortlessly passing through its defense!
"This is bad!"
