Here’s a list of names, in case someone couldn’t remember them:
Level 10 team
Chen Changdong (leader)
Liu Yue (older sister of the twins)
Liu Xing (younger sister of the twins)
Yuan Jin (man with slightly long hair)
Ma Ming (a short guy) -dead
Dong Xu (a tall guy)
Since their target has appeared, everyone puts away their laughter and immediately picks up their spirit weapon. As an archer, Lou Fan is a good player in long-range attacks. He picked up his bow without blinking and shot the spiritual arrows one after another. The arrows flew into the dark and got engulfed, one doesn’t know if it hits anything or not.
The Level 10 team watched from the side, thinking that Lou Fan would stop shooting soon. After all, there are restrictions on spirit weapons’ usage. No matter how many spiritual arrows he has, he can’t keep shooting out like this. His actions just now were as fierce as a tiger, and he already shot dozens of the spiritual arrows. However, Lou Fan didn’t mean to stop at all. He simply changed direction and continued to shoot, shifting to left and right.
Liu Yue is a little worried. As Wen Lang is just half a step ahead of her, thinking that the junior team seemed nice to talk with, Liu Yue asked, “Will it be too wasteful for Mr. Lou to use his spiritual arrow like this?”
No matter how many spiritual arrows there are, it can’t stand letting Lou Fan shoot unlimited like this. Long-range attack weapons are very useful weapons, but unlike their melee weapons, which can be used casually, arrows are consumable items.
Hearing the question, Wen Lang answered in a nonchalant tone, “Brother Lou’s spiritual arrows are unlimited, he can shoot at will.”
Wen Lang only said it lightly, but he didn’t know that everyone in the Level 10 team heard it. Next, everyone’s gaze at Lou Fan changed.
What is the concept of unlimited spiritual arrows? It is equivalent to people taking a red potion to recover blood while he is shooting arrows. Then, people are taking a blue potion to recover mana but he is still shooting arrows. When people are meditating to recover blood, he hasn’t stopped shooting arrows…[1]
This ability is a bit overpowered, how can a spirit weapon be like this? They are all at level 10 and yet, they have never heard of such ability before. Moreover, this junior team doesn’t only have this abnormal person, there is also another one who can use a ballpoint pen[2] to draw amulets on his spirit weapon book which actually works. Where can they seniors put their faces?!
Probably from being shot too many times by Lou Fan’s spiritual arrows, the black mass got separated from the darkness again. This time, the Level 10 team immediately picked up their weapons and swarmed the black mass, not letting it run away again.
But can the evil spirit be so easy to catch?
Yuan Jin and Dong Xu rushed to the front but they got injured by the evil spirit not long after, and their bodies are covered in wounds. Wen Lang and Jiang Dong immediately caught up, but they are both long-range players so they couldn’t get too close. Liu Yue and Liu Xing are girls after all, and their weapons are not that powerful. Still, they persisted in attacking in front, with little success, however. After that, with Qin Tan joined in, it immediately relieved their pressure. Qin Tan’s strength is strong, and he can injure the black mass with every slash. It can be seen that the recovery of the slash is getting slower and slower.
At the back, Lou Fan shoots arrows at every turn. He has his back to the corridor, which is as black as thick ink behind him. All of a sudden, Lou Fan felt a breath of coolness behind him. He is about to turn around immediately, but the black mist instantly wrapped him and pulled him inward. Lou Fan immediately took out the radish flower from his trouser pocket and shredded it, but it is useless! A grip at his shoulder gave him so much pain but he endured it and he shot backward with a backhand motion. Spiritual arrows didn’t need much force to be shot so Lou Fan gritted his teeth and shot an arrow. His shoulders loosened, and when he turned around, Lou Fan couldn’t see anyone around anymore. It is pitch black all around.
Without a wall to stick on, Lou Fan took out Chen Shuyang’s amulet from his pocket and patted it on his backpack instead. A faint light lit up but the diameter of the lighted area is only about 2 meters. Lou Fan breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time, he felt a little headache about how to return to the other members.
…
Seeing that Lou Fan got dragged away, Qin Tan turned around and chased after him. The black mist instantly surrounded Lou Fan. When Qin Tan reached out, he caught nothing. So, he lifted his footsteps and immediately caught up, walking into the darkness.
“Team leader Qin!” Chen Changdong shouted, but he is unable to stop Qin Tan’s footsteps. He knew how powerful the black fog is. Before that, Ma Ming didn’t even have the time to struggle and already died tragically.
“Brother Lou, Brother Qin!” Wen Lang shouted but neither of them can be seen anymore. He turned his head to look at Jiang Dong instead. Jiang Dong frowned as he said, “Take care of the evil spirits first, it’s useless for us to go in.”
Wen Lang is a little indecisive now, so he nodded at Jiang Dong’s words, a poker flew out of his hand. Jiang Dong’s hand didn’t stop either, the bandages wrapped around the evil ghost almost making it into a mummy.
Trapping the evil spirit, Chen Changdong immediately rolled back the fishing line. To be safe, he used the fishing line to circle the evil spirit a few times. An intermediate spirit weapon is different from a primary spirit weapon. The moment his fishing line entangled around the evil spirit, it is immediately tied up and unable to move.
The remaining 7 people turned to look into the depths of the darkness.
…
Qin Tan walked into the darkness but he could not see anything around him, only his Tang sword is emitting a white layer of light. However, he is very calm, and shouted as he walked, “Lou Fan, Lou Fan! Where are you?”
Qin Tan’s voice is loud, but he didn’t hear the slightest response, as if he is the only one left in this space. Slashing in the air with his Tang sword, he could even feel the sensation of the black mist being split open. Slashing out tirelessly, Qin Tan chopped as he walked forward persistently.
…
Lou Fan moved forward, and suddenly he heard someone calling him. He turned his head but saw nothing. When he turned back again, a pair of scarlet eyes appeared just before the tip of his nose, startling him. Lou Fan is about to shoot an arrow when the pair of eyes retracted into the darkness.
Frick, what the hell was that?! A ghost that is out to scare people?
After taking a few steps forward again, Lou Fan suddenly saw a figure in the distance facing away from him. That familiar figure, who else if not Qin Tan? Lou Fan immediately became happy and ran forward, shouting, “Qin Tan, I’m here!”
But when Lou Fan is reaching the figure, he suddenly slowed down and shot an arrow tentatively. Anyway, if it is really Qin Tan, the spiritual arrow would not be able to hit anything. That moment when the spiritual arrow shot into the back of that figure, there seemed to be a low growl in Lou Fan’s ear. The figure turned around, and Lou Fan suddenly shouted curses in his heart!
That’s not Qin Tan, it is clearly the man who fell and died messily previously!
Lou Fan immediately stepped back, but the coldness behind him made him feel that things are turning bad. There’s something behind while a ghastly deceased is approaching him at the front. Without hesitation, Lou Fan immediately tore up the immobilizing amulet he had prepared in his hand.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze. Lou Fan immediately stepped forward and glanced at the immobilized evil spirit behind him. He picked up his bow and kept shooting spiritual arrows at it. Feeling that he almost shot enough, Lou Fan immediately fled the scene.
A minute passed quickly, and Lou Fan didn’t know where he ran to again. The light from the Yang Gathering Amulet on his backpack is already very weak, and it seemed that it would go out in the next second. With no more immobilizing amulet in his hand, Lou Fan had to keep on high alert. At this moment, he is praying that Chen Shuyang would learn more spells, the more ghost-repelling ones the better. In this kind of close encounter with ghosts, having those weapons is convenient to kill any ghosts encountered.
On the other hand, it seems that the evil ghost has stopped going around in circles with Lou Fan anymore. A chilly breeze blew over and Lou Fan turned sideways, shooting the arrows. The lethality of his spirit arrows is not high, the advantage is that they are large in number. However, restricted by manpower, Lou Fan can’t shoot multiple spirit arrows at one time. Hence, their lethality to evil spirits is too small.
Seeing the evil ghost with a bloody mouth coming towards him with murderous scarlet eyes, Lou Fan immediately rolled down. But the evil ghost moved quickly and managed to grab his ankle, causing his entire calf to be a bloody mess. A chunk of flesh and blood is separated from his leg bone, where the white bones under the flesh could be seen clearly.
“ARRGH!” Lou Fan exclaimed in pain, unable to hold the bow in his hand.
Without stopping for a moment, the evil ghost’s claws swiftly stretched out and are about to pierce into Lou Fan’s chest.
At that moment, Lou Fan thought to himself, even if he is dead, at the very least, Qin Tan must get out of this world.
All of a sudden, the thick blackness in front of Lou Fan is cut by a stream of air. He turned his head and saw Qin Tan’s galloping figure in his blurred vision.
“Lou Fan!” Qin Tan roared and rushed over, glaring angrily. He wished he could run faster. Seeing that he is getting closer but the evil ghost’s claws are about to pierce Lou Fan, Qin Tan also tore his immobilizing amulet.
The ghost claw is only 1 centimeter away from Lou Fan’s chest. Lou Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Next, he fainted from the pain in his leg.
Qin Tan pulled the man out of the demon’s claws and helped him aside. Lou Fan is horribly wounded, this is the worst injury he’s ever had. At this moment, Qin Tan only regretted that he let Lou Fan follow him tonight. He took out the wound medicine prepared by Jiang Dong and poured it on Lou Fan. But Lou Fan’s calf is quite badly injured so Qin Tan didn’t dare to touch it at all. Fortunately, Lou Fan only passed out and nothing else.
When the effect of the immobilizing amulet has passed, the evil ghost resumed its movements. It is very annoyed by the repeated misses and the surrounding wind gusted wildly towards the 2 men.
Qin Tan almost lost Lou Fan so he is feeling extremely displeased at the moment. His movements are hard and fast as he fought with the evil spirit. The evil spirit is ferocious and yet, Qin Tan’s fight became smoother and smoother. There is an indescribable feeling in him, Qin Tan felt that he could even see the movements of the evil spirit clearly. The ruthlessness increased in Qin Tan’s heart. He just wanted to get rid of the evil spirit as soon as possible and help Lou Fan to apply medicine. His movement became faster and faster, almost only his afterimage can be seen. The next moment, a snapping noise sounded in the air, as if a bubble had burst. The Tang sword in Qin Tan’s hand is like red-hot iron, emitting an orange-red light.
…
Qin Tan walked out of the corridor with Lou Fan in his arms, the blackness around him gradually faded away, revealing 2 figures.
Jiang Dong’s eyes widened and he immediately went to Qin Tan. Lou Fan’s condition is very bad. He wanted to carry Lou Fan from Qin Tan’s arms, but Qin Tan didn’t let go. He carried Lou Fan to the circular corridor and put him down on a clean place.
Taking a glance at Lou Fan, Wen Lang squatted down and asked Jiang Dong, “How is it, is brother Lou alright?” A large piece of flesh is torn off from his calf, and his whole calf is in terrible condition.
Chen Changdong glanced at Qin Tan who is showing a sullen face but unconsciously looked at the Tang sword behind him. The Tang sword, which looked ordinary just now, now exudes an orange light that can’t be ignored, just like his fishing rod.
The other members of the Level 10 team looked shocked with widened eyes. Dong Xu leaned into Chen Changdong’s ear and exclaimed in surprise, “Team leader, his spirit weapon has been upgraded!”
Anyone can see that if they are not blind. But they really did not expect that Qin Tan who is only level 5, has already improved his physique. Even Chen Changdong, he only got the opportunity to improve his physique when he was at level 8. It can only be said that Qin Tan is truly lucky.
Watching as Jiang Dong treat Lou Fan’s wound, Qin Tan saw Lou Fan frown. When Jiang Dong sprinkled the medicinal powder, Lou Fan’s brows moved again. Qin Tan’s lips moved. He wanted to tell Jiang Dong to move lighter, but he pursed his lips and said nothing in the end. However, his expression turned uglier as time passes, and his eyes are full of distress.
Knowing that Lou Fan’s life is not in danger anymore, Qin Tan forced himself to turn his head away. Then he said to Chen Changdong, “The evil spirit is inside but there is no more danger. You can go in and clean it up.”
Chen Changdong stared at Qin Tan in astonishment, as if he didn’t understand what he means. After a long while, he came back to his senses. Calling his team members who have yet to come to their senses, they rushed into the hallway.
in the hallway, the evil spirit shrouded in darkness lay on the ground and Ma Ming’s corpse is there next to it. Chen Changdong released a section of fishing line to entangle the evil spirit, but facing the dead body of his teammate, he didn’t know what to do with it.
2 evil ghosts are caught in 1 night. Chen Changdong’s team planned to seal them soon to prevent any possible mishaps.
The author has something to say:
Lou Fan: Biology mom (authors that are supposed to be nice to their main characters), you make me lose a big chunk of flesh, won’t your conscience hurt?
Author: Of course it won’t hurt, because I have no conscience.
Qin Tan: Oh, you have no conscience? (sharpening knife)
Author: … If you threaten me again, you won’t have a wife anymore.
Thank you to the little angel who voted or irrigated the nutrient solution for me~
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!

[1] Banana: I don’t understand what kind of example the author is trying to convey lol. But it should just an exaggeration that Lou Fan can shoot until the end of time and there will still arrows available to shoot.
[2] Apparently, the keyword 中性笔 is actually ballpoint pen, according to google translate. Previously, Banana wrote it as neutral stroke because I thought it’s how the amulets were drawn lol. Anyway, it will be changed to ballpoint pen in the future chapters.
