I'm also desperate.
Chapter 82 The Power of the Analyzing Eyes First Manifests
Whether it felt threatened or what, the Ma Zhi Gui's attacks became much more frantic, all aimed at Fang Yue.
But the attacks were all blocked by the surrounding guards, leaving only a few that could actually reach Fang Yue.
Although its fingernails were numerous and long, they were very brittle, easily severed by anyone wielding a weapon.
Just then, the Ma Zhi Gui suddenly began retracting all its long fingernails back into the horse's body. Without the support of the long fingernails, the horse's body immediately began to fall.
Jing Yan in the distance immediately paled. "Night bro, be careful! It's about to unleash its ultimate move!"
The guard captain next to him immediately shouted, "Defensive formation! Protect Vice-Captain Night!"
But before they could surround Fang Yue, they saw Fang Yue charge forward, leap high into the air, come directly in front of the horse, and slash down with his blade.
Tear!!
The horse's head was instantly severed.
-851!
A large, blood-red number immediately exploded out.
Without its head, the remaining horse body thrashed violently. Suddenly, a thick, long fingernail emerged directly from the severed stump of the horse's head, stabbing straight at Fang Yue's forehead.
But Fang Yue seemed to have anticipated this, using his Leng Yue Blade to parry it away. Ignoring the -3 that appeared above his head, he delivered another strike to the horse's hooves as his body fell.
-451!
Another bloody critical hit. The headless horse let out a mournful neigh with its corpse.
After Fang Yue and the headless horse landed, he charged forward before the headless horse could make any moves, and hacked at the corpse three times in a row.
-541!
-491!
-575!
After these few slashes, the headless horse bled a large amount of black blood, and indeed, stopped moving.
But the system notification still didn't sound. Unsure, Fang Yue continued to deliver more blows, but the more he hacked, the more alarmed he became.
Because no matter how many times he hacked, the system didn't react. It was as if the headless horse had infinite health.
So when the others came over, they saw Fang Yue, covered in black blood, chopping at the gruesome horse's body like he was mincing meat.
"Too, too brutal!"
"Vice-Captain Night is so ferocious!"
"Vice-Captain Night must have some tragic past... This madness, just thinking about it makes my heart ache!"
"Is this Vice-Captain Night's fighting style? So cool! I want to become someone like Vice-Captain Night!"
Good children, don't learn from this. It's a sign of a violent maniac...
Jing Yan silently complained in his heart, then shouted at Fang Yue.
"Night bro, stop chopping, stop chopping! The villagers don't eat horse meat!"
You think I want to chop? But the system notification isn't popping up, how can I be at ease! Most importantly, where are my rewards? You think you can keep a whole corpse without giving me some attribute points?
Fang Yue petulantly chopped two more times before calming down.
After so many slashes, this Ma Zhi Gui should have had all its health drained.
Could it be that this thing has a health-lock ability?
Fang Yue stared at the gruesome horse corpse for a long time before the Analysis Eyes finally activated.
"Name: Ma Zhi Gui [Dead] [???]."
"Level: Black Rank Initial Stage."
"Type: Transfer Type."
"Description: A product of a spirit possessing a horse."
"Note: The horse... is dead!"
Fang Yue carefully read the information from the Analysis Eyes, his heart stirring.
Could it be… that this thing can transfer after it dies?
As if to confirm Fang Yue's thoughts, or perhaps feeling safe now that no one was hacking at the corpse, a fist-sized ball of black light floated out of the horse's corpse.
"What the hell is that?!"
Fang Yue was immediately stunned, but the people next to him looked blank.
"Night bro, what are you talking about? What what thing?"
"This, this thing! Can't you see it?"
Confused, Jing Yan followed the direction Fang Yue was pointing, but saw nothing.
The others shook their heads as well.
Fang Yue's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be… that only I can see this thing?
The next moment, the Analysis Eyes suddenly activated, and information popped up.
"Name: Ouzhi Gui."
"Level: Black Rank Initial Stage."
"Type: Transfer Type."
"Description: The Ouzhi Gui will possess various living creatures with digestive abilities, completing the possession after the host vomits to death. Depending on the living creature it possesses, the new spirit formed will also be different. The Ouzhi Gui itself is weak and cannot possess beings with internal energy [Acquired Realm]."
"Note: Master, what if I'm craving its body? Master: Just make it vomit."
Ouzhi Gui?
So the Ma Zhi Gui was produced after the Ouzhi Gui possessed the horse.
Now that the Ma Zhi Gui is dead, this parasite hasn't died…
Seeing the little black ball float slowly towards Xiao Hou next to him, Fang Yue's expression changed, and he immediately slashed out with his blade in the air.
The blade cut the little black ball in half like cutting tofu, and a number popped up.
"-1!"
-1?!
Could it be that this thing is explosively strong?!
Fang Yue's face turned pale, and before he could retreat…
Boom!!
The little black ball suddenly exploded, and a large amount of black blood splattered all over the surrounding people.
Everyone was startled, and some even screamed.
Jing Yan froze. He had just seen Fang Yue suddenly slash forward in the air, followed by a sudden explosion of black blood that splattered everywhere.
"Night, Night bro, what's going on? What did you just kill? That's way too much blood!"
But Fang Yue ignored him, and instead stared blankly at the latest system notification.
"System Notification: Congratulations to player [Ye Se Li Ming] for killing the spirit [Ouzhi Gui]. Reward: Control +0.3, Force Redirection +0.3."
Dead?
It's dead just like that?
It died with one slash and one drop of blood?
Was it really that fragile?
Fang Yue scratched his head and waited a while longer. Seeing that no more notifications popped up, he was truly certain that killing the Ma Zhi Gui had been a waste.
Killing the spirits that are formed after being possessed, like the Ma Zhi Gui, doesn't count as a reward. This is too much of a rip-off.
As for the reward given by the Ouzhi Gui, it was pitifully small, and didn't even include lifespan.
Of course, it was easy to deal with. Without being possessed, even an ordinary person could probably kill the little black ball with a punch.
No wonder Lord Han looked strange when he mentioned transfer-type spirits earlier.
So they're poor spirits that don't give rewards, and killing them is just a waste of effort.
Fang Yue searched the ground, and found that the Ouzhi Gui couldn't even gather black embers.
"Oh well, 0.3 is still 0.3."
Fang Yue consoled himself, completely forgetting that the Water Heaven Blade Technique only provided a bonus of 0.6 when activated.
"Control: 6.6 [Base: 26.6] [State/Bonus: -20]."
"Force Redirection: 6.3 [Base: 26.3] [State/Bonus: -20]."
Looking at his attributes, Fang Yue felt that killing spirits was still the fastest way to increase attributes, much better than the life-risking training methods of the cows.
It's just that spirits aren't available every day, and they're dangerous. Without the help of so many guards, Fang Yue wouldn't have been able to kill the Ma Zhi Gui so easily.
He briefly told Jing Yan and the others about the Ouzhi Gui.
Jing Yan was okay, not really understanding the concept, but the others all stared at Fang Yue with shocked expressions.
"Vice-Captain Night can see the [Xu Gui]'s true form, like the [Ouzhi Gui], with the naked eye?"
"Unbelievable, I heard that even Lord Han needs to use tools and techniques to do that…"
"No wonder Lord Han values him so much, he's amazing!"
