Chapter 8

As is well known, in the human world, tigers do not grow horns; however, in the ghost world, tigers also grow a pair of ghost horns. These ghost horns on tigers are called tiger horns.

"Ah Wei, once you leave the city, it will be the territory of other species! Take this gun; the 'ghost iron' on the tip is particularly effective against ghosts." This gun was bought by Li Hao with all his savings. The reason he bought a gun instead of a sword or other weapon is that, first, a gun is more practical than a sword when fighting fierce beasts, and second, 'ghost iron' is very expensive, and guns use less of it, making them relatively cheaper; if it were a sword, Li Hao couldn't afford it.

Jiang Wei solemnly took the gun; he was too lazy to say more thanks.

"Be extremely careful!" Li Hao warned again, "If it gets too dangerous, you must decisively reincarnate. After reincarnation, it will be a new life, but at least you'll still be alive; if you die, you'll be truly dead, with no chance of a next life!"

"I understand!" Jiang Wei replied.

"I won't go with you. My small body and lack of weapons would just be a death sentence!" Li Hao laughed bitterly.

In the ghost world, a larger body is a significant advantage; equal in strength, a larger body means more 'health points.' A small person like Li Hao, once outside the city, could be easily taken down by a stray cat or dog.

"Take care of yourself too!" Jiang Wei said, "If I can't come back, I'll thank you in my next life!" With that, Jiang Wei turned resolutely and strode out of the city.

"Thanks a lot!" came Li Hao's choked laughter from behind.

...

The walls of Original Sin City were cold but grand.

Original Sin City is the territory of the human race, and no other species dare approach.

In fact, compared to other species, humans are naturally weak, and even as ghosts, they remain so. If mixed with other species, human ghosts are easily slaughtered. Thus, in ancient times, powerful humans built cities and arrays, constructing one ghost city after another in the ghost world.

These ghost cities have special arrays; once a human ghost is born within a certain range, they are directly drawn into the city, while ghosts of other species are repelled outside. The ghost cities are indestructible and are the greatest support for human ghosts in the ghost world.

Jiang Wei originally thought that not many ghosts would venture out of the city to fight; however, the number of ghosts surging out of the city was far more than those who took the test!

"So many ghosts!" Jiang Wei was surprised—how could so many ghosts be so reckless?

What Jiang Wei didn't know was that many ghosts with their yin lifespans nearly exhausted had nothing to lose, so they decided to make a desperate attempt. If they successfully hunted a tiger horn, they could leap to a higher status and perhaps extend their yin lifespan significantly; even if they failed, it didn't matter much, as they would just enter the cycle of reincarnation earlier.

These ghosts spent all their savings on equipment, arming themselves to the teeth with jewels and treasures! In comparison, Jiang Wei, with just a single spear, looked very poor.

"Comparing people to people can be deadly, and comparing goods to goods can be wasteful!" Jiang Wei sighed, looking at the waves of ghosts around him, all armed with large swords, iron armor, and heavy shields.

These ghosts formed small teams of three to five, which then combined into larger groups, and these groups formed a massive ghost army, marching grandly into the depths of the forest outside the city. Jiang Wei, with only a bare spear, was naturally ignored, and no ghost sought to team up with him.

"Uh..." Jiang Wei was speechless; without a team, hunting a tiger ghost alone would be suicide. After all, a tiger ghost is ten times stronger than an ordinary human ghost!

"Should I slink back?" Jiang Wei pondered for a moment, "Or should I follow the army and see if I can find any easy pickings?"

For an ordinary ghost to leave the city and venture into the wild alone is very dangerous; however, if tens of thousands of ghosts move together, the danger is relatively much lower!

Following the tens of thousands of ghosts, even if he couldn't get a tiger horn, he might have a chance to hunt some weaker species' ghosts. If he could devour some ghosts, Jiang Wei's strength would increase significantly.

Jiang Wei followed the tens of thousands of ghosts, charging into the forests of the ghost world. Along the way, wolves, tigers, and leopards fled at the sight of the massive ghost army, not daring to engage.

Jiang Wei had hoped to find some easy pickings, but after following for a while, he realized—how could there be any easy pickings? The small animals weren't fools; they wouldn't just stand there waiting to be killed. Seeing such a large human ghost army, they had long fled.

Following the army, Jiang Wei realized he wouldn't find any easy pickings; even if there were, they would have been taken by other ghosts long ago!

"At this rate, I won't even be able to hunt a rabbit, let alone a tiger!" Jiang Wei thought.

Suddenly, Jiang Wei's eyelids twitched—something was wrong!

Although the tens of thousands of ghosts marching together seemed safe, they were in the territory of other species, not the human race!

The humans were just visitors here!

Moreover, if tens of thousands of ghosts could easily sweep through the forest, the ghosts in Original Sin City would have long left the city! How could other species have any place to stand?

But in reality, in the past couple of days, Jiang Wei had heard and seen how terrifying the outside world was!

Thinking about this, Jiang Wei suddenly felt a chill, as if he were walking into the depths of death.

"No, I can't keep following like this!" Jiang Wei suddenly realized.

Could Jiang Wei be the only smart ghost among the tens of thousands? Of course not!

However, the tens of thousands of ghosts were in a state of extreme confidence, with a spirit of sweeping away all the forest ghosts. They saw only their own strength and the fleeing of other ghosts; in such a situation, how many ghosts could remain clear-headed?

Moreover, the tens of thousands of ghosts didn't know that above the clouds, a handsome ghost was watching them. The ghost's mouth emitted strange waves that completely enveloped the tens of thousands of ghosts below; ordinary ghosts couldn't hear these waves, but they were subconsciously influenced.

Seeing this, the handsome ghost smiled evilly, "The once-a-century feast is about to begin again!"

A six-winged white tiger flew to the handsome ghost's side and laughed, "I'll return the favor and send you a 'monster attack city package' later!"

"Ha ha ha..."

The man and the tiger laughed together.

As they laughed, the handsome ghost suddenly paused, "There's one thing that's a bit strange—my test stone, which I've used for thousands of years, suddenly broke! Fortunately, I had already planned to send a bunch of ghosts to you this year, so I took the opportunity to slightly modify the test content... hehe!"

"Did you not maintain the test stone regularly?" the six-winged white tiger asked.

"How could that be!" the handsome ghost complained, "I just had it serviced at the 4S shop..."
