The headless corpse spoke, still tugging hard at the stake, but to no effect.
Seeing this, the plump and skinny ghosts didn't stand idle, and quickly joined in to pull upwards.
Unfortunately, they still gained nothing.
"Damn it! How could this be?"
"Now you know, it's this stake, it's very strange!"
"Yeah, how is this guy different from the others?"
The skinny ghost said, pointing to a stake nearby.
The others were all pitch-black, only this one had a yellow halo around it.
"Damn it, if we can't pull it out, we'll destroy it!"
The headless corpse said angrily and reached out to smash it.
"Wait, brother! Let's keep it, maybe it can still serve a purpose!"
"You mean..."
The headless corpse calmed down instantly.
Rare treasures are few in number. Today, with this discovery, if it could be reported to Na Qianlai, with his powerful magic, he might be able to remove this stake. Then, it would be a merit for himself.
Having decided this, the headless corpse's eyes rolled, and he said:
"You two guard this treasure here, I'll go report to the Lord! Remember, no one is allowed near! Especially Lu Fang!"
"Yes, yes, go ahead, brother. With us two brothers here, we definitely won't let anyone else get close!"
The skinny ghost responded.
The headless corpse hurried to the Shura Field to ask Na Qianlai.
"Reporting to the Lord!"
"What's the rush?"
Na Qianlai asked calmly.
"A peculiar stake that cannot absorb souls."
"Oh, is that so? Are you slacking off and deliberately saying the stake is disobedient?"
"No, no, no, if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare!"
The headless corpse said, waving his hands, his expression as innocent as could be.
"Tell me in detail!"
Na Qianlai said, while doing his own thing.
It was a rare good day for him, and he didn't immediately lose his temper.
"Yes!"
The headless corpse obeyed and described the matter of removing the stakes with embellishments, and also described in great detail how that stake was different.
Upon hearing this, Na Qianlai said, "How could you mess this up? We've designed soul collection into a production line, and you still can't do it? Forget it, I'll go take a look. Also, notify Lu Fang to come along!"
"Yes, yes, yes, your subordinate will go now!"
The headless corpse accepted the order, quickly notified Lu Fang, and then they arrived at the train station together.
Upon reaching the strange stake, Na Qianlai immediately cast a spell.
A black stream transformed into a rope, quickly strangling the head of the stake. The yellow halo did not disappear but transformed into something like an arm, tightly wrapping around the black rope.
How could Na Qianlai tolerate such arrogance from the stake?
He hadn't intended to increase his magic power, but now he had to.
The headless corpse and Lu Fang stood by watching. If they couldn't even handle it, how could they lead the Shura Field in the future?
But the stake seemed to know his thoughts and was determined to resist. The harder he pulled, the more firmly the stake held.
How could a mere small stake contend with Na Qianlai's profound magic power?
Na Qianlai increased his magic power by three parts before he managed to pull out the wobbly stake.
"It's out, it's out! The Lord is wise! The Lord is wise!"
"The Lord is wise!"
The headless corpse said, and the plump and skinny ghosts echoed him.
Na Qianlai said nothing, but his heart was extremely unsettled.
He knew that even for him, it took a great deal of magic power to remove it. With the cultivation of the headless corpse and Lu Fang, they could only dream of taking it down.
If such stakes were to become more numerous, what would happen?
This matter must be investigated thoroughly.
"Lu Fang!"
"Your subordinate is here!" Lu Fang stepped forward and answered upon hearing Na Qianlai call him.
"What do you think this is about?"
"This... your subordinate does not know. This situation has never occurred before!"
Lu Fang replied truthfully. Seeing that Na Qianlai had spent considerable effort to remove it, he had a rough idea.
This kind of stake might have mutated, or it might have been enchanted by someone.
Otherwise, it was inexplicable why they were so difficult to remove. As for whether Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai were behind it, that remained to be investigated.
With their current magic power, they were no match for Na Qianlai.
All of this was mere speculation, and a hasty conclusion could not be drawn before they had completely disappeared.
"You always have many ideas and good judgment. How about this, I'll entrust this matter to you! Research this thing, and investigate the whole matter from beginning to end!"
Na Qianlai said calmly.
"Yes, your subordinate obeys!"
Lu Fang said, bowed, and took the stake from Na Qianlai's hand.
The headless corpse's hanging arm twitched slightly. He looked at Na Qianlai, wanting to speak but hesitating. Su Dan Novel Network.
He was the first to discover this treasure stake, and now, it had nothing to do with him.
Na Qianlai said no more and leaped into the air, flying away.
"Hurry up! Are you waiting for New Year's? Go check other places to see if there are any stakes you can collect!"
The headless corpse commanded, and the plump and skinny ghosts followed him closely, leaving as well.
Lu Fang looked at the stake in his hand, then at the person from whom the stake had been removed.
At this moment, the person's face was dull and lusterless, asleep on the hospital bed. Lu Fang flicked his wrist and implanted another stake.
Strangely, the newly implanted stake grew at an astonishing rate. In less than a moment, it was already as large as a fist.
Seeing this, Lu Fang's face broke into a triumphant smile.
In addition to this discovery, he also had to investigate who had cast a spell on the yellow stake and whether this type of stake could be used to collect souls.
Thinking of this, Lu Fang concealed his tracks and quietly waited in the shadows for an opportunity.
As long as that person was still in Sandong City, he would surely leave some clues.
On the platform, it was quiet, with no one around.
It was late at night when Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai appeared on the platform.
They intended to check the condition of the stake with yellow light, hoping to gain something from it.
However, upon checking the isolated individuals one by one, they found only two stakes.
The stake that had absorbed the most Jieyou powder was gone, replaced by a clump of black, which was very strange.
"That's odd, odd, how did this stake return to its original state?"
Fu Ruhai said with a grave expression.
Liu Sandao followed his gaze and looked carefully. The stake clearly revealed a dark black hue.
"It's not the original stake!"
"Oh, really? How can you tell?" Fu Ruhai asked in surprise upon hearing Liu Sandao's words.
