Chapter 43

An ambush!?

Jiang Wei became extremely cautious. With his Insight Realm abilities, every part of his body could be used as eyes and ears; no matter from which direction the enemy attacked, he could detect it instantly.

At the same time, Jiang Wei focused a large amount of his attention on the slowly materializing ghostly figure.

"What kind of ambush technique is this? I don't seem to have heard Master mention it!" Before leaving, Jiang Wei had familiarized himself with all the common ambush techniques. After all, humans and ghosts were different; the ambush and counter-ambush experiences he had learned in the human world might not be applicable in the ghost world.

However, none of the ambush techniques he knew involved such an entrance.

Faced with an unknown enemy, Jiang Wei did not dare to be careless for a moment, and his long spear was always ready to deliver a fatal blow.

As the black ghostly figure continued to solidify, Jiang Wei finally saw its true form—a domestic pig.

"A pig?" Jiang Wei was taken aback.

However, when two small horns slowly rose from the empty pig's head, Jiang Wei was instantly stunned—this wasn't an ambush at all; it was a pig that had just been born into the ghost world!

"Damn, you scared me for nothing, I must kill you!" When Jiang Wei saw that the pig's soul strength was less than one-fold, he became even more certain that this pig had just "died" and come from the human world.

Jiang Wei couldn't help but sigh, "What a poor soul, why be born right in front of me? If I don't eat you, I'll feel like I'm letting down this encounter!" Thinking of this, Jiang Wei looked at the pig with ill intent, already considering which part to start eating first.

After a brief moment of confusion, the pig finally regained its senses: "Snort~ Snort~ Grunt~" It habitually "snorted and grunted" a few times, suddenly realizing—hey, it could speak human language!

At this moment, the pig finally saw Jiang Wei, who was standing not far away, holding a spear.

"Who... are... you?" The pig was speaking for the first time, so its voice was very shaky; if a human heard this trembling tone, they would be terrified—this was a very standard "ghost voice"!

Of course, this ghost voice couldn't scare Jiang Wei, who was a ghost himself; what was there to be afraid of?

"Me?" Jiang Wei grinned sinisterly, "I'm here to eat you... ghost!"

"Eat me?" The pig was immediately terrified and started to kowtow, "Don't eat me, don't eat me, I was just made into a roasted whole pig in the human world! Brother!"

"Brother? Damn!" Jiang Wei was so angry that he kicked the pig right away—being called "brother" by a pig, he would become a pig too!

"Spare my life, spare my life!" The pig, being quite intelligent, immediately started to beg for mercy when it saw the danger.

"Spare your life... that's impossible! But I won't completely destroy you. You should immediately merge your horns and reincarnate; if you're too slow, you won't even have a next life!" Jiang Wei could let it reincarnate, but he wouldn't let this "fatty" slip away.

The pig's face immediately showed deep sorrow: "I was just roasted as a whole pig in the human world, probably not even fully cooked; now my soul is going to be eaten by you!"

"If you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck! Why did you have to be born in such a unlucky place in the ghost world!" Jiang Wei sneered.

"Where is this place?" The pig asked unwillingly. As a pig, when it saw Jiang Wei's "salivating eyes," it knew it couldn't escape being eaten; but even if it died, it wanted to die with understanding.

"You're about to start your next life, does it matter where this place is?" Jiang Wei didn't want it to die with understanding; after saying that, he no longer bothered to talk to a pig and directly thrust his spear without mercy.

A domestic pig was not a fighting creature, and faced with Jiang Wei's spear, it was naturally pierced without any resistance.

At this moment, the pig didn't dare to continue talking and quickly merged its horns. Once the horns were merged, it could fall into the cycle of reincarnation at any time. The pig then asked another question with great reluctance: "Do you know what I will be in my next life?"

"What did you do in this life?" Jiang Wei asked casually while devouring the pig's soul.

"In this life..." The pig thought carefully, "Eat, sleep!"

"If you only know how to eat and sleep in this life, what else could you be in your next life? Of course, you'll be a pig again!" Jiang Wei answered without hesitation.

"What!?" The pig believed it and was shocked; it wanted to say more, but before it could open its mouth, it was forcibly dragged into the cycle of reincarnation.

After the horns were merged, the true spirit transferred from the soul to the merged single horn and established a strange connection with the cycle of reincarnation. At this point, the true spirit would soon be sucked away by the cycle of reincarnation and couldn't stay in the ghost world for long.

"May you have good luck in your next life!"

As the saying goes, "A full mouth is short of words," since Jiang Wei was about to eat the entire soul of this unlucky pig, he naturally had to give it a good blessing; whether the pig could receive his blessing was not something Jiang Wei cared about.

"Alas, this pig truly had a tragic fate!" Jiang Wei devoured the whole pig on his spear and sighed inwardly, "Just made into a roasted whole pig in life, and now it's immediately eaten by me after death..." Of course, Jiang Wei was just sighing for fun; if he felt guilty? Not at all.

While devouring the pig's soul, Jiang Wei also activated the "Divine Casting Technique" to refine and absorb this pure energy.

Jiang Wei originally thought that as long as the little golden figure didn't interfere, his soul concentration should increase to more than four times after absorbing this pig. However, what Jiang Wei didn't expect was that using the "Divine Casting Technique" to absorb soul energy could only absorb one-tenth of it; the other nine-tenths of the energy would be wasted.

"What's going on?" Jiang Wei clearly saw that the nine-tenths of the energy was in his stomach, but no matter how he activated the "Divine Casting Technique," he couldn't absorb any of it.

The little golden figure, which was parasitic in Jiang Wei's soul, rarely appeared and explained the confusion: "Why is practicing the 'Divine Casting Technique' much slower than other cultivation methods? Because the 'Divine Casting Technique' only absorbs the most refined and essential part of the energy; as for the rest of the energy, the 'Divine Casting Technique' doesn't even look at it!—Now, the most refined and essential energy in this pig has already been absorbed by you; the remaining energy, of course, you can't continue to absorb!"

"Ah?" Jiang Wei understood a little—simply put, the "Divine Casting Technique" was a very picky eater, only eating the best!

"What about the rest of the energy?" Jiang Wei was reluctant to discard the nine-tenths of the energy.

"Forget it, let me eat your leftovers!" The little golden figure complained, "What a hard life..."

"What do you need this energy for?" Jiang Wei asked, puzzled.

"Cultivation!" The little golden figure said irritably. As a spirit of a talisman, the little golden figure's cultivation method was naturally different from Jiang Wei's; and it had almost no requirements for the "quality" of the energy.
