Chapter 261: Demigods
It takes about three hours to travel all the way.
The pits extend in all directions, with signs of claw digging, traces of energy blasts, and countless branching roads.
There are even some places inlaid with luminous stones. It seems that someone once stayed there for a short time and installed them conveniently to maintain light for a long time.
No other humans were found.
Instead, he encountered a group of fluorescent rats, two ultrasonic bats, a giant cockroach, and a venomous viper, which contributed seven to eight thousand gold coins to Bai Wushang's pocket.
No, the cost of purchasing the information will be paid back immediately.
Suddenly, Bai Wushang stopped.
The three-eyed demon ape next to him jumped forward with an extremely fierce stance.
"Pah——"
The black palm, which was far larger than the cattail leaf fan, struck first at a black figure that rushed out from the corner.
The latter ejected in the opposite direction at a faster speed and smashed into the wall, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and it looked like he would not survive.
Bai Wushang's eyes danced, and he concentrated carefully. There were no hidden living entities around him.
The danger warning derived from space perception has been officially lifted.
So, he took another step and approached the half-dead sneak attacker.
Under the bright white illumination symbol, Bai Wushang could clearly see its entirety.
It was a three-meter-tall humanoid creature with dark skin.
Some areas are covered with scales, somewhat similar to the cuticles of crocodiles, snakes and other animals, with tile-like tiles and compact arrangement.
Its head is very big and round, as if it were a lantern on its neck, which is extremely weird.
However, his pupils are blue, and the mouth under his nose is full of sharp teeth, showing a fierce look.
If it weren't for the chest cavity sinking at this moment, the indescribable organs would be a blur of blood and flesh, and the black blood would be spouting crazily from the mouth.
Bai Wushang really wanted to test its ability in depth.
This is a ghost, and it is also the core part of the name of this mine.

"I walked for so long before I met one..."
Bai Wushang shook his head, "It seems that the old man is right. This mine is not what it used to be. It's too desolate."
It is said that when the mine was first discovered, there were thousands of ghosts living here, which led to the deaths of hundreds of masters and pet beasts.
Hence the name "Ghost Man's Pit".
It's a pity that the name is somewhat misplaced now.
The number of ghosts in the mine has dropped by 99%, and it takes a bit of luck to encounter one.
This kind of monster belongs to the standard subhuman species.
However, in the human world, it always has mixed praise and criticism.
There are very few masters who are willing to contract demihumans as pet beasts.
On the one hand, the growth limit of demihumans is basically controlled by bloodline, and there are not many types that can evolve.
Most of them reach a certain level when they are born, such as ghosts, who are born in the early stages of maturity.
It does not have a natural evolutionary chain.
Even for mediocre individuals, it is not easy to advance once in a lifetime.
No matter how strong your individual qualifications are, the peak of your mature body is the end.
If you want to evolve, you need opportunities that are many times higher than those of other species, and you need to find methods through alternative channels such as mutation.
This is the primary factor that makes the Master unwilling to contract.
You can see the potential at a glance, why would you want it?
On the other hand, most demihumans are quite intelligent.
But generally speaking, domestication is extremely difficult.
It is even more difficult to get used to it and improve the fit.
Going back to the origin, part of the reason is that these creatures have innate disgust and jealousy towards humans with similar physical appearance.
It costs a lot to gain their recognition.
Orcs are the best proof of this.
As the largest branch of the demihuman race, the orcs come in all shapes and sizes, with no less than 50,000 sub-branch races.
But outside the dynasty, in areas not yet fully covered by the Master’s power.
It is said that there are many orc tribes that regard humans as mortal enemies.
There are countless similar stories in the book. Bai Wushang has seen them since he was a child, so how could he not know them?
Of course, Aunt Green's pet beast is Sister Meisha who has evolved into the ultimate form of "Snake Girl".
It is considered a special existence and cannot be lumped together.
The natural evolutionary chain originating from the Snake Girl starts with the animal form.
It was only in the successive evolutionary processes that it gradually became human and possessed some human morphological characteristics.
This is a relatively special subhuman race, no different from normal extraordinary creatures.
Thoughts return to reality.
Putting aside the overall situation, let’s just look at the sub-race of ghosts.
It likes to walk alone, like darkness, and like to hide underground.
They may live in an area with their own kind, but apart from reproducing offspring, they are not friendly to others.
Especially when it comes to food, cannibalism is not uncommon.
Ghosts don't eat meat, they eat souls.
For human masters, it is really a super tonic and a dream.
However, the ghosts in this "ghost trap" are no longer anything to worry about.
It is a matter of time before they die or move their habitat.
However, when he tried to make a sneak attack, he was punched three times by Azu and was beaten into a maimed ghost with only his last breath left.
He suddenly opened his mouth wide, and his snake-like tongue split into eight pieces, like sharp short spears, trying to penetrate Bai Wushang's body.
"Beasts are going to die. It's really hard to change their nature..."
Bai Wushang never lowered his guard and jumped back the moment it grinned.
He threw a dagger smoothly, crossed the distance of five meters, hit it between the eyebrows, and nailed it to the wall completely.
[Hunting successful, Gourmet Cell 76]
"A mid-mature ghost, the main ingredients together...should be four thousand gold coins, right?"
Once the dust falls, there are no worries.
While Bai Wu was thinking sadly, he raised the black steel machete in his right hand, slashed it twice, and cut off a pair of ghost claws.
At the same time, he picked out a black crystal core from the opponent's chest and put it all into the storage ring.
"Okay, let's go."
After saying hello to the three-eyed demon ape, Bai Wushang patted the little rabbit and gently woke it up:
"Yinhe, prepare to start construction, look for any good things underground nearby..."
It is nightfall, which is the time when the little rabbit is in the best mental state.
Bai Wushang was going to test the water first and see how effective the geodetection technique was.
If that doesn't work, I'll use the object-finding compass tomorrow to locate the Thunder Scorpion and capture it as soon as possible.
"Jigujigu!"
The little rabbit jumped up and down and landed on the ground.
Press the small paw on the ground to start the vertical detection mode.
In its mid-mature form, it can detect depths of up to fifty meters under a geological structure like the Ghost Man's Pit.
Although it is far inferior to the finding compass, it is a tool of the God of Cookery, so how can we treat it with common sense.
Besides, Little Rabbit is a gifted skill, which can be held stably for a long time, and its power will gradually increase as the level grows.
