Chapter 49

After sending Rabbit Knife to hunt for him, Jiang Wei found a nearby lush banyan tree and hid himself, ready to play the game of waiting for the rabbit to come to the stump.

"Brother Tree, let me borrow your branch to sit for a while!" Jiang Wei lightly leaped and floated up to the treetop like a feather.

"Sure thing!" the banyan tree replied.

In the Ghost Realm, the status of plant ghosts is generally low; because plant ghosts are immobile and slow, they have almost no ability to resist animal ghosts. Fortunately, animal ghosts cannot absorb plant ghosts, otherwise, the entire Ghost Realm would probably not have a single blade of grass left.

"Thanks!" Jiang Wei knew that plant ghosts liked quiet and did not enjoy chatting, so he found a hidden branch to sit on and remained silent.

"I wonder which unlucky ghost cultivator will pass by here..." Jiang Wei thought to himself.

Jiang Wei's current strength was already among the top tier in the Daoist Mountain. There were certainly many in the mountain who were stronger than Jiang Wei, but the vast majority of ghost cultivators were weaker than him; those weaker ghost cultivators would become his prey as soon as they passed by.

"Starting today, I'll stay here and not move!" Jiang Wei pondered, "I don't believe that after a few months, I won't reach the peak of the Divine Period!"

To Jiang Wei's surprise, his first prey was not one he waited for, but one brought by Rabbit Knife.

Jiang Wei was hiding in the tree canopy when he saw Rabbit Knife running wildly towards him, shouting, "Big Brother, Big Brother, come and save me!"

"Damn, this unlucky kid!" Jiang Wei jumped down from the tree, "How long has he been out, and he already ran into such a strong ghost cultivator!"

Following closely behind Rabbit Knife was a gray giant bear with a soul strength of forty times; if Rabbit Knife's escape speed wasn't fast enough, he would have been torn apart long ago. Even so, Rabbit Knife was in grave danger—this gray bear seemed to have learned some secret technique, continuously firing air arrows at Rabbit Knife, affecting his speed.

"Big Brother, come and save me, Big Brother! This big bear can shoot air arrows, I'm about to be shot to death!" Rabbit Knife shouted anxiously. Rabbit Knife's ghost horns were not on his head, so he couldn't reincarnate; if he was hit by an air arrow or caught by the gray bear, he would be done for.

Jiang Wei used the secret technique "Light Wind" and appeared very gracefully between Rabbit Knife and the gray bear.

"Big Brother, you finally came!" Rabbit Knife hid behind Jiang Wei, "This gray bear has a soul strength of forty times, can you handle it?" Rabbit Knife only knew that Jiang Wei was strong, but didn't know exactly how strong.

"Roar?" The gray bear was startled by Jiang Wei's sudden appearance and instinctively stopped; but when it saw that Jiang Wei's soul concentration was only ten times, it laughed, "Human ghost cultivator, do you think your yin life is too long?"

Jiang Wei didn't bother to argue with the bear. As soon as they met, his long spear was already aimed at the gray bear's head.

"Roar!" The gray bear showed fear.

Jiang Wei's spear was very clear to the gray bear, and it could judge the trajectory of the spear; however, Jiang Wei's attack was so graceful that the gray bear didn't know how to defend against it.

"Whoosh!"

The long spear turned into a dragon, directly piercing through the gray bear's head; the entire process, the gray bear didn't even make any defensive moves.

"Hisss—"

A large amount of soul energy from the gray bear was devoured by Jiang Wei's "Soul Devourer" and transmitted through the spear to Jiang Wei.

"Roar!"

The gray bear struggled to escape; but at this moment, Jiang Wei pulled out his spear and immediately thrust it into the gray bear's abdomen. Jiang Wei attacked the parts where the soul energy was most concentrated; this way, one thrust would allow "Soul Devourer" to absorb more energy.

At this point, the gray bear finally realized the situation—this wasn't a human ghost soul who thought his yin life was too long, but clearly he had run into a hard wall!

"Spare my life!" the gray bear begged. If he didn't beg for mercy, he would lose his life.

Jiang Wei followed his usual routine: "Go and reincarnate, I won't stop you!"

The gray bear didn't dare to hesitate, fused his two horns, and fell into the cycle of reincarnation. Although the next life was unknown, it was better than being completely destroyed.

"Big Brother, you are so strong..." Rabbit Knife muttered, watching the powerful gray bear being defeated by Jiang Wei in a single move.

Jiang Wei smiled without comment.

Wasn't it just a gray bear with a soul strength of forty times? Jiang Wei's true soul strength had already reached thirty times, not much weaker than the gray bear; more terrifying was Jiang Wei's realm—unless the opponent's strength was far greater than Jiang Wei, they could rely on speed and strength to confront Jiang Wei; otherwise, they could only be crushed by Jiang Wei, unable to even touch his clothes.

At this moment, the gray bear's true spirit had fallen into the cycle of reincarnation, leaving behind a body of unowned soul energy.

"Snap!"

Jiang Wei tore off one of the gray bear's arms and threw it to Rabbit Knife: "Since you worked hard to bring the gray bear here, this is your reward!" Although he already had Rabbit Knife's life in his hands (Note: This sentence really has no special meaning, don't think too much about it!), Jiang Wei still knew the principle of "giving a sweet date after a slap"; giving Rabbit Knife a little benefit would make him work harder.

Sure enough, Rabbit Knife was almost moved to tears: "Thank you, Big Brother..." In fact, Rabbit Knife didn't intentionally lead the gray bear; he just happened to meet it on the mountain path and was chased by it; if it weren't for Jiang Wei, Rabbit Knife might have been killed.

While devouring the massive soul energy, Jiang Wei said, "Eat quickly, absorb it, and then continue to hunt for me—preferably bring me more of these big bears!"

"More of these..." Rabbit Knife's face fell—this one almost cost him his life; if it happened a few more times, he wouldn't know how he would die.

"But don't dare to eat them behind my back!" Jiang Wei sternly warned, "If your soul strength increases when you return, don't blame me for being unfriendly!" This point, Jiang Wei had to control; otherwise, if Rabbit Knife returned stronger than him, that would be a disaster!

"I dare not! I dare not!" Rabbit Knife said in fear. Rabbit Knife's ghost horns were still in Jiang Wei's hands, and with the rabbit's timid nature, he wouldn't dare to risk his life.

The stronger the ghost cultivator devoured, the faster the strength increased. After devouring the gray bear, Jiang Wei's soul concentration increased from ten times to thirteen times; and Rabbit Knife's soul strength increased from fifteen times to twenty times.
