the journey took about three hours.

the pothole extended in all directions, with traces of sharp claws digging and energy explosions everywhere. there were countless branches and paths.

there were even some places inlaid with luminous stones, which must have been used by people for a short time to maintain the light for a long time.

he didn’t see any other humans.

!!

instead, he encountered a group of fluorescent mice, two ultrasonic bats, a cockroach with giant pincers, and a venomous viper, which contributed seven to eight thousand gold coins to bai wushang’s wallet.

as a matter of fact, the money he spent on buying information was coming back.

suddenly, bai wushang stopped in his tracks.

the three-eyed demon ape beside him charged forward in a ferocious manner.

“pa! pa! pa!”

the black palm, which was much larger than a palm-leaf fan, hit a black shadow that rushed out from the corner first.

the latter bounced back at an even faster speed and smashed into the wall. blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and it looked like he would not survive.

bai wushang’s eyes flickered, and he carefully focused his mind. there were no more hidden life forms around him.

the danger warning from his spatial perception was officially lifted.

thus, he took another step forward and closed in on the half-dead sneak attacker.

under the bright white illumination talisman, bai wushang could see its full appearance.

it was a three-meter tall humanoid creature with black skin and bones.

some areas were covered with scales that were similar to the cuticles of crocodiles and snakes. they were tile-shaped and arranged closely together.

its head was huge and round, like a lantern on its neck. it was extremely strange.

however, his pupils were dark blue, and the mouth under his nose was full of sharp teeth, showing a fierce look.

if not for the fact that his chest had caved in, his indescribable organs would have been a mess of flesh and blood, and black blood would have spurted out of his mouth.

bai wushang really wanted to test its ability.

it was a ghostly man, and it was also the core of the name of the mine.

in his eyes, there was a misty look.

“we’ve walked for so long and only met one …”

bai wushang shook his head. ” it seems that the rotten old man was right. this mine is not as good as it used to be. it’s too desolate. ”

it was said that when the mine was first discovered, there were thousands of ghostly people living here, and hundreds of masters and pets died in succession.

hence the name “ghostman pit.”

unfortunately, it did not live up to its name.

the number of ghostly people in the mine had been reduced by 99%, and encountering one required a bit of luck.

this monster was a standard subhuman creature.

however, in the human world, there were different opinions.

only a small number of master tamers were willing to contract demi-humans as their beast pets.

on one hand, the upper limit of the growth of the demihumans was basically controlled by the bloodline, and there were not many types that could evolve.

most of them were born at a certain level. for example, ghostmen were born at the early stage of the mature stage.

it didn’t have a natural evolutionary chain.

even ordinary individuals would find it difficult to advance even once in their entire lives.

no matter how strong an individual’s aptitude was, the peak of the mature stage was the limit.

if one wanted to evolve, they would need opportunities that were several times more than other species. they would need to find a way through other means such as mutation.

this was the main reason why the master was unwilling to form a contract.

what was the point of having potential that could be seen at a glance?

on the other hand, most of the demi-humans were intelligent.

but it was common, and taming it was extremely difficult.

it was even more difficult to improve their compatibility.

one of the main reasons was that these creatures were naturally disgusted and jealous of humans who looked similar to them.

to gain their recognition, the price was huge.

the orcs were the best proof.

as the largest branch of the demihuman race, the orc race came in all kinds of forms, and there were no less than 50000 sub-races under their banner.

however, outside the dynasty, in an area where the power of the master had not yet fully covered.

it was said that many beastman tribes viewed humans as their mortal enemies.

there were many similar stories in the books, and bai wushang had read them since he was a child, so how could he not know?

of course, aunt lü’s pet was none other than sister melissa, who had already evolved to the ultimate form, the ” snake girl. ”

they were considered special existences and could not be mixed up.

a natural evolutionary chain originating from the lamia, starting from the beast form.

it was just that in the continuous evolutionary process, they gradually turned into human beings and had some of the physical characteristics of human beings.

this was a rather special sub-human race, no different from ordinary supernatural creatures.

his thoughts returned to reality.

putting aside the overall situation, just from the perspective of the demihuman race, the ghostmen.

it liked to travel alone, liked the dark, and liked to hide underground.

perhaps they would live in the same area as their own kind, but other than reproducing, they were not friendly.

especially when it came to food, it was common for people of the same kind to kill each other.

ghostly people didn’t eat meat, they ate souls.

to him, a human master was a super tonic that he had been dreaming of.

however, the ghostmen in the ghostman pit were no longer a cause for concern.

it was only a matter of time before they were exterminated or their habitats shifted.

however, he had tried to sneak an attack, but suffered a triple punch from ah zhou. he had been crippled and was on his last breath.

suddenly, it opened its mouth wide, and its tongue, which was like a snake’s tongue, split into eight, like sharp short spears, trying in vain to stab into bai wushang’s body.

“beast, you’re about to die. it’s really hard to change your nature …”

bai wushang had never let down his guard, and the moment it grinned, he jumped back.

he casually threw a dagger, which crossed the distance of five meters and hit the area between its eyebrows, completely nailing it to the wall.

[ hunt successful, gourmet cells +76 ]

“a mid-stage mature ghostman. all of the main ingredients added together … should be worth 4000 gold coins, right?”

when the dust settled, there was nothing to worry about.

as bai wushang pondered, he raised the black steel machete in his right hand and cut off a pair of ghost claws.

at the same time, he picked out a black crystal core from the other party’s chest and put it into his storage ring.

“alright, let’s go,”

after greeting the three-eyed witch ape, bai wushang patted the little rabbit and woke it up. ”

” milky way, get ready to start work. see if there’s anything good underground nearby … ”

it was late at night, the time when the little rabbit’s mental state was at its best.

bai wushang was ready to test the waters first to see the effect of the earth probe technique.

if it didn’t work, he would use the item seeking compass tomorrow to lock onto the lightning scorpion and capture it as soon as possible.

“ji ji ji!”

the little rabbit bounced around and landed on the ground.

it pressed its little paw on the ground and activated vertical detection mode.

in the middle stage of its mature form, it could probe up to 50 meters deep in the geological structure of the ghostman pit.

although it was far inferior to the item seeking compass, it was a tool of the culinary supreme-ruler, so how could it be viewed with common sense?

moreover, this was a bestowment skill of the little rabbit. it could be used steadily for a long time, and its power would slowly increase as its level grew.

it was perfect for treasure hunting.
