I’m a Pastor, what the hell is an Acute Gastroenteritis Outbreak Spell?! - Chapter 227
Chapter 227: Chapter 167: I, Xu Qingfeng, look down on such garbage!
Translator: 549690339
In the midst of the skeleton monster swarm, Ghost Crow’s expression suddenly changed as he looked at the drastically transformed terrain ahead.
“This ability… It’s Zhu Lianghao the Night Watchman’s skill!”
“How could he be here too?”
“Even if he is, I just hope Xu Qingfeng isn’t here!”
“Otherwise, this mission could be difficult!”
“Even Lord Ghost Day was helpless against Xu Qingfeng, let alone me…”
Soon, the dense souls in the sky swooped down.
While changing the terrain could temporarily block the skeleton monsters,
it was absolutely useless against the flying spirits!
“Whoo-whoo-whoo…!”
A dozen spirits were the first to swoop down!
“Boom!”
From the ground, more than a dozen fiery serpents suddenly sprang out, rushing into the swarm of spirits.
Flame Mage Wang Yan manipulated these fiery serpents to rampage left and right in the swarm of spirits; a few spirits were burned to death on the spot, while the rest had to evade.
Dozens more of ice blades, wind blades, and thunderbolts rose from the ground, plunging into the swarm of spirits.
The most powerful was a large rotating blizzard, which sucked in dozens of spirits and shredded them brutally.
Spirits were ghost-type creatures naturally immune to physical damage.
However, they also had a negative resistance to elemental forces of fire, lightning, etc.
For them, the elemental forces of fire, lightning, and the heat and bloodlust of warriors, were their natural nemesis!
“Bloodsucking Aura!”
On the ground, Yang Liuying waved her scepter, and a series of blood-red auras appeared under the feet of the closest melee professionists, covering their entire bodies.
Under the Bloodsucking Aura, melee professionists could absorb vital energy from their enemies while attacking to restore their own vitality!
“Light of Courage!”
“Power of Endurance!”
“Bull’s Strength!”
“Holy Light Shield!”
Immediately, one auxiliary professionist skill after another flickered on the melee professionists.
There were ones enhancing strength, ones enhancing defense, ones dispelling fear, and ones providing shields.
Dozens of different auxiliary skills flashed around the fifty melee professionists.
Their overall strength increased by at least half!
“Here they come!”
“Ska!”
With the call, the first of the skeleton monsters clambered halfway up the hillside, before leaping fiercely into the air.
“Whoosh…!”
Before it could land, an arrow bolt shot violently at it, piercing its skull and smashing it into the ground.
“Ska!”
Yet, surprisingly, it shrieked and somersaulted from the ground, rapidly lunging toward the crowd!
Zheng Cheng, in the center of the crowd, focused his gaze on this skeleton monster, observing it carefully.
It didn’t look like the skeletons he had read about in books and online!
Ordinary skeletons were humanoid, with pale bones, wielding bone knives, bone swords, and other weapons, with souls ablaze in their pupils.
But this skeleton monster, although humanoid, moved with its hands on the ground, at a very high speed.
Its pupils were pitch-black and void, devoid of soul fire!
It should be known that all undead had soul fire, their most important energy center and life source.
Only by destroying their soul fire could they be completely annihilated, yet these skeleton monsters…
How come they had no soul fire?
Zheng Cheng immediately asked, “Captain Xu, why don’t these skeleton monsters have soul fire?”
Without hesitation, Xu Qingfeng replied, “Because they are not naturally occurring creatures, but monsters formed by the fusion of resentful spirits and skeletons.”
“They do have soul fire, but unlike ordinary undead, their soul fire is scattered throughout their bodies, integrated inside.”
“Destroying their skulls won’t completely kill them. Only if more than 80% of their bodies are destroyed will it be possible to eliminate them!”
Xu Qingfeng continued, “That’s what makes the skeleton monsters tricky.”
Zheng Cheng awed, “I see, this is going to be quite the battle.”
Xu Qingfeng added, “You can attack freely, but always pay attention to the enemy’s movements. Try to find out the Fallen Ones hiding in the skeleton monster swarm.”
“They will definitely hide in the skeleton monsters, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate us.”
“I’ll personally take out this swarm of Fallen Ones!”
Zheng Cheng inquired, “Captain Xu, what if Ghost Day is in there…”
“Impossible.” Xu Qingfeng scoffed, “Ghost Day fears death, why would he come to such a place? At most, he would send his puppets to die.”
“Even if he’s an epic level power, he dare not!”
Zheng Cheng’s eyes flashed as he said, “I understand.”
At that moment, more skeleton monsters rushed up from the foot of the mountain, starting a melee with the frontmost professionists.
For a time, there were people and monsters toppling over each other, with constant screams and roars.
He raised his hand, and a Voice Fire engulfed one of the skeleton monsters that charged up.
“Boom!”
Almost instantly, the skeleton monster’s entire body ignited.
The illusory flames enveloped its whole body, and its physical body also started to crumble at a visible speed.
The original white skeleton turned pitch black, and the surface of the bones also cracked, looking like dry bones.
“The effect is this good?”
Zheng Cheng’s eyes flashed, then he understood.
The skeleton monster’s body contained resentful spirits, which were formed from the unjust deaths and torturous demise of living creatures, and inherently possessed a strong negative mentality.
Once struck by the Void Fire, it burned up like dry wood in a raging fire.
He continued to utilize the void fire to attack the skeleton monster and took the opportunity to activate the Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique to search for the Fallen Ones hidden within the crowd of skeleton monsters.
Regrettably, his vision was filled with densely packed skeleton monsters and he could not discern the Professionists hidden amongst them!
Once again, his eyes flashed and a large skeleton monster in the distance suddenly caught his attention.

“An Elite BOSS?”
Zheng Cheng frowned and Xu Qingfeng, who had not made a move, asked, “Did you find something?”
“There’s a Level 69 Elite BOSS over there!”
In the crowd of skeletons, a large skeleton monster, over five meters tall, roared silently and charged forward.
With a great swing of the bone sword in its hand, it swept several melee Professionists off their feet.
“BOSS! The BOSS is here!”
“Quick, restrain him!”
“Hold on! Call the mages…”
Cries of alarm kept coming, and Xu Qingfeng immediately made a decision.
“Pedong, you go and deal with that BOSS.”
“No problem!”
The slender figure of Jia Pedong reached out and a curved sword, flickering with a faint glow, appeared in his hand.
His figure blurred, leaving several afterimages in its wake and vanished from Zheng Cheng’s sight.
An assassin!
This silent Night Watchman in the team was actually a high-ranking assassin who could conceal his figure and aura!
Xu Qingfeng asked again, “Have you found the Fallen Ones?”
“Not yet.” Zheng Cheng shook his head then suddenly asked, “By the way, Captain Xu, do you know the names of the Ghost Crow’s followers?”
“Names?”
“Yes, aliases will do!”
Xu Qingfeng said solemnly, “Ghost Crow has five powerful followers at Level 69, known as the ‘Five Ghosts of Yin Mountain’. They are Hairy Ghost Liang Fan, Lust Ghost Chen Yu, Ghost Crow Jin Peng. As for the remaining Cloud Ghost and Bone Ghost, there is no specific information.”
“Liang Fan, Chen Yu, and Jin Peng, huh? Let’s try them one by one!”
Zheng Cheng immediately entered these three names into the search box of the Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique one after the other, and the paths of the first two individuals exceeded the maximum detection range.
However, the third person, Ghost Crow Jin Peng, the blood-colored light spot, surprisingly appeared two thousand meters away and was gradually moving towards the battlefield.
That is to say, Ghost Crow Jin Peng was here!
“Captain Xu, I found him!” Zheng Cheng immediately said, “Ghost Crow Jin Peng, is at the three o’clock direction from our current position.”
“There are definitely many Fallen Ones hidden here!”
“I see.” Xu Qingfeng responded, “Keep an eye on Ghost Crow Jin Peng’s movements. The moment he appears, I will personally take him down!”
“Yes!”
Zheng Cheng acknowledged and continued to monitor the Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique.
“This spatial fissure incident is not a simple accident.” Xu Qingfeng suddenly said, “I don’t know why the Fallen Ones attacked this train, but I suspect it has something to do with you.”
“Me?”
Zheng Cheng’s eyes flickered and he said, “The World Treasure!”
“Right.” Xu Qingfeng nodded, “They are protected by formations in Chang’an City and can’t make a move. But once outside the city, it’s their territory.”
“Moreover, your departure time should have been kept confidential, but they precisely located the train you were on.”
“Can you think of anything?”
Zheng Cheng’s mind flashed with a thought, “A traitor? There are Fallen ones amongst us Night Watchmen! At the very least, someone has been swayed by the Fallen Ones!”
“Right.” Xu Qingfeng nodded, “Stay alert. The World Treasure is very valuable, to both us Night Watchmen and the Fallen Ones…”
Zheng Cheng hesitated, “Then…what about you, Captain Xu?”
“I heard from Sister Yunxiao that your level has reached 79, and you’re just one step away from the Epic realm. If you had the World Treasure…”
“Me?”
Xu Qingfeng laughed mockingly, “To advance to the Epic Realm by relying on external objects is the weakest among all Epic Realm powerhouses!”
“How could I, Xu Qingfeng, ever choose such a path?”
He slowly clenched his fist and said coldly, “I want to step into the Epic Realm with my own cultivation and strength, not by relying on some World Treasure!”
Looking at the solemn Xu Qingfeng, Zheng Cheng took a deep breath and said, “Sorry, Captain Xu, I misunderstood you.”
“It’s nothing.” Xu Qingfeng shook his head, “For ordinary Professionists, the World Treasure is indeed a treasure.”
“But for Professionists with strong spirits and hearts, the World Treasure is just an object with special powers.”
“If you truly wish to become a powerful being, you must not be distracted by external objects.”
Zheng Cheng sincerely said, “Yes, Captain Xu, I have learned my lesson!”
He opened the Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique again, and suddenly had another thought.
“A siege for the World Treasure, in addition to the Fallen Ones, there should be…”
Zheng Cheng thought for a moment and another person’s name immediately appeared in the search box.
In an instant, a bright red light spot appeared on the 3D map.
The distance from his location was… less than five hundred meters!
